MODERATORS
 

"Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students "for being homosexual or transgender." They also argue they should be able to penalize teaching assistants for "cross-dressing," by which they appear to mean allowing trans women to wear skirts."

Another great reason why we need good, anonymous currency and more privacy in society. Everything’s all fine and dandy till your bank or google maps rats you out.

Two. Two professors. Two are suing for their right to be shitheads. This needs to be clarified. It's not a class action lawsuit or anything. The vast majority of profs I had at UT-Austin, if they are still teaching there, were almost certainly protesting Palestinian occupation along with the students.

(This being said and Texas being what it is, I am surprised it isn't more than two. I can't leave this state fast enough.)

I'm sure our current SCOTUS, which said that the right to bodily autonomy doesn't exist because it wasn't enumerated even though the Constitution clearly says not all rights are, will have no problem using the exact same reasoning to slap these two Texassholes down, right?

Right?

Even before the overturn of roe v wade the right to bodily autonomy, as you're using the term, did not exist, as even roe v wade concluded that the state might have a compelling interest to restrict abortion in some cases. And most states had some kind of restriction in place.

And when the scotus overturned it, they didn't remove the right to bodily autonomy, but the implicit right to privacy.

Dudes that aren't getting laid upset that other people are getting laid

the people who are maddest about gays are the ones who are secretly gay and hate themselves most of all. they only say "it's a choice" because they made the choice to suppress it and are angry at anyone who chooses "to thine own self be true"
