Disallowed: "Illustrated or animated" depictions of nonconsensual adult content.
Why ban fictional depictions of anything? And how will consent be determined from an illustration?

My bank can just do a stop payment at my request though. That's free. That takes 15 minutes on the phone. And it actively harms them because payment processors do NOT like when you get a stop payment order placed against you.

Your reminder that legislation to curb the rights of trans people to use restrooms or do anything else means everyone's behaviour, clothing etc will be opened up to intrusive and unwanted scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. This is not a 'them' issue. Trans rights are human rights.

My current read of Richard Hofstadter's *Anti-Intellectualism in American Life* (1963) is genuinely disarming me in how quintessentially transphobic this genre of conservative rhetoric already was in the 1940s. This example is just one of many, from the first 50 pages alone
