The authors of bills like this are sick fucks! Cruel and depraved! Red states are trying to outdo each other in evilness while they push to destroy and legally murder people who aren't like them.

SC wants to murder females for receiving abortion care. They are unhinged lunatics.

Not even playing coy, just straight-up calling it the “Civil Rights Removal Act”. Right in the cool zone.

Alt Text: A screenshot of a post from One Iowa Action. It reads, 'Today, February 20th 2025, the lowa House released the lowa Civil Rights Removal Act (HSB242), a breathtakingly cruel piece of legislation aimed at making life harder for transgender lowans in nearly every aspect of the law.

This bill is a combination of nearly every previous anti-trans effort introduced in the lowa legislature for the last several years.

Among its components are a full-scale removal of transgender lowans' civil rights protections, restroom restrictions, birth certificate restrictions, a legal redefinition of sex that erases trans people from existence, and more.

If I may be technical, and see my previous coverage on the subject, that's One Iowa's name for it. That is NOT in the official text of the bill. I know I'm being pedantic on an absolutely horrendous bill, but the representative didn't call it that.

I have family in Iowa, and all but one are Republicans. If this passes they'll probably try to coax me to visit, saying "Come on, you know they don't mean you, right?"

I don't know how to make them see that laws like this hit "the good ones" too, and "the bad ones" are just as worthy of protection.

idk. help out trans people if you can right now. buy them a cup of coffee or something.

just about anything helps right now

And -- I cannot emphasize this enough -- telling them "it's ok, things are going to be ok, they aren't going to do [x]" is NOT helping. Just -- if you aren't trans, say "I'm so sorry" and go from there.

I should have expected more attacks at the state level as Trump's executive orders get slapped down in federal court. My own home state (NH) is currently making a second attempt at a bathroom bill, after the first one was vetoed by the previous governor.
