Would this thread it be sexier if I played up a gay wedding cake or a unisex bathroom?

A sports theme?

Maybe a gay bashing title would draw the flies.

because, as everyone knows, nothing is more central to the American religious belief than shunning homosexuals and other cultural nonconformists.

does treating an acute injury to a gay make you gay?

I am a doctor and have always treated everyone willingly of every race/ethnicity, sex or sexual preference going back to my medical school days when HIV was becoming rampant. Many providers did not want to deal with gays or any HIV patients, but a wise professor taught us it was not only the strictly ethical thing to do but the moral.

AR General Assembly overrides Hutchinson's veto. It's now legal for Arkansas doctors to refuse to treat transgender patients on religious grounds. People will die, as intended.

how preposterous is the idea of a man transitioning to female merely to compete with female athletes? wouldn't the disadvantages outweigh?

[MultiTroll]

Whatever.
Still doesn't justify male born to compete in female sports.

But it's non sequitur. It doesn't matter why they transition, they are free to do so for whatever reason. It's the fact that they are still basically men competing against women.

It sounds absurd and perverted as hell, but the Florida law really does seem to give competitors and schools genital inspection privileges.

FL CS/HB 1475


"A dispute regarding a student's sex shall be resolved by the student's school or institution by requesting that the student provide a health examination and consent form or other statement signed by the student's personal health care provider which must verify the student's biological sex,” says the bill, which provides for “routine sports physical examination” of students’ reproductive organs, genetic makeup or testosterone levels.https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2021/1475/?Tab=BillText

Didn't know you were trans tbh

[Winehole23]

Didn't know you were trans tbhI'm not and that's non answer.

What's the supervening state interest to make minors drop trou and be inspected by a doctor of their choice to resolve disputes about their assigned sex at birth? Can you remind us why this is needed now?
