Daisy in the Books @daisyredwoods.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Interesting insight into this ruling. Parental rights are paramount when it gives the conservatives a chance to hurt trans kids, but when supportive parents want to be trusted to manage their child’s transition, their rights don’t count. 030
