Holy Fuck...
I have tried to remain calm and not freak out over the little stuff, but what is our country doing?
Let me yell this. YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY CHILDREN FROM PARENTS BECAUSE THE PARENTS SUPPORT THEIR TRANS KIDS!
People made fun Dwyane Wade (basketball star) and his wife Gabrielle Union (actress) when they left Florida because they worried for their trans daughter. But, low and behold, not 3 weeks later, Florida passed a law that would let the state take their daughter.
Unfortunately not everyone has NBA Champion as a father and a famous actress (and UCLA alumni) as a mother. Not everyone has the money and job so they can get the fuck out of Dodge. And, if you can't leave the state, the state can disappear your child. This is some fucked up Soviet Union / Fascist Italy, Peronist Argentina shit.
Where is this country going?
Article from The New Republic... Read it and weep.
-----------------UPDATED ----------------------
OH MY, I missed something in the law. It does not only relate to Florida residents. So, let's say a family has a 17 year old trans child and they go to DisneyWorld. The family gets on "It's a Small World", only to find armed sheriffs at the end of the ride and take the 17 year old away from their parents. Totally legal.
