    That’s not different at all, and yes you read it wrong. They are being forcibly outed.

    • 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.

        • 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

            “Following the rules” is a cop out. There’s so many ways for the principal to “follow the rules”, but protect the kids.

            For example, leave a 10min voice mail where the principle reads the admissions forms line by line in monotone. It’s there, and provable. The principal did in fact read line 6 of page 23 where is said “gender, with options male, female. male”

        Don’t defend these terrible people. You don’t have to cover for transphobia

          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.
