A school district in Mississippi has implemented a dress code that discriminates against transgender students.

Last month, the Harrison County School Board adopted a dress code that requires students to wear clothes matching the gender assigned to them at birth, according to the Sun Herald.

There are multiple changes in the dress code in the 2023-24 student handbook, including three new items related to gender. It states that boys must wear shorts and girls must wear dresses, skirts, shorts, or pants. The third section says attire must follow a student’s birth certificate or permanent file.

The elementary student handbook also uses the same language.

1. Boys must wear shorts?

That sounds stupid to me.

And girls can also wear shorts or pants. So a girl who realizes she is a transgendered boy can still dress like a boy.

So this actually targets transgendered girls.

More fucked up logic from the haters.
