If passed, the bill would let parents sue anyone supporting a minor's social gender transition, from hairdressers to teachers and nonprofits.

      While visiting relatives in 1972 or so, I got beaten up in Little Rock by two brawny boys my age because my hair hung down to my lower back.

      “Hey, did your mama want a girl?”

      “Your mother sure wanted this boy.”

      That got them both off their porch and got me a nasty beating.

        They got the physical victory, but you got the emotional victory, and anyone who gets violent over a ‘Your Mom’ joke like that will NEVER live it down. They probably still think about you sometimes.

    Republican lawmakers in Arkansas have introduced a bill that would allow lawsuits against anyone who […] use a student’s chosen name that is different from their birth name

    Did you just call him Bob? Robert, call the name police! Now!!

        It’s a super religious state, something like 80% Christian, and a lot of those are the actual church going kind. It’s the home of the Duggars (18 kids and counting) crazy baptist type sect of ultra conservative loons
