      No no no, when you’re this conceited, you care more about how your perfect gene pool could ever have spawned such an abomination. Then you use your insecurity to do something you were planning on doing anyway due to taxes to appease your conservative fanboys.

      And I don’t really agree with the law either. I don’t like the government telling children it’s ok to lie to their parents. I can imagine an enthusiastic extremist counsellor convincing a kid their feelings mean they were meant to be the opposite gender when they really weren’t. Parents being clueless until the court protected therapy was already planned. It’s a little dangerous.

        “I don’t like children being safe from abusive parents. Parents should decide what gender their child is despite court-protected therapy.”

          Stop projecting, not all parents are abusive.

            All parents preventing children from speaking to a therapist about being transgender are abusive, that’s probably why it needs to be court-protected, huh? Regardless of the (utterly fictitious) extremist radical guidance counselor “tricking” the child into (gasp) starting therapy.

              This law isn’t about preventing therapy, therapy is still available. This is about control.

                What were the parents going to do about the therapy before it was planned? Did you not read your own thoughts?

        Its not telling kids they can lie to their parents, its saying that schools aren’t required to put kids into dangerous situations arbitrarily. And only in this very specific scenario.

          I look at it differently. It’s a step towards the state raising children instead of parents. It takes those specific guardianship rights away and hands them to an arbitrary school employee.

          In the future, when it expands to other social aspects, we’ll have no recourse. Still sounds like an overreach to me. It’s not like parents don’t swing towards conversion therapy in many cases. Just read up on the couple who breast fed their kid on a non-functional nipple and was in the process of transitioning their 5yr old.
