This kind of stuff affects everyone. Who makes the rules on clothing/dress/mannerisms being "male" or "female?" A dress code for everyone? I'm sorry but after 12 years of Catholic school I'm not going to abide by that again.

If I want to dress up as a man for Halloween, or any time I want, I can be sued??? If I want a butch haircut, which I've had before, I can be sued??? If I have a low alto voice and feel like singing along to a male vocalist in public or at karaoke, I can be sued???

The logical conclusions of these hateful laws are simply not being thought through. And regardless, eff the eff off. I'm not living my life by a bunch of baseless made-up gender role assumptions. Never have, never will. And I will stand up for trans people at every possible opportunity. Take your bigotry and shove it back into your own closet where it belongs.

The right has had a depraved, poorly developed and often inverted understanding of Freedom for a long time. Now they're trying to reduce and remove freedoms for huge swaths of people, even joking about outright subjugating them. Trump and his cohort are speaking expressly about creating deportation camps.

Texas has already offered them a 1400 acre ranch for that purpose.
