If you’re following the issue at all, you’re probably aware that several red states have moved to outlaw medical transition for minors, and that Texas went further still — went insane, I should say — sending child welfare authorities after families who supported a child’s transition. You might also be aware of extreme moves in the other direction. In September, California passed a law giving itself jurisdiction over custody disputes involving trans-identified youths who reside legally in other states. And as The Post and, more recently, the New York Times have reported, in many cases, some schools are supporting children who socially transition (by, for example, changing their names, their gender presentation or their pronouns) without telling their parents.
