Ok I just looked it up, and there are technically policies protecting trans students.
However it's only about anti-harassment, and if the student wants access to a neutral bathroom/locker room, the parents have to be involved in the decision. Nothing on names/pronouns from what I see.
oh
Wait the parents have to be involved?? what about closeted kids who can't be out at home??
Exactly
I'm that kid but I've never asked for gender space related accommodations. I took gym online and just try to use the restroom during class when no one is in there.
also this whole conversation reminds me of a girl I know who is very transphobic, and it's bc one of her friends at public school heard another girl get raped in the girls' bathroom by a guy. so clearly trans women are at fault bc otherwise the guy could never have gotten in (insert a massive eyeroll here) and now the school doesn't allow trans kids to use their preferred bathroom, and has fucking guards/teachers/something at the doors to the bathrooms to enforce the rule
like. i feel so bad about this girl who got raped. but at the same time. it is not the fault of trans women that a cis dude went into the women's bathroom.

Exactly. It's shirking the responsibility of men to do something about rape culture by blaming it on an already marginalized community.
It sucks that public restroom aren't safe tho. I hope that girl is doing well now.

Well the argument goes that normalization of different sexes in opposite bathrooms will make it easier for rapists which seems reasonable. Not that trans folks will be at fault for that -though that is what some believe- but yeah. Obviously sex segregation has never stopped rapists but it does make sense that people will take advantage of it

sir. cis men can and do go into women's bathrooms anyway. women get raped all the time by men. men get raped by men. whether or not trans people can go into the bathrooms they prefer has pretty much zero impact on rape, bc it happens anyways, and I hate that that is a true sentence
fuck the patriarchy
yeah i was venting, my apologies if it seemed like I was attacking/angry with you! I know what you were saying, and I still stand by everything I said
Oh okay thanks
I think this is a complex issue like everything else that a lot of people miss the nuance of, instead turning to simple political talking points and generalities. I’m honestly not even sure where I stand on this issue
why do bathrooms need to be gendered? just have a nice hall of unisex/fam bathrooms with properly closing and locking doors. Stalls are bs anyways, too many stories of wide cracks and kids crawling under the doors and stuff. Plus, avoids awkward situations that involve noise like opening products, crying children, and other bodily functions that can be embarrassingly loud.
1 people get awkward
2 men are horrid
if only we had money to build nicer areas like in schools…
On that topic I want to be rude to my city's education department for trying to pass useless bills like trying to put multiple cameras in each schoolroom instead of lowering the teacher-student ratio or employing councilors and sped teachers , fixing the teacher shortage (instead they let go a bunch of teachers for their political leanings), or rebuilding the corrupt administration that is trying to remove teacher's lunch and planning periods so they can sub for no pay.
i hate that there are so many men that think getting kicked in the balls is literally more painful than fucking childbirth like sir. wtf
In their defence. Ball kicks are profound pain and we haven't even felt cramps
yes. but. is getting kicked in the nads more painful than pushing an entire fucking human out of you?? i feel like logically, no
tiktoks about stimming/adhd need to stop being so relatable and calling me out for thinking that aspects of my adhd were just part of my personality and it was a me problem not a mental imbalance problem–
Lmao same
Same vibe as finding out so much of my personality is based in trauma 10/10 lame get some originality
help my dad just referred to a woman as a "female" and i physically cringed
Pot roast the cat is dead and I no longer want to exist
Wretched Radio is just Christian Rush Limbaugh
God the fucking audacity of some people. Wow. Very mature kiddo. I feel like shit and I don't even know what I did and I want to complain so bad but I don't have anyone to complain to so here I am
I've only heard two Cavetown songs (Boys Will Be Bugs and Devil Town) and they were both good. Liked Boys Will Be Bugs more, but both are a little slow for me.
Cavetown isn't bad but it's just not my style of music is that anti-gay of me to say lmao
