I can see how people raised in stable loving families think 'why shouldnt the parents know?' But I was raised by a raging narcissist, if dad slept bad a head-punch during breakfast was not uncommon. First memory I have is being hurt by my dad...
If I were trans this would have sealed my fate; killed via 'exorcism'
If the kid doesnt want their parents to know about their gender identity well that isnt a bad kid, those are bad parents. Yes really.
Believe you me, the good parents dont need the school to tell them, they already know because a child that feels safe will just tell you. If you really love them you will already know anyways just from paying attention to them.
I know people with mental diagnosis who support this shit. Try explaining to them that they are one the list of undesirables too, or dont if you value your time and sanity.
It's a pro child abuse tactic by right wing child abuse fans.
LoL, the left is always projecting their crimes onto others.
BTW, the government doesn't co-parent our children.
Child protective services exist, how is that not the government stepping up as a co-parent?
The only way I can parent my child free from government interference is using government surveillance. Government employees need to be mandatory reporters if my child isn't acting in the manner I requested, anything else is tyranny.
Wait, you posted this in disapproval of this policy? Bonkers, dude.
What does 'in loco parentis' mean?
Can you show me any examples of children being pressured to chop off their genitals?
Feel free to provide a single example of this happening.
So you have a Christian faith website, the Daily Mail (for the aforementioned quotes), Open The Word.org (?), and it's links to parents disagreeing with doctors.
The only one with any teeth is the Feminist Current, which links to the BBC, and has legitimate concerns.
No-one had irreversible surgery, they had puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy, both of which are quickly reversible.
???
Feel free to show some proof that 'not letting parents know their kids want to transition' is A) a crime, and B) a negative thing.
EDIT: Man, look at all this proof.
