    this is the weakest and most bland law against child abuse possible. they're not making it illegal for someone to abuse their own children for being trans, they're not making it illegal to out children for the sake of getting them abused, the state is just not actively forcing teachers to be complicit in child abuse. the fact that it's possible to frame it as controversial shows how deeply everyone despises transgender people as well as abused children.

    Ok, so conspiracy theory time: Maybe the rich and powerful know more about how divided the US is than they let the public know. Maybe they know a US civil war is coming and the US will quickly balkanise. Maybe Musk is planning on setting himself up as the king of Texas in the post-US warlord era?
