Punishing women for being insufficiently feminine has always been a parallel goal of the anti-trans movement.
This will primarily be used against black students.
It's both.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
This but it'll primarily be used against black students.
Lol, that was my initial thought as well.
As soon as I read the article, I was thinking the same thing! What the hell…
Are we back in the sixties?
Lol land of the free
Whoever told you that is your enemy.
Small government to tell me what to do... all controlling so I can tell YOU what to do.
Republican lawmakers in Arkansas have introduced a bill that would allow lawsuits against anyone who [...] use a student's chosen name that is different from their birth name
Did you just call him Bob? Robert, call the name police! Now!!
Ms sanders huckabee's state.
Was Arkansas always that conservative or this a recent thing?
yes its a gop stronghold Huckabee sanders, recently(kinda) made child labor legal there.
It's a super religious state, something like 80% Christian, and a lot of those are the actual church going kind. It's the home of the Duggars (18 kids and counting) crazy baptist type sect of ultra conservative loons
Hi, gender is a spectrum and while I fully identify as male and straight*, I had long hair as a child. If my school had tried to cut my hair by force, I would have absolutely thrown hands, and I was not a small child. Apparently I pushed a teacher into a wall as a first grader but I have no memory of doing so.
Hair is not "gender conforming" unless you're the most vanilla, thinks-flour-is-spicy, "mayonnaise has too much flavor" basic bitch in the universe. If you really think hair has two genders "long and short" then you are just the saddest sack of shit.
Hair is whatever the fuck you want it to be. I decided I didn't want long hair anymore, so I started getting it cut short. I even had it around 1/4in at one point just because of how easy it was to be done with. Now it's long because before I got married, my now-wife said she liked when it was longer, so I'm growing it out again until we decide it's long enough or I get tired of it again. If I wanted to shave most of it right now, I can do that. Nobody controls my hair but me, and nobody has any say in how I keep it, short of safety concerns. (protip: hair ties and a hair net when working with rotary tools, once you've seen a video you never want it to happen to you)
Get the fuck out of here with this weak ass bullshit policing children's hair.
They won't be happy until everyone is a straight white silent and obedient clone of each other.
*It's a spectrum, sometimes I want to feel pretty so if you had to stick me in a hole I'd say I'm straight but I'm sure someone could make a convincing argument that I'm at least a little fluid.

Just look at this fucking pussy-ass bitch though:
In all fairness I bet he gets a lot of gender fluids going...
Sploosh...or whatever the male equivalent is...which I guess is still sploosh.
Man for real. I’m a guy but I’ve had long hair nearly my entire life and have spent the last decade really making sure it was well cared for. Currently my hair goes down past my shoulders.
Fuck me for having nice hair though I guess
I've got a male friend who had the most luscious locks. Down to his chin. His wife made him cut it, and everyone who knew him was upset.
I'm old but the shortest my hair has been in the past 35 or 40 years is shoulder length. Every other spring I have the spouse chop it off to shoulder length then let it go again for two years.
I'm also in Arkansas.
But, not a kid so I guess it's okay for me to be my filthy hippie / sasquatch self according to this proposal.
Remember when long hair on lads just meant that they were hippies
They hate those too don't worry
They also said at one point that these guys were "corrupting the youth with their long hair."
While visiting relatives in 1972 or so, I got beaten up in Little Rock by two brawny boys my age because my hair hung down to my lower back.
"Hey, did your mama want a girl?"
"Your mother sure wanted this boy."
That got them both off their porch and got me a nasty beating.
They got the physical victory, but you got the emotional victory, and anyone who gets violent over a 'Your Mom' joke like that will NEVER live it down. They probably still think about you sometimes.
No, they probably never thought in their entire life.
The party of "small government".
US Taliban.
*Catholiban ;)
Party of personal freedom!
Heil the land of the free!
Do I have to put penises in my hair now or something?
Only if the penis belongs to your pastor.
Freeedom! 🦅🦅🦅
That's why I used the word primarily
Y'all, ah'm worried about the Beava.
