      Is this a serious reply?

      “Who from society” would be people like the child’s teachers, counselors, friends, relatives, mentors, etc.

      Funny you mention red-herrings and extremes and then go on to talk about how we’ll all be living under a Saudi-like dictatorship if teachers don’t snitch on kids to their parents about something like personal identity.

        No. Absolutely fucking not. Full stop. My child, my choices. Period. End of story? Don’t like it? Pound sand.

            When people have conversations involving making decisions concerning my child on my behalf, the actual reply is much more violent.

                This only appears to just be ramping up now. I really do think this is not a policy that any political party should be pushing, lest they find themselves the target of like minded people like myself. People wonder why homeschooling is becoming more prevalent. It’s shit like this.

                  I get the feeling I’m talking to a bot with these canned responses that don’t address my comments nor the OP. Thanks for making yourself easy to identify. See ya later!

                    This only appears to be ramping up now is my response to you saying how many times has it landed you in jail. I admit the nuance of conversation can sometimes not translate to written message very well.

                    My response to OP was that I’m not even open to conversation when it comes to my child. No one is invited to deliberate on my child’s life or the decisions I make raising them.
