I thought there were some great quotes from Fae Johnstone, president of Momentum, a non-profit focused on 2SLGBTQIA+ advocacy: “Mandating parental consent [for self-identified pronoun usage in schools] for trans students will harm the most vulnerable trans kids: those without supportive parents” and “We should be asking: who was pushing for these changes? Because it’s not parents.”
My thoughts on the matter are that the only parents who absolutely insist on being informed by someone other than their own children are the ones who it needs to be kept secret from.
Yes, I would want to know, but only so that I can provide proper support and I hope I’ve made that clear enough that my children see no need to keep me in the dark in the first place.
