Where did I say "all the time"? I never said that ONCE. You've created a strawman argument.
Changing your name and insisting that people use a whole new set of pronouns is a big deal. It could mean puberty blockers is next, and hormone drugs and maybe even surgeries. That's serious stuff. I know a person who died from complications of an tonsillectomy. This is a lot more serious. If my child throws up in class, they'd have called me. In fact, when my grand daughter became ill and threw up in the hall, they called me because they couldn't get in touch with my daughter or her husband. They do it already.....but for some reason, they can't do it when the child wants to secretly keep girls clothes at school, purchased by someone other than the parent, and wear those clothes. That's insane.
Another thing, quite often depression isn't always about relationships. It's also a medical condition and if a child decides that the reason they're depressed is due to gender issues, that's a self diagnosis. Since when do patients diagnose themselves? And if the teacher is telling her that this is the answer, the teacher is practising medicine. That's unlawful AND irresponsibly reckless.
To finish, all it takes is a phone call. If they can call me, as they have my emergency number, when my grand daughter threw up, they can inform the family about her new pronoun preferences. The implications are too serious to ignore.
