Remember kids, the cruelty is the point

I don't understand how "live free or die" elected this hateful piece of shit.

I mean, I do understand it, it's because Republican voters are hateful people. I just don't appreciate it.

Starting January 1, 2026, providers are barred from providing hormone care and puberty blockers only “if the performance or administration of the procedure or medication is for the purpose of altering or attempting to alter the appearance of or affirm the minor’s perception of his or her gender or sex, if that perception is inconsistent with the minor’s biological sex.”

I’m pretty sure my perception of who I am, and its validity, have absolutely nothing to do with what republicans think. Pretty sure that’s also true for all humans.

Sounds like it would be possible to prescribe puberty blockers to alleviate depression and mitigate risk of self-harm.

Not if the cause is gender dysphoria.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which is a completely made-up condition. According to these right-wing asswipes.

Facts may not care about feelings, but Republicans sure do! Their feelings, not anyone else's, of course.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, but the cause is lack of treatment for dysphoria, not the dysphoria itself.

Nazis literally can't tell the difference between liberals and Soviet communists. I don't think they care.

The list of states I'd move to continues to shrink.

If you are trans and live in a red state, it should not be zero.

Can't believe the point is that you should be looking for another country because it's only a matter of time

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It's only a matter of time but nobody is taking us yet so head somewhere blue

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 day ago

Until those countries fall as well. It is just delaying the inevitable rather than fighting back.

I live in Texas right now.
