Why would a kid come out to a teacher when they didn't tell their parent?

Only reason I can think of is because the kid is afraid of their parents. Why would that be?

So this is all about parents wanting to beat the trans out of their kids. This is about enabling child abuse.

Of course kids aren't that stupid. They'll know that they now have to keep these kinds of things from their teachers the same as they're keeping it from their parents.

It'll just make kids not trust school staff anymore. Child abuse will be under reported. Child molestation will be under reported. Kids will be less willing to talk to guidance counsellors. Teenage suicide rates will increase.

Blaine Higgs is the biggest enabler of child abuse, child molestation, child suicide in all of Canada right now.

Seen this second hand via my partner who's a teacher. The parents eventually found out and suddenly the kid wasn't trans anymore. Can't imagine why that would be.
