>The House killed a similar bill last year after Republican Gov. Chris Sununu promised to veto it, but conservative lawmakers in both chambers are pushing new versions this session. Sununu hasn’t taken a position on the new bills.

Shocker. /s

If a child feels more comfortable sharing their gender or sexuality issues with a teacher than they do with a parent...forcing the teacher to out the kid isn't going to address the larger issue there.

Don't we already have a teaching shortage? Why don't we address that first before passing bills that will make more teachers quit.

How does that play out in real life?

Fine. And you just dropped in on the Internet for the first time today, I’m sure. I’ll take it point by point. Parents already have the right to know what is going on with their child, in that they’re the parent, they set the tone in nearly all aspects of their child’s upbringing. No teacher or administrator or other school personnel is allowed to keep any part of the educational process private or secret or under wraps or anything. What affects children can be anything and everything, in school, at home, in society, online, etc.

Teachers and administrators and school personnel are not turning kids trans, they’re not grooming them for some other reality. Many if not most trans people know from the earliest age (well before school, even) that they’re not comfortable with their gender. School isn’t making them trans, but educators are doing what they can (with the full transparency enumerated above) to support their students by not demonizing their choices, not adding to the discomfort, and making school safe for everyone.

The overwhelming majority of educators have been dealing with trans students being more visible and less shunned/shamed for only a few years. Teachers and school staff are staggeringly normal representations of whatever district they work in, and many find it awkward, difficult, a little clumsy to navigate how best to support trans kids in the school setting. The point is they’re trying, they’re listening, and they’re succeeding, despite the troglodytes who are too afraid to even ask the most basic questions, and too aggrieved to give the benefit of the doubt to anyone different.

TLDR: you don’t get it, because it’s not your setting. It’s mind numbingly average, and not a Big Scary SEXY Topic at school.

Parking minimums drastically drive up the cost of multi unit housing developments for what it’s worth.

Gotta love the barn too. You could frame that.

Most New Englanders have been fine with gay relationships for probably thirty or forty years. Hardly anybody (globally by massive margins, locally by who knows what margins) actually thinks “trans women are women” with no further caveats.

I wait until April when the outside temp is close to where I keep my heat in the winter. Then again I have the windows open to air out for the bulk of spring.

Thanks, it’s definitely an impressive one and still holding on tonight!

Tempting but high probability of me getting avalanched!

Thicc and beefy!

There’s been a couple “snowverhang” posts on this sub so I can’t take credit for the term. It definitely inspired me to post this though!

i dont support transgenderism

First they came 4 for the transgendered, and I did nothing.

I’ve seen a few of those around here but I think this one is the best. 👍🏻

It's a rural area, overall, with Lebanon, Hanover, Harford (aka White River Junction), and Norwich making up a connected patchwork of big towns/small "city".

Housing will be expensive and take more planning than you would think to lock a place down.

There are a bunch of restaurants to check out in a 5-30 minute radius of DHMC.

Lebanon, Hanover, and Hartford have small walkable areas that are nice.

You'll be in luck if you're an outdoorsy person; there's lots of skiing relatively close, tons of hiking trails, plenty of places to drop in your kayak/canoe, and a couple rail trail sections to ride your bike in to avoid cars.

It's a pretty area, but your challenges will be finding a place to live, and meeting folks outside of work.

Housing is in short supply. You don’t have to live right next to DH but I would find out your expected time to come in if your on call would be. Meaning if you’re expected to be there within 25 minutes then make sure you’re close enough. Also, with that do not just go by miles actually put it into a map app and get directions. A buddy of mine lives 9.5 miles away and it takes me a half hour to get to his house

Tell me you spend too much time online without… using this tired and lame phrase.

Affecting not effecting Parent with an apostrophe for "parents rights"

No one is trying to take away rights from parents but maybe other people are better at teaching your kid certain things.

Orchids of Asia, in Jupiter Florida may be to far to travel. YMMV

Edit: Also it was Patriots owner Bob Kraft

I'd be very tempted to poke at it with a shovel. Watch it all start falling.

Tell me you’ve never worked in a school without telling me you’ve never worked in a school.

I think they think they’ve never met anyone trans, but many have and don’t even know.

Fully support this, as parents have every right to know what is going on with their own child. No teacher, no school, no other segment should be denying parents their rights to know who is influencing their children or any other issue that is effecting their child. You cannot EVER take away a parents right to their children.
