‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill - Florida
- Thread starter IUclover
- Start date
LMAO re our inner asshole. For sure. I will say that you give the left too much credit. It appears NBC doctored photos of her to make her look more feminine. There's an agenda on the left that the right is adding steroids to and running with
Which is nuts (you know, if true) b/c they're applying traditional, unrealistic (in some cases) female beauty standards to a transgender woman.
Untie that knot for me.
And didn't Adidas have a commercial about Trans athletes winning. I know people were pissed. Not sure what it was.
Mmmmmmmm. redheads.
I think mental health is a better answer (as mental illness seems to imply it's 100% internal. The 'you're crazy and we need to take things away from you as punishment because you're sick and how you naturally feel can be controlled and needs to be changed').
Mental health includes outside forces, like social unacceptance which leads to being shunned, bullied, outcasted and sometimes coerced.
Ya know, the things this bill seems to be giving favor to.
Mental Health Disorder works for me.
Included in that classification is Gender Identity Didorder.
Someone wants to be something they are not….Mental Health diagnosis.
Someone thinks they are something they are not….Mental Health diagnosis.
Mental Health diagnosis…not a different class of people
The lion's share of the bill makes it incumbent upon the school to keep parents informed. There's never anything wrong with that.
This is what people find offensive, to the extent they've bothered to read it: "prohibits classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in certain grade levels." 1) in certain grade levels why would those topics be appropriate to discuss, and 2) how would they be relevant to the subjects being taught at that grade level?
I'm all for acceptance and making everyone comfortable. I don't understand why this bill is so triggering when it's restricted to certain grade levels
i think it could be a lure for Dems to go after it just to be contrarian, and politically step on their own dicks or vjs or whatever, in doing so.
Dems should just stay away, and let it be the "nothingburger" you identify it as.
Uncle Mark is ok with this
Poll shows 52% of Florida Democratic voters back 'Don't Say Gay' bill
Commissioned by local PAC Floridians for Economic Advancement, the survey asked 701 likely voters their thoughts on the Gov. Ron DeSantis (right)-championed legislation.www.google.com
The bill is popular because stuff like this
happens more than you think. People are sick of this shit. Not conservatives, not Republicans, people.
don't forget Biden tooNo one was teaching kids sexual stuff. Sex ed comes well after 3rd grade. There was no issue that needed to be fixed.
Maybe you should stop being a homophobe.
If you want to leave kids alone, then stop supporting pedophiles like Gaetz and Trump
Because it's about intent and trend.
Of course parents need to be informed. Is there an epidemic of teachers not informing parents all of a sudden to the point that it has to go above the standard teacher parent contract and go into written law? That seemed to be a given and is already institutionally ingrained.
So then it's political theater.
Secondly and more damning is do we need to censure and restrict the ability of a teacher to teach a kid, which involves trust building and massive interpersonal relationship building and a very high level of emotional intelligence.
Really??
Has this been a problem or is it one that has been created for just political theater? I believe the latter
Lastly there seems to be a trend of liberty restrictions, particularly in the teaching profession because again, that's the easiest arena to wage a political culture war (again, the children!!! Not mocking it, just stating that it's human nature to lose your mind over children so it's pure catnip for politicians to try to manipulate).
Ultimately, the term 'culture war' simply means trying to legislate/politicize culture which is the absolute opposite of what our country's founding was trying to set up. They knew (Jefferson even said) that culture, beliefs and social morals are constantly evolving so get it the f out of politics.
Speaking of right wing culture wars, MTG had a pretty good one at a recent rally.
She literally combined two phobias into one (homophobia and transphobia). She can't keep all of her culture fears straight anymore.
This is the kindof mindset that's pushing these laws.
As I said before on the political stump, whatever, but now it's getting indoctrinated.
Not cool.
Political theatre is on both sides. Masks are political theatre. Biden just signed an anti lynching bill. Is that really a problem we're facing today. No. It's just theatre. MTG is just a nut. Like the Squad and the rest. We are going to have to disagree here on the bill at issue. Tommy I will say that you do think about things and aren't just a partisan parrot. I enjoy reading your posts, and often learn from them - even tho I often disagree with you. We just don't all think alike, but trying to see other's point of view is important and I think you do that. Kudos
Yes. What about it? Somebody get ya?

the bill's intent was a "trigger" trap from day one, and the idiot faction of the Dem party couldn't swallow the bait fast enough.
school systems shouldn't encourage teaching 1st through 3rd graders that overthrowing elections that don't go your way is ok either, but i haven't seen that bill come out of Fla or any other state yet.
Not too familiar.
Seems to be a crazy person law at first glance where you can be forced institutionalized on an allegation?
Why do you ask (is it the definition of mental health conversation or pointing out that there have been reactive and damaging laws based on fear since the beginning of time. I agree on both btw).
She along with Boebert, Cawthorn, Jordan, Gohmert, etc are symptoms.
Think about the collection of rocket scientists that looked at the field of contenders and said "Yeah xxx represents me and my concerns!"
Apparently large swaths of the country is mean, stupid,...
I asked you in the context of informing parents about their children in schools. In Florida the Baker Act has been abused to institutionalize problematic school kids for 72 hours without parental consent. It’s big business for the institutions who get paid for those three days.
Check out the video in this link.
Well, if a student has a problem that they don't feel they can go to their parents for, the school is the obvious alternative. Say, a kid suffering low self-esteem that is compounded by abusive parenting. School administrators and guidance counselors are there for many reasons, but surely one of them is when the parents are the potential adversaries, right?
One of my concerns with this bill is the possibility that school officials won't be able to fill this role when the problem the student is experiencing somehow encompasses sexuality or other health and identity issues. For example, let's say a kid feels like he might be gay. His father has made it clear in old-fashioned ways that no nancy boys are accepted in their house. Such a kid might want to go to the adults at school for advice/guidance. This law might make those adults feel the need to restrict their guidance.

Teachers Who Insist They're Not Teaching Your Kid About Sex Also Weirdly Outraged By Ban On Teaching Your Kid About Sex
ORLANDO, FL—On July 1st, teachers throughout Florida will no longer be permitted to encourage discussions about sex with children in grades kindergarten through grade 3. Florida teachers have been adamant that they've never encouraged such discussions in their classrooms but they are weirdly...

The bill only applies to second grade and under. The school system has no business trying to be, as you say, an alternative parent at that age. There are sound reasons why Florida has different rules for 3rd grade and up. If it were up to me, and make the cut-off at a higher age. One fourth grade teacher reported that over 50% of her class claimed sex identity issues. No way to verify since she tweeted it. But if true, that shows a big problem for young kids. A problem that can only be created by adults. The power of suggestion has a lot of power at that age. The birds and the bees talk comes at a higher age. So should all the sexual identity talk which I believe has become a fashion statement and well beyond a legitimate sex confusion situation. The sad part is that legislation is necessary to deal with this. The sadder part is the political bullshit the Democrats, media, Mickey Mouse, and celebrities have created about it.
Abuse is a different matter. All states have mandatory reporting laws
I feel sorry for people like Lia Thomas and Caitlin Jenner. I believe the probabilities are when they reach my age and look at their likely empty and unsatisfying life, they will wonder WTF? At least Jenner took that step at an older adult. Thomas is much younger. Adolescents are the ones most at risk from the pressure of transsexual evangelicals. Too many are coming to see different emotional problems as rooted in being in the wrong body and adolescents have problems anyway. Enough young lawyers came through my firm who were dissatisfied with being a lawyer and other problems to show me that people in their twenties have issues about who they are too. If they see changing sex identity as a solution instead of other changes because of increasing social acceptance, I don’t think society is doing them a favor.
NBC, Disney, Democrats and all those who celebrate transsexuals are doing enormous harm to some troubled youth and some adults.
I don't know anything about the psychology of all of that stuff Coh. I can only make it about 7-10 years and get bored and want to change everything up

Ha. I get that. That’s what I liked about law practice. It was always a different job with no real boss.
Everything I read about aging, makes the point of how important social contacts are and how damaging isolation is. Loneliness is becoming a real problem through society. . Thomas has set pool, team, conference and national records or won championships. Ordinarily, that is a time for camaraderie and celebration, but not for her. Sad.
I thought that very thing looking at those pics. I wondered if they were out of context and whether her teammates were waiting to celebrate with her or not
She still has male junk and is around the locker room and showers in full view. Teammates have said in confidence that she is isolated. No word about whether Thomas is attracted to females or whether she becomes aroused in a male way.
Okay. Through third grade. Do you have a point to make or do you think you now get an “A” for the class.

He still has male parts. He is apparently isolated. He is attracted to females. And all of this is because he is a he, not a she.
Yes, you state your misunderstandings as facts. That affects your credibility negatively. Your defensive response to goat doesn’t help, which leads any honest reader of your posts to wonder about any facts you assert.
