1) Re: 2010 Senate Bill 6239 (Making technical corrections to statutory gender terms.) by M_DragonKnight on May 24, 2010[quote user="Lainie59"]
Well Washingtonians, the process to deny the biologic reality that humans are either male or female is nearing completion or is finally complete.
As residents of Washington, we are now its. No longer male nor female.
The scientific evidence our rulers claim to use when teaching our children how to wear condoms or have oral sex, use birth control or have abortions, in the name of "comprehensive sex education", goes by the wayside when scientific evidence disputes the liberal ideology or conflicts with those who are confused about which sex they are.
Offending reality and the truth are not important but are now, in fact, an acceptable and prominent part of the laws of this state.

Thankfully, there are other states where intelligent life flourishes. Sadly intelligent life at the Olympia captial is nowhere to be found.
