    They are trying to legislate haircuts. From the article: “The bill defines “social transition” as: “The process by which an individual adopts the name, pronouns, and gender expression, such as clothing or haircuts, that match the individual’s gender identity and not the gender assumed by the individual’s sex at birth. Teachers found guilty of “supporting social transition” would be placed in the same sex offender registration category as Tier 1 sex offenders, which is Missouri’s lowest level but includes possession of child porn or attempting a sexual act.”

    Telling a kid it’s ok to have a particular hairstyle or clothing is going to be equivalent to possession of child porn?

      Remember:

      The irrationality is the point.

      It doesnt have to make sense, if you just hate people and want then to suffer. There is no deeper meaning, its just vile people wanting to make your life worse, because your existence is making them slightly uncomfortable.

      As a cisgender male with long hair… fuck that. I grew my hair because of metal music not because of gender norms.

    I’m from the north and call groups “you guys” all the time, regardless of gender. People from the south call everyone y’all. The south has always had the proper pronouns, they just wanna be dicks about it apparently

    I know it’s not the most affirming, but in places like Missouri, Florida, Texas etc, people should just use they/them pronouns when talking with/about minors. Like, every kid.

    Adults, ideally, can move states if they are oppressed to a more educated area of the country. Kids don’t have that option, and until its safe for all children to be who they are in those states, we need to protect all of em

    Does an MtF Taylor exist at the school? Record a teacher making a comment about Taylor Swift’s hair and quote it out of context and bam! The teacher’s life is now ruined.

    This is the next level abusable version of “Imma call in a threat to get out of a test tomorrow.”
    This is “I’m going to end teach’s whole career”
