      Cheney’s younger daughter Mary was bi, and both he and Liz were happy enough to throw her under the bus in order to advance their political careers.

    Texas will not allow Joe Biden to rewrite Title IX at whim, destroying legal protections for women

    Because only we get to do that!

      If you take away all the hatred and reactionary thinking, and you insist on the actual points of progress or improvement or policy they wish to make, you’ll find there there’s nothing left.

      Cruelty and extremism is all they have.

    The entire rest of the country should sue the Biden administration for the right to discriminate against Texas.

      California decided long ago that we would all collectively do this without federal approval. So don’t worry, we’ve got this.

      Notice how Texas is kind of the only state where people move to it and can’t stop boasting about how great everything is? Like I think you’re trying to convince yourself not me, buddy.

        It’s only the Conservatives doing that, anymore. I don’t think most folks from Austin, Houston, and Dallas are really under any illusions, anymore.

        And to be fair, Texas has a lot going for it, if only you could excise the cancer that is the Republican party. They ratfuck the state and still somehow manage to scare their followers into believing it would be worse without them.

        Oklahoma is already directing schools not to follow the guidelines. I can’t legally work in a school - unless I’m able to hold it all day - but I’m still expected to complete my four years of service for my TEACH grant 🤡

    Alright, I’m gonna need the state to secede so the US military comes in and rolls the fuck over our stupid-ass state government so we might actually see some relative sanity restored to office in my lifetime.

    Welp, that just means I have the right to discriminate against christian nationalists. I have a right to discriminate against republican zealots.

    The new rules do not discuss the issue of transgender student-athletes and which teams they can play on.

    Won’t someone think of the athletes?!

    I fucking hate this shit. Puh-lease. Like suddenly you care about women when it comes to women’s sports fuck off with that shit, I don’t give a fuck if someone who used to have balls won the women’s soccer division give me my rights back you lying piece of shit ass sucker

      While I completely agree with your sentiment, I would imagine that some of the women in your scenario might find it extremely unfair to be competing with someone who has an innate physical advantage over them.

      That’s the problem with this culture war stuff, what should be reasoned debate becomes polarised shouting matches and people calling each other nazis.

          Exactly. Almost as if trans women are actually women…

          The whole, “They’ll dominate women’s sports!” is an ignorant statement at best and a blatant strawman at worst.

      It wasn’t all that long ago when conservatives hated women’s sports precisely because they conflated women athletes with lesbians.

    if we have a right to discriminate against queer people surely i have the right to discriminate against government/state institutions right?

    Surely now i can no longer follow the law and as long as i say “nuh uh” to them, i should be left alone, right?

    There aren’t enough insults to issue to the people that run this state to tell them how much I think they are so full of stupidity. I can comfortably say I know where the LOWEST bar is for our nation.
