there is literally no reason to oppose this.. unless you're a complete and absolute idiot. if you have more than 2 braincells you should have the sense to not oppose something that does nothing to affect you and does everything to aid someone else. there's people who need this. badly. CHILDREN who need this. the fact that some of the people here commenting can't get that through their heads astounds me. believe it or not bill, scott, and "american patriot"- this isn't about you. it's about people facing struggles that you don't understand and that they don't need to be facing in the first place. actually, it's about  students AKA people so young you probably don't even remember being thier age, pam. and if you do i'm willing to bet good money it's moderately positive memories and not gender and identity discrimination. these kids are put in positions you and i aren't. you simply don't know what it's like for them. who are you to decide what they do or don't need and/or deserve? who gave you those credentials?

and just so we're all clear: it's a scientific fact that gender is NOT a binary. the only people going against science here are the uneducated conservatives obsessed with the idea that there are exactly two sexes and exactly two genders. you're wrong and throwing hissy fits about students being treated properly despite being (what you have incorrectly decided is) "against science" is only showing your lack of knowledge on the subject and the fact that no one should take you seriously. either research these topics correctly and listen to scientists or don't give your unwanted, oppressive "opinions". human rights aren't opinions. and on that note: being against human rights isn't really a cute look.

if you're sincerely concerned about this getting passed- i suggest you do some serious self reflecting.
