    It’s like thinking that children knowing they have a male and female parent is scandalous.

        Except, one viewpoint is objectively not reality. That’s the whole point of this post, one of the two main political opinions hold the beliefs that:

        • ALL trans women and gay men at pedophiles
        • ALL trans men and gay women are just confused and haven’t found the right husband yet
        • Being trans and transitioning turns you into a sad, pathetic mockery of the other gender who is destined to kill themselves from the shame of it all
        • ALL Queer-adjacent children (under 18) are also confused innocents who have been lead astray by evil forces trying to corrupt the new generation

        None of which are true, in case it wasn’t clear. So no, it should absolutely not be left up to the parents to teach, because when that happens, a solid 30% of (American) childeren are “educated” about a complete un-reality that only exists in the minds of hate-filled bigots, and terrifies all us queers back into the closet.
