The GOP Senator has come under fire after introducing a bill that would limit policies about pronouns and preferred names—particularly since Cruz's legal name is actually Rafael Edward Cruz.

Canadian Rafael "Fast Eddie" Cruz thinks the first ammendment gives him the right to harass his coworkers! That's because Canadian Rafael "Fast Eddie" Cruz is an asshole!

You guys took him, he’s not Canada’s problem anymore.

We built a wall around the wrong border 😭

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You should build one right around the country and keep all the idiots in.

Ironic on a post about a canadian idiot who came to America.

What’s the excuse for the other ninety-nine?

The canadian geese flying here and spreading it.

I hope you didn’t strain yourself coming up with that one.

Yet another pathetic attempt by Republicans to get people to show them their junk, "So I know how to address you."

I get where Rafael would be afraid to use his real name, given how his father assassinated JFK.

For a guy known as The Zodiac Killer, he sure is uptight about other people being called what they want.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've always felt that the Zodiac killer thing gives him way too much credit intelligence-wise.

You're not wrong, he's definitely a certifiable moron with zero self-respect.

So what are we supposed to call Lindsey Graham, then? Heck, Taylor Swift might even be in trouble.

And there's a MLB player named Taylor who is married to a woman also named Taylor.

His given name is actually pronounced Fuckstick VonAssweasel

The GOP, which claims to love freedom, continues to demonstrate how much it hates freedom.

I don't think anyone would get fired for using the wrong pronoun, someone would get fired for being a bully, and sometimes bullies misuse pronouns intentionally.

Imagine if your wife was as ugly as his and your dad killed JFK.

What's up with the anglosphere just letting people use their nickname on official documents?

We had so much trouble with that when validating vaccines with Anglo clients not having a valid ID with the same name as their proof of vaccination on it...

No idea. Is it that much of a hassle to get a legal name change?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I know most people that happened with just said "Oh it's the name I always use." and they seemed to find it perfectly normal to have three pieces of ID with three different first names with only their health card (not a valid ID in their case) having their true name on it 🤷

[–] HowMany@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

It's true. His real name is Teddly "Backdoor Teddy" Crudz. Of the Crudz clan.

Names on the chopping block: Charlie Alex Jordan Taylor Morgan

Ah, bad old Ted Cruz Missile.
