No no no, when you’re this conceited, you care more about how your perfect gene pool could ever have spawned such an abomination. Then you use your insecurity to do something you were planning on doing anyway due to taxes to appease your conservative fanboys.

And I don’t really agree with the law either. I don’t like the government telling children it’s ok to lie to their parents. I can imagine an enthusiastic extremist counsellor convincing a kid their feelings mean they were meant to be the opposite gender when they really weren’t.

  Stop projecting, not all parents are abusive.

    This law isn’t about preventing therapy, therapy is still available. This is about control.

  I look at it differently. It’s a step towards the state raising children instead of parents. It takes those specific guardianship rights away and hands them to an arbitrary school employee.
  
  In the future, when it expands to other social aspects, we’ll have no recourse. Still sounds like an overreach to me.

Probably has never happened (although I will conceded that there are probably some counsellors who have made a mistake and maybe pushed it too hard), but what I can say for certain is that extremist parents have done exactly this, many times, over and over. Which is why the law exists and should exist.
