I should know better than to wonder if you had a credible link to any of your statements. I guess it's just that so many people come in here spouting off things where they have no idea and like to make things up. I hope this is a lesson about the veracity of your claims for all of us..
My reading of the article at the link doesn't indicate that transgender students can be prohibited from using restrooms and locker rooms; simply that they have the option to separate by sex at birth, or by some other means. I also don't see any indication of a requirement for setting aside locations for exclusive use of cis students. Can you help me out with what I missed on that one? Personally, I don't think it's unreasonable for schools to be required to notify parents of their restroom/locker-room policy, although I think that all schools regardless of policy should have to provide that notification. Only requiring notification for certain restroom policies demonstrates a clear favoritism, and that should not be permitted.
Thank you for this additional link. I wish the news organizations reporting this information actually provided (or had the ability to provide) links to the actual text of the school board rules. I know that there was nothing like that (accommodating uncomfortable cis students) in the original "Parental bill of rights" law that was passed back in March. This feels like quite the overreach by the school board.
The politicians generally leave the language in these bills vague for a reason. It gives openings for drastic (read: the preferred) interpretation, and also creates an environment of fear, so people will self-regulate out of fear and anxiety.
Here's a policy. All students have equal access to school facilities. Nothing more. The "notification" meant in reality that schools are required to tell parents if trans kids are allowed to use facilities. So that bigots can show up at school board screaming.
DeSantis vs. Crist (one and only) debate this evening. We're in FL, so I'll get to watch. Good times.
