Transgender advocates fear a bill passed by the Florida legislature will put LGBTQ+ youth at risk in the name of keeping parents more involved in decision-making. Marketed as a parental bill of rights, queer teens say the legislation, if signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis, will result in students being outed at home even if that can result in abuse. The bill passed days after a high-profile piece of legislation targeting transgender girls playing sports apparently stalled in the Florida Senate. But while grabbing fewer headlines, it may pose an even greater risk to students expressing identities at school they cannot present at home. The most concerning aspect of the legislation, especially for LGBTQ+ students, is that it would inform parents if their children access mental health services through school.
