Alright, can you tell me if he supports medical transitioning or social transitioning without telling parents?

Let's see how honest you are.

Edit, since people seem to be struggling. The candidate supports SOCIAL transitioning without mandated reporting to parents specifically for child safety to protect from abusive parents. The poster above is implying that medical tranitions happen for kids without parental consent, this is not true.

Social transitioning allows children to explore any feelings of being trans without the potential long-term, lasting effects of medically transitioning. This is usually as simple as wearing different clothes or going by a nickname.

Edit 2, I might be wrong about the person above asserting medical transitions happen. Oh well, morning brain fog got me. Tldr: Social transitioning for a child who feels like they're trans is good.

There is not a single case where a minor had been received a medical transition. There is not a single case where someone forced a social transition.

If a child want to pretend to be another gender, its his right to do so. If he want to truly become another gender, it would be after 18 and still his right to do so.

Nobody is forcing them.

So what are you talking about?

I'm saying the candidate supports allowing students to socially transition without telling parents (ie clothes, nicknames,etc). I'm specifically pushing back on the propaganda that he supports medical transitions for children without parental approval.

Nobody said anything about forced social transitions at all?

If nothing is force, then do not force them to not do it either. If a child want to be called a nickname. Like "Bobby" instead of "Robert" do we need to ask his parents first?

Are you not reading my posts before replying? I'm on your side here...

I'm an not, and have never advocated for FORCED social transitioning.

The screenshot you're posting is my reply to someone implying this happens all the time and trying to get them to clarify themselves that this ISN'T about medical transition.
