Counselors are increasingly coming under threat from local, state, and federal laws and policies that seek to insert the government’s preferred views on gender into private conversations between a counselor and clients who are minors. Counselors are facing the prospect of making a choice no American should ever have to make: speak the truth to clients knowing they might face devastating consequences, or abandon their faith in order to speak only government-approved values and perspectives.
