Despite public outcry, the Florida High School Athletics Association is standing by its decision that girls submit menstruation info to schools: including age of their first period, how many days are typically in between their periods, and the date of their most recent period.

DeSantis believes the government should do nothing to fight a virus that has killed a population larger than the biggest city in Florida. But 4 trans kids wanting to play field hockey means the state must track your child’s every ovulation.

@lolgop

Why are people in Florida supporting this guy? Why?

@unabogie @lolgop Mostly because of Republican propaganda. Also because of a lack of empathy for others and an inability to put themselves in anyone’s shoes but their own.
@lolgop i am hopeful he will just go away… please just go away.
@lolgop Time for someone to create a plausible false menstruation cycle for all to use to report!
@lolgop Well, that and also the chance they might "unlawfully" end a pregnancy.
@lolgop "Right to life" == "Right to leave Florida" 🤷‍♂️
@lolgop This is so freaking creepy.
@lolgop
Anything to avoid admitting there is a national health crisis and also admitting the need for universal healthcare. The oligarchs believe their interests are best served in a third world shithole.
@lolgop what mom would ever give permission to do that?

@lolgop

Reminder: DeSantis didn't go full MAGA on COVID until the start of vaccine era, banning local precautions in May 2021, and increasingly pandering to anti-vaxxers during Delta and Omicron.

Before then, Florida and California *both* had COVID death rates below the national average (FL was at #28 among all states, while CA was #30).

But in the vaccine era, Florida has suffered the nation's 4th highest COVID death rate, while California has had nation's 5th lowest rate.

@DemDifference @lolgop check Florida's rate of 'pneumonia' deaths throughout the last 10 years. You will see a strange spike in those coinciding with the pandemic years.
@lolgop trans is their excuse, CONTROL of women's fertility is the actual goal.
@lolgop this is fucking surreal.
@lolgop a disgusting invasion of privacy
@lolgop Florida, Idaho, and the other dumb states in 10 years: Why is everyone in our state over 80? Why don’t the young people want to live here anymore? Why can’t we make life miserable for their young families and just have them take it? It’s not fair.
@lolgop Don't worry, your kids won't learn about sexual topics from the library. We are going to make them them tell us about their own in excruciating detail.
@lolgop female athletes should quit in protest shrinking the number of female programs there by forcing Title 9 to impact male programs
@lolgop What manner of ___kery is this? Why do they need to know this? Have they gone insane?
@lolgop Is it run by a bunch of perverted child molesters? It’s not their business.
@lolgop try that on my kid and they are gonna get at least their feelings hurt
@lolgop this is beyond f***ing gross 🤬🤬🤬
@lolgop This makes sense, because under Florida law girls don't have to wear their face veils until their first menstruation.

@lolgop

lol No. No, not on your life. And they thought people would fight to protect the 2nd Amendment

@lolgop
An illustration seemingly drawn from a 1950s era magazine, showing a pregnant woman and her husband with a doctor showing them both a pelvic X-ray. A text box reads, Dr. Christian Taliban explains to Mary which parts of her body are hers, and which parts belong to Republicans.
@lolgop Per a fact-checking source, providing that information is not mandatory. Of course, unless there is a valid medical reason, that info shouldn't even be asked. https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/education-verify/florida-female-athletes-asked-menstrual-cycle-questions-not-required-to-answer/536-21773e01-c451-4253-b56e-081de55ffd0e
@lolgop Must be some more of that "small government" I keep hearing about.
@cleopete @lolgop
Small enough to get into little girls pants, apparently
@lolgop are you fucking joking?

@lolgop

To hell with HIPAA and privacy laws?

#)WTF is WRONG with Florida?

MOVE!!! FLEE!!!

@lolgop The Florida high School athletics association are child sex abusers. Menstruation is part of a child's sex organs, this is sexual abuse.
@lolgop deSantis and Florida have made so many outlandish decisions that you don't even know which one to fight first. #rightwinglunacy
@lolgop What should happen next? Is there a lawsuit? Should the girl students boycott playing sports in high schools? Should boy students boycott playing sports to be allies to the girls? I'm sorry but my child would not participate in sports under a police state.
@lolgop Gaetz needs to know when they're fertile...
@lolgop Welcome to #Gilead ladies. You’re about to be farm animals for the #GOP

@lolgop
So Florida wants to protect innocent cis girls from trans girls but also wants to traumatize cis girls with intimate questions that will probably give them anxiety pukes? Makes no sense.

1990s US libertarians convinced Russia to privatize infrastructure, resulting in a class of oligarchs in bed with the Koch network. These privatizers are now ramping up with attacks on schools, Medicare, Social Security, public health. They hate our government cuz they wanna rule like kings.

@lolgop Surveillance unculture under DeSantis.

Are they going to interview girls next, if they ever had sex with "woke" people or if they would ever marry "woke" people?

^^^ Substantially true -- but not yet implemented. Make your opinion known now before the decision panel meets.
"A panel of the FHSAA has submitted this recommendation to the FHSAA Board of Directors, which will meet on Feb 26-27, 2023, in Gainesville, Florida, to render a decision. Until then, submitting menstrual information is not yet a state requirement."
Did Florida HS Athletics Association Recommend Requiring Student Athletes To Submit Menstrual Info?

Abortion rights advocates worry that students' reproductive privacy is at risk.

@lolgop
Any parent of girls not fleeing FL before they close the border should be considered a bad parent.
If you think this is extremist, alarmist thinking, who would have believed that tracking a child's menstrual cycle would be a thing in the 21st century.
The Republican party is America's Taliban.
Run NOW! don't walk, out of FL!
