Small safety net.
Large authoritarianism.
small enough to inject into your blood!
nanogovernment! utility clouds of government! grey government goo!
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.
*cocks gun*
"WHAT DO YOU IDENTIFY AS?"
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.
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?
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...
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.
I wonder if the most hateful are their women...

What can we do for trans people that live in Texas and need to get out?
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.
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

Sounds like thought crime to me.
People who support this aren't American anyway. Real Americans believe in human rights
Who upvotes this no true Scotsman bullshit?
Your right. It's bigger than America. No real human would support something like this.
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
This country was founded on dehumanizing people.
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
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
That'd make sense. This country operates off indoctrination after all.
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
