- Some parents are just bigots. Some are brainwashed by religion. Some are just afraid and/or angry about anything they don't understand. If a kid isn't telling their parents, there is probably a VERY good reason. Kids get beaten. Kids get kicked out of their homes. Kids get sent to conversion camps. Parents can be just as terrible as anyone else.
  
  It may be that the child is asking their friends to use a different name and pronouns at school
  And the reason it’s generally advised not to bring into a parent teacher conference is that some of these children are keeping it from their parents due to reasonable fear of abuse.
- Some children can't or don't trust their parents to tell them.
- You can be trans without transitioning. Got to start somewhere.
