Do you know any transgender girls (bio boys)? Because I do, and while I might have felt like you had I not known her, knowing this girl (bio boy), the place she would not belong is in the boys locker room. She completely presents herself as a girl to the point that only a very few of her friends know she was born a boy. Why in the world would she have to start using the boys locker room? The boys at her school would be more uncomfortable with her in their locker room than the girls would be having her in theirs, I'm quite sure. Sometimes it takes actually knowing someone before you start judging.

If this person is still biologically a boy then it could get very uncomfortable for the girls...no place in a girls' locker room.

The email says:

We believe our current FCPS policies are consistent with federal and state anti-discrimination laws. We also believe that supporting our students and working with parents and caregivers are not mutually exclusive; we already do both and will continue to do so.

It mentions parents in a reasonable way, IMO.

Oh this is so much better than Arlington. At least she mentions parents.

DP, and whites didn’t feel safe from physical or sexual assault when sharing bathrooms with other races. They felt they didn’t belong their either.

Please find an example in the Civil Rights movement where white women said they were afraid of being assaulted in the bathroom by Black women.

Other than skin color, which is on a spectrum there are no categorical biological differences between Black women and White women. There are biological differences between males and females. That’s why we have single sex spaces.

I work in a school and have for almost 3 decades. It has been my experience that many trans kids I've known have the support of their families. In those cases, these model policies matter little.

Rather it's the cases where the student does NOT have the support of their family. Consider this: trans acceptance is a highly politicized issue right now (whether that it par for the course or abjectly ridiculous is not the point of this post). Through that lens, knowing how cruel kids can be and how much negative community chatter is out there, what kid on earth would think that SCHOOL is the best place to come out? And yet, with an unaccepting family, that's exactly where they'll do it. For kids with unaccepting families, it's not a secret that their family is not accepting, and there can be dire consequences for those kids--abuse, becoming unhoused, suicide. That's the reason for the pushback.

Part of the human development experience is to find our identity. Identity is comprised of a lot of things. Gender & sexuality have always been on a continuum--not binary nor static. For those supporting these policies, the claim is that the school system is "indoctrinating" kids, keeping families purposely out of the loop. What if instead it's supporting a student finding their identity, living their truth? Simply seeing a person for who they are: a human being, whatever identity that takes?

The question I have for the anti-trans crowd: what about a trans person is so scary? How does Human 475485 being trans affect your life in any way?

I'm not anti trans, I am just skeptical because it's getting a lot of attention lately. First, I don't want a boy using the same bathroom or changing facilities as my daughter. Next I don't want a boy in girls sports, beating all the girls. Whatever they want to do on their own time is not my problem, when it starts affecting my kid negatively that is when it becomes my problem.

If your daughter is so uncomfortable, using a shared restroom or locker room, one of your request that she had back to a private one?

Huh?? So all the girls should request private stalls to avoid seeing some kid with a penis? Because the penis kid should be the one that matters the most and not all of the girls. I'm pretty sure 99% of parents do not want their girls to see a penis at school. Girls should not have to be forced to see penises. It's just that simple.

Does your kid pee with the door to the stall open?

I have been in many a bathroom in my life and never have I seen another woman’s vulva.

If you have kids in the bathroom keeping the stall doors open, your superintendent should be made aware.

If that were that elementally simple, then why is it that transgender students don’t just use the bathroom that corresponds with their biological sex and close the door? According to your position, it’s not as if the other kids whose bodies have the opposite sex genitalia are going to be keeping the stall doors open, or the demand that transgender student do.

Like you, I am yet to see another woman’s genitals while using the bathroom. And, I want to keep it that way! Unfortunately, is no longer the case when it comes to locker rooms. Women who feel violated by this, not to mention young girls, are now being forced to see male genitalia in locker rooms.

The boss of all Superintendents in Virginia has already been made aware of this situation and his administration has released the new “2023 Model Policies”. Take a look:

https://www.doe.virginia.gov/home/showdocument?id=46509&t=638252835940748322

This just makes too much sense. The trans lobbies just want to make girls uncomfortable and not be able to have their own private spaces and sports. These are weak men that are mad that women are finally becoming equals and in positions of power. They are mad and now are trying to usurp womanhood and take it over and make like they are some kind of disadvantaged minority so they can have special privileges.

No. Stop throwing out complete horse sheet.

Of course the poor kid must still be a biological boy. I don't think there is a way for them to ever be a biological girl. It just is not possible.

The amount of hate and bigotry on this thread is very saddening and alarming. A little empathy and compassion go a long way, especially when children are involved.

Then maybe they should wait to transition until 18.

I have empathy and compassion for the transgender kids. I also have empathy and compassion for girls in girls' sports and bathrooms.

No, you don't. Stop lying to yourself. Own your hatred at least. If you choose not to be kind, at least be genuine.

Maybe within your own frame--probably "those poor lost souls" rather than "people with knowledge of themselves."

Please justify trans girls in girls' sports. It makes no sense. But, you call people against it "bigots."

1) I didn't call anyone a bigot--I was responding to the pp.
2) They said "I have empathy and compassion" and I was responding to that.

What literally is the percentage of trans girls in girls' sports? Out of all the girls playing, what percentage are trans girls? I would guess less than 1/10th of 1%. Is it really worth making this big of a deal about?

Yes, as they may be in the locker room with biological girls.
