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.
This is how they intend to disarm trans people.
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
Fuck this shit
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.
Allowing your kids to die of measles: go right ahead
Allowing your kids to be happy: straight to jail
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?"
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.
That's a good value to hold. So thing that a lot of Conservatives can never understand. They then try to make up B.S. reasons about how the groups they don't like are "hurting" them.

When they say "small government", what they mean is "consolidated power".
Small safety net.
Large authoritarianism.
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.
