Freedom to practice your religion has a historical context and precedence under the First Amendment. Gender identity has none. Maybe wait around a couple hundred years to see if society changes and accepts what some would have historically considered deviancy and delusion.
What will she do if one of her children or grandchildren, nieces or nephews is BORN gender fluid? 10% of any population are affected. Blame the Bible for the bigotry she promotes
Hey, I went to an osteopath for back relief. The session before me was an exorcism on a young person who probably was either gay or suffered from a psychiatric disorder. I never went back. Hopefully those waiting with me did the same

I think what you mean is THIS BILL doesn’t do anything specific, but it does enable other bills to now target the previously protected characteristics.
They are not. They just want money and power and they get that doing this because their bigoted fanbase love it even if many have never ever even seen a queer person irl
What a bout a bull against planned obsolescence? What about a bill about regulating big pharma? Child marriage? Tax evasion for large conglomerates? Waste and climate change? No, the pressing issue is gender identity which has zero threat or risk to anything.
Not now unfortunately and this is an incredible thing to say we have bigger problems anybody that stayed in the military after this I can't understand it we are now siding with an authoritarian dictator who invaded a sovereign country
You'd think old Pickled-Puss could at least crack a smile at finally getting to deprive people she hates of their fundamental and constitutional rights....
So many officials having to walk around looking behind their backs constantly for someone that seeks justice and or revenge is a life I wouldn’t want a part of. That’s the life of a bigot I guess.

Why are magats so afraid of people who clearly like to express themselves as they are?
Could it be because magats are afraid to confront their own demons so they project them onto others?
“We all agree that every Iowan, without exception, deserves respect and dignity,” she said. “What this bill does accomplish is to strengthen protections for women and girls, and I believe that it is the right thing to do.”
Saying this while removing civil rights is FUCKING VILE.
We need to escalate. It's difficult though, as trans people are few in number compared to almost any other group the GOP is attacking. We're between 0.3% and 1% of the population.
It comes down to getting 2nd degree allies to show up. That's easier with larger issues that affect more people.
Next up, Kim Reynolds signs women's rights away and her disgruntled ex-husband immediately siezes all assets, properties and is now the new governor of Iowa.
Farmers looking around to see if there's someone to harass and realizing they have never once interacted with a trans person let alone suffered anything beyond seeing preferred pronouns once on social media.

They're doing this shit because they're fascist patriarchalists who hate anyone who does not conform to their ideology of women as breeding machines.

LGBTQ people were not included because when the concentration camps were liberated, we were moved directly into prisons by the liberators.

Every thing they say is a lie.
