Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced a bill that would limit the use of preferred names by trans people.
The irony, critics point out? The senator, whose legal name is Rafael Edward Cruz, uses a preferred name himself: Ted.
Wow, now THAT will solve most of our country’s problems, right, y’all? Fucking piece of shit useless mother fucker. I hate his weasly voice.
He’s the kinda guy that leaves his tube socks on and pulls his pecker out of his whitey tighties before fucking his wife with the lights off.
This imagery just burns right though my soul and it won’t go away.
It hurts me
Glad to be of service 😌 😂
Correction, he’s the kind of lizard that eats a rat while the humans aren’t looking.
I imagined this in a motel and the car lights in the parking lot are rolling by. I hate it
out of his skidmarked whitey tighties
FTFY. Just wanted to complete the scene.
The majority of people who support and parrot shit like this aren’t even doing it because they think it’s somehow good for the country, they just think it’s something that needs to be fixed because some ignorant piece of shit on FOX News or the like told them it was bad, and we should all be mad about it.
I can’t imagine being so fucking bored and miserable with my life, that the sheer THOUGHT of someone else being happy and comfortable… or even just not sad and miserable in their own life, that I’d feel obligated to dedicate what precious time I have on this earth to ruining everything for everyone.
I agree with you - Ted Cruz is an absolute piece of shit, but the people who feel driven to support these types of policies and bills etc. are truly vile human beings.

Am loving the energy in this post! It’s so tiring that this shit is what passes for politics around here. Like half’ the fucking country seriously thinks kicking us is a worthy focus for the whole damn government? Really? REALLY? Let’s just stop and have a vote on how much we all hate those people for existing! That’ll make something better, won’t it? … Now here I am getting worked up too. Bleh. Of course those people have no concept of “better,” only hurting people they hate.
“I hate his voice” tacked onto the end there is kinda hilarious though 🤣
Also the initialism for the act’s name is SHSA which reminds me that “SHSR” is the IBM->HAL thing (letter-position-decrement?) for “TITS.” So I guess this bill is about TITB? … Nevermind, I’ll show myself out :P
Him eating his booger on the debate stage still makes me gag uncontrollably if I see the clip, and if it pops into my head sometimes I’ll start gagging, which is pretty much every time I see his name
There are very few things that make me gag in disgust, this one gets me every time

Fucking nasty ass mother fucker.
Just the memory that you just summoned made me audibly gag when I read your comment. So thanks?
Ted Cruz is so gross.
Oh, just his weasley voice? Not his weasley everything else?
He gets on my fucking nerves when he talks.
How about when you look at him? Or anything or everything else he does?
Cruz is in the business of exacerbating problems, not solving them.
How do you feel about his punchable yokel face?
Violence is not the answer! But it does make me feel a lot better.
I want to smash a shit pie on his face.

conservatives pick the weirdest most inconsequential hills to shit their pants on
Step 1: Pick an issue that is divisive*
Step 2: Boost it with stories about how bad the people on the wrong side are: won’t someone think of the children?
Step 3: Watch the outrage donations roll on in
It’s a playbook as old as time.
*Some people might call it divisive because one side is like “let’s all become crabs and live in the ocean” vs the other side that’s like “no let’s continue using our opposable thumbs”. But who am I to label whether one side is right and the other wrong?
Look, we don’t get to choose if we want to be crab people, nature has just forced crab evolution on us
Oh great, the crab-apologists have showed up
Don’t be so crabby
Crabs are the most perfect form in evolution. You will soon join us once you mold and reveal your exoskeleton, then you will know the perfection that are crabs.
chanting crab people crab people chanting
Crab people! Crab people!
crabification, dude
Carcinisation (American English: carcinization)
If you’re going to correct someone, do it right.
You have it wrong, It’s Gods will that we become crab people - it was ordained from the start of time
Look, I don’t care what you do in the privacy of your own bathtub, but other people have to use the ocean and I don’t want you putting any funny ideas in my kid’s head about being a crab. His chitinous exoskeleton and claw are just a phase.
Your kid will be fine once he molts.
Step 3 is missing the part “and ignore actual issues that affect us all but solutions would make rich people less rich so it’s better to distract them”
I think it is due to it not really being any loss for them if they fail to get something like that passed. It serves the purpose of the cheap “pops” of “sticking it to them libs”, and if it passes then that is just a bonus. The whole point is like so many really stupid laws that “look/feel” like something was done but actually just wasted time or makes things just more annoying. So they are “seen” to be “fighting” the other team. Where as if they were to actually push something that requires real functional effort or could lead to massive loss of seats. They would then be seen as big losers and seen as the ego trippers that they really are. It is honestly shit that should just lead to them being put against a wall for all the intentional fucking around they are doing.
So he’s going to start going by Rafael now right?
Either that or Fled Cruise. Either way.
TEDx Cruz.

My god…
Everyone should start calling Cruz “she”/“her” and when she complains, tell her she’s not allowed to use her preferred pronouns.
This is not a good thing.
-
It shows people it’s okay to misgender someone you don’t like
-
It won’t feel bad for him. For him it’s a joke that doesn’t do any harm. For trans people getting misgendered is life and can deeply hurt
It’s not as a joke, I’m serious. The implication is that he’s a trans-man and should have to prove otherwise to every individual he meets if he wants to use his preferred pronouns. Let Cruz eat his own dog food.
-
Better to keep referring to he/him by he/his preferred pronouns, but just hammer in the point that he/him is using pronouns you keep saying both every time.
He/him being reminded of it every time is much worse, and doesn’t invalidate trans peoples pronouns.
I think “it” is a better pronoun for Cruz - or maybe “It” given the whole evil clown thing.
Some who aren’t monsters go by “it” <.< I kinda want to, even, but understand that it’s pretty offensive from/for most critters.
Raises its hand
No, call him by his first name at all times.
Both.
I think gender neutral pronouns is a better option.
The allegedly human male senator, who itself has chosen to be addressed by the preferred name “Ted”, but looking at the Senate records its name is actually, legally, Rafael Edward Cruz. Would the, allegedly human senator, them self care to explain?
Wait until they hear what Nikki Haley’s real name is.
Well? Don’t leave me hanging.
I’m much too lazy to type her name into Google. But I’m just un-lazy enough to ask you.
Nimrata
Fucking WHAT?! Wow.
Ok. I won’t make jokes about someone’s name. I’ll leave that to Trump and conservatives at large who judge people based on 2nd grader standards.
Nimrata (Gurmukhi: ਨਿਮਰਤਾ nimaratā) is an important virtue that is vigorously promoted by Gurbani and Sikh history. The literal translation of this Punjabi word is “Humility”, or “Benevolence”.
You can say she’s given up pretending to be benevolent.
She definitely does not live up to her name.
Nimarata*, according to Wikipedia
You’ve got to be kidding me
How could this possibly be ruled as Constitutional? Let alone any remaining shadow of ‘party of small government’ irony, that shipped sailed into the West a long, long time ago.
The article’s title presents this in a misleading way. The bill in question wouldn’t prevent people from using their preferred names and pronouns. What it would do is prohibit the government from spending federal funds to implement or enforce any rules or recommendations encouraging its employees and contractors to respect those names and pronouns.
So in other words this is an attempt at protecting hate-speech, not at restricting free-speech. Shitty, but probably not unconstitutional.
No word from Rafael yet on whether he thinks enforcing preferred names if how the Pentagon lost 6 trillion dollars
They never meant that “small government” thing; they were just chapped that the feds interfered with their racist bullshit at the state level.
Having a stacked hyper partisan supreme court makes anything constitutional.
Once again proving that when a conservative is really against something, they’re doing it themselves.

I think you underestimate just how flaming he really is.
Hey Texas, Collin Allred is going up against Rafael Cruz. You don’t have to vote for the status quo, you could shake it up and put someone in there who isn’t a complete shit-bag.
You don’t have to vote for the status quo, you could shake it up and put someone in there who isn’t a complete shit-bag.
But that’s not how Texas does things. They only make things worse and call it freedom.
Oh my god it’s already been 6 years
Rules for thee, not for me?
I’ve always liked Wilhoit’s Law: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
The irony
Rafael thinks you peasants should not get the choice, but he does.
Typical.
This is what’s important of course. No need to do anything about the genocide they’re funding.
Weird how Rafael Cruz is so upset over people using different names.
I wonder why Rafael Cruz is so bothered by this?
I am starting to think Mr. Cruz does not have the best interests of the LGBT in mind.
Oh, that’s because he’s a Christian Nationalist piece of shit.
