Heather Heying about the attack on parental rights

"The attack on parental rights shows up in myriad ways, both direct and indirect. In states from Indiana to Texas to Montana, parents are losing custody of their children because they dare to protect them from the fantasy propagated by the science that boys can become girls and girls can become boys. This summer following the Biden-Harris administration's sweeping new reforms of Title IX, which now explicitly provides protected status to the fantasy concept gender identity, California became the first state in the nation to allow schools to keep such information about children from their parents.
And in Minnesota, Governor Walz signed legislation allowing the courts to take temporary emergency jurisdiction of children when gender-affirming care is not forthcoming.
These are direct attacks on children, on parents, and on families. The indirect attacks, though, are no less brutal. They don't seem like attacks, but they are. A parent, usually a mother, becomes convinced that in the name of kindness and compassion and that fantasy called the science, they should advocate responsibility for their children, handed over to teachers and activists on social media who tell lies, lies like, if you don't help trans your kid, he's going to kill himself.
In fact, when your boy wakes up in the morning and says he's a girl, it is not time to embrace the fantasy. You did not just get a daughter. What you have is a boy who is exploring his identity, and it will pass if you let it. Because explore and imagine is what children do. These confused parents are being told that it is the loving thing to do to allow their children to be destroyed with drugs and surgery. Drugs and surgery, they do not need. Drugs and surgery from which they can never fully return.
Under the science that the Democrats have brought us, a technocracy masquerading as the enlightenment. Parents' fears are being played, convinced that if they don't follow the newest thing, the latest expert, advice or drug, their child will suffer. You don't want your child to suffer, do you? You do love your child. Well then do what we say and everything will be fine. Do not fall for it. Do not affirm. Do not comply. This is not the loving thing to do."
