Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I cant wait for all the CIS conservatives who inevitably get arrested/genital inspected due to this law, and the inevitable crying of "It wasnt supposed to affect me, I feel so humiliated and attacked over this egregious invasion of my body" with zero self awareness or irony.
I'm scared of laws like this because I'm a cis woman and I have natural facial hair
Laws like this always put non-conservative-traditional women in the crosshairs. Moreso than trans people, despite specifically attacking trans people, simply due to how many more CIS people there are than trans.
The goal is far greater than that. Cis people, and especially cis women, are going to be deliberately caught up in this, not accidentally. Once the sheep have been convinced that trans people are irredeemably evil, watch as the definition of "trans" expands ever-outward. Are you a woman that wears pants? That sounds like cross-dressing to me. Oh, you want to work a job like engineering? Learn to appreciate your biological sex, you transgender freak! Stop pretending to be a man and get a career appropriate to your biological sex.
The way these organizations operate, you tend to have coordinated groups of TERF brownshirts barging into public spaces and harassing strangers with the support of the church, the majority party, and law enforcement.
If a few Republican lay-voters get swept up in the dragnet, who cares? Idaho is one of the reddest states in the country. Nobody is going to shed a tear for the 6' tall post-menopausal country mama who gets pepper sprayed by a crack team of transvestigators, because they'll just relabel her as Far-Left when she objects to rough treatment.
The point of these pogroms is to juice up the partisan insiders and ready them for a wider conflict. A bit of friendly fire is a small price to pay for the libidinal joy of violently oppressing your neighbors, while getting tons of updoots on social media.
