NC Bill Orders Any School Employee to Immediately Notify Parents if a Child Exhibits Gender NonconformityBy David Badash
A North Carolina bill attacking the states lesbian, gay, bisexual, and especially transgender and queer or questioning youth and young adults violates their right to privacy and places tremendous power in the hands of any person regardless of training or expertise who is employed by, contracted by, or is even a volunteer to any school district, court, or child placement agency.
Senate Bill 514 makes it illegal for any teacher, school administrator, contractor, and even volunteers, among other government agents, to not immediately inform, in writing, the parents or legal guardians of any child or young adult up to the age of 21 if that minor under its care or supervision has exhibited symptoms of gender dysphoria, gender nonconformity, or otherwise demonstrates a desire to be treated in a manner incongruent with the minors sex.
The notice shall describe all of the relevant circumstances with reasonable specificity, the legislation adds.
In other words, the bills author, Republican state Senator Ralph Hise (photo), a Trump acolyte, is deputizing every government agent, employee, volunteer, or contractor of a public child services agency, private child placing agency, court, or school district to not only determine what constitutes symptoms of gender dysphoria (a medical diagnosis) or gender nonconformity, an entirely subjective belief.

There's going to be a lot more of those if this Hise creep gets his way. Particularly the disowned/abused ones, and I can't help but think that's actually this asshole's goal, especially given what we know about the Gym Jordans, Matt Gaetzes and the rest of their ilk.

what they are trying to hide or repress about themselves.

(8,922 posts)First off, if a child exhibits gender nonconformity wouldnt the parents be the first to notice it? So why does the teacher have to notify parents about what they probably have known for some time? Of course, because this bullshit is all about getting it on the table to posture to discriminate against them and violate their rights.
I fucking hate this party of small government. Half a million people in NC dont have health insurance and this is what Republicans choose to focus on. NC is one of the most backward states in all of the U.S.

We are all aware of this silly assed bill, and the implications.
We truly have some homegrown whacks down here in NC- the one I can't figure out is Virginia Foxx. Bizarre as hell that she gets people up in the mountains to vote for her.

(58,785 posts)The similar veto by AR's Republican governor was subsequently overridden by AR's Republican controlled legislature, so we'd see. NC's Democratic governor, though, was elected partially in voter reaction to NC's notorious trans-persecution bathroom bill.

So is God LGBTQ, or disabled from a dominate gene, or disabled from an accident or war injury that He could have shielded you from? Oh wait, your parents did something that displeased Him so you are punished.
Fuck these people who cannot accept people who are different in any way. They need to grow up emotionally, not just in years.

(10,156 posts)I displayed a ton of feminine traits as a child. But I forced myself to act differently because I was always scared of my father. I hate these evil evil evil sacks of shit are putting these poor kids who are trying to learn who they are in physical and emotional danger because their obsession with who has a penis or vagina.
Fuck all of them. You'll never stop trans people from being themselves. Kiss our collective asses

(10,828 posts)You start singling out students for gender nonconformity, you open the door for all kinds of mistakes, unnecessary emotional trauma in a vulnerable population, not to mention green light the same negative attitudes for other groups deemed less than. This is an expansion of the current thinking within far right groups that only 'the right people' should be able to vote or get healthcare or . . . taken to its extreme even live.
The Nazis didn't suddenly come into power. They came into power through a series of steps, a series of normalizations and repetitive fear-mongering. Ugly words became not so shocking. Ridiculous genetic theories became half-way understandable, particularly if you belonged to the right-people club.
These haters need to be shut down or we will rue the day we turned a blind eye.
Dangerous, dangerous times!

(24,412 posts)They want to make sure that Trans children never dare bother to show themselves for fear of reprisals by their parents. Not all of them of course- more and more of them are supportive of their children but certainly not all and some can become extremely harmful and abusive if they find out their children are LGBTQ+

An extremely poorly defined "diagnosis" being performed by people with absolutely no training or expertise.
I don't see how there wouldn't end up being massive lawsuits brought by families.
This seems like posturing being taken too far.

(22,655 posts)Hated and rejected were the poofy girlie dresses. Angry Bird and Mario Brothers tee shirts and shorts were worn by the youngest generation with enthusiasm and were definitely better for tree climbing attire.
Mom and her girl cousins wore overalls and pigtails and enjoyed horseback riding, no reins, just manes and definitely no saddles. They were for sissies. The name for girls without gumption. Dresses were hated but required for Sunday School.
We would be in "a world of hurt" as the saying goes, if we had to follow this horrendous law.
