What do you think is going to happen to your daughter if there are trans girls using the same bathroom as her? And why is it an issue just for your daughter? There are trans boys, too. Why isn't anyone concerned about biologically female children using the same bathroom as boys? I've NEVER seen that come up as an issue. It's always about trans girls.
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.
