The overriding issue here is that the school system has made it clear that if ANY person undergoes gender reassignment the school system won't notify the parents.
Let's say that a male teacher "decides" he's a woman and puts on a dress, should he be allowed in the girl's locker room?
I agree with you that the school system handled this very poorly. Plus, the teacher considering it “a private issue” is difficult to accept.
I think the law in some ststed is yes
This was exactly my point. Tragic medical condition, but handled very poorly by both school and teacher to the detriment of the kids. It’s unfortunate that the teacher got caught up in her situation and only thought about the negative ramifications to her (i.e., being “outed” by the kids who saw her at the movies) and didn’t think through the ramifications to the rest of the kids. The school is culpable here. They should have been thinking more clearly, even when the teacher wasn’t. I don’t fault the teacher for her choice, just how she chose to implement it.
I express no support for the school but this particular individual has been medically wronged and is simply doing the right thing to try to approximate what she truly is by birth.
