Transitioning kids without parental consent? Dan Andrews' School Policy

The frightening reality is that this is possible in Victoria under government policy.

Right now, the Victorian Education Department’s transgender policy says there are times when students “need to undertake gender transition without the consent of their parent/s (or carer/s), and/or without consulting medical practitioners”.


This means that a teacher can make these kinds of decisions for children instead of their parents.

The State Government's quest to indoctrinate our classrooms, parents and medical practitioners have been bypassed to make gender ideology normal in Victoria.

What is gender ideology?

Gender ideology is a set of theories popular in academic institutions used to argue our individual identity is comprised of both a “sexual orientation” and a “gender identity”. 

Its proponents tell children that they can choose their “gender identity” – “only you know whether you are a boy or a girl, no one can tell you”. Being a boy or a girl has nothing to do with your biological sex, it is determined by how you feel on the inside. This means children can choose to be a boy or a girl – or something different altogether – depending on how they feel.

Is this really happening in our schools?

The Herald Sun recently reported about a new plan to teach toddlers and preschoolers about “non-binary gender identity”, which means that not only can they choose their own gender, they can make one up.

Their “gender expression” can change, all depending on how they feel. Whether you’re a boy or a girl has nothing to do with biological facts.

According to this curriculum, children should explore “aspects of identity formation that encompass gender identity and gender expression (with a non-binary dichotomy)”.

But as a parent I can step in, can’t I?

Unfortunately, the answer in Victoria is a definite no. In fact, if your child wants to change their “gender identity” or even undergo radical transgender treatment, it is a crime to talk them out of it.

According to the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, which has the power to investigate and charge parents, “it is against the law to try to change or suppress someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity, even if they ask for help”.

These laws to criminalise “conversion therapy” actually force parents to accept their children’s desire to change biological sex and has left them fearing prosecution if they do anything to try to prevent potentially harmful and irreversible transgender treatment.

As parents, we should have the right to say no if our child comes home from school and tells us they’re no longer a boy or a girl. Or at the very least it shouldn't be crime to voice our concerns.

Where does this all end?

These laws and policies push our children in the direction of transition treatments that involve chemicals, hormones and invasive surgical practices that can leave young people sterile and rob them of the chance to have children of their own. 

The number of children admitted to the Gender Service at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital has grown from 10 in 2011 to 800 in 2021, driven in part by the state government’s laws and policies.

Many of these children are given “puberty blockers”, which are a cocktail of hormones and drugs designed to stop to onset of normal puberty so children do not enter adulthood resembling their biological sex

What do Victorians think about this?

Victorians don’t like hearing that an ideological agenda is being pushed onto their children.

Binary recently surveyed 2700 Victorians about their attitudes towards a number of transgender issues.

Overwhelmingly, Victorians oppose the gender theory indoctrination of preschoolers and toddlers, and they outright reject the transitioning of children without parental consent.

Respondents adamantly oppose schools and preschools indoctrinating children and undermining parental rights. 

As more and more Victorians learn about what is happening in their state, they are standing up and saying NO.

Hear it first hand from parents who are experiencing these laws right now.

“They need so much more than someone chopping their breasts off and putting them on testosterone.” Rachel

“My daughter needs help, but the government has passed a law that makes it so difficult for this to take place … It is hard to know how broad the law is. It seems to be saying if your child wants to take hormones and if I try to talk to her and explore other issues it be considered conversion therapy. It feels like the government is interfering in families and personal relationships.” Sarah

“I'm fearful if we say the wrong thing someone could contact Child Protection Services and accuse us of abusing her and remove her from our care.” Jane

“[Parents] should be worried about what is happening in schools, at the Royal Children's Hospital and the policies of the Department of Health. The law is highly damaging to the wellbeing of some children.” Professor of Law at the University of Queensland Patrick Parkinson.
