The definition of hypocrisy (cross posted from here)

This belongs in the Trump thread as well

First this applies to trans people, not gays and lesbians. But this sort of law is just part of an ongoing attempt to legislate trans individuals out of existence. They're definitely incompetent (and more than this law suggests?) Why would they? After all, tranwomen are women and transmen...
