      FontMasterFlex, you’re clearly missing the point. It’s an unjust law that exists to keep people like her out of office. It’s another Christian right wing - sorry, I mean government - tactic to keep the other team from being allowed to play.

      It’s the same as the laws that were passed requiring abortion clinics to have 18 ft wide hallways. “We’re not banning abortion! We’re just concerned about the rights of all the 18’+ women seeking treatment!”

      Fuck unjust laws that keep people from getting into positions to overturn unjust laws.

          it was probably not put there against trans people in the first place, I’ll give you that.

          but it definitely stops trans people from getting the work without renouncing to their own identity. it’s an unjust law against trans people, there’s no discussion of that.

          it’s not like trans people aren’t aware of the law and that’s why they don’t abide, it’s because they don’t want to give up their dignity by using their dead name.
