  4. 0:06know this is important if you're keeping
  5. 0:08up with all 73 genders then you need to
  6. 0:11be able to distinguish them
  7. 0:14and I know a lot of people are asking
  8. 0:16hey Dan what's the difference between a
  9. 0:19paraboy and a demi boy how did you know
  10. 0:21I was going to ask you that that's a lot
  11. 0:23of people are asking I can't even
  12. 0:24mention five genders
  13. 0:26yeah I don't know so uh take out your
  14. 0:30notebooks and and here's a distillation
  15. 0:32of the difference between a paraboy and
  16. 0:36a demi boy
  17. 0:38what's the what's the what's up
  18. 0:43[Music]
  19. 0:46para Boy versus
  20. 0:49Danny Boy
  21. 0:52people who identify as perigender feel
  22. 0:55as though their gender is made up of a
  23. 0:57dominant gender and a minor gender or
  24. 0:59genders and people who identify as
  25. 1:02paraboy feel as though their dominant
  26. 1:04gender is male pull their minor gender
  27. 1:08could be any gender and genders but
  28. 1:11their dominant is male versus people who
  29. 1:14identify as Debbie boy who feel as
  30. 1:17though part of their gender is male and
  31. 1:19the other part could be any or multiple
  32. 1:22genders
  33. 1:23between Parable and dummy boy is people
  34. 1:27who identify as paraboy know that their
  35. 1:30dominant gender is male allow people who
  36. 1:33identify as Demi boy feel as though
  37. 1:35their gender is partly male people who
  38. 1:37identify as Demi boy may feel that part
  39. 1:40of their gender is male but it doesn't
  40. 1:42necessarily mean that it is the dominant
  41. 1:45gender versus people who are paraboy who
  42. 1:48know that their dominant gender is male
  43. 1:50not every parent boy and Demi boy are
  44. 1:53the same as other Perry boys and Demi
  45. 1:56boys

  55. 2:21I'm sure he will be soon enough yeah
  56. 2:23paraboy versus Demi boy if you're trying
  57. 2:25to keep up with all 73 genders
  58. 2:28uh and this is what you need to know
  59. 2:30because
  60. 2:32you're not going to be looped in if
  61. 2:34you're a parent
  62. 2:35at least that's the attitude of
  63. 2:38so many school districts so many
  64. 2:40administrators so many teachers and we
  65. 2:43know this is particularly pronounced in
  66. 2:45California because of those audio tapes
  67. 2:47that Abigail schreier was sent of a
  68. 2:50California Teachers Association meeting
  69. 2:52a couple of years ago where teachers
  70. 2:54were specifically talking about how to
  71. 2:57work around parents who are not on board
  72. 3:00with their child having
  73. 3:04one gender at school and another gender
  74. 3:07at home or or working on a new gender at
  75. 3:11school with the help of teachers and
  76. 3:14staff and keeping this information from
  77. 3:17parents that you're referring to your
  78. 3:18child their child by a different name or
  79. 3:21a different gender when they're in
  80. 3:24school
  81. 3:24well that's exactly what happened to
  82. 3:27Aurora Regino
  83. 3:29and she is now suing her child's School
  84. 3:31District she's a California mom and
  85. 3:34she's suing her child's school district
  86. 3:35for allegedly transitioning her 11 year
  87. 3:37old's gender in secret doing exactly
  88. 3:40what I suggested they do doing exactly
  89. 3:43what they suggested they would do on
  90. 3:45those tapes that Abigail schreier made
  91. 3:47public a couple of years ago Aurora
  92. 3:49Regina joins us now miss Regino thanks
  93. 3:52so much for joining us appreciate it
  94. 3:54hi thank you thank you for having me so
  95. 3:57uh tell us the story that of what
  96. 3:59happened with your child
  97. 4:02well um
  98. 4:04she was going to elementary school
  99. 4:07um uh here in California in Northern
  100. 4:10California at a school called Sierra
  101. 4:12View
  102. 4:12and she had
  103. 4:15um
  104. 4:16some confusion over her sexuality and
  105. 4:20voiced it to the school counselor she's
  106. 4:24ahead of what they call the wellness
  107. 4:25center I'm at the school and uh that day
  108. 4:30that she opened up to the counselor the
  109. 4:32counselor walked her to class
  110. 4:34and asked her if she would like to
  111. 4:36change her pronouns in class and that
  112. 4:38she would speak to her teacher and have
  113. 4:40that done for her
  114. 4:42that day
  115. 4:44okay so and then and that ostensibly
  116. 4:47happened and how did you find out about
  117. 4:50it yeah well that's really kind of the
  118. 4:54interesting thing because you know they
  119. 4:56they kind of the school district is
  120. 4:59saying that they are unable to let
  121. 5:02parents know unless the child tells them
  122. 5:06that they can let parents know well in
  123. 5:08fact this this counselor was having
  124. 5:10one-on-one meetings with my child that I
  125. 5:13did not know of and during these
  126. 5:16one-on-one meetings after they
  127. 5:18transitioned my daughter at school to a
  128. 5:20boy without my knowledge she did tell
  129. 5:22the counselor that she wanted to tell me
  130. 5:24and the counselor uh
  131. 5:28just kind of disregarded or just ignored
  132. 5:31her request and was trying to encourage
  133. 5:34her to come out to other people first
  134. 5:38and not help her try to come out to her
  135. 5:41to her mother and her family so my my
  136. 5:45daughter told my my mother which my
  137. 5:48mother told me and that's how I found
  138. 5:50out that she was you know a boy at
  139. 5:54school and she was still a
  140. 5:57a girl at home how long was that going
  141. 5:59on the the boy at school girl at home
  142. 6:01before you knew
  143. 6:03so
  144. 6:04um once I you know had reached out and
  145. 6:06talked to the counselor about when the
  146. 6:09initial
  147. 6:10um coming out was to her I think she
  148. 6:12told me it was about the middle of
  149. 6:14February and then
  150. 6:17um I found out
  151. 6:18at the beginning of April so I would say
  152. 6:21you know a couple months couple months
  153. 6:23and then when you found this out and you
  154. 6:26went to the school to talk to the
  155. 6:30counselor and or administrators what did
  156. 6:32they say to you
  157. 6:34you know that's kind of um eye-opening
  158. 6:38for me too I guess I you know very naive
  159. 6:40and I just thought well you know the
  160. 6:42fact that the counselor did this just so
  161. 6:44quickly and behind my back that you know
  162. 6:46our administrators would think that that
  163. 6:49was wrong and they wouldn't want that
  164. 6:52for the children of the district
  165. 6:54especially at such a young age
  166. 6:56um to my surprise uh none of them really
  167. 6:59wanted to hear much of what happened and
  168. 7:02they just wanted to tell me that this
  169. 7:04was law they didn't want to hear the
  170. 7:06story of how quick it was or really you
  171. 7:09know even any of the specifics they
  172. 7:11wanted to go straight to bullying me and
  173. 7:14telling me that there's nothing I can do
  174. 7:16and that this is the law so what was
  175. 7:18your daughter's I mean did you notice a
  176. 7:20change in your daughter's attitude or
  177. 7:22behavior
  178. 7:24during that time you know she
  179. 7:25transitioned at school but not at home
  180. 7:28so there was a difference in um her
  181. 7:31style and behavior our family had been
  182. 7:35through quite a bit of trauma within the
  183. 7:38last year we had um my father died and
  184. 7:41then six months later I was diagnosed
  185. 7:43with breast cancer and I'm a single mom
  186. 7:45of my two young children so I she
  187. 7:48definitely was going through some
  188. 7:50distress and during this change
  189. 7:53um I was also studying for state boards
  190. 7:56to be a nurse so our family had a lot of
  191. 7:59let's say turmoil at that time you know
  192. 8:02nothing in that was you know
  193. 8:04extremely uh rare or but it was a hard
  194. 8:08time for our family let's just say and
  195. 8:10so I see she she did was she was kind of
  196. 8:13developing like a a different style
  197. 8:15which I was kind of thought was
  198. 8:18different and she wasn't wearing her
  199. 8:20cute little sweaters that she normally
  200. 8:22wore she always identified you know if
  201. 8:25you were to pick like male or female she
  202. 8:27always was very girly even at a very
  203. 8:29young age so the change in wanting to
  204. 8:32wear sweat supposed to like cute jeans
  205. 8:34and sweaters was a little different for
  206. 8:37me and I asked her about it but then I
  207. 8:39also you know she had just started
  208. 8:40puberty and you know I was letting her
  209. 8:44as long as it was appropriate you know
  210. 8:46attire letting her being able to be an
  211. 8:48individual and wear what she liked as
  212. 8:50well so
  213. 8:52um and she was sleeping a lot during
  214. 8:53that time and so I would you know I
  215. 8:55would talk to her and she would just say
  216. 8:57I think I'm growing and mind you it was
  217. 8:59kind of a short little time and like I
  218. 9:02said I was a little preoccupied stating
  219. 9:05for those studying for those boards so
  220. 9:07it was just a very confusing time for
  221. 9:10our family in general but I never
  222. 9:12thought in a million years that the
  223. 9:15school district would transition her
  224. 9:16without my knowledge I thought if
  225. 9:18there's something significant that was
  226. 9:20going on with my child at school they
  227. 9:22would reach out to me in some way and in
  228. 9:24fact um when I went in for the
  229. 9:26parent-teacher conference I talked to
  230. 9:28her teacher specifically and I said look
  231. 9:30you know our family has gone through
  232. 9:32these you know hardships this year
  233. 9:35um the death of my dad and me having
  234. 9:37cancer if you see any changes with my
  235. 9:41daughter at school please reach out to
  236. 9:43me because you know I am not here with
  237. 9:46her at school and if she's displaying
  238. 9:49any sort of distress please let me know
  239. 9:52and
  240. 9:53um they didn't do anything at all do you
  241. 9:57think this is do they do they have like
  242. 9:59some idea that you wouldn't be
  243. 10:01supportive and or is this just from your
  244. 10:05Intuition or maybe understanding that
  245. 10:07this is just policy that just they just
  246. 10:09do this regardless of whether they think
  247. 10:12the parent is on board or not
  248. 10:14well you know I actually asked the
  249. 10:17counselor that specific question I said
  250. 10:19why wouldn't you let me know like why
  251. 10:21wouldn't you let me know what's going on
  252. 10:22with my child like why why in your
  253. 10:25professional opinion think that this was
  254. 10:27the best way to go
  255. 10:29um with her and wanting to transition
  256. 10:32um and she said well I've let parents
  257. 10:34know in the past and it didn't go well
  258. 10:37oh my god of course yeah of course so
  259. 10:41just avoid the parents so we could solve
  260. 10:43that problem that's no that's easy
  261. 10:45enough
  262. 10:46um do you know do you want I think go
  263. 10:48ahead I think the biggest thing for me
  264. 10:50was
  265. 10:51um that she was going through all this
  266. 10:52she was transitioned at school by her
  267. 10:54without her family support and um not to
  268. 10:58say I wouldn't support her because I
  269. 10:59would I probably wouldn't have done it
  270. 11:01immediately because she had never
  271. 11:03displayed
  272. 11:04um any sort of confusion with their
  273. 11:06sexuality for any length of time but if
  274. 11:09it continued I would definitely support
  275. 11:11her and I would give her the tools to
  276. 11:14help
  277. 11:15um her go through that change at school
  278. 11:18let's say The Bullying that the
  279. 11:20transgender Community you know
  280. 11:22constantly you know cries out and
  281. 11:24they're you know saying oh this is the
  282. 11:26reason why we need all these laws in
  283. 11:28place because we're bullied and all this
  284. 11:30stuff well my daughter went through all
  285. 11:32that by herself the school district
  286. 11:34transitioned her and just left her to
  287. 11:37figure it all out on her own as 11 year
  288. 11:39old young girl
  289. 11:41and nobody was around to help her and
  290. 11:44support her she was eating lunch by
  291. 11:46herself in the library which she was
  292. 11:48always a very social happy child before
  293. 11:50that would never have done that she was
  294. 11:53going into the school office and now was
  295. 11:55outed these administrators in the office
  296. 11:57were calling her by a boy name and her
  297. 11:59new you know pronouns and she's thinking
  298. 12:01how did they even know it I didn't tell
  299. 12:03them you know they basically outed her
  300. 12:06publicly with everybody except letting
  301. 12:08her own family know I'm not sure she's a
  302. 12:11mascot for them what um uh what where is
  303. 12:13she now in terms of all this your
  304. 12:16daughter
  305. 12:21you know she's doing well and she has
  306. 12:25gotten back into her regular bubbly
  307. 12:28happy self again she's not sleeping all
  308. 12:31the time she
  309. 12:33um like we look back at pictures even
  310. 12:35during that time and she kind of just
  311. 12:36looked like a deer in a headlight like
  312. 12:38her eyes were just kind of like wide
  313. 12:40open very confused I mean I think you
  314. 12:44can think about how confusing that would
  315. 12:46be and for a young child to be one thing
  316. 12:50at school and something totally
  317. 12:52different at home
  318. 12:54it must be it was totally confusing for
  319. 12:57her in fact it was it was damaging to a
  320. 13:00young child that was in distress because
  321. 13:02of the the situation that happened what
  322. 13:05was going on at home you know with our
  323. 13:07family and they really made wounds that
  324. 13:11she had even deeper did they um attempt
  325. 13:15or talk about putting her on puberty
  326. 13:17blockers or anything like that to
  327. 13:19facilitate a further transition
  328. 13:22um she said the counselor was talking to
  329. 13:24her about support groups outside of
  330. 13:27school the local one here is called
  331. 13:30Stonewall Alliance and how she could
  332. 13:33reach out to them and get
  333. 13:37um a breast finder to bind her breasts
  334. 13:40to help with the transition she also
  335. 13:42brought up to my daughter about Top
  336. 13:44surgery
  337. 13:46my 11 year old daughter yes unbelievable
  338. 13:50um well I don't I don't remember she did
  339. 13:52not say anything about puberty blockers
  340. 13:55um but she did she did bring up those
  341. 13:57things with my daughter without some
  342. 13:59knowledge skipping ahead yeah Top
  343. 14:01surgery skipping ahead right past the
  344. 14:02POV blockers
  345. 14:04um the um the other parents in the
  346. 14:06school you know parents of other kids in
  347. 14:08the school that you know do they know
  348. 14:11that this was the school policy have you
  349. 14:12had conversations with other parents
  350. 14:15you know
  351. 14:17I didn't realize this was the policy
  352. 14:19when everything first happened I really
  353. 14:21thought that this counselor did an
  354. 14:24overreach and the school district would
  355. 14:27want to know and stop this from
  356. 14:29happening it wasn't until
  357. 14:32um my meeting with the superintendent
  358. 14:36that that they were hard-nosed that this
  359. 14:39was a law it you know they they were
  360. 14:42very misleading during you know some of
  361. 14:45our conversations obviously my first
  362. 14:47conversation with the principal and even
  363. 14:49the head of the elementary schools um
  364. 14:51Ted Sullivan they were very much like
  365. 14:54this is the law you know what do you
  366. 14:56want us to do break the law kind of
  367. 14:57thing and then I met with um an
  368. 14:59individual which is the assistant
  369. 15:01superintendent of our district Jay
  370. 15:03Marshawn and he was you know
  371. 15:06um
  372. 15:06misleading and the fact where he was he
  373. 15:09was the first one I felt like actually
  374. 15:11listened to my daughter's story and what
  375. 15:14happened and was even listening like
  376. 15:16well what do you you know he would say
  377. 15:18things kind of like well what would you
  378. 15:19think we should do and I'm like bring
  379. 15:21the parents in unless you have reason to
  380. 15:24believe that they're gonna harm the
  381. 15:26child like why would you automatically
  382. 15:28go to straight to hiding it from the
  383. 15:30family you're actually damaging the
  384. 15:32child right they're harming the child
  385. 15:35um but by protect I mean it's just
  386. 15:37everything's upside down obviously but
  387. 15:39but other parents like like parents of
  388. 15:41other students do they know about this
  389. 15:43or do they do now because of your story
  390. 15:45they do now they do now they do know I I
  391. 15:48really during the process I kind of kept
  392. 15:50it within my circle and within my close
  393. 15:52friends there were some people that knew
  394. 15:54but I really wanted the district to do
  395. 15:56the right thing I wasn't looking to you
  396. 15:59know have to
