Stahl and others pointed out that requiring a transgender student who wants to use a chosen name at school to tell their parents about their gender identity before they’re ready could put them at risk of verbal or physical abuse at home, mental health challenges and even suicide.

Garfield Re-2 School District is considering requiring its staff to notify parents if a student requests to use a chosen name at school that differs from their legal name and reflects their gender identity — a move that some community members support, while others worry it could further isolate transgender kids, and even put them at risk.
