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.”
this is how lack of education and science brings down a country. you are a pathetic meat sack Roger.
Reminds me of Utah ‘defining’ Pluto as a planet when it ‘passes over’ their state. Utterly silly.
What concerns me, though, is whether they would try to use this as a stepping stone toward defining legal identification of trans people’s correct gender as fraud. It seems unlikely to have an impact in states where trans folks actually have legal protections, but I could see it being used against us in states where we don’t.
Step 1: make drag illegal
Step 2: make trans people legally not exist
Consequence: you can legally throw trans people in prison for “drag” just for presenting as their gender
they are so obsessed with finding out what’s in your pants, they will make a law to force you to tell them. But what else can you expect from the party represented by rapists and child abusers…
Of course that definition makes no scientifical sense. Tf do they mean “supposed to”? We aren’t supposed to do jack shit. And how do you tell which one an intersex person is supposed to be lmao? Because they have female genetalia, they should carry eggs, but what if they’re XY? Does that mean they’re supposed to carry sperm?
Can the legislature just decide to define basket balls as all round objects inflated with air? Does that make soccer a basketball sport?
Like I honestly don’t even know what the goal of this bill is other than showing off being a bigot to tge other bigots…
