He means the teachers would not have to inform the parents of anything including truancy.

@IanH7489 I don't think you actually understood their statement.

@vanessamaldonado5877 Children cannot consent, so unless you wish to have kids drinking, smoking, carrying guns, joining the military, voting and having sex, you need to back up along with any and all "associations".

@ryancraig9352 Considering transphobia means accepting everything without question you could get to that conclusion without much thought. Considering children are known to be easily influenced and cannot give consent there needs to be an actual discussion that does not include "phobia". No one is afraid of "trans" or children that feel they are another sex, they are afraid of them being mistaken, influenced and being given the opportunity to make an adult choice that is irreversible.

@TonyMidyett He did, he has a way of speaking and you have a way of interpreting. Communication and understanding are the two hardest things for humans to accomplish.

In order for that to happen he would need to combined support of the military and populace and we know that is not going to happen. Seriously he had four years and none of this happened. Hate all you want but this is cringe levels of paranoia or outright propaganda.

@IanH7489 I agree completely but we have to start somewhere.

@maro_1059 Is he a biologist?

@vanessamaldonado5877 But it's not "medically necessary care" nor can a child consent to such things and shouldn't be able to. You are talking about a time in a persons life where they go through "stages" and styles etc. No one cares if a councillor gives affirmation but seriously there is talk of children transitioning. Or puberty blockers, hormones etc Hell Shawn mendes is 26 and still has no clue about his sexuality, how can a child? This is all a fad, I feel sorry for the few that actually experience suck a thing but more so for those that are just influenced.

@vanessamaldonado5877 I don't need a doctorate. Studies are not always the whole truth, there needs to be a meta analysis of all studies to look for bias and poor methodology. And FWIW "gender affirming care" includes surgeries, legal interventions, hormones etc so your take on "no surgeries" is incorrect. And gender dysphoria is a thing, as is gender fluidity so you tell me how can a child know the difference is there is so much nuance? Nope, a child should not be able to consent to any of these things, it is beyond their ability to navigate.

@vanessamaldonado5877 No I don't and your entire line of thinking is an appeal to authority. It doesn't take a specific doctorate to understand discrepancy, like the discrepancy in consent you wont touch on but it is a factor no matter what anyone with a doctorate might say. So logically if a child can consent to anything within this topic then it is certainly able to consent to any adult related topic. If a child can consent to sexual reorientation then it can consent to sex or any other adult topic because guess what, only one has permanent consequences that cannot be reversed so if they have enough clarity of mind to make that decision based on science then everything else is fair game.

@trixiesilver4030 You say all that but when it comes down to it biological sex is taboo for one side of this discussion and it also comes with the expectation that CIS should include trans in their dating pool otherwise they are "Phobes". It also creates a second class of citizen since specific laws about harassment etc have been created where there did not need to be. We already have laws about bullying, harassment and hate speech.

@gianthills I will leave that to those that suffer from dysphoria.

@vanessamaldonado5877 Bullshit, that info came from the Mayo clinic and other sources. "Almost all" isn't "all" and that is one issue. The main issue is consent, again something you ignore. I don;t care if an adult transitions. And I haven't found any meta studies, you can list one if you find it, I also can't find any data on detransitioning as it isn't really tracked nor are the people that do not go to follow ups. So the studies are really showing a skewed populace of people that remain happy and involved with the research and lifestyle. Anyway bottom line is children can't consent.

@Starflower731 Sorry to tell you but the words are already conflated. You know as well as I that gender affirming care can take the form of sex change or hormone therapy. And again, sorry to say, there is also gender dysphoria and gender fluidity that a child has no ability to navigate. This is not bigotry since I stated an adult can do what they will, just that a child cannot consent. And please tell me what gender blue is and how it affects gender, please include the mechanism that achieve this outside of social pressure. FWIW the same people that say a child can play with any sort of toy and it not be an issue of gender are the same that will say Johnny is playing with a doll, he must be X.
