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.

    Am loving the energy in this post! It’s so tiring that this shit is what passes for politics around here. Like half’ the fucking country seriously thinks kicking us is a worthy focus for the whole damn government? Really? REALLY? Let’s just stop and have a vote on how much we all hate those people for existing! That’ll make something better, won’t it? … Now here I am getting worked up too. Bleh. Of course those people have no concept of “better,” only hurting people they hate.

    “I hate his voice” tacked onto the end there is kinda hilarious though 🤣

    Also the initialism for the act’s name is SHSA which reminds me that “SHSR” is the IBM->HAL thing (letter-position-decrement?) for “TITS.” So I guess this bill is about TITB? … Nevermind, I’ll show myself out :P
