It's not just opponents that say that. Discriminating against trans people is in fact the point of the bill. Proponents of the bill say the same things about it, they just think it's a good thing.

Iowa tries to live up to the moniker "Fly over state" by making sure no one wants to be there. Defund public School to discount private for the rich, cut IEP funding for public. Take away rights. Eliminate transparency and State Auditor. No bid govt. Contracts to donors. Great place.

I think what infuriates me the most is that these bigots who scream that there are only 2 sexes aren't smart enough to know the difference between sex and gender. Sorry guys, but this adds to the many many reasons why I'm so happy to be canadian. Come on up, health care won't bankrupt you!

Be fair. Proponents of this measure day it will achieve exactly the same thing. They just think victimizing trans people is a good thing. Be careful. They're not going to wait to be done with the trans community before taking aim at their next targets. There's a poem about this.

Do opponents say that or is it just what the law actually does on its face? Journalistic integrity doesn’t mean “sounding unbiased at the cost of reporting the truth.”

Why are you bending over backwards to sound neutral??? In your attempt to "both sides" adhd pretend that reality doesn't have a bias, you're making it seem like stripping people's rights away is the norm.

How soon until the lgbt or non religious people are under the radar. When you see the fascism and stay quiet, it comes back to you. What goes around comes around

Why are you here CNN? Shouldn't you be over on Elon's fascist genuflecting state propaganda platform? No one here will normalize you as acceptable journalism and you bootlicking owner can fuck off.

This is a significant step back for civil rights in Iowa. Removing protections for marginalized communities not only threatens their safety but also undermines the values of equality and respect. It’s crucial that we stand with those affected and advocate for more inclusive policies.
