The bill, if passed, would also ban accommodations for transgender students, including a teacher’s use of a student’s “preferred gender pronoun, if the perceived or expressed gender is inconsistent with the student’s” sex assigned at birth. Schools found to be in violation of the policy could be fined up to $500,000 in damages, the bill states.

Ah, there it is. The REAL story. >

Trying to implement a 'why would anyone be against this' solution for a ridiculous problem they made up, while combining that with extremely discriminatory measures, so only attention is paid to the former and not the latter. 
Classic smoke and mirrors, it would be funny if it weren't so sad. >

If its a rediculous problem they made up, how can it be a discriminatory measure? >

Read the article and the comments. It’s all about attacking transgender people. >

And rightly so, children have no business determining their own sexuality if they are healthy males and females, the only acceptable accommodation to a transgender person should be for a person who is born with a physical disability that needs to be accommodated for(clear need to identify with one of two genders).
Children do things they are taught, even if it is true that there is a child that knows from the age of 5 that they are in the wrong body, it is not worth the hundreds of false positives it will take to accommodate this one person.
There are far more pervasive and tragic disabilities that need to be accommodated for, than creating the equivalent of wheelchair ramps for a disability that affects less than a dozen people per city. >


There are far more pervasive and tragic disabilities that need to be accommodated for

Which ones are not being accommodated for? >

you know very well that there are far more prevalent scenarios in humans that are not being addressed, and instead the focus is being shifted to this strange sob story, when there are far more tragic sob stories out there which are ignored.
The main point is that this is a non issue, it is very wrong that this one thing has come to the forefront from the endless list of comparable issues.  And it also trivializes people who are actually disabled from birth, and need surgery or help with joining one side or the other.
Everyone is either a man or a woman, and wearing a costume does not change that, some people require the equivalent of a prosthetic to help them live, and those people are trans.  people who are wheelchair bound are a far larger and more serious issue than some dude who feels comfortable in a dress because he wants to identify with a stereotype. >


some people require the equivalent of a prosthetic to help them live, and those people are trans. people who are wheelchair bound are a far larger and more serious issue

Okay, but I asked which ones are not being accommodated.  These scenarios have accommodations.  People being trans takes nothing away from people with these situations. >

all of society has to change to accomodate trans, and the majority of kids who claim to be trans, are not, their perspective is created through society, in the same way that a certain haircut becomes popular.
and there are many disabilities that are not being accomodated, and you know this, light sensitivities, rare allergies, strange birth defects etc.  Things more prevalent than a person believing he is in the wrong body.  Disabilities that the world understands would be too rediculous to accomodate. >


all of society has to change to accomodate trans, 

In what way?

and there are many disabilities that are not being accomodated, and you know this, light sensitivities, rare allergies, strange birth defects etc.

In what ways are they not being accommodated?

Do you have any stats on this? >


The bill, if passed, would also ban accommodations for transgender students, including a teacher’s use of a student’s “preferred gender pronoun, if the perceived or expressed gender is inconsistent with the student’s” sex assigned at birth. Schools found to be in violation of the policy could be fined up to $500,000 in damages, the bill states.
In just the first few weeks of the year, state lawmakers across the U.S. have introduced over 140 bills targeting LGBTQ rights and queer life, according to an NBC News analysis, with the majority of these bills focusing on transgender young people.

That's the actual point of the bill. Don't get distracted by the nonsensical "litter box" lie. >

It’s almost as if that whole viral litter box story was a cover >

It was rage bait. Tell a hard to believe lie, then pull shit like this because they were already primed for it. >

Republicans once again boldly solving problems that don’t exist. >

The irony. Welp, makes sense why they wouldn't want people to focus on the ACTUAL horrific reason why they are there. >

Yes i thought the whole thing, from the real reason the litter buckets are there to the made up controversy around them is a microcosm of America today. >

“The bill, if passed, would also ban accommodations for transgender students, including a teacher’s use of a student’s “preferred gender pronoun, if the perceived or expressed gender is inconsistent with the student’s” sex assigned at birth.

They penalize the school, already short on money, for treating students like humans.   Jesus, at that point, I’d identify as other than human myself! >

Of course this is related to trans people. What is with the sudden hate towards trans people in America? Last I saw every politician who ran on anti-trans platform lost in the midterms? Have they not learnt? >

Sudden?
Pretty sure a country founded by psychotic Puritans who were booted out of their original countries was never going to create an accepting or kind society... >

Yeah sudden is definitely the wrong word, but it seems like really out now >

They're working their way through the disadvantaged.  They lost the battle of hating on gays, so they've moved on to the next group.  They'll lose this battle eventually too, you can't stop progress.
The question is, who comes next? >

Don't kid yourself, they haven't conceded the war on gays either. With the Supreme Court they put together, there's no reason to believe we're not going to see challenges to not just the Obergefell ruling on gay marriage, but of Lawrence v. Texas ruling that found anti-sodomy laws to be unconstitutional. >

Let me guess, they fell for the "kitty litter trays" in school hoax? >

Good thing this was never a problem >

It's an anti trans law...but sadly that's so common it doesn't get reported anymore.
Every litter box article is not about therians or furries, it's an anti trans " oh, you identify as THAT do you?" . 
It's reducto absurmUm harry, not reducto ABsurdum.
"The two-page bill, which is primarily a measure seeking to prohibit schools in the state from accommodating transgender youths, includes a subsection aimed at a different — and theoretical — category of students" >

Educational opportunities are quickly diminishing for poor Glorback the Soulshatterer.  This "North Dakota" may have turned him back now, but one day he will return with his Orcish hordes and drink brandy from your very skulls! >

I was wondering if this was that stupid "schools are letting kids go to the bathroom in litter boxes" thing again.  Yes, it is.

This section of the bill appears to be connected to an urban myth about litter boxes in U.S. schools that spread among conservative Republicans ahead of the November election. An NBC News report published in October found this myth — about schools providing accommodations, like litter boxes, for children who identify as cats — to be untrue.

I'm sure this won't be the last time, but this doesn't happen. The closest we get to this is when schools keep buckets of kitty litter around. It's primarily used to clean up spills, but teachers have also considered using it for when they are doing long lockdown drills and their kids can't hold in needing to go to the bathroom.
In this case, the problem isn't "kids are identifying as cats," but instead the problem is "schools are trying to prepare for school shootings by having lockdown drills, but they last so long that kids are spoiling themselves." The issue here isn't the kitty litter, but the fact that we can't seem to "solve" school shootings except by "just hide and hope the shooter doesn't see you when they inevitably come by." >

Uhg, why do I get the feeling that this is conservatives trying to justify their slippery slope argument against transgenderism.
"if we allow boys to pretend to be girls, what's next, people pretending to be animals all the time?" >

Because it is >

2nd half of the article states that this also affects people who identify as trans. This is actually an anti-trans bill. >


"Yes we have people who would like to claim themselves as animals such as cats and dogs," VanWinkle wrote in an email.

No, you don't. >

After seeing these people's hysteric reaction, if they don't already, they probably will.
Kids will claim they're all kinds of shit to stuck up conservatives just to make their heads explode.  That is 100% something I would have done if I got the chance. >

Hell I'd do it and I'm a grown man. >

republicans and freaking the fuck out about things that aren't actually happening. Name a more iconic duo >

They really do love championing against problems that only exist in their heads. >

Like, of all the issues North Dakota has, and this is what they wanna focus on lol >

Well, this doesn’t cover people who identify as robots, which are not animals, so they still have a pretty big loophole to close.
Also, they seem to be implying that humans are a kind of animal, which might not go over too well with some of the people who are worried about their kids pooping in kitty litter at school.
In any case asking every student to report what kind of animal they think they are is a nice opportunity for self-reflection. >

I'm sure "if you were an animal what kind of animal would you be" was an activity I did somewhere around, like, third grade. >

Overlooking a list of real problems, Republicans once again gravitate to culture wars against an army of straw men. >

Okay but, what if I identify as three raccoons in a trench coat stacked up on top of each other that identify as a human? >

Touche >

This is because of the false narrative conservatives have been pushing that it's some common thing to identify as an animal. They do this especially in association with trans people because they want to use it to discredit and be able to further legalislate against trans people >

Republicans love these issues  because they can make it look like they’re doing something to their hateful voters without actually having to do anything. >

They really took that cat litter story to heart. >

This is, of course, added to defer from the real purpose of the bill: expelling transgenders. >

I wish I had a job where I got paid for solving non-existent problems with fake solutions.
On second thought, no, I don't. That would be a fucking stupid job. >

Okay, let's say kids really are trying to identify as "non-human animals," so what? Kids are fucking weird, let them be weird, what is the actual risk here? >

"Do you identify as human? No, I am a meat popsicle." >

"They're made out of meat."
"Meat?"
"Meat. They're made out of meat."
"Meat?"
"There's no doubt about it. We picked several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." >

"Maybe they just go through a meat phase?"
(paraphrasing, as it was sooooo long ago) >

Ah, Republicans solving made up problems. >

This one ranks up there with "we're forcing companies to label food products that contain aborted fetus tissue." No food products contain that, but by claiming that they're stopping the non-existent practice, they toss some (aborted fetus free) red meat to their base.
It's the thing Republicans are best at. Pretending that there's a problem where none exists, passing a law to ban it, and then proclaiming victory over the thing they made up. Next up: Teenagers with magical superpowers aren't allowed to play on the same teams as non-powered kids! >

People should ask them why they're going to change the laws to allow aborted human fetuses in food. After all, it isn't legal currently, so requiring labelling only makes sense if they're also changing the law to allow it. >

Gotta love it when Right wingers keep fighting ghosts and phantoms. >

And thus, the Great Furry War has begun. >

So this is anti furry/ fursona? >


Six Republican members of the North Dakota Legislature introduced a bill Wednesday that would send a clear message to nonhuman-identified students: You’re not wanted in the Roughrider State. 
The two-page bill, which is primarily a measure seeking to prohibit schools in the state from accommodating transgender youths, includes a subsection aimed at a different — and theoretical — category of students.

Two paragraphs in, the real point of the bill is brought up.
They wrapped it up in something silly to prevent it so that no one would look too deep. >

Finally, an opportunity for teachers to dunk on young edgelords who claim they identify as attack helicopters. >

They would never get that it isn't real, and they would NEVER shut up about it. >

Uh, negative, I am a meat popsicle. >

The republikkkans and their dumbass narratives. >

Oh no- that ruins my dreams of going to school… in North Dakota… where they are known for… uhh… (per their own tourism site) production of spring wheat, durum wheat, dry edible peas, dry edible beans, honey, flaxseed and canola. >

Is that a thing? >

Dogs can shoot people now but they can’t go to college?? >

Well what in the 00101001000111010101 is this bullshit?!?! >

Someone was REALLY pissed about furries. >

Wow.   For the first, and probably only time in my life, I want to go to North Dakota.   There must be a ton of non human, humans living up there to cause this legislation.  I wonder if I could meet a fish person?   Or maybe a platypus person?   Or are platypus people only indigenous to Australia?   Wait would a platypus person in North Dakota be an immigrant??  That's a whole different can of worms.........oh worm people too!!   Wait they're from Philadelphia.  Never mind. >


worm people too!! Wait they're from Philadelphia. Never mind.

Thank you >

No problem >

I think it’s fantastic that, as a country, we are finally facing the big problems that past generations were unable to address. At this rate we’ll be living in a utopia in no time. >

What is a human? I'm sure we won't be able to answer this question. I'm not qualified to answer this question, I'm not a biologist. /s  
Edit: I just wanted to make sure it's clear that it's sarcastic. >

Doesn't matter because North Dakota doesn't exist anyway. It was invented by the New World Order as cover for the Reptilians' main Earth Enclave.
Think about it: Have you ever met someone from North Dakota??? >

Now we'll never get the airbud goes to school movie. >

Like all Red states ND would prefer that there were no public schools at all. >

I don’t want you, either. >

I do wonder if ND is one of those states that takes more in federal funding than it provides. It certainly will go that way if they push decent people out through their hateful rhetoric. >

Imagine being so regressive in your politics that you have to make up provisions for a bill over  a literal nonissue. >

Are they doing this because of that stupid Facebook post about litter boxes? You'd have to be a complete and utter moron to believe --

Six Republican members

Ah, I see now. The bill was drafted by complete and utter morons. >

What? >

I'll give you the rundown on this insanity.
The GOP, in an effort to literally dehumanize trans kids, has created a bullshit talking point about some made up kid identifying as a cat to use a litter box as a bathroom.
They always claim it's real and happening, just that they can never provide proof because, and I stress here, it doesn't exist.
But they keep up the story, ironically much like a child who tells everyone that he really does have a girlfriend, just not at this school, she's at the school in the next town over.
The really sad part is that there actually was a real proposal for litter boxes in classrooms, the school in question suggested using litter boxes as an emergency bathrooms in case there was a school shooting. 
The GOP didn't like that part of the narrative. >

Thank you for the reply. I cannot say more than I am stunned at the depth of depravity that exists in the world. I am saddened beyond belief. >

Isn’t not going to and going to school in North Dakota basically the same thing? >

A solution to a completely made up problem. >

The truth is though every child in the US is entitled to a free and appropriate public education. That is a right not a privilege and no state can choose to take that away. As stupid and silly as this nonsense is the underlying message is that the state could somehow pick and choose what children can attend public school and that is not something the state is allowed to do nor should they be imho. >

Appropriate being the key wording. And if they're not human, they're not children. So the laws don't adult to them. Strictly speaking legally. In not agreeing or disagreeing. Purely looking at this objectively. 
They can deny those who don't identify as human because if they aren't human they aren't afforded the same rights and protections. They can't discriminate over gender. >

If a child tells you they're from Mars that doesn't mean they lose their constitutional rights. >

Obviously they never would but doesn't that point to the absurdity of the level of self identification we've reached? >

I think it is more the absurdity of worrying about self-identification of things that have never been a problem irl >

"Negative, I am a meat popsicle."
-Banned student >

So, I personally identify as an alien.... North Dakota is saying I'm not real!? Wtf.... >

No 😂 they're saying that you can't get an education there. Would you bring your dog or cat to the school in your neighborhood and expect that they enroll it?? If you identify as an animal, you want to be treated like one. >

Except for the fact that literally nobody "identifies as an animal". >


Except for the fact that literally nobody "identifies as an animal".

Everybody identifies as an amimal..

Truly, having to use preferred pronouns is the worst thing ever. Torture, really /s
Dear God, do these people not have actual problems? >

This is anecdotal but I know a person who identifies as an egg. You would say they run down the non binary side because their thought process is at the start of conception. But then they flip it and say it’s poly and it’s how they are feeling that day. Now it’s been a few years since I’ve talked to this person. But that’s about as confusing as it gets. Again an outlier and anecdotal. But still an interesting scenario. >

But is it really that harmful just to, well, let them be an egg? >

It literally doesn’t bother me 1 bit. Egg is a pretty crazy egg. But egg being offended that everyone doesn’t know egg is an egg is pretty perplexing. I only know egg because it’s my friends wife’s egg. Just typing this sentence out not being able to use pronouns is pretty wild. >

Well a North Dakota education won’t get you far so it doesn’t matter much >

I think you mean a US education won't get you far. >

Legislation takes time and money. Ask your leaders why they're legislating against the smallest, least powerful groups in the country instead of working on solutions for your state. 
Every hour the spend on this is an hour they don't spend trying to solve the problems facing your state and it's citizens. This is a distraction at the expense of the marginalized and the mentally ill. >

"How many of you people feel like human beings tonight?" Then he said, "How many of you feel like animals?" And everyone cheered after the animals part.
