Its infuriating how much time and money they are spending to oppress less than 1% of the population!!!
For a group that keeps screetching about freedom they sure do hate it.
Whenever a conservative group attacks LGBTQ+ people - it's always a distraction and/or low-risk, low-effort way of gaining support. They can attack less than 1% of the population and rile up support from their hardcore base at the same time. It also takes scrutinsing eyes off any other ongoing scandals or misdeeds the government is doing.
What's more infuriating is that we have federal protections for gender identity already in place, so these policies could be subject to discrimination lawsuits from trans people, costing even more taxpayer money.
I'm not a lawyer, but I think it's fairly obvious that there's some sort of disparate impact on trans people happening here. It's also a form of sex discrimination, but I'm not sure how far that argument would go in court.
