So, yeah, not the PP, but I'm well versed in adolescent psychology. Exploring one's identity is a natural and inevitable process for adolescents. I'm confused as to why you think this person's post suggests a lack of understanding of this particular phase in life.


Affirmative therapy of an adolescent’s self diagnoses fed through form an Internet Influencer is just too cool.

Bring on the name changes, breast binding, puberty blockers and T! Even better, school policy is to never tell Mom & Dad!

None issue for me … this is overwrought … as far as I know, only one child in grade identifying as trans and one or two as non binary. So what? These stats are lower than at other local schools and there is no drama/ bullying about it, according to my DD. It is really none of our business, and it is up to those girls and their families to navigate. They may or may not grow out of it.

Most girls are trying to keep up with the rigorous and constant academic load, athletics, music commitments, and/ or theater commitments plus catching some down time and sleep.

Let’s not create unnecessary drama. The girls are working hard and getting along together.

Let me guess: you think CRT teaches white people to be ashamed of their race, right?

Is this a definitive response from the school that they would consider an application from a student assigned male at birth? Is there anything in writing to back this up?


You’re just too cool for school aren’t you? Everyone’s non binary now or trans. No one cares PP. Only you trying to harass everyone on DCUM. Make up your mind, so you want orientation to be an issue or a non-issue? Because for all of us it’s a non-issue. But you seem to want to glorify it or make it super special or get special treatment and attention.


Well that sound down the petty rapid responses puppet.


???? That comment literally makes no sense: “Well that sound down the petty rapid responses puppet”

Not PP but agree with him/ her … it really is a non issue for me as well. Many young people in general are identifying as all over the map with gender identities …. SR is no exception and people are trying to not blow stuff out of proportion as they are young and are likely to change their minds/ evolve as they mature … if not, it is up to them and their families to figure out while being respectful of their choices at school … This wide spread gender bending stuff appears to be much higher at every single public and private school, according to friends. We do not know how it will play out yet. In the past, it was rare and mostly mtf but now it is extremely common and mostly ftm. SR is a school and I care about the quality of education, which is excellent.

I don’t think there would be bullying against mtf trans student since several girls have requested to be treated like boys and their wishes are respected. I don’t know why it would be any different for male to female. The question should be whether the student would be a good fit for the school in terms of academics/ athletics/ performing and visual arts offering/ faith etc.

Although I do not think there is likely to be bullying around trans students, I do agree with other PPs that bullying in general needs to be taken seriously. It is not right and there need to be stricter penalties for girls who engage in hurtful behavior. The sacred heart goal of building loving community requires safe spaces for community to grow.

Yes SR is recruiting trans curious boys from Little Hearts for ES. JK Rowling is on school’s gender policy advisory committee and strongly recommends the younger the better for trans students ….

How would you know?


Oh geez people this is not some kind of ‘gotcha’ moment. A catholic school is probably not your best option for a trans kid. If that requires more explanation, you are an idiot. You have bigger issues if you are a trans parent who chooses that education over the thousands of other local offerings. Rome is not changing its tune anytime soon.


Stone Ridge is a Catholic school?


In name only.


Lol, that’s funny. I see you’re on your reality break.

Nope in heart and soul …

As a SR parent I can say for sure that there would be a parental revolt if a boy who identified as a girl was let in. Not every parent would be against it but a decent number would be very loud and very angry about it.

Lots of girls at SR identify as boys right now. I don’t think anyone takes it seriously. At least 3 of them are also gay (meaning they like boys) which just undermines the whole thing and makes it seem like it’s just a MS fad.

There have been trans students for a while. Note these are ftm trans, not the other way around. I know some of the students requested to be able to use the male locker room in the pool but were refused.

It's become something of a "craze" in the 8th grade.
