Also - is that really the argument she wants to go with? Seems a feeble strawman argument. Is it really a parent's business which religion the child is following? When my sister was in high school she did "jesus freak" briefly - I don't think the school told our parents.
The child in the story - Bradshaw's child who had strugged from ADHD and whatnot - were they in counseling? seeing a doctor? Why didn't the parent already know about the child's transition?
Anyway, let children have some privacy. Seems like if they are transitioning, parents will notice it anyway. And if they don't notice, doesn't that say something too?
