[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they look nice and it helps family members pick them out of a crowd. But maybe that was my school- my graduating class was over 1k.[/quote]

How about the trans kids then?  kids who are they/them? [/quote]

There are a miniscule number of trans kids and presumably they would wear the color of the gender with which they identify. This isn't hard. Why are trying to make it so?[/quote]

There are lots of nonbinary kids who don't identify with either gender, and thus, can't do what you are suggesting.

It's a stupid tradition.  My high school used to have separate valedictorians, male and female.  That was also a stupid tradition.  There is no reason not to just have one color.  [/quote]

No, see. There are not "a lot." There's a miniscule number. They can still choose one or the other. The rest of society does not need to bend over backwards to accommodate them or subjugate traditions because it makes them uncomfortable. We'll accept them for who they are, but they also need to just get with the program and realize that a small number of people who march to a different drummer don't get to make demands on society at large that upend the norm. It doesn't work that way.[/quote]
