Bigots are increasingly emboldened by the right.

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

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.

So you are freaking out because out of the less than 1/10 of 1% there maybe, just maybe could possibly be one that goes into a locker room at some point--likely changing in a private bathroom stall like most of the other kids do. I can pretty much assure you that even in the 1/10000th chance that happens, the kid isn't going to be getting naked in front of other kids. I don't think my kids have fully changed/showered in front of any peers/or had anyone change in front of them despite 10 years of playing three different sports including swimming-- and they are not transgender--it just isn't the norm any more.
I wonder how you will react when your kid goes to college where there are co-ed communal bathrooms.

I just think there are so many far, far more important things to be spending time/energy on.

So, what is the big deal, then, about Youngkin's policy?

DP. Youngkin wants to “out” kids to their parents without their consent.

And, FCPS wants to keep secrets from parents.

Outing a kid against their will can be devastating.

Encouraging kids to change gender without their parents knowing is also devastating. Some might even call it "grooming."

No one in the school system is encouraging children to change their gender. That's absurd.

What do you call this?:

So FCPS is part of this great conspiracy theory of yours?

The only people saying “groomers” are the ignorant bigots. Conservative accusations are very often conservatives admissions.

So what do you say to the parents who are supportive of their transgender children using the bathroom/locker room that aligns to their desired gender and also whose transgender children want to play on sports teams with the gender that they identify with?

I hope that all of the people who are making this all about parents' rights will also affirm the rights of the parents who support their transgender youth.

But unfortunately it's not the case, because it's not really about ALL parents' rights. Just the ones whose values align with the people making these decisions. Much in the way that a teacher can refuse to use a chosen name and/or pronouns different than ones assigned at birth if it violates their religious belief, even if parents have explicitly approved and requested those things to apply to their children. In those cases (which are happening all over the country) the religious beliefs of the teacher supersede the authority of the parent to make decisions for their child. Because it's fine for a teacher to push their values or agenda on students in direct violation of parent's choices as long as it's on the side of the people makings these laws.

And, what do you say to those who do not believe it is right to share private spaces with those whose private parts are different? What do you say to the young women who have to compete against biological men?

I think individual stalls should be available to all who desire privacy.

Parents knowledge and stances are critic. Parents' decision can cause irreversible damage to the children. Sadly, parents sometime have to fight to protect children from induced gender transition.
