    I’m confused. What would someone at school be able to verify that a parent couldn’t? Are they checking genitalia or something. The rights obsession with people’s private parts is getting real weird.

      Yeah this is definitely a weird area. I can only assume this is in a situation where the kid has confided in a counselor that they are trans.

    This country just continues to use children like objects. They have no rights or human dignity or anything. Politicians think children should be playthings for their parents to use at will. To abuse. To cheat. To scar. To brutalize.

    I don’t understand this at all. Maybe I’m out of touch but…how wouldn’t a parent know their kid is trans?

    How would a school ever be in a position to “out” a child in that sense?

      Some parents are just bigots. Some are brainwashed by religion. Some are just afraid and/or angry about anything they don’t understand. If a kid isn’t telling their parents, there is probably a VERY good reason. Kids get beaten. Kids get kicked out of their homes. Kids get sent to conversion camps. Parents can be just as terrible as anyone else.

        I understand that but I guess I don’t understand being “trans” then. Is Susan going by “Steve” just at school? Are they changing clothes before first period and before they go home?

        Honestly at some point that probably should come up in a parent teacher conference or something, but it’s a dumb thing to legislate and require.

        This whole thing is performative and any legislature spending time on this vs actual meaningful work should be ashamed of themselves. I’m sure the people of Tennessee have bigger fish to fry than trying to force teachers to narc out kids.

        And shame on any parent who has such a toxic relationship with their kid that they want the government to require teachers of all people to tattle on their kids.

          It may be that the child is asking their friends to use a different name and pronouns at school

          And the reason it’s generally advised not to bring into a parent teacher conference is that some of these children are keeping it from their parents due to reasonable fear of abuse.

      Some children can’t or don’t trust their parents to tell them.

      You can be trans without transitioning. Got to start somewhere.

    The idea that a school would not share something this important with the child’s parents or would even be hostile to the idea is evidence that public institutions are anti-parent and anti-family.

      There are a lot of parents that are not supportive of their children. Especially if they fall on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. This puts kids at risk. This will harm children.

        Having the educational system larp as a concerned parent will harm children. Parents are ultimately responsible for the child not the school. Sorry.

          I get the feeling you haven’t interacted with any trans people. Or taken any time to listen to their stories. You should really broaden your understanding.
