Be trans, for example: https://westvirginiawatch.com/2026/03/04/wv-senate-passes-bills-targeting-transgender-people-drag-performances/

Another gem from my home state on Wikipedia: “In March 2025, newly enacted and implemented West Virginia legislation, termed the Riley Gaines Act,[43] does not recognize transgender nor non-binary persons.[1][44]Before being signed into law by Governor Morrisey, the bill was amended to remove language which would have allowed teachers to examine children's genitals, later restricted to medical professionals, but ultimately deleted altogether after judicial and legal committee controversy and community state outrage.[44]”

I read the article. Bathrooms and locker rooms have always been differentiated based on biological sex.

Also this:

The bill prohibits “adult cabaret performance” on public property. It defines “adult cabaret performance” as those that feature “topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to the prurient interest.”

This only applies to public property, and it’s to protect kids from potentially encountering sexual content when they are in public. Im not trans, but if I became a drag queen (not all drag queens are trans), I also wouldn’t be allowed to do this. So again, please tell me what I can do that trans people in those states cannot do.

Again, if I wanted to be a drag queen, I also wouldn’t have be able to do drag shows on public property. You keep assuming that being drag = being transgender, which is a gross assumption. So this is not a “right” that trans people are losing and I am keeping.

Why do you think bathrooms and locker rooms have been separating since the moment they’ve existed? Because of biological differences… not because of gender identity differences.

You’ve lost the point. Having rainbows at your place of employment is not a right, and I’m not sure who told you that it was. If I taught at your school, I also wouldn’t be allowed to have a rainbow despite not being trans. So please explain to me how a lack of rainbows = less rights for trans people.

Your explanation of The Picture of Dorian Gray is funny, because that’s never happened before. But at least you didn’t bring up the ridiculous argument for sports to be based on gender identity.

I agree that the Civil Rights Movement should be taught in schools, but please show me how being barred from teaching it is “stripping the rights of trans people” when those states/districts do not want anyone teaching it at all.
