Sadly this also happened recently in Sydney. The parent even had police called on him for daring to complain that it has no place in a kindergarten.

Yep. This is a global movement for perverts in schools and government to try to corrupt innocent children. Their end goal is that they have free reign to molest them, and then order parents who try to stop them arrested under charges of being “homophobic”.

TAVISTOCK CLINIC

NHS 'facing a wave of lawsuits' over Tavistock clinic / 11min
1,000 Families unite in sex-change fight



UK / NHS to close Tavistock child gender identity clinic
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62335665
.. In the case of Keira Bell. now aged 25, she was prescribed puberty blockers aged 16, then received testosterone shots a year later, and aged 20 had a double mastectomy.

She later changed her mind over her decision to transition to male. She argued the clinic should have challenged her more over her decision to transition.

Puberty blockers, which can be used to put a pause on puberty while a young person thinks about their gender identity, were first introduced into transgender care by specialists in the Netherlands in 1988.

In Ms Bell's case, the High Court ruled under-16s lacked capacity to give informed consent to the treatment.
This was later overturned by the Court of Appeal which ruled doctors could judge if under-16s could give informed consent to puberty blocker use.

Ms Bell told BBC Radio 4 World at One: "I went through a lot of distress as a teenager. Really I just needed some mental health support and therapy from everything that I've been through. There needs to be mental health support first and foremost." .. ..
From the article, there is nothing to suggest these lawsuits will be enough to end these gruesome practices on children.
Prayers for eyes to be opened. And clnics closed.

“There needs to be” - parents with sense+backbone to say no. Waiting until legal age should not be controversial.
The for-profits need to be stopped. Hands-off minors.

Just don't make the mistake of assuming someone who decided transitioning was wrong now properly sees it as sinful. Declining to be called a female anymore, yet some of these guys still end up taking estrogen for years... Nothing is as clear as we would like it to be.

Rod Dreher, in his 5-alarm-fire, writing-style, has a deeply disturbing post this morning about the latest advances into the culture, particularly in schools and hospitals, of what is now being called "gender-affirming" care. It's gruesome so read cautiously.

The description of the problem is more persuasive than the proposed solution:
The only power capable of stopping this monstrous exploitation of children is the State.

Oh, it's a big deal or people wouldn't be fighting about it.

What a certain poster might do is point out the utter rank hypocrisy of conservatives who want the state to MANDATE standards of medical care and regulate intimate medical decisions when it comes to this subject but then turn around and virulently oppose the state mandating other standards of medical care for minors when it comes to deadly infectious diseases and vaccines. Children don't die because they take hormone blockers. They do die of diseases like polio, measles, tuberculosis, and yes COVID.

And if we are going to use the state to regulate this area of child rearing, what about those who say religious schooling and Amish schools that stop at the 8th grade are tantamount to child abuse? That argument is being made right now with respect to the Taliban's prohibition on education for girls. Should the state step in and regulate education as well? At this very moment the US and other western nations are wielding the power of famine over Afghanistan to try and affect state educational policy among other things.

The consistent and coherent conservative religious view on this subject would be to say "We believe that children and adults are making a mistake when they mess with their God-given gender whether it is through medicine, dress, lifestyle (professions and roles), or pronouns. However we do not believe in using the vast power of the state to intervene in the personal medical decisions, lifestyle decisions, or educational decisions of families and individuals when it comes to this or any other subject best left to individuals and families. That is what it means to live in a free society"
The only power capable of stopping this monstrous exploitation of children is the State.
Sounds remarkably identical to those who argue for using the power of the state to mandate vaccinations as opposed to merely encouraging them.
