Better keep picking on less than 1% of the population instead of trying to solve the problems effecting everyone.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

They're intentionally focusing on the wrong 1%. Going after trans people is meant to serve as a distraction.

Wtf. This is fucking stupid

[–] blue_envelope_447@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago

What a shame. The trans people of Kansas deserve far better than this disgusting violation.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I guess they ????could dress in reverse drag???? to drive and vote?

Fuck you Kansas.

My only comment about this might be bannable for violence reasons, so I'm just gonna be quiet.

I just changed mine to NB in my state. $20 to upgrade to real id at the same time.

If this is NOT another reason to study and read socialist theory, then I don't know what is. Seriously! https://redsails.org/

Western democracy says you should tolerate fascists so they can crush you

Shit like this is why I no longer believe in the abolishment of death penalty.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It should be the opposite. This is the perfect example of why the death penalty should 100% be abolished. Right now they're going after driver licenses and bathroom usage, but the slippery slope is very slippery. It won't take much for them to make being trans an illegal offense punishable by death.

It won’t take much for them to make being trans an illegal offense punishable by death.

What they’ll do is make something like “the sexual abuse of children” punishable by death, but define being trans (probably verbiage would be “crossdressing”) within so many feet of a child as sexual abuse.

Then, when people try to argue against it, they can be like “oh, you want to protect pedophiles?”

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

They won't go that far because they now have a vested interest in protecting pedophiles. They'll just come out and say that being trans is illegal because it's against god or something and that it'll punishable by death. And guess what? They'll get it away with it too just like how they're getting away with this crap.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Okay, probably I can settle with absolute life in prison, if said prison is a solitary confinement without any access to their preferred religious materials and/or food.

Now I'm awake to the world. I was asleep before. That's how we let it happen. When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.
