Transgender and other non-conforming kids face higher rates of psychological, physical, and sexual abuse than their counterparts, according to a 2021 study published in the National Library of Medicine. The justification? Disclosing that a student is transgender could put them in harm’s way, and could violate California’s anti-discrimination law by making them more susceptible to harassment as well as violating the student’s right to privacy, according to the California Department of Education. Teachers and educators cannot share with parents if a student uses new pronouns in school, or comes out as transgender to classmates.
In fact, California already has a law on the books that has forbidden the practice since 2014. Of course, the bill has little chance of advancing in California’s deep-blue Assembly.
