A California mom is outraged after her daughter's school district upheld a "parental secrecy policy" allowing school officials to offer gender counseling without informing parents.
Aurora Regino said her 11-year-old daughter's elementary school in the Chico Unified School District helped her transition from female to male during the last school year, but a guidance counselor kept her in the dark during the entire process.
"During one of the meetings, my daughter told the counselor she wanted to tell me about her new identity. They ignored her request and did nothing to support her in letting me know what was going on at school," she told board members at a meeting last Wednesday.
The board weighed a measure that would allow for "more parental inclusion" but ultimately voted to keep the existing so-called "parental secrecy policy" in place with a 3-2 vote.
"It was a really sad decision that they made, but unfortunately I wasn't extremely surprised," Regino told "Fox & Friends First" host Todd Piro on Tuesday.
"This policy that they have in place, to keep these situations a secret from the family, is incredibly damaging. It was extremely damaging in my case with my daughter. She was bullied and she didn't have the support that she needed from her family and, also, she was outed within the school with other people within the office knowing her new gender and pronouns that she didn't even tell them, and she had to go through those feelings of wondering how they even knew all on her own."

I hope she sues the living sh1t out of them, wins, shuts them down, and laughs all the way to the bank.
I'm all for that, as long as the school officials/teachers etc are made to pay the payout, not the innocent taxpayer.

If this continues I forsee a significant raise in school shootings... And then when all hell breaks loos, we put the lid on and listen to the firecrackers...
Does she have a penis now? I can't imagine how that procedure which isn't the simplest could be held secret from a functioning family...
Or is it another rebellious teen that says eff my dramatic mom with her gender roles and her holier-than-thou skirt, it just took her a year to pull on some manly jeans?

When you are old and can already see that these kids in a few years will regret their follies and the whole trans fad will end.
It's in, it's cool, boring kids can become interesting. But nobody can change Nature.
Nature will bring all of this back to boys and girls and some outliers for medical reasons.
What's most concerning is the adults who play along for either political or sexually deviant reasons.
Many are already suffering and regretting and are now disabled for life.
The advocates about this just ignore them though.
Lalala, can't hear you when you are cancelled. Is their motto.
The backlash will be humongous.

5th Grade.
Wonder if she is autistic? They seem to target the autistic ones.

here's a spicy take for you all;
how shockingly bad a parent must you be not to notice your own child changing gender? Or for your child to feel alienated enough from you to feel compelled to hide it?

10 Things to Know About the Psychology of Cults
www.onlinepsychologydegree.info...
New recruits are “love bombed.”
Once people have been recruited by a cult, they are often “love bombed.” This odd phrase is commonly used to describe the ways in which someone with low self-esteem is consistently flattered, complimented, and seduced in order to train their brain to associate the cult with love and acceptance. When someone feels unworthy of love, they are the first to fall for the false affirmations associated with love bombing. Unfortunately, cults often reach intense, unhealthy, and inappropriate levels of closeness and “love” when they are preying on the weak.
Brainwashing::
Cult leaders are known to repeat various lies and distortions until members find it difficult to distinguish between reality and cult life.
Paranoia:
To maintain a false sense of comfort, cults often rely on paranoia tactics. Cult leaders convince their victims that a group, their families, and/or the government is out to get them, but that the cult can provide safety.
Cult members often have no idea they’re in a cult
Cults maintain their power by promoting an “us vs. them” mentality.
Cults prove powerful because they are able to successfully isolate members from their former, non-cult lives. One of the ways cult leaders achieve this is to convince their followers that they are superior to those not in the cult. This “us vs. them” mentality ultimately leads to cult members isolating themselves socially from friends and family. They replace those relationships with new ones inside the cult.
Cult members often have no idea they’re in a cult
Although it can be obvious to those around them, people in cults often don’t realize what they have become a part of. Psychologist Dr. Margaret Thaler Singer spent most of her career studying the psychology of cults and brainwashing.
