Indiana is among at least 10 states that have enacted laws prohibiting or restricting students from using pronouns or names that don’t match their sex assigned at birth, a restriction that opponents say further marginalizes transgender and nonbinary students. Most of the laws were enacted this year and are part of a historic wave of new restrictions on transgender youth approved by Republican states.

The measures are creating fear for transgender students and sowing confusion for teachers on how to comply but still offer a welcoming environment for everyone in their classes.

    Never forget when they said the quiet part out loud at CPAC: “transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.” He didn’t stutter. And later the bastard claimed he didn’t mean trans people because he used the “-ism.” Infuriating.
