The teen, according to a federal lawsuit, said they âmight be non-binaryâ and wanted to change their name ahead of the upcoming school year to one that fit a gender different from the one they were assigned at birth. The mother, January Littlejohn, and her husband said âno,â but allowed the then-13-year-old to use a ânicknameâ at middle school while the parents continued to use the teenâs birth name at home. Littlejohn also emailed the teenâs math teacher to stress her opposition to the child changing their name.
But on that September day in 2020, after Littlejohn picked her teen up from school, she was struck by an offhand comment the 13-year-old made: The teen said âit was funnyâ when school staffers asked what gender restroom they preferred to use in response to their new name.
This conversation proved to be a tipping point for the Littlejohns, who sued Leon County Schools in 2021 claiming that school officials helped their child transition to a different gender without informing them. The lawsuit was filed by the Child & Parental Rights Campaign, a public interest law firm that was founded in 2019, in its words, âto respond to a radical new ideology overtaking families.â
POLITICO is using âthey/themâ pronouns to refer to the teen so as to not reveal identifying information about them. The teen could not be reached for comment.
The teen could not be reached for comment because they live in an abusive household and needs to be taken the fuck out of that home.
That poor kid
So, this is more general queerphobia/bigotry than transphobia, but oh man does it have that in spades as well. Finally someone made a more or less comprehensive write-up in English on the Hungarian government and LGBTQ rights.
Weâre holding parliamentary elections this Sunday (OrbĂĄn is most likely going to win again, damn it all to hell), along with a referendum about âprotecting our childrenâ from the LGBTQ agenda, including âpromoting homosexuality and gender change to kindergartenersâ. I hate these people so much.
Also, it strikes me that using terms like âgender nonconformingâ will sweep up all kinds of kids who are not trans or non-binary, too. Itâs literally going to have to be enforced by putting all girls in pink, frilly dresses and all boys mini-suits⌠Only boys play sports, girls sit around with dolls. Any kids who fall outside of that get thrown into some sort of re-education campâŚ
The fuck is wrong with these people?
pronatalist white supremacy. Itâs the conservative legal movementâs response to the declining U.S. birth rate through state-mandated enforcement of traditional gender roles, the âbreadwinnerâ lauded for his contributions to the economy and the âcaregiverâ devalued for hers in the home.
âBodily autonomy is a threat to it,â Branstetter said. Universal childcare and paid leave policies, in this context, are dangerous precisely because they encourage people to decide for themselves if, when, and how to have a family, rather than submit to a pronatalist binary.
De Pfeffel showing us exactly who he is yet again but if only it was just limited to him, itâs a rot through all parties.
Very brave! Especially in the current environment⌠I wish them all the best.
The various politicians rushing to support them who have been peddling transphobia can fuck right off, tho.
Before the announcement on Wednesday, UCI president David Lappartient told BBC Sport that the governing body âfully recogniseâ the rights of trans people to participate in sports.
A right so fully recognized they donât let trans women compete.
However, he said he was a âlittle bit worriedâ about how the inclusion of trans athletes could âaffect the fairness of competitionâ in womenâs cycling events.
He said the current rules to measure testosterone levels are âprobably not enoughâ and questioned if trans people may have an âadvantageâ as there may be a âmemory from your body from what you were beforeâ.
Nice job making random shit up. What was that about âfully recognizingâ trans peoples rights again?
35 years ago, I was an All-American swimmer with <8% body fat. I assure you, my body has no memory of that whatsoever. Methinks this dude is talking out of his ass, and making up some bullshit, sciency sounding justification for being an asshole. As Beau put it, âsubmitting to peer pressure from dead bigots.â
It sounds like his body is remembering his earlier traumatic brain injury.
It really reminds me of some of the stupid shit GOPers say when defending anti-abortion bills with no exemptions for rape and incest. The whole âwomen have a way to shut that downâ comment really comes to mind.
Yeah, I used to be a decent competetive swimmer, last time I gave it a go I thought I was going to die 
That is some homeopathic style BS though.
Spineless.
Nothing good will come of this.
Itâs damned witch hunt.
