Huh…fucking mike johnson just said, “The new reality is, less government, more efficiency.” Funny how that never refers to the bodily autonomy of anyone who’s not a POS republican. (I know this clip isn’t specifically about gender affirming care.) https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lj4u6lltbd2r
Today in my state of Iowa they stripped transgender individuals of their civil rights. Huge protests all week. Disgusting. I’m

Rhetorical question, why does this administration/minions try to ram their "one-size fits all" version of government down our throats when America is NOT a "one-size fits all" nation?

There’s just no way they can force detransitioning. Most trans people will kill themselves before they detransition. There are trans people who cannot produce their own hormones even bc of irreversible surgeries what about that? These people are so fucking reckless.
Yea. I'm a Texan who's had an orchiectomy, and the bill doesn't seem to have any exceptions for people like me. If I didn't inject homebrew estrogen, it'd just be osteoporosis time I guess. I'd rather die than detransition a decade in.
Also, fire the government and replace everyone with AI.
It’s like the orange guy is a demented grandpa and Elmo is the favorite grandson who just asks for more and more ridiculous things because grandpa won’t say no.
With abortion, measles and now this,Texas just passed Florida and is currently in the lead as the most bigoted, backward state in the Union.They're gonna need many more Jasmine Crocketts to right themselves.
And that's where it's disgusting. In all these MAGA cases, the lesson isn't ours to learn, but dammit if we've got to suffer, I'm going to be gleeful when they have to as well.
This is a horrible bill, bit it doesn’t do what you’re suggesting. Nowhere does it prohibit giving estrogen to cis women, at least not that I saw (if I’m wrong, please cite the relevant text). We need to avoid inflammatory fearmongering and focus on the very real harm this bill will cause.
It specifically bans the medication and procedures for the purpose of treating gender dysphoria. This will literally ONLY affect trans people. This his how they've worded every single trans care ban in the nation so far.
So it's fine to attack cops and obstruct the transfer of power. The real problem are transgender people? Who do they trespass against. Republicans are ridiculous
And there it is. No need to hide behind the fake excuse of “safety concerns for vulnerable kids” anymore, now its just fine to openly express contempt for transgender persons.
But of course they have, f*ing jerks. Their intention, however much they denied it before, has always been to ban anything related to transgender care. Republicans are on their game when trying to suppress the rights of others. They are nothing but control freaks acting out their insecurities.
This is what they focus on? Texas is bottom rung on education & the state is ranked third-worst in America when it comes to health care access:
Forbes Advisor.Oct 12, 2024 which translates into one of the highest rates of infant and maternal mortality- why would anyone live there?
The Texas legislature meets for about 4 months once every 2 years. They have thousands of bills & most die in committee. I don’t think they’re going to open the can of worms of defining gender affirming care
My (adult) daughter has PCOS which causes erratic menstrual cycles due to imbalances in her hormones. She requires hormone treatment to maintain a normal cycle. This is gender affirming care. Thank the goddesses she doesn’t live in Texas.
Not surprised by this at all. When they passed the ban on minors they never demonstrated or even tried to demonstrate that it was something a minor later regretted. The vibe I got was they just found the idea of someone doing it repulsive and they didn't want them in the schools.
Can somebody please explain why they are so endlessly focused on the transgender/gender affirming care? Nothing more to focus on? I really don’t get it.
Ok, so now ADULTS, do not get to decide. In my opinion, if trans people are the target, this should also include butt lifts, breast implants, hair implants, testoterone treatment, ED treatment, botox and any other implant to make you look more feminine or perform more masculine.
What gives them the right to dictate medical decisions for Americans? Especially with no medical knowledge. We already know they don't care about the rights of free Americans... They want to force everyone to live their religious doctrine and expand their mindless sheeple voter base.
What about
-Men suffering from Low T?
-Menopause treatments?
-Breast reduction or enhancement surgeries? (Maralogo women won’t like this one)
-musk’s penis implants
-trumps hair plugs
-Any other plastic surgery
Texas has always been a shithole. Florida is the dirty business the back states the grundle and Texas, the shithole. I lived there for 6 months. Misongyny everywhere from old white men. Besides Oklahoma, Texas takes the cake as my least favorite hell hole state.
Texas would rather you left with emotional problems than to try and set things right for you. It figures... They already do not care about kids or women. Kids catch disease and die, women miscarry and die from lack of appropriate medical care but, hey, Texas does not care. Only old men count there.
Small hope that this is coming from a freshman and has no joiners on it. Mostly seems like signaling to the more experienced Republicans like a pick-me in a bar.
I begged, pleaded, cried, and screamed since 2016 for people to get the fuck out of the south. I knew something bad was coming and wasn’t sure what it was. IF YOU CAN GET OUT, PLEASE DO IT NOW.
This is such fucking predictable. Texas? Big surprise. But it’s infuriating. Taking bodily autonomy away from the people. All people! (Except men’s dick pills)
I say let all the nasty mean folks concentrate themselves in a handful of states and let them hate-legislate themselves to death. It ain't fair or right that nice folks gotta pick up and leave but the slaveowners will never let go of their belief that only white men have value.
I will never understand their feelings to endlessly involve themselves in other people's lives. Is it really just that they're so miserable that they want everyone else to be as well? Or are they truly just malignant to the core? "Don't tread on me while I tread on everyone else."
They follow "Christian" rules. My cousin stopped being friends with her lifelong friend when she came out. She cast her aside for years, as an adult, until her pastor changed and she was told it was ok to be her friend. They'll believe anything if it makes them "feel" like hell isn't an option.
If they read the book they'd know they've been doomed to hell since birth, guaranteed the fabrics used to clothe and swaddle them are not all the same material. I know I don't think like they do, it just seems a waste of energy to give a shit who identifies or loves something other than what you do.
That's another thing, if they believe in pseudoscience that's fine, putting your own life at risk does not mean everyone else does the fucking same thing. It all just sounds like "some kid likes eating boogers, so now our only diet is boogers."
Like they have to do everything they can to get into people’s personal lives & regulate them? What is wrong with Texas? How about making people’s lives better & worry about how they are killing unvaccinated children? Bastards!
This crap is not going to stop at trans individuals, nor will it be limited to just happening in Texas. People need to really take a moment to grasp this….
Why can’t these assholes just leave people alone to live their lives? They are destroying lives for nothing more than political theater. It’s disgusting and just so very wrong.
What a complete disgrace and respect for transgender people and how soulless Texas and Iowa are!!! Republicans are the most hateful human maggots on the planet
It's because our governor, Lt governor & atty gen are all MAGA assholes. They have made it difficult for people of color to vote. Redistricting is ridiculous. Totally rotten dickheads in charge. Grrr...
i was born with male shaped hips without the gender affirming care i got as a toddler i would likely never have been able to carry my children.... this is just cruel and blind sighted!!!!
Holy fuck who are these people? I don't want to hate people of faith, but this shit is awful. Just introducing the bill will inspire fear, and perhaps make some young people question their true selves. It's all so cruel and un-fucking-necessary
Its not really the easiest thing to do! People are not going to leave their livelihoods without one lined up. There will be a recession soon, and jobs are dropping like flies from the feds and the money lost from that will be felt hard globally.
The next person who tries to tell me that MAGA is about freedom had better be prepared to defend how taking personal medical decisions away from adults is freedom
So, no botox for the 40 and over crowd? No TRT, breast augmentation, viagra, rogaine, lip filler, leg lengthening, hair extensions, lifted trucks, dry scooping creatine, Joe Rogan, UFC? Nope, just hating on a tiny demographic to overwhelm our emotions and disable our critical thinking

Just about ignorance and hate.

Sorta. It's also disgusting, but for now I'll laugh at what they voted for themselves.
Trans folks are not a threat, republicans are.
I will never understand their obsession with everyone else's sex lives.

Where’s the line?
Where’s the personal liberty?
Where children die of measles in the ICU while pregnant women bleed out in the hospital parking lot
so f-in stupid.
It does NOTHING to these people to simply recognize that identity can be a little complicated …
Going after those causing you no harm should end your membership in the human race.
- will all breast augmentation or reconstruction be banned as well ?
- will all cosmetic surgery for everyone in Texas be banned ?
Anything less would be clearly discriminatory ⚖️
I can't help but wonder why...
It's a rating.
