No, but kids are socially transitioning at school with the cooperation of school authorities, and this is kept from the parents. In some states, girls can get abortions without parental notification, let alone consent.
It’s worth listening to the podcast Grapevine, by the producers of Southlake, it’s about a trans teen whose mother doesn’t accept her child and the young person’s fight to what is essentially bodily autonomy. Unfortunately so many discussions about transgender youth go straight to the horrifying framing and don’t give space to what the child feels and needs. Note: I’m fully onboard with all people, young & old, making all decisions about their bodies. That includes the right to opt out of treatments for cancer and go with palliative care only, choose euthanasia & girls deciding whether to carry a baby to term without parental consent.
This. I like listen to discussions on bulwark, but I think the hosts should catch up on the reality why dems lost. Reason why we are here is the relentless outrage machine. If not kids hormone treatments (not true), if not gender transition surgery (2 cases nationally) there would be something else the rep media machine would invent. Without fact checks the non-political voter will run with it because they believe it or, because they know it is not true and still happy with the lies.
Fact check: I'm certain no one is giving kids hormone treatments without parental consent.
