3 years ago Kim literally said “As long as I am governor, lowa will be a state where you can live your life freely, not have to wake up every morning worrying about the next thing the government will do to you, your business, or your children”.
FUCKING. HYPOCRITE.😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬
Remember when Iowa was the 3rd state to legalize gay marriage, years before it was legal nationwide?
What positive effect does this have for anyone? How does this help the community?
Pretty sad considering the staggering protests and letters and emails. Out of the literal hundreds I read after submitting mine, I only saw 3 people supporting this bullshit. Everyone else was disgusted with them for even entertaining the idea. That let me know there are still a lot of good people here, even if our leadership is a bunch of spineless ghouls.
🖕to every asshole in Iowa who voted for this bullshit. Way to go backwards 👏
Kimmy making Iowa proud, first in the country to strip rights from a group. Makes you wonder what they will take next.
I honestly have now idea why they hate trans people so much. I bet none of them have even met a trans person.
As the parent of someone trans who was born in Iowa, I appreciate your outrage. I understand that you want to express support. But what my kid needs isn’t a gun…
My kid needs people like you & me to make it not ok to target people or hurt them.
It shouldn’t be on the trans people to arm themselves (especially considering the number of gun owners who have their weapons used against them & the fact that people who are trans are at significantly higher risk of both domestic violence and self-harm, especially in the presence of a firearm.)
It is on *US.* We need to call bullshit when we see it, both in our private lives and in politics and the media. We need to stand up and speak out. We need to donate (money, time, goods) to causes that are on the ground helping people with their basic needs and also to the organizations that are fighting these blatantly discriminatory laws and policies.
If you want to help trans people, then look at the situation for what it is…right now you’re seeing the equivalent of a small animal being chased and mauled by a pack of dogs. Arming the terrified and defenseless against a pack doesn’t assist…but shouting for as many other people as you can in order to pull the dogs off and subdue them, might help.
I am deeply grateful for all of you that come running when you hear a cry for help. Thank you.
I also is trying to ban getting woman pills in the mail
Time to open a few trans only stores to keep the Trumpers out
Owning a firearm won’t help when it’s legal (and let’s be honest, encouraged by the federal government) to refuse to let someone open a bank account, get a mortgage, get a job, or buy groceries.

Fascism works this way.
MAGA are the worst America has to offer; they don’t even believe in our own Constitution.
I hate it here 😭
The Trump Recession, soon to be The Trump Depression, has begun. Look MAGAs — no more wokeness AND no more American prosperity! Mission accomplished?
OUR LIBERTIES WE PRIZE AND OUR RIGHTS WE WILL MAINTAIN.
It seems lots of people don’t really mean it when they say “WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL” .
Okay next we need to end the civil rights to ALL politicians to see how they like it. If i can discriminate against one group of people that would be it.
I’m disgusted by the governor of my neighbor.
What rights do non-Trans Iowans have that Trans Iowans don’t?
Sadly, taking away LGBTQ+ rights is quite popular, especially when Trans people are the target.
For example: https://www.nj.com/politics/2025/02/cnns-data-guru-exposes-the-most-popular-thing-trump-has-ever-done-even-dems-agree.html
Be warned not to lie on your 4473 as you would be a straw purchaser. Better to take the trans person to the gun store so you can buy it and they can be background checked for the gun.
Be aware some trans people should not have firearms because the higher prevalence of suicide.
What rights are they ending? After reading the bill I can’t find any rights that were removed.
You’re welcome to come on up to MN ❤
Yes. It is absolutely time for guns.
What distinctly Iowa products can we boycott? Asking from another state
Phuck Iowa
So shameful. Fuck iowa
When the law fails to protect citizens, citizens must rely on themselves and the kindness and strength of others to keep them safe. Now I don’t kno about many of u, but I’d keep my eyes on my lgbtq+ friends and family
I really need to hear from Trans folks that supported Trump and his push to not protect Transfolks on a federal level, therefore leading to things like this to happen.
I can’t get out of this state fast enough. Or the country, preferably.
but why though, I mean I can see why you would hate them or whatever the fuck, but why take their rights.
Do they still have rights as a regular citizen?
What in effect will they lose?
glad to see pretty much every comment vehemently going against this shit. being a trans person in this state becomes more scary every day.
It’s completely infuriating how they keep calling these types of bills “protecting women and girls” or some nonsense. As a biological woman, I’ve NEVER ONCE in my 40+ years been victimized by a trans person. Not once! Unfortunately I’ve been assaulted by cis men though, and I know many other women, too many, who have also been assaulted by cisgender men. In fact, most of the women I know have had an incident of assault and/or harassment by a cis man. That’s just boys being boys though, right? And yet all the outrage over “women’s safety” seems to be directed at the trans community. The few trans people who I have had the pleasure of knowing have been wonderful people. All they want is to be comfortable in their own bodies. They are not going through years of medical treatments and enduring so much hate and ridicule just so that they can victimize women. That’s not happening. Sorry, I’m not from Iowa but I’m a neighbor in Wisconsin and reddit suggested this post to me. To the trans people of Iowa, you have neighbors in Wisconsin who have your back, and it looks like you do have many friends in your own state too. I’m sorry this is happening.
Can someone please remind me what Iowa’s motto is. Google keeps coming up with clearly the wrong answer.
