Seems like a common sense question. Sounds like you live in denial. |
This … melodramatic drama over a hypothetical … folks worry about your DDs mental, physical and spiritual health, their academics, their online activities, hobbies, and not this extremely unlikely situation … |
Have you heard of Loudoun County? |
Why are you fear mongering about a risk that is close to zero for SR students ? 1. This entire thread is probably a hoax to stir up controversy. Transgender mtf students are unlikely to choose a Catholic girls school for obvious reasons; 2. That student was already highly troubled (serious mental health problems/ broken family) had a previous sexual assault charge at another school and would never be admitted to SR. Further, he and the victim had been dating and had engaged in consensual activity in bathroom previously, which does not make the assault right but makes it more complicated than media is portraying it. 3. The student was wearing a skirt but did not have school permission to use the girls bathroom. It was a horrible event but it was about a simplistic trans bathroom issue the way media portrayed it. My heart broke for the victim and her family. There is much higher risk for SR girls dealing with anxiety and depression, vaping/ substance abuse, eating disorders in quests to be perfect and feeling excluded. This thread has achieved its original goal of polarizing and dividing opinion. We need to work much harder on building a loving Christian community where our girls can thrive, feel safe, and develop their gifts and privileges to do good in the world. |
This. Stone Ridge is transphobic otherwise. |

This is actually very true. The counselors are clueless. |

This, especially: This thread has achieved its original goal of polarizing and dividing opinion. We need to work much harder on building a loving Christian community where our girls can thrive, feel safe, and develop their gifts and privileges to do good in the world. |
| There's nothing stopping you from building a "loving, Christian community", so perhaps stop talking about the fact that you need to "work hard" to do it, and instead do the work. |
It starts with not whipping up controversy and fear about close to non existent risks while working on addressing realistic risks which is what we do with DD. |
| It is a Catholic single-sex girls school OP. If you are so affronted + triggered--stop whining + start your own trans school. |
OP is a troll stirring up controversy and division - more likely to be laughing hard rather than affronted … |

Here’s something I have learned from my daughters in the past year
There’s a lot of peer pressure online to identify as queer or transgender And it’s very uncool to identify as heterosexual I’m unfortunately having to have these discussions with my 12 and 13 year old daughters |
