Cue 20 years later: ‘Why won’t my baby boy talk to meeee? He says he hates me! I don’t understand why; I was the perfect mother!’
These people have zero self-awareness.
What an awful woman.
It turns my stomach that this kid was doing exactly what I did 20+ years ago to get out of my situation (reach out to the school for counseling and help and affirmation) and the mom is going scorched earth because her right to get her own way “as a parent” trumps, in her mind, the actual health of the kid.
I mean, the kid apparently already has PTSD they were being treated for.
Thing is, kids with PTSD from a young age usually get it from their home life, you know?
And mommy dearest’s behavior going nuclear on the school for respecting the student’s wishes with name/pronouns pretty loudly suggests why PTSD might have already popped up.
I loathe authoritarian parents. They have the sheer gall to have children, and instead of treating them like people, like real human beings that they have an actual responsibility towards, they treat them like dolls made to prop up their own egos. And if their living doll does something they don’t like, no matter how trivial, their response is to try to break it. Awful, awful people.

They should simply have their child separated from them, for the child’s own sake.
“Please, call me Becky, not Rebecca”
Also these moms
Basically a version of: “Mom sues school district for secretly using child’s preferred nickname.” – Parent’s don’t own their child’s identity.
What is the standing here? How does this lady claim any form of harm?
In the US, children are treated as property and that’s where standing will come from. This is what people mean when they refer to parent’s rights.
The standing would be that the parent is legally responsible for the minor.
Public schools should not be keeping secrets from parents.
So if a child told their teacher that they were being abused at home, you think they should call the parent and tell them what the child said?
They should call the police.
I agree. Probably should keep that a secret from the parents, though, right?
They already know surely.
Your example is a crime. Hiding your child’s mental health from you, pretending you are some grand intermediary, probably should be too.
Oh. I misunderstood.
I thought I could relate to your innate desire to protect children, but you’re only worried about people fucking with other people’s “property”.
I don’t want to delve any deeper into that cesspool you call a mind.
Like we all don’t see the game you’re playing.
Clearly you dont have children. Parents have a right to know what is happening at school. Full stop.
Have a nice life.
Hopefully one day she’ll realize the damage she’s done and suffer alone for it.
Kids deserve better. I hope he makes it out and has a great life. It’s a lot easier once you’re free from a tyrannical parent.
These people are so damn unhinged it’s not even funny.
