"A school may not require transgender students to use facilities inconsistent with their gender identity or to use individual-user facilities when other students are not required to do so."
Emphasis mine. So the teachers are not supposed to "single out" the transgendered students.
I didn't say require them to use those bathrooms, I said allow them to use those bathrooms. How is giving them another option for bathrooms singling anyone out??
Oh, yay, a designated place for teenage oral sex at school - because that is exactly what will happen.
Seriously, how are you going to monitor it? As an adult female, I value living outside a penal institution too much to ever risk being in a restroom or locker room with a child or children who have body parts different than my own
The real solution is single user restroom facilities in every classroom. They’ve put them in most kindergarten classes, many special education classrooms, and quite a few primary classes. It is past time for them to be in every classroom. It would solve a multitude of discipline issues.
That’s exactly what I saying.
In the same area, they have separate restrooms for males and females that are marked as such - and then there is a third, single user restroom with a sign of a male and female put together.
You are not forced to use this third kind of restroom.
Locally a girl identifying as a male wanted to use the boys locker room and the school okayed it.(!) Some male students fought it and I think its still being kicked around in court but as far as I know its been okayed by the district and upheld by at least one lower court.
They had an option of changing in another area. This is in the Boyertown Pa school district.
Mental illness is a medical condition. It's depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, etc., things that can be treated. Gender confusion and homosexuality are not mental illnesses.
Grouping pedophilia in there is a blatant attempt to compare two entirely different things. You think it's clever, I presume. Pedophilia is not a mental illness and I don't think you really want it to be. It's a criminal act pure and simple and those freaks need to pay for their crimes, not spend time in an institution talking about their feelings.
The Mayo Clinic describes mental health this way
So the individual in this case may have depression or anxiety from his confusion or anxiety over how people react to him that he needs help with, but the possible mental illness here would not be his gender identity.
I didn't say require them to use those bathrooms, I said allow them to use those bathrooms. How is giving them another option for bathrooms singling anyone out??
It’s special treatment. Boys are boys and girls are girls. Problem solved.
I can only speak for me, but I hope she wins the lawsuit. Some people want an either/or world eaning some posters in this thread want to end this "transgender nonsense" once and for all. There has to be some middle ground for kids who genuinely feel like they have been born into the wrong body. But I don't believe it is sharing the same bathroom. The girl has a right to change into where she feels comfortable. I don't pretend to hav the answers, but this isn't it.
Stop making sense. Making sense is discriminating! And evil.

Too simple. Read this (or try to. Gets into heavy duty weird pretty quick.)
"A school may, however, make individual-user options available to all students who voluntarily seek additional privacy."
Emphasis mine. So a school MAY offer uncomfortable students a private bathroom to change or whatever, but they're not obligated to.
Even if they did, can you imagine the lines?
The point is that self-selected "transgenders" with no proof of the validity of their claim cannot be required to use an individual use school locker/shower room unless all students are required to do so.
Perhaps you can make an attempt to come up with a solution?
It's really not that difficult. If you have a penis, you change with other people with penises. If you have a vagina, you change with other people with vaginas.
Now, can we move along to important issues, instead of trying to justify boys in the girls locker room?
"A school may not require transgender students to use facilities inconsistent with their gender identity or to use individual-user facilities when other students are not required to do so."

The trannies have singled themselves out, not the school.
It's getting to the point where ALL the boys should claim they identify as girls and all the girls claim they identify as boys and just switch locker rooms. Get ahead of the stupid.
I didn't say require them to use those bathrooms, I said allow them to use those bathrooms. How is giving them another option for bathrooms singling anyone out??
The transgendered aren't looking to have a private changing room, they want to change with the girls. To merely be offered a separate room would be considered by the transgendered, their parents, and their lawyers, as being singled out.
