Poll needs DU love--on TN bathroom bill

Possibly the silliest ever Repub bill, requires individuals to use the restroom of the gender on their birth certificate.
Yeah, this is one of our most serious problems here in TN---not the economy, or our crappy education system, or failing infrastructure.

Will we now have to carry our birth certificates w/us just to use the bathroom!??!!
These jokers are complete kooks!

What, are they going to make people walk around with their birth certificates? Post cops at each bathroom in the state? They're that bent out of shape about a person determining who they are as an individual, how ridiculous.

How these people get elected is beyond me.
I suspect it's just another diversionary move by Repubs rather than dealing w/the people's real needs. They just try to keep the hate ramped up in this country to keep us all divided over insignificant issues.

Terror, terror, terror......gotta create fear to maintain their control of the electorate.
Sad.

This goofball actually represents the town where I grew up. He lives just a few blocks from my brother, tho I don't know him......thankfully.

and lead to law suits.

How does one prove one's gender with a total strip search and close examination for surgical alterations?
