[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are really concerned about a genetic male being in the locker room of your DDs, have you ever talked to anyone like a principal or counselor about how they would handle that?

[b]My understanding is that the trans child has to live as the other gender for 2 yrs before the school will consider them as the other gender. [/b]And even then, the school admins have no interest in making every genetic girl uncomfortable in the girls' locker room.  Why don't you ask and get the info. before you assume the worst?

As for bathrooms, there are stalls in the girls' bathrooms... what do you think is going to happen?  Any trans child is not interested in drawing more attention to him/herself.  They just want to pee in safety!  Again, ask the principal or counselor.  You will find out that it's not as simple as a teen boy just deciding to prank the girls by pretending to be trans for a day and getting into the girls' bathrooms.  It's much more involved than that.

Can you imagine having your own child afraid of being beaten up just b/c he/she has to pee?  That's what life is like for a trans kid and parents.  No one is going to attack your genetic girl using the girls' room. No one is going to be peaking at her.  Really.

HAve a conversation about how this all is managed before you force trans kids into a dangerous situation.  [/quote]

Well, your understanding is completely wrong.  According to the proposed policy, the child simply has to identify as transgender.  No confirmation from a parent, school employee, or doctor is required.  No time limit is required.[/quote]
