If you thought it would just be about biological boys in girls' bathrooms, you were naïve. If you think it's primarily about biological boys playing girls' sports, you're still not getting it. The core of the debate over gender identity in schools is this: Should school staff have the power to rename and re-sex children without parental notification or consent?

With virtually no public discussion or debate, the default answer to this question is rapidly becoming, "yes." Due partly to the effects of an Obama-era federal "Dear Colleague" letter, partly due to the efforts of the LGBTQIA+ lobby, and partly due to the pervasive influence of teachers' unions, so-called "gender support plans" have become de rigueur in American public schools. These plans require staff and students to conform to a child's requests for "social transition"—typically entailing a new name, new pronouns, bathroom access, and locker room access. These plans then leave it up to the student to determine whether his or her parents are clued in. Teachers can thus be required to call Harry "Sally" in school and punish students who don't refer to Harry as "her," even as they call Harry "Harry" when talking to parents about his grades.

A recent report by Parents Defending Education, a parental rights watchdog nonprofit, found that nearly 6,000 schools have these policies on the books. But it must be stressed that this study was non-exhaustive, and thus almost certainly dramatically understates the true extent of the policies' proliferation. Entire states, such as California, have adopted secret social transition requirements, and countless school districts have adopted these policies sub rosa. What's more, reading between the lines of its proposed Title IX regulation, the Biden administration appears intent on finishing what the Obama administration started: Every school district taking federal funds will be pressured to implement secret social transition.

Why? The dubious rationale of the LGBTQIA+ lobby is: If we don't "socially affirm" kids, they will kill themselves. And if we clue parents in, we'd be putting these children in potentially grave danger.
