You gotta love it when a dumbass senator is trying to pass a law that’ll be extremely harmful to both women and trans folks. I’m so fucking done with this country. I want to kill this guy myself. They’re all a bunch of pervs and no one can convince me otherwise. Literally buying pepper spray right now in case they decide to pass this dumbass shit in my state.
What is the law? I'm not very up to date
^ very concerning but I have no idea what you're talking about
yeah you’re gonna need to clarify. One thing got shot down by Biden in the federal level, but there are things floating around on the State level in Arizona. There is nothing in congress right now that threatens trans lives.
I’m still figuring out the details of it but this (ofc republican) guy from the House of Representatives is trying to pass this law to “help uphold title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 in athletics” saying that “protection from gender discrimination” in this field will now be based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.
How are you doing this you might ask? By checking the female students genitalia
As if they don’t have our medical records
They’re doing this specifically to target trans students but this is obviously also very traumatizing and dehumanizing towards female students.
I honestly don’t see how they could pass this, it’s that stupid. I’m trying to find more sources that prove that that’s what they’re actually planning on doing but it hasn’t actually passed yet. (Though I believe it’s passed in Idaho and Ohio?)
But yes, this may be the one thing I ever get in trouble for, if this passes in my state. Because I will absolutely go fucking feral.
**also just because something gets passed at a federal level does NOT mean it has to be enacted in every state.
I repeat.

please read up on basic politics and government on CREDIBLE sources
It’s stayed under the radar but the internet started finding out about it maybe two or three days ago.
Search up hr 426 2021 and you should be able to find more info. I’m not sure yet how accurate all this information is, but I’m trying to find more sources on it.
That’s only in Arizona. They are going to try to repeal something like that to bar trans and LGBT folks from joining athletics. However it is EXTREMELY under fire from everywhere, not just folks from AZ.
STATE HOUSE

I know that and I’m sorry if I’m just causing a panic but if this is a possibility for me, I’m really upset and distraught.
Idaho's a transphobic state and I wanna punch everybody here. Theres a shit ton of laws that prevent your birth certificate and other legal documents being changed to match your gender and just ALFHALHSKAHALSHDKAHZK
I AM GOING TO LIGHT THE CAPITOL BUILDING ON FIRE I ONLY LIVE 30 MINUTES AWAY
Not the federal house of reps
We have a very democratic government right now. That wouldn’t even be considered. PLEASE know the difference between federal and state.

This is different than what I’m talking about. The act I’m discussing was introduced by a representative from Florida.
don’t panic
unless you live in AZ then yeah that’s understandable
I looked it up and got directed to a georgia assembly.
No notable news anchors are reporting it. It’s not going to pass because, again, we have an INCREDIBLY democratic admin and gov. It will not pass.
I’m discussing a different act than you are, sorry for any confusion.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/426/all-actions?overview=closed#tabs
This is what I’m discussing. The actions I listed above is what is being done in response to this act.
I’m hoping that you are right, and it really won’t pass (because I don’t see a reason why it would) but at the moment I’m just trying to let my feelings out.
omg I’m gonna repeat this until I’m dead apparently.
we have a democratic ruled government. it will not pass the president’s desk, and the senate may not even pick it up
shit I don’t even think it’ll pass the house.
they’re all dem. relax
ofc but it’s better to be informed than live in fear. if you panicked at everything republicans throw at LGBTQ+ folk you’d be panicking a lot
I’m sorry. I was just trying to let my feelings out.

Of course. Once again, I’m sorry for any misinformation I spread, I’m just upset.
It’s alright. But political things are very different because you can actually spread a lot of fear with things like this. Just stay calm aight? :)
Got it. Thank you.
I hate when people use religion as an excuse to be racist (and just rude to anyone)
Like do you people not know there's an entire book in the Bible on why you shouldn't be racist

ITS NOT HARD DOM
My dad is angry at me
for not getting more than half of one of my five missing math assignments done
Even though he knows I don't know the math and am having a hard time figuring it out since my teacher stopped posting notes
and we've set up a meeting for us to figure it out and for me to get tutoring
He's just screaming about how it's all my fault and I'm just not applying myself hard enough
I'm sorry, dad, that I sometimes dissociate and have no idea what's going on, and don't remember the math sessions
but I can't tell him that or he'll just scream about how he can't afford to get me to help so I just have to force myself to focus
because him seeing it in action while we were playing monopoly on the switch and the only reason the entire game didn't grind to a halt was that I was pushing two buttons over and over and played without even realizing I fucking existed
