A giant step backwards

[Trinity]

This just freaking makes my blood boil.

Trigger warning.  Making it illegal to give puberty blockers to kids under 18 in florida by punishing the doctors that do with felony charges.

This is extreme abuse for us, for them, this is the  fucking inquisition.

Republicans are introducing similar bills all over the country.

It's a scorched earth do or die for them to try and regain voters they have lost over the last three years.
They aren't likely to be gaining votes by making life hard on americans, and it certainly isn't making the country great again.
The very few who think that making life miserable for LGBTQ will stop it are some of the stupidest people in the entire world, let alone the country.
Might as well bring back slavery and go back to calling minorities the slang versions of them, as if by making life hard on them is going to win them the dream ticket to voters electing them again.
When it all comes right down to it, they will make shit as miserable for everyone as they can because not only are they going to lose, but they will be facing that they are losers and always have been.
If it wasn't for the uneducated people in the country, republicans would have died off a long time ago or at the least changed their agenda to one that people with brains might like.
There is a state legislator in TN who was trying to pass a bill banning college education because that was how liberals were getting ahead of them.
If it wasn't for college education he says, they wouldn't be having the problems with liberals like they have, the fucking loser of all losers and idiots says as if he actually knows something... TN they are famous of a sort for whiskey, nothing much else.

I hope a swath of conservatives lose their seats this year? I can't stand how they legislate such deep harm.

3 hours ago. Bill will not be voted on.

Too close of a shot for comfort.

It's kinda like that yahoo in MT, a state senator, he claims that socialists can be imprisoned and even shot because the constitution says so, yet he can't tell you where in the constitution it says this and his double down is a mixture of pure bullshit and stupidity.
His track record of claiming idiotic and stupid as all hell shit shit is well known in the state I guess, he got elected by cheating big time with the campaign funding to get him elected, so you can guess he's a republican and you'd be right.

The guy that wanted to imprison doctors for treating trans kids said that 80% of trans youth outgrow dysphoria.

I freaking doubt that.

Dysphoria, if you have it, never gets less, it only gets worse if untreated.

Truth, or fiction- a Susan's saying there, and I don't trust it.

But regardless, there is backlash now, but its weak.

Even if its true abvout the 80%, what about the other 20% then, and what he thinks is a statistic is likely what he thinks he knows is crossdressing, and you don't outgrow it, you learn to hide it better.
But even if he thinks that 80% outgrow it, why would he then imprison the Dr? It doesn't make sense no matter how you slice and dice, and equal rights is becoming a big thing again.
Republicans are trying to get people on their side and they think that americans are like how they think, but they are in a minority on virtually everything they say and do, if dems done like it then they are in a minority.
That guy is pandering to people, he's trying to make it look like Drs are mistreating kids when he isn't a Dr and I doubt he has actual proof about 80%, thats like those few republicans who claim they have like gaydar because they can always tell who is gay, and some have said the same about trans.
They might think they do, but they can't tell the ones they don't realize and thats the thing, LGBTQ are everywhere, they can be anyones neighbor and very few fit the old stereotypes at all, those came from the fifties and before.
The older people are the more concerned they are about LGBTQ, but they aren't that concerned except for the trump supporter types.
And thats a minority and they are shrinking.
It's the millennials who are the least likely to have anything to say about trans or any of it, they juist don't care except in those little groups of trump supporters who's minds are as bad as the old people around them, and they exist, but they are a real real minority.
Republicans have been trying to do damage as much as possible for as long as I can remember, and they just don't get that it isn't a big issue for real people, its a minor issue for even their supporters, this isn't something this guy can brag about that he did or tried,, nobody cares about people like him.

And that isn't just a Susans saying, thats backed up by psychologists across the country, its those few quacks that this inbreed is spouting if he even is.
The stats show that there are way more of LGBTQ people than people think there are, its like the guy spouting off in a bar and the big burly guy next to him has a LGBTQ kid, or he is himself.
None of these people who spout off shit have a clue as to the number right in their neighborhood, remember that asshole prime minister of Iran who came here and said there aren't any gay or trans in his country?
Since then they have relaxed the laws and you can get the operation if you are trans there, its legal, and they at least stopped executing people for being gay, but all over their news is the talk about the rights of LGBTQ, because they are everywhere there.
It isn't just a thing in this country and you can't just pick out the people you personally don't like and make laws that ruin their lives, and this ebtire anti LGBTQ thing going on is doing just that and it isn't about the people, its about the person making the laws or trying to.
