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.
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
kinnda funny the same rednecks running 'dont tread on me' flags are fucking terrified of trans people. cowards.
It's all about freedom in Texas. Freedom for me and my kind.
I wonder if the most hateful are their women...
ThE pArTy of SmAlL GoVeRnMeNt
Small safety net.
Large authoritarianism.
When they say "small government", what they mean is "consolidated power".
People who support this aren't American anyway. Real Americans believe in human rights
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.

bans identifying as human
The sad thing is that Mango Mussolini would be stupid enough to actually pass something like that.

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.
They are looking for any excuse to go after AOC. They are foaming at the mouth to get anyone who speaks against them already
Sounds like thought crime to me.
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.
Allowing your kids to die of measles: go right ahead
Allowing your kids to be happy: straight to jail
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.

A whole gay jail? Sign me up!
*cocks gun*
"WHAT DO YOU IDENTIFY AS?"
What can we do for trans people that live in Texas and need to get out?
😐
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.
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
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.
This is how they intend to disarm trans people.
Fuck this shit
