Given they don’t understand what pronouns are, I’m pretty sure there’s recursion in this bill and a future where all Texans have to send themselves to jail. Silver linings.
Fuck this shit
Oh no
Also this isn’t a boring dystopia thing, it’s the regular kind
This shit hasn’t been boring for a long time. Unfortunately.
Allowing your kids to die of measles: go right ahead
Allowing your kids to be happy: straight to jail
Well shit, one of my relatives, and a few friends may be in trouble soon…
Tbf, this bill won’t pass. Still wild and horrifying that we live in an environment in which it would be proposed.
Although, give it a couple years to come back around, and maybe it will at this rate :/.
Yeah, I didn’t mean this bill would pass but… the sentiment makes it more dangerous for some people I care about.
The politicians push this shit because they think they have the support of the people, at least in the form of votes.
I’m not so worried about the government. Not much most of us can do if the military turns against the people. I’m worried about bigoted neighbors feeling empowered.

When they say “small government”, what they mean is “consolidated power”.
Small safety net.
Large authoritarianism.
small enough to inject into your blood!
nanogovernment! utility clouds of government! grey government goo!
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.
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.
To be perfectly honest, I think furries are kinda weird. But hey, they’re just doing their thing. Why would I care? Be free, my furry friends.
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.
They are looking for any excuse to go after AOC. They are foaming at the mouth to get anyone who speaks against them already
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?
I really don’t understand how any American trans people with dual citizenship to a friendly (to trans people) aren’t using it.
*cocks gun*
“WHAT DO YOU IDENTIFY AS?”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.
In reality, I’m guessing they would just lock you away in solitary and forget about you while you absolutely lose your mind.
That sounds worse than jail. That sounds like torture. And now a punishment for a crimeless crime…
Yep. But America has long decided prison rape is a joke and part of being in prison.
And when you don’t get v coded you often get solitary confinement, which is also torture.
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.
Ugh
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.
I wonder if the most hateful are their women…
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
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.
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.
I do think that’s part of it, though I wouldn’t even necessarily call it closeted. A lot of very vocal transphobes are uncomfortable with finding some of us attractive.
Here we must also acknowledge the reality that one of the consequences of centuries of forcing trans people into the margins of society is a long history of trans people resorting to professions of desperation, one of which that’s become particularly associated with trans women being prostitution.
That has led to many people seeing trans woman as inherently sexualized. Add in how people and society interact. And this leads to our very existence being seen as sexually explicit. And this can lead even some people who have no gender or sexuality repression going on and have never found themselves attracted to us seeing us that way.
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
Huh?
are you not saying that homophobes are secretly gay?
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
They’re terrified of seeing an attractive woman and later learning she has a dick, ✨ making them gay ✨
Its not gay if shes attractive.
