Republicans are drunk with power. What a stupid fucking idea. There’s no chance of banning porn. Then they wouldn’t be able to jerk to Trans women and feel shame after.
Trans women are hot, in case that reads as though the shame is correct. It’s not.
I read somewhere that Texas is trying (as in someone in the legislature) to make transgender people legally non-existent. Apparently the same shit I read is being attempted in the UK.
yes, the TX law is to declare trans people as committing the crime of “gender identity fraud”

That wasn’t what I read. The specific words were “legally non-existent” as in they don’t exist. It could be gender fraud is what was implied but not how it was explained.
ah, yes - that one basically doesn’t allow the state to recognize anything but assigned sex at birth (or some other reality-denying fabricated definition of “biological sex”), thereby eliminating trans identity - this is a form of genocide, called social death. Other states already have passed laws like this:

Looks like the bill passed the house in TX (waiting to see what the Senate votes):

Yikes! I didn’t realize it would be considered genocide.
it’s still debated whether the anti-trans movement in the US has genocide as a goal, but I think it’s a fair characterization since the movement has explicitly stated their goal is “the eradication of [trans people] from public life”:

since the goal is total elimination, it makes it a candidate for genocide more than other kinds of oppression, e.g. the enslavement and oppression of Africans in the US (another case some have argued as being a genocide).
the Lemkin Institute is one of the organizations arguing the anti-trans movement is genocidal:

either way, methods like legally removing a concept of a group is a method of genocide used in the past, which is why I bring it up.
in particular it’s an example of social death:

Logically, that means they wont have to pay taxes and can’t be charged with murder. But we know the law wouldn’t be applied logically.
