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.
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.
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

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!
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.
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?”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…
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
