The movement that helped end Roe is embracing a political strategy that wraps the demonization of trans people in the innocuous-sounding catchphrase “parental rights.”

9 times out of 10 if a child is being abused it is by their parents. Think about that every time these people talk about their right to own their kids. I will vote for the first person who suggests a list of rights for children from their parents. I say this as a parent of two.
A bill of rights for kids is desperately needed in the US.
So much this. Think of it in terms of child custody in family court, parents have and deserve NO rights, the only thing that matters is the best interests of the children. If that’s with mom and/or dad great, if not, so be it. Earn the privilege of your kids, or they will grow up and tell you to F off.
(P.s. you sound like a great parent, thank you for making the world a better place).
All the time I remind my fellow parents, and myself, that we are guides and not wardens. We show the path, we walk the path, and hope they follow.
