The Five school districts with Title IX violations, how much money do they stand to lose?

[Anonymous]

Until the court precedent on Grimm is overturned, these districts have a good chance at winning. Trump admin is out over their skis on this one.

Prediction: Grimm will be overturned.

There are too many caveats: who determines who is allowed access?

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.

I can support all those things. I can also recognize that no one that has capitulated to Trump to date has been “safe”. No one. There will always be more demands.

If you don’t realize that, you haven’t been paying attention.

If you’re truly worried about sex offenders in locker rooms and bathrooms, not trans children, let’s brainstorm ways to stop that.

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.”

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.

1. How do you know she isn’t a woman?
2. Not all sex offenders are registered. Some haven’t been caught yet.

This is such a bad look for Dems. All you have to do is revise to guarantee private facilities. Sure it feels like a step backwards, but sometimes you need to pick your battles.

But they won't. That's the problem with both of these parties. I hope they both get so extreme that we finally have a 3rd party. So sick of both of them.

You both sides people are insufferable. Take a walk over the bridge and get back to me how they’re all extreme and all the same.

My question is how it is that Arlington County has hired one of the most expensive law firms in the country to fight their cause? I know the question sounds judgmental but I’m genuinely curious. I would be shocked if Wilkie is willing to get in a fight with the administration after having capitulated and reached a Trump compromise for free or for some really reduced rate, but how would we know? That’s a real question: who and how is Arlington paying for this lawsuit? Where does the funding come from and who authorizes it?

Not trying to get into a fight about the merits of this lawsuit, which I know won’t happen on DCUM, but I can try.

Does anyone know if the other four school systems have responded the same way as APS?

SCOTUS already granted two title IX cases on definition of sex for this term. Grimm will be overturned by June 2026 at the latest.

Maybe it’s pro-bono.

Why should billions of taxpayer dollars be used to accommodate a tiny minority of students who are mentally ill?

I didn’t attend the school board meeting to express my opinion because alternate opinions will be squashed or I’ll be doxed.

So, I’ll tell my son it’s ok for him to use the girls restrooms because the boys restrooms stink! And maybe he and his friends will show up a girls tryouts too.

There is almost no chance they’re doing it pro-bono. APS is well resourced and chose this fight. Wilkie’s not going to turn down the payday, especially since they are likely to lose in the long run.

Everyone still gets paid and only the students suffer. Should tell you how seriously they take the “fighting fascism” idea.
