[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Does it matter if it’s happened? They are protesting the policy[/b]. Kids at my child’s VA middle school had a walk out to protest the “don’t say gay” law in Florida. They were protesting a law/policy, not an event, snd it was in another state. But my son, at his arlington middle school, saw “non-binary” females use boys bathroom. You know, bathrooms where boys stand and pee in a urinal without a door. Not hypothetical. The kids would say “oh, I just use the boys bathroom.” My son tried to use the bathroom at off times & always go in a stall. What middle school boy wants a female to see him peeing?

I think private individual places for transgender kids to use the bathroom & change are safest and most comfortable for everyone. Ideally, everyone would have this option. [/quote]

It does when their arguments suggest actual experiences that have made them feel "uncomfortable." If they haven't actually had those experiences, their advocacy comes off as just protesting to take a stand, stir things up, get attention, something to write about in their college essays because they don't have anything else to write about, etc. It becomes a much less genuine protest.[/quote]

Oh, so more similar to the Arlington kids both misrepresenting and protesting a law in a state hundreds of miles away, that has no direct impact on their lives? At least this was relevant to a policy in their own state. I think walk outs, for anything, are basically a waste of time, but if people are going to cheer on one type of protest, be consistent. It shouldn’t matter if you agree with the kids or not. [/quote]
