Girl's School and Gender Pronouns

If gender is indeed fluid then it stands to reason that a boy who identifies as a girl will, at some point, apply to one of the local girls' schools. What will happen at that moment?

Will he be offered admission and if indeed he matriculates will he be forced to shower, dress for sports, and use a separate bathroom? After all if he is indeed a girl why would he be separated? What do we do if he, a marginal male athlete, begins to break the school athletic records?

So think it through.


If it is a single gender school yes, if it is a single sex school gender is irrelevant.

Why do you assume it hasn't happened?


Good private schools are hard to get into, and finding a reason to not admit an inconvenient candidate is not hard. “Every year unfortunately we decline to admit a large number of highly qualified applicants…”. The letter writes itself.


I wonder how careful they’d have to be to avoid a discrimination suit in DC. If 100% of trans girls who apply are rejected, the complaint writes itself



I guess you are right. I wonder whether there are enough trans girls for this to be an issue. But I could also see trans girls seeking out places like all-girls schools as welcoming environments.


They of course would be welcomed as girls.

IMHO, there are many many more trans males than females at this age.

I said the same in front of my DD and her friend and whoa did the friend tell me that I clearly didn’t get it. Well clearly I don’t and her explanation didn’t make me get it either. But now I’ve been labeled as something I also don’t understand.

Trans busy are well documented as an age 2-5 thing. And free were girls.

Now upper middle adolescent girls in western cultures are breaking all records suddenly seeming themselves transitioning and changing their names, burning their breasts, and sinking into the online trans communities. All schools are doing is watching and touting LGBTQ mantras. Doctors just nod and go with it so as to not get cancelled. Parents are told to be quiet and loving, and let the child explore their genders.

Same as all the males who claim trans to be put in the female prisons. Cakewalk decision there.

Why do you think that?

Please tell your daughters and their friends that once women were subjugated and oppressed by men and we fought hard against that injustice,

Now they’re being subjugated and oppressed by men that claim to be women. Sports is but one aspect of this normalization. When their daughters are denied the right to play on women's teams by biologically born men they’ll begin to understand.

You’ve come a long way baby!

Because if a boy ever tried something like this- except as a joke or perhaps because he lost a bet- he’d never live it down

I wonder if in a generation there will be a backlash in the opposite direction? I’m with you, PP, I’m a feminist and very liberal and I don’t get it at all. Denying our own gender does not make us more supportive of trans people.

There has to be. The medical malpractice alone. Once younger women see what happened to the generation of girls ahead of them, ugh. The pendulum will swing.

“Elite independent schools pay consultants like those in the Glasgow Group to help them comply with the rules set by NAIS: The National Association of Independent Schools, whose approved accreditors set standards for more than 1,600 top schools.“

Your independent schools are now run by the Glasgow Group.

I suspect all of the K-12 "girls" schools will soon be having all the same conversations the "women's" colleges have been having over the past decade.

We are currently living in a non-binary world and the single-gender educational institutions are ALL going to be reevaluating the words they use, the bathrooms they provide, and their history.

"Womens'" or "girls'" schools seem to be where most non-binary individuals feel safest and most accepted. So, rest assured, no girls school will look like the girls' school of your grandparent's generations. so, if that's what you are looking for, keep looking.
