I just watched fascism in action. Anticipatory compliance by Tumwater School Board. They voted against state and federal law to discriminate against trans students.
Fuck them. Fuck their mealy mouthed excuses.
I hope they enjoy their expensive fight in court to defend their bigotry.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.
This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on!
Huge win for trans people in MT!
