Iowa became the first state to strike anti-discrimination protections for transgender people from its civil rights code on Friday after the state’s Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds signed hotly contested legislation into law.

The bill, introduced last week, sped through the legislature despite widespread opposition from Democrats and LGBTQ rights advocates who flooded the statehouse in Des Moines to protest its passage.

I think the nastiness of the protestors in the state house was counterproductive.

So rights for people that don’t exist were taken away.

Were rights for unicorns and elves taken away also?

Sanity is returning, slowly but surely.

If men and women are supposedly the same, how would a tranny have special rights?

It always is, thankfully it is a lesson the left never learns.

Yes, pleasantly shocked.

We’ve moved so far left as a nation that even a mild shift back toward the right seems earth shattering.

Can we just say it...well besides us here who know it.

They DONT EXIST.

From the Search Lab at Google..

In the 20th century, the word “gender” was almost always used to refer to grammatical categories.

In the early 1970s, feminist theory embraced the work of John Money, who used the term “gender” to describe an additional variable of sex.

So it was redefined out of thin air.

And was allowed to spread, like a plague.

Now it’s time to end the plague.

Reynolds and Ernst should switch jobs as both are up in ‘26. Both have won stateside and both could use a change. I was happy to see DeWine kicked ‘upstairs’ in Oh. Same thing here. Ernst is a wannabe POTUS-Jeesus.
