I guess I’ll start looking at single sex private schools for high school. I thought we realized that very few people want this, and it’s unfair to women.

Please go say this under your real name. Own it if you really think this is right. If you just stay anonymous you must know on some level how hateful your views are.

Why do you believe we are ashamed of supporting women’s and girls rights? That is not hateful, it’s following the law and fair.

You're ashamed of being anti trans. The schools ARE following the law. Trump Admin is not. I'm confident this will be litigated.

This whole issue was concocted by MAGA agents to divide the democrats. Read the history on Wikipedia.

There are boys in women’s sports, bathrooms, locker rooms, and prison cells. MAGA agents didn’t create this, the democrats did with the help of the ACLU, HRC and others. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. It’s not okay.

Good then that's one less homophobic family in public school. I'm sure there are some conservative religious schools where you will feel more comfortable.

It’s transphobic. And I’m not but my minor daughter doesn’t want to change with males.

Wow! That's a lot! Thank you.

Federal funding - which is all that is at issue, not state - is far, far less than this. It's 2.8% in APS.

Not PP, but that's still a lot. Look at how each budget session is hotly contested, with beloved programs on the chopping block every year before APS finds some way to make the numbers work (although sometimes not). And that's always over a fraction of a percent...2.8% loss would blow a hole in every school's mission.

I am not the PP, but this type of response is why the MAGA types keep winning elections. There needs to be space under the Democratic tent for those of us who feel that trans men competing in women’s sports is deeply unfair to female athletes. It’s not a clear cut issue by any stretch of the imagination. Just look at what happened with Lia Thomas at UPenn three years ago and how that impacted top women swimmers who had dedicated their life to their sport.

For what it’s worth we have several children who are trans at my school and they’re welcome to use the adult single bathroom if they choose (that has its own issues, but it’s not a big deal, generally none of them take the offer)

So which bathroom do they use? Are all children allowed to use the single adult bathroom?

There are a few students who do use the adult bathrooms for various reasons

But is it an option for each and every student?

No, it is an accommodation. Some kids are even granted it because of misbehavior in the regular bathroom

Have you met Youngkin??

Has the state said they will pull state funding? Can they even do that?

In most elementary schools students who request to use use single adult bathrooms are allowed, because generally it’s a sign that they need it for some reason (bullying etc)
