Either way, this sounds like a primo opportunity for some malicious compliance by never referring to any student by a pronoun.

And then Karens will complain about it, getting school staff fired. Which will then result in the asshats who made these policies choosing more compliant replacements. Because double standards aren't a bug, or even just a feature; they're the entire point.
Biden was in a tough situation here, it was either veto the bill and let the military budget flounder for a month given his replacement will sign the bill anyway in as soon as he takes office or sign the bill and end up with the same results only without military personnel being in limbo until Trump takes over. It's not a good situation for trans kids, but it wouldn't be either way, unfortunately.
. . . . yeah, honestly, I'd be okay with the military having less right now. I know the world is a shitbucket, but we've spent the vast majority of our funds for the entirety of our lives on the ******* thing. Surely it can withstand a month and, if not, then we need to re evaluate the whole goddamn thing.
It's wild that the party that supposedly cares so much about the military once forced the Postal Service to set aside enough money to cover its employees' entire retirement plans, but forces the military to live paycheck-to-paycheck as it were.
Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months
Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta's “sensitive content” policy which restricts "sexually suggestive content"

Hiding our existence on social media platforms won't make us go away. All it does is hurt those who need to understand who they are. I wouldn't be quite the mess I am if trans people were more accepted when I was growing up in the 80's and early 90's. Visibility matters.......

Sad, thing, if you shut down a lot of right wing extreme alt right media it would help. But then they’d claim if they were censored they must have been right all along. I think Hilary once said to shut down Breitbart before she lost the 2014 election. Then she later said she was right after she lost and at the time I wasn’t sure if it was a free speech violation. But after seeing all of Trump’s presidency and how it emboldened a lot of bigoted people and even losing friends on Facebook that didnt seem to be bigoted until the Trump presidency it was an eye opener. There were so many videos on YouTube that are now taken down saying terrible things about Hilary and Bill Clinton that were most likely not true. Thing is you would need major deplatforming of a lot of racist alt right media and accept a negative backlash and then claiming victim hood for being silenced. Heck trying to assasinate the Donald only made things worse and he won. I lost interest in politics after the capital riots. I don’t get emotionally affected. But it’s too aggravating and depressing and shows confirmation of things that worried me aboUT human nature and gullibility from media that even I’ve fell for over the years. That it’s just too aggravating and depressing now. None of my dark humour can comepare to the nonsense that maybe was always there but is so much more public now.
Man, they saw Cthulhu lost their minds and now hate everything.
Arkansas moves forward on criminalizing drag shows - LGBTQ Nation
The measure endangers trans people, too.www.lgbtqnation.com
Why are they going more in this direction to appeal to social majorities or only because these companies are much biget now and have to appeal to the majority? i Haven’t been paying attention to politics lately as my interest just died. And a lot of this seems so messed up.Is Meta just trying to make everything worse?
