And it is quite another thing to suggest to an adolescent that their angst may be rooted in the fact they are living in the wrong body and perhaps they should talk to their guidance counselor about it. And until we get this figured out, it is best to not let your parents know.

I suppose part of that is because we use schools as a front line touch point for mental health services. That's why we have counselors in school - because being a child often comes with a lot of mental health stressors which interfere with getting a good education. We want teachers and counselors to talk to kids when they observe signs of significant mental health problems - mostly because that's our main way of discovering abuse, mistreatment, and neglect in home environments.

But hey, how can I be free unless I can wash my hairy balls in the same shower as your teenage daughter. My rights supersede your daughters rights.

What if my daughter is the trans person, in this scenario?

You consistently frame your rhetorical gestures to emphasize the cis person who might be discomfited. But what do you think should happen if you have a trans daughter? Should they go to the boy's shower room? What do you think will happen to her in there?
