I got myself banned from /politics, never got a message about it. Would have been nice so I could remove it from my subscriptions.

    Just to clarify, in case you weren’t aware, American (and possibly beyond) conservatives are trying to equate acknowledging the existence of trans people with grooming children for sexual deviance. They are passing bigoted legislation intended to deny civil rights to trans individuals and calling it “anti-pedo” legislation.

    I don’t know the context of your comment, but you should double check the text of the bill, because opposing a so-called “anti-pedo” bill may have nothing at all to do with pedophilia. You can’t assume that it is exactly what it says on the label.

      In any case, I would love to gotten the message. I know my opinions aren’t super popular on lemmy, as left wing lemmy is, but I think it’s still valid.

      I read the text, it basically says that parents have the right to know about their child and what the schools are doing for their child, and that gender stuff can’t be taught up to 3rd grade. 90% of it is stuff that the parents need to be notified about. All of that seems extremely reasonable, and I still can’t see why anyone would think it’s transphobic.

      Here’s a direct link to the text of the bill, as signed into law. https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/1557/BillText/er/PDF
