I’d like Rep Landwehr to tell the parents of a trans teen who has completed suicide that their child made a “lifestyle” choice. #ksleg#shemightdoit#godihopenot
@kansansforlife There is no abortion industry, you idiots. Stop prattling on about your beliefs and show us some facts about this "industry." Ugh #ksleg
@Davis_Hammet Sen Erickson's reliance on her made up book flies in the face of all the "science" she's been touting all along. Which is it, Senator? #ksleg
Time to marry @sentymasterson to Sen. Suellentrop's troubles. The only reason he hasn't resigned is because Masterson needs his rubber stamp on the Leadership team. Soon as session ends, he'll cut him loose. #ksleg#donutboy
@HPpetition That's funny, because when I got mine on Wednesday, I didn't have to show an ID. Did you get your "I got vaccinated" sticker? Be sure to hide it when you get back to your friends, lest they think Bill Gates owns your brain now. #ksleg#haveitbothways
To be clear, I'm not talking about his amendment. I'm talking about his weird obsession with Twitter, his constant callbacks to being tedious, his efforts to turn a phrase...
@AvgKansan They're reducing the cost of getting a concealed carry license? See, it's for the poor people! Also for the 18 year-olds who'd have to pay for it with their lunch money if HB 2058 becomes law. #ksleg#lookingoutfornumber1#Kansansarenotnumber1
@DanHawkinsKS Who is asking you to do this, @DanHawkinsKS? It isn't Kansans, who overwhelmingly support Medicaid expansion. If the Feds stop paying, the program ends, that's in there. Instead of reading aloud the note you got handed, maybe read the amendment? #ksleg
@Ho8Go8L1N This isn't a zero sum game! In my opinion, you fully supporting SB208 means you are supporting a measure that will increase suicide. Your circular argument is beneath you. It takes me sad, honest, but I think we're done here. You're welcome to the last word.
@Ho8Go8L1N The selfishness at the root of conservatism astounds me. As long as they get theirs, it doesn't matter what happens to anyone else. Props of SB208 were all about cis girls getting their due. Oppo were about kids not dying. *You* are literally sacrificing one group for the other.
@Ho8Go8L1N To my mind, one side is telling cis girls that their well-being is more important than that of trans girls, while the other side is desperately trying to tell trans girls they are *as* important as everyone else. That's a big difference. I guess ymmv.
@Ho8Go8L1N And it does have an impact on trans kids who don't play sports, by telling them they are less important by virtue of something they cannot choose. And it has an impact on cis kids, by telling them trans kids are *less than*. I find that a significant impact.
