My apologies to Del. Roem. But they know exactly the harm they want to inflict. Any other harm that comes as a result is simply a bonus.
The cruelty is the point. >

They know. Harm is the point. >


H.B. 1387 would ban trans kids from playing sports on teams that align with their gender identity, and 
H.B. 2432 would require school staff to out trans kids to their parents even if it would endanger them. The latter also states that “in no event shall referring to and raising the child in a manner consistent with the child’s biological sex, including related mental health or medical decisions, be considered abuse or neglect.”

​
Another Westboro Baptist Church bill. They are going to keep trans kids from enjoying school, dreading coming to school, and afraid of going home. Republicans saw Matthew Shepard's death and thought they would like to see more deaths like it. This is so sick and wrong. Children have rights to not be subject to abuse, also! This is purely abusive what Virginia is suggesting. The Republican Party is the Westboro Baptist Church. >

Fun fact:
A bunch of the legislators who voted in favor of this bill voted AGAINST outlawing conversion therapy for minors back in 2020.
These legislators would be perfectly comfortable allowing literal, proven child abuse to continue to be sanctioned by the state - as long as it's being done in the name of Christianity. >

It's what self-loathing people do: create what they believe to be proper, deserving rage objects they can justifiably vent their bottled up hatred on.
It's a sign of a serious mental health crisis. These haters really need professional help. >


"You have no idea what you're doing. You have no idea the harm you're causing,"

They know exactly the harm they're causing, for them it's a feature, it's the whole point.
They want an imagined version of the 1950s back, where everyone knew their place, trans people 'didn't exist,' and even gay people had the 'decency' to be a 'spinster' or a 'confirmed bachelor.'
They will wade through rivers of our blood to get there. >

They know the harm. That is the point. >

Bigots & racists know very well what have done and are doing. >

I’m unsure about the second one and the reasoning for it, but yeah I think this has already been settled about the sports issue. Identifying as a different gender does not physiologically change you, you should play with the sex you were born as. >


yeah I think this has already been settled about the sports issue

Do ya now >

Yes...men and woman are different from a bone, strength, and size point of view and should not be able to compete with the opposite sex because of this. A trans woman has significant advantages over regular women. This law would not ban anyone from sports, it would simply make them compete in the proper and fair division. >

This isn't directed toward men and women. It is toward children who have not gone through puberty and experienced those changes in bone, strength and size.
