It’s against a small minority, like all the laws against trans people, how many people are we actually talking about here that they need to get this exercised about it. I’m thinking that these idle so-called lawmakers just have it too good. While they rail against the economy, they have time to do this shit. Shouldn’t they be working at their “two or three jobs they need to have to make ends meet“

I just wanted to put the numbers out there. I would bet that they all have other better paying jobs also.
