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.”
I personally didn’t shut down progressives. When I say ideal world I’m just stating my preference. As in I’d really like to see a progressive party. Non the other way around.
Tell us again how Allred and Gonzalez were running for city council and dogcatcher.
I already called them despicable. Do you want me to suck your dick too? I’m pretty done with the Dems too. I dgaf any more
After trying to pretend that they were running in backwater races of no consequence.
So what
So the cowardly betrayal of trans people exists at a higher level in the party than your lies indicate.
You seem to be under the false impression that I am here to defend the Democratic party. Let me dispel any notion of that: I am not. Two things can be true at the same time: the democrats can suck and the Republicans want to drag us to hell. I dont know what the answer is tbh. My goal is to minimize harm in a FPTP system. I only have so many options in front of me. Not participating is also a moral choice, but a moral choice that carries serious consequences. It doesn’t matter anyway. Democracy is way past us at this point if the next four years are what I expect.
Lying to minimize the betrayal of trans people does point in that direction, yes.
Yea man. You got me. Hoooollyyyy shiiiiiitttt.
