@Badger_AF @Bronwyn @Miriamm Whoever this lord is it seems a whole bunch of people has been doing their work for a long time now. SMH @Miriamm How on earth does this person think that he should have to have a say in this? He's allowed to vote for the Klingon party on Pluto. As a resident. @Miriamm @Miriamm @donIamyrfather @Miriamm He and his are telling us when we can go to the bathroom. And where. (The lack of access to public restrooms is a known and proven mechanism to restrict general public safety for trans, NB and GNC folks, as well as a way to enforce ableism in general.) @bufalo1973 @anthk @Miriamm @failedLyndonLaRouchite @Miriamm ‘If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion." And yet, they want to make it so we can't acknowledge trans people's identity as valid, because it would be unorthodox. Hypocrisy, thy name is GOP @failedLyndonLaRouchite @Miriamm "No Federal funds may be used for the purpose of implementing, administering, or enforcing any rule…requiring an employee or contractor of any Federal agency or Department to use—(1) another person's preferred pronouns if they are incompatible with such person's sex; or (2) a name other than a person's legal name when referring to such person." @Greengordon @failedLyndonLaRouchite @Miriamm @Miriamm The headline writer forgot that Cruz's preferred self-declared pronouns are "Kiss my ass" which I would gladly respect and use if I ever had a chance to meet kiss my ass. Excellent. That said, I thought the preferred pronouns were "it". "According to its spokescreature, the senator said..." If ever anyone feels the need to mock this guy but struggle, just wait and he’ll self own. You can’t make this shit up better than republicans. @GhostOnTheHalfShell @Miriamm he tries so hard when he goes into stand-up comic mode, but it is just so cringe (and I don't ever use that word in that way, but it is the only way to describe him). Y'all never listen when I tell you that it is impossible to reach peak stupid with these folks. :) @amberage@eldritch.cafe @Miriamm@mastodon.social I would laugh so hard if the legacy media started saying cis people "identify as" their gender. @Miriamm A: Remember, the GOP only apply the first amendment when it protects their guns, unborn babies and attempts at violent coups. 😉 @Miriamm Politicians and their Hypocrisy! @Miriamm @MaryAustinBooks Kiss-my-ass (self-identified preferred pronouns for “Ted”) is a power-hungry hypocrite who should crawl back into whatever hole kiss-my-ass crawled out of. @Miriamm @MaryAustinBooks And I find it very rude that newspapers have not been using kids-my-ass’s preferred pronouns and keep misgendering kiss-my-ass (Rep. Cruz). @Miriamm what next? No nicknames? How about per names, lovers names, sweet names for kids, animals etc? We need to pointedly refer to him as Monsieur Rafael every chance we get. Until he finally admits that people want to be referred to by the name they give you @Miriamm Plus, as I have said before: The first sign that Ted Cruz sucks is that he chooses to be called "Ted" instead of his actual first name, Rafael. @wadewainio @Miriamm @Miriamm @Miriamm My name is Anthony. My family calls me Tony. I don't have a choice in that. I introduce myself to new people as Anthony. They call me Tony eventually even if introduced as Anthony. I don't have a mental breakdown when they do. I don't even correct them. I let them call me what they want, ya know why? Because I have no control over other people's words. If you believe someone should have control over others speech you belong in a woodchipper. Period. @Miriamm @Miriamm apparently it's called the "Safeguarding Honest Speech Act " and can be found here: https://www.cruz.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/KIN23435.pdf @bufalo1973 @Miriamm wouldn't that be SHIS? my favorite part is where it says "a person is defined as an individual" like that clarifies anything @Miriamm The only problem is, he definitely doesn't deserve a name as cool as Rafael. Though frankly even Ted sounds a bit too nice to him. Asshole Cruz? “I don’t know if it’s been asked but did Ted Cruz have a secret nickname in college everybody called him?” “That dick. But it wasn’t secret.” - Craig Mazin, The Last of Us Producer and ex college roommate @Haste https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/ted-cruz-preferred-name-pronouns-trans-bill-18524085.php @Miriamm senator rafael! Does your Canadian heritage influence your family life as well as your moral candor?
@Miriamm @Miriamm What you have posted is a tweet. This is not the headline of the San Antonio Express article. So if this bill passes he will probably end up being prosecuted for executing his right to use Ted, rather than Edward, i better hear every journalist and congressional colleague calling him Raphael from now on. >fascists introduce law to limit names and pronouns @Miriamm What would CONServatives like #CancunCruz have without lies, hypocrisy & projection? |
@Miriamm this is true journalism
