Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to legally erase transgender people, entitled the “Defining Male and Female Act of 2024.” He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.”
The bill is a long list of terms and definitions, where words like “father” and “girl” are defined with the words “male” and “female.” Those two words are then defined as “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes [sperm or eggs for male or female, respectively] for fertilization.”
Most drag shows don’t have that sort of content.
I wouldn’t bring a child to a drag show that does but honestly I don’t care that much, children have seen worse shit.
No one is arguing every child should have to be brought to a drag show where people are in thongs.
This is a non-issue and happens to like a dozen people per year worldwide, meanwhile transphobia and lack of access to adequate healthcare and lack of spaces they’re allowed to express themselves hurts all trans people everywhere.
What about all the people feeding their children to hungry bears! I yell while posting a link to an article talking about how someone fed their child to a bear once.
I don’t know how long I have to keep going.
