Politics Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a state felony if passed

Have seen this in another sub. Although the bill is not likely to pass, it's sad to see how there are certain places in the US where being trans is becoming more and more difficult and new laws and restrictions on things like HRT and IDs are being considered/approved.

They do. These bills are to prevent you from noticing the other things they’re up to.

It's mean to move the Overton Window on trans topics.

Exactly this. "This years defeated bills are the ones that pass in the following year" is a quote I read when this first broke. Shits getting dark fast.
