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.”

        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.
