Why is this automatically what’s going to happen to kids whose teachers tell their parents if they’re socially transitioning?

I'm not saying it happens to every queer kid, it's to prevent "...28% of LGBTQ youth [reporting] experiencing homelessness or housing instability..." and 52% of queer youth [reporting] to have experienced three or more ACEs (adverse childhood experiences,) which includes emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and physical abuse.

Exactly the difference between you and I. I think the people should be protected from the government, so we can live our lives. You think the government should protect the people by everyone doing what the government thinks.

I don't believe that government is necessarily a bad thing; I highly disagree with many of the policies of governments today, but I think that when government is used for the people, by the people, it can be a very useful and productive tool. Your entire argument boils down to, "Parents are always right and government should just fuck off," which is not just completely incorrect, but extremely disrespectful to those who have experienced abuse by their parents and relatives.

While I'll probably never be able to convince you, when you're in a nursing home wondering why your kids never visit you, I hope you realize what I mean.

So your entire argument is predicated on the belief that all parents know what's best for their child?

So you'd rather have children being thrown out to the streets or even killed by their parents just for talking to another person about their gender identity?

They're not "determining decisions," they're protecting children. There's a reason that kids don't tell their parents that they're queer.

I would recomment PIA VPN. It has a foss client, does not collect any information on your web history, and has a bunch of other options.

I haven't read a lot of cyberpunk novels, but I really enjoyed Snow Crash. I personally think that Cyberpunk 2077 is really good, and Neuromancer is on my list to read this summer.
