https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/iowa-house-approves-bill-banning-235420917.htmlIowa House Republicans approved a bill Thursday banning local governments from providing anti-discrimination protections for groups not listed in the state’s Civil Rights Act.Senate File 579 — a measure approved by the Iowa Senate in the 2025 session with bipartisan support — requires complaints filed with local civil rights agencies and commissions in which one of the parties involved is a political subdivision, like a city or county, to be referred to the Iowa Office of Civil Rights.But the measure was amended Thursday by the House to include language from House File 2541, a different proposal related to civil rights, banning local governments from enacting ordinances or other laws providing civil rights protections that have “broader or has different categories of unfair or discriminatory practices” than what is listed under the state Civil Rights Act.The Civil Rights Act provides protections against discrimination in areas like housing, education, employment and public accommodationsRep. Aime Wichtendahl, D-Hiawatha, called the amended bill an “enhanced civil rights removal act,” building on the measure passed in 2025 to remove “gender identity” as a protected class from the state’s Civil Rights Act. Large protests convened against the measure as LGBTQ+ advocates and allies said the law will allow for legal discrimination against transgender Iowans.
After the 2025 law was signed by Gov. Kim Reynolds, several local jurisdictions moved to provide these protections on a local level. Currently, 14 cities, as well as the unincorporated areas of Johnson County, have “gender identity” as a protected class against discrimination in housing.Wichtendahl said the local governments added gender identity protection to show that their community was welcoming to newcomers and current residents of all identities.“It is clear from the enhanced civil rights removal act that we are voting on today that transgender people are not welcome in Iowa,” Wichtendahl said. “… This bill before us today makes a mockery of our state’s most sacred values. It diminishes our ability to attract new workers, and it spurns our friends and neighbors who will find friendlier homes in neighboring states.”Wichtendahl said the measure was a violation of both the Equal Protection clause and the Home Rule amendment of the Iowa Constitution. She called for the communities that would have local civil rights protections removed for transgender Iowans to “stand up” and challenge this measure if it becomes law.“My message to those 14 cities and one county is this: stand up,” Wichtendahl said. “Stand up for justice, stand up for freedom and stand up for the rights of your citizens, because this state is long overdue for a check on its constitutional abuses and the reckless disregard for the rights and freedoms of its citizens. Stand up for your people.”But Rep. Skyler Wheeler, R-Hull, said this provision was needed to provide entities like businesses and schools legal clarity in cases where there are state laws — like the ban on transgender individuals using school bathrooms and locker rooms that do not correspond with their sex assigned at birth — that could conflict with gender identity protections implemented at the local level.
The amended bill would also remove the current requirement for cities with populations of 29,000 or more to maintain a civil rights agency or commission, though cities can still choose to maintain these bodies. It also states that if a complaint has gone unresolved by a local civil rights agency or commission for more than a year, the complainants must be notified of their right to transfer the complaint to the state office.Rep. Ross Wilburn, D-Ames, brought up concerns that the changes in directing complaints to the state level could cause “escalation” of certain cases that could be resolved locally. Rep. Steve Holt, R-Denison, said this language would address a current problem with complaints going unresolved for more than a year at the local level.Holt said the language included in the bill is “to make sure we have that accountability and that, in addition to that, information is given to make folks aware that they have an option and they can go to the State Civil Rights Commission.”The bill passed in a 60-26 vote.As this language was passed as an amendment on a bill already approved by the Senate, this proposal can be considered by the Senate through floor debate and not go through the subcommittee and committee process in the chamber. If the Senate approves the amendment, the measure will go to Gov. Kim Reynolds.

Things are so bad that in my state if a troon attacks you, they win. Since they're "female" females have a right to assault males in self-defense, and the cops and courts eat it up.If you want SUPER RIGHTS just say you're a woman as a man. Extra rights on top of that if you're actually gay or black, if both, you are automatically a saint here and above the law.

>>1495153Living the Dream is a “mentally ill” fantasy?! You’ve been drinking that Trump kook-aid, haven’t you?
>>1495156Yeah. Why the fuck wouldn't I?
>>1495156It's far less likely a little girl is going to get raped in the ladies room if nobody in the ladies room has a penis. Just saying.
>>1495156>tell her to use the right bathroom>she assaults me>goes to all-female prison, forced to eat muff by an alpha bitch named Heavy FloNot the worst alternative timeline.
>>1495158"The Kool-Aid" is a reference to the Jones Town cult.Really an ironic term considering what troons are and what they do 41% of the time they aren't shooting up schools.You're in a cult, retard.

>>1495256you can't vote, esl shill, you'll never be american. but you can burn in hell
>>1495259>you can burn in hellWeird coming from a baby killing faggot.
>>1495259I am starting to think the guy calling everyone on /news/ an esl shill is the same guy telling everyone "enjoy burning" on /his/
>>1495265i only call faggot shills esl shills, not everyone
>>1495269I've seen you call every poster on this board esl shill.Do you even know what esl means?
>>1495271i've seen you lie on this website every time you post. do you know how to get a real job where you make contributions to society?
>>1495273>No argument>Thinks I'm every poster on /newsconcession acceptedseek mental help
>>1495275i'll argue with you when you stop lying (never). get a real job soon, your mom is disappointed
>>1495273I think you are projecting your insecurities about your own employment
>>1495275>Thinks I'm every poster on /newsHe's does that tho lmao.Dudes mentally not well at all. There's literally a 2-3 year old meme of this dude who just calls everyone a samefag when he loses an argument on this board, he's portrayed as a gay retard in a ballerina dress
>>1495281Is that the video?I wonder if it's the same anon that shorted his Twitter stock, after Twitter became a private company.
>>1495281>he's does that tho really not beating those esl allegations are you bud
>>1495259>but you can burn in hell>from the faggots who don't believe in hell
>>1495287Look everyone's making fun of you again.Perhaps it's just best to go kill yourself.No one needs you or loves you anyway.
>>1495290wipe those tears esl shill
>>1495291It'll be painless if you use pills. js.
>>1495293instead of begging me to kill myself so you don't get made fun of constantly, why don't you get a real job
>>1495283>Is that the video?Yeah it's basically some retarded guy in a ballerina dress dancing in a circle or something and there's a bunch of speech bubbles saying "samefag" that fly in front of it. I've been thinking lately I should edit that video and replace half of them with "esl shill" since that's basically his new go-to
>>1495290The "anon that posts in all lowercase and calls people esl shill" never has any other goal than trolling. You may safely ignore everything they say. In fact, ignoring them infuriates them far more than any reply. You know you've won when they refuse to even reply and just post straight to the thread, still whinging about you.

>>1495156Trans men all look like bald men with full beards. They never get called out. Trans women is a much more difficult transition. But even though trans men look bald and bearded they are rarely stacked and never tall. Source: am friends with many trans because I'm not a Nazi
