They really are coming for your children.
(thepostmillennial.com)https://thepostmillennial.com/indiana-parents-lose-custody-after-court-rules-not-affirming-childs-gender-identity-is-abuseIn Indiana - a fairly conservative state.
This is a situation where I would call people up (actually, I would expect people to call and offer), and we'd get a large group together, and go down to the DCS office and make some demands - first that they produce my child, and second that they never come to my house (or any of our houses) again.
There's never been a clearer case for the last box in my mind. If the State has reached the point where they are willing to take your children from you to sterilize them and do other harm, then what's the case for even continuing to live if you're not going to fight? They are literally killing your future.
"Finally, we conclude that the trial court’s temporary restriction on the discussion of Child’s transgender identity outside of family therapy does not violate the Parents’ free speech rights. Therefore, we affirm the Dispositional Order..."
This is also extremely fucky. "You can't talk about your child's transgender without a (((therapist))) present." Naturally, the only current accepted therapy for trans is full-on acceptance and promotion of the identity of the opposite sex (which leads to sterilization, mastectomies, etc.). So effectively, you can't affirm your son's true identity (of being a boy... a boy that's too skinny at that), but that's somehow "not a violation of free speech."
This is why local communities are so important. Know your neighbors, get a network.
