Top Kansas Republicans want the Legislature to hold a special session to amend a state law related to transgender people, which they say is “even more important than redistricting.”

The move comes after the Kansas Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Attorney General Kris Kobach related to Senate Bill 180. That 2023 law is the subject of a legal dispute over whether it blocks trans people from changing their gender marker on their driver’s license.

It also comes at a time when Republicans are moving toward calling a special session on redistricting with a goal of gerrymandering the congressional district maps.

    I knew these guys lost their collective minds when they were throwing all kinds of complete nonsense at Obama, because they couldn’t call him the n-word (in public, anyway).

    But I knew they got even fucking crazier when the bathroom bill stuff really got going, and then, just before this election, that stupid bitch Megyn Kelly told Bill Maher that trans was her #1 issue.

    Number one? WTAF. These people are fucking CRAZY. What percentage of people are trans? And that’s Megyn’s #1 thing to be concerned about? I mean, you kind of always know these people are stewing in a cesspool of hateful craziness, but there are just certain moments you can point to that really demonstrate just how much they keep devolving.

    If there is a timeline, in the days since W, it’s the “Tea Party” thing, their sudden obsession with long form birth certificates, their 8 year primal scream at Obama (basically a moderate Republican) in general, all the Pizzagate/Qanon horseshit, the bathroom bills [1], going balls-deep on Taco, losing their fucking minds over masks and vaccines and social distancing, storming the Capitol in a planned terrorist action for Taco, them acting like Biden was really doing something to them (lol) during his term, acting all butthurt that Taco actually had moderate consequences of almost no real substance while he was out of office, and then seeing people like Kelly say that “men in sports” is her single issue…SMH.

    But these people have zero sense of proportion about really anything. The right are the people that watch B reels of scaravans heading to the border and think there is a zombie horde of BROWN PEOPLE heading right to their house or something.

    [1] I cannot count how many times some old white dude has told me he should throw on a wig and a dress, declare what his pronouns are, and go into the women’s bathroom. I just…don’t even know what to say to that. My main reaction, as a cishet white male myself, is - that sounds absolutely NASTY. Why the fuck would anyone want to do that?

    I just think they are telling on themselves. They think men are pretending to have gender dysphoria to do what THEY want to do.
