in reply to Laffy • • •It's unfortunate that presently, the enjoinder only applies to one teacher -- and good for her, at least! -- but this is, at least, a crack in the proverbial wall.
I don't expect it to be, but it would be hilarious if the fallout from Florida's draconian, fascistic limitations result in modes of gender expression being generally recognized as a form of 1A-protected speech.
