The Orange County Public Schools system in Florida has announced guidance banning trans students from bathrooms and the use of nicknames.
Grrr. “Call people what they ask you to call them.” is not supposed to a difficult aspect of the Golden Rule to understand.
Call me Dark Lord Snugglypoo… …and I will question your life choices.
Anything you say, Dark Lord Snugglypoo.
No! FuglyDuck I assume is your given name and I will only call you FuglyDuck!
Well I will assume that Snuglypoo is your family name and FuglyDuck is your given name so I shall call you Dark Lord FuglyDuck Snugglpoo.
My liege…
It’s more honest anyhow.

I think the only people who vote in state elections are political nerds. The average person in Florida probably didn’t know that much about Desantis before he started trying to run for president.
My city demographics are about 80% white 20% Asian and the household income average is over 100k. It has changed a bit but it was fairly reliable GOP for a while. My polling place is walking distance from my house. If I am lazy I can drive and there is a massive parking lot. No lines, I have timed it, walking in to getting in the booth in under a minute. We are also (I was a poll worker a few years ago) able to brag that in the entire history of the provisional ballet system we have never once thrown out a vote. The goal is no eligible voter turned away.
The city next to mine is nearly all POC and reliable DNC, they have less places to vote, and every single election there are news reports of multiple hour long lines.
If voting didn’t matter they wouldn’t be working so fucking hard from denying it to certain groups. Vote vote vote!
The Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) system in Florida has announced new guidance that means trans teachers will be misgendered and students will need parental consent for “any deviation” from their legal name.
BRB: moving to Florida and renaming my child “His-Royal-Highness-And-Most-Eminent-The-Great-And-Sexy-Bartholomew-Mayweather-George-Anderson-Chaplet-RonDesantisIsAFucknutt I II III.
I always thought homeschooling was for kids with crazy parents, but if I had a child in OC Florida I would absolutely homeschool them until we could move somewhere less insane.
At this point, the parents would be crazy to keep living in Florida
We call my son and daughter by shortened versions of their first names. Both are in High School in OCPS. Today they brought home the forms for us to sign to allow them to go by those shortened names in school. I was shocked.
Perhaps Ronald DeSantis should be forced to get permission from his family inorder to continue to be called Ron.
Let’s also not forget Rafael “Ted” Cruz, Leslie “Gerald Ford” King and Donald “Don Jr.” Trump, Jr.
The sad thing is, my brother has a name like “Benjamin”. My mother is a very mentally ill individual and is extremely militant about her children’s names “I chose your names and you will go by exactly what I named you!” and refused to let him go by “Ben” or let us call him “Ben”. Except, outside of the house he always went by Ben, she just didn’t know it. I always called him Ben when we weren’t home, because it’s what he wanted to be called. So kids like this would have to bring a form home and get their ass kicked by mom for going by a name they aren’t supposed to? Fuck that.
My mom was the exact same way. “If I wanted you to be called that I would have named you that”.
I hope all media refer to him as Ronald until this goes away.
Florida - The Fascist State
The most fascist state, but definitely not the only one. Texas is a close second.
It’s a race to the bottom
How do you ban nicknames? What if they just state this is the name I prefer to be called? People named William being called will or bill, is that a nickname? Why are Republicans so damn stupid? Mfers trying to block porn hub like most the Internet isn’t filled with porn.
Hopefully everyone takes it this literally and all the bigoted Bobs/Bills etc feel as stupid as they are.
Next step: thought police that comes after you each time you think about another sex than your own!
That’s what the gay agenda has been after the whole time!?
So, when will the U.S. be sending their National Guard to Florida like they did during the integration of their southern schools?

Comments like this almost make me wish Lemmy had awards
If anyone was wondering, Florida’s government is safely now within the boundaries of “fascist policy making”.
please saw florida off from the rest off the us bugs bunny
Florida is cancer.
Can we just turn the state into an island and have it float out into the sea?
Bugs Bunny had the right idea.
There is enough trash in the ocean as it is.
A crater there would fill in with water
All this to bully the 10 whole trans kids. What goes through these fascist fucks heads
Hate gets votes
Fear maintains power.
At this point I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear that Florida had switched to using human skulls as a currency.
LGBTQ+ skulls to be specific.
How many orphan souls cans I get for 6 skulls?
Who run Bartertown?
