      If Jimmy is now going by Cindy, that’s a social cue of transitioning.

      You say I’m using hyperbole in the same comment as this. You do know it’s possible to question gender without changing your name, right?

      I did use hyperbole to make my point, but only in how bluntly it would be said. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say there are shitty, but not abusive enough to lose their kids, parents out there, and I do think there are kids out there who would rather ask questions of other adults in their lives. I am making this argument about the edge cases, because I think the argument “this will only fuck over a small percentage of people” is a shit take. So is “teachers are government employees who should act as interchangable robots that kids can’t trust or confide in.”
