If I had a nickel.

No. It's not the school's duty nor right to out a trans or LGB student to anybody. No one.

That's how you get kids abused, kicked out, or sent away to conversion therapy.

If a kid isn't out at home, there's a reason. If they don't trust their family to know something like that, trust that they have a reason.

These kind of parents don't want to believe their child has any autonomy or agency at all. The child is simply an extension of the parent and is to do what the parents say and believe what the parents say. That's how good kids behave. And their kid is good!

So as soon as the kid is old enough and has had enough social and media exposure to have formed their own opinions, feelings, personality, goals, and beliefs, then the cracks start forming in the perfect Mini-Me facade that the parents were clinging to for so long.

And they don't like that. "That's not right! It must be someone's fault that my kid turned out to be a different person than who I wanted them to be! Someone has brainwashed them! Someone has controlled them! Make my baby be normal again!"

Did you PM OP and did OP ever respond? I PMed and never got an answer.

The fact you spent all that money for us. We did nothing to deserve your sacrifice, yet you gave us so much. Someday children will hear tales of u/ReverseMermaidMorty and how he stepped forward and bought snow-prepping equipment so we didn't have to.

Living your life hunting for reasons to be upset, even if you feel righteous and even if you are correct in your position, is bad for you.

You don't need to assume a person is mean-spirited, ignorant, inconsiderate, stupid, or any combination of those traits just because it's technically possible to read and interpret something they wrote in a way that is unkind toward some entity or group.

Please stop stressing yourself out like this.
