The sex offender incident has brought about a change in the process - showing ID.

The exhibitionists are still there *constantly*. It’s an ongoing issue.

Wow, it got removed so quickly! That has nothing to do with the case in LCPS and someone who is not a registered sex offender (yet) could still say "Yeah, I'm female" and get in.


I thought they changed the policy at the pools for good after that debacle?


In Arlington, they did NOT change that policy. They did start scanning the IDs of any adults entering the high school aquatic centers. Once your ID is scanned, you can still use whatever locker room you feel aligns with your gender— no questions asked.


Oof, I did not know that. Scanning ID seems like a basic minimum, and I would hope that this particular offender who was wanted in several jurisdictions WOULD have popped up, but not sure it actually would?? Anyone know, if the system would catch a truly wanted person (like that one was)?

There’s a good reason for that. Are you really that naive?

Boys can and do get girls pregnant, not the other way around. Se#ual predators, p*d*philes, r*pists are all overwhelmingly men. The survivors are 90% females. Girls and women are at much higher risk throughout their lives. The open door policy on girls and women’s bathrooms and locker rooms (choose what you feel like) just makes them even more vulnerable than they already are. The trans population is at a much higher risk statistically also. So they do need private, safe spaces, private bathrooms. What we do NOT need is a Carte Blanche for any biological male to walk into any female space they feel like whenever they want.



Student ID readers - their cards. This would work. It would also potentially help if a student can be quickly identified who does not return in a timely manner, if technology allowed that.. Could potentially save lives.

Women's bathrooms and locker rooms are not made safe by preventing trans people from using them. First, trans people are not rapists, pedophiles, and predators. Second, male rapists, pedophiles, and predators have easy entrance to women's locker room and bathrooms, they can just walk in. A rapist, pedophile, or predator is going to wait until they think the space is inhabited by one person, enter, and attack. They are not going to walk into the locker room before gym, pretending to be a trans person, and attack someone with a host of witnesses.

I have worked in office spaces where women are given a key to the bathroom because they lock the bathrooms to keep women safe. That is more likely to protect girls/women from predators. My current building uses an app on the cell phone to open the restroom door. That would work even better because you know who entered and when they entered. Maybe schools should move to all locked bathrooms and locker rooms, regardless of gender, and students needing to use an app to enter. It would make it easier to track who was in a bathroom when there was vandalism or who is ditching class or who might have been in the space during an attack.




Schools are banning phones during the school day. APS is going to far as to require students to place phones in special pouches. At least that would take care of the filming problem.

But we do have a “low tech” solution that’s been around forever for monitoring and restricting access - badge readers. It would solve a lot of problems.

EXACTLY.

That Arlington predator wasn't allowed in either bathroom.

My two APS teens have never changed in an open locker room, either for gym or varsity sports.

The only naked people I've seen in locker rooms in the last decade are older ladies at the pool who are creepy exhibitionists.



It is interesting how the sexism, misogyny, and ageism of trans activists always seeps out. They can’t keep it in, for whatever reason. It is just a core part of who they are, I guess.

I think this is part of the reason a lot of trans rights issues have become approximately 90/10 issues (including Gen Z).

It’s odd how the schools are taking such an unprincipled and unpopular stance. They could compromise (create a safe third space for trans kids, address sports on a case by case basis, etc) but they are so determined to fight for the rights of misogynists that they can’t back down.


I’m a Millennial who has noted for years (well before the current GOP trans panic) that the only people parading around locker rooms nude are old ladies, and when I say parade, I mean parade. As in, awkward changing my 3 year old in there parade. Blow drying the hair, applying the makeup, reorganizing the gym bag, and shooting the breeze completely nude. From what my husband told me, it’s the same in the men’s room.

If it’s ageist and sexist to speak the truth, I’m guilty as charged. Now put some clothes on, there are kids present.


I hope you don’t have daughters. They deserve better than to be taught by someone who actively despises women as deeply as you do. It’s so sad to watch. I’d suggest therapy, but I think your self-loathing goes too deep for that.



There is nothing misogynistic about not wanting pervy old women strutting around the locker room buck naked because they have some kind of exhibitionism fetish.



Wow. You are profoundly messed up.


I’m not the exhibitionist making everyone else uncomfortable in the locker room with my fetish.


So incredibly messed up. My God.


Yes, no one should be lingering buck naked for long periods of time in the locker room. Their exhibitionism makes everyone uncomfortable. No one should be blogging about naked kids dancing around the locker room either - so creepy.


Honey, a word of advice. Stop digging. You are only sounding weirder and more insane with each post. This is actually exemplary of a serious issue for trans rights: a lot of their loudest activists come across as raging lunatics. I don’t think anyone normal objects to a few private separate bathrooms for trans kids, but you sound so weird and deranged that you make people question everything.

And nobody normal buys your absolutely bizarre fantasies here. You are talking about something that exists solely in your absolutely creepy imagination. Just stop it. You are making things worse for your cause, not better.


Sounds like you haven’t had to deal with our local locker rooms after your kids’ swim lessons. People hanging out buck naked for long periods of time make other people uncomfortable. It is completely unnecessary and comes off as a fetish.

A self-professed TERF has detailed out her own joy hanging out naked in the W-L locker room as well as pleasure she gets watching young girls dance around naked in the locker room.

It’s indisputably creepy.


This is a figment of your turgid imagination and it is extremely weird behavior from you.


It’s real. Google TERF Washington Liberty pool.


I did. I only get news reports about an alleged sex offender allegedly exposing himself. No blogs whatsoever.

Like I said, you are crazy and extremely weird. You need to pipe down because you are hurting your cause. You sound like a lunatic.


The sex offender at W-L should not have been allowed anywhere near a locker room, whether it was the girls locker room or the boys locker room. This isn't a gender/trans issue, it's a sex offender issue. I don't get people trying to make it into a trans issue. Would they be ok with a sex offender in the boys locker room? I would not be ok with that at all. No one should be ok with that. APS changes its policy to screen sex offenders now before letting people into locker rooms, something they should have had all along.


As people has been explained, the APS policy is the reason that person was allowed access despite complaints about their actual behavior. You’re saying the same person doing the same thing without a criminal record is fine. The policy is the issue.


You're saying you're ok with the same perv in the boys room.


I’m saying the complaints would have been taken seriously if boys and men complained about it in the men’s locker room. The reason women were ignored is the APS policy.


Why? Why would the boys complaining about a man in the men’s room be taken more seriously?


“Before Cox was charged in October, another woman told 7News that she told the pool manager about the situation in September 2024, but she said the manager allowed Cox to continue to use the girl’s locker room because he identified as transgender. The woman said she called the school board and reported the situation, but the Arlington School Board did not respond to her.”

https://wjla.com/news/local/virginia-arlington-county-school-washington-liberty-high-school-woman-daughter-transgender-man-womens-girls-school-locker-room-commonwealths-attorney

You should really find a more reasonable compromise position on this unless you want to see Winsome Sears as governor. It’s a slam dunk for republicans.


We have a great compromise - a visitor identification system was put in place to keep out people who are on the sex offender list - like Richard Cox was at the time these incidents occurred- and ensure that they are getting no where near school locker rooms. In other words, someone is enforcing the sex offender list, and you’re no longer counting on an honor system for people who have proven they have no honor.

This is a proportionate and appropriate response that directly addresses the root cause of how this guy (he is a guy, let’s be honest) ended up in the locker rooms. We can chase hypotheticals all day long, but last I checked, conservatives don’t like “overreach” when it comes to preachers molesting children or even psycho murders being deprived of their arsenals of guns, so this will have to do.



OK this is good that it would have caught him, but only because he was locally known and wanted in neighboring jurisdictions? Or is this a national list? Is there such a thing. Serious question.

In theory they should be able to draw from any state. Anyone know how this works? Would prefer it be a proactive check against a database rather than a retroactive log but I have no idea how it actually works.

But we do have a “low tech” solution that’s been around forever for monitoring and restricting access - badge readers. It would solve a lot of problems.

That requires administrators to make calls on who gets access to what bathroom.

It is interesting how the sexism, misogyny, and ageism of trans activists always seeps out. They can’t keep it in, for whatever reason. It is just a core part of who they are, I guess.

I think this is part of the reason a lot of trans rights issues have become approximately 90/10 issues (including Gen Z).

It’s odd how the schools are taking such an unprincipled and unpopular stance. They could compromise (create a safe third space for trans kids, address sports on a case by case basis, etc) but they are so determined to fight for the rights of misogynists that they can’t back down.


I’m a Millennial who has noted for years (well before the current GOP trans panic) that the only people parading around locker rooms nude are old ladies, and when I say parade, I mean parade. As in, awkward changing my 3 year old in there parade. Blow drying the hair, applying the makeup, reorganizing the gym bag, and shooting the breeze completely nude. From what my husband told me, it’s the same in the men’s room.

If it’s ageist and sexist to speak the truth, I’m guilty as charged. Now put some clothes on, there are kids present.


I hope you don’t have daughters. They deserve better than to be taught by someone who actively despises women as deeply as you do. It’s so sad to watch. I’d suggest therapy, but I think your self-loathing goes too deep for that.



There is nothing misogynistic about not wanting pervy old women strutting around the locker room buck naked because they have some kind of exhibitionism fetish.



Wow. You are profoundly messed up.


I’m not the exhibitionist making everyone else uncomfortable in the locker room with my fetish.


So incredibly messed up. My God.


Yes, no one should be lingering buck naked for long periods of time in the locker room. Their exhibitionism makes everyone uncomfortable. No one should be blogging about naked kids dancing around the locker room either - so creepy.


Honey, a word of advice. Stop digging. You are only sounding weirder and more insane with each post. This is actually exemplary of a serious issue for trans rights: a lot of their loudest activists come across as raging lunatics. I don’t think anyone normal objects to a few private separate bathrooms for trans kids, but you sound so weird and deranged that you make people question everything.

And nobody normal buys your absolutely bizarre fantasies here. You are talking about something that exists solely in your absolutely creepy imagination. Just stop it. You are making things worse for your cause, not better.


Sounds like you haven’t had to deal with our local locker rooms after your kids’ swim lessons. People hanging out buck naked for long periods of time make other people uncomfortable. It is completely unnecessary and comes off as a fetish.

A self-professed TERF has detailed out her own joy hanging out naked in the W-L locker room as well as pleasure she gets watching young girls dance around naked in the locker room.

It’s indisputably creepy.


This is a figment of your turgid imagination and it is extremely weird behavior from you.


It’s real. Google TERF Washington Liberty pool.


I did. I only get news reports about an alleged sex offender allegedly exposing himself. No blogs whatsoever.

Like I said, you are crazy and extremely weird. You need to pipe down because you are hurting your cause. You sound like a lunatic.


The sex offender at W-L should not have been allowed anywhere near a locker room, whether it was the girls locker room or the boys locker room. This isn't a gender/trans issue, it's a sex offender issue. I don't get people trying to make it into a trans issue. Would they be ok with a sex offender in the boys locker room? I would not be ok with that at all. No one should be ok with that. APS changes its policy to screen sex offenders now before letting people into locker rooms, something they should have had all along.


As people has been explained, the APS policy is the reason that person was allowed access despite complaints about their actual behavior. You’re saying the same person doing the same thing without a criminal record is fine. The policy is the issue.


You're saying you're ok with the same perv in the boys room.


I’m saying the complaints would have been taken seriously if boys and men complained about it in the men’s locker room. The reason women were ignored is the APS policy.


Why? Why would the boys complaining about a man in the men’s room be taken more seriously?


“Before Cox was charged in October, another woman told 7News that she told the pool manager about the situation in September 2024, but she said the manager allowed Cox to continue to use the girl’s locker room because he identified as transgender. The woman said she called the school board and reported the situation, but the Arlington School Board did not respond to her.”

You should really find a more reasonable compromise position on this unless you want to see Winsome Sears as governor. It’s a slam dunk for republicans.


Right and your position is that the pedophile belonged in the men's room.

There’s a good reason for that. Are you really that naive?

Boys can and do get girls pregnant, not the other way around. Se#ual predators, p*d*philes, r*pists are all overwhelmingly men. The survivors are 90% females. Girls and women are at much higher risk throughout their lives. The open door policy on girls and women’s bathrooms and locker rooms (choose what you feel like) just makes them even more vulnerable than they already are. The trans population is at a much higher risk statistically also. So they do need private, safe spaces, private bathrooms. What we do NOT need is a Carte Blanche for any biological male to walk into any female space they feel like whenever they want.



Student ID readers - their cards. This would work. It would also potentially help if a student can be quickly identified who does not return in a timely manner, if technology allowed that.. Could potentially save lives.

Women's bathrooms and locker rooms are not made safe by preventing trans people from using them. First, trans people are not rapists, pedophiles, and predators. Second, male rapists, pedophiles, and predators have easy entrance to women's locker room and bathrooms, they can just walk in. A rapist, pedophile, or predator is going to wait until they think the space is inhabited by one person, enter, and attack. They are not going to walk into the locker room before gym, pretending to be a trans person, and attack someone with a host of witnesses.

I have worked in office spaces where women are given a key to the bathroom because they lock the bathrooms to keep women safe. That is more likely to protect girls/women from predators. My current building uses an app on the cell phone to open the restroom door. That would work even better because you know who entered and when they entered. Maybe schools should move to all locked bathrooms and locker rooms, regardless of gender, and students needing to use an app to enter. It would make it easier to track who was in a bathroom when there was vandalism or who is ditching class or who might have been in the space during an attack.




Schools are banning phones during the school day. APS is going to far as to require students to place phones in special pouches. At least that would take care of the filming problem.

But we do have a “low tech” solution that’s been around forever for monitoring and restricting access - badge readers. It would solve a lot of problems.

That requires administrators to make calls on who gets access to what bathroom.


Seems like an easy call to make. There’s a spot for parents to check gender - that solves for 95%+ of cases. It only gets tricky where the parent doesn’t know/support the child’s gender expression, but fortunately in Nova we only have a few such troglodyte parents, not enough to overwhelm anyone.

I guess I’ll start looking at single sex private schools for high school. I thought we realized that very few people want this, and it’s unfair to women.


Please go say this under your real name. Own it if you really think this is right. If you just stay anonymous you must know on some level how hateful your views are.


Why do you believe we are ashamed of supporting women’s and girls rights? That is not hateful, it’s following the law and fair.


Anyone else find it funny MAGA is pro women and girls rights in *this* context but not all others?

By “funny” I mean deeply unsettling and frustrating


Your mistake is thinking that everyone on the 90 side of this 90/10 issue is MAGA.


Not 90. Certainly not in Arlington.

A few may not be hard core MAGA but they are happy to push MAGA propaganda.


People that are happy to support what Trump administration is doing need to realize this opens the door for his administration to target other groups. It’s the trans community now. Who is next?

That was quite the meeting last night. Seems the community is strongly in support of the trans kids.

Why? Just make it general bathroom access.

It’s extremely concerning that he’s coming after private medical records for transgender people. WTAF?

you can support trans teens right to express their identities be called their preferred names and live as they wish while also believing that we need a single stall bathroom and changing areas. You can also support them while realizing that losing funding hurts every student in a school.

+1. Plus, how many people in Arlington with a different opinion would show up in public to say so? They would be branded a bigot, shunned, etc.
