It's bad folks. My friends who are teachers already have to walk an incredibly fine line to be supportive of their students and this is specifically designed to detonate any ability to do that. And far worse than that...
This doesn't even try to keep up the bullshit guise of being about parental consent. It's designed to force teachers to dead name students, to ban usage of preferred pronouns, and force weird gender clothing norms on kids (even aside from targeting children questioning their identity or sexuality, anyone demanding girls wear skirts in school should have their hard drives checked).
It's about being able to sack 'woke lefty' teachers at will and further destroy the state education. And worst of all of course, it's specifically designed to out potentially LGBTQ+ kids to abusive parents for punishment and 'correction'. And not just trans kids, but queer kids, kids curious about their sexuality, even kids who just don't buy into a misogynist view of gender norms. Our trans comrades are at the sharpest end of the spear, but they're coming for everybody.
And all of this at the same time the Prime Minister is caught mocking trans people, a supposedly protected class, behind closed doors.
We don't have much active transphobic brainworms where I live. Last year some freaks tried to whip up a panic about drag queen story time but people didn't care and the initiative ended up as a wet fart. I chalk it up to this being a cultural backwater that has not been reached by the newest trends, it'll come here as well in a few years.
In finland it's mostly centered around horrifically convervative christian communities (the kind that refuse to wear condoms because every child is a gift from god) and some standard transphobic brainworms recently revitalized as our trans-law was brought up to date.
any usually direct action that the fash do against us is centered around the pride parades with some disturbing and such. We did just get a more right-wing government in power who're going to do a full blown austerity (while giving tax breaks to the rich obviously) so I'm just waiting for them to drop trans-healthcare from the list of things the state will pay for
