The bill, misleadingly named the Safeguarding Free Speech Act…,

What’s it called when irony sucks its own dick like an ironic ourobouros?

We should insist that the bill be referred exclusively by the name assigned at it’s conception, the “Fuck With Trans People to Score Political Points with Narrow-minded Bigots” act.

henfredemars,

Misleadingly? I think the word is mistakenly. It’s named the opposite of what it does.

RizzRustbolt,

By intent. So misleading.

mindbleach,

Fascists always lie.

So they're legislating speech and forcing the use of pronouns that make them feel more comfortable. Color me shocked.

Madison420,

Sounds a bit woke to me!

BigMacHole,

That means Rafael and Nimarata have to use their real names too right? Right?

ghostdoggtv,

Dark Brandon should start throwing republicans in jail, really give them something to cry about.

Someone needs to introduce a bill requiring everyone to call Republicans only by the name, Shitgoblin.

funkless_eck,

man who’s name isn’t Ted campaigning to only use people’s “real” names.

Doug,

He’s already unpopular with all his coworkers, no one will be excited to vote for Rafael from Canada.

reddig33,

He barely got re-elected in Texas even with that magical ® next to his name. That should tell you how much he is despised.

Doug,

One could argue his actions for a bit are almost him trying not to get reelected, but yeah.

Nougat,
  • We call people what they want to be called.

Tinidril,

Exactly, or in other words, “Don’t be a dick.”. I can’t find the attribution on that one though.

Personally, I don’t even think this is the right cultural strategy for gender disphoria. I think that softening and challenging gender norms and expectations is the better strategy in the long term. “Him” and “Her” are just noises without the mass of cultural bullshit expectations. But if someone wants to be referred to as a “him” or a “her”, it’s not my place to question it, and I’m certainly not going to be offended by it

Bonesince1997,

Ah, the important work of the day /s

Ah yes the real issue of our times.

Cutting to the heart of the moral decay in our democracy.

I wonder what nut job came up with the idea that God would expel them from heaven and send them to eternal torment for calling a trans person by their preferred gender?

And I wonder where the intelligent compassionate person is that could get into the midst of all of the straighten it out?

mateomaui,

Airline should have ejected him halfway back from Cancun.
