So, if a boy "believes" he is a girl, but physically is a boy, that boy is allowed to use the girls bathroom. And, apparently, will not be required to show any medical "proof" of a disorder... So, how about if a child, "believes" he or she is a teacher. Will they be able to use the teacher's bathroom? Or, how about if a child "believes" he or she is a dog? Will they be entitled to have a fire hydrant placed in the school or workplace? Where does this stop? What is the difference?

It doesn't. I just posted a link. City of Houston employees can use whatever bathroom they choose based on their gender affiliation.
"We are simply codifying, putting in writing, what has been the city's long-standing practice; we do not discriminate," she said.
..
"Forcing women, in particular, using city facilities to be subjected to cross-dressing men invading their privacy is beyond the pale and offensive to every standard of decency," said Pastor Steve Riggle, senior pastor of Grace Community Church and an executive committee member of HAPC."
WOW! Texans must be outraged that the mayor defied the wishes of the people who repeatedly voted against this action. I guess there's a Gender Agenda!

What is so difficult for you to believe about asking a person?

They dictate to the public as they see fit.
And this is the precise reason why our public schools are not performing - no accountability.

The real problem with public schools is that everyone is busy with their own life and thinks "other people" will deal with it.
There are parents who have spent countless hours trying to enact change in the public school systems but the unions are much more influential.
And again..this is why homeschooling is becoming more popular.
The voice of the majority of the people are not being heard.
If the "voice of the majority" was not being heard, most kids would be home-schooled.
