Specifically it features Terry Schilling who took credit for the effort in Texas to remove transgender youth from their parents' custody
This FTC workshop about kids safety online features speakers and organizations that work diligently to harm marginalized youth, especially teens who identify as LGBTQIA+.

There are families who will never be able to come back from this devastation, and many of them were in generational homes, passed down from people who bought homes in the 1970sand 80's in Altadena. All of the fires are a tragedy, but especially for those who don't have the resources to rebuild.

"The basic problem with the conservative discourse around “parents’ rights” is that it frames children as chattel—that is, as parents’ property. But children aren’t property. They’re people. And as people, they enjoy the same fundamental human rights as anyone else."

Worth noting that the 'crisis' of kids socially transitioning at school without notifying their parents was almost entirely seeded by a NYT article. Even in conservative states, this was nowhere on the legislative agenda a year ago and now it's everywhere.

Postsurgical regret among trans people is unusually low. Now, researchers are starting to ask why, and consider whether there are lessons to be learned in the way trans people are prepared for surgery that could help other patients too.
