That's fascism.

I remember the days of old when pointing out that fascism was taking root in America was met with mocking ridicule.

And now it is simple fact.

They always need a minority to persecute.

Texas is a Nazi state.

That's the goal of this holocaust. It's not about extermination. The enemies of the state will be shuffled into for-profit prisons, where they will become slave labor.

Its more about not allowing trans people to be visible. Pretty much the same as 10 years ago.

Which is odd, because they will be very visible in those orange jumpsuits. Jokes aside, profit will be scraped from their very bones before the end.

Make sure you're acquiring forms of self defense, and training. I recommend something that is visible, like a rifle, and something that cannot be disarmed, like muay thai.

Does anyone know how fond Caitlyn Jenner is of Texas?

Couldn't you just identify as the gender you transitioned to? What a waste of time and tax dollars

These chucklefucks are literally threatening butch lesbians for looking like dudes. Theyre trying to roll back progress.

Theyre trying to roll back progress.

It's a little more insidious than that. They'd be more than happy to unalive anyone they don't like. And this is a step in that direction.
