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.

Furries are the ultimate dorks. I know I am very furry affiliated and most of my friends are furries… but this makes being a furry badass nyao.
Surgical means‽
Also why are they legislating about this. Texas schools have real problems like gun violence and illiteracy. Furries and animal role play are just things some people have always done that don’t really harm anyone and given how they persist across so many cultures and times could actually be considered a natural behavior of homo sapiens like parrots’ mimicry
So can’t dress as a Republican?
Other physiological features that have not historically been assigned to the human race through a means of natural biological development
Does that forbid earrings as well? They’re non-biological extensions/modifications of the human body.
Better yet. Simply wearing glasses?
technically all clothing is illegal now?
No because earrings are not physiological.
What world do these people live in? I just can’t imagine this is a issue and i imagine that passing a law like this will just lead to kids definitely shitting in litter boxes because breaking the law is fun, imagine the court case of a kid dressed like a cat and pissed in a box… straight to jail
Man they keep coming back to the litterbox thing, it really freaks them tf out. Even though its been debunked dozens of time, my conservative friends all swear they know a guy that knows a guy that swears he saw one for real!
Oh, the litter boxes are real…
It’s just that their purpose is to be used during a school shooting lockdown.
I would not be able to stop myself from laughing if i saw that happening for real but these people think of it as a threat to their existence, as a crime.
What a witless world we live in.
Sooooo much freeedommmm… By limiting self expression.
Republicans are fucking weirdos.
So a furry suit made from human hair is ok? Asking for a friend
Besides them being stupid as hell to conduct this ridiculous culture war, I take issue with another thing, the name:
Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education
It’s not unlawful until you forbid it. So the title makes no sense. You’re not forbidding the unlawful. You’re forbidding the previously lawful, making it unlawful.
Stupid assholes.
Plus the acronym rules are inconsistent. It should be FURRE or FURRORIE
Repugniklan Anger Withering our Rights
Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education
In Texas parties only lawful alignment is allowed. We don’t care if your Good or Evil, as long as your not chaotic or neutral.
Oh boy, the fascists have really done it now: they’re going after the beastpeople! Beware its poisonous spittle!
Kinda like this one I know the litter shit is bullshit. Though we all knew those annoying ass kids in school.
Yeah they were annoying. So were the pseudointillectual douchebags (I would know I was one). So were the jocks. So was basically everyone. Kids are annoying. Banning child behavior for being annoying is part of the creation of a less free society for no good reason.
Alternatively, why not just… let people be themselves and weird? Because they were annoying to you? So many people are annoying for one reason or another, do we need to discipline them for it? Moreover, should we? Or would that just be limiting our expression and enforcing uniformity?
Yeah some kids are annoying, but they’re young and learning how to behave in a society. They shouldn’t be handcuffed in school and sent to jail. Nor should other kids live in fear of having what they witnessed happen to them (although that’s probably the whole point of this).
These idiot boomers fell for the facebook propaganda.

My barking at people is protected under the first amendment.
Unfortunately students give up their first ammendment rights when they go to school.
That needs to be challenged in court. I get having rules in a school setting, but locking up misbehaving children is mental.
False Tinker v. Des Moines asserted that students at public schools can be forced to not be disruptive to learning, but retain their rights as held under the first amendment within those grounds.
In fact, if the Supreme Court practiced common law and based their decisions on anything other than bribes, pre existing beliefs, and whatever they pulled out of their ass I’d say that this law was blatantly unconstitutional and would get thrown out immediately
100%
I admit that I block the furry and all its sexual representation on fedi when I see it. It doesn’t turn me on that much and feels weird. But that’s the same feeling a woman or man would have towards a gay person of the same sex or similar of different gender. This is sexism at its core. WTF!
Not sexism, just bigotry. I’m not personally down with furries, as in its not my jam, but that doesn’t mean i have any right to stop them being who they are. You wanna dress up in a big fur suit, have at’er. It literally doesn’t affect me in anyway. I don’t like it, so I won’t participate in it, that’s all.
It doesn’t turn me on that much
That much?
It doesn’t turn me on that much
Just a lil’ bit furry, check.
I wonder how much of this is borne out of the hysteria over kids supposedly using litter boxes.
I had some gomer on the Denver Post forums that kept insisting it was not only a thing, but an epidemic. I kept asking him for the supposed evidence of this claim, all he could say was that he “talks to lots and lots of parents and teachers” and “the media won’t report on it”.
It’s trivial to verify. Slap 20 bucks on the table and say “20 bucks you can’t list a location with a litterbox for furries”
“talks to lots and lots of parents and teachers” and “the media won’t report on it”.
Ain’t gonna get you 20 bucks. Need a location. If you get a location, call 'em. They’ll confirm or deny. (They’re gonna deny)
