The question I have is why? Who does this help? What good does it do in the world? All this sort of thing does it hurt people, regardless of whether you agree with their life choices or not.
What religion teaches people to behave this way?

All republican talking points are grievance politics scapegoated onto undesirables. Any legitimate issue is the fault of immigrants, trans people, gay people, etc. Therefore when trump hurts these people, he is fixing the problem.
Now, you'll notice that the average republican suffers more under republican rule, but they don't notice because people that make them feel icky are getting shafted harder and that's the important part.
Trumpism.
What will stop them if everyone, literally everyone just said they identify as their gender? And if asked if they are trans all say yes? It's easy solidarity and respect for each other
This is how they intend to disarm trans people.
Allowing your kids to die of measles: go right ahead
Allowing your kids to be happy: straight to jail
Given they don’t understand what pronouns are, I’m pretty sure there’s recursion in this bill and a future where all Texans have to send themselves to jail. Silver linings.
Oh no
Also this isn't a boring dystopia thing, it's the regular kind
This shit hasn't been boring for a long time. Unfortunately.
Fuck this shit

When they say "small government", what they mean is "consolidated power".
Small safety net.
Large authoritarianism.
small enough to inject into your blood!
nanogovernment! utility clouds of government! grey government goo!
Texas has already been making lists of trans people.
Fun fact - “detransition activist” Chloe Cole (a seriously mentally ill woman who detransitioned after several bad LSD trips as a teenager, who’s mostly being puppeted around by Do No Harm, an extremely shady anti trans organization) - well, her lawyers want data on all trans people and their care covered by Kaiser.
I think Vanderbilt also outed a bunch of its trans patients to several state’s attorney generals.
HIPPA is toothless right now.
Love how they can't mind their own business. Even if you think something is weird as long as it doesn't harm you leave them alone.
To be perfectly honest, I think furries are kinda weird. But hey, they're just doing their thing. Why would I care? Be free, my furry friends.
I have trans friends in the US. This bill probably won't pass, but that doesn't mean more will come. They're already putting immigrants in concentration camps. So it looks like the gays and trans people are next. Probably not long before dissidents are after that.
They are looking for any excuse to go after AOC. They are foaming at the mouth to get anyone who speaks against them already
I have a trans sister with a trans wife, I keep trying to get them to move back up to Canada. They're ok where they are right now. But how long will that last?
I really don't understand how any American trans people with dual citizenship to a friendly (to trans people) aren't using it.
Well shit, one of my relatives, and a few friends may be in trouble soon...
Tbf, this bill won't pass. Still wild and horrifying that we live in an environment in which it would be proposed.
Although, give it a couple years to come back around, and maybe it will at this rate :/.
Yeah, I didn't mean this bill would pass but... the sentiment makes it more dangerous for some people I care about.
The politicians push this shit because they think they have the support of the people, at least in the form of votes.
I'm not so worried about the government. Not much most of us can do if the military turns against the people. I'm worried about bigoted neighbors feeling empowered.
*cocks gun*
"WHAT DO YOU IDENTIFY AS?"
As long as children keep dying from measles, this is a wonderful distraction!
The slow removal of my basic human rights and criminalization of my very existence feels like a little more than just a distraction. I'm not upset at you I just really hate these things that in fact are greatly affecting my mental health and overall well-being. I'm afraid to even leave my house presenting as my true self.

Easy loophole: Just identify as your gender. Trans women are just women now. Trans men are just men now.
Nah, Trump made Women and Men non existent. Everyone who goes by Mr. or Ms. needs to go to jail and become slave labor. Sorry mate, best we can do

These people are some of the shittiest people in the US. It boggles my mind attacking people who do NOTHING to them except exist
My theory is that anyone who's bothered by gay/trans/etc people is a closeted something and doesn't want to be reminded of their own insecurities.
I do think that's part of it, though I wouldn't even necessarily call it closeted. A lot of very vocal transphobes are uncomfortable with finding some of us attractive.
Here we must also acknowledge the reality that one of the consequences of centuries of forcing trans people into the margins of society is a long history of trans people resorting to professions of desperation, one of which that's become particularly associated with trans women being prostitution.
That has led to many people seeing trans woman as inherently sexualized. Add in how people and society interact. And this leads to our very existence being seen as sexually explicit. And this can lead even some people who have no gender or sexuality repression going on and have never found themselves attracted to us seeing us that way.
How isn’t this just a way of blaming transphobia on trans people, or homophobia on (closeted) gay people?

A whole gay jail? Sign me up!
nope, a mostly straight jail. they won't put us together. specifically, trans women like me are sent to men's prison and assigned to be the prison wives of violent inmates to pacify them and as a "reward" for good behavior. it's called v-coding.
In reality, I'm guessing they would just lock you away in solitary and forget about you while you absolutely lose your mind.
That sounds worse than jail. That sounds like torture. And now a punishment for a crimeless crime...
Yep. But America has long decided prison rape is a joke and part of being in prison.
And when you don't get v coded you often get solitary confinement, which is also torture.
Which is also unconstitutional, not that anyone should expect the actual laws of this country to be enforceable on anyone other than plebes and the vulnerable.

People who support this aren't American anyway. Real Americans believe in human rights

Sounds like thought crime to me.
What can we do for trans people that live in Texas and need to get out?
