It passed their state senate 26-5. It has to go back to the house for final approval, which basically feels inevitable.

Fuck this shit ass country.

    :so-true: i'm vooting to keep "boys" out of the girls bathroom

    why are there trans boys in the girls bathroom :wojak-nooo:

    School cops checking kids' dicks to make sure they piss in the right toilets

    Anyway, adventurism is bad but god damn do I see the appeal.

      not even joking my highschool growing up took all the bathroom stall doors off and had super short walls that everyone could see you shitting to 'curb drug abuse' but i think the real reason is pedophilia cause the principal would regularly use the same bathrooms

      not even surprised if these same schools do this shit too

          i legit had an infection from holding in my pee too regularly cause of the policy (and the fact that i was trans and hated bathrooms in general too)

        I sometimes wonder if pedophilia is a feature of capitalism or humans just suck lol

          Humans, it's been an open secret pretty much all of human history. Capitalism simply adds horrifying new dimensions.

      There's going to be some startup that makes some dick detection AI and they'll put camera in every toilet.

      This state can't last for long, at some point a few transmen are gonna get national coverage for utterly dominating women's sports or how absurd they look walking into a women's bathroom.

    Singleton asked the sponsor of the amendment, Sen. Shay Shelnutt, R-Trussville, who is also sponsoring a bill that would criminalize gender-affirming care for children, if it’s allowed for “little Johnny” to ask a teacher if he’s a boy or a girl.

    “Little Johnny, you’re a boy,” Shelnutt responded.

    “You just answered the question based on gender,” Singleton responded.

    No, educating on cishet supremacy is not gendered instruction, why do you ask?

    Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding on what's for dinner. Free speech is wolves sharing their favorite lamb recipes.

      The north never would have industrialized without southern cotton. The south is as much a part of the US as the north, and the sooner we come to terms with that as a society the sooner we'll turn secessionist liberals into anarchists.

        Oh don't get me wrong, I don't mean to make excuses for the North. Hell, the PNW is full of neo-nazis.

        But what I mean is that I was anticipating this because in southern politics its a no contest with democrats not even being relevant.

    My heart breaks for these kids. My heart breaks for all the trans folks just trying to live as themselves and being beaten down for it. Every day it seems to get worse.
    Stand up for your trans friends, even when they're not around. It's getting really bad out there.
    Also to all my trans comrades who might read this: you matter, and deserve support and care. You are not alone in the world, no matter how much the bigots out there try to insist you are. You have a place in the world as yourself, and deserve to be the person you really are. :trans-heart:

    Why is the idea of gender and sex being different so hard to grasp?

      The nation demands a blood sacrifice, and if you have a womb it demands you be an incubator of the next generation of soldiers and incubators.

      Not by the state , but its free game for teachers and school staff to harass transgender kids without the law coming. These are people who are authority figures going to give the transgender kid trauma

      The point is to make it so teachers live in fear of being sued by parents, and so trans kids can be harassed even more freely. Actual legal settlements are rare, it's the implication.

    I hate transphobes so much it's unreal. Solidarity for the trans people who will suffer because of this
