Homeschooling. Another option.
Nice try.

I have talked trans women before. I know several non binary kids. It doesn’t change anything. There is a reason why women and girls have needed to have private bathrooms and changing rooms segregated by sex up until this recent push.

Are you saying adults are too stupid to teach their own kids how to read and do math?

That as an adult, it would be too difficult a task to do? Seriously?

You've never met a homeschool parent.

Get. Out. Of. Your. Social. Feedback. Loop.

Get real already.

Have you ver talked to women who have been sexually assaulted by men? There is a reason why many women want to keep bathrooms and changing rooms segregated by sex. Very valid safety reasons.

I have no issue with a man dressing as a woman, I do have an issue of him forcing women to allow men into their private rooms.

The last conversation I had with a trans woman, she told me how all this nonsense is just stupid. Oh, and hates the medical forms/pronoun garbage.

Your point?

So are serial killers.

Want one in the stall next to you? I hear that they are very ambitious and motivated.

If you’re a woman you will be soon sharing these spaces with men. If you have daughters, your daughters will be sharing spaces with men too. If you have a have a girlfriend or a wife, she will be sharing these spaces with men.

It will impact everyone eventually, unless people speak up.
Honestly, I don’t care about sharing a bathroom with trans folks or people of the opposite sex.
I know my husband and adult children wouldn’t care either. And I know how my family thinks. All of us had coed bathrooms in university and it was a non issue. They all lived in coed living situation and shared a lot more than bathrooms.
I fully expect my grandchild to have the same experience and not be traumatized by it. the bathroom in the preschool is coed- with the stall doors wide open, I might add, and lots of interesting conversations about bodily function amount the toddlers. I’m sure you can imagine.
I’m fine with that continuing throughout their school years and beyond.
No one has been in jail and it’s not likely so not staying up at night worried about it.
I fully understand that this is a big deal for others.
Definitely you should speak up if it impacts you.
I’m not fighting your fight.

Walkouts? Our fathers would have beat us silly.

Wow,
And are you doing the same with your children?

No one in my house or any other house I played or hung out in has ever threatened to beat anyone silly. Especially for leaving high school school unauthorized.
Maybe it’s regional.
