    […] Following a rapidfire vote in both the House and the Senate, the bill passed, and is now on its way to the Governor’s desk.

    It was rushed through the legislature with such speed and urgency that it was able to sidestep almost all public input on key provisions of the bill; among other things, there simply wasn’t time to show up.

    Interestingly, however, an out-of-state anti-trans activist with groups like Do No Harm and the Alliance Defending Freedom—both Southern Poverty Law Center-designated hate/extremist groups—was on the scene for the vote, which he gloated about on social media.

        Real life cis people harassing women in bathrooms to prevent a made up epidemic of trans people harassing women in bathrooms.

          yeah, actually … and it’s sometimes actual men who go into the women’s restrooms to police women … so, double irony there - the transphobes are responsible for bringing men into women’s spaces

        Which is by design.

        These people hate women, all women. They want to punish women for being the “wrong kind” of woman. Too tall, too buff, too smart, short hair, no makeup, too fat, too skinny, too tan, etc

        They hate trans women specifically because we prove the lie that is what the patriarch is built on, as well as how insecure they are when they do find us attractive, but they are more than happy to use the excuse to attack cis women as well.

        It’s why they always use “what” and not “who” when trying to do a gotcha about trans people. They don’t see women as people, and they already have a definition in mind: “Thing I want to fuck”. These people regularly revoke womanhood from any woman that doesn’t appeal to the male gaze.

    If they’re going to do that, then shouldn’t they, for consistency, also do religious changes, too?

    Like how Sharia does, isn’t there some Christian equivalent, among their “Christianity”??


    The root-guru of the Christians DIDN’T either do, or advocate, any harm to anybody who was gay or other, in their bible, & given just how consistently rabid their bible is about such people … that absence is conspicuous.

    These fake-Christians, with their machiavellianism, are fooling nobody.

    IF you need machiavellianism to get a law enacted, THEN you aren’t “representing” your constitutuents.

    IF you are enacting policies that your “Christ” NEVER advocated-for, THEN … you are pushing your-own religion, and NOT his.

    Nothing has changed, iow.

    Exactly as Rev identifies “those who call themselves Jews, but are not”, … “those who call themselves Christian, but are not” is our-day’s equivalent: SAME logic, only the circumstance changed.

    ( don’t mistake me: ALL religions get the same treatment: there are fake Jews, fake Christians, fake Muslims, fake Hindus, fake Buddhists, fake Atheists ( fundamentalist-atheists who pretend logic & objectivity, but it’s all ideology wearing “scientific” “makeup” ), etc.

    There are NO traditions on this planet which somehow have made themselves “pure” or “holy”.

    Purification has to begin within oneself, & that takes decades, IF it can be accomplished within a single-life/incarnation.

    Everybody’s got the timescale wrong, for evolving purity: it isn’t within-a-single-life, it is within-a-single-soul-as-it-gets-caught-in-many-many-lives.

    Same as people “growing up” within a decade or 2: that’s a joke.

    Give 3-decades to experiencing stuff,

    give 3-decades to pushing-out wrong-meanings,

    & then, at around 60-ish years old, MAYBE you’ve sorted your own meaning out enough, to be dismantling this-world’s disinformation & idiocy with enough balance to be “grown up”.

    Hollywood, with its ignorance-is-holy-because-it-shows-youth religion is … successful, in brainwashing entire-generations, but … sigh … ah, of course: since nothing can compete against mainstream propaganda, AND nobody bothers showing young people that there is real value in outgrowing worldviews, outgrowing cultures, outgrowing “religions”, outgrowing mind-regimes ( which is all that such things are ) … why would anybody value it?

    Anyways, now’s perfect: AI has automated inauthenticity, & money’s pushing for inauthenticity to completely-displace reality, & all these highjackings of law, at every level, are all part of the ideology-will-eradicate-rationality takeover that our whole species is doing, everywhere, right?

    The Great Filter.

    Either fight-for objectivity & correct-reasoning, & correct legislative-process & correct-legislation, XOR push, like these machiavellians for their ideological-dominion, & hope that accountability never touches you, right?

    This world may be a lost-cause. )
