Um, I'm no expert, but I don't think they allow transgender surgery in schools. 🤷‍♂️

You don't have to have surgery to be trans

True, and I totally get that as well.

I'm sure you get my drastically oversimplified point though. School is supposed to be for learning reading, writing and arithmetic, and of course more advanced subjects later on.

I'm sure that no teacher worth their weight in salt is trying to convert anyone's gender identity.

Tell that to the Republican demagogues (but I repeat myself)

Even more Insidious than surgery.. ideas! But I have no ideas to combat all of their evidence, psychologists, and medical experts.. Damn, guess I better ban their ideas. All in a days work.
