Straw man arguments. Society upended? Suggests at the very least people marching in the street. I don't see it.

Nor o I believe you start teaching your children about transgenders in Kindergarten.

There is no such teaching. Period.

What you believe parents should 'encourage' is just another expression of the busybody authoritarianism that permeates much of what you post. Misinformation + hyperbole = hysteria.

Muddled thinking and imprecise writing don't help either.

Did California Attempt to Force Parents to Accept a Curriculum That Teaches Children ‘There Are 15 Genders’?

Conservative websites exploded into outrage at what they described as mandatory "indoctrination sessions" on gender identity for K-12 students.

That claim was utterly false. As we’ve established — and as even a brief check of the draft framework would have revealed to FreedomProject — Who Are You? was recommended as reading material for parents, not teachers, and the document said only that the two books listed there “can be shared” between parents and their children, not that they must be shared.

A spokesperson for the California Department of Education confirmed the optional nature of the recommendations, writing to us in an email that: “The purpose of the framework is to provide guidance for teachers and administrators.

There is nothing mandatory about the guidance offered in the framework … LEAs [school districts] are not obligated to use any suggested curriculum or handouts referenced in the framework.”

When asked what consequences there might be if a parent or guardian declined to read any of the suggested books with their child, the Department of Education spokesperson replied simply, “None.”

conix, This looks to be your personal opinion

"And the phenom of transgender regret continues to grow..."

I'm guessing "relief" would be a better word for the transgenders who don't have to hide themselves away as others before them have had to.
