LOL. I guess they’ll use color-coded name tags.

Why can’t schools just have a blanket non-harassment policy? I don’t think any child (who is behaving properly) ahould have to go to school and worry about bullies.

Folks, you’re all lumping “gender” and “sex” under one category when they are really quite distinct. Sex is indeed biological; it’s determined by your hormone balance, primary and secondary sex characteristics, and other physiological functions. Gender, on the other hand, are those culturally stereotypical attributes that we assign to sexes, i.e. it is masculine to play football and feminine to cook. Thus, an individual can be a man but identify his behavior as being feminine, thus the concept of “transgender” was born. Of course, what defines gender behaviors is very culturally defined and thus highly subjective. I find such categories to be quite limiting and beside the point that they’re human beings who will live their lives in the way they see fit.

The shape of the package between your legs is neither culturally defined nor highly subjective.

Boys in skirts demanding to use the girls' restrooms and locker rooms is an unreasonable imposition on the girls.

Period.

S/he/it/they didn’t last long, did s/he/it/they?

VoiceOf(un)Reason - you should spend weeks and weeks reading FR, you obviously have your head full of lies and nasty propaganda. I used to be young and my head was full of crap too, but you can learn the truth and you’ll be happier for it.
