Die Gouverneurin von Kansas, Laura Kelly, legt ihr Veto gegen den Gesetzentwurf zur „Badprämie“ gegen Transsexuelle ein

Republicans truly are perverted psychopaths.

Every place that has passed a law like this has already had problems with women who don’t look „feminine“ enough being harrassed.

And the MAGA heads will explode when they see a trans-man with a full beard going into the women’s bathroom, which is exactly what their dumbass law says he has to do.

What’s changed in America isn’t the right to hold whatever belief you want about others, to control your own life, your own space, etc. It’s that the right-wing wants to not have to experience people they dislike in the public space, so we see governmental intervention in providing them that comfort. We all have people we’d prefer not to be around and you may not welcome them into your home. I don’t extend that to believe I should have a say in who gets to ride the bus, walk the street, or use the bathroom. But this is a different America in 2026.

Wait wait wait, you mean to tell me the GOP is obsessed with other people’s genitals?!? Color me surprised!

Can they run for president?

I’m relieved, but it’s extremely concerning to see bills like this pass and gain traction. I’ve had it with “transvestigation.” My younger sister who is female, identifies female, and loves females so fucking much she chooses to only date them, was scolded BEFORE the anti-woke, anti-trans era for going to a women’s restroom because some lady thought she didn’t look womanly enough. She was 17. Some freak was harassing a juvenile because she didn’t look the right way. She was so timid and shy at the time I don’t even know how she confronted it. Instances like that have and will increase. I don’t worry about trans women in my bathroom, I worry about them in the men’s rooms. And the whole “men will pretend to be women to get into women’s restrooms,” tells me one thing… the problem is still MEN. Not trans individuals.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Republicans have a veto proof supermajority in the legislature here, so this isn’t over yet unfortunately, and it remains pretty likely this will become law 🙁

Obviously, it’s a stupid and bigoted bill, but this part in the article made do a double-take:

>“This poorly drafted bill will have numerous and significant consequences far beyond the intent to limit the right for trans people to use the appropriate bathroom,” she wrote. “Under this bill: If your grandfather is in a nursing home in a shared room, as a granddaughter, you would not be able to visit him. If your wife is in a shared hospital room, as a husband, you would not be able to visit her. If your sister is living in a dorm at K-State, as a brother, you would not be able to visit her in her room.

I had to go take a look at the bill text, and she’s right:

>(4) “Multiple-occupancy private space“ means a facility designed or designated for simultaneous use by more than one individual and in which an individual may be in a state of undress in the presence of another individual, regardless of whether the facility provides curtains or partial walls for privacy. „Multiple-occupancy private space“ includes, but is not limited to, a restroom, locker room, changing room or shower room…

So, yeah, nursing home, hospital rooms, and dorm rooms are all multi-occupancy private spaces. This is what happens when Republican legislators try to be clever, and just… aren’t.
