Troxclair is lying. All her arguments are invalid.
There is no reason any trans woman would think to gain payment parity by presenting as a woman! Women do not get equal pay for equal work, so do not use that as an argument, Troxclair.
No trans woman would want to work in prison, so the “invasive body searches by trans woman prison guards” argument is also bullshit.
And “protecting women’s hard won achievements in sports and civil rights”is laughable, since women’s sports get a pittance in funding compared to men’s, and women lost full body autonomy with the loss of Roe v Wade.
But the elephant in the room is what will be the measure they use to prove a child is male or female?
Are we drawing blood for chromosomes on every child, or looking at their external genitalia? And if you’re using genital exam, who does that?
And unless you’re using blood draw for chromosomes, then the genital exam needs to be repeated after puberty. Boys with XY can look like girls from birth until puberty.
Every part of this discussion is invasive of children’s body autonomy.
So Troxclair’s entire argument is based on false premises, and erosion of the personal autonomy of children.
Troxclair’s saccharine delivery style and smug smile disgust me.
She needs to explain her plan for proving whether a child is boy or girl- a blood draw for chromosomes, or a genital exam?
Another unconstitutional Texas bill would allow lawsuits against anyone who manufactures or distributes abortion medication. Senate Bill 2880, which passed the Senate last week, allows anyone who manufactures, distributes, mails, prescribes or provides an abortion-inducing drug to be sued for up to $100,000. It expands the wrongful death statute to encourage family members, especially men who believe their partner had an abortion, to sue up to six years after the event, and empowers the Texas Attorney General to bring lawsuits on behalf of “unborn children of residents of this state.”
The bill has been referred to a House committee, where a companion bill faced significant pushback earlier this month.
This week is the deadline for House committees to report House bills and House joint resolutions. This bill may die if the House committee doesn't vote this week. I've made a note of it and will keep an eye out.
So if I'm out in public and want to use a public restroom it would be possible for someone to ask to see proof of gender? And what? Deny me toilet access? Arrest me if I refused?
How does any of this affect any of those stone cold women pictured?
Let's have a look at their genitals because they aren't women just because they say they are. Oh, my god!
This is worse than when they added the invasive and unnecessary probe to abortion procedures before eliminating that right all together.
As usual, your research and analysis are flawless. But the problem may be simpler. Republican legislators are obsessed with peoples' private because their voters are. So they pander to the voters, who in turn are aroused (yes, double entendre) by new evidence of their need to be protected from whatever nonsense their legislators are terrified of. It's a perfect, non-virtuous circle.
They have a fetish for this stuff (bathrooms, genitals, imagined scenarios).
They talk about protecting women, yet won't actually pursue rapists, process the backlog of rape kits, shoot down misogynistic talk (hate speech?). If they can literally shut down porn sites (Pornhub), why can't they do the same with forums that proliferate this misogyny (requiring 18+ ID at least).
The video I posted the other day of Ann Johnson taking Daniel Alders to town over banning books in the library is going viral on TikTok. Several people commented that the reason Republicans don't want teenagers to learn about their own bodies and ideas of consent is that it makes them more groomable.
I've thought about that a lot these last few days, and I think they may be right. Republican oppression over the LGBTQ community and book burning all boils down to their own repressed sexual kinks. It's sad for them, but infuriating for everyone else. I don't know how, as a society, we fix them.

These people are sick.
Truly, sick.

Yes it's repression and projection at the same time. The world has to be censored because they never learned how to deal with those feelings.
