cruel and unusual punishment

Not just cruel, but utterly pointless and clearly bigoted. Why would you go through all this effort just to make people miserable.

I know the cruelty is the point, but why? Why are these weirdos so obsessed with trans people (women, mostly)? The world is burning, the economy is crumbling, their citizens are dumb as fuck and THIS is what they choose to focus on...

This is attempted, pre-meditated murder in my opinion.

and no one on their side will even care. It's just cruelty for the sake of cruelty.

Sure, scapegoating is a popular and effective political tactic, though an evil one—It worked for many an aspiring dictator—but when it comes to acts like this... no one on their side is going to see it anyways. The Republican Party would be just as well off not enacting this policy. It just shows how rotten this nation's people are... Nothing the death camps and mass surveillance network hasn't shown us...

Why are these weirdos so obsessed with trans people (women, mostly)?

Welp, not that I planned to, but I guess I’m never going to Missouri again

Agreed, but did you mean celibate or celebrate?

celibate

Oh, yeah I can't relate to that sorry 🤷‍♀️

Because they're miserable and the only way they're not miserable is when they hoist themselves above others and indulge in some sadism. That's why cruelty is the point.

Patriarchs detest such, because it means they can't enslave their children. Involuntary or not, trans people can choose to procreate or not.
I’m the adopter type. So I will adopt cuties that want me to guard them. If I get pregnant, the cells need to be gene edited so I don't pass my diseases.
