All this to bully the 10 whole trans kids. What goes through these fascist fucks heads

These are the sort of folks who, when they were told they had to let black children use the town swimming pool, instead shut down the entire town recreational athletics program and filled the pool in with concrete.

And told their kids to blame it on the black people.

Hey kids? When someone tells you to hate, they’re trying to make your world worse.

So is DeSantis going to start going by Ronald now?

The amount of abject cruelty that is being leveled at trans children in Florida is fucking horrifying. This is legally enforced humiliation and bullying. This alone would have been more than enough to drive me to suicide when I was a child myself. And they are absolutely aware that this will cause that. Ron plans to orchestrate a genocide in Florida. He’s essentially forced every single person, company, doctor, politician, educator, teacher, any professional human being or group of human beings who values human life out of the state. When he’s done all that will remain are the most openly violent fascists and all the people who are too impoverished to leave the state. Of which many such impoverished disenfranchised people are trans children. How such open fascist power has not been internationally condemned and how he himself has not faced expulsion from any political office and faced serious legal actions from the government of the United States is beyond me. I thought world War 2 and the rise of fascism in Europe was supposed to have taught us something. Evidently not.

We call my son and daughter by shortened versions of their first names. Both are in High School in OCPS. Today they brought home the forms for us to sign to allow them to go by those shortened names in school. I was shocked.

Perhaps Ronald DeSantis should be forced to get permission from his family inorder to continue to be called Ron.

I always thought homeschooling was for kids with crazy parents, but if I had a child in OC Florida I would absolutely homeschool them until we could move somewhere less insane.

This is insane. Fascist.

If anyone was wondering, Florida’s government is safely now within the boundaries of “fascist policy making”.

Florida makes me think that we would be better off with just 49 states.

At this point I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear that Florida had switched to using human skulls as a currency.

please saw florida off from the rest off the us bugs bunny

What about kids that prefer to be called by their middle name? Would that need permission to not be called by their first name? What if they go by their middle name, Edward, but prefer to be called Ed? Would they need two permission forms? Lol

As an outsider (and someone with this name situation), I’m morbidly curious about what happens when a kid has a name that’s the opposite gender as them, either because it’s a gender neutral name in their culture, or because their parents just named them like that? Because I have a sneaking suspicion they’re suddenly going to be fine with ‘unapproved nicknames’ when their alternative is calling a boy Vyvian or a girl Terrance

Aha i remember when conservatives claimed to be the party of small government.

Grrr. “Call people what they ask you to call them.” is not supposed to a difficult aspect of the Golden Rule to understand.
