Now is the legislature’s chance to pass legislation banning the performance of sex changes on children. Unfortunately, that is wishful thinking. Because even though the Republicans have been in charge of Texas for the last ten years or more, including throughout the course of the Save James saga, no legislation banning sex changes on children has been passed. Spineless Republicans make this crybaby excuse that "the government has no right to tell parents what to do". Except that the government in Texas is preventing the father from stopping irreversible damage being done to his son. Besides, if the government "has no right to tell parents what to do", then why do child services exist? Why are parents arrested if they don’t send their children to school?

I always hear about how Democrats are evil for pulling shit like this. Which is true. But Republicans are complicit in this. Whenever they get in, they never repeal laws that were passed by the Democrats, and they never pass laws putting a stop to the dangerous antics of shit-libs. Instead, Republicans do nothing but delay the will of the Democrats and complain that strategy does not work. Florida seems to be the only state where Republicans conserve anything - and even then their efforts are reactionary rather than proactive. And even in Florida, Republicans are cucked. Alimony reform bill gets vetoed by the governor, and the Republican legislature don’t even bother to override the veto.

I live in Ireland. We are incredibly cucked, with only a fraction of the population being switched on. But we used to be one of the most conservative countries in Europe. Until we began consuming American culture. Sure, we could have adopted gun rights, but instead we got transgenderism, political correctness, abortion and feminism. In fact, we have less gun rights now. We did at least get freer markets, though. If American culture is turning other countries liberal, and the Republicans are doing nothing about it, then what is the point of the Republicans even existing?

It's because both parties are controlled by the same people. It's the uniparty. The Democrat Party's role is to push the agenda to new territory and the Republican Party's role is to direct the resulting public dissent into a nothingburger while at the same time preventing genuine dissidents from having power.

In Ireland we have similar problems, except it is more blatant. We have two large right wing parties, and multiple smaller left wing parties. The two right wing parties are only right wing in comparison, because they are just like the Republican neocons. The small left wing parties push agendas that the right wing parties only delay. We do have one left wing party that occasionally criticises the establishment, and of course the response of the right wing parties is to call that left wing party "far right". The only party that actually speaks out against the establishment and proposes solutions to these problems is the National Party, who don’t have any representation at any government legal because the media does everything in their power to pretend the party doesn’t exist.

The TX legislature only sits for five months every other year, so January is their first regular legislative session since 2021. COVID, constitutional carry, Roe v Wade, and the border crisis were bigger TX priorities then. We will see what happens in the coming months.

Hopefully the legislature will pass a bill banning sex changes on minors this year. But I am not holding my breath.

[–]fuck_reddit 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Me as well on both counts.

pass laws putting a stop to the dangerous antics of shit-libs

That's dangerous big government action.

Just make doctors personality liable for all costs if the kid changes their mind or has complications.

Then the government doesn't have to get involved.

[–]Vulptex 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

If anyone is liable it should be those at the top who are knowingly giving bad orders, not the people merely following them.

And making someone liable is getting the government involved.

You're right.

[–]RedEyedWarrior 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I agree with that.

    When most people say that, they mean using the government to force everyone to follow "traditional morality". Which usually means outright banning everything that isn't "get married with children as soon as possible and observe gender stereotypes". Things have changed dramatically since the summer of 2020. People I know in real life used to find, for example, that the reverse sexism leftists subscribe to is a serious threat to true equality. But now those very same people will call you a leftist if you think men and women should have the same rights. They say they "WOKE up".

      It's a made-up concept. Some people are obsessed with it.

      [–]RedEyedWarrior 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      Exactly. No more sex changes for children. No more child genital mutilation either.

      It's exactly the sort of thing that the shit-libs themselves want to enact, and it's just as wrong when it's aimed at them as when it's done by them. We've seen that anything that one side puts into action will, eventually, be turned to serve the other at some point. So enacting laws meant to stop "the wrong people" from doing things is guaranteed to go bad, and in the worst possible way.

      Until we began consuming American culture.

      The war machine doesn't need boots on the ground when we can poison your minds with the internet. Why do you think DARPA let the world have it.
