Fucking called it

The state is making a list of transgender Texans. It’s using driver's licenses to help.

Mark my fucking word, conservatives will start in the following years to suggest having minorities put on a registry, and will defend it under the premise of “keeping our people safe” and their base will eat it up

Genuinely what on earth could ever be the reason for this other than cops to claim gay panic when they knowingly shoot these people?

Jesus Christ. This would be an issue conservatives might jump on since it affects privacy and repurposing of data, but they won’t, because they think it’ll be limited to transgender people and will never go further than that

Doesn’t mean it’s for malicious purposes. How do you know it’s not because they want to do more wellness checks on transgender ppl or provide more support

Oh they want to get away with killing trans people. It’s that simple. And they want to be able to hunt them down

Nah conservatives don’t actually care about privacy or data. Been the case since at minimum the patriot act

I guess I mean some of the libertarian-conservative types. A bit of a dying breed though, unfortunately

- To this day conservatives defend the racially motivated killing of Ahmaud Arbery, which was found in court to be a hate crime - Knowles said transgenderism must be eradicated and received a massive applause at a TPUSA event - Ken Paxton has said he wishes to charge all LGBT people for sodomy in Texas if given power - the vast majority of trans hate crimes and killings are from right wingers But sure, I’m being dense

Conservatives will defend hate crimes, call for mass arrests, and the eradication of people. Only for some people to go “well don’t you think you’re being extreme”

I’m sure the state of Texas has nothing but the best of intentions for transgender people, as has been shown to be the case historically

“How do you know” that’s the problem. You should absolutely know what any entity, *especially* the government, is doing with your data
