1000 School Districts Hide Kids Trans Identities From Parents

a reply to: DBCowboy

Yeah, it's like people can't stop thinking about sex and sexual things. It's an obsession. School is for reading and math and history and science, yet those are all falling behind while the sex obsession grows.

From your source:

By all accounts, the “M” family — two parents, three kids — was a happy one until a few years ago. When their youngest daughter (“TM”) became depressed, they sought psychotherapy for her. Months later, the family was thrown into crisis when TM became suicidal and was admitted to the local hospital. There, she revealed her “gender” confusion and described deep emotional pain, particularly over her parents’ “disparaging and derogatory comments” about her desired “male” identity. (The court refused to disclose the actual comments.) The hospital’s “gender-affirming” social worker reported that TM did not “feel safe” at home because her parents did not accept her “identifying as male.”

So why did the parents have to deal with the child by being disparaging and saying derogatory comments?

The child became suicidal?

Why couldn't the parents seek specialized counselling to determine what is really going on?

Stupid parents taking it to extremes?

You're going to win the price for most sensitive parent, keep it up

From the OPs second link

Below is a list of school districts by state that have Transgender/Gender Nonconforming Policies that openly state that district personnel can or should keep a student’s transgender status hidden from parents.

So you go from this policy to this statement

have kids kidnapped and have life changing surgeries instead of letting the parent no what’s bestb

How does that policy imply what you claim?

If parents don't cater to childish whims of their children then they can be accused of abuse?

Yeah. If they don't accept the trans identity, which the vast majority OUTGROW if left alone (I presented the information), it's considered psychological abuse. You hear it on the TV news all the time. And the left wing pundits. That's why I say that study that was presented saying 70 something percent of trans kids suffer psychological abuse at home is suspect. We don't know what they consider 'abuse' to be.

So says the kid. If they disagree with TRANS ideology that's disparaging and derogatory? Psychologically abusive? Pffft.

Girl: I'm a boy.

Parents: You're a girl.

The Left: Abusers! Take the child away! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

As per the Social Worker where it is logical to assume they repeated the disparaging and derogatory comments in session so much so that the child became suicidal and was hospitalized. But yeah nothingburger here right FF?

So many stupid parents who just don't know how to handle this type of situation. They need to be educated. If we assume children of certain ages experiment and fantasize then just go with it and don't make a fuss...wait it out, considering most outgrow these phases.

What is so difficult to understand about that approach?

i'm trans myself and if I heard that my kid is portraying a different gender from their birth sex at school, I would be asking a lot of questions.

puberty and growing up sucks, and eventually these kids realize that they were more comfortable in their birth gender than trying to make an approximation of the opposite.

im sick of the dead son/daughter, happy daughter/son rhetoric, because even if transitioned, they commit die probably more that not.

I think your kid would feel free to open up to you.

Like I said — the history is there.

The history of kids who had no safe place.

Annee, my wife is a school teacher and we have decided that one of her students feels uncomfortable being an atheist. We are going to give this child as much support as possible to convert the child into becoming muslim, and there is nothing you or her parents can do about it. Ok?

Oh, look — going for extremism.

Guess what — there are Muslim LGBTQ+ kids too —
that need a safe place.

There is no such thing as a safe space . It was a word invented by a liberal socialist who couldn’t deal with life anymore . Who would control these safe spaces you want I wonder ? Maybe people interested in that like Jeffrey Epstein and prince Charles and Alan Dershowitz and you . Safe spaces sound more like indoctrination centers

BMC Medicine - ... reporting parental psychological abuse
Scroll down to the part about parents not accepting the trans identity.

From your link:

In conclusion, this study highlights the high prevalence of parental psychological abuse in transgender and gender queer youth. Network analysis presented distinctive subgroup characteristics with connections between psychological abuse and psychopathological symptoms. Parents of transgender and gender queer youth should support diverse gender expressions and support their child’s transitions from the birth-assigned sex to expressed gender.

All this petty bickering and attempted one-upmanship and not a single word from someone actually involved in this which really says a lot and demonstrates clearly that those bashing “trans ideologues” are equally if not more so also ideologically driven without even having any skin in the game.

It is pretty much a given that should one of you naysayers actually have to parent a severely gender dysphoric child, you'd most likely change your tune pretty quickly or risk losing your child.

Kids in the sixties: I'm gay

Conservative parents: no your not

Kid: yes I am

Parents if physically non violent: let's have an intervention, peer presure from family mostly work.

Yeah no, that's kind of so behind the curve in pedagogy it's like caveman funny...

This is a fad that started a couple years ago.

This is not an historic issue fought over generations.

This is indoctrination of children, and parents are upset.

You just made HUGE assumptions based on nothing. There was nothing in that story that says the parents drove the kid to be suicidal. And any social worker would be in on the 'if you don't accept the trans identity you are abusive'.

It's a parental lack of child development knowledge and being stubborn or biased or stupid or all three together. Just go with medical and psychological advice and the child will in all likelihood move through that phase or fantasy/imagination as they mature...remember it's nurture, nature and mature.

Disparaging and derogatory remarks to the child and who knows who else? A child can't handle that sort of verbal abuse from parents, they need nurturing and understanding for their well being.

That's what I'm saying if you think everyone is in on it you're out of touch with reality.

That's OK, parents were upset about gay rights too, just leave your kids out of it...

Right

So called disparaging remark - you were born female and you are still female .. or .. you were born male and you are still male. A kid who thinks he/she is trans would call that disparaging and derogatory. And what you call nurturing and understanding is code for enabling.

We don't know what the parents said to the child in the privacy of their own home. The result of the parents' inability to deal with the situation landed the child in the hospital.

If someone can't see the trans fad is steamrolling then they are out of touch with reality. The list of 1000 school districts shows the schools are in on it. The medical establishment and their trans identity affirming care are in on it. Just watching TV shows the media is in on it. It's a fad and it's everywhere. That's reality.
