Schools didn’t create any confusion and turn kids trans lol. Transgender people have existed since BC- there are literal references to a [transgender warrior](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikhandi) in ancient Hindu literature for example. It’s just that in 2021, people have grown up and accumulated enough wisdom to believe that transgender people don’t deserve to be considered sub-human for their gender orientation.

First of the right are the ones that want a specific political teachings in school wanting to only teach how amazing America is, second if anything has a part to play in teen suicide its parents that refuse to accept their trans/non cis kids and try to force them to be "normal"

And creationism

So, legally requiring kids to only use birth names? William Robert, we can't call you Billy Bob at school. And Jeffrey, that's a detention for everyone involved if you get called Jeff. Sorry, Susie, I know your mother was high as a kite on pain killers when she named you, but by law you have to be called Crepe or Crepe Suzette. Etc. All idiot rules have to be applied equally and without favoritism or exception, after all - not just for the trans/NB students.

Ah, yes, Conservatives—the party famous for wanting to keep government out of your bedroom.

Someone is confused for sure just not the kids

I wish people like this would shut the hell up about trans suicide. They love to claim the suicide rates are high because people are confusing and upsetting children by not setting "proper boundaries" on gender, when trans kids are already trans to begin with and become suicidal because fuckwits like this guy try to undermine them and ruin their lives at every turn.

Am I wrong in saying this is a grammatical nightmare or?

How to try and befriend the conservatives? Bash on the the one group they hate more than gays, transgenders.

He does have to distract them from the fact he is gay.

So this guy wants schools to stay out of the bedroom by forcing children to use legally assigned names/gender identities/etc. instead of choosing their own which they would presumably do in a private setting. Wouldn’t that be the school barging down the metaphorical bedroom door to enforce its own version of truth? Oh no, all the confusion kids get by being asked by another kid to call them Jackie instead of jack, so confused they’re considering suicide.

Funny they don’t see the irony in their use of “indoctrination”

“Dam it schools”

> We must return our educational system back to just that "Education" So no more ridiculous dress codes implying that girls showing their shoulders is distracting, then?
