Right, if a teacher has REASON to believe that a child is "being abused" then they are required to report, and they damn well better. And, there is good reason why teachers are not reporting parents to police and other authorities because they suspect a parent is "transphobic" or "homophobic" -- it's because that's not "abuse."
So you do condone transphobic and homophobic child abuse. Glad we got you on the record.
What in the world do you think is "reason to believe" that a child is being abused? That the parents are Christian and believe that homosexuality is a sin, and that boys shouldn't dress like girls? Because if you think that is abuse, you're out of your cotton-pickin' mind.
If you really want to go down the dark rabbit hole of examples of transphobic and homophobic child abuse, go for it. I am not going to do your homework for you.
More kids are participating in a fad.
The younger generation is more accepting of LGBTQ than older generations are. You want to force them back into the closet.
It's illustrating that an elementary school teacher has no expertise in this area, and they are not going to subvert the right of a legal guardian to decide what is best for a child.
You think all parents know what's best for their children?

Oh man, that is some seriously funny shit right there!
When you have evidence that there is a physical safety issue, as a teacher, you're required to report it to the police. Do so, if that evidence exists. If you're just going to assume any parent MIGHT not accept a child's gender identity or encourage it, and consider that abuse, then you're nuts.
Obviously I'm not being direct enough with you so let me make it clear: If a teacher has reason to believe that any form of sexual, emotional, or physical abuse is occurring in a home, they have the responsibility to report it. As I said, you want examples, go find them yourselves. They're much more heinous than you make them out to be.
