How do these people not keel over from all the hate they hold in their heart?

In 2023 Senator Kathleen Kauth’s Let Them Grow Act banned transgender minors from receiving gender affirming care.

In 2024 she tried unsuccessfully to pass her Sports and Spaces bill, which would have required K-12 schools to regulate bathrooms and sporting teams based on sex at birth.

Now in 2025 Kauth is again taking aim at transgender individuals and what restrooms and locker rooms they should use but this year she is looking at far more than just schools.

“This act will cover everything the state is in charge of. That means our prison systems, our department of economic development, that means our DHHS and all of our academics all the way up through post secondary,” said Kauth.

Like the previous bill, “Stand With Women” would use sex at birth to determine what intimate spaces transgender individuals are allowed in but the latest legislation goes even farther requiring all state agencies to set up rules and regulations defining sex based on biological sex.

That means regulating grants, scholarships and other support designating only for women.

This is just a way to legislate away the concept of transness, which is a form of social death.

Tennessee passed a bill like this in 2023.

Let's hope Kauth's bill fails.
