As the mom of a child who suddenly identified as transgender at age 17, I find these policies promoting the changing of a child's sex to be deplorable. My child is mentally ill and 20 years ago would never have thought they could change their sex, but now that this path is being encouraged everywhere, kids with autism, anxiety, bipolar disorder, body dysmorphia, PTSD and many other mental illnesses are told they can escape their problems by magically changing their sex, and then their actual illness is never addressed. Parents have no say in the matter and schools are now taking over parenting, but they're not the ones up at night with our sick children, or in the hospital with them if one of these "treatments" for changing sex goes wrong - what is happening in this State?
