Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Just give politicians prison time for wasteful laws like this. It's objectively a waste of taxpayer's dollars used to fuel hate crimes. Fuck them, they should get 100x the risk and accountability then the poor paycheck to paycheck teachers they keep overly focusing on.
For anyone curious and who wants the sauce, here is the link to the actual proposed changes. It is pretty transparent and accessible.

Fuck Missouri Bill.
Fuck Missouri Republicans.
Fuck republicans.
Fuck
Bees.
study to be a teacher in Missouri
teach full time for $30,000/year or something
become a sex offender, obviously can't teach anymore
can't actually find a job at all
forced to live in a designated trailer park for pedophiles
become a lifelong welfare recipient
nice one, conservatives
Don't like your teacher? Just flip your pronouns real quick and get them on the sex offender list. Problem solved.
Fuck this bullshit
As a practical result this is more of an attack on education than an attack on LGBT, who would want to be a teacher under such tyrannical rules?
They're getting two birds with one stone.
Okay. Everyone is a they/them. No binary gender for anyone. Hedge your bets and play it right down the middle.
Problem solved
just stop using pronouns altogether easy fix
Romance movies from now on:
- "Love."
- "Love, too."
points at own pronouns Sorry, you're a sex offender now for accepting my pronouns :3
Also apparently you're now a teacher in Missouri. Given that place's apparent eagerness to dilute the term "sex offender" to nothing, I suppose you may find this part more upsetting.
I vote we make all politicians sex offenders to see how they like it.
Most of them already are... but I get your point.
This is how it starts, people.
Fascism?
Dumbass bills are introduced all the time. The news likes to bring them up but never talks about most of them being shot down though.
Two years ago I would have said no worries, there's no way a bill like this can pass. Now? Let's just say I don't take anything for granted.
