House Bill 446 in Montana establishes two indecent exposure laws: one for the general public that requires intent, and another for trans people that does not.
Because hating black people became a losing strategy, so they switched to hating gays. But hating gays became a losing strategy, so they switched to trans people. If you look at what the extremists say about trans people, you’ll find the exact same things being about gay people before them, and black people before them.
The one comforting fact about that is that each of those groups are smaller than the one previous: there are more Black Americans than gay Americans, and there are more gay Americans than trans Americans. As each group gains wider cultural acceptance, the fascists have to target smaller and smaller groups to keep the hate that unites them going.
Eventually we’ll see this same bigotry directed towards left-handed Thursday sock-knitters.
