OT "I'm Dealing With A Few Transgender Issues"

Lynching

 

Chico school district, in violation of state law, voted to require teachers and counselors to out any LGBTQ student who confides in them to parents. State school superintendent tried to explain state policy, was removed by security. LGBTQ people were called terrorists, pedophiles, and Marxists.

Long before most of you were born, when I was an activist at Cal, I was invited to give a talk at Chico State. I expected maybe a dozen people. When a friend and I arrived, we saw posters all over campus and a packed auditorium. Turns out I was the first out gay person to speak at Chico State. Even got a $200 honorarium, a fortune to me back then.

Looks like some in the audience didn't learn much. Or maybe the school board members weren't in that audience.

 

Threatening to read books! Horrors!

 

A Texas school district has revised their policies to now explicitly permit bullying and harassment of LGBTQ students.

 

The, "y'all Kaida" cults in these states are horrifying..when hate speech becomes the law, you've become the y'all Kaida of America.

 

Can somebody who is more educated on this please explain.
At one time this athlete was a female and is now a male?

I am so confused.

Transgender is when you identify as male when you were born with vagina or identify as female when you were born with penis. Is this correct?

What about non-binary, what does it mean?

Forgive my innocence.

 

Non binary people are biologically male or female but don't identify as a particular gender. They use gender neutral pronouns and claim attributes of both male and female. That's a simplification but short answer. Not all non-binaries present the same way.

 

What is the text of the policy exact?

Please just let us live for god’s sake

 

Ohio State Republicans outlawed all abortion. Not popular. Citizens collected enough signatures to put an initiative on November ballot to codify legal abortion in state constitution. Polls show solid 58 percent support.
So Republicans called a special election for August, when turnout is low, for a measure to raise threshold for passing citizen initiatives from simple majority to 60 percent.

They created a group with the Orwellian name Protect Women to support the initiative, made up of two anti abortion groups and a right wing Christian organization. They have large financial support. They are running ads that don't mention abortion or democracy, since they would lose on either. It is entirely a fear mongering campaign against trans people, although citizen initiative has zero to do with trans people. They have scare ads claiming minors would get gender surgery without parental consent. Men in girls' locker rooms.

They can't say they oppose democracy and want to force every woman and barely pubescent girl to carry pregnancy against their will. They would lose. So instead fear evil trans people.
A decade ago it was scary Muslims. Scary brown people always. Just hate someone enough to vote to hurt yourself if it might hurt them more.

 

One of my favorite stupid trans jokes
