I think parents should be informed if the change in preferred name/gender identity is coupled with tangible and problematic behaviours (withdrawn, grades dropping, tardiness, etc.), but if we're just notifying parents based solely on the change in preferred name/gender identity doesn't that imply we think that change is negative, a problem or somehow wrong?
