As somebody in a conservative county with kids in school, that is the point to them. They frame it as “parent’s rights” but the purpose is to try to out closeted Trans kids to their parents so the parents will “fix it”. To them it is all upside. The kids with supportive parents? They consider them a lost cause anyways. The kids with unsupportive parents they hope they can “fix”, or at least force them to hide it.
