Indiana is among at least 10 states that have enacted laws prohibiting or restricting students from using pronouns or names that don’t match their sex assigned at birth, a restriction that opponents say further marginalizes transgender and nonbinary students. Most of the laws were enacted this year and are part of a historic wave of new restrictions on transgender youth approved by Republican states.

The measures are creating fear for transgender students and sowing confusion for teachers on how to comply but still offer a welcoming environment for everyone in their classes.

    These laws help with teen suicide! I’m a Pro Life Republican so OBVIOUSLY I want MORE teens to kill them selves!

      These same people were more than happy to politicize teen suicide when trying to end mask mandates and COVID restrictions. Suddenly it’s not an important issue to them anymore.
