#Florida yellow pages full
This is intended to erase trans and non-binary people, full stop. This pronoun bill also isn’t in the service of protecting children from the “abuse” of gender affirming care. But it’s pretty easy to target a small group in the minority when you’re the big bad Florida government because said group doesn’t have political power to fight back. But Republicans would have you believe that kids are changing their pronouns on a whim left and right. The number of people who use pronouns that don’t match the sex on their birth certificate is, in the grand scheme of things, pretty small. It’s a dumb law addressing an imaginary problem. That bill declares that it must be the policy of all schools that ‘a person’s sex is an immutable biological trait’ and ‘it is false’ to use a pronoun other than the sex on a person’s birth certificate.” The bill, according to CNN, “restricts teachers, faculty and students from using the pronouns of their choice in public schools. The Florida legislature also banned pronoun use at schools. By claiming to be protecting trans kids from the “abuse” of medical care, they’re actually making any kids who actually are being abused less safe by taking attention and resources away from the real problem. I have yet to see Republican lawmakers as up in arms about actual child abuse as they are about the existence of trans kids. Child abuse is a real thing that happens to far too many kids. The bill treats such health care options, which are supported by the American Medical Association, the same as it would a case of child abuse.” Under the legislation, a court can intervene to temporarily remove a child from their home if they receive gender-affirming treatments or procedures. They’ve also banned any kind of gender-affirming care for minors and deem that kids receiving such care should be taken away from their families.Īccording to CNN, lawmakers passed “a bill that prohibits transgender children from receiving gender-affirming treatments, including prescriptions that block puberty hormones or sex-reassignment surgeries. So in Florida we have the “don’t say gay” bill, which prohibits discussion of LGBTQ+ people or topics in grade school and is resulting in a purge of diverse books from school libraries.
That is, of course, not surprising considering that LGBTQ+ people have been reduced to our private parts in order to dehumanize and vilify us for decades. DeSantis keeps talking about genital mutilation of minors as if there’s some kind of mutilation epidemic ( there isn’t ) but also as if that’s all there is to trans and non-binary people. If you were to believe Florida Republicans, they are heroically preventing kids from becoming transgender. And they have been hella busy passing anti-trans bills that Gov. Republicans have a supermajority in Florida and the governorship. Things for trans and non-binary people in Florida, especially kids, are just getting worse and worse by the day.
