Guess what? Kids exploring gender identities is not some scary dangerous thing, and if you have the right bond with your kids, they will tell you. These “outing” prohibitions are there to protect the kids from parents who have created such an environment at home that the kids don’t feel safe telling them.
Children aren’t some objects that parents own and control.
I never insinuated ownership. That's a jump you made. Kids hold things back for more reasons than the parents. There are plenty of people that do things their parents don't know about for whatever reasons they justify.
That's no reason to force teachers to share everything they know with parents, especially since this is specifically targeted at kids who explore their gender identity, rather than something harmful that might actually justify alerting parents.
You came in here initially defending a legal mandate that targets vulnerable children, and now you're defending yourself as if your original point was that parents should be more involved in their children's lives.
Nobody disagrees with you on the latter, only the original argument you are now trying to deflect from.
@BreakDecks @GladiusB
Everybody needs to drink fresh water every day and mind their own business, and stay in their own lane, including the kids.
Absolutely deranged take in response to this conversation. If anyone needs to mind their own business it's the transphobic ghouls trying to force teachers to out queer kids to their parents.
And maybe you. Absolutely zero self awareness to butt into a conversation to tell everyone else to mind their business, and add nothing else to the conversation but your own nose.
