She has a limited view of biology. Differences can be hormonal, or chromosomal, or developmental. To label intersex people as "disabled" is truly disheartening. And what is the purpose of this? Even her reasoning for it is shallow. Clearly she hasn't consulted with any doctors or scientists. She got this handed to her from a hate group.
It would be relevant for public safety reasons to require a special driver's license that references the number and date(s) of DUI and similar charges and convictions. I wonder if Governor Reynolds would agree to that information being put on her driver's license?
So ridiculous to foment culture wars when Iowa has real problems to deal with: water quality, soil health, soil conservation, waste disposal, mental health, rural depopulation, education funding, brain drain.
The hate is simply palpable. I am appalled to live in this state at this moment. Thank you for writing so clearly about this, Laura. We must all try to determine what our piece of the response to this can be. As someone else pointed out, what a travesty to have to fight for human rights and to stop discrimination when we need to be putting our efforts toward water quality and climate change. But, we cannot look away.

This is painful and sad to even read. Any yet, rural Iowans will once again reelect her. It is brutal and shameful.
