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.”
I’m referring to nudity and expressing sexuality in front of children. Drag and children. Parades of expression with children involved. Seeing essentially naked men and women and children being encouraged to interact in it.
Nudity is also not inherently sexual. You can be naked for reasons outside of having sex, such as cleaning yourself, using the bathroom, changing outfits, sunbathing, relaxing, etc. None of those are inherently sexual.
Wearing drag is not sexual either. It’s been a thing for centuries, and that’s just the easily identifiable stuff.
Wearing kink gear is not inherently sexual, though I can understand that you don’t recognize that because it has connotations. But you can wear it without it being a sexual act.
“Expressing” sexuality is purposefully vague. Is kissing expressing sexuality? Is holding hands? Children do those. That would be an expression of your sexual orientation. You aren’t really making any sense.

Please spoiler tag NSFW content. Removed.
That’s NSFW content? But I thought it’s just innocent expression, safe enough for kids.
Anything that would make your boss go “WTF ARE YOU LOOKING AT??” is NSFW content. You know this. Stop with the dishonest engagement or you’ll grab a ban.
I’m not trying to have a dishonest engagement. You’re right. There’s a lot of NSFW that isn’t sexual in nature.
The engagement I was trying to have is that kids are being involved with displays of sexuality. Seeing how it’s not even a conversation to be had here is telling of the community I’m engaging with.

You really think I’m talking about locker rooms? And do I need to point out that these have been male/female seperated?
Little kids are regularly brought into opposite gender restrooms because they only have one parent with them, and can’t be left alone. Is that “sexualizing” a kid or does mommy or daddy just have to pee?
Same with trans people. Why are you republicans so fucking obsessed with genitals? It’s weird.
Bathrooms aren’t locker rooms, but again thats not what I’m even referring to. I’ve taken my daughter into men’s bathroom stalls. I could care less about your genitals. I do care about public displays of stripping, nudity explicitly revolved around sexuality, aimed with children being either the intended audience, or part of the audience. Things I’ve posted here already got removed but I’m pretty sure it’s not too hard to find examples of children watching drag strip shows.
I vote blue down the line. Get off the internet and realize that it’s not Republicans alone that have issues with pedophilia and the lines being crossed around them.
