    Love that it effectively legalises groping (cis and non-cis) girls, after all, they were just “making sure”. Yuck - The dems and their enablers have already thrown trans people under the bus, along with Palestine and “Woke 1.0” aka police abolition defunding reform

    This is what a blue wave looks like. Back to reminding the libs that the Dems hate trans kids and love killing brown people.

    They won’t listen, as always, because libs don’t live in a world of fact, but it’s important to call them out on their bullshit regardless

      Also I’m at least allowing this one outside of our containment thread because I think it’s highly relevant to a large set of the users on this site

    I’m shocked by how blatantly misogynistic these laws are too. Like obviously transmisogyny is fucked up in a lot of intersectional ways and is AMAZINGLY fucked up on its own terms too but “well women are just weaker than men “””“biologically”“”" so we have to maybe molest school children about it" as a law is like ???

    It’s such a fucking giant step backwards on so many fronts in addition to traumatizing trans children. As if the hatred for trans people is so strong they have to bulldoze whatever else is in the way. Fuckinggggggggggg

    America delenda et.

    And people wonder why I don’t give a fuck about this blue wave. Need I point to these ballot initiatives eroding trans rights? How about these Dems running successful campaigns with transphobia as part of their platform? Am I supposed to be happy to see the writing on the wall for the erosion of trans rights? Guess where they’re going to go once trans rights are suppressed you fucking liberal jackasses. Ain’t gonna stop there. And that’s ignoring how harmful transphobic policies are to women in general. Fucking hells go fuck yourselves you liberal assholes.

    This pitiful excuse for a country has gone fascist and you libs think it’s going to disappear with a blue legislature. You think it’s going to disappear with the removal of Trump. Pandora’s box has been opened. It won’t just go away cause you voted super duper hard. Open your fucking eyes.

    This sucks. I’d like to see a vote breakdown by demographics.

    When I graduated high school there were no openly gay people in my school, and It wasn’t that long ago. Societal attitudes can change, but it can take a stubbornly long time. IME older people have a very hard time wrapping their heads around this issue.

    Proponents of the initiative say it will marginalize transgender students and that it will require all girls across the state to undergo unnecessary medical testing. They also hope that the increased amount of testing for girls in particular will discourage girls from participating in sports

    there’s still 40% of ballots to be counted, but yeah, I doubt theres like 300k-400k more no votes lying around. Even seattle is 43 - 57 no, wtf. I know its a lib fantasy to pretend every urbanite is woke, but I was expecting like 30-70 or something.

      i think the consent manufacturies put in their largest grains on trans hate because literally everything else was hitting pocketbooks (also dems threw trans people under the bus and didn’t organize against these measures)

    Apparently Colorado and Arizona passed a similar bill. Dems clearly don’t care about trans lives

      I’m all for backing the trans’s :wakanda-arms: , but letting a handful of kids live a normal life is where I draw the line 😡. Time to inspect every kid’s genitals, for fairness, of course.

      Oh btw they’ll all get participation trophies at the end of the season.
