Kansas outdoes itself

I agree...this is most disgusting. Whoever is there up...needs to first strip make his or family strip ..upload all that ...set it viral with morphing...that would set things straight. Little kids....insane. Not that it is alright with adults.

It is everyone's business when someone else becomes disadvantaged as a result. I could identify as poor and collect welfare, taking money from the pool of those who really need it. You and I could be competing for a job and if I put a dress on, maybe you lose out if they need a woman to fill the position and choose me. Senior communities could be filled with people who identify as old even if they are young. Slippery slopes, folks. Slippery slopes. If I want to identify as anything I want, what right do you have to single me out just because I identify as something you actually believe isn't true? Why does only one group have a right to their fantasy? Where do we draw the line and who gets to decide what's real and what's not?

@porwest I disagree with this. If the welfare is claimed by transgenders, that is when the concerned doctor needs to inspect and certify. Why kids? Why out there in open? Rather a child's birth certificate should indicate this, if it is evident. Why cause mental trauma?

You all have that law? What exactly is it?

@vandana7 — fifth amendment to the Constitution. “…nor shall (anyone) be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.”

@divalounger Is there no other way of finding out one's gender i wonder.

@allknowing how is that important here? These are children--

I don't know where this is going, but I am pretty sure it isn't good

This just makes me so angry--

My heart goes out to those kiddos who would be hurt with such things and the values they will carry forward.

Exactly. I hope it is not happening.

@LadyDuck I hope those who pass such laws have transgender kids. Then they will realize.

@vandana7 They want to protect children and they are allowing something so disgusting. I cannot believe this.

What is red state and what is blue state?

Me too Jim--but the assault on trans youth is going full bore in many states right now--

@vandana7 Blue states are Democrat majority states, like California and Oregon, red states are Republican majority like Florida.

You know what...I agree...

I think the attack on women and girls in this country is very real--this is one form of it--though the attack on transgender youth is what this bill is about in particular I think--

Yup--it is--although people will opine differently on what that means depending on what side of the aisle they prefer--

@divalounger There surely can't be any disagreement about my sentiment. A nation doesn't have all these school shootings and doorstep murders etc etc if something is not messed up I saw someone say that victims were acceptable collateral damage in order to preserve the freedoms you have.
