The Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education, or FURRIES, Act, filed by Austin-area Republican State Rep. Stan Gerdes, would “prohibit any non-human behavior by a student, including presenting himself or herself, on days other than exempt days, as anything other than a human being.”
The law would allow for exempt days, such as Halloween and other school dress-up days.
The law defines “non-human” behavior as “any type of behavior or accessory displayed by a student in a school district other than behaviors or accessories typically displayed by a member of the homo sapiens species,” with provided examples being:
Using a litter box for the passing of stool, urine or other human byproducts
A personal or outward display, except during a school play or by a school mascot, through surgical or superficial means of features that are non-human such as using tails, leashes, collars or other accessories designed for pets
Using fur, other than naturally occurring human hair or a wig made to look like human hair
Artificial, animal-like ears
Other physiological features that have not historically been assigned to the human race through a means of natural biological development
Students who bark, meow, hiss or make other animal noises that are not human speech
Licking oneself or others for the purpose of grooming or maintenance.
I always tell people, that they won’t stop at LGBTQ+ people, and will eventually go into persecuting other subcultures.
What is it with them and this absolute conviction that kids are pretending to be cats, it’s literally not happening and yet they’re upset about it.
If they are going to make things up and then be upset about those made up things can they not come up with something less weird than kids being cats? Why not be upset about all the Dark Lords in schools, or the uptake in alien abductions?
If you’re complaining about gay people, you’re not complaining about us denying you a living wage.
If you’re complaining about transgender people, you’re not complaining about us denying you medical care.
If you’re complaining about furries, you’re not complaining about us denying you education.
I guess we really want you to complain about those things.
Is the hacker known as 4Chan at it again?
It would be so funny if schools start “dressup weeks/months” with rotating theme in protest
Ironic really, given how right here the cuntservatives are just chasing their own tail.
Fascists are so stupid, they start to believe their own propaganda. Can’t even remember, or at least be bothered to remember, that they made this up to scare normies.
well also. once you drum up enough fear, you can act on that fear. when you act on that fear you can do something that masquerades as something else. they say this is about keeping furrie play out of school. but the powers they got themselves will go a long way to labeling any kind of “out of the ordinary” behavior autistic kids do as being furrie play. this is all going accrording to plan
The law defines “non-human” behavior “any type of behavior… [not typically] displayed by a member of the homo sapiens species,”
NATHON!! STOP ACTING LIKE A HOMO ERECTUS YOU NEANDERTHAL!
also im pretty sure “human” means ‘under the homo genus’ not ‘homo sapien’ but its not like it matters to them
Surely any behavior performed by a human is behavior that is performed by humans and therefore anything is authorized under this act. Lots of humans do dress up in cat ears, so dressing up in cat ears is human behavior.
The law defines “non-human” behavior “any type of behavior… [not typically] displayed by a member of the homo sapiens species,”
“My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Florida forever.”
These are the same people that defined us all as female afterall.
i cannot begin to describe how utterly fucking stupid this is.
I genuinely thought i died and went to hell when i first read this, this bill doesn’t even make any fucking sense. Child exhibiting “non human behaviors” could be considered “child abuse” according to this bill.
How the fuck do you even enforce this?
Overreaching Authoritarianism.
Standard Republican kit.
pretty much.
So we can report anyone wearing leather now?
Why on earth are they pursuing this. We all know this is not a real problem.
If it was a scare crow to attack trans rights, they have achieved that. They have pulverized trans rights in many places, especially bathroom access.
Who stands to gain from this? It is not a real problem!
The rage machine requires fuel.
This is at the very core of everything that is happening.
not all of it! some of it is just exploitation and pillaging.
I swear to fuck; nobody ever gives pillaging the credit it deserves.
Fascists are always trying to enforce their idiotic worldview as a display of power - it also has a bonus of distracting people from their disasterous economic policies.
the rage is the point. the feeling of a win is the point.
the cost to the tech industry is an acceptable cost; these people do not connect cause and effect.
They’re

‘non-human’
this could go much darker than anti-furry biotry, which already isn’t great, real fast. is your nose too big? in a non-human way? does a man have tits that are too large? in a non-human way?
Is your skin too dark to be considered human? Are you acting in a manner that the white elite deem
thuggishnon-human?Considering this is a Texas bill it’s not hard to see how it will be abused.
In these trying times republicans are banning ghosts and bigfoots, which are real and legitimate concerns and not fake anecdotes that have spiralled out of control in some kind right wing fetish news circles.
Rent free.
There’s about to be a fire sale on Mickey and Minnie Mouse headbands.
