Calif. teacher helps students change names, pronouns without parents’ knowledge

A California high school teacher has boldly confessed that she helps students change their gender identity — without their parents’ knowledge…“My job, which is a public service, is to protect kids,” Olivia Garrison told the New York Times about helping students socially transition at school…“Sometimes, they need protection from their own parents.”…Social transition describes the process in which a person adopts the name and pronouns that align with their gender identity, rather than the gender they were at birth.
