I’ve never thrown down. The closest I ever came was in high school gym class. Got into a shoving match with the biggest delinquent in the school, who probably had 80-100 pounds on me (last time I heard about him, he was in prison). I made the calculated risk to continue with the shoving match so as not to be a wimp, knowing that the second-biggest delinquent in the school, who I got along with, was right there.

My calculation was correct and my guy stepped in and broke it up. Thank god.

He most certainly should. Maybe not by imitating Trump, but he should definitely be adjusting his behavior based on how Trump behaved. There is no norm that says the transition needs to be cordial and there need to be flattering photo shoots and meetings.

Has anyone read this shit bill?

I assume there is some carve out for taking young kids to the bathroom.

Part of the reason for leaving laws like this vague is to ensure they can be selectively enforced against the people you want to punish.

Agreed. I was just asking out of curiosity.

As currently written, there is no exception for that. The only exceptions in the proposed bill she posted to Twitter were for emergency personel attending to a emergency (so, I guess a medical incident or a fire in the restroom), and cops persuing a suspect (so, if you’re being chased by a female cop your genius plan to hide out in the mens’ room won’t work).

Hot take: I think making a big deal out of the bill is taking the bait.

I’d run a headline with “Mace supports bill that would criminalize parents changing kids in pubic bathrooms.”

That may not strategically be a great approach, but I’d still have fun with it. After all, nothing matters anyway.

The bill:

Notable comment:

Worse than that he has discriminated against intersex people in writing excluding them as people with the ability to self determine and find happiness as who they are. He has created a legal document that forces intersex people into treatments they may disagree with. This forces doctors and parents to force their intersex kids into hormone therapies and social situations that are against their will and in writing removes them as being people born with characteristics that while not the majority are not anomalous. My child does not have a defect or a deformity and I reject the idea that you can define her like this for the sake of these narrow views.

This looks like clear discrimination of a protected class of people.

Especially the risks to their healthcare.

I knew this shit would happen because these bigots know nothing about diversity in our genome and biology.

Can we sue now?

Can we rally now?

This is bullshit.

Maybe not best to use the K word for like gender identity my man

Just weird that the first casualty of Trump winning is … Matt Gaetz? Presumably he stays in the house if Trump doesn’t nominate him (although it’s possible he steps down either way).

Looks like it’s gonna be all downhill from here. But at least we had this.

Did you even bother to read the post? Did I mention gender identity anywhere? I was referencing ALL kinks. They want vanilla fucking for everyone (except most likely for themselves)

Gaetz said today he wouldn’t take his newly won term. There will be a special election to fill his seat.

Yeah the point is driven home again here when you say ALL

Not good man. Stuff like orientation or identity is not a kink

Oh I see. Youre trolling.

Cool.

You are obviously trolling him as he didn’t mention orientation but in doing so you are sort of kink shaming. You are acting like there is some bright line between orientation, identity, kink and fetish when there isn’t. No sexual researcher thinks there is. It’s a continuum. We divide them for ease of communication but it’s not at all clear someone with a strongly focussed fetish is much different from someone who identifies as strongly het/gay from someone who identifies as pan. These are not clear little boxes and acting like putting them all in the same category is insulting to one, is just weird unscientific hierarchical thinking that denigrates others.

It’s mind boggling to think what kind of money was spent on the campaign to get him re-elected only for him to walk away to avoid the ethics investigation.

Did they have to spend anything? His seat was super safe. I assume they just needed to have his name on the ballot with an R next to it and that would have been more than enough.
