    Under the guidance, published Monday (7 August), teachers at schools in Orange County must use pronouns and titles that correspond to their “biological sex” at birth, and parents must fill out a form to let teachers know of any deviation from their child’s legal name, even if this is a simple nickname.

    It means a student named Robert would need permission to go by Rob.

    The point of protesting, usually, is to inconvenience people who would not otherwise be inconvenienced by some sort of discrimination. But dang if Florida isn’t doing all the inconveniencing for us! Can’t wait for a pissed off mom who has to fill out a form for her child’s nickname they’ve used all throughout school.

      This is Europe of course, but I’m fairly confident that I might successfully challenge the schools right to know my childs sex.

      That’s none of their business.
