The kids who have come out to me and asked me to keep it quiet are terrified of their parents finding out. They're terrified of being beaten or kicked out.

This is both fear-mongering and overly simplistic.

LOL. Quite the gaslighting there.

Leave LGBTQ+ kids alone. You don’t get to decide what happens for other people’s kids.

That’s the point. You don’t get to decide what happens for other people’s kids. Their parents do.

Even if that is beating them?

If a parent is beating or threatening to beat a child then CPS gets involved. Teachers are mandated reporters. They would report the parents. We already have laws for that.

+1 exactly

What others do with their children is none of my business - I don’t know their situation and I’m sure they are doing what they feel is best for their child. I wish others would acknowledge that the experience of others may be different.
Sorry, I just found many of these comments really upsetting…

I’m so sorry.

I was sexually assaulted when I was 13. I am fairly certain that as a neuro-atypical girl who was severely disassociating from my body as a result of the attack, a trans identity would have been extremely appealing at the time. I wish you and your child the best of luck.

Unfortunately trans activists like the ones posting believe they know what’s better for your child. They believe they know your child more than you.

That is the impression I am getting - that and it is somehow my fault. Oh, and previous poster: thank you so much for the kind words.

It's not clear what your issue is with the teachers. You think the teachers are helping your kid to get medication? Or...you're mad that the teachers are using a preferred name?

Good lord… I’m not an idiot and I don’t think the school is trying to give my kid freaking hormones. In my situation, a heads-up that my kid was requesting to be called by a male name that is completely unlike her own would have been nice. My child’s doctors could have been made aware sooner.

That PP does not care that your child suffered a sexual assault. Of course that information was critical to know, given the bodily disassociation after the assault. But this is a group of people who for whom the sexual assault of girls is unimportant, so it follows that treating the outcome of that assault would be unimportant to them.

It’s not a teachers fault that your relationship with your child sucks.

See, these are who trans activists are. They simply do not care about the sexual assault of children or recovery from that assault. Kind of amazing how willing the PP is to just come out and prove the point immediately.

Well this thread went downhill fast. They anti trans folks can't have a convo without vilifying the parents and teachers who are standing up for trans kids rights and safety. Very disturbing.

Maybe you should stop harassing and blaming the parent of a child who has suffered a sexual assault and is doing her best to help that child. That’s extremely disturbing.

It is your side. It deserves to be called out and it is a recognizable pattern of behavior.

I’m tired of this anti-girl theology. I’m sick and tired of the gaslighting and the falsehoods. And I am sick of people who attack the parents of sexual assault victims who are disassociating from their bodies. Get your side to be less awful if you don’t want attacks. I’m not even someone who thinks these guidelines are well-considered, but I am so sick of this anti-girl belief system you demand we adopt.

Says the side attacking the mom of a sexual assault survivor just trying her best to help her kid. Tell me again how you aren’t anti-girl.

Again it’s not up to a teacher to suss out every child’s behavior and make a determination of root cause. They are there to support children not analyze them.

If the teacher suspects a child was sexually assaulted, it is not procedure. I repeat NOT PROCEDURE to tell a parent. They should call CPS.

It’s insane that you think a parent should change, tried and true processes to protect children.

I’m fine with teachers calling CPS I am not fine with them calling parents.

pro trans is not anti girl

Says the side attacking the mom of a sexual assault survivor just trying her best to help her kid. Tell me again how you aren’t anti-girl.

It’s not a teacher’s fault that your child was sexually assaulted and it’s not their job to tell you it’s the job of the police

Sorry, I just found many of these comments really upsetting…

I’m so sorry.

I was sexually assaulted when I was 13. I am fairly certain that as a neuro-atypical girl who was severely disassociating from my body as a result of the attack, a trans identity would have been extremely appealing at the time. I wish you and your child the best of luck.

Unfortunately trans activists like the ones posting believe they know what’s better for your child. They believe they know your child more than you.

That is the impression I am getting - that and it is somehow my fault. Oh, and previous poster: thank you so much for the kind words.

It's not clear what your issue is with the teachers. You think the teachers are helping your kid to get medication? Or...you're mad that the teachers are using a preferred name?

Good lord… I’m not an idiot and I don’t think the school is trying to give my kid freaking hormones. In my situation, a heads-up that my kid was requesting to be called by a male name that is completely unlike her own would have been nice. My child’s doctors could have been made aware sooner.

It’s not a teachers fault that your relationship with your child sucks.

See, these are who trans activists are. They simply do not care about the sexual assault of children or recovery from that assault. Kind of amazing how willing the PP is to just come out and prove the point immediately.

Well this thread went downhill fast. They anti trans folks can't have a convo without vilifying the parents and teachers who are standing up for trans kids rights and safety. Very disturbing.

Maybe you should stop harassing and blaming the parent of a child who has suffered a sexual assault and is doing her best to help that child. That’s extremely disturbing.

That wasn't me, I was just making an observation about your attacks

It is your side. It deserves to be called out and it is a recognizable pattern of behavior.

I’m tired of this anti-girl theology. I’m sick and tired of the gaslighting and the falsehoods. And I am sick of people who attack the parents of sexual assault victims who are disassociating from their bodies. Get your side to be less awful if you don’t want attacks. I’m not even someone who thinks these guidelines are well-considered, but I am so sick of this anti-girl belief system you demand we adopt.

So you are apparently okay with the PPs attacking the mom for seeking critical health information to help her kid, and asking that schools continue to hide that information.

That is genuinely awful. Just awful.

I support the long proven procedure of contacting CPS, not parents if they think a child was abused.

pro trans is not anti girl

Pro trans in sports most certainly is anti- female.
