    They complain about political correctness, and they go and do shit like this.

      When the flip flopper in chief, Mitt Romney, is your only hope, or anyone named Cheney, we’ve got massive problems.

        Not that I disagree with you.

        But even as a staunch Euro leftist, I think it is okay that there are people I strongly disagree with, even strongly dislike because I think the fight for values that are against my personal morality.

        Both Romney and Cheney are such people.
        I don’t think they should have political power over other people.

        But they share at least a certain common ground with me that the fascists don’t.
        And for how little I actually like those people, I still value this very difference.

    I really can’t comprehend the level of hate that these motherfuckers must possess to write or support such a bill. I mean, let’s say you’re an incredible asshole who doesn’t think that trans people exist, like you think that you know who they are much better than they actually know themselves. Even with that as a baseline, isn’t it still just the polite thing to treat them with basic respect?

    If I found out that someone I just met preferred to use their middle name instead of their first name, I would 100% use that person’s middle name when addressing them. It’s just common courtesy. The same thing goes with a person who’s transitioning - I will use their preferred name, because I’m not a completely deplorable piece of shit.

    But this guy is way worse than someone who intentionally antagonizes people by using their disliked name when addressing them. This guy wants to actively punish anybody who has the rock bottom bare minimum of civility by destroying their lives and livelihoods.

    I just can’t grasp that level of hatred. How is it that this piece of shit shares enough genes with everybody else that he’s recognized as human?

    Ah yes, further diluting the term sex offender down to the point the label is meaningless.

    Makes perfect sense to combine teachers who accept pronouns, with people caught publicly urinating on the same list with violent rapists and convicted pedophiles… after all, it’s all the same.

        Yeah but they are afraid of everything, so they have to make sure they are rapinga child of the sex that won’t get them labeled as gay. Ye ole Republican mantra, rape is okay so long as it’s not gay.

          You wish they were this coherent. Just like the homophobic rightwinger scum in Hungary, which was caught in a huge gay orgy, they will gladly posture one thing in public then do another in private.

    As a practical result this is more of an attack on education than an attack on LGBT, who would want to be a teacher under such tyrannical rules?

    study to be a teacher in Missouri
    teach full time for $30,000/year or something
    become a sex offender, obviously can’t teach anymore
    can’t actually find a job at all
    forced to live in a designated trailer park for pedophiles
    become a lifelong welfare recipient

    nice one, conservatives

    How is anyone supposed to know anyone else’s pronouns without asking them?

    Are the teachers supposed to check the genitals of their students at the beginning of the year?

        But if everyone is naked, the poor boys will be distracted. I mean, they already veer off course when shoulders are out. I guess the only appropriate solution is to not have the girls at (naked) school. /s

        Zenra made some interesting videos on this topic. For college and adult students obviously.

      If you never speak about that individual, you won’t need to know their pronouns. If they quit the backbiting and remembered the golden rule, they wouldn’t need to “use pronouns” but then they wouldn’t even be Republicans anymore.

      These politicians love to create “problems to solve” instead of finding solutions to real problems we have.

        Lesson learned always use the wrong pronouns randomly so you don’t have to worry about it, who cares. Let’s everyone get together try to love one another right now!

        Or just avoid using pronouns altogether lol, I believe they works for any pronoun

        They their they’re

        Our your we us them

    Don’t like your teacher? Just flip your pronouns real quick and get them on the sex offender list. Problem solved.

    Fuck this bullshit

      What do you mean? Would a kid lie about their sex? Why mental health issues? Abuse? Clout? Trolling? What about if they are just confused? They would not become sex offenders or found guilty of anything for a honest mistake
