North Carolina Republican lawmaker wants the state to police what transgender teachers can wear

I think conservatives think about transgender folks more than transgender folks do.

North Carolina is ground 0 for laws about bathrooms.

They spend so much more resources on the extreme minority. Fuck groceries. Fuck healthcare. Fuck your old people, job protection, gas, housing, stupid shit like data centers and billionaires.

It's the trans.

This dumb bitch used to go to my parents' church. She left because the church decided to support their queer members. My mother, a veteran teacher in Wake County, is going to speak at the legislature to give her a piece of her mind, especially due to her harassment of a trans teacher in the county. The teachers here overwhelmingly do not support her or the conservative bullshit this legislature tries to force (much to their disappointment). They enforce the messed up rules intended to harm queer kids with cis kids, to get the parents motivated to push back (like refusing to call a cis kid by their nickname unless the parents have submitted the right paperwork for an alternate name), and will not out children to their parents. Stand by our teachers and help them resist legislation like this.

edit: the entire reason for her introducing this law is because she's awfully pressed about a trans music teacher existing.

That would be blatant sexism even if it weren't being aimed at a trans individual.

There's just no good reason. Might as well legislate that girls wear pink and boys wear blue. Equally as baseless and invasive of free expression.

Wake County officials told WRAL that employee dress codes cannot be enforced in a way that discriminates against a protected class, which includes gender identity.

Not for long. This is a red state, not a “purple state” despite misconceptions. The republican-dominated state Supreme Court will just enshrine whatever terrible thing they want into law regardless of legislation.

Gone from worrying about students’ genitals to worrying about teachers’

It's so nice that U.S. politicians give people these kinds of things to talk about so they don't have to focus on the healthcare and food and education they're not getting.

Half her face looks slightly larger than the other side.
