Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to legally erase transgender people, entitled the ā€œDefining Male and Female Act of 2024.ā€ He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administrationā€™s attempt to ā€œreplace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.ā€

The bill is a long list of terms and definitions, where words like ā€œfatherā€ and ā€œgirlā€ are defined with the words ā€œmaleā€ and ā€œfemale.ā€ Those two words are then defined as ā€œan 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.ā€

        Yes, because ā€œtheā€ bible.

        Thatā€™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 ā€œindoctrinatingā€ their kids with the ā€œwokeā€ agenda and other such nonsense - the terms have changed, the Birchers used other terms for it, like ā€œCommunist agendaā€, the hatriots in the 90s used terms like ā€œpolitical correctnessā€, the teabaggers continued to talk about ā€œpolitical correctnessā€, the qanon types whine about ā€œDEIā€ and ā€œbeing wokeā€ and getting ā€œcancelledā€.

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