Hold up. Wait a minute. I thought that law was about keeping children safe from sexual stuff in public. Who could have possibly thought that they would conflate drag performances with sexually deviant acts, that must be outlawed in order to protect children. That is absolutely not what the law was intended for, right?
Bringing back obscenity laws surely won’t be used to criminalize wearing clothes that do not align with someone’s assigned sex at birth, right? Putting the now illegal trans people in prisons that correspond to a persons sex assigned at birth is not a threat to their safety, right? I thought it was about protecting women?? Stopping their access to hormone therapy, mental health services, and proper clothing while imprisoned surely is not a punishment for being an illegal person, right?
Banning trans health care for minors is only about protecting children as well, right? Surely they will not use that as a basis to prohibit trans health care for all trans people, right?
There’s no way any of this could be about erasing, and eventually cleansing, a minority population, right?
They already technically revoked our drivers licenses I think? No idea - if I randomly stop posting I’m probably dead in OK County for “fraud.” (Don’t remember if it’s 7 or 8 deaths so far this year.)
Well, if they did revoke your ability to have a license in OK with the proper gender marker on it, it’s to protect children.
Everyone knows my hairy bearded ass would make everyone’s 11 year old daughter feel totally safe in the women’s restroom.
It was actually a crime for me to piss in the men’s restroom for my last couple years teaching. Misdemeanor - they could have docked my schools funding by 10%.
I’m a criminal mastermind, I commit so many crimes just by breathing now.
