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.

Yea parents can be abusive, if those people say some of the stuff to their children that they do on here, that is mentally and emotionally abusive, I could see hiding it from parents due to their own safety.
Same. I've seen people say stuff on here that absolutely justifies a rule that makes sure children are the ones whose choice it is to disclose this kind of information.
@Pikachu Yeah to be honest, some of the stuff I've heard them say makes me honestly scared for their kids because they sound so hostile and aggressive. Makes me wonder if they've done hate crimes in the past to someone and the like. That's why I look around and so long as we have people like on here, I feel like children should have rights. I think they should have rights regardless because parents don't always know better when the parents are irresponsible themselves.
Hell, I just watched a 30 minute videos of kids vs. Karens... not about trans kids at all but I know if there's people who are as irresponsible and narrow minded as these adult Karens are.. I know for sure that some kids be facing abuse like that and who knows what else.
So why shouldn't kids have rights?
The people who say the parent "always" knows what's best are fvcked in the head to begin with I'm sure.
Between the people who seem to think of children as property and those who actively wish violence on trans people i think the need for discretion in these cases speaks for itself.
