No.

We probably do but as you said, how do we separate the two issues? No. My position has been to protect kids from the parents that ARE shitty parents. I recognize - and have said repeatedly - not all parents are crap parents. And usually they already know their kid is GLBTQIA+, which is why I...

First off, I'm sorry your Son went through that. And it should never have gotten TO that point. I know what it's like to be bullied too. I also know what it's like to NOT want your parents to know. I'm not questioning your logic of keeping parents in the know. That ISN'T the issue, because...

Yeah but Willy was a Willy lover, allegedly, so... :P

You're assuming a school is. They're not. All they are doing is respecting the kid's request that their parent - who may react questionably - not be informed that the kid has different pronouns and a different use name at school. That's it. The school can't change their names legally, they...

If you're good with your kid being GLBTQIA+, you've nothing to worry about. Parents may be okay parents... until they're not, and in the case of some GLBTQIA+ kids, sometimes they're not. There is - at least in NB's case - an added bit to 713 that says if the kid fears reaction, and doesn't...

Why can't it be left up to the kids, who are the ones in the end dealing with this, to decide? If a kid has issues at home and fears being outed, then the school respects that and doesn't mention pronouns or name change when in meetings with the parents. If the parents are okay and know...

Yeah, it happens, but the point of the report is that bad treatment is growing, especially with POC. As for your issue about how the data was collected and if it can be believed; that's how hospitals themselves collect data from patients - by survey. Even our hospital will send home a...

Getting permission for a tylenol or advil, and going on an outing (ha) is NOT the same as honoring the request of a kid who may want to test out names/pronouns as part of a social transition, and doesn't want their parent to know out of fear of a negative reaction. And the levels of 'permission...

.... No, that ISN'T what the issue is. And this person should know better, considering they're Trans themselves, supposedly. Which I guess goes to show that sometimes, even our own worse enemies, can be the people who should know fucking better.

Neither; the kids were not teased. He said IF his kids were made fun of, the teacher could NOT turn it into a learning situation to discuss diverse families. So instead of the other kid learning that not all families are a mom and dad, but could be other things too, the kid would just be dealt...

To you it may not be "poor treatment" but for the hospital, for the nurses, and usually for patients and their families, waiting an hour to answer a call IS poor treatment. I've yet to see a family tolerate mom being left alone for an hour after buzzing for something in our hospital. In fact...

https://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/2831428/maternal-care-mistreatment-cdc-study/ This article throws a bit more information out there than the original CDC does. In looking for more information about that last situation, I also came across this study from 2015...

Put it to you this way. If a kid is abused at home, a teacher notices it, and approaches the kid about it. The kid, trusting the teacher, confides in them what is going on. They say "don't tell mom/dad cause they'll get worse." By law, the teacher does have to report child abuse, right? But...

Considering the listed mistreatments people experienced, the idea of it being "perception" is a little stretched, IMO. Receiving no response to requests for help Being shouted at or scolded Not having their physical privacy protected Being threatened with withholding treatment or made to accept...

The point is the Maternity Care, not what race the doctors were. It'd end up all the same, as it were anyway: women are getting less care than they used to, especially POC.

Sadly that's probably the only answer that's "proper" to some people.

Thought this was interesting. An oil and gas guy put up half an acre for solar in a Co-op form.
