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 [i]wanted [/i] 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.

They don't give a fuck about child safety. What they care about is everybody fitting into their assigned gender box, marking all the stereotypes, and never ever straying from the rigid traditional roles they've been assigned against their will.
I think they do care about child safety, they jut consider fitting into their assigned gender box and rigidly adhering to traditional gender roles to be in the best interest of children no mater how much that is contradicted by the real world.
I take the position that most people are trying to do what they think is right even if they happen to be mistaken or driven by ideology rather than fact.
