Seems to me that since the court already ruled that teachers have free speech to use whatever pronouns they wish with students (and they can't be fired for it) that that ruling will cut both ways.

Mandating that kids go to the bathroom that doesn’t match their gender presentation will cause some awkward situations for sure, but ultimately it may just lead to kids treating the concept of gendered bathrooms as a joke.

> Further, the legal name and sex of a student can't be changed "even upon written instruction of a parent or eligible student" without an official legal document or court order.

Doesn’t this make sense though. If a name isn’t changed legally, then it can be challenging to try to figure out what name to use.

That being said, it seems like there should be an ability to use a nickname without any official docs. Does this mean I can’t put “Bill” in the yearbook if I’m born “William.” We also had a lot of kids go by their middle name so this law seems to preclude that.

People need to be willing to use heavy words like "persecution" to describe actions like this.
