I am not against the rights of transgender kids. But why not be reasonable, and set up separate bathrooms and locker rooms for transgender students?

I honestly don't understand what the issue is- don't the kids just go in a stall with a lockable door to change/shower/use the toilet? Why is it an issue if there is a coed shared hallway/handwash area?

Most toilet stalls don't have doors in high school restrooms.

BS. You are wrong and just trying to stir things up.

My Maryland high school did not have them in the ladies room. They were originally installed but had been torn off long before.

We had an excellent, involved, independent school board member replaced by a lady endorsed by the Republican party. Unlike our former representative, she’s made little to no effort to involve herself in the schools in her district and actually get to know them. I haven’t seen her at a single event. Communication with her constituents appears to me to be very poor. Such a huge step down in my book.
Fortunately, it doesn’t appear that she’s running again. I do wonder why, though.

If you are talking about Hoyler he was an absolute gem. What a loss. That's not my district but I appreciated him so much.

“In the locker rooms in the morning it's an invasion of privacy, as I said because when men and natural-born males are in our locker rooms and they are showering in the morning, natural-born females can walk in there as they please,” one male high school student told 7News. “And that is not OK. And it goes against what we believe in.”

In 2021, the Loudoun County School Board voted 7 to 2 to adopt the district-wide policy known as Policy 8040.

But some students have had enough and want the policy reversed.

What does that even mean?

Just a wild guess, maybe it means that they believe males and females should urinate/defecate, shower, and change clothing in single-sex spaces.

Yes, exactly. He was fantastic, so involved in the community, and excellent at providing information. Very transparent. Unfortunately, he went unendorsed by both Republicans and Democrats, who ran their own candidates. And people blindly voted, as per usual.

DP here. My district is the opposite - we vote blindly Dem. I am a (centrist) Dem but the school board Dems are super lefty and I don’t agree with them much at all. I am going to split ticket this year - county R, statewide D.

DP here. I wouldn’t have used the word safety but you don’t get to decide what makes other people uncomfortable. It’s weird to use a restroom with penises. Not to mention, at the school where I work, the trans girls dress very scantily. They are dressed like Julia Roberts at the beginning of Pretty Woman. You can argue people shouldn’t feel bothered by if, but ultimately you don’t decide how others feel.

Well, golly gee, I don't know. Why do we have sex-segregated restrooms and changing facilities (and sports teams)?

Hoyler was just fantastic. He was my district's rep and it is a shame he was voted out.

Do you have kids in HS? My kids HS in Maryland doesn’t have stall doors. She never goes to the bathroom at school unless it’s an extreme emergency.

I love how people call BS when a statement doesn’t line up with their argument or worldview.

Well, the transgirls still have dicks, so probably that makes people a tad uncomfortable?

What young girl is more concerned for herself than the teenaged boys who want in her restroom? Selfish!

I don’t think we do any longer

Let's hope we can get these emperor-is-naked idiots out of office. I'm far from a Republican. I don't approve of Trump. But it's clear the current school board is dangerously out of touch, with an agenda that doesn't align with the best interests of school kids.
