    A list of trans kids doesn’t have to be an actual list of trans kids for the terror to work. The mere threat of such a list would be enough. The actual list could just as well be a list of kids reported by nosy neighbours or fascist teachers for “being at risk of being trans”, ie. not performing their gender as they’re expected to.

      Yeah when it comes to terrorising parents you’re absolutely right. You’re essentially leaving a lot of parents with a decision about risk, the risk of child suicide over their dysphoria vs the risk of the state involving themselves and potentially taking your child for “abuse”.

      The sinister thing about calling it child abuse is that I can absolutely see that would seep into popular consciousness over time and normalisation of the law.
