Yeah, the "parental rights" excuse was useful till it wasn't useful. The parents who support their kids' lived experiences called the hypocrisy out and made it clear to everyone. So now they conscript the teachers they called "radical leftists" and "indoctrinators" to enforce their gender binary by bulldozing over any parental permissions to socially affirm their children.
The mask is off. They're just cruel, inhumane bigots.
It was never about parental rights just like it was never about fairness/safety in sports just like it was never about bathrooms just like it was never about making sure public records are accurate just like it was never about…
Anyone who thinks they’re being moderate or reasonable by supporting these things needs to understand they’re likely supporting trans peoples’ extinction (along with losing some of their own rights too)
The odds are not good, but this is obviously discrimination. Their other decisions haven’t exactly been clear cut anti-trans decisions. My hope is that the wording of this bill restricts physician treatment plans and shows exactly how big government is restricting personal freedoms and forces harm on the child.
Exactly. I keep seeing posts about "trans maximalists" being the problem. But all I really see are trans people fighting for their right to exist, fighting for their dignity, and fighting for basic access to healthcare. When your "opponents" believe you don't have a right to any of these, there is no middle ground.
Surely seems like a violation of our right to Free Speech. Call me whatever I decide!! Or I might start misgendering every teacher. WTF. Like THIS stupidity will improve test scores, logical thinking, mental heath, etc etc
What is it with these anti-trans ignorant individuals in MO. I can not believe how vial they are or what gives them the right to dictate their beliefs to others. What proof do they have that any of these laws that they want will change anything in an individual’s makeup. These bills are discriminatory and the language vague. IT’S TIME TO VOTE THESE IGNORANT POLITICIANS OUT. THE PEOPLE OF MO NEED TO WAKE UP
A non-story story. That bill has exactly ONE sponsor -- the guy who filed it. Reps file crazy bill like this all the time. Not exactly new IMHO. https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/SB1085/2026
What the actual fuck?! If they want to play this game I say let’s play hardball. My full name is:
Elizabeth Jane Erbe Wilcox
They damn well better waste their time and energy by calling me that because I would no longer respond to my preferred name:
Liz
How assholian can they be?
How disrespectful of them to strip parents of their rights!
Teachers/parents, team up to help waste classroom time by calling each student by their full name! Make sure each student calls each other and their teachers by their full names!
Nurses/doctors, team up to waste patient time! Gonna be some loooong surgeries!
Ohhhh, imagine a corporate shareholder Zoom meeting! And no more cute “chosen names” for medications!
As you can tell my mind is just spinning with all these ideas. Most of which I would not actually practice beyond the classroom.
I have said repeatedly that transphobes have no stopping point, that it was never just about sports or medical care. This proves it. These people are obsessed with destroying trans people and all their civil rights. All of them.
Oh, I am so very grateful for this community! Your irreverence is exactly what I needed! For Erin for getting this info out there so we can respond in kind. Keep standing strong everybody!! Our courage is contagious!!
They are quite clear about their goal being to drive us from public existence.

This is so ripe for discrimination counter suits.
Appeal, appeal, appeal, Scotus says its ok.

There can be no compromise with people who believe we do not even exist.
We win, they lose -- they lose everything they want for us. That's all there is.

I don’t think it’s too far-fetched to assume MO(fo) is prepping to change its nickname to the “Show Me Your Genitals” state.

So, if the parent had there child’s name changed legally, how would this even in the slightest be constitutional. First and Fourteenth Amendment

Looks like I'll be going to speak at more Missouri sub committees this year 🤦🏻♀️
