  1. The party of micromanaging strikes again….

    Fix the roads and work to get us out of the bottom 5 for infant deaths and stop worrying about what people do in their bedrooms

  2. This really is part of a “Slate of Hate.” Our legislators should be ashamed of themselves for promoting such awful, immoral legislation. You can bet that if this becomes law, the requirements will ultimately result in harm to vulnerable kids, potentially even suicides.

    1. There’s already 43% suicide rate, Steve. And this is after we bend backwards to affirm them at every opportunity–attempting to shield them from anyone who objects to this and even incentivizing teachers to hide this from parents, to nurture it in confused kids, one might even say to groom the kids. (Dare I say it?)

      Imagine thinking it’s a good idea to presume parents are the bad guys, that they don’t love their children…simply because not all of them think it’s a great idea to surrender their kids to faddish mass psychosis movements.

      Should we have let teenaged girls starve themselves to death in the 1990s because a failure to affirm their ideal body image is “hateful”? Anorexia and transgenderism are both variants of dysphoria. Why treat only one as a mental illness and the other as a justification for surgery and hormone experimentation before the child is even a legal adult able to make these decisions without mom & dad?

    2. Lauren, again, what exactly is the problem we are solving for?

      Last year‘s transgendered sports bill from Rep. Davis was an absolute waste of taxpayer dollars, given that the IHSAA had already solved the nonexistent “problem”.

      Hence, she’s going to need to tell me about all the kids in Indiana she’s worried about. Numbers and lots of them.

      Yet again, a bunch of legislators who are interested in “freedom” … as long as you agree with their religious and political beliefs.

    3. anyone who objects to this either 1. does not have kids or 2. should not be a parent.

      anyone who thinks this is political needs to get a life.

    4. Dare I say it? An argument that falls back on the word “grooming” is likely to have some issues. Despite all of the hate-filled arguments in the right-wing “news” media, LGBTQ+ matters have ZERO to do with pedophilia, and no matter what the conservative pundits might tell you, gay or transgender people are NOT “grooming” children for sexual abuse. That is one of many, many right-wing myths that have been launched with the aim of stirring up culture wars and ginning up anti-LGBTQ+ hysteria and hatred in order to win votes.

      And it is inaccurate to state that transgenderism and anorexia are both variants of dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is the term linked to being transgender. Body dysmorphia is present in some (but not all) people with anorexia. Dysphoria and dysmorphia are not the same thing, despite the similarities in the words.

      Finally, if the reporting is accurate, the bill that is the subject of this article is not addressing surgery or hormone therapy for minors at all — that is a different topic. The bill in this article, allegedly having to do with school accreditation, has to do with reporting things that students simply verbalize to teachers or other school employees. It requires schools to set up a reporting process essentially designed to “out” kids to their parents. Hard to see what that has to do with accreditation.

  3. you people are wrong. until the child is 18 the parents have every right to know what is going on. what this is is an anti-grooming law. it doesn’t say ANYTHING about making any of this illegal.

    these kids need to be protected from the likes of you!
