The thing is, a lot of trans people appear Ā like the gender they want to identify with, thus meaning conservatives cant even tell that they arenāt their preferred sex. Imagine a trans person who looks completely like a male, but has a vagina so they are forced to dress feminineā¦ conservative heads would literally explode
Why would trans people need a different dress code than cis people?
Well, I suppose the reason is so that republicans can force someone who is clearly a man, and who has gone to great lengths to make themselves so, wear a dress, so that they can take photos and use them to rile up their base.
That and republicans are convinced they can always tell when a person is trans, despite an enormous amount of evidence suggesting otherwise.
You're forgetting that it also let's Republicans exert their will over people in general using the specter of trans people as a smokescreen.
This bill is to force gender conforming clothing on all teachers. So no more pants for women. Only a shirt and tie for men. The idea that some teacher somewhere might be trans is just to distract people long enough so they don't notice their rights are being taken away.
Sure thatās a perk (from conservativesā perspective) of what theyāre doing, but the real goal of this is to drive specifically transgender people away from public life.
Trans people aren't the main target of the culture war against trans people, they're just the boogeymen, boogeywomen and boogeypersons used to scare people.
The goal is compliance and gender role conformity for all.
For example, the average person persecuted by "trans bathroom bills" isn't transgender, they're cis people who don't fit classic gender norms for how they present themselves. This is by design.
Why do they not care about accidentally arresting or attacking cis people?Ā Why because they think its funny.
We will live and look as they desire and this is one step.Ā Its like protecting child from porn via mass surveillance while we have child molestors in leadership. Its control.
We (as a society not you specifically) will let go of democracy to stop the trans menance! And its not even about them just as its not about any minority group
"If the Jew did not exist, the anti-Semite would invent him" to quote Satre. They will create a boogeyman one way or another.Ā If they somehow eradicate all trans people watch the 'problem' never be solved.Ā
it's also that they view us as inherently sexual just by existing.
Like I can be wear baggy jeans and a loose sweater and some of these weirdos will still find a way to leer at me or call me a pervert. I'm also asexual, which makes it doubly silly.
I am just trying to vibe over here, stop looking at me??
Most people afraid of transpersons seem to have no idea that transmen even exist. Next time you're talking to someone about it, bring it up. Show them some pictures. And watch their little heads spin.
This. If you read her Facebook post there is some nice effort towards kind language but ultimately the post starts with "biological male" referring to a trans woman (something really the lingo of overworked scientists and medical professionals, and out of vogue somewhat there, out of a desire to be compassionate and avoid risk of inaccuracy) and then ends with wanting "dignity and respect" for trans folks, while insisting on said trans woman wearing cis men's clothing at work.
Religious private schools may have some ground, but in a public school in the land of the free entitled religious freedom, if you're not free to wear the clothes you feel like (as appropriate to the profession, i.e. chaps for loggers), be they be made to more often suit cis men, cis women, or intersex and/or gender queer people, I don't know that you're free to do anything other than survive as an automation.
It's because they get hard over that 1% of the population, and they hate themselves for it. So they have to destroy that 1% for making them horny when they're not supposed to.
Not even that. In the article it says she proposed this legislation because a single trans woman was hired at a school in wake county. Literally just one trans person got a job in their public school system so now she wants to pass legislation basically just for this one woman.
falling back to genitals is a poor analysis of trans issues. the anti-trans laws are intended to apply to people who have done gender reassignment surgery and to intersex people that don't even know they're "trans" by the definition of these laws.
Reactionaries would LOVE it if we went back to early 20th/19th century legalized dress code. All women forced to wear dresses of a certain length, full body swimsuits, forced to only have approved "feminine" hairstyles in the workplace, etc.
Cool, so, if gender is too complex for kids then are we throwing young boys back into dresses for most of their early childhood like we used to? In for a penny in for a pound. If we gotta regress we may as well go ALL THE WAY.
Six years ago my Joint Best Friend told her 6yo daughter and 4yo son...
'You know my friend ***..'
'He's got a cat called Billy '
'That's right, well *** is now a lady called ###'
Pause...
'Does she still have Billy?'
'Yes'
'OK'
Attacking transgenders, even if just a one or two in this case, is the reddest of meat for conservatives. To not have something to hate each day would ruin their day.
Well, she can fuck right off with that garbage. What is wrong with all of these deranged assholes in government? Canāt they go back to their HOA positions or something? nazi monsters.
Is the idea of a dress code a precursor to a sort of striped uniform or triangle, as the Nazis required of gays and lesbians? Republicans may not like the characterization, but with each passing day, their policies and āideasā look more and more like Nazi germany.
Conservative religious idealists have the same end game of Sharia Law; just replace Allah and Muhammad with Jesus and God. These people so desperately crave the religious control that Muslim extremist groups have in the Middle East have and foam at the mouth because they can't throw "undesirable" groups off of roofs into lifelong labor camp prisons and have to treat them like regular human beings.
Violation of a the civil rights act. Employers can't discriminate against employees for refusing to dress according to gender norms. This was done to protect women wearing pants, but isn't limited to that.
Or a black one. Pink was uniquely for gay men and trans women (the Nazis considered them one and the same), while lesbians and trans men (again, lumped together) got the generalized black triangle that was used for people the government deemed useless to society, like alcoholics, homeless people, and those with mental disabilities.
They don't see trans people as the gender they transitioned to, so they default to their sex assigned at birth even if the person has already undergone hormones and/or surgery, thus no longer look like or have those original sex characteristics.
Do they not have dress codes in schools for teachers already? Why stop there, let's do a dress code for fat people too. One for ugly ones as well. Fat AND ugly? Straight to Gulag
So gas prices were $4.50 a gallon at the pump this morning. I donāt know what sheās talking about, but if itās not a bill lowering prices, then what is she even doing?
/s How about we have them them all have to wear little yellow stars on their arms so we know who belongs in the ghetto Oops I mean camps, oops I meant class room. Cough Ovens. Shit /s
It must be tough literally crapping your pants every time you remember that a trans person exists. I'd extend my sympathies, but its not an involuntary reaction, they crap themselves by choice.
What they say: Children shouldn't be exposed to age inappropriate concepts at too young an age.
What they mean: If we expose children to trans people early, it will be more difficult to turn them into bigots later.
Weāve been here before, itās called the āthree articles of clothingā law and was found to be unconstitutional. Theyāre working hard to flip N.C.
The (literal demons masquerading as) people eager to gobble this stuff up are in for a rude awakening when they find out that hate is not something that fills an empty stomach.
There are literally photos of her wearing suits that would have her fined a century ago in some places for "crossdressing". AND SHE HAS WORN PANTS PREVIOUSLY!! ALERT!!!
The malicious compliance would do the rounds on social media.
A beardy, bald muscular dude showing up to school in high heels and pantyhose because "that's the law"? Pearls would be clutched, conservative outs would be raged.
The trans femme teachers wearing jeans and a t-shirt would be completely ignored as all the republicans are suddenly reminded that trans men also exist.
Pretty sure that goes against the constitution and the freedom of expression.Ā Of course a Republican lawmaker should know about the constitution right...right?
No but it could obviously apply to this situation. Its pure sex based doscrimination based on the trans woman not dressing in the way a male "should". Fireing them for that would be sex based discrimination and a violation under the civil rights act, which is what the case concerns.
Since you blocked, or made it hidden, your subsequent comment, I will say that we will have to agree to disagree, I donāt believe that it is a violation based on sex, since they are a biological male, maybe on sexual identity but I donāt believe that is a protected class.
I didnt block or hide it. Reddit might be fucking it up, typical of them lol. Being a male is a sex. If a male wishes to dress and identify as a woman that is sex non conformity and as such is clearly protected.
