As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Lol she ignored trans people completely, leading voters to think she was hiding something. The consultant class Dems currently use is just rancid at politics.

The $137 million was "...meant for programs aimed at minority students" before being redirected to this bullshit. Just more brazen white supremacy as the MAGA project of re-segregation continues unabated.

The bill demands a massive censorship apparatus managed by the Attorney General, along with a tip line where people can identify trans, drag, GNC or "other pornographic content" for prosecution. www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/20...

We got here because the "War on Porn" was largely undefended, except by those in the trenches already. Across the country, states have been able to pass dozens of dubious age-verification mandates, the precursor to initiatives like this. This won't pass, but it moves the window.

While this seems implausible (and I believe this law is), it shouldn't be a surprise: it was literally in the first few pages of Project 2025, which called for everyone from websites to comcast to school teachers to be prosecuted for distributing "transgender ideology."

The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act," intro'd by Rep. Schriver, is unlikely to go anywhere. But it does have 5 co-sponsors— a ludicrous bill is backed by 20% of Republicans in the MI House. That's not nothing. Republicans are telling you what they would do if they could get away with it.
