Lol kids should give each other nicknames that are classroom objects and terms from the text. Or names of historical figures. "oh, now we can't say Abraham Lincoln because it's a nickname"

Wait, so does that mean if somebody is named Dick, I can’t call them Richard?
The fact that they say "nickname" is insulting. As kids that are trans discover and explore their identity they change their name to match where they're at in their journey. It's not a nickname, it's just simply their name.
We know that, and at some level the enforcers know that, but this is about cutting off all possible loopholes.
The cruelty is the point. This law has no reason to exist other than to directly harm the mental health of trans children.
So, when will the U.S. be sending their National Guard to Florida like they did during the integration of their southern schools?
