Lmao, what losers, like they could do anything to build support among their voters and they’re out here trying to gin up support by stoking transphobia.

They are the party if fear of anyone different, so if they started being accepting then they wouldn't be able to demonize the Dems.

It won't pass, but it's a reminder of what they will do when in power.

Please vote.

I work in the public sector myself (though in a different country). I constantly find myself wondering if this is in my future too.

If you're in Europe, then with the way things are going in a lot of countries here, I wonder the same.

Here in Spain we just got a progressive left leaning coalition government... that right the other day split into a "trans-inclusive feminist march" and a "trans-exclusive feminist march", with the populist right-wing addon march of "the country is breaking apart".

I keep trying to vote Cruz out, but no matter how many times I smash the button it only counts one vote.

Have you tried committing election and voter fraud like the Republicans?

A good reminder for folks to get their passports and birth records corrected post haste. Don’t be afraid to seek assistance and/or mutual aid for the cost.

IANAL but legal documents should retain validity under Article I (ex post facto) so long as you pre-empt legislation barring gender amendment.

If you want to be extra proactive, make sure your medical records reflect the correct gender and your providers use the male/female hypogonadism diagnosis.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best.
