[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Echoing poster above who said, "Again, I think our kids are light years ahead of parents on this topic (in this area, anyway)."

Parent of daughter in an all-girls' school, who also came from a previous school with sorely needed parenting programming about developing identity. There are a lot of things the kids may not be alright about (coronovirus, after effects of online schooling, global warning and other stresses about hopeful future), but recognizing the many ways one can grow into themselves--and supporting others in this process--is not one of them on the whole. We'd do well to follow their lead.

This is of course true, however has nothing at all to do with one or two students opting to be at a private single gender school changing the policy to no longer use the word “girls” to describe the student body *as a whole* as “girls” or “ young ladies”. I think it’s also important for people to not expect the entire world to revolve around you, if you are choosing to be in a school the caters to one gender and you are identifying as a new gender after joining(or applying).
That’s reality and good for kids to know alongside respecting those who are different and seeing each person as an individual. There can be a balance. It doesn’t need to swing over into cray cray land. [/quote]
