Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced a bill that would limit the use of preferred names by trans people.
The irony, critics point out? The senator, whose legal name is Rafael Edward Cruz, uses a preferred name himself: Ted.
Wow, now THAT will solve most of our country’s problems, right, y’all? Fucking piece of shit useless mother fucker. I hate his weasly voice.
He’s the kinda guy that leaves his tube socks on and pulls his pecker out of his whitey tighties before fucking his wife with the lights off.
Correction, he’s the kind of lizard that eats a rat while the humans aren’t looking.
The majority of people who support and parrot shit like this aren’t even doing it because they think it’s somehow good for the country, they just think it’s something that needs to be fixed because some ignorant piece of shit on FOX News or the like told them it was bad, and we should all be mad about it.
I can’t imagine being so fucking bored and miserable with my life, that the sheer THOUGHT of someone else being happy and comfortable… or even just not sad and miserable in their own life, that I’d feel obligated to dedicate what precious time I have on this earth to ruining everything for everyone.
I agree with you - Ted Cruz is an absolute piece of shit, but the people who feel driven to support these types of policies and bills etc. are truly vile human beings.
Am loving the energy in this post! It’s so tiring that this shit is what passes for politics around here. Like half’ the fucking country seriously thinks kicking us is a worthy focus for the whole damn government? Really? REALLY? Let’s just stop and have a vote on how much we all hate those people for existing! That’ll make something better, won’t it? … Now here I am getting worked up too. Bleh. Of course those people have no concept of “better,” only hurting people they hate.
“I hate his voice” tacked onto the end there is kinda hilarious though 🤣
Also the initialism for the act’s name is SHSA which reminds me that “SHSR” is the IBM->HAL thing (letter-position-decrement?) for “TITS.” So I guess this bill is about TITB? … Nevermind, I’ll show myself out :P
Him eating his booger on the debate stage still makes me gag uncontrollably if I see the clip, and if it pops into my head sometimes I’ll start gagging, which is pretty much every time I see his name
There are very few things that make me gag in disgust, this one gets me every time

conservatives pick the weirdest most inconsequential hills to shit their pants on
Step 1: Pick an issue that is divisive*
Step 2: Boost it with stories about how bad the people on the wrong side are: won’t someone think of the children?
Step 3: Watch the outrage donations roll on in
It’s a playbook as old as time.
*Some people might call it divisive because one side is like “let’s all become crabs and live in the ocean” vs the other side that’s like “no let’s continue using our opposable thumbs”. But who am I to label whether one side is right and the other wrong?
Look, we don’t get to choose if we want to be crab people, nature has just forced crab evolution on us
Look, I don’t care what you do in the privacy of your own bathtub, but other people have to use the ocean and I don’t want you putting any funny ideas in my kid’s head about being a crab. His chitinous exoskeleton and claw are just a phase.
I think it is due to it not really being any loss for them if they fail to get something like that passed. It serves the purpose of the cheap “pops” of “sticking it to them libs”, and if it passes then that is just a bonus. The whole point is like so many really stupid laws that “look/feel” like something was done but actually just wasted time or makes things just more annoying. So they are “seen” to be “fighting” the other team. Where as if they were to actually push something that requires real functional effort or could lead to massive loss of seats. They would then be seen as big losers and seen as the ego trippers that they really are. It is honestly shit that should just lead to them being put against a wall for all the intentional fucking around they are doing.
So he’s going to start going by Rafael now right?
Everyone should start calling Cruz “she”/“her” and when she complains, tell her she’s not allowed to use her preferred pronouns.
This is not a good thing.
-
It shows people it’s okay to misgender someone you don’t like
-
It won’t feel bad for him. For him it’s a joke that doesn’t do any harm. For trans people getting misgendered is life and can deeply hurt
I think “it” is a better pronoun for Cruz - or maybe “It” given the whole evil clown thing.
Some who aren’t monsters go by “it” <.< I kinda want to, even, but understand that it’s pretty offensive from/for most critters.
Wait until they hear what Nikki Haley’s real name is.
Well? Don’t leave me hanging.
I’m much too lazy to type her name into Google. But I’m just un-lazy enough to ask you.
Fucking WHAT?! Wow.
Ok. I won’t make jokes about someone’s name. I’ll leave that to Trump and conservatives at large who judge people based on 2nd grader standards.
