If passed, the bill would let parents sue anyone supporting a minor's social gender transition, from hairdressers to teachers and nonprofits.

      While visiting relatives in 1972 or so, I got beaten up in Little Rock by two brawny boys my age because my hair hung down to my lower back.

      “Hey, did your mama want a girl?”

      “Your mother sure wanted this boy.”

      That got them both off their porch and got me a nasty beating.

        They got the physical victory, but you got the emotional victory, and anyone who gets violent over a ‘Your Mom’ joke like that will NEVER live it down. They probably still think about you sometimes.

    Republican lawmakers in Arkansas have introduced a bill that would allow lawsuits against anyone who […] use a student’s chosen name that is different from their birth name

    Did you just call him Bob? Robert, call the name police! Now!!

        It’s a super religious state, something like 80% Christian, and a lot of those are the actual church going kind. It’s the home of the Duggars (18 kids and counting) crazy baptist type sect of ultra conservative loons

    Punishing women for being insufficiently feminine has always been a parallel goal of the anti-trans movement.
