Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to legally erase transgender people, entitled the “Defining Male and Female Act of 2024.” He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.”
The bill is a long list of terms and definitions, where words like “father” and “girl” are defined with the words “male” and “female.” Those two words are then defined as “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes [sperm or eggs for male or female, respectively] for fertilization.”
Might as well define the Earth as flat and the Moon as green cheese while he’s at it.
Do these fuckers have literally nothing else to do than wage wars against reality?
Maybe a strategy to distract the masses while they and their
supportershandlers steal the country blind.I think you mis-spelled “Likely”.
I know you misspelled “certainly.”
They might try. They’ve already tried to legislate a definition of pi to equal exactly 3.
No, I refuse to believe that’s ever hap-

Motherfucker…
Yes, because “the” bible.
That’s the level of idiocy we are dealing with. These people have always been among us, and refuse to learn shit. They insist their kids are at LEAST as stupid as they are, lest they claim others are “indoctrinating” their kids with the “woke” agenda and other such nonsense - the terms have changed, the Birchers used other terms for it, like “Communist agenda”, the hatriots in the 90s used terms like “political correctness”, the teabaggers continued to talk about “political correctness”, the qanon types whine about “DEI” and “being woke” and getting “cancelled”.
These people are all the same - qanon crazies == teabaggers == hatriots == Birchers. Only some of the labels have changed.
It keeps us divided. It misdirects the anger of their base towards something other than how badly they are being fucked.
Never attribute that to malice which can be adequately explained by stupidity… Unless it comes from the mouth of a Republican politician.
Nope.
Yes because if they admit reality, none of them should be in power.
They are going to need something to distract from the economic misery all the dumbfucks voted for are going to be getting (along with everyone else).
I mean, if donvict really does tariffs and deportations, we are going to be in the Great Depression 2.0.
Punching down on trans (and gays/lesbians, and POC, and women, and non-xtians, and liberals, and foreigners that they aren’t already deporting) and doing stupid things like trying to get “the” bible being taught in our schools will become priority #1 if the economy goes totally pear-shaped.
