The concern about where a trans student would go is real. If you send them with their biological sex you out them as trans. If you send them with their gender identity they miss info about what will happen to their body. Don't out kids. Rule number 1.

Second, inclusive sex ed is important as LGBTQ+ youth are more likely to be at risk of teen pregnancy (yes, really) and STIs because they tune out when they think sex ed is just for straight kids. [/quote]

ES FLE is more about puberty that sex ed and puberty is still dependent biology not gender [/quote]

Yes, but if you put a child who for all intents and purposes identifies as a girl (and is known as a girl) with boys because that is her anatomy, do you not see how you've just outed that child? That's the point. Let everyone get the information they need without putting them in an unsafe environment.

And, frankly, I think it would be helpful if more boys understood mensuration. [/quote]

Then your girl goes into the all boy class and learns about erections.

And you and your doctor handle all the medical puberty questions which are going to be quite specific to your child and cannot be covered in a normal sex ed class, since they involve tremendous risks of cancer, lifelong hormone replacement, stunted growth, bone issues, loss of fertility and more.

Your trans kid should be getting their sex ed and puberty information from her doctor and you, not the school.

Leave the rest of the kids to single gender classes.

Why does the school board need to make this so difficult all the time?  Do they not have an ounce of sense?[/quote]
