stories like this give the lie to the idea that the right is interested in protecting these children. per their own narrative, this girl is a victim of “gender ideology” or whatever. but the reaction from the right is always hostility, ostracization and violence.

this situation is heart breaking, and of course it happens in Broward, one of the states bluest counties, where our school board has been under attack by Desantis and his cronies, using every excuse he can to replace elected school board members with chuds he’s appointed.
This was started (anonymously) by a DeSantis appointee on the board, but he was allowed to be anonymous by the superintendent unanimously selected by the board Dems; the discipline committee's recommendation was overruled in favor of her mother's termination by his Dem-supported successor; and
this Dem-majority board was set to fire her (in the middle of Pride) until the item was pulled at the last second. I may have missed something, but to my knowledge, no Dem board member has spoken up in public support of this girl or her family, or
called for an investigation in the SIU officers who were apparently grossly dehumanizing to them. Nor have I seen basically any local Dems push back on this farce: not the state rep Hunschofsky or senator Polsky for Monarch's district, or
Moskowitz as their congressman (though no surprise, as he's been quite happy to boost transphobes as he tries to position himself as "bipartisan"), even though he lives only a few miles from the school.
All of them are happy to put out Pride statements of generalized support all month, but when it comes to doing anything at all to stand up for someone specifically targeted by organized transphobia, it's basically been silence.

Oh by no means am I absolving the feckless dems that are still there, at this point the only thing they care about is falling in line to protect their job, and I was never expecting much to begin with.
Yeah. Sorry to rant in your mentions.
