I don't like the idea of pubic schools, which are the government, having their fingers in children's' sexuality at all, or gender identity, any more than they should have opinions about religion. At the most, in human sexuality class (which usually already exists in schools for kids 12-13ish), there should be "some people don't end up with the usual male/female definitions, and that's fine. They're free to find their own way without any of us trying to hinder them. But here's the only way babies can be made, in case that becomes your thing."

I absolutely did not like what I heard about schools having the rights given them to transition a kid without parent's knowledge.

SO, whereas I think Governor DuMbfuck overstepped with the "don't even admit such things exist in school," I like even less the weaponized government overreach.

Disney's fight against Florida's oppression. You cannot teach anything related to sexual orientation or gender through HIGH SCHOOL. that's fucking absurd.
Like I said, Disney isn't fighting that fight. They were appeasing employees. As you said yourself, they don't care about you, just your money.

As for the new law passed around April 19th, 2023, which is important to point out because it's not the law that started this whole thing (so let's not move the goal posts), I completely disagree about sexual orientation.

The other part isn't gender, it's gender identity. Considering the number of detransitioners who are discovering that they weren't "trapped in the wrong body" just gay, the lack of long term studies, and how many other first world nations are also banning including children in this stuff, I'd say let's maybe hold off on pushing the concept on kids until we know what the hell we're talking about.

Car windshield repair causing a crisis in FL insurance markets.

This seems like a super easy fix. Insurance companies can simply add to their policy that they will only cover windshield repairs and replacements from dealers or whatever reputable shops they approve.

FL makes big changes to their alimony laws.

Feminists, famous for "not needing men", are BIG mad.

Feminist website grinds up the hype machine to claim this is violence against women.

They may have one solid point IF the "new relationship" piece plays out as they say (although still not actual "violence"), but as we've seen with claims about "Don't Say Gay", the "book bans", and FL's Covid response, what we hear from the left about a red state isn't always super accurate.

Not sure where else to put this...

TLDW: The new law requires elected officials to basically disclose their finances.

The best answer constituents should give them, "If you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear!"

Wonder how many will disappear "trying to escape"...

Moving to end all vaccine requirements for schools.

Do you want a return of various diseases, because this is how you do it.

Why is it always the extremes with the political assholes? You want to question RNA vaxes? Fine! It's unproven science and only the most devote cultists would argue that the COVID vax didn't demand more study. However, ALL the established vaxes are proven. What was the issue there? Are you doing this for Christian Science folks and/or anti-vaxers? Can we stop legislating for the few? I mean, there are nudists in the world. Will you soon stop requiring clothes to attend school?

“Who am I as a man standing here now to tell you what you should put in your body?” Ladapo said Wednesday.
You're supposed to be a medical expert who is telling people what to put in their body, not a complete fucking dipshit.
