I don't think it is considered "old timey feelings" as a young girl who is told that she is going to bleed every month and how she needs to handle it. You may be comfortable with it--but most young girls need to be encouraged and helped through this. Sharing the room with boys is one more factor to make them uncomfortable.

It's old-timey to think that (a) this would be the first time she's hearing about it and (b) that it's anything to feel embarrassed about. Making it a taboo subject perpetuates the unnecessary uncomfortableness.

Separating the sexes for instruction does not mean it is "taboo." It is only common sense.

It absolutely perpetuates the “taboo” by separating by gender. It’s part of the oppressive legacy of misogyny.

I don't think you understand the meaning of misogyny.. To me, as a woman, forcing girls to share space with boys on such a personal level is the very definition of misogyny. It serves no purpose. No one has yet explained why they want to do this--except Dr. Reid, who said it is to "keep students safe."
This is the very opposite of keeping kids safe. It is exposing them to discomfort on what is a very emotional issue to most.

Misogyny is making girls feel like they have to hide their very normal bodily functions.

Parents are causing the discomfort by treating it like a taboo subject.

Out of step opinion.

Facts.

Send the girls out to the period hut. Send the girls to another classroom because their normal bodily functions are a shameful topic.

My personal “issue” is that menstruation shouldn’t be a taboo subject? Sure. I’ll take that.

My personal issue is that girls should learn about menstruation among other girls. Make it as comfortable as possible. That does not make it taboo, it creates baby steps. There are so many things to learn about the process. It is the kind thing to do. I suspect your issue is really something else since you seem hell bent on having biological boys share the experience with the girls.

Why should girls have to endure this? Also why should boys have to endure learning about some of the stuff they’ll go through in mixed rooms too. It is just very uncomfortable

My issue is with people who cling to old-timey rules around gender. Give kids a little credit. If you don’t make it a taboo subject, it won’t be an uncomfortable topic. There is no need to separate genders for sex ed.

Stop trying to impose your radical trans agenda on every aspect of school life. There is overwhelming public support for keeping the two genders apart for purposes of sex education.

And throwing the sexes together will make it great? Really? Answer: it will make it worse. But, I think you know that. You have some other reason.

As I said earlier, I don't feel that strongly about it. Just that it's not a big deal to combine them.

There will be backlash if it happens because there are so many prudish families with old-timey feelings about biology and gender and they would prefer perpetuate those feelings and constructs.

I suspect your issue is really something else since you seem hell bent on having biological boys share the experience with the girls.

Seems like you are obsessed with “safe spaces”. Guessing that is coming from some sort of trauma.

My issue is with people who cling to old-timey rules around gender. Give kids a little credit. If you don’t make it a taboo subject, it won’t be an uncomfortable topic. There is no need to separate genders for sex ed.

Stop trying to impose your radical trans agenda on every aspect of school life. There is overwhelming public support for keeping the two genders apart for purposes of sex education.

There you go projecting again. Thinking that menstruation shouldn't be a taboo subject isn't radical.

Those radical "feminists" though...they weirdly may want to keep it taboo.

Parents who feel their voices aren’t being heard by FCPS can still vote with their pens by opting-out their kids from all FLE, Human Growth-Sex/Ed, and SEL lessons — and all activities that derive from them. They can also teach their kids that they have the right to skip all surveys, particularly intrusive questions where FCPS wants to know about their sexual orientation, or contain mental or emotional related questions, and even inquire about their race and ethnic backgrounds. Outsiders don’t have any business using our children for data mining purposes. If the majority of students refuse to provide this information and to participate in these activities, the lack of feedback will discourage schools from using students as guinea pigs and will leave them with no other option than to redirect resources to activities that focus on the academics, plus it would defund agencies and business that push these programs to profit from our students, such is the case of Planned Parenthood, Panorama, GLSEN, and other non-profits who further their radical agendas throughout our schools.

Of course, those parents who prefer to outsource the rearing of their children to third parties are welcome to continue to do so by enrolling their kids in extracurricular clubs at school for that purpose. All schools at FCPS have Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA) clubs which are sponsored by FCPS Pride, GLSEN, and others https://www.fcpspride.org/founding-and-sponsoring-a-gsa/ . Of course, there are some teachers allies of the GSA clubs who will gladly teach their version of SexEd to somebody else’s children. Others, as expressed by previous posters here, feel uncomfortable with the prospect of teaching the new version of the FCPS FLE and SexEd where boys and girls are combined and where gender ideology is introduced to younger students. Those teachers would rather focus on academics and science based human growth.

In fact, the FCPS new version of FLE and Human Growth can be taught to those interested as extracurricular activity, just like all clubs at schools are, or even as an elective during school hours. That way, students whose parents are not aware of these new changes or content because they don’t speak English well, or just are oblivious for other reasons, will be utilizing their time at school for what was really intended: learning, and not being indoctrinated. In fact, removing FLE and SexEd lessons and activities from regular school hours will benefit all students because that time can be better utilized for recovering the academic lose experienced in the last years, as well as to master concepts they lack in order to learn how to process information and reason in order to become independent thinkers.

Why is that funny? Of course everyone should be treated equally. We don't need to constantly discuss the subject of "equity" if everyone is treated the same way. But something tells me you LOVE the drama associated with the whole "equity" thing - you've never met a protest you didn't participate in, amirite?
