Two members of the Orange Unified School District board have been removed by parents who opposed a policy requiring school staff to out transgender kids.

Parents in Southern California have voted to remove two conservative school board members after they spearheaded a policy that forcibly outs transgender students to their guardians.

Members of the Orange Unified School District board voted 4-0 to enact the policy in September. It was passed at 11:30 p.m., after the three opposed members walked out and withheld their votes.

The policy states that parents must be notified when a student seeks “to be identified as a gender other than the student’s biological sex or gender listed on the student’s birth certificate or any other official records.” This includes names, nicknames, and pronouns, and applies even if the student hasn’t taken action but has discussed the matter with a counselor.

At the initial meeting in September, the board was overwhelmed by crowds who showed up to either protest or support the policy. However, the majority of the attendees voicing support did not have children in the district’s schools, and most were not residents of the area, according to the Times.

    The only one sounding dumb here is you. Someone gives an honest, respectful and transparent appraisal of how your arguments sound in public and this is your reaction. I wouldn’t want to be your kid and if I were I wouldn’t want to talk to you either.

          You have zero evidence to support that claim. It is purely anticdotal and not even close to realistic.

              I am not saying that at all. Re read what I wrote. I said that not giving parents a chance is not fair to the parent.

                  I don’t hold hatred to anyone. I just don’t allow people to bully me into stupidity. I know what I meant and I know what I said. If you don’t like it, don’t respond.

                    Yeah, if that’s the case, tell me more about “acting” and “words”?

                    fuck me, you’re such a stupid piece of shit.

            Outing trans and gay kids to transphobic and homophobic parents has zero evidence that it causes real harm and puts those kids in danger? I’m gonna need some sources on that. The suicide rates and rates of homelessness among LGBT youth say otherwise.

        Lol, I will tell this story to my mom and she will laugh at you. Then 20 minutes later we won’t even remember that you exist. Just like your kids won’t in 20 years.

          Lmao like you know how well adjusted they are. You don’t understand parenting and it’s sad you think you do.
