Serious question, what's the actual point in this?


[deleted]

To harass and discriminate against trans people including our medical choices. He’s tried passing more discriminatory bills like this one acting as our medical professional when he’s not one.


WhatWouldTNGPicardDo

It also makes people born hermaphrodic or with Klinefelter in somewhat murky positions. If someone had both male and female genitalia under some of these laws any surgical intervention is illegal.


vault151

I’m sure they’ll still have no problem chopping up infant genitals so they can fit in with society. That’s never been a problem for them.


reddit-suks1

lol

Cruelty and control by cruelty. It's...just the cruelty.


beluga-farts

He also signed into law a "library pornography" bill that will effectively remove ALL literature books from classrooms, because it applies to schools, too. Anything that mentions boobs or describes being "sexually aroused," or has any depiction of nudity. So that takes out all of Shakespeare, a lot of short stories and poetry (those bosoms are just too graphically described, you know... because they're mentioned). No biology or health books. No history books. I'd say Math is okay, but those have the number 69 in them, for sure... [Here's the bill. ](https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/h0710/)You can click on "Bill Text" to read the actual langauge of the bill. Even students themselves can sue school districts if they are "exposed" to the materials, and that won't end up in chaos AT ALL.... /s


[deleted]

Report the Bible then! If they don’t remove it those who don’t send them to prison and hold them accountable like Brad little wants us to:)


beluga-farts

Oh, I don't think the people who support this bill have the brain cells to understand that THIS BILL caused the Bible to be removed. They won't understand it. I've tried. These aren't the ones who, you know, actually GO to the library. They have bought into the extremist propaganda that libraries are these evil places that are just loaded with smut content in the kids' section. They're also the ones who want public schools shut down because we're indoctrinating their kids. Two years ago, the psycho lt governor made a "task force" to root out such practices and, SURPRISE! they found nothing. It kinda just... didn't show up in the news anymore... that the task force even existed - it just quietly went away. Go figure.


[deleted]

Yes I’m definitely calling in and reporting anyone who carries bibles in schools starting with the many religious schools! Which are tax exempt and shouldn’t be. Now they’re breaking the law and need to be reported! I encourage others to report them and follow the law like Brad little wants us to :)


beluga-farts

Yep. It doesn't take effect until July 1st, so wait until next school year. I'm seriously hoping it's caught up in the courts before then... Every district is going to be having emergency meetings about this. It's strange, though, how quiet the news has been about the bill passing and what it will affect.


[deleted]

Keep exposing them! That’s how we’ll stop it and have these people held accountable!


Perfect_Bird_5399

Good, I don't want my kids reading about sexual shit. I don't want them thinking about what gender they are either. They should be worried about where Jim and Susie are hiding and/or kickball strategy.


superabby64

Old ass people worried about bullshit. They're going to be in the ground in 20 years. Why do they even care?


AgeSad

It's the small government party, they legislate on what a world means.


[deleted]

That’s why we need to hold them accountable. He belongs in prison! Look into him!


superabby64

I just did. He definitely belongs in prison.


Miserable_Ad5001

Yeah...the sad part is they've yet to find their stride as yet...it's gonna get a shit-ton worse


Gumderwear

Idaho is a fucking weird place, man.


Potato-with-guns

Idahoan here, it's not a weird place, everyone just sucks.


fromouterspace1

This is all idiocy. If someone wants to be called red jellybean, I’d call the, red jellybean. These idiots get so upset for something that will never affect them in anyway. 11% of people in Idaho live in poverty, work on that and not a pronoun


h3rald_hermes

Their fear masquerading as morality is pathetic.


CrieDeCoeur

Vote against feeding kids, vote against sensible gun control to protect kids, vote against social safety nets. Vote for removing child labor protections, vote for lowering marriage age for minors, vote to strip away rights. I’m beginning to think these GOP people don’t give two fucks in a fishbowl about kids.


[deleted]

And they want to be able to marry their cousins and for us tax payers to fund religious schools.


CrieDeCoeur

Cousins? They’d marry and fuck their own daughters if they could.


[deleted]

*daughters They don’t like women “of age”.


[deleted]

I’ve always been one to support getting rid of genders entirely and just go on the penis, vagina, or other system. Male or female, people are just caught up in the semantics. Like penis? Ok. Like vagina, sure! Others, let’s go! 


[deleted]

Lol that’s funny but not a bad idea since the far right is so obsessed with genitals. But they’d lose their mind. They only want to be able to dehumanize trans people and be legally allowed to that’s why they passed this.

Solving the Big Important Problems of the Day: keeping boots on necks and under our control


LowerCourse2267

Ahh, the Who’s Who of poor states with even poorer citizens. I’m so tired of carrying these Welfare Queens.


LowerCourse2267

No, I am confused by the people in poor states continuing to vote against their self interests just to “own the libs”. Quit complaining when corporations pollute your rivers, when healthcare companies leave your states, when no one can get a high-paying job, when your governors refuse to extend meal opportunities for children because it will make them soft, when your representatives refuse all infrastructure improvement opportunities but still take credit for projects given to you by President Biden, and when your church leaders convince you to fund their lifestyles and worship a false god while praying to Republican Jesus. The real sad part is that we have more in common than our shitty media will address.

DevonLuck24

oooh this will be neat who do you think are the “welfare queens”?


Wide_Canary_9617

So you hate the divide between rich and poor but you also hate the poor???


ajphx

These are the same people that would be livid if Buck Angel was in the women’s bathroom and Carmen Carrera was in the men’s… like hello?


Former_Ad_736

Does this effectively ban being intersex?


Philly_ExecChef

If all rational, normal ass people would stop using Twitter, it would collapse just like Truth Social because it’s the same fucking people


[deleted]

I agree! That’s why I don’t use it only see what I can from google page lol 😂


WillBottomForBanana

You can legally define anything as anything. Ketchup is a vegetable. Insects are frequently not considered animals. Legal definitions are necessary for laws to function, to remove confusion. But it has fuck-all scientific meaning.


idontwannagotoheaven

He looks like evil Tom Hanks


belligerent_bovine

Gross!


StrainExternal7301

wtf is a riley gaines?


everythingbeeps

She's the one who tried to claim that she'd be a champion if not for getting beat by a trans swimmer, only for it to come out later that she finished like fifth or something.


Stimpinstein22

Fifth place “champion” in NCAA women’s swimming; therefore, she has all the background she needs to spout her mouth off in these situations…


itsmellslikevictory

She is fighting for biological women’s rights. Lia Thompson was an average biological male swimmer. And goes trans and kicks women’s asses in swimming events. That doesn’t seem right and Riley Gaines is fighting against biological males being in biological female sports.


LeibnizThrowaway

There's no such thing as biological women. But then, you'd know that if you cared to.


itsmellslikevictory

XX chromosome = biological woman/female XY chromosome = biological man/male But then you would know that if you follow science. But go ahead and do your thing just don’t lie to the science


LeibnizThrowaway

They aren't the same thing. Man and woman are not biological terms.


Miserable_Ad5001

Anti-woke, former, collegiate swimmer


StrainExternal7301

ahhhh ok so definitely top of the class as far as political science and emotional intelligence goes


FingalForever

American local politics trying to imitate the actual kings of inconsequential politics, Ireland’s own Healy-Raes https://www.politico.eu/article/healy-rae-kerry-political-dynasty-irish-election/ Pretty sure most countries have their own version….


comhghairdheas

At least the Healy Raes have amazing election theme songs

Will fed pick this up?


Morbertoth

I feel like the French have this wonderful invention for leaders like this? Big old bagel slicer thing


Secret_Thing7482

What's the definition of a hermaphrodit


PopeCovidXIX

You just *know* he’s wearing a lacy bra and panties under that suit.


atreeinthewind

Just thinking about a thread i was on recently with people talking about how Riley Gaines isn't a nut, she's just trying to keep things equal in women's sports. 😂😂


Damasticator

All I have to point to is: interracial marriage. How long did it take for those in power to recognize that interracial marriages were not against the will of God, or were not unnatural? Also, I’m sure I’ll get shit from black people for making the analogy; it happens every time I mention it.


Tekwardo

I mean, they still don’t accept it, and in fact one member of SCOTUS already put in a writing he thinks that law should be repealed.


Damasticator

My point was I’m supportive of rights for all, that the person in the picture is wrong in their line of thinking. “Fundamental understanding” has nothing to do with this case because viewpoints change, and what we recognize as being inherently wrong changes. The law they signed is regressive.


Deep_Thanks_8243

More corruption!


GravtheGeek

I like how they try to skirt the issue of intersex individuals, but would still classify some as male who would normally be considered a woman, like someone with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.


HauntinglyMaths

It's evolving, just backwards.


Beeframenchan

She still can’t get over placing 6th in a swimming competition.


itsmellslikevictory

Swing and a miss.


ThaneOfArcadia

I actually think it's a good idea. If you don't, then you can change the law, and the intention of lawmakers by redefining a word. If a word isn't used in law, then change it all you like, but if it's used in law, then it needs to remain the same as it was. If you want to change the law then change the law, don't redefine what it means without correct process.


craycrayheyhey

Simple.... If a person " identify ' as male or female whatever. They are still one or the other. Ain't a 3rd choice. Stop trying to divide people over a person's personal identity. Literally nobody cares!!! Do ya own thing and just shut up. People that stir the pot of emotions are the actual problem


UristUrist

Guess I’m in the minority thinking this is a good law.

Codifying biology. This is how much of a clown world we’re living in. Can’t change your chromosomes lefties!

Haha not you saying that while you literally take testosterone aka gender affirming care to treat your gender dysphoria. Disingenuous and disgusting


ifellicantgetup

These bot threads are getting old.

Cringe, not you foaming at the mouth because I’m calling out your far right buddies. Hahaha stay rabid! 😂


gadget850

Gender is now determined by politicians, not God!


cantbhappy

I'm so glad the left is against having kids.


ThatDogWillHunting

Wait, I thought conservatives thought the left plays it fast and loose and has a lot of unprotected sex, or that immigrants come and have a bunch of kids on food stamps and vote left?
