Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced a bill that would limit the use of preferred names by trans people.
The irony, critics point out? The senator, whose legal name is Rafael Edward Cruz, uses a preferred name himself: Ted.

    I say that we embrace the wishes of people like Cruz, Boebert, Greene, etc and not use personal pronouns for them.

    Example, “Cruz introduces bill to limit using preferred names, pronouns; critics note it uses a preferred name.”

      I’ll have you know that Ted Cruz is not a genderless insectoid in a human meat suit, and therefore is offended by being called “it.” Ted Cruz’s preferred pronoun is “Z’fTckli’”
