Should parents lose custody for intentionally misgendering their child?

Yes

No, instead parents should lose custody if they refuse to use the correct sex-based pronouns on their child

Not solely for that reason, only if it's part of a sustained pattern of behaviour that is harmful to the child

Consistently discriminating your own child would be in violation of hate speech laws in the ideal society. And possibly a form of domestic abuse. It is only tolerated up to a point, upon which the child should have the final decision on if they no longer wish to be with their parents.

If a social worker, gender therapist and psychologist all agree the child is being mentally and emotionally abused then yes.

No because it would be hard to enforce.

No, but social services should intervene.

No, but have social services intervene

No, but they should face intervention from social services

You are born either a girl or boy biologically

Yes, if they raise the child any gender other than that which they were assigned at birth; as children cannot be transgender until at least after puberty.

It should be up to the child. They are the one being affected, so the choice, and power of what happens to them, should rest WITH them, not their parents nor a governmental power.

Whatever their biological sex is, is what they should be referred to as. Thinking you are in the wrong body is a mental condition.

No, but they should be required to undergo acceptance training if it is done repeatedly and not accidentally but maliciously

It depends on the severity of the case. If it is considered abuse by a court then the nessicary actions should be taken place. And the same can be said for more mild cases.

If it proves a course of harassment, neglect, abuse or other such category that would render such loss of custody appropriate

only if they do it repeatedly for months and months, and if the child agrees

Shouldn’t lose custody but should have some safeguarding checks and regular input from child services

Yes if the child is incurring harm and the parents are unwilling to change their behaviour

Yes, as this can be considered bullying and therefore possibly abusive behaviour

Yes, but only if the parent/parents actions are endangering the child

Yes, If it is shown to be intentional and continuous

Parents should be given resources to understand the change

Parents should be provided support and resources to understand/ support their childeen

Parents should be provided with support to understand what there child is experiencing so that they can better support them and re-learn their discriminatory habits

No, but they should be safety netted by social services to make sure they're not causing harm.

No but there should be something done to make them learn/not discriminate

Yes, if they try to change their childs gender from what it was born as

No, but add support networks for children wanting to disown parents who repeatedly abuse intentional misgendering

It can be abuse

only 2 genders

Yes, but only if it is deliberate and continuous

No, it would be difficult to prove intention.

No, but also it would be very hard to prove intention.

No, but it should be considered a form of neglect and/or abuse.

Only in cases where it is abusive.

Yes, but only in cases where it would border on or be considered abusive.

No. Put them on trial and make them take a course that teaches them the importance of pronouns. If they continue then yes

It should be treated on a case-by-case basis, as it is a complex basis. a 4 year old child should not have their parents lose custody of them. however a 17 year old who is educated on the topic and is dealing with transphobia, could have a case to have their parents lose custody

no, but if its a constant then they should have to meet with social services to see if the child is being supported as needed

No, put support should be provided for the child and parents and the child should have an advocate

No unless the child refers themselves to social services and education about how this could be emotionally abusive to the child should be given

Yes, but only in cruel or neglectful circumstances.

Children should have the right to say if they feel unsafe due to intentional misgendering by their parents, and in that case the right to custody should be questioned and potentially lost depending on the severity and how long it has been going on for.

Each case must be judged separately if it was for the child’s welfare or the parents ego

Depends on full context

Yes if it causes severe distress to the child

No but the parents should have childrens services involved as well as a mental health assessment and they should be educated on the psychological damage they could cause if they continued.

No, but this shouldn't be used as a form of abuse against a child.

No, but the state should publish more science-based information on the long-term psychological harms.

No, but they should be educated in the matter and barred from prohibiting their child to express themselves in certain ways

No, but if part of a pattern of bullying and shaming for their gender identity, it should be monitored closely.

I don't think they should loose custody but I think parents should be educated more, as i think there is enough children in care homes needing loving homes.

no if I kid is born a girl then its female with she her pronouns vice Versa if its a male but I don't agree with trans or choosing pronouns. parents should be able to call their kid wha its born as

Yes, but only if the child completely understands the consequences of this action and the parents refuse to stop

Dependant on extent. Are they deliberately doing so due to a difference in opinon? Are they intentionally denying possibly life saving gender-afirming surgery? are they at risk of hate criming, assulting or acting maliciously towards their child if they continue living together? Does the child feel safe?

If parents force their child to change gender they should be sectioned and put in a mental asylum. If you are born a male you are a male.

this is no one's policy, this isn't a mainstream policy suggestion, this is just reactionary culture war nonsense. parents should support their children's gender identities.

The parents shouldn't lose custody if they're gendering their child as the gender that they were born.

No they shouldn't. However some training would be needed for future parents about how to deal with this situation. Parents will eventually come round after speaking about it enough.

This is a question for parents of children to answer. As I never had any, my views upon this subject are irrelevant,

If the child feels unsafe there then they should lose custody, I think it should be the child's choice

Complicated, In a way it's not very serious but it could also be considered a form of phsycological abuse if done purposefully and frequently.

Yes, if their designation is in conflict with both the biological truth and the desire of the child.

Only if it is undeniable that the parent is using such a tactic to pressure their child into a situation they are not comfortable with

The child will be permitted to challenge parental custody in this case, however, it should not be mandated, for a child's love for their parents may be more passionate than their allegiance to their gender identity.

no, but only if the child is still safe, if the misgendering could lead to violence or abuse for the child then yes.

It can be a factor but is highly dependent on the individual situation, how many times it has happened, and importantly how the child feels about it

Parents should engage in therapy to understand and better support their children first. An overall assessment should be made concerning all factors (including the child’s wishes) before a child is removed.

No, as long as the parents are providing adequate care in all other ways. As a trans supporter, losing custody for that reason alone is a bit extreme.

Yes it could be abusive but it should be paired with other acts. If they are misgendering their child its likely they are doing other negative abusive things too and it should be investigated.

They should if the child is too young to make that decision on their own. The parent, carer or guardian should be assessed to ensure the child isn't being mis-gendered against their own will.

No unless they follow it up by suggesting conversion therapy of there is a threat to the mental or physical health of the child.

No, but there should be a warning or CPS supervision

No, but they should be examined to see if there are any other issues

Only if it is done repeatedly in order to torment or cause suffering to the child

Yes, but only if there is proof that it is a continual issue

This is a bit too specific - there should be principles applied which are relevant for a parent to loose custody regarding safety and abuse it should depend if it falls under that. The car system is no joke or happy alternative

Not instantly, however they should be under investigation to make sure the child is safe and happy in the living space.

if it is having an effect on the childs mental health

Yes, but only if this forms part of a wider pattern of emotional abuse as a result of the child’s gender identity and where steps have been taken to attempt to address this.

No I don't think they should lose custody but I think there should be guidelines set where parents can not influence that decision.

They should be spoken to first about the mental effects this will have on their child, If they continue then further action should be taken to protect the childs wellbeing

Not if it is only done once or twice, but the parents should have to go through court-mandated lessons and the child should have the right to take them to court

If they aren’t causing actual physical or mental harm over a period of time then this is an overreach of state powers.

No, but it should be a consideration for which parent receives custody in a divorce case

Depends on the way the misgendering is handled. If it is simply a case of them accidentally misgendering so often without malice, no. If it is categoric bullying and verbal/psychological bullying, then yes.

No, only if they betray that child over their identity or sexuality, and that is coming from a person who believes in traditional and biological sex reality…

If this misgendering poses harm and threat to the child then yes

No, but they should be referred to social services

No, however if it is a repeated behaviour that has demonstrably impacted a child’s welfare, then yes.

Only, and even then it's a stretch, if it's literal child abuse and done consistently to harm their child with malicious intent

No, but if the issue is causing success conflict between parent(s) and child, they should be referred to a family therapist specialising in the topic.

No but require family therapy sessions for the parent to understand that their child is transgender. If they do not commit to respecting and understanding their child then this should act as a negative on how much custody they should have.

I think it's wrong, but no they shouldn't. The only time they ahould be able to lose custody is, say, the parents are in the middle of a custody battle after a divorce. Or if the child has a safe place to go to.

No. But if the issue is causing conflict, there should be meeting with a family therapist with knowledge about the topic to try resolve it.

If the pronouns being used weren't of their child's original sex and they didn't turn trans it should be illegal but custody loss should be temporary.

Not lose custody but attend classes on gender equality
