Indiana is among at least 10 states that have enacted laws prohibiting or restricting students from using pronouns or names that don’t match their sex assigned at birth, a restriction that opponents say further marginalizes transgender and nonbinary students. Most of the laws were enacted this year and are part of a historic wave of new restrictions on transgender youth approved by Republican states.

The measures are creating fear for transgender students and sowing confusion for teachers on how to comply but still offer a welcoming environment for everyone in their classes.

      It’s only small government when it comes to taxes, but not trans people or uteruses.

        No, it’s only when it comes to the rich and powerful’s taxes, and even then that’s not true because they use big gov to ensure their friends can jump thru loophole after loophole while keeping us normies far away and instead crank up our own taxes.

        Nothin small about it

          And you are absolutely correct. The proper size of government according to conservatives ebbs and flows to fit their agenda.
