I someone suspect Tennessee is done with transgenders.

"...So, I was walking down from the cafeteria and I saw the posters and I got super excited so I stopped like with my partner looking for our names and everything and then I see it and it’s my dead name..."

You have bigger problems, bucko, than a 'dead name'.

[rlmorel]

"...Max’s mother said she is working to get her son’s name changed legally but fears it will not be done by graduation..."

Evil. This is his mother.

[glennaro]

Max has a 4.52 GPA and scored a 33 on the ACT

Not too long ago these numbers indicated a high level of intellect. Today, they've lost their implied meaning.

We are raising a generation of pussies and we allowed it to happen. They’ll never hold onto the Republic.

“Kid, you don’t have a dead name, you have a dead brain. Get some help”.

[eeriegeno]

It’s Tennessee law lady!!!! Nobody is above the law! Merrick said that!

[FlingWingFlyer]

The “mutha” needs a kick in the ass for giving him his “dead name” in the first place. It is her friggin’ fault junior is screwed up in the head.

It is always the men, dressed as women. Always with the children in the schools and libraries. It is always the transgendered with moms filing a lawsuit. Never dad filing a lawsuit. I am diagnosing Munchausen Syndrome, in the library with a scalpel.

[Gaffer]

Yes, in effect that’s what her acceptance and endorsement of his chosen identity is. However, I suspect that she, like many other parents, just want some damned peace in the family and have given up their morals to try and placate their way out of the normal angsts and pains in dealing with teenagers full of hormones, wrong headed peer pressure and the government going full-tilt to help them control their parents.

[struggle]

She looks like a girl. Sorry.

[Morgana]

“It is always the men, dressed as women. Always with the children in the schools and libraries. It is always the transgendered with moms filing a lawsuit. Never dad filing a lawsuit. I am diagnosing Munchausen Syndrome, in the library with a scalpel.”

This time it’s a girl wanting to be a boy. There has been a rise in that past few years. Mostly girls who can’t handle puberty.

The rest? Yes I agree Munchausen Mommies.

[AppyPappy]

How awful. Someone put his real name on a poster

[FamiliarFace]

This is a transgender boy, so “Max” is really a girl pretending to be a boy. Much like the Nashville Covenant school shooter.

[who knows what evil?]

'So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.'

Period. End of story.

[bert]

Max........ please show us your penis

If you bleed, you are not a boy

[hellinahandcart]

That’s because she IS a girl.

A girl who’s not making much of an effort to appear male, if you ask me. I wonder what her game is.

[Verginius Rufus]

When her little girl was born, her mother could not have known that her baby would someday want to pretend to be a boy, so naturally she gave her a girl's name. The "dead name" is the name given at birth.

Of course there are other reasons why a grown person might not like the name he or she was given at birth. If there was only a way for the parents to determine if the baby would later be happy with the name.

[FlingWingFlyer]

My kids and grandkids were all quite happy with their names. It never dawned on them to want a different name. Well, there was my middle boy who kept asking us why we didn’t name him Brian. He got over though as he got older. Brian?

“You have bigger problems, bucko, than a ‘dead name’.”

There in lies the problem. Life is so easy this person has to invent trauma.
