Keep in mind politico is owned by the German equivalent to Murdoch.
Here's a few headlines from this month of their main rag pretending to be news:
- Trans-criminals supposed to decide on prison
- Transsexual climate activist doesn't want to go to male prison
- Anger because of climate activist: Prison union sounds trans-alarm
And a bunch of other trash I am too tired to look at.

Do they not want to go to male prison because they are MtF? You're leaving out a ton of important detail here.

If you want to know more about this, here's a German article from a more reputable source:
https://www.queer.de/detail.php?article_id=46612
TL;DR: There's currently a new law proposed to significantly reduce the time, cost and effort to change your name and gender, replacing the unconstitutional one from the 70s. Guess who doesn't like this and believes cis women need to be protected from dangerous trans women, therefore manufacturing scandals to influence public opinion.

This is a debate here in Canada.

I read one article just now, but it sounds different.
The government's changes to Policy 713, the education policy on gender identity, now make it mandatory to get parental consent before using a child under 16's chosen name and pronoun âeven verbally â in class, according to Education Minister Bill Hogan.
And if a child says no to involving their parents, Hogan said they should be directed to a school psychologist or social worker to come up with a plan to do so.
This is reasonable IMO. If I'm reading this correctly, the children aren't being forcibly outed. Also I believe conversion therapy is illegal now, so in theory, this would be healthy.Frankly, I would want children to have access to supportive parents OR qualified social workers.EDIT: It's not different that the US if you read other articles

Parents are being asked by schools, communities with no oublic services, and the car-centric environment to be absolutely obsessed with their kids. 24/7 cheaufers. It's horrid for children. And then the teachers and school admins aren't even trustworthy, they just happily email your parents everything you say to them. The overton window has shifted such that the opinion that your children are your property is the liberal take in America, meanwhile in Europe you can drink, drive, and fuck before you've even graduated - even though the housing crisis does prevent living life to the fullest.

While I didn't read the politico article, the California Attorney General's press release regarding this lawsuit is informative.
"The lawsuit also asserts this the Boardâs plain motivations in adopting the policy were to create and harbor animosity, discrimination, and prejudice towards transgender and gender-nonconforming students, without any compelling reason to do so, as evidenced by statements made during the Boardâs hearing. In discussing the policy before its passage, board members made a number of statements describing students who are transgender or gender-nonconforming as suffering from a âmental illnessâ or âperversionâ, or as being a threat to the integrity of the nation and the family. The Board President went so far as to state that transgender and gender nonbinary individuals needed ânon-affirmingâ parental actions so that they could âget better.â"
Its wonderful to hear some good news these days! Thanks!
