The legislature will require public school counselors, nurses and others to tell parents if a child discloses they believe they are transgender.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama lawmakers approved sweeping legislation Thursday to outlaw gender-affirming medications for transgender kids and advanced a separate measure prohibiting early classroom instruction on sexual and gender identity, a bill critics have dubbed “Don’t Say Gay.”

“This is wrong,” Rafferty said. “Y’all sit there and campaign on family being the foundation of our nation ... but what this bill is doing is totally undermining that. It’s totally undermining family rights, health rights and access to health care.” The bill would also require school counselors, nurses and others to tell parents if a child discloses they believe they are transgender.A spokeswoman for Ivey did not immediately reply to a text message asking if the governor will sign the measure.

Republicans believe they can use 'big government' to force their Party's political beliefs on the most personal and private parts of family life. Now, they're ordering teachers to inform on their students! Vote them out before it's too late!

And what happens the first time a kid commits suicide because of the reaction they get from their parents who they weren't ready to tell? I just cannot imagine actively wanting to make any child's life more difficult or dangerous, idk wtf is wrong with these people.

What else to expect from an inbred state like Alabameee
