They're not even trying to pretend this isn't Christian fundamentalist bigotry anymore. Hopefully Rep Pace's comments get used against him in the inevitable court challenge if this bill becomes law.

If I lived in one of these states, I'd say that they violate my religious rights. And I don't mean the trolling Satanic Temple, but as a Jew.

See, the Talmud has not two, but *eight* genders (albeit on a binary axis). They are:

1. Male

2. Female

3. Both

4. Neither

5. MtF naturally

6. MtF artificially

7. FtM naturally

8. FtM artificially

So saying gender is immutable from birth violates my religious freedom.

If you think that religion can't contradict science, first of all, you should ask these transphobic legislators what they think about evolution, and also, you should ask real medical scientists (i.e. doctors) what they know about transgender people.

But I have my doubts.
