Controversy rises over transgenders in high school girls’ locker rooms

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - Parents and students are pushing back against transgender students being allowed to change in girls’ locker rooms in the Washoe County School District.

“He also gets a front-row seat to view naked females,” said a woman, who’s granddaughter attends Spanish Springs High School.

“Girls feel uncomfortable in locker rooms under any circumstances, but especially when they have to share the space with someone who is biologically different from them at birth,” added a student at Spanish Springs High School, who is directly impacted by a boy, who identifies as a girl, changing in her locker room.

“Children are facing gender dysphoria or experiencing gender dysphoria, which is a mental health condition, at an enormously growing rate,” said a woman who advocates for protecting children.

“A minor cannot have a sip of alcohol, that’s good. But in Washoe County schools right now a minor male can change in the locker room in front of minor females,” said one parent during public comment.

On Tuesday, August 27th, the Washoe County School Board of Trustees heard multiple public comments from worried grandparents, parents and girls at Spanish Springs High School, who say they are uncomfortable with undressing next to someone who identifies as female.

“High school is a formative time where students are grappling with their identity and self-image. The addition of trans women in a women’s locker room can lead to confusion or anxiety amongst females who may feel they are in a situation that doesn’t align with their understanding of gender.”

Despite the complaints, the district says these individuals are protected under the law. Administrative Regulation 5161 allows students to have access to use locker rooms that correspond to their gender identity

Coming soon to a public school near you. The school boards are filled with leftists. Good for parents pushing back

I always thought Reno was relatively conservative.

Back in the day a couple of fathers would have gladly provided some late night adjustments to both the student and the faculty.

I miss those days.

This isn’t about boys and girls.

This, and all the other craziness, is about testing the level of compliance in our society, and separating the compliant from the non-compliant.

What will happen to the non-compliant has yet to be revealed.

Controversy rises over transgenders transvestites in high school girls’ locker rooms

Let's stop using their terminology. A boy is a boy even if he dresses like a girl.

What’s the big deal if some “girls” get an erection in the girls locker room?

Public schools are a 19th century paradigm that outlived its usefulness in the early 21st century. It’s primary function today is to supply free daycare to parents that have sold themselves into indentured slavery.

FWIW, IMO, just using https://www.khanacademy.org/ will give your kids a FAR better education than any kid that gets a public K-12 education, and in half the time.

All they have to do is stay away. Boycott, skip the class, don’t give in, they can break the school.

How would those female teachers feel if a man dropped trou in front of them with an erection - if he ‘identifies’ as a woman?

this should be done at the next school board meeting.

So how much does “controversy “ really matter?

Identify as gender fluid and start following the female board members into the ladies room.

Like that obese hairy man who pledged a sorority and the females had to tolerate HIM getting an erection and using a pillow to cover it.

It’s sickens me that there is a controversy. The correct answer is: Not no, but hell no.

These people are supposed to be educators. How can they suddenly en masse accept and promote the bs trans agenda? It’s similar to the recording of many different news commentators reading the exact same script about how honest and un-scripted they are. No, some parent group needs to wail on one or two of the rule makers to get their attention. Trans protesters and advocates should be strongly “counter protested”, if you know what I mean. Why let this insanity go unchecked? Afraid someone might call you names?

America’s public school system has been taken over by marxists and central planners

It needs to be dismantled.

Boys in the girl’s shower rooms should be allowed ONLY after the boys are castrated with a knife. No anesthetic. No chemical castration.
This will separate the real boys from the girl wannabees.

Most of the locker rooms situations involved sports.

REFUSE to participate in sports.

I put some of the blame on the students. When I was in high school way back in the mid 1980s the students would never tolerate something like this. We would have put an end to it real fast. There were homosexuals in the school and nobody bothered them as long as they didn't cross the line. This type of perversion crosses the line. I wouldn't let any guy get naked next to my sister or girlfriend just because he wears a skirt. I guess today's kids are too tolerant of other people's feelings. They put those feelings above what's right.

This is also about an opportunity to teach an object lesson to pathetic sheep who haven’t yet figured out that government schools have no place in a free nation.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
