Tennessee will be hearing SB0603 this week.
It literally calls DEI an "ideology" and bans healthcare providers and schools from enacting DEI policies.
They're literally trying to legislate away diversity.
@sniffdodoubleg@Thrillhouse138@nycsouthpaw@jonathanchait Are you even capable of making a good or meaningful point? If you think lobotomy victims are incapable of experiencing regret, then by your own admission there’s a stark difference between lobotomy and every medical procedure of today. Your comparison is noxious garbage.
The id of 21st century politics here: a man who took the trust placed in him by his colleagues and the public and turned it into an opportunity to stomp giggling like a bastard upon the poor and different, then impregnate a Tory heiress who wrote for the Spectator.
You regularly see blue tick types complaining that politics has become incredibly nasty, and very few noticing that it’s because our parliament and political press is absolutely rammed with deeply unpleasant and nasty people who behave horrendously all the time.
Idaho has just passed a drag ban through it's State House.
The ban is on "sexually provocative dances or gestures" while wearing "accessories that exaggerate male or female characteristics."
It is a bounty hunter law like Texas' abortion ban.
The vagueness will be weaponized.
Texas has released a bounty hunter drag ban.
$5,000 bounty for hunters if a person performs while "exhibiting a gender that is different from gender recorded at birth" and "violates the community standards of decency."
Anti-abortion techniques now target drag and trans people.
@flying_rodent It really does bear repeating how deranged it is that a football pundit who presents a weekly highlights show is now public enemy #1 and being harassed by the 24 hour news cycle just because he made a mildly critical post about the Tories on a American online message board
@sniffdodoubleg@Thrillhouse138@nycsouthpaw@jonathanchait But it certainly is true that denying patients desperately wanted and needed treatment (so, not lobotomies or electroshock therapy, in case the penny still hasn’t dropped) and letting them suffer the physical consequences is a kind of torture. One you seem to favour.
@sniffdodoubleg@Thrillhouse138@nycsouthpaw@jonathanchait The real question is why someone unable to fathom the difference between these very obviously different medical procedures imagines they have the wits to contribute anything to this topic.
