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. >

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. >

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.

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. >

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.
