Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to legally erase transgender people, entitled the “Defining Male and Female Act of 2024.” He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.”
The bill is a long list of terms and definitions, where words like “father” and “girl” are defined with the words “male” and “female.” Those two words are then defined as “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes [sperm or eggs for male or female, respectively] for fertilization.”
This is surely going to lower the price of eggs.
When women are factory farmed baby makers…oh you meant those eggs.
Might as well define the Earth as flat and the Moon as green cheese while he’s at it.
Do these fuckers have literally nothing else to do than wage wars against reality?
Maybe a strategy to distract the masses while they and their
supportershandlers steal the country blind.I think you mis-spelled “Likely”.
I know you misspelled “certainly.”
I kind of feel like all this spawned from some hot trans-girl turning down one of these shitstains and they’ve never let it go.
Setting aside the mind, it is a biological fact that approximately 1 in 1700 people are born with both sexual organs.
They’re supposed to just, die?
According to Republicans, yes
What seems like a rhetorical question to you does not to a fascist.
We need media stepping up the messaging that the Right is infatuated with the genitals of people, especially children. Outside of maybe your Dr. (and/or partner), nobody should be talking about, or caring about your genitals to the degree the Right is in this pervy/pedo crusade of late.
We really need to start saying that these people want their own family members killed. It seems to be the only thing that can get some people to listen
Man, I hope all the trans who said they wouldn’t vote for Harris because she didn’t talk about them are feeling great about the new government that will be in control during the next few years!
Wait, if they are erased, can they then become invisible superheroes?
@floofloof And this guy is an actual MD, as in medical doctor.
Aren’t doctors supposed to take an oath to do no harm? This will cause so much harm.
Technically, no. “Do no harm” was the motto of a 19th century French physician and later made its way into medical textbooks, but it is not found in the Hippocratic oath.
It seems those exact words don’t feature in the oath, but the pledge to do no harm is there, worded slightly differently.
Republicanlawmakers only swear an oath to whomever is paying them the most.Edit: Democrats do it too, just not as obviously and not all of them. Until we get rid of corporate lobbying, we’ll be firmly in an oligarchy.
Dr Oz is a real doctor as well. Unfortunately medical school doesn’t prevent people from being delusional. Or giant assholes for that matter
of course I hate the active reduction of freedom. But may I ask, how important is this? Will trans people be able to continue to survive? Existing and being who you believe you are seems to be the important detail which pisses then off. They can’t do anything but be explicitly rude.
Should someone decide to fight you for being trans, I will fight for + with you.
Writing this comment mildly drunk, I’m sure there’s problems with it, but what if it’s like rain off a window, you look at it and ignore it?
This is a precursor to them trying to sue trans people for “fraud” by having documents with the correct gender marker. Also, the cruelty is the point, and this is in itself cruel.
Cripes. The fuckin struggle just to survive never ends. I don’t get what people’s problem is, and at this point an convinced I never will. Fuck em.
They can also force transgender people in institutional settings (prison, college, military, etc) to be housed with the wrong gender. That can be dangerous.
Yeah for sure. I understand. I wish people could just be.
Well, said senator could find himself and his cohorts erased as well
