Christian, LGBT, Pan-Sexual. I am happily married. My blog showcases my drawings, and other tumblrings I find interesting. Huzzah.
Been waiting a while to post this. I drew this for my local paper and it is running in Today’s (Sunday, April 3) paper. (Its in Black and White in print)
I don’t know how many of my friends are paying attention, but there’s a really scary bill HB 2737 in Kansas that could put the lives of Trans individuals (or anyone who is suspected to be) at risk.
Basically, what this bill is trying to say is that you have to use the rest room of the gender that was assigned to you at birth.
Never mind the fact that you may not look like that gender, feel safe in a restroom full of people with that gender, or even identify with that gender.
The scariest part about all of this? The Kansas Government would offer a reward of 2500 dollars to anyone who can successfully out a transperson using a bathroom of their gender identity. And where would it happen? In HIGH SCHOOL and COLLEGE Bathrooms.
This is seriously wrong guys. Can you imagine the scars and pain that this could mean for people who JUST WANT TO PEE in peace. This is basically legalized pedophilia and molestation.
And If I hear someone say “But a guy who is dressed like a girl can go into our locker rooms and bathrooms and hurt our daughters…” Dude no. That has not ever happened and it could happen no matter HOW a person identifies.
Transgender individuals are NOT criminals. Stop treating them as such.
This bill will probably be looked at again in a couple weeks (the KS gov is on spring break at the moment.) I pray that this bill won’t pass.
I am not sure how helpful my editorial cartoon is, but I hope it at least does something. I have a few other illustrations in mind that I may post later.
