this is like the least important thing but the text of that Idaho anti-trans law mentions the “removing of any otherwise healthy and non-diseased body part or tissue” which would make haircuts and clipping your fingernails a felony

it has been pointed out to me that this would also make things like organ donation illegal, because donating a kidney or part of your liver or whatever DEFINITELY induces a "profound morphological change" in your body!

technically the bill states it only applies to things that cause "profound morphological changes and/or transient or permanent infertility" and like. okay. two things here 1) what constitutes a "profound morphological change". a haircut can change how you look!

god the fertility thing is so stupid. permanent infertility is, at least, pretty easy to determine. but transient infertility? you'd need to do fucking lab tests. and you'd need to prove that they *were* fertile *before*, which is a WEIRD THING TO DO TO **CHILDREN**

lmao okay another thing that was just pointed out to me: giving birth would be illegal under this law (because the placenta is removed in the process), as would getting pregnant (causes significant morphological changes AND temporary infertility)
