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.

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

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.

But you want to hide critical medical information that could have serious impact on the child’s recovery. It is your side that insists that this information is critical to mental health, remember. But you want that hidden, harming the recovery of a sex assault survivor and her parent who is doing her best to help her child.

Anyhow, I am stepping out of this conversation. These threads tend to just convince me even more of how morally bankrupt trans rights advocates are, but this is a new low, and frankly I don’t want to see it further. It’s too disturbing. I’m out.

DP. Because you are refusing to understand what the parent of the assault-surviving-DD was asking, she wanted to know that her DD had changed her pronouns at school. Which current guidelines did not require and which the new state guidelines do.

If changing your pronouns at school is a sign that somebody was sexually assaulted. Then the teacher should notify CPS not the parent.

Anybody, but a forensic psychologist interviewing a child about a sexual assault can make it impossible for the child to properly explain what happened in a way that can be taken to court.

Telling the parents first greatly compromises Any ability for the police to find out who was the rapist.

So the new rule is actually extremely dangerous for the sexual assault survivor.

Actually, I don’t wanna hide the information I believe the information should go to CPS for them to do an investigation that is proper, legal, and in the best interest of the child.

Women should support women.

Instead of punching down on vulnerable people, why not fight the real issues that exist in women’s athletics - disproportionate opportunities, facilities, and funding/pay for women’s sports.

I know, right? Women's sports are about being on a team, not about winning. Women athletes don't care about winning and aren't competitive or aggressive, they only want to play.

Ugh.

Athletics in general are not all about winning.

Even in the Olympics:

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.

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

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.

DP. Because you are refusing to understand what the parent of the assault-surviving-DD was asking, she wanted to know that her DD had changed her pronouns at school. Which current guidelines did not require and which the new state guidelines do.

Good. As they should. No reason for letting schools do something that parents do not know about.

Basically, Youngkin wants to force schools to OUT kids. That is disgusting.

Sounds completely and totally reasonable.

These are not kids who are attracted to members of the same sex. These are kids that feel their biological sex does not match who they feel they are. This is a big deal and parents should know. No one is asking for them to be “outed.” The issue is that they are “outed” by the school without their parents knowledge. They are choosing to identity as the sex that doesn’t correspond with their birth and the school is affirming this choice without informing the parent. This is a decision that will have a profound effect on the child mentally and emotionally. Therefore the child’s parents should know about it. If the school fears that the child will be in danger if they inform the parents then the should go directly to CPS which will then make their own decision over what steps to take. This is not an unreasonable thing to ask APS to do. APS asks for consent to give my child Tylenol, take them to a field trip but they won’t let me know if my girl start identifying as a boy? This makes no sense logically.

Oh another funny one - I had to sign a form signing up my daughter for some lunch bunch program that is run by our wonderful school counselor. APS requires my consent for that but not if they decide to treat my daughter as if she were a boy.

It doesn’t make sense because you should already know and how dies teacher A know teacher B didn’t already tell you.

Where does it end? Do I tell you they are dating? They express not wanting to be a ductile but you think they will be one? That they change their clothes when they leave your house and get to school? That they are hanging with the goth kids? That they have a nick name. That they put makeup on now? That boys wear makeup? Ear piercings? Other piercings?

Teachers are there to teach not police your children social interactions.
