Moms For Liberty Goes All In On Transphobia
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON ― Hundreds of mostly white women gathered at a swanky downtown hotel to hear prominent conservative speakers and strategize with other moms about how to spread their message across the country. “I think the federal government pushing child abuse really concerns American parents,” Justice said when asked why there was so much focus on trans issues at the summit. “We’re getting calls from parents saying this is happening at our school,” claimed Matt Sharp, senior counselor at Alliance Defending Freedom, a right-wing legal group. The panelists from Alliance Defending Freedom told attendees they should push their legislators to submit bills that would uphold parental rights and make it illegal for schools to affirm a child’s gender transition without parental consent — and that would allow parents whose rights were violated to sue schools and other government employees. Later, at a panel that was expressly about “secret social transitions,” two mothers talked about finding out that their children’s schools were letting them transition without notifying their parents.
