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
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
bans identifying as human
The sad thing is that Mango Mussolini would be stupid enough to actually pass something like that.
Who upvotes this no true Scotsman bullshit?
I'm sorry, but when you actively support bullshit laws like this that dehumanize people, you don't get to call yourself an American. Simple as that
To be clear, I am not defending them. I am just pointing out bad logic because it leads to bad beliefs and opinions.
Unfortunately, these people are Americans, and there's a whole bunch of them. There is no value whatsoever in trying to argue otherwise.
All I'm trying to say is that fascism is decidedly un-American
Unfortunately that seems to be changing. It's almost as if this country learned nothing 80 years ago
Yeah I dunno about all that... Hitler famously got most of his ideas from America. He modeled a lot of Nazi Germany after Jim Crow, and all the eugenics stuff originated in the US and was big in the academic community prior to WW2.
We even had a massive conspiracy by corporations to take down FDR and install a fascist dictator. George W. Bush's grandfather was literally involved.
I suppose you're right that bringing nationality into it probably wasn't the best idea.
This is still unacceptable though
i know you've probably been always taught differently, but this is objectively untrue. this country was literally built on genocide and slavery, it was steeped in misogyny and racism.
America has always been this.
Not to mention the US also always had a nazi problem. There was enough before we joined ww2 to fill up Madison square garden in protest. They just went quiet when we joined the war and it Became unamerican to be a nazi. And that's not even counting the nazi scientists that moved here after the war.
They've just been around waiting for people to forget and become more radical to make their moves

This country was founded on dehumanizing people.

Your right. It's bigger than America. No real human would support something like this.
The US were built on genocide and fueled by slavery.
Most countries were. You can't work backwards. You have to work forward towards the future

Small safety net.
Large authoritarianism.
When they say "small government", what they mean is "consolidated power".
Sounds like thought crime to me.
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.
Allowing your kids to die of measles: go right ahead
Allowing your kids to be happy: straight to jail
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.

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...
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.
Naaawwww :( I wanted to be locked up with fellow enbys. Would be a RIOT in prison.
In reality, I'm guessing they would just lock you away in solitary and forget about you while you absolutely lose your mind.

What can we do for trans people that live in Texas and need to get out?
*cocks gun*
"WHAT DO YOU IDENTIFY AS?"
The question I have is why? Who does this help? What good does it do in the world? All this sort of thing does it hurt people, regardless of whether you agree with their life choices or not.
What religion teaches people to behave this way?
Trumpism.

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.
What will stop them if everyone, literally everyone just said they identify as their gender? And if asked if they are trans all say yes? It's easy solidarity and respect for each other
This is how they intend to disarm trans people.
Fuck this shit
