The fact that they say “nickname” is insulting. As kids that are trans discover and explore their identity they change their name to match where they’re at in their journey. It’s not a nickname, it’s just simply their name.
We know that, and at some level the enforcers know that, but this is about cutting off all possible loopholes.
The cruelty is the point. This law has no reason to exist other than to directly harm the mental health of trans children.
