ezs note:  There's no doubt about it - it's hard.  But the more people who agree with the transgender girl who refuses to go along with this farce, the better.  Imagine somebody threw a party - but nobody came.

ezs note:  Mississippians - Tell the state Capitol that your foot is coming down.  You really need to tell both the state Senator and the state Representative they need to act... unless they want to be the former state Senator or Rep. (uh... then do something about it)

Mississippi - Mississippi lawmakers propose ‘license to harass’ for transphobic teachers

Zack Ford
ThinkProgress


ezs note:  If you haven't heard of this yet, HB1176 is an absolutely repulsive bill that allows 'teachers' to harass transgender students with impunity.  If you live in Mississippi, please tell your legislators to vote 'no' on this bill.  If you live outside Mississippi, please tell your legislators that if this bill passes, Mississippi will no longer be on your state's dime.  I have already contacted State Rep. Jillian Gilchrest. (D-CT)
