"A senator in Texas has filed legislation that would force public school employees to expose the sexuality and gender identity of LGBT students to their parents.
State Senator Konni Burton's Bill 242 would see teachers and other school employees disciplined if they withheld information regarding a student's sexual orientation or gender expression, reports The New Civil Rights Movement. "

Thus endangering the lives of those students if the parents decide to kick them out, or become violent toward them.

With the Trump election it seems like dangerous fascist types are being emboldened.

Perhaps. It seems to me that I've been reading about legislation like this being proposed for years. Now, if these kinds of laws get passed then that would be a sign.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!
