Is being bi-gender a "thing" at your kid's school?

Yes, and they enjoy the attention from it and the feeling of being special and unique.

Pp here. They don't get much attention. I think most wise adults, teachers and parents, just roll their eyes and go with it just as they would if they were trying on an emo identity or goth identity or jock identity. It's a little puerile but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with it. And to the degree it provides a supportive environment for kids who actually are transgendered or whatever, that's a plus. Only the ugliest of jackass adults would get their panties in a twist over it. There is literally no harm in humoring it, but plenty of harm in fighting it.

Oh the fuddy dud, old fashioned parents who can't just "roll with" their kids "experimenting" in sexual behaviors.

Ah, that word tolerance. It sounds so quaint now. Remember when that's all that was expected, to "tolerate" these behaviors? Now it has to be full blown acceptance.

Tolerate has always meant acceptance. This is all a little silly but it isn't unacceptable. What is unacceptable is an adult who would mock or deride a child for this or post on an internet chat board protesting it. Only the most deranged sort of loser adult who is sick in the mind would do something like that.

No tolerate, means to put up with something, not think there's nothing wrong with it.

I have two middle schoolers with friends trying on there identities. None of them are experimenting with anything but labels. They aren't actually sexually active. I think that is common.

In this context, you are wrong. And your viewpoint here is not valid. Are you this ugly despicable person to which I was referring? I would like for you to stop thinking so much about teenagers and who they say they fuck. That is creepy and pervy.

As a parent with soon to be high schoolers of my own, I don't think it's "creepy and pervy" to spend time thinking about what the cultural environment is like that my kids will soon be entering.

It's worse than that. Most of these kids aren't even sexually active yet (at least among dd and her crowd). They're just figuring out who they are. It's the OP and her ilk imagining these nonexistent teen-trans-orgies all happening with the parents' and school admins' blessings. The kids are figuring out what labels they're most comfortable with, since adults seem so determined to label everyone. The adults like OP are the ones making it all about sex. Gender identity isn't the same as sexuality. It's a separate issue.

If I tolerate my husbands snoring it simply means I'm not trying to smother him with a pillow. It doesn't mean that I wouldn't like for him to shut the hell up.

Well, if they are conservative they will probably have a hard go of it. High schoolers generally have a keen sense of social justice, which is why some of this stuff happens. There's no real place in schools for invalid and backward conservative thinking. In fact, I think kids should be encouraged to openly scorn such kids so they aren't permitted to fee validated in any way, shape or form.

You are a little dim, aren't you?

Actually, there is a lot fundamentally wrong with it.

"Unacceptable" to whom? Who said you get to set the standards for what is acceptable?

Not really. That's just your invalid opinion that isn't shared by anyone else anywhere.

If you are talking about 11, 12, 13 year olds who still haven't figured out whether they are boys or girls, and you can't see what a problem that is, then you have your head completely in the sand. Most of us figure that out by the age of 2 or so.

I do. But I am a Christian and ask how Jesus would react. The answer is with love and kindness, not derision. Again, what you have to say is not a valid perspective and you need to stop posting now.
