H.B. 1387 would ban trans kids from playing sports on teams that align with their gender identity, and 
H.B. 2432 would require school staff to out trans kids to their parents even if it would endanger them. The latter also states that “in no event shall referring to and raising the child in a manner consistent with the child’s biological sex, including related mental health or medical decisions, be considered abuse or neglect.”

Another Westboro Baptist Church bill. They are going to keep trans kids from enjoying school, dreading coming to school, and afraid of going home. Republicans saw Matthew Shepard's death and thought they would like to see more deaths like it. This is so sick and wrong. Children have rights to not be subject to abuse, also! This is purely abusive what Virginia is suggesting. The Republican Party is the Westboro Baptist Church.
My apologies to Del. Roem. But they know exactly the harm they want to inflict. Any other harm that comes as a result is simply a bonus.
The cruelty is the point. >

They know. Harm is the point.
