I guess his fondness for adult-child sex scenes didn't raise any alarms. Maybe because it was always male adult with female child, and Christian conservatives love that sort of thing.

And his whole "we men are biologically driven to rape women and should be applauded whenever we don't" schtick fits in well with the worldview.

Oh, shit, I forgot the Bio of a Space Tyrant shit. Protagonist fucks his own sister (who later dies but at "crucial" moments "when he needs her comfort" she'll appear to him when he's fucking another woman - and it's implied this is possession rather than hallucination because he's screwing his PA at one point - who is paralyzed from the waist down - and her legs wrap round him).

This was all just sci-fi shit my Mum brought back from the library because I was an avid reader and into SF, but shiiiiittttt if she'd known how fucked up a lot of these authors were.

Ron DeSantis has now made it legal to deny medical care to LGBTQ+ folks.

LGBTQ Nation said:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has signed the “Protections of Medical Conscience Act,” a law that allows healthcare providers or payors to deny service on the basis of “a conscience-based objection,” including any ethical, moral, or religious beliefs. The bill provides no definition for what constitutes a “moral” or “ethical” belief.

The law seeks to protect health care providers and payers from the “threat of discrimination for providing conscience-based health care.” However, advocates worry it’ll be used to deny LGBTQ+ people gender-affirming care, HIV-prevention medication, and other essential and life-saving care.

The law allows any medical provider — including doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, pharmacists, mental health professionals, lab technicians, nursing home workers, and hospital administrators — as well as insurance companies and payment entities, the right to deny care on the basis of any conscientious objection. This care can include refusing to conduct research and recordkeeping or denying medical tests, diagnoses, referrals, medications, and therapy, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) notes.

The newly signed law says denial of care can’t be based on a patient’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, but it provides no protections on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Additionally, the law also allows healthcare employers to discriminate in hiring and bars medical boards from disciplining doctors for spreading misinformation, essentially forcing employers to keep workers who refuse to do their jobs, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) noted.

Florida is set to arrest people in restrooms regardless of legal gender status in sweeping bill

Al.com said:

Yesterday, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida signed HB1521—a bill that would criminalize trans people from using public restrooms, effective July 1.

Introduced on Mar. 6 and sponsored by Republican Sanford area Rep. Rachel Plakon, the bill is intended to “protect children in public bathroom facilities.” Critics of the bill—now a law—deem it to be an attack on trans people.

Earlier this year in January, during an MSNBC interview with Jonathan Capehart, actress and trans advocate Laverne Cox shared her thoughts on what is behind the rising wave of attacks on trans people. “It’s always been about limiting the liberty and bodily autonomy of trans people of all ages,” she said.

HB1521 states that “females and males” must use a restroom that is “respective to their sex” as means of maintaining public safety. HB1521 puts trans people in danger of going to the restroom in public facilities because of the definitions of “sex” in the bill. Previous bills targeting trans people from using the restroom define “sex” as one that is “assigned at birth,” but HB1521 takes it much further.

The definition of “sex” in HB1521 is classified as “female and male” with “a specific reproductive role,” that is determined “by the person’s sex chromosomes, naturally occurring sex hormones, and internal and external genitalia present at birth.” What makes this extreme is that for trans people whose legal paperwork reflect their gender identity, they are still vulnerable to the bill.

Even definitions of what qualifies as public casts a wide net on which bathrooms could be a dangerous facility for trans people to use. Defined as spaces that are “owned and leased by [Florida],” restrooms that are public include airports, convention centers, schools, parks, shopping malls, stadiums, and more.

Should a trans person be reported to the facility and refuse to leave or not comply, penalties will be qualified as a trespass under Florida’s statute of Burglary and Trespass, which would incriminate a trans person up to one year. The jail will “likely [be] a jail of the wrong gender identity, which will put trans people in immense danger of sexual assault,” LGBTQ rights journalist Erin Reed wrote in her newsletter Erin In The Morning.

People using restrooms who are accused of being trans also will be obligated to undergo genitalia exams, DNA testing, and other invasive procedures.

In a video posted by Twitter user @ThoughtsFromDev last month during the HB1521 debate hearing, members of the House were on their cell phones, laughing with each other and paying no regard to Democratic Rep. Marie Woodson of House District 105 as she shared her concerns with the bill.

“This video is symbolic of how Florida politicians feel about [trans rights],” the account tweeted.

Gov. DeSantis, who posed with smiling children behind him, signed HB1521 into law yesterday among three other anti-trans laws, including a ban on gender-affirming medical care for trans youth and trans adults provided by nurse practitioners, anti-drag obscenity law, and a ‘Don’t Say Gay’ expansion law.

Yesterday also happened to be International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia. People who are LGBTQ and those who are allies to the community feel afraid and betrayed.

“This heinous and horrific move is but the latest step in a sweeping campaign of hate and discrimination by the DeSantis administration against LGBTQ+ people for crass political gain,” said Lambda Legal’s Deputy Legal Director for Policy Kristine Kippins in a press release statement yesterday. “By signing these bills on this day, Gov. DeSantis is enshrining his hateful motives into law at the cost of the needs, lives, and futures of Florida’s children.”

Ari Drennen, LGBTQ program director of nonprofit Media Matters for America took it to TikTok yesterday to voice her concerns over Gov. DeSantis’ sweeping of signing anti-trans bills. Drennen, who is trans, says that although she doesn’t live in Florida, it is a state that is meaningful to her. From going to Disneyworld with her family, visiting her grandparents in Florida, seeing her friends in Tallahassee, “It’s really scary knowing that I will never be able to safely go back to that state,” she said. “I [had] wanted to see the everglades someday.”

In another TikTok by Florida’s House District 106 candidate Joe Saunders explaining his disapproval of HB1521, a commenter echoed his sentiment, saying, “It’s hard to stay in a state that makes it dangerous to be your true self. The lax gun laws & anti-LGBTQ laws make it open season on us.”

Famed Texas Boys Choir embroiled in gender identity controversy | Fort Worth Report

Students, parents and others reached out because they were alarmed by a proposed change to the handbooks of two of the school’s esteemed choral groups, the Texas Boys Choir and the Singing Girls of Texas, that would require students to submit unaltered birth certificates. Students would only be allowed to audition or join groups that matched their sex assigned at birth.
According to the agenda, the board went into a closed session for about 30 minutes and then came out to discuss and vote on two motions regarding changes to the handbooks.
A motion to approve minor changes, like updating dates and listed board members, easily passed.
Throughout the public comment portion of the meeting, several attendees expressed concern over other proposed language, including the requirement for students to submit an unaltered birth certificate, proposed definitions of the terms boy and girl in the respective handbooks, and changing existing gender-neutral language to be gendered – like updating “singer” to “girl.”
Board moves to keep ‘traditional’ choir structure, plans survey
A second motion passed with a 4-2 vote, but board chair Daniel Bates and board member Charles Reid have sharply differing views of that motion.
“The 4-2 vote was to adopt a number of revisions, updates, changes to the handbook that would not impact the membership of either of the Texas Boys Choir or the Singing Girls of Texas,” Bates said in a call to The Report.
Bates said the board is doing an additional review of the handbook changes and gathering input. A survey from TCA+A’s “advancement team” will be completed in advance of the June 27 board meeting.
In a video of the meeting reviewed by The Report, Bates said, “The reason the executive board needs the clarifications that it made is because under the current lexicon in our language apparently there is disagreement on what a boy is and what a girl is.”
During the meeting, fellow board member Melissa Goodroe said that the board understood the sentiment in the room but that they also wanted to give people who were not in attendance and who might have different views the opportunity to weigh in.
She also stated the importance of the Texas Boys Choir’s legacy.
“To be honest with you, the schools would not exist without the Texas Boys Choir … so when it comes to making this decision it’s really more than just accommodating a few students. It’s about the organization. We want you to be in a safe place,” she said.
Board members said a survey and further “fact-finding” were in order, but in the interim, the approved motion prohibits students from joining choirs that differ from their sex assigned at birth.
Reid, who was one of the two dissenting board votes, said he opposed the motion because it would not allow nonbinary students to audition for the choir of their choosing, according to the board’s current interpretation of the status quo.
“My whole position was, let’s let the kids do what they want, let them identify as they want and leave things the way they were,” Reid, a retired lawyer and real estate agent, said. “I’m not willing to sacrifice our children on the altar of legacy.”

Board members said a survey and further “fact-finding” were in order, but in the interim, the approved motion prohibits students from joining choirs that differ from their sex assigned at birth.
Reid, who was one of the two dissenting board votes, said he opposed the motion because it would not allow nonbinary students to audition for the choir of their choosing, according to the board’s current interpretation of the status quo.
“My whole position was, let’s let the kids do what they want, let them identify as they want and leave things the way they were,” Reid, a retired lawyer and real estate agent, said. “I’m not willing to sacrifice our children on the altar of legacy.”

The local drag queens that cannot do drag bingo in the church anymore because of desantis are simply changing the event to a different fundraiser. Now it is a nice costume ball with dance lessons. Tickets already sold out.

I guess dumbsantis is going to have to ban everything to stop us.

Florida is set to arrest people in restrooms regardless of legal gender status in sweeping bill

Al.com said:

Yesterday, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida signed HB1521—a bill that would criminalize trans people from using public restrooms, effective July 1.

Introduced on Mar. 6 and sponsored by Republican Sanford area Rep. Rachel Plakon, the bill is intended to “protect children in public bathroom facilities.” Critics of the bill—now a law—deem it to be an attack on trans people.

Earlier this year in January, during an MSNBC interview with Jonathan Capehart, actress and trans advocate Laverne Cox shared her thoughts on what is behind the rising wave of attacks on trans people. “It’s always been about limiting the liberty and bodily autonomy of trans people of all ages,” she said.

HB1521 states that “females and males” must use a restroom that is “respective to their sex” as means of maintaining public safety. HB1521 puts trans people in danger of going to the restroom in public facilities because of the definitions of “sex” in the bill. Previous bills targeting trans people from using the restroom define “sex” as one that is “assigned at birth,” but HB1521 takes it much further.

The definition of “sex” in HB1521 is classified as “female and male” with “a specific reproductive role,” that is determined “by the person’s sex chromosomes, naturally occurring sex hormones, and internal and external genitalia present at birth.” What makes this extreme is that for trans people whose legal paperwork reflect their gender identity, they are still vulnerable to the bill.

Even definitions of what qualifies as public casts a wide net on which bathrooms could be a dangerous facility for trans people to use. Defined as spaces that are “owned and leased by [Florida],” restrooms that are public include airports, convention centers, schools, parks, shopping malls, stadiums, and more.

Should a trans person be reported to the facility and refuse to leave or not comply, penalties will be qualified as a trespass under Florida’s statute of Burglary and Trespass, which would incriminate a trans person up to one year. The jail will “likely [be] a jail of the wrong gender identity, which will put trans people in immense danger of sexual assault,” LGBTQ rights journalist Erin Reed wrote in her newsletter Erin In The Morning.

People using restrooms who are accused of being trans also will be obligated to undergo genitalia exams, DNA testing, and other invasive procedures.

In a video posted by Twitter user @ThoughtsFromDev last month during the HB1521 debate hearing, members of the House were on their cell phones, laughing with each other and paying no regard to Democratic Rep. Marie Woodson of House District 105 as she shared her concerns with the bill.

“This video is symbolic of how Florida politicians feel about [trans rights],” the account tweeted.

Gov. DeSantis, who posed with smiling children behind him, signed HB1521 into law yesterday among three other anti-trans laws, including a ban on gender-affirming medical care for trans youth and trans adults provided by nurse practitioners, anti-drag obscenity law, and a ‘Don’t Say Gay’ expansion law.

Yesterday also happened to be International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia. People who are LGBTQ and those who are allies to the community feel afraid and betrayed.

“This heinous and horrific move is but the latest step in a sweeping campaign of hate and discrimination by the DeSantis administration against LGBTQ+ people for crass political gain,” said Lambda Legal’s Deputy Legal Director for Policy Kristine Kippins in a press release statement yesterday. “By signing these bills on this day, Gov. DeSantis is enshrining his hateful motives into law at the cost of the needs, lives, and futures of Florida’s children.”

Ari Drennen, LGBTQ program director of nonprofit Media Matters for America took it to TikTok yesterday to voice her concerns over Gov. DeSantis’ sweeping of signing anti-trans bills. Drennen, who is trans, says that although she doesn’t live in Florida, it is a state that is meaningful to her. From going to Disneyworld with her family, visiting her grandparents in Florida, seeing her friends in Tallahassee, “It’s really scary knowing that I will never be able to safely go back to that state,” she said. “I [had] wanted to see the everglades someday.”

In another TikTok by Florida’s House District 106 candidate Joe Saunders explaining his disapproval of HB1521, a commenter echoed his sentiment, saying, “It’s hard to stay in a state that makes it dangerous to be your true self. The lax gun laws & anti-LGBTQ laws make it open season on us.”

Something like this

A lesbian cisgender women is escorted out of the women’s bathroom by (MALE!) police because a Karen called the cops on her think she was a man. Bathroom transvestigations are only about enforcing gender conformity. Nothing else.

https://twitter.com/KarbonSays/status/1659966632926801920?s=20

This was a bathroom full of cisgender women, invaded by male police to take a cisgender woman out of the women’s bathroom because she wasn’t wearing womanly enough clothes. It has nothing to do with biology.

I am going to report every performative male as trans once this hits. I want the cops to do a genital inspection on every trump mal I see in the men's room. It will be just like prison where you have to get naked in front of the corrections officers. I want a good look at those cocks boys because I do not believe they are down there.

Tererune · May 21, 2023

does anyone know where I can get a T-shirt that says Florida Desantis Cock Inspector? I am going to need to squeeze them nuts to make sure they are real because we wouldn't want to be fooled by a prosthedick.

be careful what you wish for because republicans know not what they create.
