Mirroring the anti-gay movement of the 1970s, Kentucky Republicans are quietly moving to ban trans people from teaching while forcing doctors to consider being trans a mental disorder.

Freedom of expression where? Not Kentucky apparently.

Nothing says "Liberty and justice for all" like singling out minorities for specific restrictive legislation.

What a hypocritical fascist shithole.

quietly

Clearly not

KY is becoming more southern by the week

Does that mean you can call into work trans?

Somebody should introduce legislation banning Fried Chicken in retaliation.

[-] bizarroland@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

California should make Kentucky Fried Chicken post that "this product has been found to contain a trace element of fascism" on every box they sell in the state.

while forcing doctors to consider being trans a mental disorder.

Doesn't insurance already require that? At least my papers have the little "F64" as part of the billing code since they're using the ICD codes instead or the DSM...

[-] 4am@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 month ago

ICD-10 Diagnosis codes are a standard and required part of medical claim billing. F64.0 is “transgenderism in adults”; and it shouldn’t imply a “disorder” unless your insurer hasn’t updated the description since like 2016

So what can we do to kentucky? Do they still make anything there?

What are good stereotypes we can put forward¿

[-] webp@mander.xyz 11 points 1 month ago

Bourbon and horse breeding are the only things that come to mind.

[-] angryattherighthhings@quokk.au 3 points 1 month ago

Kill a horse today!

And steal or wreck a stores supply of kentucky garbagewhiskey!

[-] Skanky@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

KY resident here.

Bourbon is about the only good thing coming outta here - unless you're a connoisseur of meth.

@Teknevra I love how there are bigger fish to fry in Kentucky yet this is apparently a pressing issue.
