How many of you have seen the news about California new gender identity and expression law for students? So what have you seen?
If you read the news you would think that the end of the world is coming because California passed the law. Our “Fair and Balanced” news network wrote this about the law…
There have also been assertions that boys will use this law to sneak into the girl’s bathrooms or use it to get on girls’ sports teams. Which is totally ridiculous! What boy is going to dress up as a girl? And why would a boy want to play on a girl’s teams?

"This radical bill warps the gender expectations of children by forcing all California public schools to permit biological boys in girls restrooms, showers, clubs and on girls sports teams and biological girls in boys restrooms, showers, clubs and sports teams," Thomasson said. "This is insanity."
