Some of y'all are getting really upset at the idea of Schools and Teachers not narking on kids who change their pronouns or identify as trans.
I think you're wrong to be upset.
I think at this time it's for a child's safety that their choice of pronouns or expressed gender identity not be relayed to the parents. Why? Because if the child wanted their parents to know then they would tell them. The child might not feel comfortable telling their parent just because it's awkward but it could also be a much more substantial fear of repercussions, punishment or even harm.
You have only to see how some people in this debate advocate hate and even execution to understand why it is worrying to out a trans child to certain kinds of parent.
Stop the hate. Keep kids safe.

Pronouns are a load of BS, brainwashed people will Follow absolute horseshit these days.
That's your opinion. Increasingly contradicted by science.
But that's actually secondary to the subject of this thread. What thoughts do you have on how teachers being required to relay this information to parents could hurt children?
Ok then we are agreed. I've seen too many hateful and violent reactions to this subject to think kids are going to be safe if policy demands that teachers relay this kind of information to parents.

@Pikachu Parents should know their kids, have a good and safe relationship so they can talk to them.
Agreed. That's why i pointed out in the OP that if kids wanted their parents to know then they would tell them. And there could be harmless reasons why they don't want to share or there could be serious reasons they don't want to share.
