Yes, that's kind of the point of discussing the trend of this "issue". But any societal issue is likely to be an issue at any high school isn't it? The left seems to have a notion that "the right not to be offended" is enshrined in the Bill of Rights.

But so we are clear, is there any evidence that he tweeted "it out to teens and parents who were in the midst of this conversation"?

Regardless, I wonder why would a parent or child with the "issue" be concerned about hearing of the experiences of others also suffering the "issue" and the consequences of inappropriate medical "care".

Putting myself in that situation as a parent, I would be angry because an identified school administrator (leader)speaks with more authority than than just anyone. I would be just as angry if I had a pregnant teen and they quoted an article for or against abortion. Again, that’s me. Too much into what I would consider a family matter. Again just saying how I would feel. Same thing with a decision to use growth hormones for short stature or Ritalin for ADD. Lap band surgery, breast augmentation, even future covid vax. All controversial, all long term repercussions
Clearly you think he did not cross a boundary.

I wish people would grow up and behave like the adults they are.
There is nothing new, unusual or anti-American in a parent coming to the defense of their kids. Maybe the teacher meant well, but sometimes you lose your job for making the wrong comments in public, and that too is nothing new.

It would make a difference if the information cited came from an unbiased source like the cdc or the doe. It doesn’t matter if it’s left leaning or right leaning but it’s not simply facts when there is an agenda behind it.

I kind of agree with it....you don’t want to anyone to drastic to happen to young.
Now mother’s are saying he is transphobic and should be fired. One teacher (who posts public hatred against Trump and his supporters but gets no consequences for it) is starting a campaign for people to write letters to the school to educate him. But many are saying he needs to be fired immediately. Ruin him and his families life over a different opinion?

Can you link the article you're referencing and quoting?

Reason I ask is, NO ONE is removing children's sex organs.

I still didn't get to the part mentioned in the OP - that teenage girls are realizing they've made a mistake having all their girl parts removed. NO ONE is doing that in the US.

There was some mention of girls having their breasts removed, which I don't for a minute believe is happening in the US, to healthy girls in the absence of cancers. I'd like to know what in the world these people are talking about -

Firing the guy seems kind of over the top. But in many of these cases the teacher isn't well liked (by admin) and they use stuff like this to get rid of them. Seen it once, seen it a thousand times.

A teacher that they like gets a reprimand. Ones they don't like get kicked to the curb.

People who think boys are really girls should be institutionalized. Bring back the psych hospitals.
