    I’m not sure if the article covers it, still reading, but one of the things they want to do to disenfranchise transfoks is to require the the name on your birth certificate matches you’re legal name in order to vote.

    As most married women don’t change their name on their birth certificate when they take their husbands last name, they would not be able to vote either.

    Edit: The article does go into all of this.

      Long term, this seems like an effective way to end that custom. What person would go into marriage changing their name when they know this attitude is at play?

        It’s cute you think that’s not another right they’ll quickly take away from women as soon as they can.

          Republicans destroy marriage with this one neat trick!

          If they force women to change their names with marriage, women will simply stop getting married.

            Oh you sweet summer child…

            “We need Christian men leading the fight against abortion,” arguing that women’s suffrage was a mistake, and accusing Hawkins of emasculating her husband by being “busy jet-setting.”

            This is only the first step. It will not stop until women are property.
            If you don’t get married than your father will own you until he decides who you will marry.
