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".

[–] Viskio_Neta_Kafo@lemm.ee 18 points 20 hours ago

Small safety net.

Large authoritarianism.

small enough to inject into your blood!

nanogovernment! utility clouds of government! grey government goo!

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Well shit, one of my relatives, and a few friends may be in trouble soon...

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

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 :/.

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 4 hours ago

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.

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.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

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.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 21 points 22 hours ago

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.

"WHAT DO YOU IDENTIFY AS?"

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] bluegreenwookie 2 points 10 hours ago

They are looking for any excuse to go after AOC. They are foaming at the mouth to get anyone who speaks against them already

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 9 points 22 hours ago

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?

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A whole gay jail? Sign me up!

[–] uuldika@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

In reality, I'm guessing they would just lock you away in solitary and forget about you while you absolutely lose your mind.

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

That sounds worse than jail. That sounds like torture. And now a punishment for a crimeless crime...

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 6 points 21 hours ago

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.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Naaawwww :( I wanted to be locked up with fellow enbys. Would be a RIOT in prison.

As long as children keep dying from measles, this is a wonderful distraction!

[–] Cupcake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 68 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MoonlightFox@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 90 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Easy loophole: Just identify as your gender. Trans women are just women now. Trans men are just men now.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Identify as embryo or slave, no other choice in the free world

These people are some of the shittiest people in the US. It boggles my mind attacking people who do NOTHING to them except exist

[–] segabased@lemmy.zip 4 points 20 hours ago

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.

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

[–] boreengreen@lemm.ee 31 points 1 day ago

Sounds like thought crime to me.

[–] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (24 children)

People who support this aren't American anyway. Real Americans believe in human rights
