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.

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.
Naaawwww :( I wanted to be locked up with fellow enbys. Would be a RIOT in prison.
What can we do for trans people that live in Texas and need to get out?
kinnda funny the same rednecks running 'dont tread on me' flags are fucking terrified of trans people. cowards.
I wonder if the most hateful are their women...
It's all about freedom in Texas. Freedom for me and my kind.
Sounds like thought crime to me.
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
Identify as embryo or slave, no other choice in the free world
Well, that’s better than socialism where you have no freedom, and you’re forced to have as many genders as there are in reality. /s
People who support this aren't American anyway. Real Americans believe in human rights
bans identifying as human
The sad thing is that Mango Mussolini would be stupid enough to actually pass something like that.
Have you read black history in the US? :)
Or read about native Americans? I say read because they are almost extinct
Or, like, any pre-2008 American history lmao
Recognizing human rights was an anomaly over the last few years, not the norm
You're not wrong, but I also don't think the US is unique in that regard. There's been a lot of bullshit going on, even in countries that you would never imagine things like that happening in.
In most decent states there's been a ton of progress. I never claimed we were always perfect. No country has been.
No I know. I would say all countries are pretty fucked up actually. Because human leaders are greedy and awful human beings in most cases.
You say "decent states" as if you think rural east Oregon is better than Atlanta in that regard, just because Oregon is blue and Georgia is red.
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.
I don't know how helpful this is, but we'd welcome you with open arms in most of europe on a social level, especially west and northern europe. On a institutional level there are requirements that vary from country to country about work and skills etc.
Since things are getting really bad over there, it might be worth properly researching.
