A northern New Jersey school district has voted to adopt a policy allowing transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms based on their gender identity.
The Pascack Valley Regional High School District voted 6-1 to pass a policy they say is designed to protect transgender students' rights. The district said the policy is needed to comply with anti-discrimination laws.

Rest rooms have a lot of potential for abuse, with people you haven't seen before using them and women likely to be alone and vulnerable in them. It's a bad idea all around.
Transgenderism is strictly a figment of the imagination.
It in no way confers rights.
Put a couple of rows of gender neutral porta-johns in the parking lot for the staff and students to use. Problem solved,
Let the law suits begin.
When we are forced to fight over access to bathrooms and locker rooms we have already lost the fight. We need to attack the whole premise that is driving this: so-called “transgenderism.” Before anything else is said we must insist that a person’s sex is a biological category, period. “Transgenderism” is a mental disorder where someone refuses to accept the reality of what sex one is. WORDS HAVE A GENDER, PEOPLE HAVE A SEX. We are male or female according our biological sex, not according to what we want to be. We need to insist on this before we address any other questions.
I guess the rights of normal people don’t matter.
Seriously, how many transgendered students are in the whole state?
This is a boon for every high school boy who has tried to devise schemes to catch glimpses of naked female students. Now they can walk openly into bathrooms and locker rooms and stare.
I wonder how many female students will be assaulted and possibly raped before the wrong-headedness of this new policy becomes clear even to the most obtuse?
If that that policy was in place when I was in high school most of the boys would have identified as girls.
Before or after the boys learn that they can shower with the girls?
I wonder how many transgenders are men vs women? Just looks like a way for the naughty boys to finally get in the girl’s bathroom. Had I a daughter in that school...we’d make a family decision to move.
Move to where? This is going statewide. What you’ll have to do is send your kid to a school that doesn’t get federal funds such as a private school or home school them.
For thousands of years women and men had their own places to go, now thanks to an enlightened generation all that is thrown out the window.
Sooner or late we're going to see someone acting out the old joke about being a lesbian trapped in a man's body. After all, if we normalize transgenderism, we will next have to accept that trans people can be authentically gay, i.e. biological men identifying as women who, as gay transgenders, are sexually attracted to other women.
I have probably just proposed a brand new field of gender studies. There is field research to be done, dissertations to be written, demonstrations to be held, whole academic departments to be formed, and thousands of new deans and administrators to be hired.
I would have pretended to be gay to get into the girl's shower.
Then I'd be "I'M CURED!".
May I be gross for a minute? I sure don’t want to be in the stall next to a man who is having a bowel movement. Men tend to be a bit more.....shall we say ‘prolific’ in their movements than women. Correct me if I’m off base here.
That is what I’ve been wondering. Are there just a handful or hundreds or thousands?
