Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to legally erase transgender people, entitled the “Defining Male and Female Act of 2024.” He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.”
The bill is a long list of terms and definitions, where words like “father” and “girl” are defined with the words “male” and “female.” Those two words are then defined as “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes [sperm or eggs for male or female, respectively] for fertilization.”
Glee? What glee? I’m just pointing out that some people were saying they wouldn’t vote for Harris because she didn’t talk about the issue close to their heart specifically and in the end they’ll be part of the reason why things will get worse for them. Fuck around and find out works both ways and I hope that will be a lesson for them.
