My girl loves PE. She should be able to participate without having to deal with this crap. She also needs to change into shorts and a tshirt and back into her regular clothes. She doesn't want to go wait on a line and change in a bathroom because of some boy with issues.

They're not boys. They're girls with penises. They might be boys tomorrow but for right now, they are girls.

Girls do not have penis. Just like I can't say I am black if I am obviously white. That would not be true and if you agreed and called me black (even though I am clearly white) you would be lying to me. If my kid comes home and tells me that they are the opposite gender then I am going to tell them no that is not true, otherwise I would be lying to them. It's like the emperor has no clothes.

This is child abuse and should be reported and investigated as such is it occurs. But I bet your kids are afraid of telling you anything you don’t like about their identity anyway, so it won’t happen. You are the reason why schools need to protect transgender teens from their parents.

My kid is a dog that wants to pee on your leg and take a dump on your doormat. If you tell him otherwise then that is child abuse and I will call 911.

So offensive but predictable, you and the other poster equating a person’s understanding of their core identity with these kinds of delusions. Not exactly punching up, is it?

It's just humoring delusion in both cases.

Why shouldn't they? This is a recent complaint. What other recourse do people have? Our elected officers have put this on us. Spanberger has supported this. Doubt she ever thought that vote would come back to haunt her.

This is what happens when elected people vote on party lines. It has come back to bite her. And, now she is running and telling people to feel the "rage." Some moderate.

Seara should be addressing the devastation that trump has brought to Virginia’s economy. Real issues that affect all of us. Not culture wars based on 1-2 complaints filed by national political groups.

What devastation? By cutting government bloat?

You don’t read much do you - higher unemployment, fewer job postings (public and private), more housing inventory - all while many feds are still getting paid. The worst is yet to come and since Nova is the economic powerhouse of VA, the whole state will suffer.

Take this to politics pleases.

This whole thread is politics.

I don't like this threat but the boy in girls bathroom thread kept being removed. As parents of girls, we should be able to want our girls to be away from boys in locker room and bathroom

I don’t think anyone disagrees with this. What I strongly object to is the idea that, just because a girl happens to have a penis, that she should be made to feel ashamed of her body or worse, be segregated from other girls. (Separate but equal anybody?) This is no longer a frontier civil rights issue, this is just settled science. Treat girls as girls, period.

And by the way, there are plenty of same sex attracted cis girls in the locker room. Maybe you want to segregate them too.

Settled science? Hardly. But even if that were true, that does not appear to be the case here. This appears to be a guy who just wants to watch girls change and he's taking advantage of the trans policies. Wouldn't people who support trans rights be the first ones to want to exclude the posers?

Believe all trans

If you don’t believe people are the authority on their own gender I don’t know what to tell you.

If your child had anorexia and was dangerously underweight, would you also confirm your child's belief that they were fat?

I'm a middle school teacher and would just urge everyone to be gentle with kids this age. They have so much real change going on hormonally in their brains and bodies, plus confusing messages from society. It's all really "where/how do I fit in?" What used to be an "am I goth or rock" internal debate can now be an "what gender am I" question for them. I submit that with patience and compassion for the vulnerability of puberty and adolescence almost all kids realize they're the same gender they were assigned at birth. We didn't have society telling us to think about this 25 years ago. The very few who still feel they're not the gender assigned at birth need real support and assistance, not rejection, if we want them to continue on to a balanced and productive adulthood.

That does not mean they should be infringing on the rights of others. Let them use the gender neutral bathrooms if they are uncomfortable using the bathroom of their own sex.

So you are part of the problem. If girls are feeling unsafe in your school you have failed your most basic duty.

I really take issue with reassuring hostile people that “almost all kids realize they’re the same gender assigned at birth”, as though this is some kind of desired outcome. Especially coming from a middle school teacher. It’s cis-normative and unacceptable. People should be who they are and the idea that it’s somehow a good thing that kids “find their way” back for their own gender devalues, denormalizes and others the trans experience. If anything we should be encouraging kids to experiment with gender to counteract the relentless pressure of society to conform.

And btw how many of those kids who change their mind are actually trans but are dissuaded from transitioning by the insanity they see from adults on this topic?

Yeah, no. This is an absolutely insane take.

Some people are trans and that’s ok.

That doesn’t mean we should be encouraging kids to experiment with their gender to counteract the fact that people are generally cisgender.

Btw, none.

You are proving the point that there are people who are actively pushing being trans, not just people advocating for trans people to be allowed to live their lives.

What is possibly the harm in kids experimenting with gender? If they try something and like it, great! If not, great! We should encourage kids to try different things, and this is no different. I think you’re just icked out by trans people and that leads you to the value judgment that trans=bad. If you don’t really feel like that then what’s the harm?

I think you all have veered fairly far off the main issue, which is that FCPS is stuck in the middle right now, because Trump’s DOE is asking school districts to ignore judicial precedent. You can debate the merits of being gender fluid all you want, but FCPS faces legal and monetary risk whether it defers to the DOE position or follows the advice it’s getting from its lawyers about what’s required under current law.

I’m not even slightly icked out by trans people. As I said some people are trans and that’s ok!

But glad you’re so open that you’re pushing kids to try out being trans even when they likely aren’t. That makes it pretty darn clear we shouldn’t be letting kids pick their locker rooms. Thank you for making the case for separation by biological sex!

Teenage boys should not get to just "try out" the girls' locker room. What a dumb take.
