What does it mean to be treated as a “boy” at school? Use the boys bathroom, boys lockers, join the boys sports teams?

Turn it on its head: are we letting teen trans “girls” into the locker room with my daughter?

There is no meaningful way the sexes are treated differently except in ways that can’t be compromised. Trans kids must used the communal facilities of their gender at birth. That’s unavoidable. They shouldn’t compete with the opposite gender on single gender teams. So what is the debate at all?[/quote]

I'm not entirely sure I understand your argument- but your statements that you put forth as fact here trans kids use bathrooms of gender at birth, and don't compete with the other gender on single gender teams, is contrary to current APS policy.  [/quote]

Right. APS has had progressive and inclusive trans policies for going on at least three years now. I have not heard any parents of trans kids oppose the policy so I think it's a made up conservative right talking point that there's some big issue with schools withholding information from parents of trans kids. When there is not.

Are you saying that  the Wakefield counselor who said she forges parent consent isn't withholding information from parents? [/quote]

There are staff who break all sorts of rules and policies. It's not right but it doesn't mean there's a huge system wide issue in this case. [/quote]
