The school is doing this because they're required by the state to. It isn't malicious compliance. They're literally required to report every single kid that wants to go by a nickname.

It's an enormous inconvenience for teachers, (who are already drowning in their workload) but the state doesn't care so long as it makes life harder for trans and nonbinary kids.

I'm guessing this is in Florida, but there might be one or two more states that are pulling this shit too.

Sounds like the kids should overwhelm the school with new nickname requests several times a day.

I read someone make this comment and thought they were being bigoted, like the attack helicopter thing. Shit now I understand. Break the system.

I think it was in Iowa actually.
