As long as children keep dying from measles, this is a wonderful distraction!
The slow removal of my basic human rights and criminalization of my very existence feels like a little more than just a distraction. I'm not upset at you I just really hate these things that in fact are greatly affecting my mental health and overall well-being. I'm afraid to even leave my house presenting as my true self.
I don't know how helpful this is, but we'd welcome you with open arms in most of europe on a social level, especially west and northern europe. On a institutional level there are requirements that vary from country to country about work and skills etc.
Since things are getting really bad over there, it might be worth properly researching.
Easy loophole: Just identify as your gender. Trans women are just women now. Trans men are just men now.
Nah, Trump made Women and Men non existent. Everyone who goes by Mr. or Ms. needs to go to jail and become slave labor. Sorry mate, best we can do
Identify as embryo or slave, no other choice in the free world
Well, that’s better than socialism where you have no freedom, and you’re forced to have as many genders as there are in reality. /s
These people are some of the shittiest people in the US. It boggles my mind attacking people who do NOTHING to them except exist
My theory is that anyone who's bothered by gay/trans/etc people is a closeted something and doesn't want to be reminded of their own insecurities.
They can't fucking stand that they are required to hide whatever seriously fucked up thing that they are into, and think everyone should have to suffer.
Yeah, I think it's this. It's cope to try to make a normal thing be seen as disgusting, so whatever actual disgusting shit they're doing, which always seems to be pedophelia, doesn't look so bad in contrast. It's like a preemptive both sides
How isn’t this just a way of blaming transphobia on trans people, or homophobia on (closeted) gay people?
Yeah, never a fan of this argument. Lioe saying straight people can't be homophobic lmao
They're terrified of seeing an attractive woman and later learning she has a dick, ✨ making them gay ✨
Its not gay if shes attractive.
Why do we allow these people to exist comfortably? They brazenly flaunt that they want to kill and imprison people and we just let them.
kinnda funny the same rednecks running 'dont tread on me' flags are fucking terrified of trans people. cowards.
It's all about freedom in Texas. Freedom for me and my kind.
People who support this aren't American anyway. Real Americans believe in human rights
Have you read black history in the US? :)
Or read about native Americans? I say read because they are almost extinct
Or, like, any pre-2008 American history lmao
Recognizing human rights was an anomaly over the last few years, not the norm
You're not wrong, but I also don't think the US is unique in that regard. There's been a lot of bullshit going on, even in countries that you would never imagine things like that happening in.
In most decent states there's been a ton of progress. I never claimed we were always perfect. No country has been.
bans identifying as human
The sad thing is that Mango Mussolini would be stupid enough to actually pass something like that.

Small safety net.
Large authoritarianism.
Sounds like thought crime to me.
I have trans friends in the US. This bill probably won't pass, but that doesn't mean more will come. They're already putting immigrants in concentration camps. So it looks like the gays and trans people are next. Probably not long before dissidents are after that.
I have a trans sister with a trans wife, I keep trying to get them to move back up to Canada. They're ok where they are right now. But how long will that last?
Texas has already been making lists of trans people.
Fun fact - “detransition activist” Chloe Cole (a seriously mentally ill woman who detransitioned after several bad LSD trips as a teenager, who’s mostly being puppeted around by Do No Harm, an extremely shady anti trans organization) - well, her lawyers want data on all trans people and their care covered by Kaiser.
I think Vanderbilt also outed a bunch of its trans patients to several state’s attorney generals.
HIPPA is toothless right now.
A whole gay jail? Sign me up!
nope, a mostly straight jail. they won't put us together. specifically, trans women like me are sent to men's prison and assigned to be the prison wives of violent inmates to pacify them and as a "reward" for good behavior. it's called v-coding.
That sounds worse than jail. That sounds like torture. And now a punishment for a crimeless crime...
Which is also unconstitutional, not that anyone should expect the actual laws of this country to be enforceable on anyone other than plebes and the vulnerable.
Naaawwww :( I wanted to be locked up with fellow enbys. Would be a RIOT in prison.
Love how they can't mind their own business. Even if you think something is weird as long as it doesn't harm you leave them alone.
What can we do for trans people that live in Texas and need to get out?
😐
