Can I ask why we need to do this?
I don’t understand all of the “LGBT” agenda issues, obviously.
But, it occurs to me that this stuff has no place in schools.

If someone really feels like a girl in a boy’s body and all of that, stow it until you are legally an adult. Then, go explore with the mental health professionals and doctors as to what your condition is.

I just see no need to deal with any of this in school with school age children.
Flame away.
“children rejecting the birth gender at younger ages”
No flames from me-kids should not even be allowed to reject oatmeal for breakfast at a “young age”, much less their gender. Parents who don’t know the first thing about the basic workings of a child’s mind, and want to be a friend rather than a parent are the problem-not gender issues.
A few conversations with the kid, explaining the difference between boys and girls, gently standing them in front of a full length mirror at bath time, having them see why they are the gender they are, and acknowledge that gender would do a world of good-they will get over this attention getting fixation soon enough, as long as they are not screamed at and scolded. And be sure to remove them from the influence of adults encouraging this look-at-me-behavior-I’d get an attorney, if it came to that.
Buying a book or two on parenting that was published before around 2000, and reading it several times should provide some lessons in proper parenting, as well...
Once the kid is 18-an adult-they can do whatever they want, and the consequences and expenses of their choices are theirs.
MrT5 was stationed in SanFran during his military career, and I certainly agree that the Castro district is the perfect place for a homosexual or gender-confused young adult to explore their options-talk about being scared straight...
