Governor Abbott strikes again…
He’s passed Bill 229, cynically called the "Women’s Bill of Rights Act" (no, not the right to reproductive choices).

@LordShadowfire 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@LordShadowfire I have friends I’ve known for 30+ years, old school feminists, some but not all are bi or lesbian (so they do support the LGBTQ community). I can tell you what their concerns are. I used to agree with much of it before I educated myself a bit.
It’s pretty basic; what they believe is that a person with a penis is male, unequivocally. And potentially a danger to people without penises. Some of my friends have been victims of sexual assault, and they value "women only" spaces. So they see people with penises "infiltrating" such spaces as problematic.
I see affiliating oneself with the right, who also wants to take away rights from cis women, gays and lesbians, as even worse.

@bijouxbroussard I didn't say I didn't understand the reasoning. The problem with it is, the logic doesn't logic.

@LordShadowfire Fear (for whatever reason), often overrides logic.
