A snippet from the Agency of Education's "Continuing Best Practices for Schools Regarding Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Students" outlining the use of restrooms and locker rooms by transgender students (from screenshot).

Sports and Physical Education

Transgender and gender nonconforming students are to be provided with the same opportunities to participate in physical education as are all other students. Generally, students should be permitted to participate in physical education and sports in accordance with the student's gender identity. Participation in competitive athletic activities and sports will be resolved on a case-by-case basis. Schools should refer to the Vermont Principal's Association Activities/Athletics Policies: Article 1 Section 2.

Restroom and Locker Room Accessibility

The use of restrooms and locker rooms by transgender students requires schools to consider numerous factors, including, but not limited to: the transgender student's preference; protecting student privacy; maximizing social integration of the transgender student; minimizing stigmatization of the student; ensuring equal opportunity to participate; the student's age; and protecting the safety of the students involved.

A transgender student should not be required to use a locker room or restroom that conflicts with the student's gender identity.

Schools may consider including gender neutral restrooms into the design of new construction and/or building renovation.

Gender Segregation in Other Areas

As a general rule, in any other circumstances where students are separated by gender in school activities (i.e. overnight field trips), students should be permitted to participate in accordance with their gender identity. Activities that may involve the need for accommodations to address student privacy concerns will be addressed on a case-by-case basis considering the factors set forth above.

No see - the story is a lie! The poor boy in the girls locker room didn’t say anything wrong - in fact he was bullied by the girls but that’s also a lie because the team worked great together for several weeks. We didn’t shut down the lockers for just the team we shut the lockers down for all the girls on the team.

It’s all fake news don’t you plebeians understand?!

The people implementing this are sick demented individuals. The non-conforming children are sick - sick in the head, as in unstable. They have quite serious mental disorders and what they need is serious treatment for their mental disorders disorder and not encouragement belief/feeling they are something they are not.

All this stuff can seem pretty complex, but I'll simplify it for those of you in Rio Linda.

If you know that almost all women are victims of sexual assault and need to be protected, and you also want to force them to share locker rooms and restrooms with men ... you might be a Democrat.

My only question is, why was this woman letting her son be mangled at age 14?

“The locker rooms were not shut down as a punishment or a consequence,” Millington said. “They were shut down really to kind of ensure student safety while the investigation is conducted, and the shutdown applied equally to all the members of the girls volleyball team.”

If that's the best this Millington Moron or the school can do they should shutter the doors and announce "We're too stupid to continue here!"

Sounds like a wildfire of sanity to me, on the face of it.

Got to love the thought process that came up with this one:

“A transgender student should not be required to use a locker room or restroom that conflicts with the student’s gender identity.”

So if they think they are a girl, don’t force them to be around boys.

But what about the girls on this volleyball team who are being forced to change around a boy?

What a sick world!

Good, this is the kind of push back needed to start to bring this insanity to and end. Negative peer pressure instead of the fawning attention given to these poor confused souls.

Good!

No tranny” should be treated as the opposite sex until and unless they have had the surgery to change that.

People need to use facilities based on how they are actually, physically equipped, not how they claim they “feeeelllll”.

LGBTQ+ youth in Vermont “experience violence and the constant threat of harm daily,” said Dana Kaplan, executive director of Outright Vermont, an LGBTQ+ advocacy organization that supports and provides resources for queer and transgender students and families statewide.

I call BS on that unless they are the ones starting the bullying.

But then, like all bullies, they provoke and then go whining to the authorities as if they are the victim.

“It’s been an absolute nightmare. Horrifying. My family is in constant pain from the lies and harassment,” said the mother of the 14-year-old student, who attends Randolph Union High School.“

It’s all your fault, mom, for indulging your child’s delusion instead of properly educating them.

These should all quit the school team and start their own private, hetero team.

The mentally ill young man can be a team of one.

Why not separate schools for wacky trannies and let them compete against themselves?

Sounds like the poor kid needs to be taken away from mommy dearest. Maybe he could recover if he spent a year or two around normal people.

A phobic person. phobic adjective. Relating to a phobia. phobic adjective. Used to describe a political or cultural view opposed to the norm..... as defined by the observer

***************************************************************

Based upon the definition above, and nothing else, I think tens of millions of us are indeed “transphobic”.

We might as well stop letting The Left, and the media, use us for a punching bag on the subject.

The kid should be ostracized. It is how civilization and civil society maintains itself. He is NOT normal. And being a transgender is NOT healthy.
