The organization of this backlash is from a few very conservative congregations in the area and one outside hate group. Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition was present and visibly the main organizer when I attended two school board meetings where this topic was discussed and public commentary was given. I have been to many school board meetings over the years for various reasons and the first of these meeting last year was the most tension filled and hated filled I have ever attended. It was downright scary.

Little overstatement? It's not 99%. But, maybe the Chinese appreciate the opportunity to use free speech---I understand that it is sadly lacking in their country of origin.

Sorry, 90%, including all of the ones from before OP posted here? More like a hive mentality.

Wow, the petition is full of hateful comments. I would be embarassed to put my name on that. I'm looking through it now to see if any of them are at my child's school so I can avoid play dates.

Ummm... no it's not. Parts of the admin are using a new definition of sex to make this point, but pointedly deny this definition can be used for Title IX. The courts will ultimately decide the definition of sex, and it will have to be consistent for Title I and IX, probably no one will be happy. If gender is fluid and not biological, then woman's sports are in for a major change.

Ummmm... Yes it is. Or are you the idiot who starts petitions (with bad grammar) and doesn't both to learn the facts:

Not the OP. But I have studied the facts, which are not addressed in your link. The unintended consequences of this ill thought out policy will certainly be a challenge. DOE and one lower level court in Texas have advocated that the term "discrimination based on sex" as described in Title I must not be strictly interpreted based on biological sex. That an individuals sex must be respected based on whichever sex they choose to be and that it is unreasonable to ask for any legal, medical, or other documentation. An individuals sex is simply what the individual claims it to be. If this precedent survives, the same definition must apply to Title IX as well. It will be a mess.

Pretty much this.

+2. Buh-bye OP. Good riddance.

+3. And honestly, I would have more respect for you if you were just outright transphobic instead of pretending you're protecting someone.

Serious question.

Yeah, like this is going to happen all the time.

Take your hate and shove it.
