I imagine there will be companion laws that make “existing as a trans or gay person around a child” sexual abuse.

I imagine there will be companion laws that make “existing as a trans or gay person around a child” sexual abuse.

Guaranteed that is the ultimate goal. Remember, they are still trying to label LGBT people, trans folks in particular, as pedos and groomers. I can take a lot of insults and bigotry hurled at me; I’ve got thick skin. But if anyone in public EVER calls me either of those words, I will fight them with everything I’ve got. I’d probably lose, but at least that person could not call me a coward as well.

I wish the cruelest ending possible upon any politician that actively works to legislate us away. All of them. And their supporters. Every last one.

If child welfare was the priority, they’d be doing something about DHS.

Oklahoma DHS refuses to investigate abuse allegations, and fires workers in retaliation for pointing out things like foster families forcing children to stay outside in freezing weather. (They will also retaliate if, say, you are a CASA and point out that the case worker assigned to a child has zero fucking clue where the child is lol. That retaliation involves spurious insinuations of child sexual abuse, which is why as a trans person who viewed the kid I advocated for as basically my daughter I had to give up on advocating for her for my own safety. Shits fucked and no one cares lol.)

Like I am at the point where I will Aaron Bushnell myself if it takes that to get someone to step in. It has literally drove me insane.

If you just beat the ass of everyone that says that malicious shit, eventually they'll stop or won't be able to speak anymore. This sounds like a win
