Gender dysmorphia; require school personnel to notify parents of students who request to be referred to as different gender.

Summary

The bill would obligate school administrators, teachers, counselors and other staff to send written notice to a student’s parent or legal guardian within seven days of learning that the student is publicly using a gender or pronoun that does not match the sex listed on their birth certificate. It also shields school personnel from discipline if they refuse to use a student’s preferred gender or pronoun, and it excludes confidential counseling discussions from the notification requirement. The measure was introduced in the Mississippi House but died in committee.
