[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see a number of people on this thread confident that the changes being proposed by the students would never be implemented.  I wish I were as confident.  It is women and others not speaking up for logic and rationality in this space that has led us to where we are today.

I assume that everyone has seen the news about the recent U Penn student who competed with the mens swim team for several years, "transitioned", and is now competing against women and blowing them out of the literal water? So sad for young women who have trained their entire lives and now being handily beaten by a student with a male body.  No one is standing up for these women - it is an abomination.[/quote]

You know who should be standing up for these girls, and all girls everywhere caught up in institutions promoting this madness?  Their mothers.[/quote]

TRYING!!![/quote]

Trying here too. Will actively and passively encourage my daughter to stay away from these cuckoo kids and similar cuckoo parents engaging in gender fluidity. It is truly the worst trend.[/quote] 
 I don't think one needs to stay away from anyone, as you will not know for whom it is a trend and for whom it is their real identity that they are finally able to feel confident showing. However, I really think there is a HUGE difference between a school who's mission is girls' education changing their language vs individual students deciding they want to use they/them pronouns. The whole point of parents applying to that school was because it is a girls school. If they or the child want to be in a gender neutral place they should move to a co-ed institution. But, if they stay they should except that the language will assume that the student body is comprised of girls, although they should be shown respect should they want to go by another pronoun, but the institution will not redo all their language to fit the tiny portion of students who have chosen, after the fact, to go by something other than she/her.[/quote]
