If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

Only a single person spoke in favor of the bill. Matt Sharp, from the Alliance Defending Freedom, did so virtually from out of state.

Any group with "Freedom" in the name is pretty much guaranteed to be against actual freedom. Same with Liberty.

the liberty freedom alliance "we take liberties and your freedoms as well"

You just don't understand these words! They need the freedom to hate as they please and the liberty to take away the freedom of those people. Sheesh....

At this point they've become euphemisms for Orwellian.

It’s a rule. Like countries with “Democratic” in the name definitely aren’t

Are you trying to say that Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea might not have democratically elected Kim Jong Un with 99% of the vote???
