Tennessee schools would have to out transgender students to parents under bill heading to governor
Tennessee would join the ranks of states where public school employees have to out transgender students to their parents under a bill advancing in the Republican-supermajority Legislature.
Party of hate. Party of bigots. Party of persecution.
Damn Tennessee, y’all elected some real dipshits.
Y’know the title of “Florida” was already won earlier this decade, right.
Florida has the highest domestic migration in the country. New York, Illinois and California have the worst.

Party of Small Government back at it again.
Nice way to drive up depression prescriptions n suicides yah jackasses.
That's their goal, soft genocide
It's the other way around. They are destroying the starting end of the pipeline to youth with identity issues and depression by dealing with the problem at its root, which is the corrupted school system.

That's called FREEDOM and SMALL GOVERNMENT! I HATE Stupid LIBTARDS who think KIDS should be SAFE from Abusive parents! SOCIALISTS!
Are you advocating for kidnapping children from their parents because you think that they are abusive for not letting their children fall victim to indoctrination and unscientific "care"?
In other words, are you advocating for potentially deadly force against fathers and mothers who don't want their children to be in this pipeline of depression and suicide? Because that's what legally kidnapping children from their parents entails if the parents refuse to have their children be taken.
I’m confused. What would someone at school be able to verify that a parent couldn’t? Are they checking genitalia or something. The rights obsession with people’s private parts is getting real weird.
Yeah this is definitely a weird area. I can only assume this is in a situation where the kid has confided in a counselor that they are trans.
The right loves children's genitalia. They think about it all day
This country just continues to use children like objects. They have no rights or human dignity or anything. Politicians think children should be playthings for their parents to use at will. To abuse. To cheat. To scar. To brutalize.
My armor is contempt.
My shield is disgust.
My sword is hatred.
- Supply Side LitanyI don't understand this at all. Maybe I'm out of touch but...how wouldn't a parent know their kid is trans?
How would a school ever be in a position to "out" a child in that sense?
Some parents are just bigots. Some are brainwashed by religion. Some are just afraid and/or angry about anything they don't understand. If a kid isn't telling their parents, there is probably a VERY good reason. Kids get beaten. Kids get kicked out of their homes. Kids get sent to conversion camps. Parents can be just as terrible as anyone else.
I understand that but I guess I don't understand being "trans" then. Is Susan going by "Steve" just at school? Are they changing clothes before first period and before they go home?
Honestly at some point that probably should come up in a parent teacher conference or something, but it's a dumb thing to legislate and require.
This whole thing is performative and any legislature spending time on this vs actual meaningful work should be ashamed of themselves. I'm sure the people of Tennessee have bigger fish to fry than trying to force teachers to narc out kids.
And shame on any parent who has such a toxic relationship with their kid that they want the government to require teachers of all people to tattle on their kids.
Some children can't or don't trust their parents to tell them.
You can be trans without transitioning. Got to start somewhere.
Just hold out till the November election. Then the whole thing will be forgotten.
The idea that a school would not share something this important with the child's parents or would even be hostile to the idea is evidence that public institutions are anti-parent and anti-family.
There are a lot of parents that are not supportive of their children. Especially if they fall on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. This puts kids at risk. This will harm children.
The problem has been that many schools around the US have been running queer theory indoctrination programs in order to confuse children about their sex. Then they have "helped" a subset of said confused children access irreversible and unscientific gender affirming "care" such as hormone therapy without the parents' consent or knowledge.
It's really horrific how many lives these people are destroying, and they are getting away with it.
Edit: Downvotes are expected. But that should not be an issue because as we have learned from the history of Communist Russia or Nazi Germany, the most popular opinion is not always in line with justice and truth. Scientists from Europe are running huge studies and debunking claims by queer theorists that gender affirming care is necessary to prevent suicide. But that doesn't matter to many "comrades" that roam Lemmy. Some even hint at using very authoritarian measures such as violently kidnapping children from their parents who don't want their children falling victims to this. Just to show you that my comparison to historically authoritarian socialist regimes is justified.
Removed misinformation from a transphobic troll who has been banned repeatedly.
The bigoted propaganda has worked well on you. Say hi to JK Rowling at the next meeting.
