If you’re having a strong reaction to that statement it means that you view it as politically motivated and not the least bit grounded in science. If you say “No” then you have to discredit “Gender Fluidity” because gender/sex is an actual biological construct easily proved by science while race is more arbitrary and sociologically determined.

The transitioning student I knew was NOT treated particularly well by admin or students.

Yet another slippery slope argument.

The trans movement, even what seems as innocuous as binding, has severe physical effects not mention mental ones. These decisions are not for children or teenagers to make. They need to wait until they are adults. And we as parents and teachers must stop the madness. The affirmative therapy is a crock. Would we tell anorexic girls you feel like you are fat so for now on we will call you fatty and help you achieve your lowest weight? Insanity. It's not anti trans so ask girls to wait until they are adults.
Comparing being trans to be anorexic, on the other hand, is incredibly bigoted. Did you spark a bowl before you wrote this chestnut?
And PP you missed the point of the comparison. Critical reading. It's about affirmative therapy. You wouldn't tell someone yes you are a dog because that's what they feel. People are affirming kids trans identity as young as kindergarten and placing kids as young as 11 on hormone blockers so that they will literally never be able to physically come into their sexuality. The point is that you would not do with that with any other mental health condition and yes, especially in the teenage years, most trans issues are actually body dysmorphia and/or a WHOLE slew of other mental illness that are not even being explored or addressed. That's malpractice and child abuse.

NCS - "Why a Girl's School"
Holton - "The All-Girl Advantage"
StoneRidge - "All Girls. Catholic. Independent."
Visitation - "All Girls Advantage"
Why? Why then even have all girls schools?
