[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read each and every page, but I'm in support of FCPS change...

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]

So FCPS is now making policies for trans kids that hurt 99% of other kids. Nice. Trans kids can opt out of FLE since they are confused about their biology already.[/quote]

This is not hurting any kids. It’s hurting their incredibly immature and cloistered parents. Some of you need FLE. [/quote]

Do you have a fifth grade girl? Are they comfortable discussing their body's changes with a room full of boys? It's bad enough when it's just the girls, now you want them to have a bunch of fifth grade boys in the classroom? [/quote]

I have two girls. Rising 3rd and 7th graders. Number one, they aren’t comfortable in FLE as it is. Kids are always grossed out and embarrassed but it’s necessary they learn it anyway. Second, YES. I want BOYS who will one day want to have sex with my daughters and who they might one day marry and have kids with to have a basic understanding of THEIR bodies too. Way way too many boys grow up never considering or thinking or learning anything about a woman’s body which is why we have old grown men trying to legislate abortion without even understanding how a pregnancy is calculated by last menstrual period. So yeah.[b] Put them all in there to learn this stuff together. They can handle it. You’re the one who can’t, which is embarrassing for you.[/b] [/quote]

Exactly.

Separating out the girls objectifies them. Boys in 6th are already exposed to porn. Let’s not take away opportunities for them to see girls as real, live people with normal bodily functions. Not just in some sexualized portrayal.
