March 12 is Detransition Awareness Day! Public schools—including Natick Public Schools—should celebrate it in support of these marginalized youth.
Parental Rights Natick proposes getting Detransition Awareness on the school calendar of celebrations, in the Natick Public Schools health curriculum, and infused in school culture.
Detransitioners and desisters are often bullied, threatened, ignored, and disparaged by the same people and organizations that once celebrated them as part of the LGBTQ+ community. Many detransitioners and desisters who are still part of the LGB community— including Parental Right Natick guest blogger Simon Amaya Price—continue to be ostracized and attacked for speaking out on the serious harms caused by radical gender ideology (Simon receives death threats regularly).
In the spirit of true inclusion and diversity, Natick Public Schools should celebrate and support the brave detransitioner community and bring awareness to the serious harms caused by radical gender ideology.

Here are FIVE WAYS Natick Public Schools can help students and staff recognize and help this marginalized community every year:
Have students draw or make art celebrating and supporting Detransition Awareness Day on March 12
Create and distribute pins or stickers for Detransition Awareness Day on March 12
Host a detransition awareness after-school event, such as a "Born in the Right Body" presentation by desister Simon Amaya Price and his panel of experts
Make posters or boards to put around the schools on why recognizing student detransitioners and desisters is important for safety and inclusion
Include information on detransition awareness in NPS health curriculum
BONUS IDEA: Host a workshop on Detransition Awareness as part of Natick High School's Equity Co-op held every year in March!!!
Last month, the U.S. Department of Education recognized Detransition Awareness Day by hosting a listening session with detransitioners and others fighting to protect children. The group (including Simon) included six detransitioners/desisters (young men and women who previously identified as “transgender” but have reversed their social and medical “gender transitions”); mental health, medical, and education professionals; and parents’ rights advocates.
“No teacher should attempt to persuade or coerce a student to undergo a gender transition. No parent should be lied to or prevented from knowing what is going on with their child’s mental or physical health. We stand firmly alongside parents, professionals, advocates, and especially detransitioners, who understand firsthand the damage caused by indoctrinating kids to believe that they can ever be ‘born in the wrong body.’” — Secretary of Education Linda McMahon
We need more brave parents, community members, students, and NPS staff to be the voices for the thousands of children being led down a confusing and high-risk path. We need to celebrate and support detransitioners and desisters on March 12 and all year long!
Let’s hold Natick Public Schools accountable and make sure your tax dollars are funding your child's rigorous and unbiased education, not radical indoctrination.
Contact the Natick School Committee at schoolcommittee@natickps.org, Superintendent Spash at mspash@natickps.org and your child's school principal to advocate for Detransition Awareness in Natick Public Schools.
