Luckily, this has no chance of being enacted, even if the R's have the majority, but the idea seems to be going mainstream on the right.  My apologies for the poor quality of the image; the screen shot didn't get the whole Tweet.

I do not think ANY bill that she has proposed has even gotten our of its first committee much less a floor vote.  You have to admit she is single minded about us.  I have a fantasy about her getting into a train wreck and needing a blood transfusion for which the only donor they can find is a Trans person.  I have a pick your ending script for that one.

I can't seem to help seeing her as congress's resident court jester and dancing clown. Or at least the latest one.

My gut feeling tells me she will either break the law and get impeached, or she will lose in the next election cycle. She has the intelligence of a gnat. 

 

 

She's been in office for two years, her constituents have seen who she is and what she's up to, and they just re-elected her.  They got what they wanted, and what they deserve.  Maybe they just want to poke the rest of us in the proverbial eye.

First off, the Republicans haven't achieved control of the House (yet). And they lost the Senate, so it doesn't seem to have a very good chance to pass there. Even if it did, President Biden would veto it, so what's the point?

This crap is one reason (I suspect fraud too, like usual) that the Red tsunami into a fizzle.  The people have every right to be mad at incumbents for the rising fuel prices, massive inflation, and the current state of things.  This election was supposed to be a guaranteed winner, but apparently the Republicans don't want to talk about the main issue and focus on fringe stuff instead.  Not surprised.

Regarding Taylor-Greene, sooner or later, her idiocy will catch up to her. She has wasted the position with a crazy agenda that rational humans will continue to reject. My gut feeling tells me she will either break the law and get impeached, or she will lose in the next election cycle. She has the intelligence of a gnat. 

 

I've gotta agree totally. She's a lunatic to put it mildly. But, saying she has the intelligence of a gnat is a grievous insult to gnats everywhere...🤣

She is simply a wack'a'doodle in a party that has unfortunately lost its way in a desperate attempt to follow the great orange wave into retirement.

Her "base" loves this stuff.  It doesn't have to make sense to them, they don't care about that as long as they can rant against the "Libtards".  

It makes them feel good about themselves - at least we're not like them !  /s

Part of me wants to see how (badly) all this turns out, and another part is glad that I won't be.

 

(I'm not saying I'm ancient, but I still get birthday greetings from dirt and "the hills".)

      Good news is that I have nothing serious going on. The blood was coming from internal hemorrhoids, and the doctor says it's from the "typical American diet." Too much fat and carbs but not enough plant based fiber. A few other things were noted and biopsies on them for safety sake.    Hospital visit was grand with "most" of the staff addressing me as female. I did have "bra talk" with one of the CNA's. Even my discharged papers use my preferred name on them (Birdie).   So basically, adding more fiber to my diet will eliminate my internal hemorrhoids as well as lower my risk for cancer.

      For that part, be glad you live in MS and not in CA or some other "paradise."    Unfortunately, right now in the USA it is about choices.  Choose to live in a mostly free state that doesn't want my gender to exist, or choose to live in a leftist place that accepts my gender but not my family or my faith, or how I want to live my life or the stuff I own.   As for the lawsuits... hiring a lawyer costs money.  And a "no fees unless you win" attorney probably won't take a case like this, as it is difficult to get money from folks who often don't have anything.  As they say, "it is hard to get blood from a turnip."

      There's a couple of things.  First, since so many LGBTQ+ folks often vote Democrat, it is simply assumed that "LGBTQ = Democrat."  And to many, Democrat = enemy.  The fact that some of us don't vote for Democrats comes as a surprise to many.  You wouldn't believe how many different times I have had to explain how I vote, that I don't like Biden, etc...   And then, there's the flamboyant, over-the-top appearance and behavior of some.  When average folks see strange dress, wild colors, and the occasional provocative behavior in the news, they assume that it is the norm and that all LGBTQ+ folks are like that.  To them, "LGBTQ = weird."    I think that @Abigail Genevieve is right, part of it is lousy marketing.  And that will take a ton of undoing, because it has been going on for years.

      Personally, I despise the antics of the "swing" states. Double-minded and unstable, shifting every time the wind blows.  OK, so the Lt Governor of Georgia doesn't like Trump.  Small potatoes.... given the 2020 results, nobody counts on Georgia anyways.

      Its midnight here...so, technically morning   I had a really weird evening, and learned something new about politics.  My sister, who is running for public office as our township constable, received a "present" today, left on the hood of her patrol car.  An axe!  Wrapped in a bundle of sticks (dowels?).  The sheriff received one also, and a couple other candidates.  Now, my first thought was it was meant as a threat, and I was freaked out when she told me.  But she wisely identified it as political criticism:   During the 2020 election, a small dissident minority objected to our sheriff, and labeled him "Mussolini."  Apparently the symbol of the F@scist Party came from ancient Rome.  An axe, circled with rods, and the whole bundle was called "fasces" and represented the authority of the state.  Roman officials would have them symbolically carried ahead of them through the city on parade.  Other nations used it too, including the USA.  But since the 1920s, it is mostly associated with a certain political party.  Either I was never taught this in high school, or I didn't notice it.    So, it appears that this election season will have some interesting aspects.  And I have been asked to put gold spray paint on an axe, to make it like a trophy.

      Welcome @Vivelacors!  For myself and many others here it is a similar theme.  But, I can assure it's never too late.  I hope that you will discover that as you explore and connect with more of us on the Forum.    You've already taken the most important first step ... Self-Affirmation.  I am wishing you the best in continuing this process. Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      I can remember as a teenager being a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and living in the bible belt. It was always a little hard-I think religion is just tricky anyway.    I was referred to a couple of ladies at church by my mum who gave me very good advice.  One has known those who are are trans- and how they approched it.    The other has two people in their life who identify differently. They also gave other ideas to assist me.     I do like ideas though.

      If I am leaving the house I will almost always do makeup.  Not over-the-top but enough to feminize my face (eye shadow, mascara), lipstick, and a light cover of a concealer and foundation. I found my favorite lipsticks are Maybelline.  But the concealer/foundation I 'discovered' in Neutrogena Hydro Boost - Hyaluronic Acid based.  For 'older' gals like me I find it moisturizes and doesn't dry into those annoying fine lines (I have enough of those already).    Hopefully, after facial hair removal I might not feel the need as much.

      I think it just comes down to a lot of people not knowing anything about the lgbtq+ community besides what reactionaries online and on TV say. In my experience, people who have a lot more day-to-day contact with gay and trans people, have lgbtq+ friends or family, coworkers, etc. are a lot more accepting because they know an lgbtq+ person, and know that we aren't anything like what the people on TV say we are.

      Actually the bill seems to be so thoroughly confusing that I doubt that enforcement is even possible.  It could however incite vigilante style actions.  A false accusation against a "looks challenged" Cis woman is very likely to happen early on.  So what will happen in the case of those situations?  I have a script in mind over the sad average looking daughter of one of the legislators getting tangled into one of those situations.  I don't know whether it would be a comedy or a tragedy at the minute.
