The absurd cruelty is the point. This legislation was not written to solve any problem or to address any issue of policy failure, but instead to torture children. I am glad we have someone like you on our side, but we need more people who understand that attacks on our trans brothers, sisters, and thimbers is an attack on everyone everywhere. For now it is mandatory that you conform to your AGAB, but from here we open up a can of worms that includes things like codifying gender roles to match a certain worldview. From here it is possible to say things like "It is a masculine trait to grill. Any man who does not grill is gender non-conforming and must be forced to grill" and "Women are property of their husbands. Any woman who disobeys her husband will be shot"

The right wing of this country has never been in objection to Sharia law for the reasons they say. They are in objection because they want their religion to set the rules, not a slightly different Abrahamic offshoot founded in a slightly different desert.
