The genocide continues. And no one cares. I’m so tired of waking up every day to some new bullshit where people like me are either getting legislated out of existence or blood libeled and bullied to death.

Legit how are we supposed to fight back against this when we have almost no allies?

Right? I don’t know what else to do but shrug, nervously laugh, and wait for it to be the whole country.

It sucks so much. I’m lucky enough to live in a blue state but I’m not sure for how much longer that’ll protect me. Stay safe!

The drag obsession is so weird. It’s popular in my heavily evangelical town as some kind of “freak show” that people pay to laugh at. Not exactly the best way to view it, but nobody’s trying to ban it outright.

It’s a way to make trans people illegal without acknowledging that they’re actually trans people. It’s not “You’re a woman and we’re making you illegal”. It’s “You’re a man wearing womans clothes and we’re making you illegal”. Cause, you know, they’re fucking Nazis.

It still baffles me just how bad parts of the US are with this stuff. I thought we were bad with our Evangelical government but the US somehow has us beat on that front

I love to be a joyless busybody who gets violently upset about anyone who looks or acts different than me and demanding the state make it illegal to not be as miserable as me

Pretty telling they didn’t share the text of the law. This seems impossible to write in a way that doesn’t make a bunch of other unintended stuff illegal.

I’m torn between incredulity at how are they even supposed to enforce this when I could buy jeans and a hoodie from the men’s department, go sing karaoke in a bar, and technically be in violation of the law, and the bitter realization that the law will only be applied on a case by case basis and nobody would care about my “transgression” because they’d just see a lady in a hoodie and jeans. It might be interesting to point out the stupidity and hypocrisy, but that’s not going to help visibly trans people in their daily lives. I just don’t know what to say. This is bad.

Laws like this aren’t about the language. They’re about giving cops such broad latitude that they can harass anyone for pretty much any reason.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).
