      According to someone on a discord I was on, they got called to the principal and the principal said “don’t be mad at me, but this is the rules” and made the kid call their own parents and say it.

        That’s so messed up, and really cowardly of the adults. Trying to assuage his own guilt with “sorry, just following orders” is such a cop out excuse.

          Right? And I expected it was more of a “we’ll call your parents” situation. If they’re forcing kids to make the call that’s fucking torture

          I’m not defending transphobia. I read the news article wrong.

          I thought it was saying that children who felt unsafe coming out to their parents would be given a psychologist to help them come up with a plan to deal with their family.

          That’s not the case, but if it was, I would possibly be supportive of that as long as conversion therapy is illegal.
