Reminds me of Utah 'defining' Pluto as a planet when it 'passes over' their state. Utterly silly.
What concerns me, though, is whether they would try to use this as a stepping stone toward defining legal identification of trans people's correct gender as fraud. It seems unlikely to have an impact in states where trans folks actually have legal protections, but I could see it being used against us in states where we don't.
Step 1: make drag illegal
Step 2: make trans people legally not exist
Consequence: you can legally throw trans people in prison for "drag" just for presenting as their gender
