Btw - half of the numbers on the state of Oklahoma’s child protective services website don’t work, and DHS keeps losing a lot of sexual abuse cases…

    I think that Senator Julie Daniels does have a valid point. People of one gender wearing clothing traditionally worn by the other is prohibited in the Bible:

    Deut 22:5:

    A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.

    1 Corinthians 11:14-16:

    Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.  If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.

    I mean, that’s pretty explicit.

    And I suppose that one could call exposing children to view of an adult doing so obscene. Maybe society would be best off if we jailed people with the temerity to do such things.

    On an entirely-unrelated note, I see that in the article’s picture, the senator cuts quite a striking figure in her pantsuit and with her short hair.

      That’s one butch-looking senator they’ve got there. And all decked-out in those eye-catching Satanic colors. The whole outfit looks 100% polyester “male-ordered” from a 1970s Sears catalog. Some kind of odd kink I guess, I’ll have to check Reddit for the explanation. No judgment from me, the 70s were weird fun.

        I would certainly hope so!

        Leviticus 19:19:

        “‘Keep my decrees.

        “‘Do not mate different kinds of animals.

        “‘Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed.

        “‘Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.
