Teachers are a bit unsophisticated and I’m sure would accidentally tell the parents all the time.

Since we are already splitting hairs lets get microscopic.
95% of the time a kid who is LGBTQ has parents who know. Accepting or not the conversations are happening at home.
The final 5% of the time, a kid comes from a family that is out and out homophobic. They in a moment of need tell another adult they trust, a teacher, or a councilor. Those adults are safe from repercussions keeping the gender of this child secret from their parents as a means to protect their health and safety.
Teachers may be unsophisticated, but more than ever they are charged with the task of social work for kids who have abusive or negligent parents. admit it or not, these teachers care about the well being and safety of their students. In fact, for kids under 16, they know more about the parents then you would care for. It just comes with the job.
let me ask you this?
If a kid pulls you aside at work and says don't tell my parents about my gender because I fear harm, and you know these parents are unhinged because they spam you with threats about the woke agenda through out the school year, do you tell those parents?
