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?
A new campaign has sprung up on social media with the hashtag #AutisticTransPride. A movement telling young people on the spectrum that the identity issues they will struggle with as they grow-up can be solved through sex change or “gender questioning” is cruel. Surface changes in clothes and pronouns will solve nothing and only exacerbate their suffering. What they need is not biological alteration, but greater acceptance and understanding of their neurobiological differences.
For a pseudo-religious movement to target this vulnerable population of youths for their own ideological ends is nothing less than child abuse. The latest Atlantic piece is just another shot across the bow. If we do not remain vigilant in speaking the truth, young people with special needs will just be the latest victims in the left-wing cultural assault against human biology.

So, I'm a bit confused.
The story doesn't seem to give the following information.
How long was this "transition" going on?
Was the daughter only acting/dressing like a boy at school?
How far did this transition go?
I'm wondering, because how did this mom find out about this? Did the little girl act and dress like a boy (which really, she could have just been a tomboy) at home as well?
And it seems like the school would have really had to be pushing this child for secrecy.
Most children that age and younger would say something about what is going on, even as a slip.
I hope she wins, and all the parents take their children out of that school. Sue the teachers individually as well that were involved.

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.
That child is property of the state, legally - that part is complicated so we'll leave that aside.

That sounds like your fantasies taking you for a ride, the issue is never as simple as we're able to fathom with our simple minds.
I bet the heretics of their time felt similarly bad about religion being encouraged at schools, but change is inevitable.
gender roles are not the same as your body. one is psychology, the other is biology.
The simpleminded will never understand the difference, as they only managed to fathom biology. Psychology would bring them in unpleasant self reflective territory, so the issue is argued from an incomplete understanding.
the whole industry around it, is indeed troubling, but then again money has to be made where money can be made, such is the beauty of our current economic system... we won't start to complain about it now do we?
Maybe get some stocks of a transgender Clinique or something like that, and you can be happy about the greatest economic system in the bestest country ever...
because if there is money to be made you won't stop it, you can sue the living crap out of it, no worries that too will create profit for someone somewhere, just don't expect it to be you...

We are not interested in psychology, feelings, or sociology in this case.
Are you trying to equate religion somehow with gender ideology?
It's nothing more than an absurd ideology that has no basis in anything other than some deluded adults.

Which makes the kids walk away from your retarded approach to a very complex psychological issue, which very well could have been the underlying problems the kid was dealing with...
But hey if you're still having personal issues that can't let you adress the real topics, stick with biology...
It will be easier... Just don't get all emotional about it...

Very prudent to post this here among all the religious cooks, but I don't see self-reflection among cults so my hopes are low for them to see the parallels...
for the effort

Im starting to suspect your having trouble understanding the diffeence between gender roles and biological gender.
Maybe you stick to biology and let the adults deal with psychology.
which says biological sex does not dictate the gender role, but society does trough peer pressure.
which is ever changing...
You want to stop the only constant in the universe according to Einstein?
Good luck.
