California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit Monday against the Chino school district, ordering an end to a policy that requires notifying parents if their children change their gender identity, alleging it is discriminatory and violates civil rights and privacy laws.

The “parental notification” policy, which has been proposed by a handful of conservative-leaning districts in California, puts transgender and gender-nonconforming students in “danger of imminent, irreparable harm” by potentially forcibly “outing” them at home before they’re ready, according to the lawsuit.

    I didn’t say I supported it. I said that claiming that it is forcing everyone to live the same way is false and claiming that makes the side that is opposed to the disclosure rule look stupid and irrational.

      You are actually so fucking dense, holy fuck.

      Yes, it does force trans kids to be in the closet at school. That’s the point of the policy. That’s why the policy is bad.

        It doesn’t force the same lifestyle into everyone. That’s just silly and it’s silly to say that. You’re being dense because you refuse to acknowledge that objective fact.

          No one said that?

          People said that it forces trans kids to stay in the closet.

          If they said that specifically, it was probably someone being hyperbolic, but essentially correct about it.

          You’re honestly an idiot.
