Do you really like thick girls? Or are you just talking about big boobs and ass. Cause if you’re not expecting thick girls to have tummies and big arms, I think you got the game fucked up.
HB2796 is an absolutely blatant attempt to strip away the civil rights of transgender people; and it’s absolutely fucking terrifying.
Quoting the official summary of HB2796:
This bill prohibits the word “sex” or “gender” from being interpreted to mean “gender identity,” and requires “man” or “woman” to be interpreted to refer exclusively to a person’s genetic sex, for purposes determining the meaning of federal civil rights laws or related federal administrative agency regulations or guidance. No federal civil rights law shall be interpreted to treat gender identity or transgender status as a protected class, unless it expressly designates “gender identity” or “transgender status” as a protected class.
HB2796 is currently with the Republican-majority House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice. Please, PLEASE–especially if you’re cisgender, and doubly if you’re one of their constituents–call the Representatives on the committee and explain just how much damage this will do, how many lives it will destroy, and how many legislative careers (hopefully) hinge on its passage or failure.
Committee members are:
Chairman Steve King (R-IA-04; King is also one of HB2796′s sponsors) - (202) 225-4426
Vice Chairman Ron DeSantis (R-FL-06) - (202) 225-2706
Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ-08; Franks is also one of HB2796’s sponsors) - (202) 225-4576

This bill is unfathomably mean-spirited and cruel. I don’t do a lot of “call your representatives” posts but the posts I’m reblogging states the case succinctly. are you a person who considers yourself a compassionate person who cares about doing the right thing? Then please call your reps about this bill, whose only purpose is to shame, harass, bother, and disenfranchise people who are just trying to live their lives as they see fit.
