I just heard about house bill 2796 a bill that has recently been proposed and I’m pretty fucking scared by it.
The gist of the bill is this:“This bill prohibits the word “sex” or “gender” from being interpreted to mean “gender identity,” and requires “man” or “woman” to be interpreted to refer exclusively to a person’s genetic sex, for purposes determining the meaning of federal civil rights laws or related federal administrative agency regulations or guidance.“
This is some scary ass shit and we need to fight it with whatever we can, every step of the way.
that “genetic sex” bit really makes it obvious the people responsible have no idea what they’re doing and are all the more dangerous because of it.
The bill is before the House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice. Of the eight representatives on the committee two are sponsors of the bill. The members of the committee are:
Steve King (Iowa 4) (Sponsor)
Ron Desantis (Florida 6)
Trent Franks (Arizona 8) (Sponsor)
Louie Gohmert (Texas 1)
Karen Handel (Georgia 6)Steve Cohen (Tennessee 9)
Jamie Raskin (Maryland 8)
Jerry Nadler (New York 10)Information current as of July 16th.
