Death penalty on the table for first time child sex crime offenders
I imagine there will be companion laws that make “existing as a trans or gay person around a child” sexual abuse.

Guaranteed that is the ultimate goal. Remember, they are still trying to label LGBT people, trans folks in particular, as pedos and groomers. I can take a lot of insults and bigotry hurled at me; I’ve got thick skin. But if anyone in public EVER calls me either of those words, I will fight them with everything I’ve got. I’d probably lose, but at least that person could not call me a coward as well.
I wish the cruelest ending possible upon any politician that actively works to legislate us away. All of them. And their supporters. Every last one.
If child welfare was the priority, they’d be doing something about DHS.
Oklahoma DHS refuses to investigate abuse allegations, and fires workers in retaliation for pointing out things like foster families forcing children to stay outside in freezing weather. (They will also retaliate if, say, you are a CASA and point out that the case worker assigned to a child has zero fucking clue where the child is lol. That retaliation involves spurious insinuations of child sexual abuse, which is why as a trans person who viewed the kid I advocated for as basically my daughter I had to give up on advocating for her for my own safety. Shits fucked and no one cares lol.)
Like I am at the point where I will Aaron Bushnell myself if it takes that to get someone to step in. It has literally drove me insane.
If you just beat the ass of everyone that says that malicious shit, eventually they'll stop or won't be able to speak anymore. This sounds like a win
There will be exceptions for clergy, because they're not interested in actual pedophiles, just scapegoats.
One potential moral hazard with a law like this is that in some extreme cases it might turn rape into murder since the penalty is the same for both but by killing the victim one may decrease their chance of getting caught.
Watch parents in Oklahoma tell their kids to cry wolf every time they meet a trans person.
Yes - there’s an active harassment campaign against a transgender woman social worker on Facebook which is pretty horrific.
There are two states in this country that I have vowed to never step foot in. Texas is the first. Oklahoma became the second after I became friends with some people from there.
Word is Rep. Turner is trying to prevent any challengers to his record.
No one makes you live in Oklahoma.
Poverty can make it pretty hard to leave.
Ya know, I'm glad we're finally downvoting detached people like this.
Moving isn't always easy, nor cheap.
My literal billionaire ex taking advantage of court and police transphobia to ensure that I was saddled with his credit card debt makes me live in Oklahoma.
Yeah, I could be homeless somewhere else lol, instead of holding onto a shitty apartment where even if I can’t afford a fucking bed, the floor is warm enough lol.
