Reply to comment by throwawaitnine in Mayoral candidates stand in support of drag community - Philadelphia Gay News by diatriose

The ones that ban teachers from acknowledging same sex relationships exist. The ones that threaten people with felony charges for wearing clothing associated with the other gender. The ones that put children in danger if they dare to express themselves as who they are.

What law threatens people with felony charges when wearing clothes for the opposite gender.

I don't really follow this issue, what laws are you talking about specifically?

I assume they’re referring to the TN bill that just passed

>Tennessee Senate Bill 3, known as the Tennessee drag ban,[1] is an anti-drag bill, which [bans](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ban_(law)) public "adult cabaret performance" in front of children in the state of Tennessee.

Why do we have to pretend to care about this stuff???????? Aren't there more important issues we can be talking about?

Bro I ain't trolling, I have no idea what this user is talking about.

Fine but they answered you. At that point if you're still confused and you actually are interested, maybe consider a quick google search and 90 seconds of reading?

They did answer, but didn’t show any actual proof that these laws exist. Ive done a google search myself and couldn’t find anything.

Spend like 5 minutes googling "drag show ban" or "drag show bomb threat". There's plenty of news out there covering these issues

This is reaching astounding levels of absurdity. It's like I'm supposed to be outraged about something I have no ideas about and I'm treated as if it's my duty as a human being to be informed about political shit that has nothing to do with me. And I have to do all my own research, because asking for an explanation is apparently verboten.

All I want to do is agree with you about civil liberties and all you all want to do is argue about politics on Reddit.

You're accused of being a troll for not being completely up to date on current cabaret law in the state of Tennessee. These people have totally lost the plot.

Jesus Christ START following it because some of the most atrocious anti lgbtq laws have been getting passed in nearly half of all US states this past year. Try giving a shit about your fellow human beings. If you have twitter follow Erin Reed she’s covering nearly every single one of them.

Tennessee’s anti drag bill classified drag personages as lewd acts the same as stripping.

Florida’s don’t say gay bill is worded that a teacher can be punished for admitting acknowledging that same sex relationships exist.

Bathroom bills are hateful and do nothing other than to punish trans people.

Your statements about trans kids are misinformed.

Bathroom bills protect women who do not want a biological male in their bathroom. I do not understand how you think a highly impressionable child could consent to such life altering procedures and medicines.

Protect them from what?

As others have told you, your are misinformed about trans children and the medical interventions available

The bill protects women who do not want a biological male in their bathroom. Many women do not want a biological to be in such close proximity to them while using the bathroom.

Puberty blockers aren't life altering and already have extensive medical history for kids with early onset puberty. It's entirely harmless and reversible

As I understand it, they'll go through it at the rate their body produces the hormones which were blocked. It's entirely humane and a great tool in social transitioning to allow kids to explore identity if it is the route they want to go and are supported by doctors and family

NoWarButMyWar t1_jdn078x wrote

GRS is already illegal for children and blockers prevent trans kids from going through a puberty they don’t want and developing secondary sex characteristics making it harder to pass as an adult. Newsflash dipshit, if the state is intervening on peoples bodily autonomy and private medical decisions between doctor and patient it’s creeping into totalitarianism.
