In Indiana too. On top of that, parents are supposed to tell schools if their kid wants to go by a different name than their birth name. My daughter's trans friend's parents told the school his name. They don't care. They deadname him anyway.

I love living here so much.

I immediately thought of three most likely states, and Utah was tops on the list. (The other two were Mississippi and Florida.)

NC used to be more purple, but all the fuckstick rich republican retirees from FL are making it their permanent home and making it worse every year. when cooper's gone, we're just as fucked as all the other shithole R states

As awful as Kansas can be, at least we have a Democratic governor who protects us from most of the worst of this shit (though the legislature occasionally overrides her veto).

I'm really afraid of what happens when she gets term limited out. I really hope we don't end up with a Republican governor again, because Kansas Republicans are the worst of the worst of the worst. We gave the world Sam Brownback.
