🟡 Medium · Speech3 December 2025 · 198 words
Failing to affirm a child's transgender identity is not sufficient grounds for child removal.
Clarification provided: lack of transgender affirmation alone does not warrant child removal.
“"Failing to affirm a child's transgender identity is not in itself sufficient rationale to justify a child entering care."”
