Hey, so Texas just put a MINIMUM $5000 bounty on being transgender/gender non-conforming. The bill is TX HB1075.

If you don't speak legal, let me give it in laymans terms:

If you are identified at birth as male, you are expected to wear mens clothing. If you are identified at birth as female, you are expected to wear womens clothing. If you do not conform to this expectation, and you so much as sing or dance in public, you're considered as performing "Drag". Furthermore, simply existing in public while not conforming to the above defined expectation can also be seen as "Drag". If a minor is present then you can face a minimum $5000 fine to be paid in bounty to the other party, plus their court costs, and any damages, psychological, physical, economical, and emotional.

I personally think it's time to remove the United States "3rd Safe Country" status for all LGBTQIA+ people seeking assylum in Canada. They're adding fucking BOUNTIES on transgender and gender non-conforming people. I don't care if there's "safe states" or "sanctuary states". If someone has to uproot their life in their home country, in anywhere in their home country, they should be able to seek assylum in a country that has laws that protect them. It may be CHEAPER to literally leave the country than to find the one small hold-out space that accepts them.

Until that happens, to all those in the US who need to escape this, or something like this, here's a place to start:

It's not the only group out there, and if you know reputable others, please reblog and link.

Questions that ought -- but won't -- be asked of Trump's Cabinet appointees:

--what is the largest organization you have ever overseen?

--how many direct reports did you have?

--how large a budget did you manage?

--how do you assess whether your direct reports are doing their job well?

--what systems do you have in place to gather and assess information in a timely and effective way?

--how did you counsel struggling leaders?

--how did you decide to replace people?

--What criteria did you use to assess the qualifications or capacity of any new appointee to take a failed person's position?

You know: leadership questions. But they won't get asked, in part because that's not entertaining, and in part because many of the nominees have no decent answers to them.

Falling short of the high burden of proof demanded in the courthouse, area couple Alice Fields and Zachary Garcia were reportedly denied a marriage license Tuesday after failing to prove their love beyond a reasonable doubt. “Although in common terms the two of you may be considered in love, it is the duty of this court to follow a certain standard of evidence, and your relationship must be presumed casual until it is proven serious,” said Judge Luther Hanscom, whose ruling found insufficient grounds to suggest Fields and Garcia’s bond was meant to last forever, concluding it was plausible they were participants in nothing more than a simple fling. “You have not provided the necessary love letters or the breathless texts to your friends after your first date to substantiate a legal claim that you are two halves of a shared, sacred whole.
