The war against transgender children continues and the nation takes note. Also: Is it drawers-dropping time? UPDATE

The toll is mounting in the
Arkansas legislature’s war on transgender children, with perhaps the cruelest for sheer personal pettiness on the agenda in the House Education Committee this morning.
It is Rep. Mary Bentley’s HB 1749 to require public school employees to refer to children by the name and sex listed on their birth certificates. It is the intentional, demeaning ghosting of transgender children. (UPDATE: It was announced this morning that the bill would be amended and so would not be heard in committee today.)
