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.”

    Might as well define the Earth as flat and the Moon as green cheese while he’s at it.

    Do these fuckers have literally nothing else to do than wage wars against reality?

      They are going to need something to distract from the economic misery all the dumbfucks voted for are going to be getting (along with everyone else).

      I mean, if donvict really does tariffs and deportations, we are going to be in the Great Depression 2.0.

      Punching down on trans (and gays/lesbians, and POC, and women, and non-xtians, and liberals, and foreigners that they aren’t already deporting) and doing stupid things like trying to get “the” bible being taught in our schools will become priority #1 if the economy goes totally pear-shaped.

      Maybe a strategy to distract the masses while they and their supporters handlers steal the country blind.

          Yes, because “the” bible.

          That’s the level of idiocy we are dealing with. These people have always been among us, and refuse to learn shit. They insist their kids are at LEAST as stupid as they are, lest they claim others are “indoctrinating” their kids with the “woke” agenda and other such nonsense - the terms have changed, the Birchers used other terms for it, like “Communist agenda”, the hatriots in the 90s used terms like “political correctness”, the teabaggers continued to talk about “political correctness”, the qanon types whine about “DEI” and “being woke” and getting “cancelled”.

          These people are all the same - qanon crazies == teabaggers == hatriots == Birchers. Only some of the labels have changed.

      It keeps us divided. It misdirects the anger of their base towards something other than how badly they are being fucked.

      Never attribute that to malice which can be adequately explained by stupidity… Unless it comes from the mouth of a Republican politician.

      I came here to ask this - it seems a very curious mechanism for lowering the price of eggs and reversing inflation back to the halcyon days of donvict’s first term:

        1. First, punch down on trans.
        1. ???
        1. Eggs become like a penny each! Premium gas is 50 cents a gallon!

    I kind of feel like all this spawned from some hot trans-girl turning down one of these shitstains and they’ve never let it go.

    We need media stepping up the messaging that the Right is infatuated with the genitals of people, especially children. Outside of maybe your Dr. (and/or partner), nobody should be talking about, or caring about your genitals to the degree the Right is in this pervy/pedo crusade of late.

    We really need to start saying that these people want their own family members killed. It seems to be the only thing that can get some people to listen

    Someone should establish a Department of Senate Efficiency to look into whether that is an efficient use of the senates time.

    They’re not even replacing anything, they’re just adding to it. Why do ya’ll even care. Life is already so fucking miserable, even worse when you feel like you’re not even in the right body. Fucking help people. Why is it that seemingly every politician just hates people? Why go out of your wait to be a representative just to make people miserable.

      Because picking on ever smaller societal minority classes makes them look hard on the issues. Torturing people that otherwise don’t effect you is easy political points for heartless monsters representing imbeciles.

      Exploiting hatred instead of trying to resolve hatred really.

    “As a physician who has delivered over 5,000 babies, I can confidently say that politicizing children’s gender to use them as pawns in their radical woke agenda is not only wrong, it is extremely dangerous" has got to be the most unaware sentence I’ve ever seen.

    He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.”

    bill attempts to stop something that was never occuring

    Holy shit, it worked and it hasn’t even been signed yet.

    I don’t know about y’all but I don’t remember Kamala or Biden directly spreading information in favor of lgbtq+ values. That’s mostly been Hollywood. There might be some lobbying going on and some shoulder rubbing, but… I mean, I have yet to even hear Biden say the word trans in any real context unless I’m wrong, here. Their stance is less a stance and more of a “you’re human, you’re cool too”.

    But the scene does seem to be that the Republican party can just claim they stopped Kaijus and Holy wars and their fanbases will eat it up, so…

    “Hey, my podcast said you didn’t exist yesterday.”

    …sorry to disappoint you.

      That is the irony - there is a huge set of butthurt incels that are deeply incensed about what they see happening in culture. They seem to think it has been legislated. Honestly, part of me does wonder if big money is behind trying to annoy just enough of these types to tip things in the favor of the big money party - the Republicans.

      Huge companies like Disney seem to almost be setting money on fire to do this…and it has zero to do with Democrats. It also seems to be making more Republicans with the sanctimonious aspect of it all. Representation is one thing, but some of this almost seems like its goes out of its way to give the finger to people that are otherwise kind of apolitical, thus radicalizing them and they blame Democrats for it all…and there is a ready set of Youtube “influencers” set up to get them agitated and outraged about all this, funneling them right into the douchebag universe of angry bros.

    No-one is “replacing biological sex” silly.

    Gender is different from sex. It’s related, but separate.

    Imagine if we had a senate that was focused on real political and social issues instead of who has the “right” to go to the bathroom. Fucking nonsense.

    Ya know, this “guy” goes by the name Roger and wears a suit and tie - why I bet he uses the “mens” bathroom… but how do we even know he’s “male”? No seriously, how do we know he’s not secretly just using the “mens” to try to assault/molest/peep on other alleged “men”?

    I mean, if he’s defining “male” then what follows, clearly, are inspections. He should not be exempt from them but, if he truly has nothing to hide, should be willing to be first in line.
