"If that is true, what is going on at my child’s school?”
Probably a lot of things that you are ill-equipped and unwilling to distinguish between.
This is why there’s almost never any bottom surgery for minors and certainly not before spending quite a bit of time in therapy.
But you don’t think any of it’s real, and the evil malicious conspirators with doctor degrees want everyone changed willy nilly.
"My daughter’s trans identity started when the school taught a module on ‘identity’ during which they told a group of 11-year-olds that, if you feel uncomfortable in your body, it means you are transgender.”
I really doubt that anyone said THAT.
I mean, how could they possibly know that kids at that age are OFTEN uncomfortable, and confused. Even asking, ‘Is it supposed to do that?’ Do you have a copy of the presentation or the curricula? Or the words of at least two adults that were there?
MAYBE your son heard something that really resonated, and realized he felt that way, and his report wasn’t quite as accurate as it was meant to be.
"She went home, looked up ‘transgender’ on Tiktok, and that was it. She was now trans.”
Maybe. Are you helping him get the right therapy or at least the screening? Or just screaming ‘No! You’re NOT!’ Same way my grandparents told my dad he COULD NOT BE in love with a gentile. Just didn’t work that way.
“I’m no prude, but I also don’t think a constant parade of sexual politics is appropriate for such young children.”
No, you prefer the model I had growing up. Sex is a non-issue. Never heard, never spoken, never suggested, and certainly no one ever cleared up any questions or misconceptions. Like the color chart they were passing around in the locker room. See, you stick a penny in her no-no place, and if it comes out tarnished she has an STD. The color tells you which kind. If it comes out clean, she’s clean.’
Then at 18, suddenly EVERYTHING IS ON YOUR SHOULDERS! If you get pregnant, or get someone pregnant, it’s your fault and you should have known better (despite 18 years of radio silence). If you have quirky feelings it’s the Devil! If you like black girls it’s the devil! If you join the Marines you’ll catch something in Okinowa and it’ll rot off!
"My child’s name and pronouns were changed by the school without my knowledge.”
No, they were not. Your child changed them AT school, and he had good reasons not to tell your bigoted ass.
"We didn’t get so much as a phone call"
Because the school advocates for you kid, not you.
