Well, that should make groceries and housing affordable for sure now.

Idea: "Let's make 122,000 Texans felons overnight. Statistics say they only own about 4200 guns. We're sure their families will be ok with us rounding them up and throwing them in prison, too."
This couldn't possibly go off the rails.

Say we agree, which we do not, that transgenderism is made up.
So is Christianity and every other religion. 100% made up to ease the minds of the weak and ignorant.
Let’s at least attempt to be consistent.

But a judge signed off on it and DPS issued me a new ID. Surely they’d be implicated in abetting a felony?

Stop making 1% of the population miserable and fix ACTUAL problems that affect everyone!!
At this point it’s just being lazy lawmakers, making unconstitutional laws that will get eventually shot down to get cheers from MAGA and leave everyone else suffering from cost of living prices to drown

This is what Texas looks like to other states. The government here frames us all as unaccepting bigots to everyone else.
It's embarrassing to say the least

Wow. They're trying to make being alive illegal. And to think they get all offended when we call them Taliban.

Abbott better watch out. Cripples can’t be far behind trans persons.

Next step, maybe bring back cross dressing laws, force all "men" to wear pants, all "women" to wear dresses?

If you live here, please do speak out about this!! Whether that is to your friends or family, to your network, to your representative. A call or email letting them know you do not support it and why can be worth it. If you know a trans Texan, do reach out to them and check in on them! This is scary. My family called and basically begged my partner and I to leave the state ASAP because of this. I told them we’re ok for now and I intend to resist at all sides, but would leave if safety necessitates it. I hope it doesn’t pass but this is a big part of their published project 2025 goal. It’s worth taking seriously in opposition.

Funny how worried they are about the possibility of accidentally seeing a penis, while at the same time they want to physically check for its presence.

Such a flagrant violation of human rights from the party that makes such a dither about "Free speech" when their disinformation campaigns are revealed online. Anyone still think they ever were just worried about "the children" or women in bathrooms? They will NEVER stop until people that make them uncomfortable are *exterminated*...and if allowed they will go after other groups. They will come for someone you love soon enough. Its only a matter of time.

"I am Sparticus!"
If we all did it, they can't jail us all. It should be a free country. People can do what they want as long as it doesn't harm me or anyone.
