I think that Senator Julie Daniels does have a valid point. People of one gender wearing clothing traditionally worn by the other is prohibited in the Bible:
A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.
Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.
I mean, that's pretty explicit.
And I suppose that one could call exposing children to view of an adult doing so obscene. Maybe society would be best off if we jailed people with the temerity to do such things.
On an entirely-unrelated note, I see that in the article's picture, the senator cuts quite a striking figure in her pantsuit and with her short hair.

Ironic that all the paintings of Jesus show him with long hair.
Sounds like that was most-likely ahistorical, and resulted from the paintings having been created in different societies in a different time.

In the Bible, there aren't any verses describing Jesus' hair. However, there are verses that describe how Jewish men took care of their hair according to the Law. Based on these verses, Jesus likely had neatly trimmed black hair, long sideburns, and a beard. Long hair was an exception. Most Jewish men had shorter hair.

Iconic artistic depictions of Jesus, such as Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper or Michelangelo’s The Last Judgement, look nothing like a typical first-century Jewish man in the Roman province of Judea. While we have little solid evidence of what the real face of Jesus looked like, he probably did not resemble the paintings hanging in most Western churches and museums to this day.
The artist Bas Uterwijk created a photorealistic depiction of Jesus based on DNA and forensic anthropology.
If you've ever looked at depictions of Jesus around the world, he changes quite a bit...like, in China, Jesus and company can be pretty Chinese-looking, in African art, he can look pretty African, etc.
That's not a woman, that's a trans women! It's clear because she looks a bit butch, that's the sign!!
Quickly, someone check her private parts every time she goes to the bathroom, wouldn't want to harm women now, do we?
My legal opinion is they are FABULOUS!
I think it would be a hard case for a serious lawyer to make that a man wearing women's clothing is obscene (or vice versa), seeing as PG rated movies have had men dressed as women for decades. That doesn't mean the AG here won't decree it, just that it should be easy to challenge in federal court.
Drummond wants the governors seat. Could be a good stunt to get the MAGA 15 minutes of fame.
“The Legislature has made it abundantly clear that sexually explicit performances have no place in public spaces, especially in front of children,” Daniels said. “Unfortunately, drag shows continue to spark controversy in Bartlesville and across the state, underscoring the need for further legal guidance.”
Hold up. Wait a minute. I thought that law was about keeping children safe from sexual stuff in public. Who could have possibly thought that they would conflate drag performances with sexually deviant acts, that must be outlawed in order to protect children. That is absolutely not what the law was intended for, right?
Bringing back obscenity laws surely won’t be used to criminalize wearing clothes that do not align with someone’s assigned sex at birth, right? Putting the now illegal trans people in prisons that correspond to a persons sex assigned at birth is not a threat to their safety, right? I thought it was about protecting women?? Stopping their access to hormone therapy, mental health services, and proper clothing while imprisoned surely is not a punishment for being an illegal person, right?
Banning trans health care for minors is only about protecting children as well, right? Surely they will not use that as a basis to prohibit trans health care for all trans people, right?
There’s no way any of this could be about erasing, and eventually cleansing, a minority population, right?
They already technically revoked our drivers licenses I think? No idea - if I randomly stop posting I’m probably dead in OK County for “fraud.” (Don’t remember if it’s 7 or 8 deaths so far this year.)
Well, if they did revoke your ability to have a license in OK with the proper gender marker on it, it’s to protect children.
Everyone knows my hairy bearded ass would make everyone’s 11 year old daughter feel totally safe in the women’s restroom.
It was actually a crime for me to piss in the men’s restroom for my last couple years teaching. Misdemeanor - they could have docked my schools funding by 10%.
I’m a criminal mastermind, I commit so many crimes just by breathing now.
Julie Daniels. I want you to take the service pistol of the nearest officer and give it a blow job.
Next to big hats. You can't even imagine the evil things you could do with a big hat.
