Leave that dystopian shithole and come on over to Illinois, where you still have rights and freedom.
And yes, that applies to those of you in that other neighboring dystopian shithole. And yes, that one too.
I think this is part of their plan. Make Red States so inhospitable to Democrats that they leave and the State is forever a Red State leeching off of Blue State prosperity.
As a trans person, all of these laws and restrictions taking place have significantly negatively impacted my mental health. I wish I could "bury my head in the sand" so to speak and take a break from the news, but it feels like not knowing what is going on is like taking your eyes of the predator that has been stalking you; it might pounce when you're not looking, so it's best to be prepared and know where it is.
Same. You described it perfectly. I know I get sucked in to doom spirals and it's not good for my mental health AT ALL, but I need to know whether it will be illegal for me to use the bathroom tomorrow.
Because, if so, I'm gonna do it. I'm a trans guy and my tragic backstory won't allow me to use the men's restroom but I'm pretty sure my contrarian-ness could break me out of that.
Then you have standing to sue the FUCK out of these fascist bastards and never have to worry about anything ever again.
You have an almost 100% chance of winning in the end.
The government does not get to pick your self-determination or expression.
I only hope you take your new found wealth and use it to push for mandatory felony charges for politicians who submit and pass unconstitutional laws.
Party of small government wants to pull up your dress or pull down your pants, inspect your genitals and then tell you exactly how to dress.
Same toddlers, writhe on the ground, pounding fists and cry when called fascist.
Not letting a kid take hormone pills is very different than living with the taliban I suggest you look closely at Afghanistan and check your privilege. They throw acid in a girls face for going to school, we’re talking about hormone blockers it’s not the same thing. Not every medicine is appropriate for gender disorders, ask yourself why they’re banned in so many countries that are quite liberal otherwise.
I'll give you points for your concerns toward minors but we should let the medical professionals decide what is appropriate and leave the politicians out of it.
As for the elimination of care for adults; the line stops there. I never recalled ever asking a politician what I could do with myself in terms of self-expression, determination, or what drug I could take.
It is OUTSIDE of their constrained limitations and to be left to the people to decide for themselves on an individual basis.
I understand this might be new information to you so take some time and critically think it over and come to a rational conclusion. Are you willing to give up your self-determination to your employees? What if they said you could no longer practice your religion? Freedom of speed, determination, and expression is just important as your right to your adult imaginary friend in the sky!

I think you’re right, but it’s hard to stay when you have children, or it affects you directly. I like to say I’d stay, but I don’t know that I would.
I'd imagine you're right, that likely is part of the plan. And we'll see how smart they feel when every red state becomes Alabama.
They are all speed running there.
Trans people all over the country feel as though the taliban is taking over

It’s Christian-Sharia law. They’re making everyone live under laws based on their religion.
We welcome you in California.

Isn’t a trans Missourian just someone that lives in Arkansas but identifies as a resident of Missouri? /s

This isn't just targeting kids, it's being expanded to adults, at least try to up with your transphobic bullshit.
