Nebraska’s Republican Gov. Jim Pillen on Wednesday signed an executive order strictly defining a person’s sex.

The order notably does not use the term “transgender,” although it appears directed at limiting transgender access to certain public spaces. It orders state agencies to define “female” and “male” as a person’s sex assigned at birth.

“It is common sense that men do not belong in women’s only spaces,” Pillen said in a statement. “As Governor, it is my duty to protect our kids and women’s athletics, which means providing single-sex spaces for women’s sports, bathrooms, and changing rooms.”

    What are you talking about?

    What I said was completely true.

    Men don’t care about women in their restrooms, lol. It’s usually women and especially TERFs who are upset about trans people using their bathrooms.

    Please tell me why this is bigoted. I really want to know.

      You’re describing trans women as “males.”

      You’re treating this as valid justification… for anything.

      Jesus fuck, eighty years ago, would we be having this conversation about segregation? ‘Well the main concern is whites not wanting blacks at the front of the bus. What? Why the rude gestures? Haha, it’s not usually the blacks complaining!’

        I’m not sure what you’re saying, sorry.

        I’m not trying to justify any kind of bigotry. I’m merely stating who has the issue, and who does not.
