Teen aged boys in the girls locker room. What could go wrong?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

As I recall, Falls Church went heavily for scrubama twice. So I don’t see what the problem is ....

Hope, Change and "Mitt Romney is mean" don't exactly convey the minutiae of transgender politics.

Teen aged boys in the girls locker room. What could go wrong?

The boys' "gender identity" is supposedly female - but what if it's lesbian female?

[MeshugeMikey]

I have an idea....convince Kim Jong un....to get all these trans people to immigrate..to North Korean People Republic...and let him solve their problems.. it EN MASSE

[trisham]

It’s very possible. I first learned of this yesterday:

Genderqueer (GQ; alternatively non-binary) is a catch-all category for gender identities that are not exclusively masculine or feminine—identities which are thus outside of the gender binary and cisnormativity.[1] Genderqueer people may identify as one or more of the following:

having an overlap of, or indefinite lines between, gender identity;[2]
having two or more genders (being bigender, trigender, or pangender);
having no gender (being agender, nongendered, genderless, genderfree, or neutrois);
moving between genders or having a fluctuating gender identity (genderfluid);[3] or
being third-gender or other-gendered, a category which includes those who do not place a name to their gender.[4]

The free market is the answer, someone should open a private school.
That is part of the answer; but, for it to work well one would first have to go with a complete voucher system. Not just for poor minorities; everyone gets a voucher. Then, schools compete for your child (and their voucher) and parents would then be able to choose a school that would fit their child best.

Needless to say, the teacher's unions would never allow it.

The problem with a voucher system is that the government would demand that schools that accept the vouchers abide by the type of government guidelines that created this mess.

To deny gender is to deny science! Only science deniers can support such things.

Get YOUR children out of the government indoctrination centers - NOW!!

I’m not just thinking of the boys in the girls’ locker room as a problem.

Imagine the uproar the first time that a female-to-male transgender teen goes into a locker room strips with a bunch of naked, hormonal teenage boys.

Then we’ll have to hear about ‘rape culture’ and ‘homophobia’ and on and on.

These geniuses need to go back to kindergarten.

Simple way to tell if you are a boy or a girl.

Board member Megan McLaughlin said that there was no need for a larger debate, because this was an update to the protected classes of the school system, and not a new policy creating favored groups.

Oh, well, that makes a lot more sense then. It isn't a new policy creating a favored group, it's an old policy creating a protected class. Completely different thing.

These people are seriously, spittle-throwing deranged and they're in charge. For now.

[Albion Wilde]

The motion to add "gender identity" as a protected class– which passed 10-1, with one abstentation – was sparked by the Obama administration's threat to deny the district $42 million in federal funding. According to FoxNews.com and The Washington Post, that would amount to 1.7 percent of the education budget in the nation's largest school district.

It only takes 1.7% to make liberals sell out? No wonder the economy is tanked.

An uptick in private school enrollment, Ed.

[Albion Wilde]

..." it was the threat of a loss of federal education dollars that provided the impetus convenient smokescreen for several school board members homosexualist activists."

Fixed it.

[Albion Wilde]

Schultz told LifeSiteNews.com that the board was wrong to postpone analyzing the regulations until the policy went into effect.

"We have to implement the policy to see what's in the policy."

San Francisco politics.

When you consider that Fairfax County is the most affluent county in the country, the school board may see this as a way to push thousands of kids into private schools and give more money to the leftist teachers.

Fairfax wouldn't have any problem raising the $42 million because the wealthy leftists would gladly fork it over "for the children." And a large segment of parents there could easily afford private schools for their kids.

One might ask what contingency plans the district has in place to be site that there are no “fakers” and do they have sufficient liability insurance to cover lethal costs in the event that a faker slips through, causing harm to another student. What is their plan for the potential legal liability if something goes wrong?

[Albion Wilde]

If, in the near future, there are well-publicized incidents of boys in girls’ bathrooms...

Such as:

Boys who "feel like they are girls" displaying their weenies and woodies to the actual girls in the locker room

Boys who "feel like they are girls" having consensual sexual intercourse with actual girls in the locker room, claiming they are lesbians

Boys who "feel like they are girls" having consensual sexual intercourse with one another in the locker room, claiming rights to First Amendment freedom of expression of "who they are"

Boys who "feel like they are girls" attempting to rape actual girls in the locker room, again claiming they are lesbians...

That sort of incident?

[Cowgirl of Justice]

They need to be tarred and feathered.

And the female board members should be forced to have men, who identify as female, in their bathroom stall while they tend to their feminine hygiene.

When you consider that Fairfax County is the most affluent county in the country, the school board may see this as a way to push thousands of kids into private schools and give more money to the leftist teachers.

Had the same thought. If enrollment were up, they would bleat about enrollment numbers and cost-per-pupil; but if enrollment drops, they will switch over to bleating about total budget dollars in order to extort the maximum from the taxpayer.

I don't know about Fairfax county, but when I was staying in NoVa recently, I couldn't help but notice the large numbers of what appeared to be lower-income hispanic persons in the Arlington and Fairfax shopping centers. Presumably they ride public transport to menial housekeeping and landscaping jobs among the affluent Democrats in the greater DC area. So even if the wealthy leave the Fairfax schools, I guess the school board is counting on a fresh supply of Democrats.
