Florida has introduced a bill that allows for the legal kidnapping of trans children. It grants Florida courts emergency jurisdiction over those children and would allow courts to ignore all other court orders and custody determinations. legiscan.com/FL/text/H1421/…

This is the "round them up" part of the well-known process that starts with 'just asking questions." Which is why many of us understand those "just asking questions" about trans people to be motivated by something other than love of free speech and open discourse. twitter.com/Esqueer_/statu…

Again, it's a well-known process. A recipe, almost. 1) make a group of people a problem 2) "ask questions" about solving the "problem" 3) isolate the "problem" 4) remove the "problem" completely Most people who follow a recipe want to make the dish would be my observation.

We've seen people follow this recipe before, so we know what the recipe makes. Many of those people were decent people in aspects of their everyday life. They were Very Fine People. Nice, maybe. And who cares? Because we know a cook who follows a recipe wants to make the dish.

@JuliusGoat So what’s interesting about this is that if the name of the state had omitted, I would have assumed you were a conservative complaining about a state taking kids away from parents who don’t embrace their child’s trans identity and give them life altering surgery and hormones.

@JuliusGoat There is no way anyone is going to let them get away with this

@shelly2161 I have no idea what basis you think exists for this sort of optimism

@JuliusGoat *Florida* has introduced this bill? Unless it *enacts* it, it's been introduced by one crank. Crank bills show up all the time, esp. on the state level.

@DavidCaSouth Maybe read up on what’s actually happening in Florida right now.
