Lmao, what losers, like they could do anything to build support among their voters and they’re out here trying to gin up support by stoking transphobia.

MODERATORS
They are the party if fear of anyone different, so if they started being accepting then they wouldn't be able to demonize the Dems.
It won't pass, but it's a reminder of what they will do when in power.
Please vote.
I work in the public sector myself (though in a different country). I constantly find myself wondering if this is in my future too.
If you're in Europe, then with the way things are going in a lot of countries here, I wonder the same.
Here in Spain we just got a progressive left leaning coalition government... that right the other day split into a "trans-inclusive feminist march" and a "trans-exclusive feminist march", with the populist right-wing addon march of "the country is breaking apart".
Which got the most support? I've been very impressed with the political landscape of Spain. I'm planning on moving to Barcelona as soon as I have citizenship where I am now.
It's complicated. There were about 2-3x as many people on the trans-supporting ones, but they were organized by the minority parties in the governing coalition, while the majority parties in the governing coalition were on the no-trans ones. Meanwhile, almost 50% of the population voted right-wing and populist extreme-right, who also organized some marches with about 1/10th the people. So it's hard to say which side has actually more support. It also wasn't a vote, so some of the same people could have been to more than one march 🤷
If you come to Barcelona in the following year or so, you'll also have to deal with the Catalonian nationalist separatists, who are an orthogonal split to everything else, and right now it isn't really clear what they want (not to be part of Spain, not to be ruled by the King, but stay part of the EU, maybe just get a separate representation in the EU, but the EU is pushing towards a federal structure... it's also complicated).
A good reminder for folks to get their passports and birth records corrected post haste. Don’t be afraid to seek assistance and/or mutual aid for the cost.
IANAL but legal documents should retain validity under Article I (ex post facto) so long as you pre-empt legislation barring gender amendment.
If you want to be extra proactive, make sure your medical records reflect the correct gender and your providers use the male/female hypogonadism diagnosis.
Plan for the worst and hope for the best.
I keep trying to vote Cruz out, but no matter how many times I smash the button it only counts one vote.
Have you tried committing election and voter fraud like the Republicans?
