So even if parents want their kid referred to by a pronoun different to their birth sex, the state will forbid it.

Oh boy, a thread that is nothing but a tweet about BLT policies. Exactly what USGD needs.

So a law against lying about what you are?
I do not have an issue with that.
Parents can play make believe nonsense at home but when their child is in school he or she should enter reality.

How would you feel if your local school f__ked up your daughter's paperwork and told your daughter that she was a boy, and banned her from wearing girls' clothes or referring to herself as a girl? How would you feel is she was disciplined and suspended from school for not dressing and acting like a boy?

Do you have an actual justification for this that isn't "I think trans people are gross and should be killed?"?

Whats weird is the obsession around thinking it's "parents transing their kids".

That's almost never the case. You don't have to be an adult to have your own agency over yourself. It's not the parents or the teachers. Somehow a lot of people don't seem to think that any kid or teenager can think for themselves and decide for themselves what they are.

This is literally the post-Western society described in 1984 where they are literally stripping out, lobotomizing, if you will, the English language.

Florida is a post-American society.

You have to remember that reactionary is a bad faith troll who’s making these complaints because if he actually came out and admitted he liked this stuff he get ripped on in the replies

What's your justification for this assertion that trans people are "lying about who we are"? I'm guessing its the same "mistake your own subjective opinions on gender for objective reality" thing that all transphobes use.

Why is this even debated?

Why are we becoming a society in which we will get offended by every word someone says?

This goes for the right wing as well clearly. A conservative got so upset at me once just because I said "died by suicide" instead of "committed suicide", and some even got upset that I tend to use terms like "congressperson".

Not worth getting upset over.

This is adding social tension and awkwardness that is being entirely created by our own actions. It is not needed.

If someone wants to be called "he", "she", "it", "they".. whatever. But Do. Not. Get. Mad. When. Someone. Misgenders. You. Especially. By. Error.

If you look like a man, and have male features you will be called a "he" irrespective of your pronouns. What do these people expect ? That we all wear shirts or name tags that state their pronouns?

This bills and the debate on pronouns should be prohibited in society. It just is unnecessary and is a smoke screen "issue".

I don't understand how this proposed law would work. Does anyone know?

If I refer to the kid in the next seat by "they" do I get sent to social adjustment? Does it only pertain to teachers? What happens to them?

People are becoming politically correct, by trying to be politically incorrect. I guess you could call it reactionary etiquette?

I don’t know man.  I guess we’re gonna find out. This is no longer America. Looks like we’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

The planet in general seems to have gone stark raving mad. It certainly is making more salient my misantropic tendencies. Our species really sucks. Too bad I don't know the location of the looking glass.

Lying isn’t a crime (except in certain exceptional cases), nor should it be.

i was going to post some dark sarcasm, but, as with so much Republicans attempt these days, this is so vile and stupid, I just can't.

It will work itself out but unfortunately it appears that we have so far failed in bringing that process into our control. It will all work out whether we can take charge or even adjust to it or not.
