The hypocrisy of those who claim to care for trans kids

Most organisations that interact with children claim to care for them. That often involves a legal duty of care - in fact, laws in my home state compel certain people (doctors, for instance) to report suspicions of child abuse. 

Given that, why are local Councils not reporting death threats by right wing extremists against LGBTIQA+ children? 

This report includes: 

“Their goal is to have events cancelled and to push queer folk back into the closet. Their tactics have included threats to murder children, physical intimidation, and close coordination between groups such as neo-n___is and the religious right.”

I have raised this repeatedly with MPs and not received even an acknowledgement of the issue, so ... what next? 

It is bad enough that the warped characters of those making the threats try to justify their actions as being concerns about children - which is clearly not, given they are acting against accepted medical advice but to also have inaction from people who could reasonably be expected to be genuinely caring is disheartening. 

It leaves TGD people of all ages feeling abandoned in the face of a genocidal onslaught. 

Some state MPs and governments are exemplary in their support, but the silence of medical experts, the complicity of mainstream media, and the vapid responses of some organisational heads (I won’t call them leaders) leave me wondering if social media comments to the effect that corporations (and local governments are largely organised on a corporate model) are disingenuously capitalising on what they perceive to be a fad, rather than being genuine about DEI, are true - or at least have some validity.
