    how the fuck can they criminalize leaving? You don't fuckin live there no more, what fucking jurisdiction do you have?

    hell, how can they legally prove your motive for leaving as well? it's fucking idaho, just say you left for some job opportunity somewhere else or something

      This provision will likely be impossible to enforce.

        It doesn't have to be enforced enforced in order to harass people or drown them in court bullshit.

        All it takes is one report from a shitty transphobic relative and you can be in jail with your kids kidnapped in to state custody.

          Not if you're out of state though.

          Regardless I am obviously not defending this law, I am hopeful that the law will fail to accomplish it's heinous goals.

      everything about this is flat-out unconstitutional. as with texas (both the trans bill and the abortion bill), they will not be able to enforce this yet, but just as with texas, the purpose of this is to get their base riled up and propagandized, get them into goose-stepping mode, teach them to hate and to snitch on their neighbors until they do not need laws anymore to persecute trans people. the purpose of these laws isn't to hold up in a court, the purpose is to normalize full, mask-off fascism, make propagandized hogs associate trans people with "child abuse" and make them think they're in the right when they go out and murder us. they're using us in the same way the nsdap used people with disabilities - the first minority to hone their tools of persecution on before they go for all-out genocide.

      Because they can do whatever they want, because the state has a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. They've got cops. Cops have guns. They'll torture, imprison, or kill you if you don't comply.
