I am thrilled that we have the chance to support our transgender peers and students. From my understanding, all that is being asked for is respect, and for others to hold their judgement, and yet many seem so opposed to supporting transgender students, that it is more evident than ever that they need protection. These are children and they are being discriminated against, and that is not okay. I strongly support the proposed legislation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I go to a magnet school for the arts and technology, one that is very welcoming and supportive of every student, no matter their gender or sexuality. However, I attended a school beforehand where too many students openly bullied transgender kids on the basis of them being trans. I myself never experienced harassment or bullying based on my gender as I didn't come out until I left said school, but that does not mean I was blind to what my peers went through. I often hear some of my fellow transgender and non-binary students at my current school speak about the horrific bullying and harassment they received at their former schools. This should not be okay. Every student should be able to get their education in a space where they feel safe. This proposed rule will make Virginia a better place to learn in than ever before, and I thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all. Sincerely, Cas Myrick\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

In addition it disregards the sensitivities of teachers, administrators and students whose religious faith or conscience prevents to from accepting the “transgender” ideology. All people regardless of their inclinations are entities safety and freedom from bullying and prejudice, but this proposed policy is extreme and unacceptable.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have put a few points of major concern, but they are in no way an exhaustive list of concerns & grievances: There is a lack of expertise from key figures. I see many school officials & pro-LGBTQ+ groups being asked for their expertise, but no outreach for expertise from non-academia related doctors & psychologists. Science experts that attest to gender/sex as binary are also missing from comments. This should have been a collaborative effort from all sides of the aisle to form model policies that seriously effect the safety, health, and overall well-being of our children & students. I do not see any resources or proof that gender affirming & transitioning policies have any positive effect on the long-term psychological well-being of transgender individuals. In fact, studies actually show there may not be any positive effects, so why would a Dept of Education be promoting these policies without ample proof. Here are some sobering statistics: 90% of transgender research subjects are lost to follow-up, so no one knows how many go back to identifying as their birth gender (Paper Genders by Walt Heyer) Paul McHugh, MD cites a study that found that individuals who had had transgender surgery were about 5 times more likely than the control group to attempt suicide and almost 20 times more likely to succeed (What Percentage of Transgenders Regret Surgery by Susan Ciancio) There are already numerous existing laws and policies that protect all individuals from abuse, harassment, bullying, discrimination, etc. More policies are not needed, unless they are trying to restrict the freedoms and liberties of others that are adversely affected by the application of such policies. These policies usurp & undermine the parents’ authority of all the students. Here are a few examples of how the parent is purposely left out of important decisions for their child’s mental health & development on both sides of the issues: For the mental health of the student wanting to change, why would the parent not be notified of a huge life altering decision. As we all know, children need the support of their parents to succeed at most anything in life. The parents are paying the taxes used to fund the schools & salaries of all involved. By this, are you asking a child to live a double life? Be different at home than at school. What are the long-term effects on the child for living like this? “School divisions will need to consider the health and safety of the student in situations where students may not want their parents to know about their transgender status … There are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student’s request to affirm their gender identity...” (Recommended Standard, p.12) Children exposed to the opposite biological gender in locker rooms have safety concerns & rights too. Not telling parents or even the students that the opposite biological gender will be in the bathroom/locker room that doesn’t align with their biological gender is harmful & damaging. At the least, it would be wise for parents to advise their children about something they are unfamiliar with and be able to have a healthy discussion. Somewhere in the middle, the biological female having to undress in front of a biological male can be damaging especially if the female is not mentally ready for the opposite biological gender to see them fully or partially unclothed (and vice versa). At the most, what if there is known or unknown sexual or physical abuse perpetrated by a member of the opposite biological gender? That student will face irreputable mental harm & potentially danger if shared bathrooms/locker rooms are to be used. A parent & child must have an opportunity to address the myriad of issues/problems with each other, school officials, medical professionals etc. “In addition to adhering to all legal standards of confidentiality, school personnel shall treat information relating to a student’s transgender status as being particularly sensitive, shall not disclose it to other students and parents, and shall only disclose to other school personnel with a legitimate educational interest.” (Draft Policy, p.12) Disciplining a student based on an incident or complaint without a parent present or notified carries significant ramifications. Just because a school wants to have such authority, it cannot ignore the child’s due process guaranteed by the Constitution. Police do not even have this authority, why would we give it to school administrators? Parents cannot be held legally and/or monetarily responsible for an incident or complaint if they weren’t involved. If the discipline requires the child to not attend school or ride school transportation, the parent cannot take time off from work or drive a child to & fro without being involved. This is utterly absurd to involve parents only when the incident or complaint rises to legal/criminal levels as the below language infers. “Any incident or complaint of discrimination, harassment, or bullying shall be given prompt attention, including investigating the incident and taking appropriate corrective action, by the school administrator. …The [School Division’s Designated Contact] shall be available to hear concerns from students or parents when complaints are not resolved at the school level.” (Draft Policy, p.10) The burden these policies will put on our teachers and school administrators is too high. As a parent, student, & teacher, I would need to know the exact levels of discipline for each infraction listed. Since gender identification is subjective & the number of students that are in our schools, it is virtually impossible to keep track of the preferences. On a personal level, yes, you would try very hard to be accurate. We are not talking personal level; we are talking mandated perfection among a populous famous for finding t...

The issue is not whether enforcing this proposal will cause the issue of transgender acceptance and normality to rise or fall; more scientific findings are released, revealing the actual biology supporting non-binary sexuality and identity, and the discussion of transgender/non-cisgender identities are thankfully more and more routine.  The issue for me is that we create a culture of inclusivity and safety in our schools, for it's from that place of safety and inclusion that students will be able to learn and perform.  For trans and non-binary students, this does NOT happen when we force them into sex-based dress codes, activities, pronouns, etc.  The discussion of sexuality, gender, identity, and orientation is (clearly) a complicated one, but we can ensure students are provided safety, kindness, compassion, and inclusion FIRST, so that they then are positioned to access and engage with the academic requirements of school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The key guiding principle of the model policies is that all children have a right to learn, free from discrimination and harassment. I support these principles and policies. 1) At this point in our cultural evolution, we can not stop adolescents and young adults from questioning their sexuality, and making decisions about who they are and how they identify themselves. 2) Our ultimate goal is to support children so they grow into confident adults who feel included, loved, and supported. Anyone who feels \"different\" and is made to feel different than others, ends up growing up in a much more challenging manner than when they are given a safe and supportive place to grow and learn. 3) The American Academy of Pediatrics (2018) also acknowledged that, “variations in gender identity and expression are normal aspects of human diversity.” Whether or not a person agrees with this diversity, we must support all of our children, and this model is developed with science, facts, best practices and can evolve as we all learn more.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a nonbinary student in a supportive environment, I'm extremely grateful for the kind, considerate actions of my friends, classmates, and school. Everyone should be able to learn in safe, understanding school environments, no matter who they are or what they're dealing with. Gender is fluid and dynamic, and no one should feel rooted to one strict answer for the rest of their lives. More empathetic rules like this would encourage trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary students to explore themselves and not feel threated or trapped by bureaucratic systems without any room for them. I felt comfortable explaining my relationship to gender and expressing it at school, and I wish that for everyone. My school feels like an accepting, welcoming place, and I have a much better relationship with education as a result than I would otherwise. This should be the case for everyone. Sincerely, Kat Brinkman (they/them)\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Self-identification cannot be the measure by which we make broad-sweeping policy, especially regarding children whose brains are not fully developed. Our current societal elites (media and entertainment powers) have thrown many youth into confusion. It is entirely possible to love and respect people without making broad policies which give legitimacy to a biological impossibility. None of this even addresses the preferences of the VAST majority of people who prefer not to use the bathroom with someone of the opposite sex, and prefer not to intermingle males and females in athletic competition. And let us not make broad, sweeping policy based on minute percentages of people who have intersex biological exceptions. These anomalies are quite obviously being used to justify and rationalize perfectly biological males and females who believe and/or wish to be the opposite sex. At some point in life, mature people know when to stop talking and when to get real.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a parent I am appalled that my young children would be subjected to the proposed situations and be uncomfortable, especially my daughter.  She should not have to fear going into the bathroom or locker room to change clothes with a boy because that's what he/she/they/it identify as that day.  This is a disgusting world our children unfortunately have to grow up in and they are losing their innocence so quickly, especially with these proposed guidelines.  As a Christian woman I teach my children to be accepting and love everyone but I draw the line when they are made to be uncomfortable to meet a political driven agenda.  If these guidelines pass my children will absolutely not be enrolled in VA public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Yet the policy appears to do more harm than good in that it appears to silence the voices and ideas and concerns /feelings of others , removing the possibility for thoughtful dialogue intended to help out other positive & often proven solutions. There are other ways to address our desires for the transgenders safety and ability to grow/learn & flourish without restricting the rights and ideas of others.

They should be allowed to learn in an environment free of discrimination. Students that are trans are already at risk of higher rates of self-harm and suicide than their cisgender classmates, and 40% of youth experiencing houselessness in the US identify as LGBTQIA+. These statistics represent hurdles that our trans youth face already, and this policy is a step in the right direction for creating a more inclusive environment for ALL students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These policies (1) trample parental rights and responsibilities, (2) deny girls their rights for safety in schools, and (3) deny both faculty and students their rights regarding matters of conscience, subjecting them to harassment and discrimination for simply holding their beliefs and convictions. (1) The proposed policies trample parents’ legal rights, plus their parental responsibility, when school employees help students explore and make decisions about expressions of gender identity without notifying the parent.  These are personal discussions and decisions that belong in families, not in schools.   Also, these policies would wrongly prohibit schools from notifying parents if a biological male is using the same changing facility (designated for girls) as their daughter.  Also, parents would wrongly not be notified that their child is being interrogated by school officials for allegedly violating these policies. (2) Under these policies, all students would be allowed to use any bathroom or locker room they choose, without being questioned by school faculty or administrators, jeopardizing both the privacy and safety of other students who have no say in the matter.  This violation of girls’ rights to privacy on restrooms and locker rooms is astonishing.   We have separate restroom and locker rooms in the first place expressly because we recognize that girls and boys are biologically, physically different and both have rights to the privacy of their bodies.  These rights are not granted by government; they can only be recognized – or in this case, denied – by governments.  Forcing girls to accept the presence of biological boys in these rooms is a blatant disregard for their legal and moral rights.  No girl or woman should have to endure the violation of being seen by a biological male against her will while she is in any state of undress. (3)  There are no exceptions or accommodations for a student or teacher whose religious faith, conscience, or understanding of biology and sociology differs from  “transgender” ideology.  This is coercion of belief, and it is unconstitutional.  The rights of parents to hold and teach their own beliefs about sexuality and gender to their children would also be violated if/when the parents themselves are at risk for being reported for child abuse or neglect by the school – not for any true abuse or neglect, but for simply holding and teaching their own constitutionally protected beliefs and convictions. I do not approve of these guidelines.  They are based on philosophically tenuous theories that ignore observable, objective biology (the biological sex of a baby is observed – not assigned -- at birth with a visual examination of a physical body).  We can be compassionate with children whose self-view of their sexuality is based on feelings without violating the rights of others.  These policies erase all differences and distinctions between male and female and indoctrinate our school children in beliefs in a subject area that is beyond the proper sphere of public education.  These policies threaten both adults and children, both faculty and students, with harassment and discrimination for holding any other beliefs.  This verges on criminalizing beliefs, despite conscience and religious conviction, and it is deeply concerning to me as a citizen of the Commonwealth of Virginia.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

By allowing this behavior in the schools you are only encouraging more children to be sexually assaulted .  Your are allowing children to feel uncomfortable and to not feel safe . The main focus of their education is thrown out the window because now it becomes a social issue. In schools there are dress codes to keep the children focused. Girls can’t show breast , stomach or the rears . It is a distraction for boys and for boys they can not wear cut off sleeves or to tight of clothing that would be distracting to girls . BUT you all want them to be able to change in the same locker rooms or go to the same bathrooms . Not only will you have an increase in sexual activity but the teenage pregnancy  rate is going to go through the roof  and also the stds. Why because you are allowing a place for these actions to occur.   Instead of worrying about what gender someone wants to be, how about we put God back in our schools .  If we put God first these issues would not arise . God did not make us to decide if we want to be male or female .  I am strongly disagreeing with these actions and if you pass them I hope and pray that the children that become victims sue you and that you lose sleep over how many incident children are harmed because of the decisions you have made .\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If passed in its current form, this is not acceptable in any way at all. I could point out the many issues with each point in the model, but I would certainly hope those voting can foresee the trouble that is brewing. I will address on point as a parent/grandparent....\"All students being allowed to use any bathroom or locker room they choose, without being questioned by any school administrator or faculty\" is a HUGE PROBLEM for me. I have school age children of each sex. My girl should not be in the bathroom with someone who happens to be \"identifying as a girl that day\". If you can't see the possible potential dangers of this, then you all need to take more time to explore the situation. I also don't want my boy using the bathroom as a child walks in that is choosing to identify as a boy that day. We need to be open minded about many things, but we also need to keep moral, values and protect EVERYONE, not just those we are trying to include. This world of inclusion has confused many a child and adult. May we all see the light before the light to this world in snuffed out. Sadly, if we continue in this direction I think many more people need to think about private schools & home schooling or relocation to another state!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We are supportive of student's having the right to individual bathrooms but we are not supportive of giving students access to the bathroom of their choice.  This situation is not respectful of other student's mental health concerns, including my daughter.  I love all students.  But, enforcing a statewide policy is not loving.  We have to meet children where they are individually.  Please put resources where they are most needed.  I would say this is not the area.

It is corrupt at the very core in that it promotes unhealthy behavior, supports deception and false information, and provides the opportunity for unlawful abuse.  It goes against the very purpose of public education and the states role in protecting the citizens.  It is a privilege to have public schools, but it is the duty of the schools to provide a good education, provide a safe environment, and assist the students to becoming responsible adults.  The transgender legislation does not support the parents that are providing the physical, emotional and financial support of the their children that are attending the schools. The public schools need to provide a safe environment for all students.  The educational requirements need to be aligned with the emotional and physical health of the students.  How can we expect children to grow up into mature, law abiding, moral adults if we train them that the science and biology is subject to your opinion or belief and that deceit is the best way for them to resolve their family issues? Aren't our children going to be tomorrow's leaders? Why would we make laws that teach them that their biological DNA is subject to their opinions if that's what they want to believe or that deceit is a resolution when the answer is not what you want? Law makers are put in a position of authority to protect and keep the citizens safe and healthy.  This begins at the family level and when we take the authority of the parent from them, we are headed for the destruction of our civilization.  We desperately need LEADERS to support and provide good leadership, not to deceive history, science, math or English. The Education requirements need to be aligned with the emotional and physical health of the students.  Helping students to navigate through growing into adults can often be confusing.  As adults, we need to help students navigate through that process. To compound the confusion and negate their physical DNA and biological components, is going to confuse them.  I have 5 children of my own, and have experienced helping them to grow through these difficult times.  It can be done, but not with the proposed legislation.  Implementing legislation like this will only compound the issue.  It would not be safe for girls and boys to be sharing bathrooms, locker rooms or to be involved in sports activities where they would be vulnerable and undressed positions.  Abusive circumstances that put a child these types of situations, do the most damage to a child.  It is not safe or healthy to put our children in this type of situation and outweighs any though of passing this legislation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

When they get older then they can do what they want. I don't care how they dress but forcing others to use \"correct pronouns\" is wrong. If someone isn't using their correct pronoun then they need to get over it. You cant make others believe the same as you and life goes on. Stop trying to force the world to change for some.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

While we want every child to be able to attend school free from harassment, bullying and discrimination, the mandate as drafted creates a school environment that would be hostile to young women, teachers trying to focus on education, and parents who should have primary say in their children's lives. Young women should be able to use bathrooms and locker rooms comfortably at school without having to assess each situation to determine if other people in those bathrooms are there in good faith.  Not allowing teachers or other school staff to question the intention of someone of the opposite sex using a particular bathroom could put young women in an uncomfortable situation and, with the mandate as drafted, they will have no where to go to discuss the situation.  Young women could be placed in emotionally stressful situations just to simply use the bathroom or locker room.  Drafting mandates to protect one group of people should not, in turn, place another group of people in emotionally stressful situations.  We have taken decades to provide protections for women.  Please do not draft mandates that chip away at those protections. Please allow teachers to do what they have been hired to do - teach.  Certainly, harassment from a teacher of any kind is unacceptable and should be handled as appropriate.  I assume there are already policies in place addressing harassment.  Why specifically place additional harassment penalties in place for teachers addressing students in a way consistent with biological science?  Can we just let the teachers teach? This mandate significantly restricts a parent to parent their child as they see fit in accordance with home rules, culture and beliefs.  Leave the parenting to parents and focus on what schools are there to do - Educate! Children can be vulnerable at any age.  The schools here seem to be trying to take advantage of a child's vulnerability and step in and \"guide them\" in a direction without the school having full knowledge of what is best for the child.  This is not a place for the school to step in. Again, the schools should be a comfortable place for ALL children.  Harassment and bullying policies should apply in all situations but they should not be narrowed down to fit a particular group of students while disregarding the emotional security and safety for other students, requiring teachers to watch every word they say when what is being asked of them is contrary to biological science and parents should be the primary guide in the growth and development of their children. Accordingly, please dismiss the mandate as drafted.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Science shows that there are only two sets of sex chromosomes, XX or XY and these exist in every cell. Feelings do not determine reality. Children and adolescents do not have the cognitive, psychological, emotional or moral developmental capacity to make drastic life-changing decisions. Parents have the right to listen to and guide their children into making good, sound decisions; especially decisions that will impact their health and lives way into the future. [My daughter recently told a transgender female friend of hers that she needed to let her doctor know that she had a prostate, which only men have, because she could one day find herself with Prostate Cancer.] This document oversteps the rights of parents. I can't imagine being \"kept out of the loop\" on such an emotionally and psychologically important issue as gender dysphoria. I ask you to reject this Model based on emotion and opinion instead of scientific fact. The schools’ responsibility is to provide a quality education in a safe environment for all its students. Period. It should be irrelevant what the psycho-social issue is, as it defines policies of treatment of students. There should be a zero tolerance of bullying by or directed at ANY student. It is not the role of the school to change social structures. We need to help those struggling with Gender dysphoria to get to the root of that dysphoria and to see they have infinite dignity, as they are, which deserves to be celebrated with truth and love.

However, parental authority should never be superseded by the State without substantial cause, and public schools have a high duty to respect parents’ fundamental rights and authority over their children. These so-called “Model Transgender Guidelines” fail in every way to fulfill that duty and must therefore not be adopted by school boards.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is of utmost importance that we start implementing these changes, so our students can live in a world of acceptance. It is not the job of adults to object to anyone’s sex, let alone that of a child. I find it quite disturbing, to be frank. Let our trans babies live their lives without fear of retaliation or hate.

NOT OK, NOT NOW, NOT EVER!!!!!\nBody:\nI have been employed for over 15 years in education in the State of Virginia.  I can not begin to express my overwhelming opposition to this idea.  Teachers are for education, this agenda has nothing positive to do with future children in the public school system.  If everyone wants equality, then lets take one example of your suggestion.  Instead of a young student going topless swimming, What if all students wore a shirt... Men, Women, or however you choose to identify, alike.  There is enough suicide, rape, molestation and  psychological issues with children, why in the world would you add mandates that helps enforce these issues.  The incident rate would surely be much higher with this gross oversight. The school system has enough work to do educating students than to stand and worry how the far greater majority of students would feel about a transgender child choosing an opposite bathroom.  The fact that this can happen without the knowledge of a parent, tells whoever you are that it is grossly wrong on every level.  Parents are fully responsible for the well being of their children all the way through their school experience,. One fine example would be,  the government considers children deductions.  How do I receive deductions for something I'm not fully responsible for??????  They are our children (I'm speaking as a parent, now) and NO ONE has the right to impose immoral values upon my child!!!NEVER, EVER,EVER\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

God doesn't make junk - we are each made in God's image and how we express that is individual.  They problem is damaged parents don't always know how to love and support their children unconditionally. Some let outside forces decide what love looks like.  The statistics for these children are abysmal. https://www.glsen.org/sites/default/files/2021-01/Virginia-Snapshot-2019.pdf Many are abandoned by their families and not having family support leads to deep depression, anxiety, and suicide attempts-too many of which are successful.  All children deserve to feel valued and supported - whoever they are - if they don't get that from the family, they will get it elsewhere and schools either be a life line and a reason to hope or an additional reason to despair.   Trans and Enby students should see themselves reflected in curriculum and they deserve equal treatment, encouragement, support, and respect in all areas.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In the English language \"him\"is defined as \" used to refer to a certain man, boy, or male animal as the object of a verb or preposition\". If the person doesn't accept the fact he is a male or female, then the person doesn't accept reality. The general population of faculty and students know who they are . Contrast that with the findings of the American Psychological Association that up to 98% of sex-confused children will embrace their physical biology after puberty.

Department of Education Transgender Policies\nBody:\nThe VA Dept of Education's Transgender policies in public school is totally unacceptable.  The teachers need to treat each child with respect but not encourage them in their sexuality.  That is the parents' job and parents only.  Bathrooms are by gender. All children are to be treated kindly and with respect but not pushed into a gender crisis by schools who are taking advantage of a time when most children are confused about sexuality.  Remember your own childhood. I grew up in a rural community, with three brothers.  I played outside for years without a shirt just like my brothers.  I'll never forget the day my mother told me I had to start wearing a shirt to play outside.  I was furious when she said it was because I was a girl!  I firmly stated that I wanted to be a boy!!  What if my mother had said,\"OK, sweetie, if you want to be a boy, that's fine, be a boy.\"  I'm not a boy, Thank God, and I'm happy for it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

To cater to a distorted view of such a foundational aspect of life will cause unknown havoc on a child's development. Another part of this idea I find deeply troubleing is the lack of accountability and vagueness of writing. With parents not being involved or notified, you alienate the two people who know the child best and go behind the backs of those who ACTUALLY care for the well-being of the indavidual. You remove all accountability which shows that this is more about the destruction of fundamental ideas than anything else. What ever happened to focusing on preparing the next generation for adulthood? Why do we promote ideas that only show negative results on society and the destruction of foundational principals? Trading sense for non-sens only makes sense when there is an underlying agenda. - Anonymous\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

That would be abusive even if she agreed to it. Forcing the children in Virginia schools to agree with all this non-scientific trans stuff is damaging to them in so many ways.

Our sexuality is meant to be offered back to Him either in complementary unity with the opposite sex in the context of marriage for procreation. Not only do male and female together reflect the image of God, but their coming together in a marriage relationship to bring forth new life is used in Scripture as the deepest and most intimate analogy of God’s relationship with His people. Throughout both Testaments, God and His people are portrayed as husband and wife or as a groom and bride. The creation account found in Genesis lays out this gender-based, matrimonial picture and sets the stage for the final, eternal union of God and His people – of Christ and His bride – described in Revelation. God created humans male and female, and that matters. In recent years, a revisionist transgender theology has been put forth in some theological circles that violates God’s clearly articulated and intentional design for the two sexes. This distorts His image and His plan for sexuality, marriage, family and the just and proper ordering of society.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I then moved on to a private college in Virginia. In early 2013, I came out as transgender and have since gone through the transgender metamorphic journey and have been living out and proud as non-binary since my high school graduation in 2015. My experiences as a transgender youth in the Virginia school system were mostly abysmal and traumatic. The “accommodations” that I was allowed in school treated me as “separate but equal”. I was allowed to use the private bathroom in the nurse’s office but I needed to ask permission each time (until Fall 2014 when I attempted suicide and received further accommodation). As a result, I developed between 5-6 urinary tract infections each school year because I was anxious about bathroom use and felt singled out. I was also told in no uncertain words that I created these problems for myself by school counselors. As a 15 year-old, I was tasked with “educating” the counselors about pronouns and trans terminology rather than them doing the work to support me and the other trans students at my school. This pressure from my school, anxieties about bathroom use, exclusion from sports, and bullying that was often unpunished wailers in a severe deterioration of my mental health and I spent a week at Poplar Spring Psychiatric in 2014 as a result. I’m in a better place now and am a private school teacher and mentor in Maryland now. My own traumatic high school experiences have allowed me to create an open and age-appropriate dialogue with my students about identity, acceptance, and empathy. Empathy was largely missing from my high school experience. At best I was an inconvenience and at worst I was unwanted and discarded as an after thought. I had several VERY supportive teachers who helped me through all the bumpy times and whom I respect greatly to this day. Their unofficial policies of support helped me through and brought positivity to my experience Implementing positive and highly integrated support policies would save lives, full stop. We should be concerned about our learners dying because our schools lack empathy. Integrate empathic policies and in return you will retain students, keep students alive, and cultivate young minds for the future.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents are responsible for their children until the age of 18.  Basically, parents will be told that what happens with their children at school in regards to their sexuality/gender will no longer be the parents business.  Then threaten to get Social Services involved to possibly remove the child from the home.  What a joke and a slap to the face of any parent.  Who does the school come after if there's a complaint regarding Truancy of the student?  The parents.  When there's issues in school with students behavior and such, does the school involve the parents?  Yes....  It is a shame in this Country-\"ONE NATION UNDER GOD\" that parents will be told that it's basically non of their business what life style their child is living or portraying to be, inside of our school system.  I promise, that NO ONE will EVER dictate to me how I should accept things regarding my children.  This a disgrace.  Where I live in VA, Social Services is beyond a joke on a normal day.  It takes multiple attempts to ever get Social Services involved when children are being abused and/or neglected inside their homes.  It's hard to get Social Services involved even when the children are being exposed to drug use inside their homes.  I hope that every one making these decisions to enforce this craziness for the transgender policies can deal with it when something bad happens to a student.  It's going to be a free for all, for any student that wants to prey on another student (especially of the opposite gender) that is weaker.  Our school systems should be ashamed.  If your child is confused about whom they want to be or what gender they want to be, then home school them.  Don't mess it up for the rest of the students education.  Most students accept each other for what they want to be anyway.  But attempting to take the parents rights away is not the way this should be handled.  Life for the students have been difficult enough since COVID.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

To build a strong community it is important that all members are treated with respect and cared for. I went to a Virginia high school and had a transgender friend. She did not come out because of the fear of acceptance and bullying. She was already ridiculed since she was thought to be a gay boy. This resulted in her academic work being affected negatively. Luckily she had family and friends to support her and she is now a successful contributor to our community. Not everyone has this support. Therefore, schools should provide more support for all transgender students so that they can flourish and improve our society.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Children should not have to be in the same room with a nude student that has the opposite body genitalia. This would create an unsafe feeling environment and, quite frankly, children should not be subjected to seeing that genitalia. In regards to athletics, the same should apply. Men naturally have more muscle and body strength then females. It would not be fair to have a male playing a female sport where they are naturally stronger than females. Despite undergoing a gender change, naturally born males and females should use their same sexed bathrooms and participate in sports of their natural born sex. Please do NOT subject our children to having to witness male/female genitalia in opposite bathrooms. Lesley Brady\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The biggest claim of the transgender movement is that a man who thinks he’s a woman can really be a woman, and vice versa. You see this in many ways — from preferred pronouns, sex reassignment surgeries, and demands to use the restroom of perceived rather than given gender. The problem is that this is a philosophical claim that is not true, and can never be true, in any way or form. A man’s chromosomes cannot be engineered into female chromosomes. Altering one’s appearance cosmetically or surgically cannot change the underlying reality of a person’s biological make-up. The psychology of the mind cannot override the facts of a person’s biological markers. The transgender revolution demands that we believe falsehoods about human nature. And truth and falsehood have never been a matter of majority vote, because we know that there is a Creator who has the authority to decide and state what is right and wrong. The Bible supplies the framework for understanding the transgender revolution. A Christian worldview informed by the Bible can fully explain why people experience feelings of gender dysphoria. The Christian worldview is one that acknowledges that creation has been disrupted and is not the way it once was, nor how it will eventually be in the New Creation (Genesis 3; Romans 8; Revelation 21). No part of our existence in the universe has been left undisturbed by sin’s effects. This means that the brokenness of creation reaches into every corner of our lives — even our minds and hearts. To the same degree, every human is made in God’s image. To differing degrees and in differing ways, every human struggles with the brokenness of our own bodies, desires, and thoughts. And to the same degree, every human can find their true identity by recognizing that the God who made them has also saved for them and will one day restore them. So in this created-but-broken world, we understand that not all identities or feelings are to be accepted or fostered, because we are all guided by a mixture of good and broken desires. The great Bible story of Creation, Fall, and Redemption tells us that we should not be shocked that people experience desires that will not in fact bring about the wholeness they are seeking; and equally that we can never be self-righteous about how others struggle or sin.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Many of the commenters don’t appear to have read or understood the document or its purpose. The Virginia Code has already been amended and mandates that the DOE develop model policies for school districts to implement no later than this upcoming school year. That part is not up for debate, nor are the existing laws or protections extended to students by both federal and state legislation. The recommendations outlined here are for evidence-based best practices for how districts can fulfil the requirement put forth in the Virginia Code to ensure that all of our students, regardless of their sex at birth, are ensured a learning environment that is safe and free from bullying and harassment. This is a goal that all Virginians should support, regardless of how you feel about “the transgender stuff.\" And just for the record, if you do find yourself opposed to the idea of equal rights for transgender folks, I would encourage you to do some introspection and really ask yourself why. Is it because of “biology?” Because we already know from modern science that there are more than two possible outcomes for “sex,” whether you define it by chromosomes or by phenotype. Is it because of religion? Because I know of almost no widely practiced world religion that does not uphold some version of the “golden rule” as a major tenet (and seem to remember something about this Jesus fellow who hung around the prostitutes and outcasts of society while reminding us to do better). Or is it just because you are uncomfortable? And does your discomfort really give you the right – in America – to restrict someone else’s freedom to peacefully exist?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Children are not made \"safer\" by the schools throwing them into gender confusion that they are neither ready to handle developmentally nor even thinking about unless prompted by agenda-driven adults. This proposed policy represents continued interference by government and school related officials with families who hold to deeply held religious values.  It leaves schools in the position of being dishonest with parents and in a sense, so devaluing the role of parents, that they (the public schools) see themselves as the sole arbiter of what the student should or should not believe.  This is not a position that has been granted by parents, or God Himself.  Parents should not be bypassed for the sake of an agenda driven false notion of \"safety.\"  This policy presumes, in reality, that parents do not have their own children's safety at heart or that they are capable or able to direct their children to healthy decisions.  This is a pompous assumption by our school administrators.  This is something I would expect to see coming out of Soviet Russia, not the United States of America. The public schools should spend more time focusing on adequately educating students in learning and how to learn as opposed to trying to reach into areas of social life with which they have no reason to participate.

I agree that there is a need for improvement in school support systems for trans students, but the excess of these guidelines is inappropriate for school-age children. Standardized educational programs, designed and enforced by the state, that demand a distinct aspect of culture be accepted are out of line. Fundamentally, I do not believe humans can be transgender. BUT, I do believe that no human should be put down for what they believe in, what they want to wear, how they want to behave, what they want to call themselves. Who am I to get in the way of self-expression? Or decide what’s real and what’s not? To reiterate, these guidelines just overstep public education boundaries. Please, I am begging you to come up with some reasonable proposals. There does not need to be a dramatic shift in ideology. Also, in hopes that some other citizens will read this, stop trying to press your religion upon others. Your faith does not, and should not, define rule of law. Separation of church and state is a two-way street.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This bill does nothing to protect the majority of students.  This bill blatantly ignores the privacy, security and concerns of hundreds of thousand of kids, especially girls.  Your duty is to protect and serve all children that us as parents have placed in your trust. You are not finding a compromise to give respect and privacy to transgender students AND all other students.  If a student is uncomfortable using a restroom or locker room with people of their biological sex, why is it then not okay to address concerns of students who are now in a bathroom or locker room with people of the opposite sex?  You have essentially made bathrooms and locker rooms coed by not placing ANY restrictions here during the most formative and awkward time in children’s lives.  How is that a good thing? Many parents have opted this year to put their children in private schools or to homeschool them.  This will only increase with this overreach into our children’s privacy and security as parents have become more comfortable with other tools and resources available to them!  And before you think, “Great, we will have more funds for less # of students!”, I can guarantee the students you have lost and will lose are in the upper echelon of your test scores - and we all know that does directly impact your perceived success! I URGE you to reconsider this policy and draft a new policy that address’s concerns of ALL students and not just the extreme few!  You will not be able to appease everyone 100%, but you can show that you respect and value ALL students by coming up with policy that reflects everyone’s concerns even if you do not fully agree with them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I would have been horrified as a young lady to be made to change in front of a member of the opposite sex, even if that person was allegedly not interested in me. This policy ENDANGERS our children, it does not PROTECT them. It surrenders to the wishes of a small minority while ignoring the safety of the majority. What makes the wishes of a few transgender students more important than the rest of the students? Is the school system bowing to the popular trends of the day rather than standing for what is best for the students? What happens when students claim that they are neither male nor female, non-binary, and they wish to go back and forth between locker rooms depending on whether they feel more male or more female that day? This is certainly a recipe for disaster.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Clearly this isn’t something they can do at home, given the amount of transphobic and hateful comments left here by people who strongly oppose this. School should foster growth from every aspect of a child and provide a warm and loving environment to do so.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a bisexual woman, I strongly support taking care of marginalized students, and flipping the script and what closed-minded folx see as \"right.\" Taking call of all students means taking care of ALL students. Loving all students means loving ALL students. Educating all students means educating ALL students. Don't further marginalize and discriminate against trans students. They deserve space, and time, and a place where they can obtain an education without fear.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Data from the Executive Report on Experiences in Schools: More than three-quarters (77%) of those who were out or perceived as transgender at some point between Kindergarten and Grade 12 (K–12) experienced some form of mistreatment, such as being verbally harassed, prohibited from dressing according to their gender identity, disciplined more harshly, or physically or sexually assaulted because people thought they were transgender. Fifty-four percent (54%) of those who were out or perceived as transgender in K–12 were verbally harassed, nearly one-quarter (24%) were physically attacked, and 13% were sexually assaulted in K–12 because of being transgender. Seventeen percent (17%) faced such severe mistreatment as a transgender person that they left a K–12 school. Nearly one-quarter (24%) of people who were out or perceived as transgender in college or vocational school were verbally, physically, or sexually harassed. Let lived experiences rise above the opinions of others so that we make work together to end this history of trauma. This decision will protect the rights of all children to exist, thrive, and grow into healthy and happy contributing members of society.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Most people who oppose this bill care for and have empathy for transgender students; however, letting ANYONE go into the bathroom or locker room they choose puts our most vulnerable population at risk! Please reconsider other options to accommodate transgender students like allowing them to use private bathrooms such as the nurse’s bathrooms. We cannot fully accommodate the concerns/wishes of transgender students without then making MANY more students feel the same uncomfortableness and insecurity that the transgender first felt in the bathroom that matched their biological sex.  It does not make any sort of logical sense!

There are sufficient laws that already protect students. This is yet another gross overreach of government and it must be stopped! The government is not and will never be a replacement for fair and decent parenting. Nor are they the authority on what parenting SHOULD be. In that, by substituting itself in place of parental guidance and basic moral training, you are directly undermining and degrading the delicate and PRIVATE fabric of the nuclear family, parental rights, responsibilities, and privilege. What this bill will further do is handicap parents and weaken family units even further. VA parents are responsible, capable, loving, and care for their families. If they are not, there are laws and procedures to deal with these issues. How will taking away parental responsibility to ALL parents, help increase safety & well being in our children? IT WILL NOT! We do not need the government to regulate how we raise our children, nor influence our morals & beliefs. STOP GOVERNMENT OVERREACH NOW!

I would welcome further guidance of how to represent LGBTQ+ people and families in curriculum and libraries (not just health). One example of this can be found in the MA social science standards: https://www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/hss/2018-12.pdf . This would build on the state's good work in making social science more inclusive of black, brown, and native experiences.

It is my greatest hope that the impact of this proposal will be that the children of the those posters who are expressing outright fear and hatred towards these concepts will be more understanding, more compassionate, and more open-minded than their parents, having not been raised in the fog of condemning those different than you, and fearing that which they don’t understand. For those who claim their religious or parental rights are being taken away or, worse, that this action attempts to discriminate against them, I would like to remind them that lessons can be taught and reiterated at home to the parents’ content, but it is not the job of a public school to curate a worldview for your child that matches your own. More importantly, the separation of church and state falls additionally on to these state institutions, so that those who need those resources to be available to them, such as that of a good and safe education, can do so without fear of persecution and the distractions of bigotry. Your right to your religion does not outweigh a trans students right to live their life according to their choosing.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The science, biology, of this lgbtq+ proposed “education” is sorely lacking. There is no scientific evidence that humans can change gender or can choose gender, which is a biologically placed matter. Allowing students of the other sexes into restrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams is denying science and harming children in more ways than one. It is time to let parents become the lead on their child’s personal acceptance of gender and sexuality. Taking away the rights of parents is a gross overstepping of the VDOE and completely irrational and unconstitutional. This is stripping the rights of biological women from all aspects of education and achievement and should be stopped immediately. Step down, VDOE. This is not education, it is politics. It is a clear and present danger to children and to women and it’s time to stop the nonsense.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The Bible & nature itself plainly states/shows that their is male & female not only physically but their inner self as well. To enforce this agenda puts the teachers & children in situations that would otherwise not be an issue. Parents & teachers need to work together in the education of their children. Teachers should not be forced to teach & embarce questionable agenda without the parents knowledge.

A one page document could be written to say transgender students should be treated just like everyone else. This document uses 26 pages to create new terms and rules to be used as a stick to beat anyone with the view that remotely opposes anything transgender. You must believe you can choose your own gender and change depending on how you feel at any given time. This document even suggests the school as a judge between students and their parents. \"In the situation when parents or guardians of a minor student (under 18 years of age) do not agree with the student’s request to adopt a new name and pronouns, school divisions will need to determine whether to respect the student’s request, abide by the parent’s wishes\" why would the school even want to be put themselves in this situation? The schools job is to teach children working together with parents. Not a single thing in the 26 pages makes that job easier for schools or parents. I believe transgender is a not a problem to be solved in school. What someone chooses to do after they are 18 is there choice. Before 18 it's parents choice how to raise their children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I am a mother, grandmother and former teacher and I am opposed to Radical Gender Theory being introduced into our Virginia School System.  The students of today and future generations would be much better served if the VDOE would refocus and put their primary energy and attention on educating our students in the areas of reading, writing, math and science.  That is why parents send their children into school.  They do not send their children into school to be socially indoctrinated and engineered into group think based on what the VDOE decides is best for everyone.  Really?  We are trying to climb out of a global pandemic and trying to get the students safely back into the school buildings so that the world can begin to function again, and this is what you are spinning your wheels about?  This is how our tax dollars are being spent?  I can only imagine all of the \"professionals\" and \"experts\" that lined their pockets to come up with these programs that will infiltrate and pollute every aspect of the curricula, sports activities, clubs, as well as any counseling and advocacy groups.  I beg of you for the welfare of our children, please get back to the job of being educators and leave the parenting to parents and the family.  You have no business there! Thank you for your time and attention. Respectfully, Anne Patsalosavvis\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Face it. It is an agenda  of a relatively few people and should not be pushed onto everybody in our public schools.  Our public schools serve ten’s of thousands of kids and teachers.  They should not be expected to follow this confusing radical agenda of a few people!  This  mentality  is innately confusing even to the one it is suppose to serve. This proposal is not to protect kids-  it is to punish people who don’t think the same way as his radical few.  The school board should be smart enough to recognize this for what it is.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Children are innocent yet naive and swayed easily. We cannot continue to teach the next generations to come that they can do what they please because they “feel” a certain way. We all have temptations and ideas that are morally wrong within us and need to learn how to endure through this life realizing it’s not what we want it to be. Endurance builds character. These children are being taught that it is okay to do whatever they please and have major entitlement attachments. As a mother of a son and a daughter, I will not stand by nor support this. I would pray with and for these children. Teach them they are SO loved by their maker and that they will continue to experience things in their hearts like this throughout their lives. I know this world isn’t run by God, so we as Christ followers need to speak up where darkness is taking over.

It grieves me that we would tell parents that they cannot teach their own children what they believe to be right.  This legislation is forcing on the population of our state at large a worldview that most do not hold to.  Our nation is supposed to be one of Freedom and Individual Rights, where each person is free to live by his/her own convictions.  Putting this type of legislation through sends the message that we must believe what the government tells us to.  I would have a hard time telling a child it was okay if he wanted to change genders.  Based on the Bible I believe God creates each person male or female, and it is wrong to force the people of Virginia to teach children and manage schools according to a godless worldview.  More and more families will decide to leave public schools for other educational options if the state forces them to swallow this viewpoint.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If a student is exploring their identity, especially if they plan to transition, it is a medical and social/emotional matter. Parents should not be able to tell the school what and how to teach the students. In the same way, the school should not allow a child make such huge, life altering decisions without the knowledge or consent of their parents, even if a school staff member disagrees with the parents' response. A family may already have supports and plans in place for the particular student. The school should never interfere with how a student is being raised. As an educator, that is not my job.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

There is absolutely no reason that a young child should be exploring their sexuality before a certain age. This notion that we should encourage children to make such choices at a very young age is disgusting and serves no purpose in a civilized society. Schools should be focusing on the subjects they are teaching and good character traits in general - not whether or not you are male/female/etc. Teachers have enough to worry about as it is, and having to worry about whether they are using the correct he/she/they terminology is absurd.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Dignitatis Humanae binds Church. Conscience binds the Individual. I am protected by conscience. Conscience is protected by Church. Church is protected by State. The individual inviolable conscience rejects the authority of any forces seeking to compel action against conscience. Life itself is a steady state of religious ritual in practice. Any tax imposition or attempts to restrict freedom is null and the opportunity forfeit until which time appropriate efforts are converted to alignment of each individual conscience. “If a law is within the legitimate power of government to enact, then the First Amendment does not apply. That amendment is about what is outside the power of government and what it may not do.” https://www.americamagazine.org/issue/religious-liberty-50 By the very nature of the proposed regulation citing protection of the first amendment, the proposed ruling also confirms that religious liberty falls equally and irrefutably under the same sphere of influence. It is self-evident that which is outside the power of (State) government is equally and irrefutably outside the power of (Church) government for reasons the same. The supreme jurisdiction on matters of faith and morals remains the inviolable conscience of the individual. It is imperative that detailed and concise language outlining the relationship of individual conscience with the proposed is included for the benefit of each individual resident of Virginia. Failure to do so negates the positive moment in the spirit of the proposed regulation. This opportunity to realize positive potential and combine efforts of faith, hope and love at the individual level is at stake.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

One is restrooms and locker facilities. Sharing facilities with transgender people invites potential risk (woman in a male body) on the other girls - and especially vise versa. For a boy who was a girl, picturing the reaction of the boys towards that person changing in the locker room would expose students to a woman’s body a lot sooner, and there are boys who would find a way to act on those feelings. So shared facilities leads to increased sexual exposure to students, uncomfortably for (I hesitate to say, but) normal students, and the potential for rape and increased bullying. Next is gender the gender specific activities. Men and woman are biologically different, and even with hormonal therapy and surgical changes, a trans person will still be different. There are already examples of trans women competing with woman-at-birth and blowing them out of the water. Even the Olympics has a current one year mandatory therapy period before trans people can compete, but they are considering extending that because women who were men at birth are still out performing women. Allowing transgender students to compete in the gender they identify as would either make it more difficult for the students or overly easy for the students. Those are the two biggest issues that I believe would need to be addressed so that activities are fair for all the involved students, and general education, like gym, doesn’t provide more opportunities for discomfort, bullying, and rape.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Arlington, Virginia (where my kids are in school) drafted its transgender policy with similar exclusive language about providing parents information about their children.  I am comfortable with where Arlington landed - namely, by making ample accommodations for children identifying as transgender but not impeding parents from knowing how their own children expressing themselves at school. It is A SIGNIFICANT OVERREACH for the Commonwealth to so exclude parents in such an egregious way.  If one of my kids identified as a different gender at school, it should be my right to know about something so important going on with them.  Furthermore, your policy suggests that teachers have more rights than parents in the lives of children.  Given that transgender children have such high rates of depression and suicide, it is horrific that you would want to exclude parents in important information about their kids.  A parent is the first line in suicide prevention; your policy may create horrible situations by specifically excluding parents.  Plus, it seems so harmful to kids' mental health to encourage these children to live with a dual reality between home and school.  Furthermore, while I am left-leaning, my kids go to school here in zip code 22204 with so many conservative Muslim families.  This policy needs to consider the needs of ethnic minorities that yes, may have different views about gender, but should still have rights to parent according to their creed.  Asking a child to wear a hijab (while no, is not something I will ever do) should not be a reason to call CPS.  Rather, counseling and mediation for a whole family should be the answer. Please revise this draft with something more reasonable.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Issues surrounding locker rooms/etc. should be addressed by increasing privacy for students who desire it, not by shoehorning them into a gender identity that is most convenient for the adults involved. This guidance is badly needed, as many school boards across the state are unlikely to address these issues of their own volition.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Students need to focus on thriving in academics and social interaction when attending school and this can only happen when they are not being threatened, bullied and targeted by people who do not understand or care about them.  Teachers and administrators have a duty to represent every student not just the ones who identify as cisgender and heterosexual.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy that is being proposed is a step in the right direction. It's important that we respect a student's gender identity by accepting their pronouns or name changes. It's equally important to respect a student's privacy, if they request so, and schools need to develop policy to respect that. This will positively affect the mental well-being of many of our students in the commonwealth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While a policy like this may seems inclusive and kind, it is actually alienating and harmful. How will it feel to the young girl going through puberty to have a male (even if that make asserts that he is a female) sharing a locker room, shower, and bathroom with her? And considering that kids are still maturing, what happens if this child who may be dealing with gender dysphoria begins to feel differently about his sexuality while sharing such private places with the opposite sex (or if the situation was reversed). We already have sexual abuse to deal with in our public places. It is foolish to create a policy that will undoubtedly open the door for more unwanted and unconscented sexual abuses and give more opportunity for legitimate predators (I am not saying transgender people are predators, but that men and women who are will take advantage of this new policy) to prey on children. And this is only one flaw. There are so many ripple effects of fire consequence to the emotions and well-being of the child, the teachers, the family, and our culture. Please think about this.

I dealt with same-sex attraction and proclaim unreservedly that LGBT are designations of sexual abnormalities - ABNORMALITIES.  They are not identities - not real ones.  Our true identity, which we have to affirm, is God's beloved child.  Gender identity is a construct.  Sex is not assigned at birth; it is determined at creation and it cannot be changed.  It is \"recognized\" at birth.  One may \"feel\" different than their actual sex, but that's an unreality which has to be dealt with.  Parents, teachers, etc. who do not help children learn to deal with reality are engaging in neglect & abuse.  For a state board of ed. to propose such policies is evil - the work of the devil.  Sane parents must oppose this, and, if it is implemented, remove your child from the public school system.  Do not allow your precious child to be subjected to such daily abuse.  I had a sister born with spina bifida, but her physical abnormality was not her \"identity\".  And because my parents did not cater to her condition, she grew up learning how to deal with reality.  As an adult (paralyzed from the waist down, wearing crutches & braces), when others politely offered assistance, she would boldly say \"I AM NOT HANDICAPPED.\"  Not teaching children to deal with reality is to handicap them.  The proposed policies will handicap children rather than help them.  May sanity and reality prevail.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is unethical.  Don’t use public school system and educators to carry out it’s special interest.  The public school system should not be a place to teach minors about sex, sexual identity nor sexuality.  This is responsibility of parents, not state agency nor federal government.

I'm a student in a very conservative town, and unfortunately LGBTQ+ students, especially those who are trans, are often bullied and mistreated by other students and staff. Having measures in place to protect trans students and help administration create a safe learning environment for them would be very beneficial. About 75% of transgender students feel unsafe at school. Over half of transgender teens consider or attempt suicide. Trans students need and deserve a learning environment that will help them grow without being discriminated against by their peers, teachers, and school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

For that very reason we have laws in place regarding driving, drinking,  smoking, voting,  serving our country, legal guardianship.   It is also for that very reason you shouldn't be taking away parents' rights about THEIR OWN children,  making the assumption that all  kids in this situation are being abused.  Additionally, there are ways to offer children going through this,  needed support through counseling or single use restrooms,  without needlessly and carelessly endangering or stripping away the rights of others to feel safe. Not thinking this through carefully and considering ALL sides of this will be detrimental to the health and well being of generations of children who are already suffering needlessly. I plead with you not to hastily change legislation, that only benefits one group, but fails to consider or empathize with another.  This decision has potential to bring about grave consequences for ALL. Opposed very much to this specific legislation without extensive review and consideration of everyone who will be affected.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents have also been recognized as the authority in a child's life.  This isn't given by the state, this authority is God-given.  Yes, there are abuses to this authority, however, and in our society we have fought against these abuses.  However, the best answer is NOT to remove parental authority and invest that authority in the education system.  The re-defining of what a man is and what a woman is, is in direct conflict with the order of creation and will have vast consequences.  We are fooling ourselves if we think that a \"good\" response to help confused children is to affirm whatever they are believing about themselves.  I plead with lawmakers to remove this dangerous legislation from consideration.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is a general lack of treatment as  human beings for basic needs such as safety and sanitation which directly affects learning and self esteem. Without guiding documents, bias interferes with the treatment of students as human beings. This is seen historically when the issue at hand is replaced with the issue at the time. I hear the stories of how transgender and non-binary students are treated by the students themselves. It is heartbreaking to see how they face animosity and adversity so early in their lives. Between being a sponsor of the school's GSA and being the president of the local PFLAG chapter, I hear how students are in need of support because of a lack from the schools overall. Safe places and safe people have to be identified and sought after to make it through the education system. Isn't education of information supposed to be the forefront and socialization secondary as students maneuver through public schools? The greatest tool in life is being informed - we create our best opinions from information. With information people can have civil discourse without agreement. There isn't the ask to agree with gender differences; there is the ask to treat one another with civility and humanity. The most vulnerable are our students and they are taught civility and humanity by the actions of adults. Guiding documents will show how human beings should be treated regardless of differences. Our differences are what makes this country so lovely.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This concerns me because this would expose our children to see member with opposite sexual parts naked in a locker room. I cringe because this could be my son or daughter. Who regardless of social standards would feel totally violated and uncomfortable. Please help us guard the eyes of our children. Guard their minds and eyes from seeing things they should not be expose to until they are mature. If that. I could argue that this is a form of child pornotraphy sent to children. I cannot express how concerning it is for me to find myself in this state, where our nation and our people have come to such lack of logic. That one can decide in one's mind, though evidence to the contrary that we are what we were not born to be.  What would our civilization come to if we don't have women and men to procreate. Our human race cannot continue to exist if we don't have women and men coming together. To think that anything else is natural is illogical.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Where we share common ground is the anti-bullying piece of this document: no child should be subject to bullying defined as behavior that, “seeks to harm, intimidate, or coerce someone perceived as vulnerable” (Oxford dictionary). Inevitably, bullying has the potential to occur and occurs regularly in any school environment, and teachers and administrators need to exercise prudent and just discipline to stop bullying and rebuke offenders.  Children may suffer from gender dysphoria, just like suffering from anorexia, depression, obesity, speech delays or various other conditions, but none are cause for bullying. I would greatly appreciate if this document identified additional tools for teachers and administrators to use to combat real bullying and other externalizing behavior issues, particularly in cooperation with parents, to identify, challenge, and remediate bully behavior. My children are raised to be observant and recognize reality from falsehood, namely distinct use of language and scientifically observed reality. This proposed guidance manipulates the language and circumvents science in affirming gender dysphoria and I fear that my children would be rebuked and may be bullied into affirming false reality regarding one’s human nature under this guidance. Transgenderism, or the condition where persons suffer from gender dysphoria (American Psychological Association (APA) definition), is not approached appropriately in this document. This guidance also blatantly conflicts with Virginia sexual assault and harassment policy defined as: Sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature. Sexual harassment can include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature. [6] Sexual harassment of a student can deny or limit, on the basis of sex, the student's ability to participate in or to receive benefits, services, or opportunities in the school's program. Sexual harassment of students is, therefore, a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX under the circumstances described in this guidance. (ed.gov Sexual Harassment Guide). I have sons and a daughter, and the proposed policy in this document that eliminates the distinction of male and female facilities, particularly restrooms and locker rooms, is horrid and sets the stage for unwelcome interactions to meet the threshold of the Department of Education’s definition of sexual harassment. The proposed guidance also directly states, “School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.” How can you possibly expect to keep children safe from sexual assault and harassment with this type of policy? If a biological male enters a female locker room and exposes his genitalia to the females in the room, maliciously or casually, that is sexual harassment. My daughter does not deserve to be exposed to male genitalia in a public school locker room and doing so destroys innocence and opens the door to significant anxiety. The vice versa of females in male locker rooms holds as well. This policy has the potential to drive a wedge between students and their parents as well. The following excerpt is terrifying: If a student is not ready or able to safely share with their family about their transgender status, this should be respected. There are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student’s request to affirm their gender identity, and school staff should work with students to help them share the information with their family when they are ready to do so. (proposed document p. 12) The family of the child bears complete responsibility for the child. Engaging with the parents regarding anything regarding the physical or mental health of the child is paramount to getting real help for the child. Later in the document, the proposed policy indicates that school administrators need to engage with parents to determine the best course of action for the child, but how can this occur if the parents are not even aware? Imagine if other conditions were treated the same way: anorexia, bulimia, self-mutilation, or substance abuse to name a few. Trust between the school and parents is diminished if these policies are enacted. The school administration has the potential of encouraging a “double life” for the child, delaying help and not activating an authentic support base at home. There is significant inconsistency in the rationale of indulging a student’s gender dysphoria with other trans-X movements. Rachel Dolezal, the former leader of the Spokane, Washington chapter of the NAACP, identified as a black woman, despite having been born of white parents and identifying as “transracial.” Public outcry, bullying, and controversy over her “cultural appropriation” forced her to resign and destroyed her academic career. Is this really much different than gender dysphoria? Science observes that people have a distinct biological sex (XX or XY Chromosome, with mutations such as Turner’s syndrome (X), Klinefelters (XXY or XXXY), or Jacob’s syndrome (XYY)) whereas race is much less distinct (I am ¼ Japanese and ¼ Ukrainian and 1/256 Cherokee in addition to others). What is the threshold for determining someone’s race outside of arbitrary guidelines? If it was so wrong for Rachel Dolezal to identify with a race she was not born into by an arbitrary standard, then surely appropriating another sex is just as wrong? I may be 1/256 Cherokee, buy I cannot be 1/256 woman. If appropriating race is not okay, then appropriating sex is worse because of how discrete sex is categorized by science. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are serious conditions especially plaguing teenage women (source: APA) These disorders devastate the body with physical problems including anemia, constipation, osteoporosis...

It undermines parental rights and will siphon away valuable energy and resources that could be utilized to provide an education that will help our students become responsible and informed citizens in the the 21st century. True compassion for transgender students should involve counseling to help them embrace their biological sex.

The first major issue I have with the draft policy is that schools are able to counsel and advise students regarding their sexual identity without the consent or even knowledge of the parents. This deprives parents of their right and responsibility to counsel with and advise and protect their children. Furthermore, if parents are unsupportive of the minor child’s desire to change their sexual identity, the school can involve Child Protective Services. The safeguards in the policy that protect against frivolous involvement by CPS are vague, at best. A school staff member can alert CPS if they become aware of the child being “at risk” for abuse or neglect at home because of their sexual identity. This could be something as simple as a conversation initiated by a parent to discuss the child’s reasoning behind them wanting to change their sexual identity, which could be construed as “bullying” or “harassment.” The second major issue I have is that this policy allows a child to change their sexual identity to gain access to locker or bathroom facilities. This allows to students to take advantage of the fact that they can enter opposite-sex bathrooms and locker areas at will, and staff/teachers are not allowed to question them for fear of disciplinary action. School officials are also not allowed to inform parents that an opposite-sex student used the same facilities as their child. This is a gross invasion of the privacy of the student who is appropriately using his or her gender-assigned facilities, and the parents of said child are not informed or allowed any sort of recourse. This is a bad policy that really is aimed at eroding parents’ rights, especially the rights of religious parents who fundamentally disagree with the idea that you can change your God-given sexual identity. There are other ways to protect Transgender students from discrimination and bullying without violating parents’ rights and infringing on the privacy of fellow students.

The problem is this guidance goes beyond protecting students experiencing gender dysphoria, and instead seeks to normalize/encourage gender dysphoria. This impacts not just the student dealing with gender dysphoria, but also everyone else at the school: other students, teachers, and administrators. The science on gender dysphoria is far from a conclusive or or settled matter. Many studies have shown that the majority of adolescents experiencing gender dysphoria no longer experience it as they reach the teen years or adulthood. Therefore, it is questionable why guidance that seeks to affirm their dysphoria has been proposed. It also goes against common sense that someone could identify as a different sex any more than they could identify as a different race or species. While, undoubtedly, people do experience gender dysphoria, we should seek to provide the necessary support to these students to deal with such an experience, rather than forcing everyone else to live in a world where truth and reality is subjective. The purpose of schools is to educate, we should not be lying to students that they can be a boy or girl or anything in between regardless of what their sex is. We do not teach our students the world is flat, the moon landing was faked, or 2+2=5. To do so would be a lie, and potentially damaging and dangerous to their development. To teach students they can choose to be a boy or girl is no less damaging. Furthermore, this guidance affects all students and staff, not just those experiencing gender dysphoria. The document says the guidance provided for \"activities and events\" does not apply to athletics. But it then goes on to state that the policies developed for athletics should be \"consistent with\" the guidance for activities and events. So the document seems to be contradictory. Boys and girls compete in sports separately because we know boys and girls are built differently, and are not physically equal to each other. That allows each sex a level playing field. Allowing a physical boy who identifies as a girl to compete in sports against other girls gives that student a competitive advantage, and also possibly takes away a spot on the team from a girl who would otherwise be allowed to play. It actually undermines title IX. Everyone who interacts with these students are now forced to accept their gender dysphoria as objective truth under this guidance, which it is not. Otherwise, a student, teacher, or administrator will likely be found guilty of discrimination. Students experiencing gender dysphoria deserve an education, and deserve support as they deal with the gender dysphoria. They should not be bullied. It is right to put into place guidance that protects them and creates a supportive environment for them. However, it should not go overboard and seek to distort reality by forcing everyone else to acknowledge, affirm, and accept that these students can be a gender that does not match their sex. To use a metaphor, people should not be punished for refusing to accept that 2+2=5. Furthermore, this guidance seems to have been put forth by people with an agenda based on what is not discussed. Page 8 states: \"For many people, their gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth. For others, their internalized gender identity does not necessarily correspond to the sex assigned at birth, where the gender identity may be one in a range such as transgender, nonbinary, or gender-expansive. Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six (Lamb & Lerner, 2015). In 2020, the American Psychological Association (APA) and National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) declared in a resolution that “all persons, including children and adolescents who are diverse in their sexuality and gender identities, expression, and/or presentation, have the inherent human right to equal opportunity and a physically and psychologically safe environment within all institutions.” The American Academy of Pediatrics (2018) also acknowledged that, “variations in gender identity and expression are normal aspects of human diversity.”\" However, no contrary viewpoint, that gender dysphoria is not an innate characteristic that most children never declare, is presented. The VDOE should scrap this proposed guidance and write new guidance. The guidance should seek to support students experiencing gender dysphoria without encroaching on the rights of others to reject the idea of gender fluidity as normal. The guidance should recognize gender dysphoria exists for some students without punishing those who do not accept gender fluidity as settled science. I suggest the VDOE also include contributors (psychologists, doctors, scientists, educators) in creating guidance who are have done research with gender dysphoria, but that do not support that affirming students in their dysphoria is best for them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Compromise idea.\nBody:\nAdolescence is a tumultuous time, physically, emotionally and behaviorally.  Scientific MRI studies in the last 20 years have established “..the brain undergoes a “rewiring” process that is not complete until approximately 25 years of age.” (in “Maturation of the Adolescent Brain”, Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat . 2013; 9: 449–461).  “Longitudinal neuroimaging studies demonstrate that the adolescent brain continues to mature well into the 20s.” (in “Adolescent Maturity and the Brain: The Promise and Pitfalls of Neuroscience Research in Adolescent Health Policy.”, J Adolesc Health. 2009 Sep; 45(3): 216–221.) This scientific fact is borne out in various public policies:  Minimum voting age is 18 years, military enlistment is 17-18,  car rental age is 21.  It is extremely damaging to promote any side of the gender dysphoria during the adolescent years.

Most of this language suggests schools will be permitted, and maybe even encouraged, to help students explore, facilitate and make decisions regarding their expression of sexual identity while at school, without a parent even knowing about it? Government agencies, or public school systems should not be interfering with parental duties in the handling of their own children. VDOE is proposing very troubling policies to force students, faculty, and administrators to comply with empirically false views of sex and gender, even if it directly conflicts with their own fundamental beliefs. Not to mention, that students, faculty and administrators are not medical professionals and are totally unqualified to asses or guide students struggling with identity issues. The proposed policies suggest parents can no longer parent their children, and that children are being manipulated to disavowing parents' teachings and value systems. Withholding personal information from parents is tantamount to deception. It undermines parts and their teaching. Using restrooms of perceived gender rather than birth gender distorts reality. Perhaps establishing single neutral bathrooms could alleviate the circumstances of using bathrooms based on perceptions rather than reality. Finally, these policies are in direct conflict with many religious teachings and beliefs where non-gender and transgender ideologies are not accepted.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Through its blanket endorsement of views like these, the VDOE has gone far beyond the path the General Assembly prescribed. The model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children. Schools have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students. No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex. Many children would feel uncomfortable when they encounter a member of the opposite sex – particularly adults – in gendered facilities or when entering a shared hotel room as part of an overnight school activity. Children, particularly adolescents, can experience hypersensitive and traumatic reactions to these situations. Schools should not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible “gender transitions”. The Department’s proposed policies would pit children against their parents when it comes to important questions about sex and gender identity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My child's rights are being trampled\nBody:\nThere is no changing ones sex/gender.  Man or woman, boy or girl. That's it. No matter what someone does on the outside to change their appearance, it does not change who they are on the inside...down to DNA and skeletal structures.  Can't be done...sorry. God created man and woman. Done. You can't change that just because it's 2021. God did not put an expiration date on His teachings. Respect the student, of course.  We all deserve kindness and love. But allow the person to be called by their name instead of others being forced to use a pronoun they know is wrong.  By forcing this on students - along with permitting transgender students to use whichever restroom or changing room they choose - is just going to create problems for everyone.  Use a private bath or changing room. Creating punishments for teachers and students is just going to create an environment of resentment and many more problems for everyone involved. Think strongly before acting on this. Allow the use of first and/or last names to be acceptable.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is terrible formulation of policy. All reference material used in the formulation of this policy were one sided in favor of the transgender delusion.  Parents and adults should remain firmly grounded in reality and evidence based facts. There are only two genders. But as children flirt with other ideas and values they should know that parents and adults remain stable and emotionally grounded. Traveling on this adolescent adventure with your children is toxic and pernicious for all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Sex and gender are interconnected. For nearly every human being born, biological sex will correspond with genital development in the womb. And gender, contrary to the idiotic, pseudoscientific paganism of the gender theory set, is not some free-floating set of biases we bring to the table. Males and females have different qualities in a variety of functions, attitudes, desires and capabilities. In every human culture — indeed, in every mammalian species — meaningful distinctions between male and female remain. To reduce children to genderless unicorns simply awaiting hormonal guidance from within piles absurdity upon absurdity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is critically important for the well-being and education of all children that they be provided a \"safe and supportive learning environment free from discrimination and harassment.\" Pre-eminently among this learning environment issues is the nature of the identity of the student from the student's own perspective and practice, not the perspective of the school administration. The issue of identity, access, rights, and participation go far beyond such aspects as bathroom use, of course. However, since opponents of rights measures turn to bathroom issues, we must address them. Schools have many procedures in place to ensure the safety and physical and emotional comfort of our students. Students cannot just go where they please and do what they please, and bathrooms are among the areas of greatest focus. Boys (and girls, for that matter) cannot just go where they please; if there is any harassment anywhere, teachers and administrators are on it to stop it immediately and ensure it does not happen again. To continue following the most common false scenario presented, that boys will have \"unfettered right\" to enter the girls' bathrooms: the issue here is identity, not whim. Schools do not allow any student unfettered right to do anything, and schools are also thoroughly engaged with minors with regard to their consistent, self-proclaimed but also fully-lived identity. A boy who decided to \"give it a try\" going into the girls' rooms would be reported by the girls, disciplined by the administration, and - frankly - have a lot more to explain to his peers about his supposed identity than any rule book would require. To be more succinct: we are not that naive, and we have procedures in place to prevent such false equivalencies. In the meantime, in real classrooms, schools, and bathrooms, transgender youth (in particular boys) suffer real emotional and physical abuse by those who bully them in those bathrooms with which adults have forced them to identify. The trauma of identity is already deep enough; to add the truly unbearable load of further abuse by those peers who are intolerant of non-norm behavior is cruel and dangerous. It leads certainly to an environment in which the transgender child cannot concentrate on learning; in horrifying cases all too common, to self-destructive behaviors. We must, as a country which proclaims its dedication to freedom to at the very least allow individuals the freedom to discover and live their own identity. We in the schools are prepared to support and protect all children, both as they learn who they are and as they learn whom others are, and how to treat them with dignity and respect. Let's begin with our laws backing up what we say we believe in.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

What is at stake in these policies is a basic issue of human rights: the right of students to access public education without having to sacrifice their identity, or their safety. In considering this policy, it is also important to think of what not passing this legislation means. The alternative to ratifying this document is not a neutral stance, it is an active choice to discriminate against and marginalize students on the basis of gender. The importance of this policy extends beyond its direct effect on the inclusion and well-being of transgender students. Public schools are where most kids learn the social skills, values, and practices that come to define and shape their adult selves. Passing this policy would be a meaningful step towards developing learning environments that model acceptance, allyship, and compassion, not just for trans students but for all members of the community. For these reasons, as well as those that have been listed by other contributors, I am in full support of this legislation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These guidelines address common issues regarding transgender students in accordance with evidence-based best practices and include information, guidance, procedures, and standards relating to: compliance with applicable nondiscrimination laws; maintenance of a safe and supportive learning environment free from discrimination and harassment for all students; prevention of and response to bullying and harassment; maintenance of student records; identification of students;  protection of student privacy and the confidentiality of sensitive information; enforcement of sex-based dress codes; and student participation in sex-specific school activities, events, and use of school facilities.\n\n---\n\n## Public Comment\nComment ID: 96347\nTitle: Support\nBody:\nI am writing in support of the Model Policies on the Treatment of Transgender Students because students who feel safe and are validated at school learn more and can better contribute to their communities and careers. As a graduate of Virginia public schools who has worked directly with Charlottesville City students, I can speak first-hand to the importance of safe and welcoming classrooms. Young people who don’t feel safe at home often need school to be a warm and supportive environment - these Model Policies are an important step to ensuring that can happen for trans and nonbinary students in the Commonwealth of Virginia. GLSEN's 2019 National School Climate Survey shows that transgender and nonbinary students feel less safe at school and miss school more often because of feeling unsafe compared to their cisgender peers. Transgender and nonbinary students also report higher rates of victimization and discrimination than their peers, especially regarding respect for their names and pronouns and access to bathrooms and locker rooms. Transgender and nonbinary students should feel safe and included in their learning communities. No one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against in their school, which is a place where they are supposed to be able to learn and be a part of a community that accepts them for who they are. Schools teach students how to succeed but they also teach students how to treat each other. This proposed rule will make Virginia schools a better place to learn for transgender and nonbinary students, which creates a better learning environment for all.  Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students. Sincerely, Courtney Fox\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is complete overreach by the state. There are multiple ways to protect transgender students without 99% of the ideas listed here.  The last year has completely exposed how little you care about students and education and showed how very agenda driven everything is. The loyalty is certainly not with any children or their families. To say I am shocked and disappointed with VA and FCPS is an complete understatement. These guidelines are not about protecting transgender students, or anyone really. This is a power grab. We simply won't be sticking around to find out how much further you can go. Like many of our friends with kids have already done this year, we'll move out of state if this continues. Please just stop. Its getting to be too much and ridiculous.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Being trans is real, and it's very important to let trans people be who they want to be. As a trans person I truly just want to be able to be myself without being scared for my safety, and that doesn't hurt anyone. Please support trans students. I want them to be able to grow up in environments that allow them to explore their identities safely.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I can’t believe this is even up for discussion in 2021, but of course it is sigh. I have hope that the majority of our representatives will recognize how important the ability to use the correct restroom is to trans kids; to deny them this basic right would be one more system telling them they don’t belong in public spaces and can’t live freely as themselves. I fully support any and all efforts to permanantly secure these rights and hope our elected officials consider how their kids would feel were they in the same boat.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

All school children deserve to be treated respectfully and with consideration, regardless of age, gender identity, or gender expression. This can only foster better learning. I have a response for those that oppose. Those that oppose have a few reasons. 1. Trans women in bathrooms and changing rooms will endanger young cis girls. This has been addressed time and time again in public restrooms as being a non issue, why would it be any different in high school? Also stalls offer plenty of privacy. 2. If you're born male, you are a man and if you are born female, you are a woman. This has been disproved by scientist and the average person is not more qualified than scientists and peer reviewed research to make this type of statement. 3. It goes against the Bible! First off, seperation of church and state is essential and secondly, \"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus”  (Galatians 3:28). Lastly 4. You are taking away my right as a parent in how I raise my child. As many have mentioned, that is what other options like home schooling are for. No one if infringeing on your rights by fostering an inclusive learning environment.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My heart breaks when I read a lot of the other comments and all the ignorance that surrounds this issue.  Students need love and support, especially those who feel different, and are looked at as different by society. I feel any argument against this bill would be an argument copied and pasted from arguments against allowing African American's to be treated as equal, to allow white students and black students to date and eventually marry, to allow students who are homosexual to god-forbid use the bathroom with other students.  For a student to come out as transgender, is more difficult and braver than anything these negative commenters have ever done in their life.  They aren't risking all the horrible things they will be subjected to by these negative commenters so they can go into a different bathroom.  They are risking it all because they have to be true to themselves.  Please support our students, all of our students! Be on the right side of history.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The earlier we display to our youth that transgender people are people who deserve respect, the sooner it will be normalized (as it should be!). This is not impacting students who are not transgender and it is not promoting students to change but rather it is a way to demonstrate respect and support for those who are going through the process of changing. I support! This can make for a bettter tomorrow and a more inclusive generation! - This is coming from a straight, cisgender, college aged female who believes in basic human rights!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We need to find a way to encourage and love EVERYONE, and that includes those who are both for and against the sexual identity movement. I'm concerned that these policies take away student privacy, encourage questioning about one's own identity, and prevent a true change of heart. First, I'm struck by the tone and reach of these policies. They seem very punitive rather than encouraging. When did we stop talking to each other and encouraging mutual respect?  Now it seems we write policies to penalize people for having differences of opinion. We replace teaching each other how to be respectful, courteous and loving with policies that force people to fall in line.  You simply cannot change the heart through overbearing policy. I'm concerned that this is an attempt to normalize transgender when this situation is not at all normal. Many kids need to work through a period of sexual questioning before they are comfortable in their own bodies. It's part of growing up and maturing. Those who are older and make the choice to transition can certainly make that choice, but this is not something that should be actively encouraged and pushed on to our children. I'm concerned about the privacy issues as well. I certainly don't want my children sharing bathrooms with people of the opposite sex just because they claim they identify as the same sex. People (kids) will take advantage of ambiguous gender boundaries, and it will be difficult to discern who's faking it and who is not. I'm in favor of fully transitioned people using the same bathroom as the sex they've transitioned into. That makes sense. But until then, keep bathrooms and sleeping arrangements, etc. separate to protect the privacy of others. I feel like you all are doing this to accommodate a few at the cost of the majority of students who identify simply as male/female. Unfortunately those students will end up being shamed for their own identity and penalized for not using all the correct identifying terms. In addition, you are undermining the parents' relationship with their children. Parents should be having these conversations with their kids, not the school. The school needs to immediately inform a parent if any student expresses sexual identity questioning or a desire to transition. Perhaps with that notification, the school can help guide parents to resources that would help the discussion, but the parents need to be the main voice to the child here. Not the school. This is a VERY slippery slope. I am in favor of finding some solution to ensure that people who feel the need to transition are embraced with love. But I am not in favor of any of these actions, and I fervently oppose adopting this policy. Finally, I close by saying that you all need to focus more on teaching our students than this type of initiative. Please do your jobs!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This allows school personnel to insert themselves into the life of a child and drive a wedge between them and the parent. Not using correct pronouns is not violence and should not be a reason to contact Child Protective Services. Also, I do not want boys to be allowed to enter a girls bathroom without being stopped. This opens the door to all kinds of issues. If there is a transgender kid and they would prefer a different bathroom, give them access to a completely separate private bathroom. They should NOT under any circumstances enter the bathroom of the opposite sex. This will protect all parties. Another consideration is if a female who feels they are a boy enters the boys bathroom could be hurt by the biological males. They need to be protected as well and should use a separate bathroom if they do not want to enter the girls bathroom. All this to say, is the transgender conversation should happen at home with parents and should not be influenced by school personnel AND all parties (females, males and transgenders) should be and feel protected in school bathrooms.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

When it comes to protective factors, studies show that LGBTQ+ youth who attend schools with a Gender & Sexuality Alliance (GSA) and anti-bullying policies, who can use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity, and who have their chosen name and pronouns respected report better mental health outcomes (up to 50% decrease in suicidal ideation).  These findings are consistent with the abundant social science research out there that substantiates the need to create and adopt policy guidelines like the ones we are presented with today--ones that celebrate gender diversity instead of stifling it. In my work with transgender and non-binary youth, I often hear accounts of experiences with hostile teachers, administrators, and counselors.  It infuriates and saddens me that, instead of affirming the identities of an already marginalized and vulnerable group, many adults in our education system are fighting for the right to discriminate against them.  The bullies in our kids' lives sometimes turn out to be the very adults who are supposed to be educating, guiding, and protecting them.  We must have policies in place that hold all school districts accountable to the same standards of equity and inclusion so that all young people can get an education while being their authentic selves.  This will also help ensure that rural youth can enjoy the same protections and supportive environments as urban youth. These guidelines will not only actively foster inclusive environments for transgender and non-binary students, but they will also provide binary, cisgender people (adults and youth alike) with meaningful opportunities to examine and discuss their own privileges related to gender identity and expression.  I strongly support these guidelines as a non-profit professional who works with youth at an LGBTQ+ center in Virginia, as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, as an academic with a graduate degree in gender and sexuality, and as an activist who has fought and organized for LGBTQ+ liberation for the past two decades.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is not what God intended.  White-Jesus would be rolling in his tomb right now if he hadn't died for all the sins of our good white Christian men to allow this ridiculous act of unconditional love.

As a transgender Virginian, I know first hand how important it is for students to live safely in their authentic gender. Data from the National Center for Transgender Equality and other researchers show that the ability of transgender people to live in thier authentic gender is a powerful protection against suicide. But those same researchers have amply documented the heartbreaking effects of violence and discrimination directed against transgender people, especially in schools. All children have the right to an education in a safe environment. These policies are an important element in fufilling that right.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Attending school with a transperson does not infringe on the religious rights of the cis person.  If this is a matter of competing in sports, or using restrooms, I suggest constituents educate themselves. Trans people are NOT trying to sneak into a bathroom to rape members of the opposite sex.  They are not trying to outsmart school sports to compete at an unfair advantage.  They are trying to be who they truly feel they are without bullying, attack, or exclusion.  Most kids are savvy enough to know a trans kid in the bathroom versus a predator.  This idea that a young CIS man can't follow a young woman into the restroom during class when halls are empty and then rape her is naive.  It can happen, and shaming trans kids won't stop it from happening.  Let us value kids and their lives and try to prevent transphobia.  Sex education is taught in schools, not just reading writing and 'rithmatic.  Lets not pretend those are things learned exclusively at home.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Our country's schools should work to create and promote progressive thinking and the first step is to treat trans people like people. It isn't immoral, it doesn't promote sexual assault, it simply states that we should do the bare minimum and treat these living breathing people as people.

It was the only support I received as a queer, nonbinary person in my entire education, and it is the most important thing I ever learned in school. This important policy will remind trans students that they are perfect as they are, and supported, despite what other discrimination and bullying they might face.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is a private matter for families to handle.

It is distracting from true education and violates the separation of church and state in  schools. These are social issues that are for parents to educate their children on, not the schools.

I work with refugee children (East African and Middle Eastern) whose parents would be appalled if their children were to experience this in school and yet they would have no idea that it is occurring.  Thus, I speak up for them. It takes the rights of parents to teach and shape their children away from them and gives it to the public schools and thus government.  It does NOT protect the vulnerable (our children) and instead opens them up to harm by encouraging them to question and make decisions in secret.  Further it opens up much opportunity for sexual abuse especially for girls/young woman as boys would be able to be in the locker rooms and bathrooms.  At a stage in life that young people are self-conscious and vulnerable, this is anxiety producing at minimum and inviting/producing physical harm at its worst. This proposal also does not allow for religious freedom.  Instead it will incriminate loving parents desire their kids to know and understand their gender as boys or girls.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Treating trans people with respect and dignity saves lives. Discriminating against them leads to poor mental, physical and emotional health outcomes and in many cases leads to suicide or self-harm. It also sends a message that violence against trans people is deemed acceptable by our schools and by our government. Do the right thing and protect your constituents. Put it in writing and demand justice for our most vulnerable populations. Nondiscrimination legislation shouldn't be a partisan issue.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The suicide and homelessness rates among LGBT+ youth are significantly higher than their peers, and one way to begin to deal with that crisis is for students to feel supported in school. No child should feel unsupported for being who they are, and there is no harm to the school or ANYONE really, to support the identities of these students. Just as it is important to support those with particular physical and learning needs, it is important to support our trans children and youth!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Including those that want to identify as transgender. Some of these policies outlined are basically saying that this small minority of students rights matter more than the VAST majority of non-transgender students. These rules would impose a threat to personal beliefs, religious rights, open the doors to harassment, sexual assault, lawsuits, etc. These are not rules of equality. Quite the opposite.  And I am 100% confident that they will do more harm than good. Keep the anti-bullying, do NOT push for COMPLETE inequality in the name of equality.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It's easy for us to come on here and tell you what to do without being in your position and for that I respect the members who must make these decisions. I understand that people have the right to identify as they choose no matter any of our opinions and even if what they identify is not supported by scientific evidence...its their right. It's also the right of the children going to public schools to be safe and have a smooth education. Having girls and boys using the same bathrooms is completely opening up the schools to tons of legal issues and safety concerns. If we want to accommodate transgender students then we need to have single person restrooms where they can go and be safe. Pro nouns change often and though I understand the need to not bullie an individual it is unfair and not ok to force other students to call a person as something they are not. Especially in younger age groups this will cause even more issues with gender identiy. If people want to call them by their choosen pronoun awesome but it should not be forced its a developmental disadvantage to children who are calling them by their correct Biological term. Also patents 110% need to be informed if their child is identifying as transgender for many reasons one being so the child can be given the recores they need and can be safe. How many children who suffer from gender identity issues kill themselves because and the people around them had no idea they where dealing with it. This is not an issue the school should be so involved with. If you are trans ok cool let people know your choosen pro noun use a bathroom in a safe place such a nurse office or a one stall bathroom, or the one of your biological sex. Schools are for education not for pushing gender disorders.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

These policies do not take child growth and development into consideration and place school ahead of family relationships. Among my many concerns are the following: -As children grow they are constantly trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in. Placing a label on students that can forever impact their future is wrong. Children should be allowed to question and wrestle with their identities without having to choose pronouns, or take any public action. -Parents are the most important people in a child’s life; it is their role to parent, not the role of the school. The role of a parent cannot be replaced. It is not the job of the school to decide what parents should or shouldn’t support. It is not the job of a school to decide what is right or wrong for a given family. It is normal for parents and children to disagree at times. It is normal for parents to have to guide a child, advise for or against something, to set rules, and to set expectations. It is not the role of a school to hold secrets from families and to drive a wedge in family relationships. -As an elementary school teacher I have had the whole gamut when it comes to family types, student backgrounds, faith, language and ability levels. I love all of my students and strive to make my classroom a place where each child is seen and loved. Children wrestle, flourish, learn and grow throughout the school year, this is normal and should be allowed to happen without the need for a label, name, or special group. -As a teacher it is my job to teach and to find ways to help all of my students to demonstrate their learning. As for the child’s role it should be to learn and grow, and to wrestle with hard questions as they do so. It is not the school’s role to push for quick fixes and/or labels, that could forever alter the life of a child or a child’s role to make such decisions without their parents’ involvement.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No person should be forced to swear or affirm the monstrous falsehood that children can be born in the wrong body. No Christian should be forced to deny God's purposeful design of male and female -- that's a denial of God Himself! This is a radical violation of religious freedom and freedom of conscience. Secretly affirm and facilitate a child's gender \"transition\" while at school! No notice to parents! This puts school administrators between a suffering child and his mother. This is designed to make children distrust and fear their parents. This is child abuse. Parents who don't \"affirm\" that their child is in the wrong body can be reported to Child Protective Services! It's Nazi time . There are NO accommodations for religious families who do not want to participate in this. There are NO exceptions for religious or conscientious objections. We require that religious rights and deeply held beliefs be respected. We are concerned about a redefinition of reproductive organs as \"a cluster of physical and anatomical features\" ... how will this apply to sexual assault? Will we not recategorize sexual assault  as simply assault since that area of the human anatomy is considered only to be a cluster of physical and anatomical features no more prone to trauma than any other set of organs?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

How long have our voices been silenced? How hard have young girls worked to succeed athletically, won college scholarships etc. all Thai will be gone. Gone. Gone. Shame on you for wanting to silence women. if someone wishes to identify as a gender other than their biological sex that’s their right; however, they should Compete in their biological sex category. They should not be discriminated for competing with boys even though they “identify as a different gender”. It’s unfair to allow biological boys to Compete with biological girls. There’s plenty of science to back this It would be helpful to review all science and research to show this new “experiment” with youth will psychologically help children who identify as trans. The current science and research does not appear to support these guidelines but rather suggest a global “experiment” with our youth, which should not be permitted. Parents have the right to guide their children and the schools have no right to take away my right as a parent to nurture and educate my child. I will always teach my children to love and respect everyone, as we are all children of God, and to respect their freedom, but I will never allow someone to steal and usurp my right as a parent to care for and educate kindly approach this matter in a different way... there are other healthy and helpful Ways. these guidelines will do great harm To all children, even those who identify as trans\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I did not expect or anticipate this and was not particularly well-prepared for it. Over the course of a year or so, she began to articulate her identity, expressing it first through hairstyle and clothing. We talked a lot about how you shouldn’t have to change yourself just because of what other people think about you. By fourth grade, she had learned what the word transgender meant and was certain that it described her. Nobody told her to be this way. Nobody forced an ideology on her. She told me who she was, and I accepted it. Our friends and family have overwhelmingly been advocates for her. I know we are fortunate for that. The two biggest challenges we’ve faced so far were related to public school. Her classmates mostly responded within a range from indifference to enthusiastic support. But when she first started openly using her transgender identity, a few of the students on her bus argued with each other about whether she was really a boy or a girl, as if she had no say in the matter herself. I don’t know if this was outright bullying or earnest confusion, but I do know it was humiliating for her regardless. At her request, we drove her to school for a week or two until she felt comfortable taking the bus again. In the meantime, her classmates and teacher helped normalize the situation and before long it became a non-issue, even on the bus. Earlier, my daughter, my spouse and I had met with the school. Everyone—the teacher, the guidance counselor, the administrator—was helpful and accommodating. We discussed bathrooms and school identification records. The only problem was that we were all in uncharted territory together. No one seemed familiar with how exactly the school policies should apply to our situation. This surprised me. Surely my daughter couldn’t be the first openly transgender student in her school. I couldn’t help but think how others had likely struggled silently on their own before her, in that very same school. Or how many others in different schools might fare if their school administrators weren’t quite so open and willing to figure things out together. These policies will help families and educators navigate the considerations of transgender students like my daughter, and make these discussions and choices easier for everyone. They will help reduce the harm done to transgender students in the absence of such guidelines. Much of the opposition to these model policies seems to be based on the incorrect assumption that schools will be forced to teach students about gender identities. Or that the privacy of cisgendered students will somehow be violated. (I would hope we can agree that no students should be violating each other’s privacy at all, regardless of their respective genders!) In reality, these policies represent a minimum set of guidelines to ensure that transgender students will not be excluded from participating fully in public schools. We need this. Because at the end of the day, transgender girls are girls, transgender boys are boys, and every LGBTQ+ student is a student. And public schools are for all students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

My comments are as follows: In general, I would strongly support that all person, regardless of their gender preferences, be treated with respect, kindness and afforded all opportunity to learn in an a physically and emotionally safe environment.  No one should live in fear. I do not support how VA proposes to apply these goals. A first concern has to do with bathroom access.  I have a 16 year old cis gender son.  I care about his wellbeing and others like him who would struggle with using an open bathroom or locker room with someone who is not similarly cisgender male.  Their discomfort matters too.  I hope this policy, without having read it, addresses the need for private changing areas. Other issues include taking disciplinary actions against anyone who fails to use the student's preferred pronoun.  This sounds draconian.  It will work itself out in time without using fear tactics.  It will take time for people to adjust but we all will.  Panic and shame over miss identifying someone is counterproductive and destructive to any person especially ones like my child has special emotional and social challenges and is covered by and IEP who struggle already with emotional regulation.  Living in fear or shame about using the wrong pronoun is not emotionally healthy for anyone.  Asking people to use the preferred gender out of kindness will work.  Most students will comply and make the adjustment if done injecting fear.  Solutions short of disciplinary actions will address most of the rest. Not requiring parental notification about gender identity issues with their child is not in the best interests of the child.  Parents know their children better than anyone.  Scientific studies have shown some children work their gender issues out in time without medical intervention.  Parents know best if this is a valid issue or if it's just some current social trend.  There is already evidence of this societal/peer pressure as a motivator not real gender identify issues.  It's a serious matter to take medical steps to change gender.  It's a difficult issue no matter what.  It should be done only when fully informed.  The parent, who knows their child best, has to be part of the equation. Not allowing any questioning of anyone entering a restroom.  How does this protect against predators?  This policy prevents administrators and teachers from protecting students.   It makes them afraid to intervene when they have serious concerns.  This is diametrically opposite to providing a physically and emotionally safe environment. It is not acceptable to assume that \"non support\" or helping a child to sort out their gender identity by parents constitutes \"abuse.\"  No one loves their child more than a parent.  No one wants their child's happiness better than a parent.  Allowing a child whose brain is still forming (whose executive functioning, judgement and reasoning skills are still biologically and scientifically documented to be still under development) to make profound life changing decisions without the involvement and counsel of their parents, the ones who love them most, is morally wrong. I have a child who is ADHD.  Support for my child's special challenges by the Arlington County Public School system was abysmal.  We had to move away.  The school did not care for my child as much as I did.  I was constantly having to advocate for him.  The incompetence and disregard for him was extraordinary.  I have no confidence in any institution, other than a family, to care for my child as much as a parent would.  While I have encountered caring teachers and staff members, this is not universal and in some cases seriously lacking and surely did not last beyond the time in that school.  Given the vast numbers of children in the schools and overall in the state, the government is not able to give my child the depth of love and attention they need.  That is the purpose of the family.  That is why the family exists...to care for the child, moment by moment, day by day for a lifetime.  Try as it might, a school cannot do that.  It doesn't have enough people, enough money or enough information.  A family never loses care for their child...never and for this reason should never be cut out of the equation. Finally, I just learned about this policy today.  I follow the news but was only made aware of this policy through a friend.  Watching the video conference reveals strong predisposition for seeking positive feedback so that the guidance can be implemented.  This creates a cause to distrust your commitment to ensuring all voices are heard.  It conveys a predisposition to seeking and ensuring only positive feedback.  This calls into question whether VA made aggressive efforts to ensure affected communities knew about this policy with adequate time to consider and make comment.  I had only a few hours to listen to the video conference, skim other comments and draft up a response.   I think your efforts to get the word out where marginal and based on my earlier comment, I suspect targeted to those audiences that would give you positive feedback so you can say, \"Most of the comments were favorable.\"  Perhaps this is not the case but all appearances say otherwise.  This is contrary to the highest principles of good public administration.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Let me first say I am always in support of anti-harrassment and anti-discrimination policies however this crosses a line which certainly is incompatible with my faith and beliefs and I am certain this hold for those others with similar morals and values.  Let me begin: 1) I do not believe that students under the age of 18 are capable of making decisions regarding gender expression of sexual identity.  If they are/would be capable, then the voting age should be lowered as well.  Making such a decision is just as important as making a decision on a candidate to represent them to form the rules of our land 2) I disagree that parents should/would be punished for encouraging children to embrace their God given sex.  Believe it or not, there is a higher power responsible for our being and everything around us.  That entity knows best and for us to decide/choose otherwise is to say we are above our Creator.  Who knows best?  Us or our Creator? 3) I do not agree that anyone can choose their gender at any time?  Do any of you seriously remember what it is like growing up in middle/high school?   Just imagine any boy or girl who would fake their gender just to be able to go in the same bathroom/locker room and then participate in various sexual activities. Maybe this is our answer to the declining American population, NOT!!!! 4) I disagree that all students should be allowed to use any bathroom or locker room they choose? Do I really have to explain to you what any boy/girl couple would do just to have the opportunity to be together during school hours? Especially those crazy, raging, pre-pubescent kids? 5) I disagree with a gender neutral dress code standard. No girl should be allowed to take their top off and compete in swimming activities, even if they claim to be a boy. 6) I disagree that parents will not be notified that their child is being interrogated by school officials for allegedly violating these policies, or have the opportunity to intervene on their child’s behalf, UNLESS the complaints are not resolved “at the school level.\" So a 6 year old violates these policies, their parent's will not be notified? If you do not see anything wrong with that, please seek help. 7) Overall, I believe these proposed policies will violate those people of religious faiths and beliefs. I want to re-affirm that I am anti-discrimination and anti-harassement. I also believe we already have such policies in place to protect transgender individuals so this bill is unnecessary. If one still agrees with this bill, then let me urge you to read more deeply.  Do you think it is right for a government entity to be able to administer drugs/medication to your child, aged 5 or older, to change their sex without YOUR consent and knowledge?  Let that sink in...\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It does nothing to help a child’s mental health; rather, it is detrimental. It dismisses the parents who have raised this child. This policy also assumes that the school personnel has a more vested interest in my child that I do as a parent. That assumption is incredibly inaccurate. When a child leaves the school system, she/he will always have family. The schools should not put a wedge in that relationship. Major life decisions (such as repeating a grade, holding back for a “gift of time” to delay kindergarten, and any  conversation about gender) should always be in the parents’ hands— not the schools! Family will always be part of that child; the school system is only part for a few years of her/his life.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am a mother and have worked as a teacher in a private school. The public schools are not the place to facilitate help for a very complex issue.  Public school teachers are often overwhelmed and stressed with many challenges and the suggestions of these policies would only make life more difficult in the classroom.  Calling a child the wrong “preferred pronoun”  could be described as “harassment or discrimination.”  Parental rights and privacy could be ignored by the school staff who try to help children explore their gender expression.  This is not the role of the public school. Studies show that most young children who are not exposed to suggestions of changing their gender ID,  learn to accept their biological sex by the end of puberty.  Children should be protected from social media, movies and TV that suggest such concepts are possible....of being able to change one’s gender.  The vulnerability of a child with autism or ADHD can be a factor as well. The public school systems will have to change their high school biology textbooks.  Science matters and science proves that one can not change your biological sex assigned at birth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I will note several. All students should be treated with respect.  However, this policy goes well beyond preventing transgender students from being bullied to forcing teachers, students, and parents to accommodate behaviors and world views that conflict with their own strongly held convictions and religious beliefs.  I also firmly believe this policy will open the door to an increase of sexual harassment and exploitation, especially of girls. The education of children is primarily the responsibility of the parents.  Failure to communicate with parents, especially about issues such as gender identity undermines the responsibility and rights of the parents to teach their children academically, socially, morally, and spiritually and breaks down trust within family relationships. Most importantly, transgenderism runs counter to God's created order as described in His Word, the Bible, and therefore should not be encouraged.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Respect requires that adults refrain from harming children by intentionally confusing them as to whether they are male or female. As a matter of science, every person is either male or female; and it is important that children are affirmed in their biological sex, not taught that it is fluid or a matter of choice. Many things are a matter of choice. Whether a person defies sex stereotypes as to career choices or child-bearing choices represent true and important choices. But one's sex is not a matter of choice. Our chromosomes determine our sex and program our bodies to develop accordingly throughout our lives. To teach a child that she might be male, or he might be female, harms the child emotionally, mentally, and physically. The recent social construct that there is a difference between sex and gender is detrimental to the healthy development of a child at all stages of development. Hormone therapy causes devastating and permanent harm to a child or adolescent. In the not-distant future, this brief period during which educational \"experts\" promoted a severely harmful ideology will rightly be viewed as an extreme form of child abuse that left far too many young victims permanently harmed. Virginia should choose the wise course, which is to let other states experiment with this harmful ideology and observe the results. In a decade, scientific data undoubtedly will show that this ideology inflicted needless and grave suffering on too many children. If adopted, these model policies will expose Virginia school officials to lawsuits by former students, who as adults will want to hold accountable those who foisted a harmful ideology on them when they were too young to understand the permanent harm they were doing to themselves by undergoing hormone therapy or endless surgeries. Finally, calling these policies \"model\" policies is deceptive and a misrepresentation unworthy of public servants. A \"model\" policy is a policy that is optional. These \"model\" policies expressly require that school districts adopt them or more extreme policies. These \"model\" policies coerce school districts into adopting these policies whether or not the elected school board members think these policies harm the children in their districts. Please reject these \"model\" policies. Generations of Virginia's children will thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is, however, plenty of evidence to show that transgender students are very much susceptible to harm when they are NOT allowed to choose. At my children’s elementary school, there are two bathrooms marked as being available for ANYONE to use. These are the most convenient restrooms for students with disabilities, students with IBS, adults visiting the building, and yes, transgender students. Basically, anyone not comfortable using one of the large public restrooms in the building. These restrooms accommodate one person at a time. This shouldn’t even be an issue. With the bullying and suicide rates of students in the LGBTQ, and particularly the transgender community, being seven times that of their peers, it would seem maximizing support and safety for ALL students would be a no-brainer.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Now at this point, if a boy plays with \"girl\" toys or the reverse, that child is at risk for being pushed into transgenderism. We need to listen to the voices of those who have chosen to detransition.  They are telling us of their regrets.  One woman with a deep voice (from the hormones meds I am assuming) stated how her body dysmophia changed toward a positive outlook once she started running not with living a trans life.  I have attended a Planned Parenthood training.  I have spoken to high school students on STDs, and sexuality. We are doing them a disservice by encouraging them to be intolerant of each person that will not change pronouns at their whim.  And we have not long lasting research on what happens as older adults when they were put on hormone suspenders early in life.  When we push transgenderism, we increased the pressure students internalize as we tell them not to embrace the gender of their body and we encourage body dysmophia.  Listen to the voices of those who have detransitioned and wish that adults would not celebrate their coming gender bending but would have encouraged gender embracement.  We know that one out of 8 women has breast cancer.  Many of these breast cancers are estrogen driven.  What hormone related cancers are we exposing our children to?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Saying that \"schools should help make decisions about gender identity without the parents being informed\" is an outright attack on the family unit.  The family unit which is the foundation of society, and the provider of stable tax dollars used to fund your schools.   While every single human being has innate dignity and worth, your approach to achieving \"equality\" it is inappropriate.   Children should be affirmed in ways that uplift the beauty of their body, and not at the cost of dismantling the truth and goodness of human sexuality.  This \"Guidance\" only fortifies regressive, sexist stereotypes by enshrining the notion that subjective feelings and preferences (like hobbies, attire, emotional patterns, or style of interaction) are what define a man or a woman.  What an insult.  Many sex specific environments have cultivated support, growth and success among women and men- which is tremendously vital during the developmental years of a child's life.  This guidance document is NOT what Virginians want.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It is totally discriminatory to take away the rights of teachers and other students by insisting that using the given name of a child instead of a name or pronoun a child chooses on any given day is harassment.  To say the child’s name is not harassment or discrimination. People are not mind readers and most people do not photographic memories.  Schools do not have the right to take away parents authority over their children.  This is what is done in communist or socialist countries were no one is free.  Many children are confused about their gender when they are young. Most outgrow the confusion naturally. Children do not need school personnel causing more confusion in their lives by going behind their parents back and teaching them about sexual identity. Gender identity is not subjective and to say it is only causes confusion in a child. How can parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex be abuse or neglect?   Parents want what is best for their children. They know their children better than any school personnel. To allow a child access to bathrooms or a locker room on any day based on the whim of the child’s sexual identity for that day takes away the other children’s right to privacy and will ultimately lead to sexual abuse. Parents should always be involved in any interrogation of their child by school officials. Parents have the God given right to know what their children are being taught. These ideas should never be school policies. These policies will inter with a teacher’s ability teach and educate the children. These policies will cause teachers and students unfair treatment by school official and administrators. None of these policies are good for our children or Virginia. They will do more harm than good even to the students they are supposed to help.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It strikes me as a well-intentioned but misguided overreaction.  As a professional scientist, I would hope that before taking actions that seem to defy common sense (such as allowing boys and girls of school age to mix in bathrooms or even overnight accommodations according to self-selection criteria that can not be criticized), one would at least seek to have a model policy based on sound and noncontroversial science.  We are not at that point yet. Why do I say that this document and part of its reasoning are based on statements or principles that are not scientifically proven?  For example, the document asserts “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six.”  This is not an uncontroversial scientific fact.  Rather, studies show that children who exhibit gender dysphoria will normally resolve that according to their sex assigned at birth in the majority of cases by the time of puberty.  This is stated, for example,  by Dr. Stephen Stathis, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, Children’s Health Hospital, Queensland, Australia, in this article, https://www.childrens.health.qld.gov.au/blog-gender-dysphoria-in-children-and-adolescents-is-not-a-phase/ .  The approach explained by Dr. Stathis and used in Queensland recognizes both the seriousness and the complexity of the problem and the need for a compassionate and scientifically and practically sound response to children who are affected by various gender-related situations.  No one solution suits all. Furthermore, a 2018 article [Littman L (2018) Parent reports of adolescents and young adults perceived to show signs of a rapid onset of gender dysphoria. PLoS ONE 13(8): e0202330. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0202330, https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0202330 ] speaks of “… the possibility of a potential new subcategory of gender dysphoria (referred to as rapid-onset gender dysphoria) that has not yet been clinically validated and the possibility of social influences and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Parent-child conflict may also explain some of the findings. More research that includes data collection from AYAs, parents, clinicians, and third party informants is needed to further explore the roles of social influence, maladaptive coping mechanisms, parental approaches, and family dynamics in the development and duration of gender dysphoria in adolescents and young adults.” Another 2018 article states “virtually nothing is known regarding adolescent-onset GD [gender dysphoria], its progression and factors that influence the completion of the developmental tasks of adolescence among young people with GD and/or transgender identity.” (Kaltiala-Heino R, Bergman H, Työläjärvi M, Frisén L. Gender dysphoria in adolescence: current perspectives. Adolesc Health Med Ther . 2018;9:31-41.  Published 2018 Mar 2. doi:10.2147/AHMT.S135432, available at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5841333/ ) Gender and its dysphoria are very complex matters about which the science is not yet settled (the science in any case can not settle the inevitable philosophical questions concerning the very meaning of the terms themselves).  In particular, it is not clear to me that it is wisest that the child should be the one allowed to make the determination about gender identity.  Children are continually interacting in a variety of ways with other children, adults, family, teachers, and professionals.  This is a complex matrix in which children are situated, and identity is an emergent phenomenon arising from such a complex set of interactions. More than the child is involved in making this determination. If I were to try to identify the most significant problem with the present document, it focuses too much on the particular child who has special needs with respect to gender issues and fails to account for the ways others need to be taken into account in dealing with that child’s issues.  I for one would have a problem in Virginia being a teacher in a public school under these guidelines since they defy common sense and I would have to be very critical of them, as stated above (but I have never been such a teacher).  I see these policies as potentially quite harmful to other children or to parents who do not agree with the principle of “fixing” a complex problem by an educational policy.  Yes, I do support the need for special care and compassionate treatment of children who experience any kind of gender dysphoria.  But the “cure” may be worse than the “problem.”  Consequently, I hope the Virginia Department of Education will truly listen to voices that do not share their perspective on these matters and revise this policy document accordingly.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We strongly encourage local school officials to develop plans and policies to enhance family engagement in their children's school, lives, and in the education community...\" The Model Policies also contradict the Fairfax County Public School system's  \"BELIEFS\" which state: \"The Dynamic and supportive partnerships among students, parents, educators, and the community are critical to meet student needs and provide enriching experiences\" and \"Families play a fundamental role in their children's education.\" Please uphold the critical and most basic relationship between parents and their children and reject the Model Policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The ways that students are treated not just by their classmates, but by their teachers, guidance counselors, coaches, and even parent teacher aides show how they can expect to be treated in the adult world.  There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever favoring the opinion that inclusion of trans students in sports has a negative effect on any of their fellow teammates.  There is no evidence favoring the lies that treating trans students with a greater dignity than they’ve been offered historically will have any negative effect on their classmates.  I am strongly and passionately in favor of these guidelines, and ask that you consider the quality of life you really want these students to have in these years that will mark their relationship to society for life.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We cannot keep making exceptions for  every exceptional problem.  It is not right to have students choosing which bathroom they would like to use.  This would lead to more bullying etc.  if a male feels like a female use the men’s room until mature.  If they then would like to become female go through the surgery etc.  same for females.  This transgender thing is way out of touch with reality.  Men play men’s games and women play their games.  Men should dress as men and the same for women.  This idea has destroyed Boy Scouts.

Trans and non-binary students are not the ones putting others' safety at risk- THEY are the ones who are overwhelingly targeted and at increased risk for violence victimization, substance abuse, suicide risk, and sexual risk than their cisgender classmates because of the stigma and transphobic culture of our society. Allow students to be equally accepted and embraced and feel safe at your school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is another attack on traditional Judeo/Christian values and beliefs.  It is also another attack on the family. These policies intentionally remove parents from the part they play in nurturing their own children.  The thought of allowing males to be present in the same changing facilities as girls  and young women will invite all forms of sexual violations .  As a parent of two girls, I believe this is a bad idea. The proposed policies provide no exceptions for parents who find them abhorrent.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Humans can only be two genders, and science (DNA) confirms this.

I firmly believe parents have the ultimate say in their children’s upbringing and so much of this legislation is laser focused on usurping parental rights and authority with their children. To the allowing of anyone, according to their gender identity, to use restrooms and changing rooms: To begin with, the very idea that a gender confused adolescent is the one driving this vehicle is terrifying. They cannot so much as vote until they’re 18 but they CAN decide to subjectively identify themselves differently than their anatomy identifies them—and everyone else is to be subject to that???? In whatever state of undress they happen to be??? And that’s okay?!?! To compound matters, not notifying parents that their daughter is sharing a changing facility with a biological male is as dangerous as it is wrong. If my daughter is abused by another student who identifies as a female but is biologically male, I would hold  the school 100% responsible—99% of parents would do the same. Beyond that, why in the world should a vulnerable teenaged girl  be subject to a young man who subjectively claims to share her gender—no! and that schools are forbidden from advising me, as the parent,  that this is taking place?! In what universe?? And that these policies allow for no exceptions based on religious faith and strongly held beliefs is WRONG. To those of a strong faith, it is clear that these laws are diametrically opposed to all we believe and how we are raising our children—and to remove our right to continue to raise our children as we see fit and according to Biblical mandates is utterly reprehensible.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There’s only so much “ignoring” a person can do, and having to deal with that everyday takes an emotional toll. It’s worse when policies aren’t on their side, as they feel like there’s no true protections, no true safe spaces in their schools. Supporting this guidance would create a welcoming environment for everyone to thrive.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I don’t want students who are already struggling with who they are to be treated poorly, but this has many serious issues. I really don’t even know where to start. Even something as simple as not allowing teachers to direct any students to the correct restroom, is absurd. I’ve had to politely call out students many times from going in the wrong restroom, not because they had gender confusion, but because they simply weren’t paying attention. It simply saves kids from embarrassment. This shouldn’t be against the rules. And if a student is really having gender issues most schools have at least one extra restroom that’s not gender specific that could be used without having to send a biological boy into the girls’ restroom or vice versa. And pronouns... Young children are just learning correct pronoun usage. I’ve listened to little ones use the wrong pronouns, not on purpose, but because they are just learning. Let’s not confuse that and hand out punishments. Let’s have some room for some common sense. And sports... more absurdity. Where are the feminists? Girl’s sports have been fought for long and hard, so are we just going to mess that up now? And one of the most disconcerting issues of all, the issue of parental rights. Parents are responsible for their children and their moral upbringing, not the state. The fact that the state is trying to use policy to keep parents out of the decisions about their own children’s upbringing is criminal. Surely, there are people smart enough to figure out policy to protect a small vulnerable population without squelching parental rights and the rights of other students! Again, where is the common sense?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I feel like many of you just wish they didn't exist or wish they just weren't trans, as if they have a choice about how they see themselves. There's no fascist agenda here, just asking people to accept that some people are different from you. I have a feeling where the \"73% of trans teens reporting experiences of verbal threats\" comes from seeing some of the comments on here. FYI: I am a cis-gendered man but I have met multiple trans people in the course of my job and they were some of the most loving, loyal people I have ever met. While I hope this encourages people to stop and think, I know this will probably not reach the people who believe differently so let me also say that I support those of you who are trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, etc. Love you all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is no question of that. And Virginia has a good anti-bullying law. But this new, proposed policy goes way beyond prevention and crosses the line into the mandatory promotion of politicized, sexualized ideology. Scientific studies and medical experts make clear the majority of children outgrow gender confusion by the time they reach puberty—it’s, at best, irresponsible to push the involuntary promotion of gender confusion in a public education setting—and, at worst, actually damaging to kids who are still developing. It encourages schools to implement across-the-board promotion of the concept that gender is “viewed as a gender spectrum” and can be “something in between or outside the male/female binary.” It declares that sex is arbitrarily “assigned” to babies at birth, rather than an intrinsic part of their biological design. This policy is \"anti-science.\" Accordingly, it is a scientifically-false statement that people are just arbitrarily “assigned” a gender when they’re born—sort of like affixing a branding label to them at the store. The policy totally divorces gender instruction from any reality whatsoever in basic DNA science and biology. It’s also important to note that the proposed policy makes clear that the Virginia Department of Education wants this radical thinking reflected in every operational part of the school—even advocating for schools to incorporate “educational content that is transgender affirming into the general education curriculum, such as history, literature and science.” The policy encourages schools to outright deceive parents: It says schools should “respect” students if they don’t want their parents to know about their new transgender identity. The suggested plan for implementing this “respect”— and the policy specifically spells this out—is that, in cases where parents are not embracing or facilitating their child adopting a new gender identity (like using a new name, pronoun, etc.), then teachers can use the child’s new identity at school, but in the presence of the parent use the original legal name and so forth. According to this policy, schools must allow boys identifying as girls, for instance, to use the girls’ bathrooms or change in female locker rooms—and this can all be done without ever notifying parents. Sadly, no one ever talks about the harm done to very young girls, for example, who feel powerless to expect physical privacy in the presence of biological males—not to mention young men who don’t want to change in front of biological girls. The proposed policy is both dangerous and lacking any basis in science and logic. But, this is what we get when the progressive ideologues are charged with managing education and teaching our children. This policy is an abomination.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Human Rights campaign reports place suicide attempt rates between 29.9% and 50%, depending on the gender of the respondent. A supportive community makes a massive difference in the emotional health of trans students, and that starts at the bottom with having their basic rights respected. If Virginia believes in the potential success of all students in its school systems, it should begin by ensuring all students have the right to be respected for their gender and presentation. Trans youth are far more at risk than they are a risk to anyone else. Since they are legally required to attend school, it should be a place where they are protected.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Putting policies in place to help transgender students will not only help those students but create an overall more understanding, empathetic and safe environment for the school as a whole.

This bully lobby has been successful at banning so-called \"conversion therapy\" but it is reliant on faulty, limited information and does not include details of professional treatment for persons seeking relief from very real trauma.  This limited, and therefore, erroneous information is the basis for the recommendations for VDOE's Model Policies.  Significant information is available for anyone who would do an even cursory review of the literature.

Children are still under the supervision of their parents. Stay our of our families. Stay our of our choice of religion. Stop trying to make everyone universal. Each child is unique. Are you also going to pass laws for helping children who want to play a violin? Of course not. Allow local communities to meet the needs of it's people. This needs to be a case by case situation. Allow provisions for single bathroom and facilities. You can't put everyone into a pigeon hole. This supports trans-humanism. Should we add AI to this bill, too? I appreciate that a few individuals may have a transgender consideration; however, you are now putting everyone else at risk and in embarrassing situations by assuming that we have to protect this small percentage. What about all the children who have not made this election? What about their privacy? What about their rights? What about the cost? Children up thru around 14/15 of age go back and forth with many different ideas and insecurities. It is not up to the state to encourage and support the personal choices of an individual. Personal choices require personal responsibility. You know like: EVERYONE NEEDS TO WEAR A MASK AND HOME SCHOOL AND STAY ON HOME ARREST UNTIL WE THE GOV'T DECIDE WHAT'S BEST. Remember \"WE THE PEOPLE\" are your employers.

This ideology goes directly against all we have known to be true of child psychology for the last century. There are hundreds of decisions we believe children are incapable of making with any level of informed maturity. we have deep understanding of how children’s minds process new information, discovery, and comprehension. Why on earth would we ever conclude a child to be an expert on the truth of what they are experiencing as it relates to their human identity? children feel many things. It is abusive for adults to steer a child into an understanding of gender and sexuality that is a mega minority amongst adults. As a community we will learn this lesson the hard way. Policies like this and the loud voices that support them should be held accountable for each LGBTQ suicide in the next two decades. which will, and already are, on the increase. Nobody desires anybody to be bullied. That is not the issue. Each child should receive an education. That is not the issue. No child should be used as a tool buy an adult to advance a novel social agenda. I’m grieved at the depth of pain and consequence that is on the horizon.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The government-funded school system should not be promoting an agenda that is contrary to the laws of God and nature. Virginia children should not be exposed to teaching that leads them to question their gender identity. Children are not in school to celebrate their identity. They are going to school to learn the essential skills to move into adulthood, and to prepare to work and provide for themselves and their future families.  Life skills are important to teach, as well as the teaching of ethics. If instruction in morality cannot be given because of \"separation of church and state,\" how can you justify teaching something as personal as how one identifies themselves with regard to gender.  Alternative lifestyle instruction has no place in the educational system.  Perhaps you should consider teaching children how to protect themselves from human predators who would steal their innocence, and perhaps their very lives, if they think they can get away with it. And while I'm commenting, let me be clear, any child harmed by your educational policies should have every means of legal redress for harm incurred under your laws passed in the Va House and Senate. My lawsuit, should my child be harmed, would include each one of you by name. Again, I repeat, leave your personal agendas at home, Lawmakers. You have no right to push your personal agenda in Virginia's schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

To allow students to whimsically select which gender they relate to, and then to use bathroom facilities, locker rooms, and (not mentioned yet but it's coming ... to allow those same individuals the opportunity to athletically compete against their opposite sex) clearly tips the scale of justice in the favor of the transgender student and ignores the rights and interests of the straight student. As an administrator in a public school environment,  the logistical nightmare of adhering to these self-interest proposals is insurmountable. Since when are educators evaluated on the merits of their transgender sensitivities?  Students in today's academic climate have a difficult time meeting the state standards imposed by the Standards of Learning (which is another matter all unto itself).  Just check out the results of the English 11 EOC Writing scores over the last several years!  Write persuasively the VDOE commands, and now you want to impose politically correct \"pronouns\" to the confusion?  Students today have a hard enough time writing a complete sentence which is grammatically correct and free from spelling, syntax, subject-verb agreement, and capitalization errors ... and now the VDOE wants to impose yet another layer on top of those expectations and punish those who just can't seem to remember the correct pronoun to use now (teachers and students alike)! Stop the madness.  Stop catering the very narrow minded special interests and start looking out for the good of the general public, students, administrators, and teachers in the school systems.  Use common sense and vote \"No!\"  We have bigger fish to fry!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Its ambiguous terminology and definitions, unacceptably vague legal terms, and sweeping assertion of school authority, jeopardize the safety and privacy of both students and staff. Generally, the Policy: 1) gives unprecedented and illegal power to schools to intervene between parents, students and medical providers; 2) jeopardizes the safety of girls in particular by removing all legal recourse to abuse of privacy in places where they have the legal right to emotionally and physically secure facilities such as restrooms, lockers and overnight accommodations, and 3) places an untenable burden on staff and students who have philosophical, scientific or religious objections to claims by other students and to the ideological and scientific assertions of the Model Policy. 1)  The Policy explicitly allows schools to conceal from parents consultations with minors (p.12). Such intentional secrecy is both illegal and tremendously harmful to students and families.  School staff at best have a highly limited awareness of the student's needs and circumstances, and are in no position to unilaterally determine the best interests of the student.  To intervene intentionally, in secret, on such a sensitive topic is prejudicial, wrong, and illegal. Relatedly, the provisions of p. 13 are unacceptably broad and vague, and grant inappropriate and dangerously broad authority to the school for decisions it is not qualified to make.  Parents, not the school, are best suited to provide support and make medical decisions for their child.  To equate questions of how to handle a student's request for name or pronoun changes with child abuse--as this language broadly does--puts the best interests and health of the child at great risk and usurps the ability and rights of parents to care for that child. It is not the place of the school board, or staff, who have but a momentary glimpse into the child's psyche, circumstances, needs and health, to intervene in ways that can have lasting adverse psychological impact on the student, including by damaging the fabric of family relationships.  These provisions of secrecy are both illegal and harmful, and they are absolutely unacceptable. 2) In seeking to provide safety and prevent \"emotional harm\" for transgender students (p. 16, 17, 18) the Policy puts a far greater number of students at risk of physical and emotional harm, by removing any ability to protect designated female spaces. Any male can access protected female spaces and inflict harm, with no ability on the part of students or staff to question the student/staff, as the Policy bars staff and students alike from confronting students upon entrance to facilities.  Decades of privacy provisions designed to protect women and girls are removed, giving any intruder with ill intent full access to young girls.  This provision will lead inevitably to abuse and assault, and nowhere in this Policy is protection provided. Such tragic abuse will rightfully lead to lawsuits and damages against the school that actively opened the door to assault. This policy must be altered BEFORE girls and women are irreparably harmed by those who will abuse it. There is no emotional harm to transgender students if gender neutral bathrooms are accessible, and female spaces are protected. Until the safety of half the student population can be assured, the policy cannot place the safety of a few over the safety of the many. Relatedly, the Policy denies parents and students the right to know if their child will be sharing lockers, facilities or overnight accommodations with a student of the opposite biological sex.  The Policy provides no means of ensuring the child's safety from abuse of this provision, and harms the entire student body by placing the claims of a few students prejudicially above the safety of all the others.  The Policy must find a way of accommodating the safety of students, particularly of girls, and must be modified accordingly.  The policy gives transgender students the right to any accommodation, while stripping the rest of the student population of the presumptive right to emotional and physical safety and requiring the majority, not a tiny minority, to affirmatively request exceptions for lodging and facilities. 3)  The Policy provides no protections for staff or students who have objections of conscience, science or religion to unquestioning affirmation of gender identity over biological sex.  Further, the training, terminology, phrasing and resources are entirely one-sided in the perspectives presented.  Gender identity and transition are developing medical fields, and the resources cited largely rely on a handful of advocacy groups and small numbers of medical professionals who have authored policy papers for associations, often heavily funded by advocacy groups. There are countless medical professionals and scientists who do not support unexamined gender identity affirmation, and the science is not one-sided as presented in this Policy explanation. This Policy relies primarily on advocacy groups and makes no provision for staff, students and families who may choose to respectfully disagree with the philosophical, ideological, and scientific claims asserted by this Policy.  Whether such objections are scientific, philosophical, or religious, they cannot simply be subverted wholesale by the school or students, particularly if there are consequences or damages involved in expressing such objections. This is particularly the case as the definitions are so vague as to be nearly meaningless, and therefore open to abuse.  To cite but one example, the discussion of Student Identification on page 12 describes a student as transgender if there is \"more than a casual declaration of gender, but...not necessarily requir[ing] any substantiating evidence nor any required minimum duration of expressed gend...

This is about protecting and supporting children who identify as trans or non binary. It is not about stripping away parental rights, or forcing/encouraging children to change genders. LGBTQ+ youth experience disproportionately high levels of bullying and depression specifically because they often have no support. Many people seem to think that this is a “choice” (it isn’t) for trans kids. If that’s the case, then obviously you should support putting an infrastructure in place with counseling and resources that allow a child to understand and make informed decisions about what they’re experiencing. Again, these are children. Sad to see that so many people’s bigotry is so deeply ingrained that they’re willing to allow a child to suffer, rather than attempt any modicum of understanding. That said, trained staff should be handling these matters, not teachers who are already overworked and underpaid.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I continuing to deny acknowledgment and protection of this group, we are perpetuating a state that has been a time and again in education. It is imperative that we make the students feel safe, supported, and heard by offering them protections that are clearly desperately needed. We have an opportunity to address this now, rather than allowing it to be another case of Virginia falling behind.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Now to my issue: Transgender used to be called \"Gender Dysphoria\" which is a mental issue. We are born biological male or female. To teach that this is normal and that kids can decide which gender they are is dangerous. The attempted suicide rate for the Transgender population being 45% or higher should tell us that. This isn't because of bullying, you can look at different communities where bullying is higher and the suicide rate is substantially less. So if bullying is not the issue we go back to medical mental issue. To have boys in girls restrooms and vice versa because of how they identify or how their parents/society tells them to identify is dangerous and unacceptable.  If anyone really cared about the issue they would look at the root cause and really do some good, but it seems in our current climate this kind of talk is \"Hate Speech\". This doesn't even cover the males who identify as females playing female sports and dominating. How is that fair to our daughters/women out there putting the work in? This type of legislation is dangerous and opens the doors to many more problems ranging from criminal acts to completely diminishing 'women's rights'. Now lets talk about the same scenario and restrooms/locker rooms.  I shouldn't have to explain why we have female and male restrooms and it has nothing to do with how you identify but your biology.  Ending, everyone deserves to be loved and is created with purpose, but real, true love is sometimes not easy. If you love someone, you tell them when something is wrong and you get them help. Instead, it is my fear that this type of legislation amplifies the problem by pandering to things that aren't true just because it might make you or them feel good.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The schools' role is not to enforce LGBT status in families. Biological males should not be allowed to compete in women's sports.? Males are generally taller and stronger which gives them a competitive edge in most sports. Females are at risk of injury from the stronger males. It is wrong to make the majority of students uncomfortable in bathrooms, showers,  and locker rooms because a transgender does not like his or her biological characteristics.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am a pediatric physician and also parent to 3 VA public school students. I feel that any transgender student has the same right as my cis-gendered children to feel safe, valued, and protected at school. I have witnessed the mental health crises that arise when a transgender child is bullied and denied basic rights. This policy aims to create a learning environment that will protect those who are the most vulnerable in terms of depression and suicidal ideation (for sobering scientific facts about this truth, here is a great resource: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/LGBTQ_MentalHealth_OnePager.pdf ). I entrust these decisions to be made by the experts who wrote this policy - psychologists, school counselors, lifelong educators, healthcare providers - and not random people driven by religious zealotry and fear who have made comments opposing this policy. I am also Christian and I know of many religious and spiritual people who believe in tolerance and the value of all humans, including transgender students.

I believe it is not appropriate to bring the subject of one’s sexuality into open discussion in school.  I feel this would violate the norms of my faith and expose my children to influences that would only serve to confuse them.  While I am sensitive to the plight of those individuals who may struggle with their gender identity or sexual orientation, I don’t feel that it applies to enough students where it needs to become a focal point of education.  I am also concerned that such an effort may take the form of “recruitment” toward certain gender and sexuality ambivalence that are mere steps in the typical evolution of self identity in childhood and adolescence, and may have the tendency to arrest that development if children are encouraged to identify in a non-binary way because it is “new,” “cool,” or “rebellious.”  I think if you start doing this, you are going to do more harm than good.  How about better drug abuse prevention efforts?  Can we not spend our resources and time in a direction that really needs it, or are we more interested in serving the needs of the few over the needs of the many?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Boys should not be allowed in females bathrooms or locker rooms, as well as girls should not be allowed in boys locker rooms or bathrooms, no matter which gender the child identifies with. Girls should DEFINITELY not be allowed to go Topless. All of these actions could most definitely could cause sexual misconduct. Boys allowed to wear skirts and dressing as girls is an open invitation for bullying, as well as girls dressing as boys. Allowing these kinds of behaviors in schools will most certainly cause a lot of confusion for many kids with their sexual identities. This is absolutely not ok!!! If these new policies are allowed in schools certainly many kids will be going to private schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My children are not legal adults; they are my dependents and as such I 100% have a right to know if they are exploring a change in their sexuality. This undermines our role as parents and also as a Catholic family. Gender identity is not a legal and political issue but a human, fundamental issue and one that the church has a strong opinion about. If faculty and staff at a school are allowed to let students wear hijabs and be exempt from celebrations involving different cultures or faiths, why are Christian students not allowed to be exempt from adhering to this law? If you are going to say that it is up to the family to practice those beliefs and to keep those beliefs at home, then you are contradicting your earlier statement about keeping parents out of the loop. How can we discuss these matters with our children if we do not know what they are choosing at school? If a child is allowed to be an athiest or to choose his/her own gender without risk of being taken out of his/her home, I also do not see why we must have a removal of science by threat in this law as well. The familial structure is now at risk in an already fragile time period. If you are worried about acceptance and tolerance at the family level, then this new policy should be worded differently to include mandatory counseling services as needed and not simply \"parents will not know and will lose their child.\" This is infuriating and frightening. My children will not be bullied into a belief system that does not uphold their Christian values and I would never ask that of a non-Christian family either.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My top concerns include: As a parent, it is my job to nurture my children and facilitate the development, growth, and well-being of my children.  As such, it is completely unconscionable that decisions as serious as gender identity would be handled without either parental knowledge or parental consent of school-aged children.  Schools require parental consent for activities as simple as field trips and participation in sports.  In no way should the school be allowed to help minors make decisions as serious as gender identity without informed parental guidance and consent. The draft policy stipulates that potential incidents of discrimination, harassment, or bullying would not be brought to a parents’ attention unless they are not resolved “at the school level.”  This is counter to any other conduct of disciplinary action in schools, for example in-class behavior issues, attendance, etc where parents are informed and are allowed to care for their children as appropriate.  Removal of parents from the resolution of these situations could harm parent-child relationships and force minors to make decisions without the advice of their legal guardians. As a parent of daughters, I am also particularly concerned about provisions that would allow the use of bathrooms and locker rooms by either gender with no notice or means for parents or even school officials to defend my daughters against individuals who would abuse such a system in a predatory manner, to the potential harm of the health and well-being of my daughters and the daughters of other parents. As written, there is no consideration for religious or ideological views that vary from this proposed legislation.  As parents, we have the constitutional right to exercise religious freedom free from government persecution, and that includes in how we care for and raise our children.  We have the ability to opt in and out of any number of school programs based on religious or philosophical views, why is this topic different?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Education is about more than what textbooks say and its more than how to solve equations. Education is also about learning how to be a good citizen and I'm happy to see that this will now involve recognizing the gender identity of the students, not only so that they can feel accepted and supported, but also so that their cisgender classmates are exposed at an early age to classmates whose gender identity isn't the same as their own and that that's not weird or scary. It's just different. I heartily support these guidelines.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This should be a parents job with their own children. The schools job is to educate children in History, math, science, English, and the arts, and should not dictate what teachers need to teach concerning sexual issues. The problem our schools are facing is not because of gender issues, but lack in teaching the core courses and leaving everything else to parents. The government need to stay out of what are parental rights.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Public education systems are entrusted with the responsibility to serve all of our students and provide responsive, inclusive, and safe learning environments. Policies that actively support transgender students are associated with higher rates of school attendance, higher academic achievement, and improvements in both mental and physical health. As public entities entrusted with student safety, we should always act with the most vulnerable students in mind. This policy would protect previously vulnerable students and create safer, more inclusive learning environments. As a transgender educator who went through public schools in Texas, this type of guidance would have been life changing for my own personal growth and development. This does nothing but support marginalized students and does not negatively impact any other groups as many of the other comments suggest/imply it would!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The moral issue is fairly simple: Trans and nonbinary students don't \"choose\" their gender any more than they choose their race or ethnicity; they discover as they age what gender identity is natural for them. It is always wrong to single out a child for separate treatment, segregated schooling, or second-class status based on a non-chosen characteristic. Trans and binary kids need access to restrooms like any other human beings, and they deserve full participation in sports, gym class, and everything else we taxpayers pay for so our children and our neighbors' children can thrive and learn. Therefore, it only makes sense to allow these kids, like all kids, to use the restrooms that correspond to their gender identity; to do otherwise is to subject them to endless harassment. Even if this issue is new to many educators and voters, many of whom have no transgender friends or neighbors or coworkers, that is no reason to deny its seriousness to the small minority among us who live with their transgender identity every day, including the children in three families I happen to know through my neighborhood and church.

The Trevor Project has done comprehensive studies show that LGBTQ youth are 40% less likely to commit suicide if they have one supportive adult in their life. They also show episode of LGBT victimization, such as physical or verbal harassment or abuse, increases the likelihood of self-harming behavior by 2.5 times on average. Training and equipping schools to be able to provide the support, resources, and protection for trans students will literally save lives. It does not hurt anyone to protect trans youth. It does, however, hurt and can even potentially kill trans youth to not create supportive and safe environments for them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I agree that no one should be put down or bullied for any reason. But this? This is outrageous! You are saying that an 18 year old male can walk into a girl's bathroom, without question, where my 14/15 year old daughter could be changing/using the restroom unsupervised. How is the safe? This is crossing way over the line of indoctrination. Yes, many students are questioning who they are in their teenage years, but it is not the school's job to tell them who they are. Parents know their children, it is their job to parent. It is not the school's job to help a confused young person explore their gender identity. And where does it stop? The law states that these students may not identify as male or female? What will the school say to them? Tell them they can be anything they choose that day? Ridiculous! Our schools need to protect ALL students. This law is protecting the few while putting many at risk. NO, I am not saying that transgendered students are violent sex offenders, I am saying that once young people understand what they can get away with under this law, that there will be innocent students hurt. By all means, train your guidance counselors, principals, gym coaches, athletic trainers, teachers, etc., what to do and how to guide students who reach out to them. But this is taking it TOO FAR!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

They articulate views - such as the view that \"Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic\" - that are unproven and far different from those of many parents. Through its blanket endorsement of views like these, the VDOE has gone far beyond the path the General Assembly prescribed. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition, gender dysphoria prevalence accounts to 0.005-0.014% of the population for biological males and 0.002-0.003% for biological females. There are few studies examining adult outcomes for children who present as transgender, and those few studies indicate that more than 2/3rds of pre-pubescent children who present as transgender eventually drop their trans identity and desist to their biological sex. Given that there are no objective or reliable methods to differentiate between temporary or mistaken transgender identities and persistent ones, schools should not be promoting the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to engage in sometimes irreversible \"gender transitions.\" In the laudable desire to provide support to the small percentage of students with Gender Dysphoria, the school system cannot disregard the health and welfare of all other students. Schools have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students. No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex. Finally, the model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children and have the potential to pit children against their parents when it comes to important questions about sex and gender identity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a parent and educator I am devastated that this would even be considered. It's unacceptable to think that a teacher can correctly associate a students gender from one day to the next. Am I supposed to ask each student as they enter my room what gender they are identifying with for the day or take a poll at the beginning of every class? I am really starting to get confused as to what my role as a teacher is. Is it to teach the extensive content that has been laid out for me and that ultimately determines my worth as a teacher for those that teach SOLs or to forego that curriculum and spend my class time talking about feelings and sexual orientation?  Biologically speaking there are two genders, sexual identification is not something that the public school system should be able to actively \"teach\" to my or anyone else's child. Young children are very easily influenced by Hollywood \"trends\" which often has nothing to do with how they truly feel or identify, but rather what they can do to draw attention to themselves. Does no one see an issue with students of the opposite sex using the same restroom? Is a young man trying to sneak a peek at the opposite sex going to be excused for his actions simply because he decided to identify as female for the day.  Individuals that are actually in the school would know that this is a very real possibility. And we also know that nothing would happen to this child because taking responsibility for your actions are wrong.   That is not something that I as a parent is comfortable with. I don't want any member of the opposite sex using the same bathroom as my son or daughter. This is a very slippery slope indeed.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is considered child abuse and neglect from the board of education. It goes against our children’s civil rights. Our children should be cared for not subjects of social experiments. This bill is a threat to my children and we as parents have the right to stop education board on applying political issues into their system, it is against the law and they should stick to teaching the ABC’s this is easily proven to be child abuse!

Youth who have access to supportive environments, safe environments, and environments where they know they can access support in times of crisis are more likely to be able to thrive. For some youth who do not have parental support, school can be the only safe place for them to be themselves. For others, school is a part of living a whole and healthy life. This protocol is clear and comprehensive. It addresses the needs of both gender diverse and cisgender students by seeking to eliminate gender-related barriers to successful education. I strongly support the implementation of this policy and believe it could be a model policy for other state boards of education.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is the job of teachers to ensure a positive, safe, and nurturing learning environment for all students. Teachers have the power to either create a safe space in their classrooms or a hostile and alienating space for trans and gender-nonconforming students. As stated in the policy document, \"a 2019 national survey by GLSEN found that 84 percent of transgender youth feel unsafe at school.\" A study from the American Academy of Pediatrics (Toomey et al., 2018) found over 50% of trans* male participants and almost 30% of trans* female participants had attempted suicide at some point in their lives. These rates compare to around 9% for cisgender boys and girls. This is a pretty clear indicator that trans* students feel unsafe either at school or at home. I should add as someone who studied molecular biology and genetics, biological sex is way more complex than simply X and Y chromosomes and secondary sex characteristics, and has nothing to do with gender (a self-concept) or sexuality (to whom someone finds attraction). For anyone who is curious about the distinction between these concepts, you may find this site informative: https://courses.lumenlearning.com/atd-hostos-child-development-education/chapter/defining-sex-gender-and-sexuality/\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It should be treated with care which does not mean allowing boys in girls rooms or girls in boys rooms. As adults, you need take a stand and acknowledge to the young people who look to you for guidance, that gender is not something that you can change, it is something that you are born with. Acceptance of reality is vital to mental well-being and teaching that gender is fluid and changeable is not only wrong on many levels, it is dangerous and in many cases, lethal. This is not a subject to which you should bow to the PC police, children are much more important than the temporary and fickle approval of the mob. Rather, you should teach the children the actual truths of biology, proven by science, not the science of feelings to which the transgender ideology belongs. You should be encouraging parents to have this conversation with their children and realize that it is not the place of the public school system to push a social agenda.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Transgender students are at a higher suicide risk than their peers, and often experience harassment that can have long-term consequences on their mental and emotional well-being.  This document ensures a safer environment for young people to learn and to diminish traumatic experience within the school system.  It is informed by medical and psychiatric expertise, not individuals in the community who fear what they do not, or will not, understand.  This is an important distinction when determining best action-- do we want to pursue action based in evidence or action based in fear? My hope is that most of us want our children to grow and learn in environments that foster inclusion and safety.

By definition a minor has no legal rights The school does a serious injustice, without providing parental legal recourse, to the parents when the school shelters, from the parents, any and all activities that occur while in the school’s care that “they” the school deem necessary (Pre-K through Senior year) The school creates undue stress and confusion to the majority of students, our children, who are taught and understand the biological, physiological, physical fact-based sciences and differences between a male and female.  VDOE are you demanding that our children and ourselves “pretend” that a biological male is a female, and/or a biological female is a male?  The Emperor’s New Clothes Females are typically physically weaker than males The school will create a biased environment against biological female students by forcing them to athletically compete against biological males in the same arena The school will create an unsafe environment for those student athletes and others females in the locker and restroom settings, especially while attending to personal hygiene matters such as: changing, showering and relieving themselves. During these times, vulnerable female students are out of the public view, away from the general student population and at a greater risk from being the object of a physically stronger biological male(s) who may have ill intent and motives. By moving in this direction the school is totally ignoring the physical, emotional and behavioral responses that occur in puberty and human sexual development between males and females. If this VDOE Transgender agenda is truly the path the VDOE decides to take, including all the forthcoming law suits to be paid for by the taxpayers, as reasonable consideration, I demand that simultaneously with any such approval, Parent-Student Vouchers are included.  This will allow those parents and legal guardians to reclaim their responsibility and take their child’s educational formation somewhere else.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

That they would encourage and enable school personnel to take actions without parental knowledge and consent undermines the public’s trust in the schools. They are in stark opposition to the historic rights of parents to nurture and guide their children as they see fit in a free society. Furthermore, when school personnel are put in the position of accepting and affirming thoughts and actions presented to them by inexperienced students who are frequently susceptible to the suggestions of peers and the media, they would find themselves in the untenable and uncomfortable position of cooperating with this immaturity. Disruptions to the orderly instruction and operation of the school could be endless once students find they can get adults’ full attention regarding gender-based concerns and complaints. Schools already have effective anti-bullying and other disciplinary policies in place, and they have trained professionals to assist students and their families with coping with genuine issues of gender dysphoria as well as other health matters. Lastly, there is no protection for the school personnel whose religious beliefs are in opposition to the current popular ideologies that have brought on this focus on transgenderism. This may have an unintended consequence of forcing many people of faith to leave public school service. Or is that an intended consequence?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Good anti bullying laws are already in place. The unacceptable thing with this new, proposed policy is that it goes way beyond prevention and crosses the line into mandatory promotion of politicized, sexualized ideology. Scientific studies and medical experts make clear the majority of children outgrow gender confusion by the time they reach adolescence. It is unwise and irresponsible to push involuntary promotion of gender confusion in a public education setting. Also The definition of “Gender identity” is completely subjective to each person claiming it, hence it cannot possibly be known by anyone except that person. Since it cannot be tested or ascertained by any objective method, nothing could prevent any student from constantly “changing” their “gender identity” to exploit many situations. This interjects chaos in the school system. Most distressing is that these policies provide absolutely no exceptions or accommodations for a student or teacher whose religious faith, conscience, or understanding of biology and sociology prevents them from being able to go along with the “transgender” ideology and policies. This is an infringement on parents/ teacher rights and their religious freedom. These troubling policies proposed by VDOE are totally unworkable and will force all students, faculty and administrators to comply with an empirically false view of sex and gender, even if it directly conflicts with their own fundamental beliefs.

It is absurd to force school children to know on any given day whether a fellow classmate identifies as a girl or a boy and to force them to use the proper pronoun.  Where is the common sense?  I personally know of a child who was brought to the principal's office because he didn't know. 2.  It is not up to schools to help a child determine their sexual identity, but strictly the parents. 3.  It is a horrendous idea to think that a boy would be in the girl's bathroom and locker rooms.  I can only imagine how damaging this will be to middle and high schoolers - all ages, for that matter.  Have some common courtesy and respect the wishes of the majority who prefer that bathrooms and locker rooms not be mixed. 4.  Where will it ever end?  One day he's a boy, next day he's a girl...I wish as much would go into our children's education as the state is putting into trying to fundamentally transform our children and their sexual identity.

They need appropriate support from family, friends, medical personnel and especially school where they spend much of their lives.  There is more and more scientific evidence that there is a medical/biological basis for their \"difference\".  It is not a matter of \"choice\", much as skin color is not a choice.

Worldview - this policy imposes a specific agenda on teachers, parents and students and is not inclusive for those who have other religious worldviews.  Imposing a policy that directly contradicts the belief of a child who adheres to a Biblical worldview forces them to accept an agenda against their morals .  To advance it further and declare that the non compliant student is engaging in harassment, is a direct attack on the student's belief system.  There is only one truth when it comes to gender and that is founded on the authority of our creator (Genesis 1:27), otherwise gender is subjective, which engages fallacious reasoning. Safety - if bathrooms are open to all, this will give more possibilities for bullying to occur and those with the intent of maliciously taking advantage of the open bathroom policy will abuse it if given the opportunity.  I realize bullying still occurs in gender specific bathrooms however, declaring gender subjective in relation to school bathrooms, opens up more possibilities for a child to be abused/bullied , which is the opposite direction of the goal in having safer schools. I sincerely thank you for the opportunity to voice my thoughts.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Each of us is born with a sexual organ, and each person should use the bathroom that goes with what is between one's legs or these very confusing policies created by very confused persons will only serve to confuse our children.

Denying a child's right to be who they are causes serious harm and multiple well-designed research studies have shown that affirming a child's self-stated gender identity can allow for improvements in mental health, physical health, and social well-being that can last beyond childhood. There is also data showing that denying or trying to force a child to change their gender identity can be harmful and may result in increase in depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and challenges with education, housing, and medical care, among other problems. This guidance seeks to provide a safe environment in which transgender children and all children can learn, free of bullying, harassment, and discrimination.

When my son came out as trans last summer, we were relieved that FCPS had a gender policy in place that covered most of our concerns. We were left, however, with our son's birth name still in place after we were informed that the district could not change his name without a new birth certificate or court order. At that time, he had just started on his gender journey; we were nowhere near making legal changes. As all instruction so far this year is virtual, he is confronted with his deadname multiple times a day: in BBCU chat; in assessments; in attendance records; in Google Classroom. Every time he posts a comment, he is misgendered. Every time we receive mail from the school district, he is misgendered. Every time he logs in to school, he is misgendered. Having a \"preferred name\" field as the primary First Name indicator would not only affirm trans voices; it would also allow those cisgender students who go by nicknames or middle names to affirm their own identities. I appreciate all of the hard work that you have put into this document for the benefit of Virginia’s transgender (et al) students. I strongly support the Guidance.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It is the right of the parent to choose how and when they expose their children to topics regarding sexuality, and legislation such as this allows teachers and school officials to bypass the parent, enabling those who would think themselves a better judge to influence an extremely vulnerable and suggestible child in a fundamental way. This is not the same as a health class which parents may choose to keep their children home from, this is a change which would invite influence on a child’s fragile sense of self on a daily basis.

A gift from God!  No one is \"assigned\" a sex at birth! (This is a rather obvious lie - perpetuated by a very confused culture!) Every person conceived is born male or female.  Children should be encouraged to joyfully accept their biological sex - and to see that neither sex is \"superior\" to the other, but rather complementary!! Nature maintains a near perfect ratio of males to females!  What an incredible miracle! A child's understanding of the gift of their maleness or femaleness will evolve as they grow & especially as they observe healthy adult role models of both sexes in their lives. It is clear that children should use the bathroom that corresponds to their biological sex.  Males should not be in female locker rooms.  Females should not be in male locker rooms. If any child is getting bullied - for any reason - they can request permission to use a private bathroom. Males and Females are not the same. It is a tragedy that adults create policies that perpetuate confusion instead of providing children with truth about who they are!  We can do better!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This is an attempt for government to set up a way to slowly and methodically break up the family unit. Making school the place where kids go to ‘be themselves’ or whatever the school lets them be without ever telling the parents what’s going on. Why else would our education system want a Kindergarten girl to be in the bathroom and have a 5th grade boy come in the same restroom to use the facilities and not get in trouble for invading a young girls’ privacy because he’s able to say “nope! I identified as a girl today.” It’s so ludicrous that I can’t believe we’re at this crossroads, as a nation, as a state. Defend and protect our children! Stop using them for propaganda. And stop setting them up to be easily raped, hurt, feel embarrassed or have their privacy invaded. It’s disgusting!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Students at this age should feel free and protected to express their preferred appearance, while competing on sports teams contingent with the anatomical makeup of their assigned sex and utilizing restroom facilities contingent with their assigned sex. These are formative developmental years for the establishment of gender, and according to various clinical studies, only one in seven children/adolescents that suffer from GD ultimately are diagnosed. Protect children through these confusing formative years by promoting full development of assigned gender, rather than now allowing for them to be treated as anatomically similar with the opposite gender.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

'School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom' 'Allowing students to use the locker rooms that correspond to their gender identity' These two items put students at risk, particularly female (biologically) students.  The right of privacy of these students has been forgotten in favor of a few student with identity issues.  I respect the rights of transgender students and schools need to create facility accommodations to suit their needs. The rights of a few should not justify the taking away of rights for many. As teachers, we strive to have open, honest communication with parents. If you are asking us to deny natural parental rights, by not informing them of issues their child may be facing, then you are asking us to create an atmosphere of distrust between parents and schools. In the school where I work, we have students who have parents who are supportive of their child wanting to change their gender and others who feel that their child will probably grow out of this phase of adolescence.  We support both. The people who support this bill do not appear to realize that many of the items that are in it, are already implemented in school districts. Bullying and discrimination are always on the radar of teachers.  We are aware that our students will not learn in an environment where they do not feel safe.  But is anyone thinking of the safety of our daughters in the bathroom and the locker room?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

So much work has been done to ensure equal athletic opportunities for females.  Why would anyone seek to destroy that?  Allowing males to compete against females in physical activities/sports, especially when such unequal competition can have long-term consequences (e.g., university athletic scholarships), is wrong.  Oppose it! We have millennia-old moral values that have stood the test of time.  Why would anyone want to alter them?  Why should a male get to walk naked in a girls' locker room?  Why should a female get to go shirtless/topless ina sport/physical/athletic event where boys can go shirtless/topless?  This is not about \"equality;\" it's about morality, decency, and reducing the opportunity for sexual aggression, violation, and rape.  Oppose it!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are SIGNIFICANT issues with the proposal that cause GRAVE concern for Parents and ALL taxpayers that must fund school systems that support policies that clearly go against Parental Authority, Basic Safety Concerns, Conscience and Biological Science. Here are just a few (of many) of the DISTURBING issues with this proposed policy of which EVERY PARENT should be 1) Failure to use a student’s new “preferred pronouns” – which can change from day to day - would be “harassment” and “discrimination”, for which BOTH FACULTY AND STUDENTS WOULD BE HELD TO DISCIPLINARY ACTION? (RULE IS RIFE WITH ARBITRARY and CAPRICIOUS JUDGEMENT) 2) Schools would be PROHIBITED FROM NOTIFYING PARENTS if a biological male is using the same changing facility as their daughter that was designated for girls.? (SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE...TELL ME THIS ISN'T A CONCERN FOR POTENTIAL SEXUAL ASSULT) 3) ALL students will be allowed to use ANY bathroom or locker room they choose, WITHOUT being questioned by any school administrator or faculty, eliminating privacy and safety of students in states of undress. (AGAIN, SAFETY AND POTENTIAL SEXUAL ASSAULT ISSUES) 4) SCHOOLS will be permitted to help a student explore, FACILITATE and make decisions regarding their GENDER EXPRESSION of sexual identity while at school, WITHOUT A PARENT EVEN KNOWING!? (HUGE OVER STEP OF STATE AUTHORITY) 5) Parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex would be AT RISK OF BEING REPORTED FOR CHILD ABUSE or neglect by the school. (PARENTS KNOW THEIR CHILDREN BEST AND WHY GIVEN LEGAL AUTHORITY TILL ADULT) Absolutely OPPOSE this harmful policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

He couldn't say no. You may say that this is the boy's right under federal law. That is quite flawed because then you are taking away the educator's rights to speak against that, which he cannot say no. So you're giving someone some (should I say undeserved \"right\" to not be offended) in order to take away another person's actual right to say no? If gender (and many more issues!) are simply a social construct then Gee, good news for criminals, they can now make up anything they want and put others at risk. Yes, it is a comparable situation. So, tell me, should a creepy person be allowed to enroll in your school (even though they are above 18) but they tell you they are 5? With this form of thinking you cannot and should not deny them that. They are 5 after all! Oh, fantastic, now they can use the same bathrooms as your students. Delightful! See where I am going with this? I can construct some fake world as far as I want with this form of thinking. Let's stop it while we are ahead and look at the issue as we should... black and white....In their anatomical and physiological makeup. You have that part I have this one.

All children need to be protected in school, especially from adults they are supposed to be able to trust. School staff personnel are there to provide quality and equitable education to ALL students, no matter what. It is therefore appropriate that all staff should undergo training about how to handle children who are transitioning. I am not saying that ALL school staff personnel need to like it, but they need to move into the 21st century with the rest of us and understand this is (and always has been) a fact of life. School staff who choose to be ignorant and refuse to accept training or to be disrespectful of ANY child should be severely punished. School staff personnel are there to provide facts, education, and be understanding with the children in their care, not to allow their own personal opinions or feelings get in the way. These model policies are not overly burdensome to schools and they just make sense.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The fear and anxiety that this policy will produce in our children cannot be overstated. Just take, for example, the part where failure to use a student’s new preferred pronoun would be harassment and discrimination.  This is confusing to the child speaking and is unreasonable.  It would be challenging for an adult to consistently use the correct pronoun with a friend or colleague that is transgender.  (I know, because my favorite work colleague changed genders and, while I tried to be very careful to demonstrate respect at all times, on occasion the pronoun I had used for the previous year just slipped out.)  Can you imagine the nightmare this would present for a child trying to do the right thing?  Anyone with children and a heart can see the harm this does.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The policy is harmful to transgender children and families.  While children are young, their minds are constantly changing and going through phases.  If a child goes through a phase where they would rather not stick to gender roles, there is no need to encourage them that that is their true identity.  I believe that the decision would be for the child in later life to address themselves or be addressed by the family.  Making permanent changes mentally and physically can be dangerous for young children.  It is also harmful to families of transgender children to withhold information about their child from them.  The parents are raising the child with the assistance of the school--not the other way around. The policy is also harmful to school staff and faculty.  It is very unnecessary to jump all the way to firing or harassment allegations for misuse of pronouns.  1) With a child, the idea of their pronouns may be a very fluid idea, constantly changing.  2) The policy would discriminate against staff that have religious beliefs that do not agree with transgender behavior.  While I do believe it is still the teacher's responsibility to teach, love, and respect all the children in their classroom, there are other ways to show respect than using opposite pronouns to address a child.  i.e.- use the child's preferred name. The policy is also harmful to other students as it freely allows children of the opposite biological gender into bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams.   It would be very uncomfortable for both students and their families to have students of the opposite biological gender dressing/undressing, using the bathroom in the same space as their student.  It allows for no privacy for anyone involved.  Also because transgender students would be allowed to use these private spaces without question, this opens the door for lack of privacy, abuse, and rape in private spaces with no questions asked.   I am also against biologically male students competing on female sports' teams.  It is obvious that once children reach a certain age the athletic differences between biological males and females becomes very different.  Allowing biological males onto girls' teams would take away from biological girls the ability to succeed in sports.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We have closed many public schools in order to save the lives of students, teachers, staff and their families from the pandemic of COVID-19. We have taken extreme measure to ensure that lives are saved. We have shown through our actions that we truly value the lives of our students. That same care and intention needs to be made for all of our students, no matter their gender identity. The must be provided safe access to restrooms that match their identity. Teachers and staff must take measures to prevent bullying from other students and adequate counseling services must be made available to them. As a religious professional that works in a community with transgender teens, I can personally attest that they are just as valuable, just as loving and just as deserving of basic human dignity as any other teen. Galatians 3 : 28 states: \"There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus\" It is a reminder that in the eyes of the creator, gender, race, or station are not what determines ones worth. We are all deserving of the same basic needs. Please ensure that our young people see that value being lived out in all of our institutions, especially their schools. Rev. Walter Clark Asst. Minister Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Scientifically it is baseless as every human being either has two X chromosomes or an XY combination in every cell of their body.  Gender is obviously determined by genetics as well as physical morphology.  If we're going to follow the science, please be consistent. I also oppose it on scientific grounds that many studies have shown this type of social propaganda hurts students and can even lead to death by suicide.  In addition, to allow boys to use girls' restrooms is the most absurd suggestion ever put forth.  As a former teacher of 17 years in both the middle and high school grades, I can assure you that rapes and sexual assaults will skyrocket. I also oppose this on free speech grounds in that teachers who object to teaching such garbage will be either forced to do so or fired even as at least one VA teacher already has been for refusing to lie to a student by using the appropriate pronoun.  Really?  Are we that far off the tracks?  Apparently so.  I believe in respecting students and their rights regardless of their sexual orientation.  But teachers and parents also have rights that need to be protected. If a student is having questions regarding his or her gender, parents, counselors, pastors, etc are available.  It doesn't need to be force fed to every student in our schools paid for with my tax dollars.  Our students are already struggling academically in so many areas and need help in those subjects.  Let's use public education to help prepare them academically for the challenges they will face, not indoctrinate them socially.   Thank you for considering my submission.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This sort of content does not belong in our schools or the minds of our children. We should not be seeking to \"grow them up\" faster, but rather preserve their innocent minds and teach them a meaningful and helpful education.

Virginia already has a good anti-bullying law. Studies show that young children with gender confusion more often than not outgrow this confusion after going through puberty. Children are not knowledgeable or mature enough to choose to make irreversible changes to their bodies with drugs and surgery. Hormones are powerful drugs. They can cause osteoporosis and cancer. They cause irreversible changes in the body. They need the guidance of caring adults. Their parents should not be excluded from the decision making process. The parents should have the ultimate authority. They are liable for the health and safety of their children. This early prepubescent sexualization of our children amounts to grooming them for early sexual behavior. And telling them that gender is assigned at birth and has nothing to do with your physical body and your genes is ideological and anti-science. The homosexual lifestyle is not a healthy one. There are many cases of transgender regret. Suicide is higher among gender confused people and going through the surgical change does not fix the problem. Encouraging children to become transgenders is child abuse.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

In addition, for almost three years I have been asking the school district to update my child's records based on legal documentation and they refuse.

The greatest current threat to our youth is their mental health, especially following the impact of covid on schooling.  For transgender (term used here inclusively) youth, school can be one of the most dysphoria-provoking and traumatic environments.  The experiences many transgender youth have in school are often related to (and at times the exclusive catalyst of) decades of anxiety, depression, dysphoria, and posttraumatic stress disorder.  These experiences most certainly affect their educational experience, learning, and later attainment. It is of utmost importance and, in fact necessity, that if we wish to reduce the inequities in educational attainment, earning power, and career promise of transgender individuals (as well as their quality of life!) we must offer a guide for more protective and inclusive policies in our schools. As a parent of three FCPS students, it is absolutely fundamental to me that my children receive a good education.  This INCLUDES making friends and being exposed to a variety of other children from different ethnic and racial groups, religions, abilities, and certainly children of all different genders and sexual orientations.  My children have been taught to be inclusive and also to be aware of discrimination that may occur and combat it.  For all children's benefit we need comprehensive policies for their protection and to encourage their learning.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

One could not get away with feeling that they want to go 65 MPH in a 55 MPH zone and it be discrimination if a police officer stops one and gives them a ticket.  Nor can one kill another because that is what they feel like at the time and it be ok. The only rules and laws that should be in place are the ones established by God in is word, the Bible.

Gender identity is an innate part of a person’s identity and can be the same or different from the sex assigned at birth.” (Definitions, p.6) \r\nThe definition of “Gender identity” is completely subjective to each person claiming it, hence it cannot possibly be known by anyone except that person. Since it cannot be tested or ascertained by any objective method, nothing could prevent any student from constantly “changing” their “gender to exploit many situations. \r\n\r\n“School staff should be prepared to support the safety and welfare of transgender students when their families are not affirming. … Whenever school personnel suspects or becomes aware that a student is being abused, neglected, or at risk of abuse or neglect by their parent due to their transgender identity, they should report those concerns to Child Protective Services immediately.” (Recommended Standard, p.13)identity” to exploit many situations. Will this mean that parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex would be at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect by the school? Will the schools report and government remove or jail parents that aren't affirming? That's giving power to an already over-reaching government.  \r\n\r\n“Access to facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to a student’s gender identity shall be available to all students.” (Draft Policy, p.18)\r\n“School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.” (Recommended Standard, p.18) As a parent & adult, this is scary and unacceptable. All students will be allowed to use any bathroom or locker room they choose, without being questioned by any school administrator or faculty, eliminating privacy and safety of students in states of undress. This will be exploited with no way to reprimand. It will be humiliating for girls having to undress in front of another student that has different body parts. School staff should support the safety and welfare of all students, not just transgender. People with the same body parts should be together if they are undressing/changing clothes for gym/sports. We don't let young child go to Rated R movies with nudity why is it okay for this?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

When my much loved child came out it certainly was an eye opener! My kid isn't doing this for attention (he would prefer to melt into the background and never be seen) and frequently wishes he could just have been born a boy so that his life would be easier. But he's a genuinely kind, good, brave kid, and he doesn't deserve to be afraid at school, and neither should other transgender kids. These policies are respectful and will save lives, and they are common sense and frankly good manners. We may not always understand others, but it is everyday courtesy to let people to use the names they choose, dress in clothes that have been deemed appropriate for all students, and have basic privacy over their own information. Ignoring these issues will not make them go away, and does not force anyone to change their beliefs, just allow others to the freedom to choose their own lives.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is dangerous and unconscionable to allow junior high and high school boys admission to any girls restroom or locker room at any time with no accountability. While your concern for the feelings of gender confused children are admirable, you are failing to consider the feelings of girls who have been, or are now silently suffering from ongoing sexual abuse or who are entrapped in trafficking. Allowing biological boys into their vulnerable spaces (such as restrooms and locker rooms) would cause great psychological and potentially physical harm to these girls. These reckless policies endanger our daughters. Remember #METOO! The school has no authority to keep gender identity issues that affect our children hidden from parents. These are OUR children and we must not be deceived and lied to about issues they face. The rights of gender confused children should not take precedence over the rights of girls/young women who are uncomfortable with biological males in their safe spaces. We can not place more burden on our already stressed and burdened teachers by threatening discrimination charges for not keeping up with ever changing pronouns for students. This legislation is unacceptable and dangerous.  Please re-think your proposed legislation. I STRONGLY OPPOSE this legislation!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Like many of the other comments clearly show, we cannot count on parents to teach their children these concepts. Transgender kids in unsupportive households face incredible hardship, especially understanding their own identities when they have had no exposure to people like themselves. Trans teens and children must be given the language to describe themselves and the tools to understand their identities. Cisgender kids who are raised in bigoted households are taught bigotry and hatred towards their transgender peers, and are not taught the truth about what being trans actually means. Every child needs to be told that being trans is normal, acceptable, and scientifically valid.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They are systemically oppressed, they are bullied, and they are ostracized. To deny them equal protection is prejudiced and transphobic. It’s that simple. Allowing them equal protection will not change the daily lives of students who are not trans. In fact, it will enhance the school environment because the schools will be able to foster a safe space that supports any and all marginalized people. It will allow trans students the confidence to be themselves, and that confidence will likely have a strong impact on their academic performance. It’s difficult to do well in school when you are ostracized and told you don’t matter. Ask any other marginalized person. Let me reiterate, denying these protections and being against these protections is transphobic . If you actually care about students, you’ll understand that this will not harm them; it will only benefit them and their classmates.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We would like our children to learn the core subjects - Math, History, Science, Language Arts, Music, Art, Computer Skills, etc. It is not right for our children to be taught about social issues that go against their personal beliefs. There is no mention of exceptions or accomodations for students or staff who do not believe in these transgender pilicies. I am gravely concerned about the mental welfare of my children in the Virginia public school system. Let me be clear. As a woman of faith, a former teacher and a mother, if this passes ,i will not allow my children to attend public school. I believe you will see a large decrease in enrollment. Nearly 65% of the country is Christian. Christian parents strongly believe in the importance of teaching our children that faith comes first. Young minds are impressionable. Again, These proposed policies provide absolutely no exceptions or accommodations for a student or teacher whose religious faith, conscience, or understanding of biology and sociology prevents them from being able to go along with the “transgender” ideology and policies. I strongly urge the VDOE to not allow this. If the views of 65% of the population and the Christian faith have no place or voice in the public school system, then the wishes and accommodations for 0.3% of the transgender population should not either.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are people:  parents, teachers, staff, students, who would not agree with these policies, based on their understanding/study of scientific biological facts, religious teachings from various groups, or just their natural understanding of their own physical gender driven by their biological codes assigned before birth.  These policies that place vulnerable youngsters at the mercy of others can lead to so many harmful situations, even rape, abuse, and false accusations against parents who try to protect their youngsters (and rightfully so).  There will be false accusations against innocent students who are in school to LEARN, not be attacked on a daily basis if they do not conform to all these new, ever-changing standards, such as pronouns that can change daily!  How can anyone function well in such a hostile environment?  These policies are determined to incriminate anyone who disagrees, and it is definitely NOT the job of the DOE to be incriminating anyone.

It will cause great confusion on young, developing brains, and place a disproportionate emphasis on someone’s sex/gender instead of focusing on education. School is not the place to facilitate this agenda. This policy would give an exorbitant amount of control to school officials in shaping children’s values and beliefs that belong first in the family. This policy does not support or value family and parental guardianship. This policy also creates an unsafe environment for children physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Rather than supporting individual beliefs, it forces “ transgender ” ideology and policies onto all children without choice to participate or not. This dangerous policy will undoubtedly cause many families to question the safety of trusting and keeping our children in the public school system. Please protect our children, the integrity of public schools in Virginia, and our freedom to hold our own individual beliefs and values, and do not enact this policy.

Guidelines that focus on preventing bullying, harassment, and discrimination make sense and should absolutely be supported. At the same time, I have serious concerns about wording in the proposed guidelines that would keep parents in the dark about a child's gender expression. Suspicion of abuse or neglect in such situations should be treated as they would in any other - by reporting them to social services. Absent those circumstances, however, parents have the right and responsibility to fulfill their role AS PARENTS in helping their children through their struggles and questions in life. Not informing parents that a child wishes to be called by another name, for example, flies in the face of parental rights. I also have concerns about this wording from the proposed guidelines: \" School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.” Transgender girls are surely no threat to other girls in a locker room or restroom. However, abuse of this policy by a male student who knows that he can't be questioned upon entering a girls' bathroom/locker room, though likely to be rare, could be extremely threatening and even physically dangerous. And finally, I think serious consideration must be given to the fairness of transgender girls competing in girls' sports. Female athletes are at a biological disadvantage with regard to speed and strength, and these guidelines which aim to protect the rights of transgender students may at the same time infringe upon the rights of female athletes who seek fair competition.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is a radical violation of religious freedom, freedom of conscience, and freedom of speech. Secretly affirming and facilitating a child's gender \"transition\" while at school puts school administrators between a suffering child and his mother. This is designed to make children distrust and fear their parents. This is child abuse. Parents who don't \"affirm\" that their child is in the wrong body can be reported to Child Protective Services? This is beyond offensive\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We are made in the image of God and in His likeness(Genesis 1:27).  Fearfully and wonderfully are we made (Psalm 139).  Men are men, women are women.  Each of us was made exactly what we are supposed to be.  God did not a mistake in making anyone.  Everything that the world is trying to teach our children is a lie.  It is SIN in the eyes of our holy God and creator.  The Bible says \"for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord\" Roman 6:23.  Death is what we have earned but God sent his son Jesus Christ to pay our fine, He died for us on the cross to pay for our sins.  Yours and mine.  All who advocate these activities are forgiven if only you except Jesus as your Lord and savior, by faith and REPENT,  turn from sin and follow the Lord Jesus Christ and you will receive eternal life and be righteous in the sight of a holy God, through what Jesus Christ as done.  This is not \"hate speech\".  This is the truth.  Jesus said I am the Way, the TRUTH and the LIFE (John 14:6)  We all have the choice in what believe but \"as for me and my house we will serve the Lord\" Joshua 24:15. We as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ do not condone  these activies and beliefs and will not support any such teachings in the public school setting.  If such measures are passed that advocate these teachings, then we will be compelled by the Word of God seek our educational needs elsewhere.

It strips parental rights & religious freedoms; the very fabric of this nation.\nBody:\nStrongly oppose. It strips parental rights & religious freedoms; the very fabric of this nation. I strongly oppose this policy being recommended.  The policy violates parental rights, student rights, religious freedoms, encourages bullying of those who do not identify with transgender ideology, and allow for an uninviting and confusing learning environment. Parents are primarily and foremost responsible for the upbringing, education, and care of their children. This is a fundamental liberty and right along with religious freedom.  These are rights are upheld by the Constitution and Supreme and Virginia Courts.  This troubling policy proposed by VDOE are totally unworkable and will force all students, faculty and administrators to comply with an empirically false view of sex and gender, even if it directly conflicts with their own fundamental beliefs. This policy provides absolutely no exceptions or accommodations for a student, teacher, parent, or legal guardian whose religious faith, conscience, or understanding of biology and sociology prevents them from being able to go along with the “transgender” ideology and policies. Included in the policy are provisions that clearly violate these rights such as: “School divisions will need to consider the health and safety of the student in situations where students may not want their parents to know about their transgender status … There are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student’s request to affirm their gender identity...” (Recommended Standard, p.12) This will permit schools to help a student explore, facilitate, and make decisions about his or her sexual identity while at school without the permission of the child’s parents . “School staff should be prepared to support the safety and welfare of transgender students when their families are not affirming. … Whenever school personnel suspects or becomes aware that a student is being abused, neglected, or at risk of abuse or neglect by their parent due to their transgender identity, they should report those concerns to Child Protective Services immediately.” (Recommended Standard, p.13) Parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex would be at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect by the school. This violates parental rights and religious freedoms. “In addition to adhering to all legal standards of confidentiality, school personnel shall treat information relating to a student’s transgender status as being particularly sensitive, shall not disclose it to other students and parents, and shall only disclose to other school personnel with a legitimate educational interest.” (Draft Policy, p.12) “Access to facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to a student’s gender identity shall be available to all students.” (Draft Policy, p.18) “School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.” (Recommended Standard, p.18) “Any incident or complaint of discrimination, harassment, or bullying shall be given prompt attention, including investigating the incident and taking appropriate corrective action, by the school administrator. …The [School Division’s Designated Contact] shall be available to hear concerns from students or parents when complaints are not resolved at the school level.” (Draft Policy, p.10) Essentially schools would be prohibited from notifying parents if a biological male is using the same changing facility as their daughter that was designated for girls. This puts young girls who are growing and changing at risk of sexual harassment and bullying. This would also eliminate privacy and the safety of students. This would allow students to act as a member of the opposite sex, use of bathrooms and locker rooms of the opposite sex all without the knowledge of and permission of the student’s parents. Parents will not be notified that their child is being interrogated by school officials for allegedly violating these policies, nor will parents have the opportunity to intervene on their child’s behalf UNLESS the complaints are not resolved “at the school level.” [This is a clear violation of due process clause of the 5th amendment.] This violates parental rights and puts religious freedoms at risk.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is a dramatic response to a much broader core problem of bullying, no matter gender, race, physical appearance, mental capabilities, disablility, etc. I'm amazed that we are giving the \"moral authority\" to adults in a position of power over our children in an environment that is already full of peer pressures, confusion, important developmental milestones, etc. Yet, the parent cannot make the same decisions for their own child? It seems counseling and a stronger influence on anti-bullying culture and zero tolerance policies would go much farther. These decisions could potentially open dangerous doors for ALL of our children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Many young trans people face hatred, bigotry, and discrimination in society at large and even in their own homes. Having an environment of understanding and acceptance at school could make all the difference, which in some instances is the difference between life and death. Please make this regulation a reality.

Since when is this okay?! Parents have a right to know what is happening with their child and be a part of the process. Parents know their children the best and need to be part of this process, whether they would disagree with their child being transgender or not. Also, the uncomfortableness that will ensue in many young girls, knowing that a boy could walk in the girl’s bathroom at any moment (namely a straight boy trying to get into the girl’s bathroom because now he knows he can and teachers can’t even stop him), is enough to make many girls not want to use the bathroom altogether. So then you’ll have a large majority nervous/uneasy about using the bathroom, instead of just that tiny minority of transgenders being nervous/uneasy to use the bathroom. Is this really a better solution? There must be a better way...like making a unisex bathroom, for ex.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I will start with freedom to “explore sexuality” in school. Why is this even encouraged? School is a place to learn, make friends, and grow independence.  What is happening in the restrooms of our public schools????  There are frequent mentions of protection for our transgendered students, but there is not one sentence that describes the penalty for misuse of this new allowance. I’m fairly certain this will be abused by “curious” children who just want a glimpse into the opposite sex. Lastly, it states “ if parents attempt to affirm a student’s God-given birth sex, the school can contact Children’s Protective Services for neglect.”, which I should be happy that at least the policy maker(s) affirm there is a God, but how sad that we are at risk of losing our ability to parent our children and address the mental disorder they may have concerning who they are in this world, without having a fully developed brain. Our brains are fully matured at 32 years old, but sure, let’s allow impressionable children to make life changing decisions. Why not lower the drinking age? How about we let 12 year olds obtain a license. This is lunacy, this is infuriating, and this is an anti-Christ philosophy I will not subscribe or subject my children to.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My children already face enough stressors without fearing the scrutiny of some over zealous administrator who thinks they are repressed when they simply believe in Biblical norms. My children are consistently kind to every type of person and do not offer judgment. Christ was kind to those “outcasts” but harsh with the whited sepulchers who offered traps to their followers rather than guidance and safety. People (including children) who have gender identity issues should be treated with kindness and understanding on a case by case basis WITHOUT foregoing the rights of other students to their basic safety and security. As the mother of three teenage girls, I would NOT feel comfortable with a teenage boy being allowed in their locker room even if he identified himself as a girl, biologically he remains a male and as such poses an avoidable risk to their safety. To enact this will be to trample upon the rights of myriad students to ensure that only a few “matter”.

Let me be clear: I do not support the bullying of any person for any reason. However, to deny biological fact and insist that all of society does the same does not equate to equality. It equates to collective ignorance. Beyond this (and more concerning), to assert that a child or a parent could be deemed abusive or guilty of harassment because they respectfully dissent from these views directly violates our society's foundation of free speech and the pursuit of personal and religious conviction. This is a place where the state's involvement sets a much more dangerous precedent for ALL than the state's silence. Thus, as my title suggests, for the love of ALL our children I strongly oppose this legislation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Redefining language and biology to fit transgender theories is unnecessary, and it is disrespectful and confusing to those who are not inclined or indoctrinated in the new transgender ideology. It is not the business of the state or school system to inculcate transgender ideas into the students, and it is also unreasonable to require teachers or other students to endure transgender behavior and terminology.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

You either love your child/student or hate them. There should not be a debate on this issue, and if there is you should very much consider being on the only side. The right side of history, logic, compassion, love, and intelligence. The side that supports all children and provides the leadership and respect that us adults should be providing. The kind that will love a child no matter who they are, and help them flourish and discover who that person is in our education system. If you do not love a gay or a trans student, you just do not love any humans and thus should have no voice in the educational environment they grow up in. You lose your right to debate when you do not acknowledge universal truths. That student is still human and is entitled to all inalienable rights that each and everyone of us are. Those here who use religion as a means to justify hate, and seclusion really must not religious at all and thus have no argument. Do not let mob hate win, do not believe that there is a them and an us. That is false propaganda we should have learned to combat when it failed for Hitler and his Nazis over 70 years ago. Do not fall prey to loud majority of hate, they are dying off and will be remembered as ignorant at best and pure vile evil at worst. This is not a debate, it is a forgone conclusion. The future is accepting of all people. Ask yourself do you actually care about the future you will leave behind, or are you too afraid to say no the voice of hate and continue to allow it to hang on to it's last remaining breaths? Do not just ignore them, they have to be told no or they will never stop. Ignoring them is how we have gotten to where we are today. They actually think they have support from you, it's your turn to prove them wrong. For their sake, and the sake of our society's future.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While trying to be more inclusive the result will be further exclusion & division. This will result in greater confusion to all children/teens. This is not a school board or school staff members responsibility. This is a parental responsibility to guide the child & discuss these matters with possible professional guidance at that said family’s discretion. This will put other kids at risk, in potentially dangerous situations that could be detrimental. Are you willing to put others at risk on your watch? Is that something your conscious can live with? This will cause more stress on the already hormonal & stressful childhood/teenage years.  It is NOT another child’s or staff member’s responsibility to determine what another person identifies with on any given day. Others should NOT be held responsible or reprimanded for the sexual identity confusion of another person. God does NOT make mistakes! The gender you are born with is in FACT your gender identity. For those who like scientific FACTS, it is very simple. Females have an XX pair of sex chromosomes, and males, an XY pair. Simple facts. I 100% strongly oppose Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans children are people.  To invalidate their identities is to invalidate their humanity.  Schools are meant to be places where each individual feels safe and honored.  School policies are meant to protect ALL students regardless of their identity.  We are talking about children. I support this set of guidelines because they protect children.  No one, no matter how young, should be forced to hide who they are out of fear of hatred and retaliation.  For those who wish to use religion and the Bible as excuses to put children in harm's way, as a person of faith I invite you to use the words of Jesus himself as your guide.  He says in Matthew 22 to love your neighbor as yourself.  Is telling a child that they are not meant to be the way that they are love?  I don't think so.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This policy allows, indeed requires schools to deceive parents about their own children.  This is unconscionable.  Schools do not stand in a parental position to students.  It is your job to educate, not raise, present values or propagandize. This policy does not have the well being of children in mind.  It is a sop to the LGBTQ movement.  It encourages children to doubt their identity, leaving parents completely in the dark.  That is not your job! Parent s who would encourage their children to accept their (obvious) biological identity could be accused of child abuse.  This is completely unacceptable. This policy would allow biological males in private spaces with biological females and vice versa, again with no knowledge given to parents.  This takes no account of children who would be upset by this practice.  It leaves girls especially vulnerable to sexual abuse, harassment and intimidation. This policy requires the use of \"preferred pronouns,\" and failure to use them would be considered discriminatory or harassment.  This puts teachers and staff  in the untenable position of either supporting a ridiculous policy which does harm to children or violating their own conscience. There is no way to know what the consequences of this policy might be on vulnerable children.  Yet you propose to implement it anyway.  That is reckless disregard for the children you are supposed to be educating.  Please do not do this.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans rights are humans rights and trans kids deserve to feel safe expressing their gender identity in their environment. Why would you not care about trans kids? They are people too, are they not? Open your eyes and open your minds. To those that oppose, stop being bitter and being obsessive over children (who has no connection and nothing to do with you) and who they are. It's their lives. Not yours. Plus, you look odd caring so much about the business of youth. Are your own lives that boring that you feel the need to insert yourselves? Go and move out to a different state if this bugs you so much. Transphobes aren't welcome here anyways. It is also backed up by psychology that kids are able to understand their gender identity from a young age :)\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

People should be free to make decisions about their lives and express their views without fearing they will be bullied, punished, ostracized, or muzzled. Unfortunately, THIS BILL WILL NOT ACHIEVE THIS. It does NOT support transgender students, because it destroys the kind of society that protects freedom; it thwarts anyone who dares to question and goes beyond requesting tolerance to forcing approval, regardless of your own views, beliefs, choices, questions, or objections. It is a totalitarian move to wipe out dissent so one perspective can dominate culture, law, and social norms. It tramples on the civil rights of anyone not spouting the party line. The issue isn’t whether trans students are allowed to be who they are, it’s whether Americans are allowed to co-exist in society with differing viewpoints and still respect and support each other. This bill is shrouded in the language of caring for mistreated people, but its true purpose is to enforce strategic and systematic punishment (loss of career, income, social standing, and more) on anyone who dissents. We are already seeing the terrifying effects of belittling and dehumanizing anyone who doesn’t share “approved progressive” views (Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple making it impossible for those with opposing perspectives to even have a voice in society). We cannot allow this to happen in a microcosm on our campuses as well. If trans students want their voice to be heard, they MUST allow opposing voices to be heard as well, otherwise they become guilty of the very thing they want to abolish and are the source of the intolerance they decry. This bill won’t even allow people to remain silent. Respectfully opting out of the conversation is no longer an option. This bill demands people positively affirm ideas they oppose and actively express support for policies they do not believe in. It makes hypocrites of the transgender community (who demand their civil rights are honored while trampling on the rights of others) and of those who disagree (by forcing them to affirm things they don’t believe). This bill makes hypocrites of us all. Instead of muting people who have opposing views, we should invite healthy conversation in communities and encourage students to ask robust questions, demand well-researched answers, think for themselves, and express their views--even and ESPECIALLY when they differ with other views. We must teach civility at an early age by supporting the free and frank exchange of ideas in every corner of our communities. When businesses, laws, governments, parties, and social groups punish those who disagree with them, we have lost a unique and precious treasure—a country where everyone has a voice. EVERYONE. I STRONGLY urge opposition to this bill to preserve freedom and protect EVERYONE’S civil rights.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No unbiased scientist [so a real scientist] can be transphobic.  There are innumerable sexes solely in the human species- XX, XY, XYY, XXY, X, XXX, and so many others.  You cannot care about women if you are transphobic- if you believe that the only thing that makes a woman a woman is her chromosomes or genitalia, then you are only identifying a woman by her genitalia. Women have suffered a social burden for one thousand years, and it is just that: social.  Gender has been complex for even longer.  The role of a woman, a man, or anyone in between, (as seen in the idea of a Two Spirited person) varies depending on the pre-colonial society. The origin of romance languages, Latin, and the society we framed our Democracy and ideals off of, had a complex understanding of gender.  The view of masculine ideas, feminine ideas, neutral ideas, and ideas that could have any and all gender resulted in the wonderful languages of Spanish, French, Portuguese, and so many more.  Not to mention that there are many individuals in the Ancient times who used different gendered adjectives that didn't agree with what they were assigned at birth! My point is, because gender is social and so complex and individualized, it is time that we recognize that people who don't fit in the Western-cookie-cut idea of gender are people, and that they are protected as individuals, and that their safety is preserved.  This guidance document is essential to the safety of our students, and if you think otherwise, I would kindly ask you to read a book WITHOUT trying to force your own ideas onto it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Yet if they want to change their entire life, it is ok to make that decision - without parent knowledge perhaps. Does the counseling include speaking to people who have changed and regret it as well as the \"positive\" that is stated? If a boy goes with the girls for Health class, then when will the boy learn about boy stuff that he should know about? I feel like a girl this week.  Hate my teacher.  Teacher didn't call me by my preferred pronoun.  Teacher in trouble. I feel like a boy this week.  Going to hang out in the boys bathroom, with my boyfriend. Teacher doing a fun quick game:  ok 'guys' on this side and 'girls' on this side.  Someone gets embarrassed.

Thank you!\nBody:\nAs a parent of a transgender teen, I of course fully support any policy for giving my child a safe and supportive education.   I challenge all the opposers to consider if their child were transgender.   I truly believe all the opposition stems from not being educated on the issue.  Despite \"religious beliefs\" which are also uneducated,  we have to look at the safety and welfare of these unique children who feel trapped in the wrong body.  Suicide is real.  My child has had suicidal thoughts as well as several anxiety/panic attacks at school in gym class.  He has also been bullied in the bathroom of his assigned gender to thr point where he stopped using the bathroom at school altogether. These policies only seek to respect and support these children who are at particular risk of mental harm through not being supportive or inclusive.   It saddens me to the core that people don't value the mental health of my child. I for one think there needs to be a major campaign for educating about transgenderism.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

State and religion are supposed to be separated and you do not have the right to force other people to follow the rules of your own religion.

I was well into my adult life before I learned that one of my beloved high school teachers had suffered shame and humiliation from family members and local police, simply because he occasionally would be \"caught\" dressed as a woman.  It still breaks my heart to know he did not live to see the day when he would have found support from enlightened family members and friends. When I learned also that several high school friends had suffered enormously from the homophobic and transphobic culture in which we were raised, and that one had been suicidal, I felt morally compelled to re-examine all that I had been taught, or assumptions I had absorbed without examination.  That long and sometimes painful process enabled, finally, to reject the ignorance that had blinded me to the cruelty and injustice that prevented people I had known and cared about, from enjoying the respect and freedom they deserved.   In the early 1990s, I met and have remained friends with a number of transgender women, and recall fondly my acquaintance with several transgender men, all of whom found the courage and support to have lived proudly as members of the gender with which they identify.   I simply cannot imagine any of them having been forced to live otherwise. But I also came to understand the courage and the cost, as well as the joys and rewards,  of their respective decisions to live authentic lives.   My own life has been enriched by knowing them.  And it is clear to me that our community benefits from their talents and gifts.  I am convinced that NO ONE should be denied the opportunity to live authentically, and that those who would deny such an opportunity are misguided, to say the least. Knowing that there are many who will object to this Model Policy, and to the respect that it offers to ALL students, I can only hope that those with the power to implement the policy will do so with the courage and commitment that all human rights endeavors require.  And I will hope that in time, those who object will find, hopefully soon, that their misgivings were indeed unfounded. Thank you, Karen Solon\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I transitioned male to female while employed as a school bus driver and I gratefully accepted the support of many of those around me.  I also received (and still receive) rejection by those who disagree with the decisions I have made and the steps I have taken.  Many others express no opinion and consider it my business (toleration is just as good as open support).  I have hopes that those who reject me will eventually also come to tolerate me.  I have spoken before the school board several times during public discussion of school board issues, in an effort to increase the board's knowledge of Transgender persons.  I have laid bare my experiences and opinions as well as studies offering insight into the stresses and struggles of Transgender students and their families.  I have great empathy toward Transgender students and fully support this comprehensive policy as written.  Nothing should be removed.  Local boards will be required to adopt policies as comprehensive as the state policy, and with this document as their guide, the results will be a school system where, with reasonable accommodations, all can live and learn in surroundings molded to protect everyone equally.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If a family chooses to raise their child this way I still disagree but that is their Choice, just as it is mine not too. 5. 5. To teach our children to deceive their parents is teaching them to deceive their future boss, their future spouse and their future family.  Without allegiance to the family you can trust no one.

Through its blanket endorsement of views like these, the VDOE has gone far beyond the path the General Assembly prescribed. Schools have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students. No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex. Many children would feel uncomfortable when they encounter a member of the opposite sex – particularly adults – in gendered facilities or when entering a shared hotel room as part of an overnight school activity. Children, particularly adolescents, can experience hypersensitive and traumatic reactions to these situations. Schools should not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible “gender transitions”. The model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children. The Department’s proposed policies would pit children against their parents when it comes to important questions about sex and gender identity The proposed policies articulate views go far beyond what the general assembly has prescribed.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Virginia's transgender students have a right to an education experience free from harassment and bullying, the same as cisgender students. The policies outlined in this guidance document not only ensure that the rights of transgender students are protected - they also promote a positive, inclusive learning environment.

While I believe no student should be the object of negative criticism and ill-treatment, I do not think that positive discrimination benefits them, either. Some transgender students may not mind being partially or completely nude in front of binary students of their gender identity.  Many others will be more reticent to toilet, dress or shower in view of other students. To reduce emotional trauma for all students, I request that the policy require adequate numbers of single-person bath, shower and locker areas for use by transgender and binary students who desire privacy.  That is the kindest way to manage gender identity issues and the reduction of negative discrimination toward those students. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These guidelines address common issues regarding transgender students in accordance with evidence-based best practices and include information, guidance, procedures, and standards relating to: compliance with applicable nondiscrimination laws; maintenance of a safe and supportive learning environment free from discrimination and harassment for all students; prevention of and response to bullying and harassment; maintenance of student records; identification of students;  protection of student privacy and the confidentiality of sensitive information; enforcement of sex-based dress codes; and student participation in sex-specific school activities, events, and use of school facilities.\n\n---\n\n## Public Comment\nComment ID: 89939\nTitle: Protect Everyone; Remember You are Government and Not an Advocacy Group\nBody:\nI write to urge that the model policies that you are developing pursuant to a legislative mandate be written in a manner to enable readers, but especially school boards, to trace to their source the assertions made. That request pertains equally to statements that purport to recite scientific facts, statements of law, and policy recommendations. I urge you to reconsider the inclusion of findings of advocacy organizations such as GLSEN. I also urge that you make it clear when a government agency is quoted, whether it is a Virginia, federal or some other government and the date of the quote. For example, assertions are attributed to an Office of Civil Rights without it being further identified or the date of the statement. The list of references recites a publication of such an office from 2001, but no date appears at the site of the quote. If dates were recited at the locations of specific quotes, readers may be on alert to check to see if there has been a change in science, law or policy in the intervening years. The subject addressed is a sensitive one and impacts not only sexual minority students, but their classmates and family members. I urge you to make recommendations that protect the privacy and modesty of both the students who are questioning their sex at birth as well as those who are not. Providing for the availability of individual one-room bathrooms and changing facilities protects the interests of all in privacy and modesty. In contradiction, however, the draft policy also gives priority to accommodating the interest of gender-fluid persons in using such facilities with others who do not share their gender at birth or anatomy. The failure to respect the privacy of the vast majority of students is the greatest failing of your recommendation. It is followed closely by your insistence that school personnel not question any student who decides at the time of entry into a bathroom or dressing room not selected previously. Numerous assertions are made about legal requirements in a very new and ill-defined area of the law without any concession of uncertainty. An official publication of the Commonwealth should clearly distinguish between established law, areas in which the applicable law is in dispute, and policy preferences. The failure of the current draft to do so suggests an intent to mislead local school boards into thinking it must do things that at present are matters in which local decisionmakers retain discretion. The current draft needs to be totally overhauled. It is an advocacy piece for one side of a very lively debate in our society. When it serves its purposes it describes gender identity as “innate” and when it does not, it is described as fluid or diverse. While urging that school personnel not force societal values on noncomforming students, It recommends that they intervene within families to promote support for gender transition. At times withholding of information from parents or colleges is advocated, while at others public discussion of very personal matters is promoted. Bullying should be punished and discouraged whatever its roots. But your message in that regard is muddled by treating as equivalent belittling of individuals and the use of pronouns that do not correspond to a student’s fleeting sense of gender identity. Capable faculty already face too much second guessing by administrators and parents to be subject to punishment or “reeducation” for not calling a student by a preferred pronoun such as “ze.” Are the recommended policies responding to actual problems found in your Department’s review of Virginia public schools? I submit that would be a more appropriate way to determine the scope of your report than your reliance on GLSEN or the California Safe Schools Coalition. I urge you to request from the General Assembly an extension of time for it to evaluate your product and only thereafter mandate that elected school boards have to adopt oolicies consistent with it. The legislation authorizing this project delegated an unconstitutional amount of discretion to this quasi-governmental group to bind elected school boards. It was premature to mandate that local school boards “adopt policies that are consistent with but may be more comprehensive than” the model policies before the contents of this document could be known.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Did the school hold things back from your parents? Did your children keep secrets from you and the school knew about it, but did nothing to inform you? I make this personal because it is personal. Some parents may hand their children over to schools to \"raise\" them as society wishes, but I would be willing to bet that more patents want to maintain their rights and be a part of every decision their child makes until they are 18. Are you representing Republican values or Democrat. It seems the GOP is scared to stand up to the Democrats. Please tell me you are not a Democrat in Republican clothes.

Once again, government is overstepping it's boundaries in assuming they have the right to control how our children are to be raised.  Another ploy to undermine Christian beliefs and another bad decision that will contribute to the deterioration of our education system! I would have to question the integrity and quite frankly, the mental stability, of those individuals that think it is okay for a young girl or boy to be exposed to a member of the opposite sex in a place where she/he should feel safe and secure.  A child should not have to fear using the restroom or locker room.  Even more ludicrous, is the idea that a school would have the authority to hold parents accountable for not supporting their child's gender decisions.  Gender is not a decision that we need to make. God has already done that for us!! Where has this nation's common sense gone?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The bully's, the name calling, the misunderstanding of who this person really was. The teachers who didn't intervene, the parents who didn't understand, the siblings that didn't get what this was all about. This was a human being with a loving heart, that only wanted to be who they felt they were. In the wrong body, not doing things to embarrass anyone only wanting to live their life free and happy. My grandchild just turned 18, they stopped going to school but continued their education through the GED program, safer, less anxiety, but socially withdrawn. There have been a handful that have stood by my grandchild through this process, myself included, it's been a long bumpy road. We need to make our schools safe, without bully's, and with teachers looking out for these kids not looking the other way. I support 100%. We need to make this a safe world for transgenders, free to learn, free to live, free to love.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have a few notes on specific sections below: Bullying, Harassment, and Discrimination section * Please clarify that abusive and discriminatory behaviors towards a student should be defined as unacceptable and reportable, whether it comes from other students, staff, faculty, or school division administration. * Please require that policies and communications of the policy provide clear means of escalating reports of violations of the policy. * Please require policies to cover events taking place on school grounds, during school field trips and events, and using school communications or tools, in addition to defining which parties are barred from discriminatory and abusive behaviors. Student Privacy / Confidentiality section * Please make it clearer that the decision about whether to disclose gender identity, gender transition, and gender status resides solely with the student (and not with faculty, staff or administration). I believe that's intended here, but it is unclear, and could allow room for unsupportive individuals to out other individuals. * Please make clear that, while a student may request to transfer to a new school setting in order to ease gender transition, the school and the administration must not require it, and such an attempt to require or pressure a student to transfer would be deemed abusive. Access to Activities and Facilities section * Please broaden the definition of a \"single-gender activity or program\" to clarify whether schools may have non-competitive single-gender sports teams and competitive academic clubs, which are more common and complex example than single-gender chorus. Please clarify how school districts must support transgender students who wish to participate, when a gendered activity is deemed appropriate and allowable. Thank you for this excellent work.  May it help and support our children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This policy puts all employees at risk for disciplinary actions. It is not the role of a school to help a child explore, facilitate and make decisions regarding their gender expression of sexual identity. Why do you want to remove parental rights and privileges? A student could claim to be either a biological male or female (or both, neither, or something else entirely) for any duration of time, without providing any evidence to a teacher or administrator, making it impossible for teachers to comply with these policies. I am not in favor of mixed genders using the same restroom and / or locker facilities. This is not safe and eliminates privacy. This does not even make sense: “Parents will not be notified that their child is being interrogated by school officials for allegedly violating these policies or have the opportunity to intervene on their child’s behalf, UNLESS the complaints are not resolved “at the school level.” It is the parent’s duty to raise their children and be involved in their lives. It is outside the scope of a school to revoke these rights and privileges of parents. The policies provide absolutely no exceptions or accommodations for a student or teacher whose religious faith, conscience, or understanding of biology and sociology prevents them from being able to go along with the “transgender” ideology and policies. This policy directly conflicts with fundamental beliefs of chromosomal makeup.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

That's why our government said our youth cannot operate a motor vehicle until six-teen, they are not allowed to vote until eighteen, drink at twenty-one, our youth can enlist in our armed forces at seventeen, only with parental consent. Do they want a tattoo, only at eighteen, or parental consent at sixteen. Our government recently changed the age to purchase cigarettes; now they must be twenty-one years old. Children have no ability to make choices like what gender they \"want\" to be this week. Besides, children with outward transgender influences has even less right to expose my child to the behavior. We do not participate in such behavior. We do treat everyone fairly, equally, and with love and compassion. However, exposing my son to traits that go against every moral compass for children is unthinkable. Yes, every child should have a bully-free education. But that's the main goal, education! However, this will set children that haven't had confusion up for confusion. Children that are steadfast in their community and faith to question society and humanity. I have a 6-year-old son; we are of the Christian faith. I, however, push hard for our family to love everyone . I remember growing up; one of my best friends was \"different.\" I would be outside riding horses and four-wheelers. He would be inside playing with my Barbies. I'll never forget the day he just stopped coming to school in middle school. I found out years later; his step-father tried to beat the gay out of him, again. His Mom sent him to Governor's school to make it stop. It was years before I saw him again. He had turned out to be an amazing artist, could play any instrument, and was an excellent ballet dancer. He is HIV positive, hates God, and changed his childhood name . I hold myself partially responsible even as a child for what happened. If policies like these had been in place, it would have destroyed him. He couldn't just go to school. The one place that his gender or gender preference wasn't even on the forefront because education was. He could immerse himself in knowledge and education. Learning to play the instruments and so forth. The school was his educational break from his nightmare. Public Schools should be about academic success and education. Not whose gender is what.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Being educated on transgender issues will not change whether someone is trans or not but it could help them find happiness, avoid depression and suicide, and educate others to prevent bullying. As far as bathrooms go, forcing a trans child to use the wrong bathroom can my them uncomfortable, make their peers uncomfortable, and lead to bullying and violence in a place frequently out of school staff's eyes. None of these regulations will make a child trans, or cause permanent changes to children; but they can prevent bullying, violence, depression, and suicide.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex. Many children would feel uncomfortable when they encounter a member of the opposite sex – particularly adults – in gendered facilities or when entering a shared hotel room as part of an overnight school activity. Children, particularly adolescents, can experience hypersensitive and traumatic reactions to these situations. Schools should not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible “gender transitions”. The model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have worked in education for over a decade, supporting students and teachers in ensuring all students--including and especially those most marginalized by discriminatory policies--have access to learning experiences that enable them to thrive. These polices advance the rights of our transgender and non-binary students to an education that affirms their identities and supports their success. It is an issue of safety, of equity, and of human and civil rights. I urge you to adopt these policies and appreciate your consideration of this matter.

Gender Dysphoria is a serious mental health disorder in the family of reality incongruence disorders. Gender Dysphoria patients are at risk of suicide approximately 5 times that of the general public. No nation or public policy has been able to appreciably reduce that suicide risk through any means other than cognitive behavior therapy. This Bill becoming law would harm sufferers by creating an environment that subverts their recognition of a reason to seek professional therapy. All mental health therapy requires the recognition of the need for therapy and the active participation in therapy. This Bill would encourage patients to continue in their state of reality incongruence. Ultimately, this will leave sufferers of Gender Dysphoria untreated for the anxiety caused by this mental health disorder- and, thus, suicides rates will remain high in this population. Policies encouraging understanding care and concern for this demographic while encouraging the only known therapy by professionals can be implemented without this type of legislation. I greatly oppose the provisions which parents disagreeing with legislated policy being guilty of “abuse” and referred to CPS. Teachers jobs are difficult enough. I oppose the legal requirement and penalties associated to keep track of “gender fluid” preferences of each student. I find it difficult to believe that the provision allowing opposite sex locker room use will not be misused by teenagers of nefarious or malicious intent. this is an ill conceived bill that\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My husband and I are products of the public school system from two different counties in separate parts of Virginia. I could have never imagined such nonsense would even be considered, much less be made law. Since when do the rights of my children, under 18 years old, trump my responsibilities and rights as their parent? My kids need a permission form to walk to a play across the street from their school, but you want to be able to talk to them and encourage them in their quest to define their own sexuality that affects their entire life without my knowledge or permission. It is MY job to teach MY children right and wrong, sex-ed and the like, and what God's standard for living is, NOT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. The school system's job is to teach my kids how to read, write, do math, learn history as it is written (not-rewrite it to your comfort-level) explore arts, and provide an opportunity to express their interests in music, art, sports, agriculture, etc. Morality is taught at home. Sexuality is taught at home. It is not developmentally appropriate to teach elementary children these very complex subjects. My son changes his favorite color from one day to the next, but society wants me to believe that he is capable of deciding his sexuality at 8 years old???!!! I don't think so. Why don't you include the statistics of the increased suicide rate among transgenders when they regret changing their entire lives and appearance around? And where do they go for help to reverse-transition?? Nowhere because that is now forbidden and considered abuse! How backward could you be? Women have worked for years to have their own sports and now society says that it's okay for a man to participate and take top awards; the men are physically, biologically different in ways that allow them to outcompete with women. Is that fair? What is not fair is allowing this nonsense to perpetuated as normal and the discussion to be encouraged starting at the elementary level, AND to refuse to include their own parents on such a life-altering topic. As a former educator, you have set a stressed system up for failure. Shame on you!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Most concerning, there is no scientific or objective way for someone to define gender as proposed in this policy.  The policy is defining gender based on an individual's personal feelings or preferences at any given moment.  Feelings are quite variable and can change frequently in children and are subject to all kinds of external and peer pressures.  In contrast, one's biological sex is objective and can be confirmed scientifically.  Available prospective data suggest that most children who express a desire for a gender different than their sex defined at birth will identify and adopt their biological sex by the time they are adults.  Moreover, the US Constitution guarantees religious freedom that permits parents to provide religious and moral instruction to their children.  It also protects the religious freedoms of students. This policy interferes with parental rights and the religious freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. Specific concerns include: Failure to use a student's new \"preferred pronouns,\" which could change from day to day and even defy basic rules of grammar, would be classified as harassment and discrimination.  Both faculty and other students would be subject to disciplinary action.  Schools will be permitted to help a student, explore and make decisions regarding gender expression while at school without a parent even knowing. Since gender is such a fluid concept, without any scientific or objective measure, nothing will prevent a student from changing their gender identity to exploit specific situations. Parents who encourage their children to embrace their biological sex due their religious beliefs or their recognition that children can go through a phase of thinking or preferring a gender that is different than their biological sex, but will later affirm it as adults.  Administrators and teachers will not be able to validate a student's biological sex. Knowledge of a student's biological sex can a very important aspect of assessing and providing appropriate interventions to optimize student learning and health. Parents will not be notified if a biological male student was using the same changing facility as their daughter.  All students will be allowed to use any bathroom locker room they choose, eliminating privacy and safety concerns of students who may be partly or completely undressed.  The lack of sex-specific dress codes will cause disruptions and distractions, permitting biological boys to wear skirts and girls to go topless in activities where boys can, such as swimming activities or playing team sports. Parents will not be notified that their child is being interrogated by school officials for allegedly violating these policies, or have the opportunity to intervene on their child's behalf, unless the complaints are not resolved at the school level. The policies provide absolutely no exceptions or accommodations for a student or teacher whose religious faith, conscience, or understanding of biology, sociology, and psychology prevents them from being able to go along with the concepts of gender identity that underlie this policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I'm certain that if you include vouchers for school choice as a part of this nonsense, the public school system across the state would collapse within 5 years.

Would it hurt their feelings if they used the boys room? These kids should be taught to respect the feelings of other people, too. How sad for them that they are being indulged, coddled, and led to believe that they are entitled to special attention and treatment. Talk about abuse! Wouldn't the logical solution be to simply designate a bathroom for transgenders (or build another one)? A girls bathroom would respect girls who identify as girls, a boys bathroom would respect boys who identify as boys, and a transgender bathroom would respect those who identify however they want to be identified. Do what is FAIR for everyone. To do otherwise would be showing partiality to some and failing to acknowledge those who see this as a moral issue. You can't tell them they are wrong and force your belief on them. You must be willing to compromise and look for ways to respect the feelings and rights of EVERYONE. There should be no policy respecting the selfishness of transgenderism - the Golden Rule should suffice.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These policies are divisive and discriminate against poor parents who have a duty to protect their children from corruption yet send their children to the county school in good faith trusting the government to respect their free speech rights and their personal morality which opposes such policies as base and unseemly.

The psychological challenges that accompany transgender identification require family support. If a child chooses to identify this way, it is not for the school to withhold this information from the parent. Honestly, it's not a small decision, so I can't imagine parents wouldn't already know? Isn't it in the best interest of the child if they can work with teachers and administration to properly support their children? As far as the bathroom issue, a third, non-gendered, lockable individual bathroom and locker room should suffice. You are talking about a very small portion of the population at each school. Leave the boys' bathroom for boys born and identifying as boys and the girls' bathroom for girls born and identifying as girls. If this is a proposal advocating equal rights, and respect for all, then respect the parents of these minor children and the personal space of the cisgender students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Common sense tells us that children should not drive a car, drink alcohol, smoke weed, vote, or decide on medical procedures.  Why should gender selection be a child’s decision? No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex. Schools have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students not just the less than .5% of the population. This policy completely undermines the authority of parents and gives schools and teachers jurisdiction in an area that is not theirs to control. Teachers will be at risk of prosecution since it seems it would be impossible to maintain a student’s gender preferences confidentially while the student uses any gender bathroom or locker room they prefer? The draft model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children. The document ignores the scientific, medical evidence of biology and also the known long-term negative outcomes for the individuals that realize they have made a mistake.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Seeing the number of comments that seek to condemn trans youth (and adults) only reinforces the urgent need for sound policies in the face of such bigotry.  Having watched several of my children’s friends work through the process of resolving their gender identity, I have seen first hand how a supportive environment is critical for their mental and physical health.  Even in a supportive environment the journey of a transgender person is challenging and fraught.  We owe it to ALL of our children in the Commonwealth to ensure they are each valued for who they are.  These guidelines are a critical first step towards building a supportive environment.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The fact that these mandates make no accommodations for the religious freedoms of Virginia citizens is truly disturbing.

Issues regarding sex should be handled at home especially through elementary school and the parents should always be informed about any decisions their child makes while at school.  Under these policies, a parent may find themselves accused of child abuse if they encourage their child to embrace their biological sex. These policies are also dangerous!  If a biological boy wants to use the girls bathroom, he is allowed to do that and schools are not obligated to let parents know!  At what age is this appropriate?  In fact, under these policies all students can use any bathroom they would like.  This will be a nightmare for most schools creating more problem than it solves. Students with gender disphoria should have the support and help that they need.  Schools can be a wonderful resource for students, but should never be allowed to take a parent's rightful place in teaching their children about sex.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

To call CPS over a parent not wanting to scar or abuse their child with gender transformations is absurd. Hell to the no with this motion.

They are too extreme.  I oppose their use with especially young children, who are too young to understand what it means to be a different gender.  This is child abuse.  I recall reading about a young girl who wanted to be a boy.  Why?  She revealed she hoped to please her parents who had wanted a boy.  Great Britain, ahead of us in this movement, seems to be having regrets. There should be punishment for students who pretend to be a transgender to gain an advantage in sports, academics, to challenge a teacher, to see girls undress.  Teachers should not be permitted to promote transgenderism.  Teachers are influential adults in children's lives.  They should not encourage or affirm transgenderism.  How many children who change their gender change it back when adults?  Is it about 80%?  You are opening a Pandora's Box. I studied education at Radford with honors many years ago.  I would never consider teaching today with such inappropriate mandates.  You will prevent many gifted students from seeking such a career that is not centered around academics. I think you need to be concerned about Virginia's children's academics, not gender change.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Previous Comment Next Comment Back to List of Comments 1/16/21  4:45 pm Commenter: Very Concerned VA RESIDENT Very Strongly Oppose This draft policy put these children in harm’s way rather than protecting them by potentially assisting them in a transgender direction that they are too young to understand and that cannot be reversed.  Common sense tells us that children should not drive a car, drink alcohol, smoke weed, vote, or decide on medical procedures.  Why should gender selection be a child’s decision? No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex. Schools have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students not just the less than .5% of the population. This policy completely undermines the authority of parents and gives schools and teachers jurisdiction in an area that is not theirs to control. Teachers will be at risk of prosecution since it seems it would be impossible to maintain a student’s gender preferences confidentially while the student uses any gender bathroom or locker room they prefer? The draft model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children. The document ignores the scientific, medical evidence of biology and also the known long-term negative outcomes for the individuals that realize they have made a mistake.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Transgender students are at much higher risk for bullying, suicide, and other emotional traumas, and this policy could very literally save lives.

An individual's gender is determined at conception by their creator, and is not subject to human manipulation or change.  Attempts to reverse these God given genders will result in lasting physical, emotional, and mental harm.  Children and young people do not have the mental maturity to understand the consequences and make these radical life changing decisions.  It is wrong for the our education organizations to encourage the child in making these decisions.  The policies set forth by this document does encourage children to do this and discourages them from discussing and being accountable to their parents.  This is the responsibility of the parents to teach, train, and make these decisions regarding their child's welfare.  The parent does have the right to discourage the child from altering their birth gender without government interference.  These policies will allow biological males to utilize female restrooms and locker facilities which could cause sexual abuse, fear and trauma for these females.  This policy forces one view of human sexuality on others whose differing views and faith does not agree with this policy.  The government does not have the right to take away this freedom of thought, speech, and belief from the parents, teachers and student.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In NO universe is this the definition of gender. None. Nada. Never. Gender is a reference to Biology. If you have 2 X chromosomes you are female. If you have an X and a Y you are male. If you are having a hard time deciding what you are, look where the pee comes out. If you are deformed (either congenitally or accidentally) a compassionate society will pity you, but reality must not be deformed to \"normalize\" you. This Draft is offensive from page one. Chuck it. Forget it. Virginia public schools urgently need to deal with bullying, violence, crime, drugs, and TEACHING THE BASICS! Math competency and English competency MUST take priority over \"political correctness indoctrination. Virginia schools aren't graduating enough kids with competence in basic Biology with just the 2 real genders - focus on that first!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

School is meant to be a safe and supportive environment to foster the growth, individuation, and education of all students. It is our responsibility and duty to prevent and heal past, current, and future gender-based traumatization. TGNC students pose no threat to other students by being given access to their human rights and are only harmed by the discriminatory policies that prevent basic interaction, integration, and self development. TGNC students can and do thrive when given an environment which supports and protects them just as their cisgender peers are given. I truly hope these policies will be given the overwhelming support they deserve, and transgender and gender nonconforming youth will have their identities nurtured and rights protected with a safe, inclusive learning and social environment.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I strongly oppose this policy. What if a boy claims to be a girl in order to have access to the girls bathroom/ locker rooms for his own sexual pleasure? What if a child does not want their parent to know they are a transgender, and ends up telling a teacher, and then harms themselves, or even commits suicide? Are their parents going to know then? This policy does nothing but undermines parents and their rights to guide and raise their children. It is a prime example of government overreach for the sake of control. As a school teacher myself, I cannot believe how many potential liabilities can come from this for your public schools. I also am dumbfounded in how it claims to put kids first. Gender Dysphoria is a serious mental health problem in our society today. This policy would only encourage a mental disorder in our youth, when they already have a lot of pressure and things to work through as being a teenager. If you really want to make an inclusive environment, then coming up with a mental health plan to help kids through the pain and suffering they already have with this disorder, would be a start. If you implement this policy you are going to lose a lot of people from the public schools. Many people have already left Fair Fax County public schools, Do you want more losses?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This gives a free entrance by an abuser who pretends to be a transgender to gain a free access to women’s lockers/bathrooms and involve in sexual misconduct or other inappropriate behavior (free pornography). This very proposal puts the safety of one group at greater risk (girls and boys) under the pretense of protecting another group (transgender). Children in elementary,  middle or high school are very much children and should be protected and treated as such. No exception!!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

How are teachers and schools qualified to help a student make this kind of decision? I’m trained and licensed in psychology and even then there is a process in helping a person determine this kind of life changing decision. Certainly a teacher or guidance counselor IS NOT QUALIFIED to do so. This is also taking away parental involvement and consent and encouraging kids to make very important life changing decisions without their parents. That is Dangerous!!! This  is also jeopardizing the safety of girls in bathrooms. How do you plan to keep them safe if any boy can walk in without being stopped especially in middle and high school? This mandate should propose separate bathrooms for those who identify with another gender not the use of the same bathrooms.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My husband and I were a part of this lengthy debate in 2017 when PWC school board ignored hundreds of concerned parents and rushed a vote to include gender identity and sexual orientation as a protected class. On first glance, this seems like a compassionate measure, but upon deeper inspection there are serious and disturbing ramifications of this policy and the policies you are promoting now. A primary concern is privacy. After the #Metoo movement, you would think that girls' and young women's right to privacy would be respected, but instead they are being shut out of safe changing spaces and bathroom facilities. A PWC school board member in 2017 responded to my concerns about bathroom/locker room privacy saying that it didn't matter because \"boys were already gaining access to girls restrooms for sex\" during school hours. When I asked about the short and long term consequences of these rushed policies, the same board member said \"I'll be off the board by then.\" It's clear from my interactions with the PWC school board that Virginia public schools cannot even enforce basic codes of conduct and safety and that prior to 2017 thay were repeatedly failing at enforcing decent and respectful behavior between students. This sad reality is not going to improve with these ill advised transgender policies but only become more chaotic and ridiculous. There is a very small percentage of children who actually experience gender dysphoria, and yet the DOE wants to encourage the ENTIRE student population, beginning in kindergarten, to experience and promote transgenderism. You will obscure the actual students who need help, while confusing the biological reality of thousands of MINORS. You also want to destroy or undermine legitimate parental authority, responsibility, and protection for their children. Have you forgotten who has given you the authority to teach and keep our children safe during school hours and activities? YOU ARE GIVEN PERMISSION TO EDUCATE CHILDREN FROM THE AUTHORITY AND AGREEMENT OF PARENTS. Virginia schools have no right to undermine a parent's primary and essential right to know what occurs to their child during school and their fundamental right to raise, guide, and protect them! For a child struggling with their biological sex/gender identity, there can be many reasons for the outward expression of transgenderism. It can be a reg flag for abuse; unstable home life; serious illness or death in the family; domestic violence; neglect; other trauma or major life event. How can assigning a random pronoun of choice ever meet the mental health needs of children with gender dysphoria or their common comorbid illnesses of depression, phobia, and adjustment disorders? This is a mental health crisis that requires real care, NOT transgender activism. You have developed these policies listening to a lobbying movement that makes up less than .5 percent of the population. These policies are about undermining legitimate parent authority and social experimentation on our children. Please reject this disturbing trend of rejecting biological reality that leads to horrible pharmaceutical drugs and horrific surgeries on children. Will the DOE take ownership for the inevitable course you are promoting when it includes breast binding, breast amputation, puberty blocking drugs, sterility, amputation of reproductive organs? Will you be ready for the harassment lawsuits and other lawsuits that will follow from the mental and physical harm from your endorsement and promotion of transgenderism? You must oppose adopting these extreme policies and this blatant movement of social experimentation on Virginia's children. You will continue to see an exodus by families from your public schools and you will be making the case for taxpayers to object and oppose their tax dollars being used to fund these school policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

He becomes a handicapped male. Likewise, when a biological female has surgery to transition her gender, she does not become male. She becomes a handicapped female. This proposed policy would force school officials to defend a minor's decision to mutilate his or her own body with the amputations done in sex reassignment surgery. Please consider the absurdity of this policy with the following scenario. If a biologically male student were to go to his school counselor and say that he believes he should have his hand surgically amputated, the counselor would likely diagnose him with body integrity identity disorder and intervene to get the student mental help before the student could take steps toward self-mutilation. However, if the same student were to go to his school counselor and say that he believes he should have his penis surgically removed, under this policy, the counselor would be forced to affirm this student's desire and defend this student from anyone who would try to dissuade him away from self-mutilation, potentially including the student's parents. Depending on how Recommended Standard, p.13, of this policy is interpreted, parents who do not affirm their child's expression of gender identity could be reported Child Protective Services. “School staff should be prepared to support the safety and welfare of transgender students when their families are not affirming...Whenever school personnel suspects or becomes aware that a student is being abused, neglected, or at risk of abuse or neglect by their parent due to their transgender identity, they should report those concerns to Child Protective Services immediately.” (Recommended Standard, p.13) Please rescind the purposed Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is not fair to the children or the teachers. School is a place to learn academics not theory on genders. This is a slippery slope allowing opposite genders to go into bathrooms and locker rooms together. This will eventual fail with a child being taken advantage of sexually. More parents will pull their children from public school and the public school will start to loose their funding. This is a very bad idea.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

But these troubling policies proposed by VDOE are totally unworkable and will force all students, faculty and administrators to comply with views of sex and gender, that might directly conflict with their own fundamental beliefs and understanding.   They will also infringe on the rights of a potentially much larger group of students, faculty and parents than the group they believe they are trying to protect.   It’s seems more like an agenda or ideology is being pushed, rather than thoughtful, measured policy in the best interest of the entire school community   The VDOE went way, way too far and needs to scrap this entirely and go back to the drawing board, that is if the current policies are not effective  - and I am not sure that they are not.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

First, it places the Department of Education in a position of greater authority than parents. Parents are primarily responsible for raising their children and have a greater insight into their children’s lives than a school administrator or teacher ever can. No government agency should have that level of authority in a child’s life when parents are involved. Secondly, this policy can be abused. It can be abused by children who wish to cause problems for teachers or administrators by deciding in a moment to change their preferred pronoun. It can be abused by children who wish to cause members of the opposite biological sex discomfort by using the same facilities, or be used as an opportunity for voyeurism. It can be abused by teachers and administrators who want to push an agenda and encourage children to explore gender identity when the child or the parents may not wish to do so or when the child is exploring gender identity in a safe home environment. Thirdly, parents or children who follow a faith which does not view gender identity in the same way as the policy (and as the government) will be forced to conform to this policy and abdicate walking in accordance with their faith. The argument will be made that religion is separate from government based education. I submit this is not a separation of religion from schools, but rather government forcing anyone with a faith objection to separate from their faith while in a school environment. This is an infringement of the First Amendment right to practice religion without interference from the government. This policy is part of an agenda. Instead of thinking through the potential impacts to children and families those with an agenda to push are rushing headlong into making unwarranted changes.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Therefore it is between children and parents to make these decisions. No state organization should be given the power and responsibility that belong to parents. This is a democracy, not a dictatorship Secondly, allowing children to use any bathroom is unsafe. Any boy can pretend to identify as a girl. Then use the girl’s bathroom to harass or assault a girl. I’m shocked that anyone would propose this document. These people apparently have not worked with children or understand the importance of the neutral family and their rights and responsibilities.

Those who protest speak out of anger and fear, which will not be satisfied even if the regulations do appear. I know that these students feel uncomfortable and fearful in our schools, which hinders learning and their mental and emotional growth. It's also contrary to the stated goal of Chesterfield County to prepare students to \"adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world\". Certainly our nation's recent acceptance of the LGTBQ community is an example of that rapidly changing world. These regulations would protect those who need protecting without harming the rest of us, and they should be adapted.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I strongly oppose these policies, which are obviously written by activists who are promoting their own orthodoxy and who want to gain power and influence by forcing it on the rest of Virginia.  And perhaps they stand to gain monetarily as well. Compelled speech in a government-run establishment, as in the case of demanding preferred pronouns in schools, (p12) is a violation of our rights under the first amendment.  The State wants an allegiance to the new orthodoxy and I do not consent.  People must not be forced to use certain words; it has to be a matter of free will.   Manners are a choice and mistakes are by accident.  You cannot compel spoken words.    A student has a right to request that a pronoun or name be used.  Others have a right to freely exercise language within the free speech framework. Parental rights must be respected by the government's schools.   Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children.  It is insulting that a school would keep secrets from parents. (p12, 13)  This is government overreach to the extreme and constitutes a severe breach of trust.  Parents are first and foremost responsible for their child's upbringing.  In particular, I worry about special needs children and activists grooming them in the schools.  This is a danger and I don't see any protections for them in this document. The obsession with gender identity and intersectionality is a dangerous game that activists are playing at the expense of children and families. (p6) Children need to be children and not have their worldviews conditioned by an unscientific critical theory culture that some elites have embraced and want to spread.   Children deserve a childhood based in reality, not theory.  Untested theory that is used to break down the natural binary gender division is unhealthy for society.  The natural world should be a model here. This document talks about bullying and transgender children but uses statistics for self-reported LGBTQ+ students.  (p9) That is not good science because it lumps all groups together and there is not even an idea of how many students in VA view themselves as transgender.  Activists have done the research so it is not neutral in the way a real scientific study should be done.  Activists are essentially bullying the Virginia Department of Education to adopt their orthodoxy.  I reject their orthodoxy while upholding the right of all students to be treated with respect because they are human beings (and in my belief, made in the image of God).  No one should be bullied and that is already built into school policies. With regards to restrooms, I believe that the privacy, safety, and modesty of the larger group should be preserved.  (p18) It goes against all common sense to make a restroom/locker room/showers concession when other alternatives are available.  Each person's dignity should be upheld, including those of the larger group.  You cannot erase women and girls when you adopt a pro-transgender student agenda. That seems to be happening more and more lately. The policies provide absolutely no exceptions or accommodations for a student or teacher whose religious faith, conscience, or understanding of biology and sociology prevents them from being able to go along with the transgender ideology and policies.  I do not and will not accept this post-modernist view of the world.  I do not want this world-view imposed on my community by taxpayer-funded schools. These troubling policies proposed by VDOE are totally unworkable and will force all students, staff and administrators to comply with an empirically false view of sex and gender, even if it directly conflicts with their own fundamental beliefs.  This becomes totalitarian. By conditioning children to believe a false reality, that they can choose their gender, that little children should question how they are made and how they should look, you are sowing seeds of destruction.  You are not promoting the common good, which is something the government should take very seriously.  I will not live by lies, nor uphold them. I certainly do not want to fund them. Who will benefit the most from these policies?  The organizations that will win professional development contracts from Virginia public schools will hit the jackpot.

Nobody is going to pretend to be transgender and face all that discrimination and go through all that effort just to be able to be closer to a stall where people of a different biological sex are peeing - this is not a danger to cis women. On the other hand, refusing to allow trans people into the gender-appropriate bathroom does harm them, due both to having to not use the bathroom for the whole day, which causes medical complications, and the high risk of suicide in the trans community stemming from cruel, ignorant disregard (like the rules currently surrounding bathrooms and the opinions appearing in a lot of these comments) for their legitimate gender identity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is no question that biologically speaking, there are two genders, male and female. An infinitesimal percentage of people actually have some mixture of the two. Girls and women are female, and should have rights as females, such as dedicated bathrooms, locker rooms and sports. There are clear biological differences between the sexes which make it unfair for males to participate in female sports. A male who decides to call himself a female is NOT a female. Please do not vote for ANY measure which would seek to deny these biological (and Biblical) truths, and to brainwash our children with these inaccurate ideas.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Those girls will not be able to compete.  You will ruin sports!  Even Tulsi Gabbard agrees!  There are also concerns about the safety of girls with proposed changes.  Teachers shouldn’t be forced to keep Children’s experimental changes from parents.  This puts teachers in a very precarious position which they should never be put in!  It’s also not fair to parents who entrust you to keep them apprised of what is going on with their children.  Children not transitioning have a right to privacy that would be violated if you vote for the new proposed legislation.  You are also opening the state to lawsuits if a teacher refers to a child by their birth pronoun accidentally.  We do not need taxpayer money going to frivolous lawsuits.  It will not be fair to the teachers. Please vote against it for so many reasons!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Furthermore, statistical analysis identifies only 9.2 of 1,000,001 people identify as transgender. This is 0.00092% of the population! Instead, put much-needed emphasis on improving academic results --27th worldwide for a country that thinks it's so intelligent is the height of arrogance. Page 6 Definitions – “Gender Identity: A person’s internal sense of their own identity as a boy/man, girl/woman, something in between, or outside the male/female binary. Gender identity is an innate part of a person’s identity and can be the same or different from the sex assigned at birth.” THIS 'DEFINITION' IS INCORRECT. FACTUALLY SPEAKING, A PERSON'S \"INTERNAL SENSE\" DOES NOT OVERRIDE THEIR PHYSICAL MAKE-UP, NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY IMAGINE. SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS HAS PROVEN THAT , A 'MALE' REMAINS MALE (TESTOSTERONE), AND A 'FEMALE' REMAINS FEMALE (ESTROGEN), REGARDLESS OF THEIR 'INTERNAL SENSE'. HOWEVER, ONCE SURGERY IS PERFORMED TO MODIFY SEX ORGANS (AND RENDER THE INDIVIDUAL STERILE), A LIFETIME OF HORMONE THERAPY BECOMES NECESSARY TO TRY TO MIMIC THE INDIVIDUAL'S 'NEW' SEX. Page 10 – “Any incident or complaint of discrimination, harassment, or bullying shall be given prompt attention, including investigating the incident and taking appropriate corrective action, by the school administrator … The [School Division’s Designated Contact] shall be available to hear concerns from students or parents when complaints are not resolved at the school level .” A student could be investigated, and if resolved at the school level, a parent would not be notified. TWO ISSUES: (1) A PARENT MUST ALWAYS BE NOTIFIED. THE PARENT PAYS TAXES, SO THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR IS A DE FACTO EMPLOYEE OF EACH PARENT. (2) THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR MUST BE CERTIFIED BY A PROFESSIONAL PSYCHIATRIST IN TRANSGENDER PSYCHIATRY. Page 10 – “For transgender students, acts of verbal harassment may include the intentional and persistent use of names and pronouns not consistent with their identity.” School staff and students would face disciplinary action. A REASON TO KEEP LEARNING VIRTUAL. Page 12 – “school personnel shall treat information relating to a student’s transgender status as being particularly sensitive, shall not disclose it to other students and parents .” UNACCEPTABLE -- PARENTAL AUTHORITY MUST NEVER BE IGNORED. Page 12 – “School divisions will need to consider the health and safety of the student in situations where students may not want their parents to know about their transgender status … There are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student’s request to affirm their gender identity…” UNACCEPTABLE -- PARENTAL AUTHORITY MUST NEVER BE IGNORED. Page 13 – “Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence .” UNACCEPTABLE -- DO NOT GIVE CREDENCE TO A CASE OF 'THE KING'S NEW CLOTHES'. “School staff should be prepared to support the safety and welfare of transgender students when their families are not affirming,” and school personnel who suspects a child is at risk “ should report those concerns to Child Protective Services immediately.” UNACCEPTABLE -- THIS IS A SOCIALIST POLICY -- PARENTAL AUTHORITY IS PARAMOUNT. ONLY ARROGANCE AND POWER-HUNGRY BUREAUCRATS SUPPORT REMOVING CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS -- YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. IT IS THE  PARENTS' RIGHT, PREROGATIVE, PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT SEXUALITY. Page 17 – “For any school program, event, or activity, including extra-curricular activities that are segregated by gender, (School Division) shall allow students to participate in a manner consistent with their gender identity.” “Athletic participation regulated by the Virginia High School League (VHSL) or another organization such as the Virginia Scholastic Rowing Association (VASRA), as well as middle school athletics, shall be in compliance with policies and rules outlined by those organizations.” OUTRAGEOUS. THIS WOULD NEGATE 49 YEARS OF TITLE IX PROTECTIONS OF GIRLS AND WOMENS ATHLETIC PROGRAMS, ROB GIRLS OF POSSIBLE ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIPS, AND ELIMINATE THEM FROM COMPETING IN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AND OLYMPICS. INCREDIBLY STUPID. Page 18 – “Access to facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to a student’s gender identity shall be available to all students .” “School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.” THIS WOULD ELIMINATE PRIVACY AND SAFETY IN THE USE OF BATHROOMS AND LOCKER ROOMS.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

To say parents can get charged with child abuse or neglect because their children say that God made them either a boy or a girl is one of the scariest and most dangerous things I have ever heard. This bill will damage and confuse children beyond repair not to mention put innocent children’s lives in danger. If this bill passes I pray every parent and teacher with any moral and biblical convictions with pull their children and themselves out of public school immediately.

With that knowledge, school is the #1 place where children are required to spend their time and therefore, it is our responsibility to protect them and we protect all children. Trans children (as evidence in the statistics below) are very vulnerable and it is mainly due to misunderstanding and assumptions. The bottom line is that they, like all children, deserve to have an education where they are supported. Their existence and recognition does not take away from the safety of any other children, it just includes them in the umbrella of benefits all children receive. This is not a matter of feelings, it is a matter of safety and health. 35% have attempted suicide within the past year (CDC, 2019); 61% are likely to feel less safe at school (GLSEN); 77% report being harassed (U.S. Transgender Survey, 2016); 24% report being physically assaulted (U.S. Transgender Survey, 2016); 13% sexual assault U.S. Transgender Survey, 2016). Recognize, honor, value, and respect trans children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It is the parent's responsibility. This policy encourages children to hide information from their parents, creating a family rift.  How is this good for our society. Allowing biological boys to change for PE in a girls locker room does not protect the girls. This policy is not thought out and is harmful to our community. I still have not heard a reasonable explanation how someone can biologically be a boy or girl but somehow really be the opposite.  Maybe you wish you were the other, but you can never really be the other no matter how many operation you have.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

What it does mean is that I know that my culture may not be displayed and congratulated, and my ideas of my culture will most likely not be changing their ideas.  I can still be me and still be accepted into their society, but I understand it is not my place to turn their culture upside down and topple their customs and ways.  These ideas have parallel constructs within the topic of transgenderism.  Most people who are male and female from birth and live those related lifestyles are not opposed to others having a different sexuality.  But when those individuals and institutions who do not assent to the transgender lifestyles are assailed by those who want to change the cultural norm and majority, then it becomes problematic at best.  One case in point - biological males competing against girls in sports.  We have to say \"no\".  It's a vote FOR our girls.  In this area, hypocrisy is revealed by those who champion women in equitable salaries with men, etc., yet, they do not champion the young girls who have played sports all their lives.  Those girls who have worked hard for a college scholarship in their sport, only to have a person who identifies differently from their birth sex, take it all away from them.  How can this be championing women's rights?  Societies have customs, values and beliefs because of what the majority hold in common together.  US culture holds in common assigned sex at birth.  Pluralism holds a society together and pluralism should be the voice of reason in this situation regarding transgenders' appeals for rights in our schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Having a supportive, consistent approach across the Commonwealth seems like an important addition to ensure that every child has access to educational equity. My son's best friend is trans. I sincerely wish that there had been this much forethought as he went through his schooling. Unfortunately, he didn't graduate from high school, in part due to the challenges his transition presented at school. It has to be brutal to correct teachers every single year when they call roll and your name is your pre-transition name. I sincerely hope this helps lead to more understanding of the issues facing trans community and helps ease the way for the children coming along down the road. As adults, it is incumbent upon us to enrich all lives by creating inclusive communities that allow all people to thrive so that we can be positively influenced by the unique contributions of all members of our society.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If you truly are concerned for them you would make free counseling available to these individuals. Johns Hopkins University was one of the first in the nation to open sex change facilities for transgendered individuals. They closed that facility in the 70s because doing psychological follow ups on their clients made them realize that they had wasted their time by chopping off perfectly good body parts. And that their clients were no better off after sex change operations than they were before. They concluded that doing a physical operation for some thing that’s a psychological problem is futile. Look it up. A major study from two Johns Hopkins University doctors a couple of years ago stated that “a woman trapped in a man’s body is not supported by scientific evidence”.  See the study And the new Atlantis special report on sexuality and gender, by Dr. Mayer and Dr. McHugh.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Boys are born boys, girls are born girls.  Nothing, no surgery, no ideas, no prayers can change that.  To suggest that a boy who feels like a girl can compete fairly in any athletic event is a disgrace to both sexes.  To allow boys to shower with girls under any circumstance is disgusting and should alarm all parents.  These people who feel \"different\" from their God given sex/gender at birth are a very small minority in our country and should be treated as such.  We don't bend to small minorities....we don't adjust our lives for the very small minority.....we don't impose unnatural ideas into our lives to protect the few.  We are all free to do as we please, but let's start with common sense. There are two genders period.  You are either one or the other.  It's not a choice.

Nothing else needs to be said. Unfortunately there are too many idiots in Richmond and in policy making positions in general that more must be said. This is a case where the 99.9% are being treated badly in a misguided attempt to mollify the activists for the 0.1% Yes there are people who believe they are a different sex. But, there are people who suffer from bulimia, and similar mental issues. But should we encourage people who believe they are too fat to go on fasts? Of course not. The exact issue is the case with transgendered people. You don't treat people by indulging them in activities that will not cure them or allow them to live with their problem. The proposed policy of allowing people of opposite biological sexes to use the same facilities in public school is misguided, and will only lead to more emotional pain for the transgendered as well as many others. This policy will also create a situation that invites sexual abuse of our children, and creates a potential playground for sexual predators. And, yes transgender people are sometimes serious sexual predators. Not only that, how do you propose to \"police\" the locker rooms. Men watching over the girl's locker rooms? Women looking over the men's locker rooms? I urge you to completely scrap this proposal and look for a program that can provide compassionate care for the transgendered people it purports to care for.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Chromosomes and science let's us know ones sex over 99% of the time.  It's really not difficult.  If someone sincerely thinks something is true, does that make it true?  Some peoples logic says yes.  Most observe that life does not really work this way. If we continue down this \"It must be true because I feel it, or I think it\", does this logic hold up when consistantly practiced in life?  Try asking your banker when you think you have plenty of money in the bank and they say you are overdrawn.  How does that pragmatically work?  What happens if this logic is forced upon the vast majority who do not embrace it?  Is it fair to run over and abuse their sincerely held thoughts and ideas?  Some say \"absolutely\"!  Think about life that is pursued on that basis. Noted and respected doctors who once preformed this surgery have stopped.  Why? Because of the psychological problems and long term issues they have observed after studying.  They lose money but gain peace of mind.   Yes some also disagree but more often than not this is because of other factors than long term positive functionality. To honor the significant majority who find the implications of transgender policy in our schools very problematic, and even a threat to their children, I am very much against tax payer subsidized policy supporting this unproven direction.

If trans kids don’t feel safe using the bathroom, they will avoid them. That is not healthy for their bodies, their mental/ emotional health, and it speaks poorly about the community as they are enforcing unnecessarily gender roles on toilets. Just let the kids pee.

There are only males and females who are natural descendants of the first pair. There will never be any other. And nothing that we can do to our minds or bodies can change that.  Rather, we are to ACCEPT and REJOICE in our God-given sex/gender. Suppose throughout all of history each generation had to decide what their sex/gender was for them. What chaos. What a burden of confusion.   For our schools to teach other than the natural, biological truth about our bodies is a travesty.  It amounts to mental and physical abuse.  If we pursue this foolishness, how long will it take to prove it is wrong? How many lives will be ruined? The day will come in which we wake up, with great regret. It will be like the blindness of previous generations who perpetuated the myth to view slaves as property and of only having value as workers.  DEFUND THE POLICE?

The schools should be teaching reading, writing and arithmetic and let parents teach their children about these other sensitive issues.  All children should be respected and be able to learn without fear.  Children should not be identified by their sexual orientation but allowed to be known by who they are as a person.  Let's not teach children to hide behind these labels that serve only to further divide us. It is irresponsible as well as reprehensible to accommodate, promote, celebrate or force gender dysphoria on taxpayers and most certainly not on our children. This is not a matter of equality.  It is a matter of simple biology and healthy psychology.  This does not mean to ignore those who suffer or encourage maltreatment of those affected.  It means address the dysfunction as such and give help. These proposed policies do not help; they hinder and deceive... all at the expense of the children.   Our society can not survive if we are duped into promoting deception of nature.  Lord, have mercy.\"\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is the right of all American children and youth to receive a \"free and appropriate education\" under FAPE, and this includes trans and non-binary children and youth.  A person, who is misgendered, bullied, and forced to use facilities that do not conform with their identity are not in a safe comfortable space conducive to learning and growth.  Please keep in mind the equal rights of trans and non-binary children and youth to a safe productive space to learn. Thank you, Wendy Katz, MSW\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is downright scary our government is putting into law that things going on with our children can be purposely kept from us. Complete government over reach. A child’s teacher is there to teach, not counsel a child on genders, or to use different names and pronouns and keep parents in the dark. No child should be bullied or discriminated against, that’s about all I agree with in this bill. Bathrooms/ locker rooms are separated by sex- sex isn’t ‘assigned’ it’s actual something called biology. Besides ignoring biology, this bill also ignores any other children’s rights and privacy.

In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” ? Theodore Dalrymple\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

A person can decide they wholeheartedly feel like they are a fish, but that doesn't make them one biologically. This ideology does not belong in the schools where children are. As a grown woman I don't want to be forced to use a restroom or change in front of a man because that person identifies as female. But as an adult, I can choose to go elsewhere...our school-aged children stuck in school all day doesn't have that option. They should not be mandated to do so, nor should the government have a right to go against a parent's rights of faith and belief system to indoctrinate all students with this proposed policy. I am a voting citizen, and if you vote for the policy, you will NOT have my vote in the next election!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Schools shouldn't make it harder. (Support)\nBody:\nLet me first say that there has never been any verifiable instance of a trans person being sexually predatory towards others in a bathroom. It has never happened once in US history. Next, let's remember that transitioning is hard. It is a time of extreme vulnerability, where a trans person experiences constant degradation, harassment, discrimination, and often violence from their family, colleagues, and strangers. No one pretends to be trans just for fun. It's an extremely traumatic experience, second only to the constant trauma of NOT transitioning and living a lie. Sexual predators don't need to pretend to be trans in order to assault others. If a predator wanted to walk into a bathroom and assault someone, they can. There is no reason they would open themselves up to the kind of ridicule and violence that comes with being openly trans, just so they could get into a certain bathroom. It's absurd. Trans people want to use the correct bathrooms for all the same reasons that YOU like to use bathrooms that correspond with YOUR gender. Namely, they want to pee and poop in peace. By god, just let them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

For a long time it has been the most comfortable and easiest thing to simply saying there are two bathrooms one for boys and one for girls in order to provide the most privacy and the least expectation of anything going amuck. Now we’re having to face a situation where people are not only taking surgical operations to make themselves different but simply verbally declaring an inclination that therefore is a political reality. That makes things incredibly more complex. So much so that we can’t simply create a different bathroom for every gender type, gender expression, Sexual orientation, dysphoria, or assigned sex. Not enough rooms in the whole school to make that many bathrooms. To my mind this could all be solved by simple logistical solutions. One of the things I read about in California it was a bathroom in a park designed to have individual stalls for maximum privacy without declaring a space to be gendered. In other words the stall itself becomes the gender specific bathroom. When I enter into that space it becomes my gender. When I leave it again it is no longer my gender. so how does this apply to us. To convert the bathrooms in any building public or private business or school to this kind of thinking takes a little bit of work. First the stalls themselves have to be supplied with decent closures for personal privacy and the ability to lock them securely against all intrusion. That means rebuilding bathrooms but it’s not a huge expense and it’s probably possible to do a lot of that at a minimal cost. If we can retrofit every business in America for Covid cough screens and other personal protections in a matter of weeks and months we can certainly retrofit bathrooms to provide necessary personal privacy. In fact once this start happening and people are building this I guarantee individual businesses will pop up producing the very products necessary to retrofit all bathrooms to a certain security standard. The next biggest problem is how to handle the spaces themselves. Thankfully that too is a solution that’s easily managed although this one is slightly more construction-based. To conserve on plumbing most male female bathrooms live back to back sharing a common wall and one which could easily be punched through to produce a single common space. Gender specific signs on the outside become unnecessary. Common activities like laying your book bag down being in your briefcase or purse washing your hands all happen in the non-gendered space. Anything more specific than that takes place in a completely private stall. there is still a couple of logistical hiccups. Urinals probably need to be removed and retrofitted with actual stalls. The fact that you can fit four urinals in the space or two stalls to accommodate  more people Will have a detrimental effect on number of people serviced in the men’s room whereas ladies rooms typically have longer lines. That is unfortunate reality of the situation. I think we will also run into more cases where parents will want to monitor the activity within the restroom more carefully because they know that there will be shared restrooms between genders all genders and even adults. Already many schools provide an adults only bathroom for this reason. as for locker rooms where disrobing is in fact a public event I don’t have a solution. I wasn’t very comfortable on dressing and re-dressing in front of other men when I was in high school and all the track team. Not changing out of my actual underwear between sporting events and school, between history class gym class and math class was a solution but not a particularly sanitary one. How does one then resolve the extended problem of a boy wearing women’s clothing walking into a locker space with boys not wearing women’s clothing and women wearing women’s clothing. My wife wasn’t comfortable showering in front of other women much less showering where men might see her. I am not sure I’m comfortable showering in front of other men. I made great efforts to shower and dress early in the morning or late in the dorms shower time just to take advantage of the single private shower stall out of the whole complex. I don’t know that there can be a solution to the efficient disrobing cleanliness and re-addressing of a massive number of people required for a team. But just saying that we shouldn’t be concerned or saying let the student claim the sex they want, those answers aren’t going to resolve anything either In short I think we can very easily arrange for anyone to use a bathroom with adequate privacy and security. I don’t think there’s a ready solution for locker rooms and sports. I don’t support the LGBTQ agenda but I do recognize the need for children to Use a rest room. Maybe with enough smart people you’ll come up with a locker room solution that I don’t currently have.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The government should never tell little children to lie to their parents, and teach them that this is ok and the right thing to do. This is further enforced by teachers being able to legally lie to parents about what is going on at school. Parents need to raise their children, and the government should not presume to know more about raising children than parents. Furthermore, this is going down a dangerous road to where the government can take control of anything by simply saying it is for our own good. A brief look through history shows why this is such a bad idea.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Through its blanket endorsement of views like these, the VDOE has gone far beyond the path the General Assembly prescribed. Sex is not “assigned” at birth.  It is generically determined at conception. The recurring use of the phrase “assigned at birth” in the proposed policy is objectively wrong and crosses over the line into propaganda and double-speak. The proposed policy gives transgender students privileges over and above those of other students, namely the right to use the bathrooms, shower facilities, overnight sleeping arrangements and locker rooms of their own choosing.  Other students are not given similar privileges. Our society has sex segregated facilities for many reasons, not the least of which is a respect for privacy.  Do members of the Virginia Department of Education really support making their young daughters disrobe in front of biological males? Local school boards already have non-discrimination policies in place to protect transgender students.  Such situations require tact and sensitivity to accommodate and protect everyone involved.

These policies disregard the role of parents in public education, and express views that are contrary to those of many parents. Through its blanket endorsement of such views, the VDOE goes far beyond the path the General Assembly prescribed. The model regulations infringe upon the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children, and could very well pit children against their parents. Schools should not be accommodating the particularly harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible \"gender transitions.\"\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Students do not have the maturity to handle possible abuses. Privacy is very important in middle school and high school. Gone are the days when all parents taught their children to be respectful of others.  Unfortunately parents very often support their children no matter how extreme their ‘rule’ violations may be.  I am very much opposed to subjecting preteens and teenagers to not only having to deal with the possible bad behavior of bullies or other abusive peers but to also have another level of temptations of their own. Bathrooms and locker rooms need to be gender specific and dress codes do need to apply differently based on gender.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The proposal indicates parents will not be informed if a student has expressed to school officials the desire to be the opposite gender or use the opposite gender bathroom.    The proposal indicates parents won't be notified if a biological male uses the same changing facility as their daughter and vice versa.  What about the privacy and safety of the nontransgender child?  The fact that disciplinary action will be taken if a student or teacher does not use the child's desired pronoun.  Where does that leave the parent who has no idea this has happened?  These bills may support the transgender child's rights, but it completely ignores all other students' and parents rights.   I ask you not to implement or enforce the proposed Model Policies for the treatment of Transgender students. Instead, I ask that you write a fair and equitable policy that includes all students and their parents.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

That is the main issue with this legislation at its core. My child is in school to be educated in the basic core subjects to prepare them for college and the workplace and not to be subjected to the cultural social issues du jour. In addition, as a parent of a teenage daughter, it is NOT appropriate to allow a biological male in the locker room or bathroom with her.  There are other accommodations that can made for the minority of students who need them.  We should not be asking for the majority of students to make uncomfortable accommodations just because it's the current social fad to cater to the vocal minority. Lastly, if what my student or a teacher believes that biological gender is the only truth and speaks to that truth by using the appropriate pronouns, penalizing them is an infringement on their first amendment rights of religion and/or of speech. This type of legislation seeks to stuff liberal ideology down the throats of those with differing opinions under the guise of \"inclusivity.\"  This legislation should NOT pass.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Making broad policies related to our children's sexuality is NOT the job of the schools or teachers.  Making broad policies for a fraction of the school's population is ridiculous.  You cannot in good conscience believe that there won't be severe complications with boys and girls sharing bathrooms and locker rooms or having girls allowed to go topless if boys can????????  What are you monsters even thinking?  Our children are there to learn but ....  we all know how the schools have abandoned that after the last year we've had of only offering TWO days a week for these poor children.  I cannot express my disgust with the VA schools in one comment.  If you pass this legislation I'll be forced to homeschool my children and raise them in a Godly home that teaches REAL history and REAL life skills.  The government school system has become a tick sucking the life blood out of our children and making them unable to function in society as adults.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Schools are for learning and teaching... not trying to convince our kids to become someone their not... especially behind their parents backs!!! The idea of having boys and girls changing together.. no matter the age... is very concerning and wrong!! And to top it off.... stating that its completely ok for girls to go topless during certain activities!!! Are y'all insane!!! Look at how many sexual predators are out they and that's just putting our daughters at even a higher risk. Not to mention how many pictures could be taken by these disgusting people of our daughters!! COME ON PEOPLE..... THIS IS SUCH A DISGRACE!! I have lost all faith in our school systems and that they are safe for our children anymore. If this passes and becomes rules.... my childern will not be a part of it!!

And the dress code is excellent for all students.

Assigned males at birth competing athletically against assigned females - I don't know the answer to this issue, but it clearly requires considered analysis to ensure fair outcomes for all athletes regardless of their assigned genders.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In its present form, I would oppose this policy.  Provided below are the concerns and areas of proposed revision and consideration keyed to proposed policy section and page number. Acknowledgments, Page 3: While I appreciate the extent to which representation for the transgender population has been invited to provide input below, this acknowledgements page does not note participation by ANY organizations or individuals who may hold contrary views to those listed below who would also be qualified to provide input able to insure the generation of an equitable policy and subsequent application for ALL students, which would more fully achieve the objectives of SB 161 and HB 145 to foster environments of non-discrimination/ harrassment-free, as well as a safe and supportive learning environment for all students, including LGBTQ+ students. Such policies should not be generated in isolation from the larger community. If other groups were involved in the development of this policy, then their contributions should be acknowledged here also so that future readers may have the benefit of knowing who contributed to the policy’s formulation. Were the June 2020 advisory committee members identified in the acknowledgments section or was broader participation made than what was documented there? Enumeration of the stakeholders should be made explicitly for the benefit of future readers, for increased transparency and future development evolving from this policy. Terminology, Page 6: Please offer an example where gender expression is not related to a person’s gender identity when the choice of the individual expressing his/her/their gender. How an individual chooses to express themselves is a reflection of their identity. Please enumerate criteria for the establishment of such an expression when, according to this policy, gender fluidity is a permitted gender identity. Guiding Principle, Page 8: Is such a declarative statement regarding gender identity by a five to six year old binding and legally actionable?  Given the range of ages and maturity levels between five to eighteen years of age, seems the elements of this policy are too broadly applied without consideration of student maturity and long-lasting consequences in the interests of the student, for which the parents/guardians are responsible.  Also, how does this policy seek to balance the rights of LGBTQ+/non-binary individuals with the rights of cisgender, binary, heterosexual students so as to minimize social stigmatization for them also in the same manner as enumerated in this section? THROUGHOUT, specifically on pages 10 and 12: “Persistent” and “intentional” need to be defined as they pertain to the standards this policy seeks to establish. Given the potential gender fluidity due to identity, maturity, environment, etc. in conjunction with the developmental phase for persons under the age of 18, makes the perception of persistent and intentional behaviors subjective, and therefore, present the possibility of subjective and potentially capricious harassment accusations against individuals who are ignorant of the student’s preferred gender identity or otherwise limited from using preferred names and pronouns (e.g. teaching foreign languages which only possess binary pronouns for an individual that identifies as non-binary, addressing a cisgender, binary, heterosexual student's comments about a transgender student in order resolve and address both students' concerns, etc.) Student Privacy/Confidentiality, Page 11: How does this process work in an age of social media, where students are still LEARNING to communicate and convey ideas responsibly in social media platforms, which may concurrently be available to broader student, staff, and adult populations within the school’s community?  This policy doesn't even touch on the changing maturity levels of the student populations applicable under this policy. Student Privacy, Page 12: Who are the parties responsible for determining unsupportive families to the transgender students? What are the legal criteria by which families are deemed to be unsupportive? By what authority/authorities are these parties given the right to come between a student and his/her/hirs/their family? What forms of “family support” would qualify as warranting external action if a parent determined such support should be temporarily or permanently taken away from the student? Obviously losing housing should necessitate appropriate authorities, such as the Virginia Department of Social Services/Child Protective Services, intervening for the sake of the student; however, if this is the guiding premise for the policy actions school districts are to foster or build from, some of these areas of intervention need to be enumerated explicitly. Parents should have the primary perview to raise their children, with schools supporting parents in that mission. There needs to be a goal to work with the student to safely share their status with their family. We are doing our student population and families a disservice, if schools facilitate hiding students from their own families. Recommend clarifying this standard applies to notification of other students and other students’ parents, but does not apply to the transgender student’s parents. Student Identification, Page 12-13:  See comment on persistent and intentional. For the sake of those considering or presently employed with the school district, the paragraph needs to be clearer and space needs to be allowed for students, staff, and parents to ask questions and engage students evaluating their gender identity. \"Schools also should be prepared for genuinely innocent confusion or uncertainty that may come up from school staff and students.\" is the ONLY sentence in this entire policy which allows any accommodation for staff or students to engage in a PROCESS that could allow a student to evaluate their gender i...

Strongly opposed\nBody:\nAre we going to ignore SCIENCE, which tells us what gender we are regardless of how we feel?!? Not only are you putting children in danger, you are destroying the fabric of society by introducing TERRIBLE confusion! This is absolutely ridiculous! Do women now need to worry about prostate cancer and men ovarian cancer?? Do we need a refresher that men need more base calories than women? That their metabolic needs are FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT?? As well as bone structure, muscle mass, hormonal differences, etc.?? Why in the world would you introduce teaching that just throws EVIDENCE out the window and puts people in legal jeopardy who accidentally offend someone by saying ‘he’ when on Tuesday it was ‘she’? This is discrimination at the highest level! As a black woman, it’s not right that anyone on any day can just claim this or change that. You’re not helping minorities and under privileged populations—you’re dissolving them and making it even harder to break the cycle of poverty. Women and people of color will no longer have protected status and have the opportunity to achieve equal pay or recognition. A male who can’t cut it in his own field can then claim to be a woman and take spots that belong to others who are actually female! We’re already behind the power curve and trying to change the cultural thinking about women and their role in society, and now a man can just step in, with all his privilege, background, and opportunities I didn’t have access to and take my spot because today he feels like a she?!? Really??\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Science is science. There are only two genders... male and female. Calling oneself a female when a biological male is pretend. Getting sex change surgery does not change chromosomes. I do feel for people who have gender confusion. We should not be unkind. We should help them in the way we help all of those afflicted with addiction or mental illness. However, allowing boys to go into girls bathrooms or lockerooms (and vice versa) is wrong and minimizes the privacy of male and female children. If a transgender person wants to be called a certain name, that is up to them... until you try to indoctrinate our children with anti-science nonsense and forcing them to state that a girl can be a boy or vice versa. Again, we need to be kind but the truth matters and I will not allow our children to be told otherwise to suit a political agenda.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While I believe these children should be shown compassion and love, promoting or pushing children towards embracing a different gender than their biology can have far reaching impact on their future mental and physical health.  For these and basic parenting rights, any bill that would promote removing parental involvement in such far-reaching decisions pertaining to their children should be opposed.  As a citizen of Virginia and a practicing nurse in this great state, I oppose this particular bill.

Turns out that life is extremely much more complex than Darwin could have imagined in 1859.  Peer reviewed scientific literature speaks of the failure of Darwin to explain digital code found in DNA.  A word (the human genome) made up of 6 billion letters (nucleotides) simply does not arise by random mutations.  Of course, the popular press keeps the primary axiom alive because so much of our progressive social theory depends on Darwinism being true, that is, that we are highly evolved animals determining our own fate and making our own rules as we advance as a civilization.  Now that the lie has been put to Darwin's theory, we are left with few choices.  However, as painful as it might be for liberals to accept, intelligent design bubbles to the top as the most viable answer.   And, if that is the case, it behooves leaders to ask how we have been designed (hint:  as Male and Female) and to align social policy with that intelligence, an intelligence that far exceeds that of any one of us, including our elite social planners.  If we want students to find lasting fulfillment and inner peace, encourage them to consider the beauty of their design.  If we want to be politically correct, come up with a bunch of trendy new terms for gender classifications and then find bathrooms and locker rooms to accommodate each of them.  Wise Aesop had something to say about such foolishness way back in 600 BC, but maybe ancient wisdom is no longer taught in government schools.   His fable is called \"The Man, the Boy, and the Donkey.\"   And I save you the time to look it up by telling you his conclusion:  \"Please all and you will please none.\"\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They are NOT protecting a majority of students in the body of a school. Those who have faith based or conscience driven desires for modesty and privacy will be taken advantage of and abused- there is no outlet for their protection. If a student is not comfortable using either gender’s restrooms or locker rooms, they can/should be provided a separate facility to protect themselves against bullying, abuse, etc. What is being proposed is insanity, illogical, and will result is hurt and abuse to so very many more than it would help. It will strip the rights of children, parents, caretakers, teachers, faculty, etc. and will cause chaos, pain, and an incredible amount of injustice!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These policies are designed to help children hide aspects of their lives from their parents thus breaking down trust within the family. It is the parent's role and responsibility in their child's life to help walk them through life's challenges and decisions.

No matter how you attempt to redefine it there are still only two. Just because you believe something doesn't make it true. My words are not hateful, they are factual. What is hateful is forcing others to adhere to and perpetuate a lie. Again, freedom allows for anyone to believe and to live how they choose. Forcing others to believe what you believe is tyranny. The level of complexity being proposed is a nightmare for our teachers, school administration and students to navigate. Do not force our students, teachers and administration to follow these unrealistic expectations. Sincerely, Dan - a lover of freedom and truth\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is no scientific basis for the approach being promoted here, as the purported studies being offered in its support and have been withdrawn, as they were severely flawed.

I've added my own clarifications using [brackets]: If passed in its current form, VDOE policies would allow any student, while at school, to act as a member of the opposite sex – including name change, pronouns, and the use of opposite sex bathrooms and locker rooms – without the knowledge of and permission of the student’s parents. Additionally, under these guidelines, schools will also be permitted to help a student explore, facilitate, and make decisions about his or her sexual identity while at school without the permission of the child’s parents.[This violates settled law regarding parental rights.] Additional policies proposed by the VDOE include: 1.      Failure to use a student’s new “preferred pronouns” – which can change from day to day and even defy basic rules of grammar (“ze/hir/hirs”, “they/them/their”) – would be “harassment” and “discrimination”, for which both faculty and students would be subject to disciplinary action. 2.      The definition of “Gender identity” is completely subjective to each person claiming it, hence it cannot possibly be known by anyone except that person. Since it cannot be tested or ascertained by any objective method, nothing could prevent students from constantly “changing” their “gender identity” to exploit many situations. 3.      Parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex would be at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect by the school. 4.      Schools would be prohibited from notifying parents if a biological male is using the same changing facility as their daughter that was designated for girls. 5.      All students will be allowed to use any bathroom or locker room they choose, without being questioned by any school administrator or faculty, eliminating privacy and safety of students in states of undress. 6.      Parents will not be notified that their child is being interrogated by school officials for allegedly violating these policies, nor will parents have the opportunity to intervene on their child’s behalf UNLESS the complaints are not resolved “at the school level.” [This is a clear violation of due process clause of the 5th amendment.] **Please note: All of the above proposed policies are permitted without the permission of the children’s parents. Wait a minute, aren’t parents responsible for the upbringing of their children? Yes, when it comes to raising children, parents are ultimately responsible for their children’s care and well-being. Additionally, most Americans believe that parents should have the primary responsibility of raising and educating their children and that the government should not interfere with this right except in cases of abuse and neglect. Parents assume a variety of responsibilities including providing for the child’s basic needs, ensuring the child is educated, and protecting the child from harm. This isn’t just my opinion, either. The law in Virginia clearly affirms these principles in § 1-240.1 where it clearly states that, “A parent has a fundamental right to make decisions concerning the upbringing, education, and care of the parent’s child.” Furthermore, in 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the rights of parents in Troxel v. Granville when it noted that “the liberty interest….of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized by the Court.” The Supreme Court also affirmed the natural duty of parents in Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925) when it overturned an Oregon law that prohibited parents from sending their children to private schools. The Court asserted that that the Oregon laws violated the fundamental rights of parents to direct their children’s education noting that, “The child is not the mere creature of the State; those who nurture him and direct his destiny have the right, coupled with the high duty, to recognize and prepare him for additional obligations.” There are also legal and financial responsibilities that go along with raising children. In particular, as with most states, parents in Virginia can be held legally and financially responsible for the actions of their children. For example, if a parent or guardian fails to take reasonable steps to supervise their minor children, and one of the minor children causes harm to another person or to someone’s real or personal property, then the child’s parent can be held legally and financially responsible for the actions of that child. These are called parental responsibility laws, and they have been part of our legal system for over a century. It is abundantly clear that the Commonwealth of Virginia is guilty of actively seeking to undermine parental authority by implementing rules that lie in direct contrast to the legal responsibilities of parents as recognized by the Virginia Code and the U.S. Supreme Court. What about the rights of the students who are not “transgender”? I think we can all agree on one thing – no child should be bullied for any reason. However, this doesn’t mean that kids claiming to be (or being told by adults that they are) “transgender” should be allowed to force other children to accept environments that make them feel uncomfortable, conflicted, or violated. For instance, the notion that all students must be permitted to use the bathroom of the opposite gender if they simply  “identify” as such because using the other bathroom would make them feel uncomfortable ignores the fact that this will likely cause many other students to feel equally, if not more, uneasy. [This is the correct way to interpret the 14th amendment.  The narrowly construed and twisted \"understanding\" used in the proposed VDOE policy includes holdover language from the Obama administration that was never proposed or debated in Congress and has not been subject to judicial review.] If the idea behind the new “transgender” policies in Virginia’...

It is not the job of VDOE, or the schools in the Commonwealth of Virginia, to undermine families and basic biology with such policies. Children and youth are in a process of discovering what it means to be male or female. Those are the biological options. It is not the role of schools and teachers to assist children in declaring otherwise. Children cannot perceive the effects of a decision to change or follow another gender. It is a disservice for school personnel to be involved in these matters that are under the supervision of parents. Children are still part of a family. They are not the property of the state to be used in a political manner. At the very least, school personnel should follow the wishes of parents and not usurp their role.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Gender is a social construct and someone fully being themselves is not evil or harmful to others. On the other hand bigotry and discrimination are harmful to learning. How is it that our children understand basic empathy and as adults we lose that? Science again and again has shown us that gender goes way beyond male /femal but also what does it bother anyone if someone is fullibg living their identity and experience. The true harm is is in the bigots in our schools systems and the bigoted parents teaching their children to hate. They are perpetrating lies about transgender individuals without every knowing or wanting to know anything beyond their false ideas.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I agree with the protections being placed for all students including LGBTQ and those with religious beliefs. I am opposed to allowing students to share locker rooms where privacy is not maintained, not like restrooms that have stalls in place, to whichever gender they identify themselves with.  What provisions are in place to ensure a student is making this choice because they truly do identify with the opposite gender if staff is not allowed to ask or know?  Will staff be made aware as to be able to allow the child access and what happens if a male or female decides to access the other sex locker rooms for teenage fun or mischief?  For those who don’t think tweens/teens would do such a thing should not be making policy in regards to youth. I do agree that sports should be excluded from this policy as though children with male genes should not be competing in female sports and vice versa.  Science shows the genetic make up alone makes males competing with females an unfair advantage for females. The policy as stated is a step in the right direction however it needs more work to ensure that all children are protected and have a safe learning environment and are not forced to protect one type of student over another which does nothing but divide our youth further.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They encourage moral depravity and are just one more step toward removing what is good for the sake of what is evil. There are two genders. God made each of us unique and made us male and female by HIS design. Blurring the lines and taking any other stance is perverted. Those seeking to enact these types of regulations and open the door for this kind of license are condemning themselves and our society and invoking the wrath of God for GOD will NOT be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap. These regulations are sowing discord and wickedness, and if we think we have confused children now, just wait.

The \"Lunatics\" are the members of the General Assembly who believe this bill is necessary. There is a lot of \"Feel Good\" language in this bill. Unfortunately, it is unnecessary rhetoric. Laws, policies and rules are already on the books that accomplish everything this bill proposes to do. Therefore, the time spent drafting, considering and voting on this bill is time wasted. Once again our so called \"Lawmakers\" are wasting our time and tax dollars. What really needs to be addressed is bathroom, shower room and locker room use. The idea of forcing female students (most underage) to take showers with a student who identifies as female but still have male genitalia is lunacy. Do they not have the right to not shower beside someone with a penis? The language of this bill allows for use of separate facilities at the transgender students request for privacy. What about the privacy of students who do not identify as transgender? Students who identify as one gender but are still anatomically another gender should be required to use separate facilities whenever a state of undress is part of the activity. Not allowing students with different genitalia to be naked together is simply common sense for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, common sense isn't very common anymore. Especially within our Virginia legislature. Come on Ladies and Gentlemen you can do better than this!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Protections implemented by the government are needed when a minority class are being treated as other than human.  This is one of great legacies of the US. Not to say that discrimination is any where near being stomped, but at least there are efforts coming from the top for progress.  It is my understanding that this proposal does not include rights for trans woman/girls to participate in female sports.  I fully agree with this as even before puberty, boys excel much more than females. It is an unfortunate situation, but my opinion is that not allowing transgendered girls to participate in girl’s sports is unfair based on the premises of why they are separated in the first place and has nothing to do with trans discrimination, trans phobia, and dislike/demonization/dehumanization of trans people. Some people may take it that way, but government stepping in to help underdog should  include these girls as well.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We are inadvertently teaching them that their feelings determine reality not the other way around.  With all the confusion and “special status” in identity politics it is no wonder they are struggling emotionally and doubting who they are.  They need to sort this through with the help of their parents who love them more than anyone else 24/7  and want the best long term outcome for them.  You are taking reality in real-time from teachers who cannot do their jobs without a solid base to stand on.  Imagine having to lead each day with givens such as gender changing.  When other students witness it the confusion will spread.  Please do not fold on this due to strong special interests groups.  It is not healthy for our society and culture.

No-one declares they are different than they are designated at birth for special treatment, because honestly they are always abused for it. They are asking to be treated as they have always felt themselves to be, and it has been proven in scientific studies that the brain is not always the same sex as the body is. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Sex chromosome pairs \"XX\" and \"XY\" are genetic determinants of sex, male and female, respectively.  They are not genetic markers of a disordered body or birth defect.  Human sexuality is BINARY by design with the purpose being the reproduction of our species.  This principle is self-evident. Barring one of the rare disorders of sex development (DSD), no infant is \"assigned\" a sex or gender at birth.  Sex declares itself anatomically in utero and is clearly evident and acknowledged at birth\"  - The American College of Pediatrics As a Christian, I follow scripture and uphold it as the Word of God who is the Highest Authority of this fallen world.  Deuteronomy 22:5 CLEARLY states that the differences that God created in humans is NOT to be disregarded. As infants, WE ARE NOT aware of our gender, that develops over time. We are completely derailing our children's perceptions by the world's sinful influences and relationships and adverse experiences they may have beyond their control.  I am not without sin and have my own struggles, but I am redeemed and restored by the blood of Jesus.  We must acknowledge that this is sin, in loving ways, to help restore their hearts and minds back to what their Creator intended.  I am all for unity and inclusion but within the confines of scripture.  Our response should be as Jesus would have exemplified...go share the gospel and lovingly show them the way.

Genesis 1:27 says , \"So God created man in his own image , in the image of God he created him ; male and female he created them. I believe God set forth healthy boundaries for us to live in for our good and for us to pass on to our children . He wants intimate relationship with each of us and wants to free us from the curse of sin , our own selfishness and rebellion against Him that was brought forth at the beginning of creation when Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit God had told them not to . Our union with God as represented by Adams relationship with God in the Garden was broken as Adam and Eve were deceived by Satan to eat that which God had told them not to . Since that day the curse of sin has been affecting the human race in an adverse way and bringing forth bad results . God saw that the only way to bridge this chasm of sin , that we as humans could not was to send His one and only Son Jesus to be the perfect sacrifice for our sin. Jesus came as a baby , stepping down from His royal throne and becoming fully human. He experienced all the things we do and yet He remained in perfect communion and lived a perfectly Holy life while here on earth. Epesians 2:8,9 says , \"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves , it is the gift of God - not by works , so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship , created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do . You see Jesus came not only to take the curse of sin upon himself and die in our place but also to represent what it looks like for us to be submitted to God in all his living . His will was completely submitted to His loving Heavenly Father who gave him understanding and wisdom along with unconditional love to live his life in total obedience to God . so how does that play into our lives. God wants us also to be free to live for His glory and not be bound by our own sin and selfishness. He calls us to follow after Him and deny ourselves and instead live for His glory . In choosing to follow Him and obey His Word by His Spirit we can actually live in the most glorious way possible. God has given each of us gifts and talents that He wants us to use to bless others and to be a living representation of His love to those around us . He wants us to find and live in the freedom of His Spirit rule and reign and to walk in Heavenly authority here and now. To teach children that they can be whatever they want to be is in direct opposition to what God has ordained in creating them in His own image and giving them distinct male or female genitalia. If children are confused about their correct identity , I believe the best approach to leading them is to lovingly teach and train them in how God sees them and council them in what their appropriate gender roles should be . Offering a spiritual perspective as part of their education is very much an important part of development and without it we are not doing a complete job . I believe as we bring God back into our education system and seek His wisdom we as people will again find his favor and blessing in our lives and the lives of our children and we won't see the terrible results of a generation of kids depressed , strung out on drugs and dealing with a high rate of suicide. Let us seek God's council and find that which our hearts long for .\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Gender Dysphoria should be treated as such.  It is horrible to enable such revolting and unnatural disruption in a child's life.  It is irresponsible and disgusting for adults to force such confusion on tax paying citizens and most certainly on our children.  This is not a matter of equality.  It is a matter of forced political propaganda, when we all know how it can effect the psychic of our children.  To force this on our children is child abuse.  Kids that think they are transgender need help, not to be encourage that it is acceptable. They don't need enablers that want them to believe the problem is OK.  Don't ignore those who suffer or encourage maltreatment of those affected.  You as educators need to treat this dysfunction and help these children who are afflicted with this problem.  These proposed policies do not help; they hinder and deceive, all at the expense of the children.  Our society will not stand if we continue to accept this farce of promoting the fact that we all know is not natural.  You are born a male or a female and policies are unable to physically change that fact.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These steps are essential to supporting our children as they grow into the fulfillment of themselves, giving them a supportive environment within which to explore questions about themselves and their identity.  The benefits of what is described in this Guidance Document far outweigh the potential harm, which is largely overblown and rooted in inaccurate and bigoted assumptions about gender essentialism. Moreover, these measures encourage the growth of all Virginia students, cisgender, transgender or otherwise, into responsible citizens who are able to empathize with and appreciate the innately diverse identities and experiences of others - something that is absolutely essential in our increasingly divided age. I very much wish that guidance like this had been available to me as I was growing up in Virginia schools. Learning about human diversity, especially gender diversity, from an early age would have helped me understand how beautiful the range of human expression can be, and would have lessened the \"reality check\" I received upon encountering friends and loved ones outside my personal experience. As a cisgender person, I strive to be an ally, and I think of how much unconscious harm can be caused by allowing outdated and inaccurate assumptions about \"normal\" human experience to persist.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This guidance will ensure students all across the commonwealth are afforded these basic protections and assurances which they are owed. Any suggestion that this guidance or policy violates someone’s First Amendment right to freedom of religion demonstrates a misconstruction and misunderstanding of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and the relevant jurisprudence. For example, since other commenters made note, Christian notions of “God created man and woman,” or any definition of “man” or “woman” rooted in Christianity, or in any religion, have no place in policies and decisions affecting students in public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These guidelines, based on radical theories,  eliminate all distinctions between male and female. Not only is this indoctrination based on faulty science, but the result will clearly endanger our children. The guidelines admit that defining gender identity is completely subjective, cannot be tested, or ascertained by any objective method. It is impossible to hold faculty responsible for \"preferred pronouns\" that may change at any time. Further, the guidelines seek to eliminate parental rights to protect their children by making non-disclosure to parents on sexual issues the norm. Parents will not be informed/involved: When the school helps their child explore/make a decision about sexual identity. When a biological male is using the same changing facility that is designated for girls. All students will be allowed to use any bathroom of their choice regardless of biological sexual orientation without being questioned by school staff. Parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex will be at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect by the school. These measures are dangerous to our children's health. Also, they systematically erode the understanding that parents have the primary responsibility for their children - hence should always be consulted in such an important life choice as sexual identity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If so this will have a bad affect on the confidence we have in the public school system.  I oppose this policy because transgender ideas are based on objective feelings rather than the objective truth of the nature of the sexes of male and female.  It therefore harms the true identity of the person by encouraging them to explore who they wish to be rather than who they truly are by nature.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are already sufficient laws and policies for this. I DO NOT believe schools or staff should facilitate students request for trans treatment, pronouns, etc - unless the student's parents first give the school permission to do so. Parents must be aware and support any student's desire for such affirmation before school staff do so. I HOPE schools truly support this proposed language below if these policies unfortunately end up being approved: \"Upon request, single-user, gender-inclusive facilities or other reasonable alternatives shall be made available to any student who seeks privacy. Any options offered shall be non- stigmatizing and minimize lost instructional time. \" And so -  every cisgender student that wants a private place to shower or dress -  must be given that privacy every time requested !!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

How dare you teach such radical ideas without informing the parents?. How dare you teach a pop ideology that is based on popular opinion, psychology and feelings as hard science? Your policies also drive a wedge between parents and their child if the parents do not agree with the child's wish to have a new name and pronoun. The will of the child is absolute and the parents shall not interfere with the child's wishes. If they do so, it is child abuse and Child Protective Services and/or lawyers will be called. That is a little draconian, isn't it?  Your policies take away the loving support and understanding of parents when they are needed most. It is the parents' responsibility to guide their child to maturity, not a school which has limited knowledge and exposure to the child and is basing its judgment solely on the child's reports. In addition, allowing a child who is biologically male but feels that he is female into a girls' locker room can be excruciatingly embarrassing for the girls. From personal experience, as a girl in high school who not only was in PE classes but also played sports, I hated undressing in the locker room in front of other girls. I can't imagine what I would have done if there had been a boy in that room. Please do not put girls (or boys if the situation is flipped) in that situation. High school is hard enough to get through without the added burden of dealing with that.  Be as sensitive to the cisgendered as you are to the transgendered. These policies set up the school to act as a therapist for which it is not qualified. It does not have the authority or competence to determine the treatment plan for a child with regard to the issue of gender confusion. A school's sole responsibility is to provide a quality education in a safe environment for ALL its students.  Period. Please DO NOT implement your Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia's Public Schools. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a mom of trans-high schooler, we had to pull our child out of Arlington public high schools because of the anguish caused by Arlington county policies. For instance, there is only one bathroom that is available for gender nonconforming youth that do not wish to use either the designated girls or bits rooms. In a school of 2500 students! That restroom is in the nurses office where multiple times my child was denied the ability to use the designated bathroom because it was for sick people only. Often the nurse was not there and a person ill informed would be there and would deny entry. This happened multiple times. arlington and the rest of Virginia needs to stop being afraid and step up to support tranS and gender nonconforming youth. They are just kids. Like any other kid.

To me, this is akin to trying to teach ethics.  If you are not brought up in an environment where ethical behavior is walked and talked, someone is not going to be able to teach it to you later in life.  You may teach the boundaries of what is ethical but it will not be something innate in the behavior of the person.  Don't call it ethics, call it rules.  That's what it becomes when you have to teach it.  The same holds true for teaching someone how to treat others.  If someone is hurtful or cruel to another person, that should be addressed for whatever reason but it is not the school's job to help a child figure out their identity.   I am STRONGLY opposed to the schools teaching any of this to elementary and middle school aged children.  Provide access to private bathrooms for those people who find it difficult to go to a bathroom with others of their own physical gender.  Despite how they identify, my children don't need to be a party to someone else's confusion regarding their identity.  Some kids identify as gangsters and killers...do you plan to write a special document to indoctrinate my child into that community too?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Creating a safe and welcoming school environment for all students provides for a better personal, social and educational experience. In addition to improved quality of life, this leads to improved short- and long-term outcomes, ranging from higher levels of productivity in society and a decreased burden on mental health care.

They were targeted, verbally, by students, and did not get the support they needed from the Administration or staff. I believe it is essential for school to be a safe place for all students -- physically and emotionally. They need to know they are valued and protected.

This guidance document is a critical component in our responsibility in supporting the mental and physical health and well-being of children and youth, and their families and communities, across Virginia. As the document states, \"The key guiding principle of the model policies is that all children have a right to learn, free from discrimination and harassment.\" The guidance is specific yet flexible to accommodate the diversity of school contexts, and touches on key facets of student experience that must be supported in all contexts: bullying, harassment, and discrimination; student privacy/confidentiality; student identification; school records; dress code; and access to activities and facilities. The document also contains a number of helpful resources, definitions and connections to relevant federal and state policies and regulations. Developed by a representative group of students, parents, education staff, specialists, advocacy organizations and state agencies, this document is a thoughtful and inspiring model of where we should be going as a state and as a nation. It makes me proud to be a Virginian, and I deeply encourage the Virginia General Assembly to adopt these protections for transgender students in the public school system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I definitely do NOT support any of this. Have you lost your minds? Honestly. To allow all genders to use the same bathrooms and locker rooms? That could become a MAJOR problem especially for girls. Are you trying to have innocent kids touched and harmed? Because that’s exactly what is going to happen especially with the whole girls can go topless in sports that boys do. NO! This is not okay and shouldn’t even be an option honestly. This whole thing disgusts me on soooo many levels. You’re also insulting peoples religions and beliefs with this might I add. Not everyone believes in multiple genders , some people believe in the original and only , two. Male and female. I surely hope America wakes up soon because this is far from okay and I be damned as a parent if my children will attend school if this gets put into place. Whoever came up with this is just a very sick person who needs to be checked mentally.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I really believe this is not addressing the underlying problem, which is a lack of God in people's lives. I will point out some of the more obvious problems here. For one, parents are kept in the dark as far as their child's choices regarding their God-given gender. Parents have a right to know what their child is going through. For these children, having a parent who loves and cares for them, and who can help them navigate through this confusing time in their life, can make the difference between life and death. Not all parents will evict their child from their home, as this document suggests. If this is a concern, let's help the parents who are struggling with acceptance. Not keep them isolated. \"Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence. School staff shall, at the request of a student or parent, address the student using the asserted name and pronoun that correspond to their gender identity.\" (p 13) Even more disturbing, as the paragraph above from page 13 states, a parent is allowed to label their child as the opposite sex, to the detriment of the child. The teachers and staff at the school can do nothing to support the child. Even if this label the parents have chosen is child abuse (which I believe it is), the teacher/staff can do nothing to stop this abuse. If you see a little boy who is 6 years old start being dressed as a girl, and he obviously is anxious and having problems, would you just ignore it? Teachers are there to teach, and to teach the truth. Teaching and supporting this lie goes against the love that teachers should have. These are just some of my views, and reasons why I oppose this.

They should not and cannot be left to the whims of those who claim that they, or their God, are somehow harmed by the happiness and individual medical decision-making of another. They endure enough psychological trauma existing next to bigots, they deserve an educational plan that writes bigotry out of their bathrooms and locker rooms.

I am not arguing against finding a method for inclusion, however, I am unsettled by more than one area in these draft policies and recommendations.  They are in need of correction. In more than one area these policies are attempting to seize the legal and moral responsibility of parents and substitute the school staff/faculty in that role.  As any father or parent, I am responsible for my child’s development, physically, mentally, and spiritually.  By sending our children to school, we are entrusting some of this development to the system/faculty.  With that said, while relying on schools for educational development, parents are better suited for this innate responsibility to nurture our children in their overall and continuous development.  Even if staff to faculty ratio were 1:1 throughout K-12 and children were getting individualized attention as at home, as currently written, information withheld from parents relating to their choices, development, and/or the safety of their learning environment is an overreach and doing a disservice to each child. Specifically, 1) there are no regulations requiring school staff to notify parents of a student’s request to affirm their gender/identity (Recommended Standard, p.12) and 2) in the draft policy (p.12) schools would be prohibited from notifying parents if a biological male is using the same changing facility as their daughter that was designated for girls. This doesn’t do enough to take into consideration the overwhelming majority of the student population and the potential abuses of these broad based policy changes (likely not by the transgender community).  The no questions asked policy lacks any enforcement to provide a private/safe place for other populations (Recommended Standard on page 18 - \"school staff should not confront students about their identity upon entering into the restroom\").  Where these policies are intending to provide a safer environment for the transgender community, I couldn’t live with myself if my daughter was allowed to be put into a compromising situation where someone was taking advantage of these changes nefariously. As written, I would seek alternatives instead of sending my children to public school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Left, Right, Center views are completely irrelevant to this because Child Protection Services ( or C.P.S) already exists if you would like to change expand or integrate in a different or more effect manner great let's start a discussion on the subject, to start that change and move forward but do not allow the education system to decide how or what you should or should not teach or tell your children as what is right or wrong to believe as it will be used against anyone that disagrees with the VDOE or as a political weapon against minorities or political enemies. Any parent/parents with emotional, ethical and moral maturity mindset know that their knowledge of what is best for their child, IS What is best for their child! Transgender, blue, yellow, up, down, gay or straight is unimportant, you as the parent of your child, know more about what is best for your child, then any teacher does so because of this you should never have your child taken away from you, because some teacher or principal decided they know more about what is best for your child then you do. The implementation and execution of the Spirit of this proposal is criminally negligent and incompetent with the room for abuse and corruption it will cause along with the blatant grab for social and or political power it is because of the established existence of C.P.S. This proposal should have been a call to change and expand the mission profile of the C.P.S. not to give the education system of Virginia the ability and authority to make changes to law and order under the lie that it is for the protection and betterment of the children. So in closing this proposal of HR 145 and SB 161 should be rejected immediately and be extensively rewritten, to include a section on the expansion, support and integration of the C.P.S into a more active role in our education system and communities of the state of Virginia as a whole with the full and active support from VDOE in all aspects of the problems and challenges that we will face in the coming years. Thank you for your time Sincerely A concerned American\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I do no support Virginia's unwise elevation of any times of childhood gender confusion. It is not uncommon for young people to go through a time of self doubt about their sexuality. This is a time of changing hormones and physical body changes and is no time for the school to mandate that the child in question have to make a decision on bathroom choice or put other youth in that uncomfortable position. This will prove to only put the student in question into a situation that they be stigmatized and possibly injured for life. We all remember those kids being labeled as brains, jocks or in other situation even more hurtful names and designations. This policy will only elevate that situation, not lower it or protect it from the whole student bodies' involvement. I believe that a youth should be quietly guided through these times by friends, family, medical or faith councilors or other other trusted adult leaders until the youth has become and adult and can make decisions for their future without the mass influence of a whole school. Their dignity should be preserved and not labeled by a new sexual designation that they are not mature enough to fully understand. The bottom line here is we all remember the difficult days of our youth and public education, many have scars and regrets from those days. Let's not do more harm to a generation of youth that have already seen great challenges. REMEMBER SCHOOLS ARE HERE TO ONLY EDUCATE CHILDREN!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We should be teaching and raising our kids to treat students as humans regardless of any of these other factors. There should be no more division that separates us from the fact that were all people. This bill perpetuates further division. Absolutely absurd. And the fact that there is a proposed bill supporting transgender students isn't the worst part. The WORST part is that there are transgender students at all. Quit pacifying political correctness and stand up for what is right. Teaching and treating everyone as the humans they are is right. Dividing us further into more subcategories will lead us straight into communism. I can't imagine many parents in VA will be keeping their children in public schools much longer you all keep going down this road.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These suggested guidelines pervert children emotionally, mentally, physically, socially and spiritually. Virginia already has a good anti-bullying law. Teachers who love their subjects and the children they teach should not have to submit to the whims of a child who one day think they are one gender and the next day another gender or no gender at all.  Allow them to do what they are trained to do without fear because they forgot to refer to a child by the child's selected gender.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These guidelines address common issues regarding transgender students in accordance with evidence-based best practices and include information, guidance, procedures, and standards relating to: compliance with applicable nondiscrimination laws; maintenance of a safe and supportive learning environment free from discrimination and harassment for all students; prevention of and response to bullying and harassment; maintenance of student records; identification of students;  protection of student privacy and the confidentiality of sensitive information; enforcement of sex-based dress codes; and student participation in sex-specific school activities, events, and use of school facilities.\n\n---\n\n## Public Comment\nComment ID: 93437\nTitle: Fully support\nBody:\nI fully support these necessary measures as a means to provide overdue protections for our trans students. Legislation to protect vulnerable groups is absolutely imperative and these guidelines are offering options and choices, not \"indoctrination\". Children must be safe in school to access learning and trans students unfortunately still have an undeniable set of ingrained hindrances they must navigate through daily. I can only guess that those opposing these measures don't know a single person navigating these daily struggles. Trans students are a tiny minority just as deserving of safety and security as the rest of the majority. To those opposed on the basis of curriculum, I encourage you to read the guidelines in full. This legislation is not about curriculum (p.20- local school boards should consider ... ensuring LGBTQ-inclusive curricula... to include contributions of LGBTQ+ people in state and US history curricula.) The schools are not out to teach your children to adopt a different gender identity or sexual orientation. Furthermore, from those of us that live with, love and affirm the cherished LGBTQ+ people in our lives, we'd resoundingly say these are not traits that are taught. They are, however, traits that are shoved to the corners by default and closed-mindedness. This legislation simply provides guidelines for our schools' ability to respect within our community any trans child's rights to privacy, daily function and support. All our children — trans or cisgendered — will benefit when our policies promote individual respect, value in diversity and prevention of oppression. This is supporting basic humanity, not governmental overreach.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Every student deserves to attend school without fear of being bullied, harassed, or discriminated against by other students (or teachers.) Students need to feel accepted and to feel free to engage in learning within a community dedicated to education within a safe environment for all.  Schools help students become better citizens and the proposed rule will enhance Virginia schools by creating a more effective learning environment for transgender and nonbinary students; this, in turn, creates a better learning environment for all. GLSEN's 2019 National School Climate Survey reveals that transgender and nonbinary students feel less safe at school and miss school more often because of feeling unsafe compared to their cisgender peers.  We need to make sure this stops happening. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Schools already have anti-bullying policies to keep children safe and punish wrong-doers. 2. Issues of gender should be taught by parents and families, not teachers and school bureaucrats. 3. Schools should be focused on giving children the education they will need for their futures, not \"social engineering.\" 4. These sweeping proposals offer no protections for those who disagree on religious or conscience grounds. 5. Giving males access to female bathrooms and locker rooms is putting our girls at risk. With the Democrats already pushing to reduce school police officers in schools, this will make our schools more dangerous. 6. Issues of this scope should be handled at the local level, with input from local school boards and parents, not imposed from Richmond.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is broad agreement that every single child—including and especially those struggling with their sexual identity—should be protected from harm, bullying and harassment. Currently, Virginia has a strong anti-bullying law and well-established anti-bullying policies. Despite those strong protections, the proposed Model School Transgender Guidelines stretch well beyond prevention of harm and crosses the line into mandatory promotion of viewpoints that will be impossible to implement. Given the growing body of scholarship that makes clear the majority of children outgrow gender dysphoria/confusion by the time they reach puberty, it’s improper to impose policies that will contribute to more gender confusion and ultimately cause long-term damage to children who are still developing. (See statements about most kids outgrowing gender confusion in this Psychology Today article , as well as in this study and this one .) Unfortunately, these draft policies were developed without input from professionals, clinicians and stakeholders who recognize the natural distinctions between biological males and females.  Thus, these guidelines present a biased viewpoint that is void of any clinical and sociological data that demonstrates the harms of policies that promote transgenderism. These proposed model policies also create a number of issues and contradictions that will make it difficult for administrators and local school divisions to administer and enforce them in any logical or coherent way. Below are several examples. 1. The guidelines propose a definition of “gender identity” that is purely subjective that does not require any formal evidence, making compliance with such policies impossible. “Gender Identity: A person’s internal sense of their own identity as a boy/man, girl/woman, something in between, or outside the male/female binary. Gender identity is an innate part of a person’s identity and can be the same or different from the sex assigned at birth.” (Definitions, p.6) “A student is considered transgender if, at school, the student consistently asserts a gender identity different from the sex assigned at birth… it does not necessarily require any substantiating evidence nor any required minimum duration of expressed gender identity ...” (Recommended Standard, p.12) The definition of “Gender identity” is completely subjective to each person claiming it, hence it cannot possibly be known by anyone except that person. Since it cannot be tested or ascertained by any objective method, nothing could prevent any student from constantly “changing” their “gender identity” to exploit many situations. A student who claims it’s innate in them to be “gender fluid” could exhibit qualities of either sex at any particular moment in time.  As a consequence, a biological male who claims to be “gender fluid” could attempt to use the female restroom one week and the male restroom (the bathroom that aligns with his biological sex) the next week, without having to show any documentation or “proof” of any change. While the commentary of the draft guidelines states that changing one’s gender “should involve more than a casual declaration of gender identity,” it also adds that there is NO “required minimum duration of expressed gender identity.”  This will allow students to claim to be either a biological male or female (or both, neither, or something else entirely) for any duration of time, without providing any supporting evidence to a teacher or administrator, making it impossible for teachers to comply with these policies. 2. Policies that permit a student to change his or her gender without any documentation for any duration of time will make it impossible for faculty to use the student’s “preferred pronouns,” putting faculty at risk of disciplinary action. “Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence.” (Draft Policy, p.13) “For transgender students, acts of verbal harassment may include the intentional and persistent use of names and pronouns not consistent with their identity.” (Recommended Standard, p.10) “Complaints alleging discrimination, harassment, or bullying based on a student’s actual or perceived transgender status shall be handled in the same manner as other discrimination or harassment complaints.” (Draft Policy, p.10) Failure to use a student’s new “preferred pronouns” – which can change from day to day – would be “harassment” and “discrimination,” for which both faculty and students would be subject to disciplinary action. These policies, as drafted, make it impossible for any student or faculty to comply with them.  For example, if a student is permitted to frequently “change” their gender, without any substantiating documentation for any duration of time (as outlined above), teachers and administrators will be unaware of a student’s “preferred pronouns” on a weekly, daily, or even hourly basis. (e.g. Is this not inherent within the concept of “gender fluid” students, which the Guidelines reference?) These policies are also void of any religious exceptions or accommodations for faculty and students who believe using pronouns and other speech would violate their religious identity, conscience, or their most basic understanding of biology and sociology.  A policy that fosters pervasive promotion of a one-sided, politicized transgender agenda throughout the school actually creates a hostile environment for students, faculty, and families with deeply held, faith-based convictions. A likely consequence of these forced pronoun used and compelled speech will be that good, qualified teachers will leave the public schools to teach elsewhere. 3. These policies grossly undermine parenta... [truncated]\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I think the concern with bathrooms may be valid in some cases , and if it helps those concerned, a promise to keep a close eye on the bathrooms could be beneficial. However it is more important to recognize the harm that comes from forcing a developing child who may be going through a difficult time to use a bathroom they are not comfortable with. My brother is a trans adult and had a very tumultuous time in middle thru high school due to bullying, cliques and toxic behavior. I beg you to think about the developing minds of these kids and what is best for them to feel peace at mind and social safety in the classroom.

This Guidance Document provides gender-expansive and transgender youth with the support and rights that they deserve. Additionally, this document provides school divisions with guidance to create a caring and supportive school environment for all students. Members of the LGBTQIA+ community face disproportionate challenges in schools. They are more likely to; be bullied, be sexually harassed, experience depressive symptoms, be victims of emotional abuse by dating partners, and seriously consider suicide. This guidance ensures that all students are treated equitably and with dignity while attending school. As school divisions, when we respect a student's request to use their chosen name and identified pronouns, we potentially decrease the likelihood that they will experience thoughts of suicide and/or attempt suicide. The information provided in this document provides schools with guidance that supports student mental health and wellness.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It's okay to protect deviants. It is not okay to encourage deviance in children who are far from reaching adult consciousness. It is not okay to penalize teachers with your woke . This is not California where they have used sex education to brainwash children, roll out drag queens  to play with children, and more. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that elected and appointed officials are being bribed, blackmailed, and/or brainwashed and no longer represent the public interest -- nor are the elections honest, they are rigged. This document tells me that every one of you should be investigated.  Your social and professional contacts should be studied, your bank accounts and spending examined, and an official investigation should take place with respect to who is making this crap come into being. Virginia is two thirds red-blooded patriot Americans and one third carpet baggers.  I am pretty sure Gade beat Warner with 57% of the vote but the carpetbaggers controlled the  electronic fraud and related methods (https://unrig.net is instructive). I am waiting for April to make a decision on whether I move to Texas.  Between your lockdown and mask and potential mandatory vaccinations, and now this, Virginia has become a place to live and work. You are destroying the family and the community with this crap.  Stop it, please.  I will say no more on this matter and mean you no ill will, but if this kind of thing keeps coming out of your offices then I and my two businesses and family will leave Virginia.

Many good teachers may be lost because of this. Most of those teachers truly love their students and want nothing but the absolute best for them. Regardless of my faith, as a mother, I would fear to send my children to the public school system under these policies. Allowing students to choose whichever locker room they want to use or girls to swim topless is absurd. Students do not understand the potential consequences of these decisions. We should be protecting our children not exposing them to potential harm. Also, as a parent I would want to know what is going on with my child at school. I would love and care for my child regardless of their gender decisions and how I feel about them. Not allowing the very people who have the responsibility of raising and caring for these children to be kept in the loop about their child's gender decisions is wrong. By all means, please protect children from parents who are abusing them, but parents and children will have disagreements, and that is not going to hurt them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This includes children in our schools. Refusing to treat this community with respect and refusing to grant them basic human rights condemns them to facing trauma and hardship no child should have to experience. As a future educator, I will never stop advocating for every single student's rights; however, without legal safeguards such as this, teachers can only give so much protection for our students. I implore our representatives to do their duty to fullest extent and ensure protection for transgender children in our schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents have the right to direct the upbringing of their child and as many scholars agree that to weaken that right would severely weaken American families. The erosion of the family contributes to many of the problems that we have in society today. That being said, discrimination in any form is unacceptable and it can occur in many fashions outside of what these guidelines are attempting to establish. Discrimination occurs on things that you cannot help or cannot change, if you can define your \"gender\" then it erodes many of the protections and rights put in place to protect that class of people. By definition gender identity can change and thus supports that it is a choice. I can't choose the color of my skin. I can do skin grafts  or apply makeup to lighten or darken it, but it is genetically set. Our schools should be focused on educating students on science, math, writing, history and not wasting time and resources on things that go against those core goals. The state isn't allowed to force a certain religion upon students and while this is a choice it is a also a distinct right guaranteed under the US constitution's first amendment. The science of the matter is that we are either genetically XX or XY, that is what determines our gender and is the underlying function within our bodies that dictates our sex. Under extremely rare circumstance a genotypic XY individual has a faulty SRY gene which results in the body developing like an XX phenotype. It has also been proven through science that the brains development for most people is not complete until around the age of 25 so to push and encourage children who are not fully developed (and not an adult as well), puts them at risk for other mental health issues later down the road. Being a child/teen is difficult enough with everything going on. Our schools should not be making things more complex nor should they be hiding data from parents or pushing controversial policies without parents consent. Students struggling with the issues these policies promote are not looked out for in the long run, the policies seek to put adult decision making on a brain that is not developed nor have enough wisdom and life experience to make an educated decision after considering every factor possible. It is my hope that the state will look into other avenues to support students who struggle with gender identity, but it should not include stripping other students of basic rights and making them feel uncomfortable as well. Nobody wins in this situation where these policies are pushed down upon schools and students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My beautiful kid is now in 4th grade. She transitioned when she was 7 and started 3rd grade under her new name and gender. Our school was very understanding and helpful and all the parents and kids were very supportive. There was however a big issue that came up as the school began. Her Legal name showing up on all her assignments and school portals. She felt betrayed and thought this was so wrong to have her old name in her face everyday and for other kids to see it even though she was now known and accepted under her new name. Last summer when our school counselor called us and announced that she was going to be able to have her real new name on all school related material we were over the moon. It may seem like nothing for most of us but for an 8 year old kid a name means almost everything. Without the support of House Bill 145 and Senate Bill 161 , this would still be an issue where my daughter would need to explain herself to every new kid she meets and subject to name calling and bullying at school. No one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against in their school, which is a place where they are supposed to be able to learn and be a part of a community that accepts them for who they are. Schools teach students how to succeed but they also teach students how to treat each other. This proposed rule will make Virginia schools a better place to learn for transgender and non-binary students, which creates a better learning environment for all.  Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students. Thank you!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is a very dangerous mandate that would put children at risk for molestation ( girls in boys bathrooms/locker rooms etc.) This would also illicit more bullying and the school system is not the place for displaying this type of activity. Children are not adults and should be protected from potential harm from themselves and other students. Please keep the educational system about education and leave these topics out. Thank you, Dana Potter\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I am also concerned about the dismissal of the valid concerns of a majority of students for privacy in the state's attempt to make all students comfortable. Allowing transgender youth access to their bathroom or locker room of choice does not solve their discomfort with their own bodies, nor does it alleviate their sense of alienation or otherness. It's a politically expedient move to place the desires of the minority over the privacy of the majority. Surely we can provide supports for transgender youth that don't put the rights and privacy of every non-transgender youth in jeopardy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

All students – which includes transgender children – are entitled to a safe and supportive school environment. I think that if those who oppose these policies would read the scientific, medical, and psychological research about transgenderism or if they knew transgender students or adults, they would no longer oppose these policies. I agree that “the school environment must be set up so that transgender girls are treated like all other girls and transgender boys like all other boys. For many people, particularly adults, that notion challenges societal assumptions about the immutability of gender, so implementing these supports can seem daunting. But experience has shown that supporting these students is not only possible, but creates a safer and more inclusive environment for all students” (from Schools In Transition A Guide for Supporting Transgender Students in K-12 Schools).\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a parent of two children in the public school system, I am strongly opposed to allowing a school to participate or lead a child to question the gender of that child.  The school does not have the resources, nor the legal right to to infringe upon the moral and religious beliefs of a family. Furthermore, this will cause confusion among the children and staff in a school system.  It seems this rule is creating an ever-changing situation of what a child is allowed to decide for themselves during critical years of development.  Why is it illegal for children to smoke and drink, and then allow minors to choose a gender different from their biological sex?  This can cause permanent physical and pyschological harm to the child.  Why would it be ok to encourage a child to live one life at school and another life at home?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Students, regardless of age, should always feel safe and secure in their schools. For some students, school is a safer space than home. The high number of transgender deaths and suicides is absolutely horrendous. The least we can do as human beings is treat everyone with respect, understanding, love, and support for ALL.

Our children are already hyper-sexualized at an early age and introducing the proposed policies and procedures is harmful. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RAISING OUR CHILDREN, and public school is NOT a forum for social experimentation. An absence from bullying and respect for all—regardless of race, ethnicity, etc.—is expected WITHOUT the need to establish policy and procedures for any possible special interest group. Your policy would allow the school to WITHHOLD FROM PARENTS information concerning the behavior of our children when away from our care. Public school is not a sanctuary for aberrant behavior. I’m ashamed our school board would even consider such a proposal.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

And when I was bullied, there was basically nothing I could do because I was not open with my family and I found nothing at my schools. please ensure that along with these institutional efforts, you stay connected with community organizations, like Side by Side or Health Brigade in Richmond. Group gatherings of trans youth and proper health care are such important fundamentals to our well-being.

I am an educator who works focused on trauma awareness and resilience. With those priorities in mind, I support the implementation of these policies so that school is a supportive, not a traumagenic – or potentially traumatic – environment for any student. School is for learning, growing, and building identity, even though too many people have experienced it as a space that requires hiding their identities. Learning and growing are supported by physical and emotional safety. Access to learning, to participating in activities, to expressing oneself, to being part of something and also standing apart when desired…would ideally be essential and expected parts of a loving, respectful school environment. Trans, genderqueer and nonbinary students deserve respect, freedom from bullying and harassment, physical and emotional safety, and access. I support moving schools away from hate and fear, toward loving embrace of and care for all bodies and gender identities.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, as our country becomes more advanced technologically, we are becoming more backward and confused when it comes to basic knowledge. Now we have people who deny gender, gender differences, and deny the differences between male and female. And now they are pushing this on our children in our schools. If you went to any third-world country, even into the poorest neighborhoods and asked adults how many sons or daughters, grandsons or granddaughters they had, they could tell you. We need to think about our offspring and descendants, and give them true values and correct basic knowledge, not confusion.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These new policies set a dangerous precedent for limiting parents' rights.  I am very concerned about the valid concerns of the majority of students' safety and privacy in the state's attempt to make all students comfortable.  Allowing transgender youth access to their choice of bathroom/locker room does not solve their discomfort with their own bodies.  It is merely a political move to place the desire of the minority over the privacy of the majority.  Certainly our lawmakers can come together to provide support of transgender youth that don't put the rights and privacy of every non-transgender student in jeopardy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Homosexuality is a sin, but transgender isn’t as clear cut, although Deuteronomy 22:5 and 1 Corinthians 11:14 discuss gender expression with some prohibitions. God has selected and given to each person, even before conception, a unique identity and design. A significant component is our gender. To deny this gift and be someone different would be denying God’s will, and that would be a sin. God designed male and female differently, and these unique and intentional distinctions should be maintained while guarding against the blurring or fusion of gender roles. With this said, we should recognize the attacks of sin on mankind (genetic mutations), as well as Satan’s attacks during gestation on the unborn child’s development. Although rare, genetic sex and physical development can be mismatched or unclear, and we want to make sure we are not judging a person’s situation with wrong assumptions or incomplete data. If their transgender pursuits are not from these biological/physiological in-utero attacks and actually come from post birth attacks, we need to recognize that the transgender individual is, like all of us, a wounded person needing to find their true identity in Christ.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

For both, when used in combination, they result in infertility.   Is this really the direction the school district wishes to go?   Multiple lawsuits will be filed down the road by angry young adults who were seriously misled by gullible adults.

VADOE is tasked with reaching and teaching every single student in the commonwealth. Students who aren't afforded the opportunities to be their best selves are more likely to become mired in the trauma of trying to fit into boxes which weren't made for them and less likely to engage in opportunities that can help them create their own versions of successful lives. When I was in school there was huge opposition to allowing pathways for sexual harassment in workplaces and more loud protests about the inconveniences of such legislation. Today we know how much these laws have increased safety in the workplace. Giving trans people the opportunities to become their best selves and not have to fight for basic rights every step will create new levels of safety in our schools that will ultimately benefit us all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The penalties for calling someone the R-word or N-word are not as stiff as a child calling a transgender person but the wrong pronoun.  If you are making a sweeping change, make it consistent to include, gender, race, and disability. Second the following language, \" it will require faculty and students to call a student by their “preferred pronoun.” Failure to do so will be considered harassment, and both students and faculty will face disciplinary action.\" My question is faculty, ok., but students? Is there an exemption for students under a certain age? This legislation assumes that parents have explained this to their children Some may have, but most have not! What is the disciplinary action? In terms of bathroom, each school should be required to have a gender-neutral bathroom so as to minimize the harassment and teasing that will happen.  The other non-trans students may not be comfortable.  This legislation does not see both sides.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have a child who attends a public school and am not in favor of this at all. Not only does this take rights from parents, it also snubs those who have MORALS and  who want to continue to uphold standards that our country was founded on many years ago. We have laid down and let the far left dictate what rights we have as not only Christians but just human beings who have a set of morals that we should be standing by. You were born as a male or female....THERE IS NO CONFUSION WHEN THE DOCTOR MAKES THAT ANNOUNCEMENT. Why are we letting perverted people have the right to do whatever they want, play on a sports team that is not their born gender, go into a bathroom that is not their birth gender and on and on it goes. The evil that lies in this kind of thinking and actions goes against every civil right those with MORALS have. That is what is missing in this world....MORALS. United States needs to fall back on the principles our country was founded on and thrived on for soooooo many years. This perverted evilness will land us in a very bad place.

This is undermining the role of a parent in parenting their children. What about the children who are not transgender? Are they just left with no supports at all? Transgender  children would go through this very trying, confusing, and life altering time without their parents knowledge??? This is completely evil and the department of education is crossing SERIOUS BOUNDARIES as they step into the role of a parent rather than educator! Furthermore, this would place more vulnerable children into a government system that is already beyond its limits with children needing homes! The VDOE needs to STAY IN THEIR LANE!!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

They are designed to protect students but unfortunately not all students will be protected.  Many, probably most students, will actually be offended or put at risk of significant emotional and even physical harm.  This is particularly the case with not having boundaries for bathrooms and locker rooms.  I find it absurd in this age of the \"Me Too\" movement to do anything that would increase chances of girls being victimized. Knowing that brains, especially the prefrontal cortex, do not fully develop until the 20's, I am at a loss to understand why we are allowing children to make decisions of such import, especially without the guidance of parents.  This seems to be one more instance of government diminishing the rights of parents. If there is no evidence required to prove that a student is transgender, how can we trust that each student's claim is real?  It is not uncommon for children and youth to make impulsive and not well thought through decisions on a regular basis.  Many children have been taught that they have the right to make decisions based on how they feel and on the desire for instant gratification.  They fail to take into account how other people and even society will be affected, even harmed, by their selfish choices.  Back to brain development and critical thinking skills, many youth lack linear sequential thinking skills which keep them in instant gratification mode their whole lives.  This is a major cause of instability and chaos in personal life and in society.  If we encourage this in our students, what will the outcome be for society? Many children and youth simply cannot imagine what the results of decisions around gender identity might be in the long term for them.  It should not rest on schools to provide support and encouragement for this processing.  This requires highly skilled professionals who specialize in this area.  We dare not do more harm than good by pretending that the average school staff member knows best in this area.  Again, parents should be leading their children through this. It is known that the majority of children and youth who choose a different gender identity than their biological identity, revert back to their biological identity by adulthood.  It is also true that many who question their gender identity have other issues in their lives which need the compassionate expertise of professionals.  We should not encourage exploration of something which can actually cause more harm rather than the healing that is needed.  Depression, anxiety and suicide rates are comparable in those who are supported in gender transitioning as in those who stay with their biological gender.  We need to take this into consideration as we decide how to best support our children and youth. If these policies are put into effect, I will withdrawal my daughter from public school in order to protect her from the harm that I anticipate will result.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Fully support!\nBody:\nGender identity should not be a barrier to quality education and a safe school environment. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs shows is that students cannot learn if they do not feel comfortable and safe. Public schools are tasked with providing quality education and this cannot be done if systems are in place that do not protect some students. Transgender students deserve to feel comfortable at school just as much as other students. As we have seen through civil rights movements of the past, the true change in culture needs legislative backing. I fully support this legislation as a Virginia Educator.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

In fact, Fairfax County Public Schools have provided a wonderful environment for my children. However I believe these mandates go too far and could potentially make school a less comfortable place for young women in particular, while taking parental guidance away from parents. There are lots of ways the department of education can ensure safety and support for transgender children without enacting policies that are this extreme.

Many studies, doctors, and child psychologists agree that children are not capable of determining their gender based on how they \"feel\", nor should be encouraged to do so. The repercussions are detrimental to a child's mental and emotional state. Now the county has made this everyone’s problem. This is not fair for tax-paying county residents. You all state the statistical facts yourselves about children with gender identity issues having depression etc. This is not because it isn’t an accepted practice at school. It is because they are coping with something they can’t deal with on their own and need private parental and therapeutic help to understand who they are. Please support what is healthiest for all our children. I know families are going through a lot with children that deal with this challenge, but we need to also consider how other families feel and what other children experience in the classroom. Consider the distractions in the classroom with other children and also bullying to children that are dealing with changing their gender identity. Consider that sexual abuse that could occur in the schools and the damage and loss of protections for all students. Please allow families to deal with these personal issues at home and leave it out of the public schools system to protect children with and without gender identity needs.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They are solely seeking to support children in their gender expression in order to mitigate mental health impacts and social risks. Suicidal ideation rates are astronomical among LGBTQ+ youth - these policy amendments serve to create a more supportive environments for an overwhelmingly at-risk group. These policies do not force transgenderism upon anyone. They simply want to accept children and keep them safe. To those espousing religious ideology in this forum, please remember that there is supposed to be a division of church and state in this country. Schools do not exist to teach tenets of any one religion - they are there to teach children about the world. Please turn to your own congregations for religious teachings and remember that Jesus loved and accepted everyone. Do to others as you would have them do to you.

Accommodations for transgenders to utilize the same restrooms and locker rooms should not be allowed and it laces other children and teens at risk.   In the draft, the use of gender neutral pronouns will do nothing to improve our education system and will lead to disruption and confusion on many levels.   As indicated the preference can change from day to day or week to week. Children/teens navigating this issue need professional counseling on a level far greater than administrators, teachers and staff than what they are qualified to provide.  This will add addition strain on our already stressed educational personnel as well as enhance the issues facing these children and is harmful to them, the family, the community and society. Parents hold this responsibility to being up their children. This should NEVER be transferred to the educational systems. Regarding the issue of attire: all individuals should be clothed appropriately. Specifically fully clothed. This piece\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Please take the time and READ! https://townhall.virginia.gov/l/GetFile.cfm?File=C: \\TownHall\\docroot\\Guidan Schools already have bullying and harassment policies. This policy goes much further and digs into rights of other students and parents. Just read it! How would you like your 6th grade daughter exposed to a biological boy (and vice versa) in the locker room? What are the schools going to do to protect girls in the bathroom when a boy says he's a girl one day (with ill intent) and uses your daughters bathroom- remember, there are no questions asked - that leaves the door WIDE open for harassment for our daughters.  MOST parents are not talking  to their children about these topics until in their teens, yet you want to make them \"woke\" in elementary school and they will be disciplined if they use the wrong pro-noun??? This is insane.  Our children need to focus on their ABC's! You barely have time to prep them for SOL's and now you are going to have to keep teach the to be \"woke\". VDOE needs to WAKE UP and put EDUCATION FIRST! Stop trying push an agenda on our kids that will bring mental and emotional anxiety on them. I guarantee you will loose a substantial size of your publicly educated children and therefore state funding for schools! They will be switched to  private and homeschool... you all think homeschool is a good option anyways- and we have adapted to that! I empathize for the transgender kids and their feelings... let them dress the gender of their choice, have a non-gender bathroom that they can use, have a non-gender locker room. This gives them equality.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Students of both biological sexes will be unwillingly exposed to circumstances that in no way promote a comfortable and safe setting conducive to education. Additionally, the added responsibility and strain it places on teachers and administrators to monitor bathrooms and locker rooms is an undue burden placed on staff by the DOE. This initiative, if passed, will be challenged in litigation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Because “gender identity” is not allowed to be questioned, there is nothing to prevent any student from exploiting many situations. I fear that we will see a rise in sexual harassment cases as we have seen in places such as Target, who has adopted these same policies.  To accommodate a few, we are threatening the right to safety and privacy for ALL students. It is concerning as well, that parents will not be notified of their child’s choices at school, or if a member of the opposite sex was in the same bathroom or changing facility as their child. Also, staff members and students will be forced to comply with policies that violate their moral and religious beliefs or face punishment.

It will also infringe upon the rights of males who do not want vaginas in their bathrooms. This is NOT transphobic. Let the trans youth use the staff/admin bathrooms.

The parents must have a say in their children's education.  I speak from experience,  having had 4 children raised in the Arlington County schools,  and 6 of my 10 grandchildren also so educated.  Their education was excellent,  and the school's social guidance above reproach.  I fear for my great grandchildren who are about to start in the county schools.  Perhaps they will be forced to go elsewhere.    signed . . . . a disillusioned ex-school employee.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I understand not all parents will support their trans children, and I don't have any constructive suggestions on that topic, but it puts schools in a difficult place. As the parent of a trans child, I am as concerned about how teachers and administrators treat students as I am how they are treated by other students and I think this policy does a good job of covering that. I think students who are uncomfortable with trans students sharing facilities should be provided an option for their comfort. Trans students don't \"make people uncomfortable.\" People react to trans students based on their own fears and prejudices.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is not a decision to even be considered at this time. “Anything created by man that obviously has a negative effect on society as a whole and without which, obviously has a positive effect on society as a whole, should not be allowed”. Have we not learned from the poor decisions we’ve made involving things that have clearly destroyed 100’s of 1000’s of lives? alcohol, porn, planned parenthood etc. If passed, this too will have a far more negative effect on society than positive.

Just one more distraction to take pupils from their studies.\nBody:\nBoys, girls, women and men are entitled to privacy when they enter a bathroom or locker room. It is invasive enough in an all girl's or boy's bathroom/lockerroom. I know these words are frowned on, but it is a fact one is born with one of two genders. It is hard to understand a society who would encourage these invasions into the most private rooms in a school. Should distractions be allowed during the schoolday, should children not be allowed a safe environment in which to concentrate on their studies. I do not understand a society who allows minors to make a decision of gender switching until they are in their majority. I hear too many people say, follow the science, but it is not science to have this gender reassignment during the school years of their childhood.

It’s as simple as that. They should not be discriminated against for who they are. Sex and Gender are two separate things and both are a Spectrum. It’s a biological fact that there are more than 2 sexes in both humans and other animals in nature. And it’s a sociological fact that Gender is a social construct that was strictly defined under European rule and which was imposed under colonialism and imperialism. Everything that denotes “Gender” is just a material good imposed on people by society, for example: clothing types, makeup, toys, colors, etc. and none of these things are inherently for boys or girls or men or women. No one is born immediately wanting those things that relate to their imposed gender, it’s being a part of society that makes people want and use those things to be accepted by society. And throughout history there have been many documented peoples, cultures, and civilizations having more than just 2 genders as well. The concept of a strict Gender is insane and harmful to people and their true selves. The leading cause of suicide in people who are Trans is not being accepted for being Trans. Trans Rights are Human Rights.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Yes, all students deserve the right to dignity and respect, and this guidance assists us in getting to that place. We all do better when we all do better. Trans students need our focus right now, and I support this guidance and encourage further learning, teaching, and understanding of the needs of trans, gender non-conforming, genderqueer, and non-binary people.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

First, the writers frequently use the phrase 'may be interpreted' when referring to federal and state statues. This is not the domain of policymakers. They are to refer to and enforce the law as written (not their interpretation) or by using the interpretation established through appropriate legal actions, i.e. through the courts. Nothing more. Second, the research and surveys that form the basis of the assumptions and policies delineated here are flawed from a scientific standpoint. They started with presupposed outcomes. Should the State actually desire to form good policy it would be more appropriate to delay this release and take two actions. One, reach out to more parents and legal guardians providing a forum for discussion without recrimination and condemnation of view points that are counter to gender ideology. Two, support research that does not presuppose the outcome to understand the actual scientific facts of the issue and situations facing students today. Third and most importantly, the State has no business in this arena in the first place. This policy document directs schools to further overstep their bounds and insert themselves between parents and their children. The school system's only responsibility is to educate children to ensure a well educated voting populous, nothing more. Parents need to step up and retake their children from the government. Stop ceding the responsibilities taken on in parenthood. Fourth, definitions are everything. It is unfortunate that this is even an issue here, but the definitions listed in this document are based on nothing but feeling without regard for language or scientific principle/fact. So often we hear the call to follow the science, so let's follow the science and get this drivel out of our laws and policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Having a VDOE model policy reduces the burden on each local school division and school board to develop their own policy from scratch. And this policy incorporates best practices for making sure that every student has the opportunity to learn in a safe environment. No child should fear going to school because of who they are. I care about this because my faith tradition teaches that there is that of G-d in every person, including gender variant people who are often pushed to the margins by the dominant culture. I also care about this because it will make a concrete difference in improving the lives of young people who I know and will reduce the stress on their parents related to navigating conversations with school staff.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It gives the biological male an unfair advantage.

There are cultural norms we can adapt and implement without enacting a policy that overrides parental consent and encourages a breeding ground for sexual predators.  Persons working with children must be knowledgeable about gender issues and questions without being encouraged to separate parent from child in the process.  This is not the solution to support transgender population - only to divide and ostracize those with differing views.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Passing legislation to protect transgender youth from at least some of this discrimination is extremely necessary. The high rate of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among transgender individuals is largely a result of this constant discrimination, lack of acceptance, and bigotry. Transgender youth deserve to be able to go to school as their true and authentic selves without fear of bullying and backlash. There are so many cases where transgender children have been discriminated against by their teachers and administrations, adults who are supposed to be there to help and nurture ALL children and teens, not just the straight, cisgender ones. Furthermore, I believe that the extremely disgusting transphobic and homophobic comments left on this town hall prove just how much vilification these children face and why legislation is necessary to ensure their protection and prosperity. Those who oppose this legislation are not looking to \"protect\" their children. Transgender youth are not threats! They are not trying to go into the bathroom of their gender identification to look up girl's skirts. Such stereotypes are used to paint all transgender individuals as sick perverts, a \"dangerous other.\" But I will say it again: The people who oppose this legislation are not looking to \"protect\" their children, rather, they are looking to protect their \"right\" to discriminate against transgender people. That is why legislation to protect transgender youth against discrimination is so important.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I myself developed severe depression in high school and almost lost my life to it. Trans kids in particular are often alienated and constantly misgendered which causes dysphoria. They also are more likely to be bullied or be rejected by their own parents. This is why we must protect them and support them. Supporting transgender students' rights will protect their safety. Suicide risk is very high in LGBT kids, as well as risk of physical harm from bullying. School is a place where all kids should feel safe so that they can learn and prepare for their future.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These proposals are absurd and ridiculous. What happened to common sense, morals, and values?  This could lead to so many issues not related to the cause at hand. There are many reasons why we have separate bathrooms, locker rooms, etc in the first place.  Do you think a middle or high school girl will feel comfortable changing a tampon or pad while a boy is in the restroom with her?  What about dress out for gym while a male is in the same room?  Vice versa for boys.   This is so counter intuitive to what we have always taught our children about respecting their bodies, modesty and the right to privacy.  What about a male who says he identifies as a female but really doesn't?   He just says that to be near girls in the restroom or gym.  Whether a student identifies as a male or female is their choice but the fact remains, that student is physically and biologically a male or female and therefore should not be allowed to violate and impose on the privacy of those students who truly identify with their God given identity.   Instead of being politically correct, let's focus on teaching love and respect for all students regardless of how one identifies.  I'm praying that you make the right decision for the majority of students. Sincerely, Amanda Charles\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No one should go home and hate themself for who they are, and everyone deserves to be treated with respect and fairness no matter gender or gender identity. If we can create an inviting learning enviroment for all, we may see things like less teen suicide in schools all around. No one should feel like dieing for being who they are. Futhermore, I believe everyone should be able to express themselves how they are, being a teenager is the time to explore and do that. I think anyone should be able to represent themselves how they like, and be who they feel on the represented on the outside, without retribution. I fully stand by protecting our trans students and gender non-conforming students with everything we can.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We also have evidence to suggest that these communities do not \"regret\" gender affirming care as some have proposed.

They are not dangerous, they are not a menace, they are children simply trying to find themselves as any child is. I am in STRONG support of any and all laws pertaining to the protection of transgender people, and hope anyone with half a heart also is. Aside from the fact gender variance is a very real thing, suicide is extremely common among transgender adolescents. The life expectancy of transgender individuals is 35. I believe these protections proposed will help raise that life expectancy as anyone deserves. They deserve a full life. I hope the VA lawmakers will consider the lives of those most effected rather than just nasty comments in opposition of protection of people.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I myself was a student in the commonwealth and faced discrimination and bullying, not merely from my peers, but more pointedly, from teachers and staff. I was at times isolated and ostracized by the people charged with my education and well being. My humanity was, it seemed, conditional. All the great variance of expression and perspective that could have been gained, the great growth of empathy that could have transpired, an understanding that normal is very different throughout not only time and place, but also in experience and individual and culture, was extinguished; the very antithesis of learning. Conformity, not compassion, was taught. I did not feel safe at my school. I did not feel safe in my home. I did not feel safe in my community, as these lessons had also been taught to them. I hope for a Virginia that is safe for all children, and I hope for hope to live on in the hearts of every student in the commonwealth. Each and every young mind should be able to see for themselves a future filled with truth and kindness and possibility. It can be nearly impossible, and sometimes is, to take another step, another breath, when that door to tomorrow appears closed to you simply because of who you are. The wealth of every human life in its many faceted brilliance enriches us all. Let us protect these shining children as the precious beings that they are.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As I lived in a liberal area in michigan during the time I was growing, I still had a lot of support from my school but not nearly enough. I'm honestly not worried about trans students sexually assaulting or harassing cis students. But all the contrary. After coming out I was sexually harrased and assaulted several times a day for months, one of the many reasons causing me to drop out after my senior year. This bill is just the beginning to decreasing the horrible suicide rates of trans individuals.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My experience has shown me that youth can clearly have an appreciation for their gender...especially when they are labeled a gender that does not match themselves. Please don't give credibility to the ill-informed who claim there is no reason for schools or the State to become involved in these issues. We need to protect the vulnerable. It is foolish to think that these policies would 'hurt or harm' other children. We have had numerous transgender students become Registered Nurses after completing our programs. Their ability to engage with fellow students, patients, and other healthcare workers was not at all affected by their gender identity. We must resist the false belief that \"it is the parents' responsibility\" because we know that parents have had a history of abusing, terrorizing, or rejecting their children who don't meet their expectations as a 'young man' or 'proper young lady.' Our society is much too diverse to pretend that we all must fit into one of two small, limited boxes. Lastly, I will say that democracy is more about protecting the rights of the minority (esp. the vulnerable, stigmatized, or marginalized) than it is about protecting the 'purity' of the majority (whose rights are much less likely to be trampled upon).  I strongly support the rights of transgender youth in our schools!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Why are we forcing our children to change their environments to support and “play along” with members that are diagnosed with a mental disorder?  We should protect our children from being FORCED to make adaptions to protect societal members who have disorders when those adaptations clearly effect their own feelings of safety. My children find it distressing to change in a locker room or go to the bathroom with someone whom genitalia are different from their own.  We have taught them, and we should continue to teach them that this is a private matter.  Their bodies should be safe guarded from perversions.  I feel this bill presents a major slippery slope for the ability of sexual predators to prey on young children. My question for a trans-gender person, “would you use the bathroom of your assigned gender at birth if you knew that it would keep 1 child from being molested?” Unless or until there are adaptations that allow for both presenting bodies (non transgender and transgender students) to feel comfortable in their environment then this bill should be tabled. Why are we not promoting a plan that allows for individual bathrooms for everyone is beyond me??\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are many recent studies on gender and transgender individuals and societal issues but few, if any, are definitive and widely accepted. One fact is sure, and that is that adolescence, the period following the onset of puberty during which a young person develops from a child into an adult, is the most critical for the formation of gender identity. See: Gender dysphoria in adolescence: current perspectives https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5841333/ (2018). Adolescence is generally defined as occurring from ages 13-19.  As anyone who has been a teenager can attest, feelings towards oneself, the opposite sex, or the same sex, are all in a state of flux during these critical years. I believe that it is inappropriate to mandate certain behaviors in schools K-12, but particularly for ages 5-12.  Biological sex may be more easily identified by children and adults, but transgender and LGBTQ+ individuals are not always easily identified without their help or verbal disclosure. The proposed policies will, in effect, force pre-puberty students and adolescents to make both choices and disclosures concerning their own gender or gender identity before may be ready to do so -- and, in many cases without proper education, counseling, and the time and reflection necessary, in order to do so appropriately. Additionally, this proposed mandate requires a tremendous task of school teachers and administrators, who are unlikely to be fully-equipped and trained to manage all that is expected of them under these policies.  Widely accepted LGBTQ+ and gender identity education and tolerance courses would need to be required for all school teachers and administrators and be settled in advance before these policies could be effectively implemented and maintained.  In summary, gender identity science is not fully settled; adolescents and pre-puberty youth are at risk if policies are not wisely tailored to their needs; and, a lack of complete education and preparation in schools and school districts will invite more harm than good.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

How can this even remotely be considered legal, much less constitutional? There are Guardian Ad Litems for a reason. There are courts for a reason. There are schools for a reason. Each of these three entities have definitive, and DIFFERENT roles in society. Teachers and Administrators have ENOUGH on our plates, crammed into only a few hours. I am there to TEACH, not PREACH. I am not there as a police officer or a judge. The topic of transgender rights is not a problem to be solved in SCHOOL . If special situations arise, there are guardian ad litems, and courts for those specific situations. Do NOT MAKE OUR JOB MORE DIFFICULT!

My high school experience was hell based on the fact that I was not protected as an LGBT individual. The school system will not provide protections for these students, will do nothing to shield them from the bullying (because even in the public schools, there are always cries of \"but it's against my religion!\"), but when the student kills themself due to all the hate they're receiving, the school system either does one of two things: they either lie and claim that they tried to help through crocodile tears, or they shrug their shoulders and move on as if nothing happened. There are school counselors in these facilities that are openly outing students to their parents and the people they live with, which is directly putting students in danger. Those counselors have no idea of what the at-home family dynamic is; if the student gets outed, then said student could now be at risk for abuse and neglect, or even being kicked out from their home. We need protections for all LGBT students within the school system, and I believe that our transgender students are a good place to start.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Social services would be called if anyone was trying to force a child to do something that bordered on abuse.

This is NOT a school or school system issue, but is a family issue that should be left to individual students to discuss with their parents, and absent parent consent to a gender identity change, should be left to when the individual reaches the age of maturity in order to effect this change on their own.  School aged children should not be able to make this life-changing decision on their own.  It has too many long-term implications that they are not mature enough to weigh and consider.  While we believe, and our faith teaches, that God created us to be either male or female, if one of our beloved children wanted to discuss this issue with us, we are the ones equipped -- after a lifetime of experience and love with that child -- not a school administrator, to lovingly consider all aspects of that child's then circumstances and mindset to reach a determination on this issue that is right for that person at that time.  And if they disagree strongly with us, their parents, they will have time and space to make their own decision on that issue when they are old enough to be considered by society to do such things as vote or enter the military.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Forcing the 99% of students who do not identify as transgender to comply with the preferences of the 1% who do is disproportionate and a violation of the rights of the 99% to privacy and security. This will also hurt the 1% by exposing them to the shame and taunts from their peers who disagree. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, but pretending that everyone will be is just denying reality. Furthermore, forcing the 99% to give up their own comfort and safety will only encourage those who are not yet mature enough to act with empathy to act with hostility. This will be exacerbated as girls lose actual benefits such as athletic scholarships if they are forced to compete against biological males. This will also hurt the schools as parents and children who do not agree will choose alternatives such as private schools and homeschooling. This will reduce the amount of funding available to the public schools. It will also exacerbate educational inequality as the families with means are able to take advantage of the alternatives, while those without are forced to leave their children in situations where they feel their children are threatened or with which they fundamentally disagree. This is especially true when schools are encouraged to hide information from parents who they believe are not sufficiently \"supportive\". Depending on how the guidelines are interpreted, they may also very well violate the law. The proposed document's description of the First Amendment says \"schools may not prohibit students from expressing their identity\". But any law school student knows that the protections are much broader than that. Schools may not prohibit students from expressing themselves, period, including expressing opposition to, disgust with, or antipathy towards others. Attempts to do so in an effort to prevent bullying may very well cross the line into censorship. Furthermore, opposition based on religious belief is also protected by the First Amendment. This is particularly true where the policy tries to require school staff to use a pronoun that a student prefers. This is coerced speech, of the kind which the First Amendment is particularly hostile towards. In other states where similar policies have been implemented, there has already been significant amounts of litigation. Given the level of opposition within parts of the state and uncertainty over whether such policies are even legal, the state would be much better advised to wait until what exactly the state and local boards can and cannot do before implementing these kinds of policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I've been lucky enough to work in schools where children who came out as trans or non-binary were met with compassion, understanding, and support. I've also worked in schools where students who came out were met with indifference and resistance. We know that children who are trans and non-binary suffer in school systems that fail to recognize their identity. Research also shows us trans and nonbinary students are more likely to experience bullying, harassment, and violence at school than their cisgender peers. The policies outlined here will ensure that students at all Virginia schools will be safe, be recognized and celebrated for who they are, and get the support they need to thrive.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I found the document well written and inclusive of all gender identities. I especially appreciated the inclusion of non-binary student identities, as well as the guidance for creating gender inclusive activities and dress codes. However, I have the following comments: Please reemphasize the importance of safety and case by case solutions for those students whose parents do not affirm the student's identity in the last paragraph on page 19, continuing onto page 20. Please consider encouraging professional development for educators as well as SHMPs on page 18. Please consider elaborating in the last paragraph on page 20 on positive actions for staff to take such as guidelines for those educators who wish to be \"ambassadors\", or the inclusion of safe spaces within schools.

In their adolescent years, children are still in the process of learning who they are, and it is of the utmost importance that they feel safe to express themselves without judgement or criticism from educators, counselors, or peers. Research has clearly demonstrated that providing children with such an environment decreases prevalence of depression and anxiety in children. In fact, the guidelines of this report are directly in line with recommendations made by the American Academy of Pediatrics. I commend the Department of Education on taking this step towards ensuring that Virginia public schools are welcoming, safe, and supportive for all students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Virginia has always been an education model for other states and we should be here too.  No one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against in their school, which is a place where they are supposed to be able to learn and be a part of a community that accepts them for who they are. Schools teach students how to succeed but they also teach students how to treat each other. This proposed rule will make Virginia schools a better place to learn for transgender and nonbinary students, which creates a better learning environment for all.  Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students. I am an academic advisor to students and I have seen the negative impact on academics and mental health when students are not treated with the respect and dignity that should be afforded to all humans.

And for transgender youth, the rate is even higher. Using correct pronoun and name decreases trans youth suicide by half. Unless someone decided trans youth are not human and they should just die, I can’t see any reason why making school a safer space is a bad thing. Furthermore, a more inclusive environment can improve life for all students. Trans students are student. And they deserve to live.

Students have a range of needs. Transgender students live in a world where they are minoritized and therefore have more mental health issues, higher suicide rates, worse school performance, etc... Studies have shown that transgender people, when supported and affirmed, can have better outcomes and healthier lives. This is a step toward helping transgender youth to feel safer and unincumbered in their route toward the same success that non-minoritized students take for granted. I support any move toward leveling the playing field for students, and transgender students could use support in this area.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These additional guidelines are simply protections of systems that are already in place to help transgender youth in Virginia feel comfortable and safe.

This should be a given. Teachers and school leaders should be making it their priority to create a welcoming environment for every single student, and to ensure bigotry does not enter their classrooms. Unfortunately, this is an issue we have to legislate. Transgender students are frequently the victims of bullying and harassment, and this policy will help to take that away which is essential for the wellbeing of Virginia's children. Any attempt to invalidate their rights or identities is not based in science, immoral, and has no place in a school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While my beliefs on transgender children differ from the suggested guidelines, this is not why I disagree.  I believe that this proposal will lead to further discrimination.  ALL CHILDREN deserve to be protected from bullying.  ALL CHILDREN should have their voice heard and respected.  By mandating special circumstances for one group of students, whoever they might be, you are automatically discriminating against children who don't fit into this category by making special accommodations that will impact a small portion of the student body.  A better solution would be to teach children who struggle with bullying, how to get along. Everyone is different.  Discrimination is frequently redirected from one group to another in a misguided attempt to regulate.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Students should be allowed to use the facility that corresponds to their consistently asserted gender identity. While some transgender students will want that access, others may want alternatives that afford more privacy. Taking into account existing school facilities, administrators should take steps to designate gender-inclusive or single-user restrooms commensurate with the size of the school. When schools have available gender- inclusive or single-user restrooms or private changing areas, these restrooms or areas should be accessible to all students without special codes or keys. This would allow for any students seeking privacy to access single-user restrooms and private changing areas voluntarily. should be allowed to use the facility that corresponds to their consistently asserted gender identity.

When schools have available gender- inclusive or single-user restrooms or private changing areas, these restrooms or areas should be accessible to all students without special codes or keys. This would allow for any students seeking privacy to access single-user restrooms and private changing areas voluntarily.” As the parent of girls, I am highly concerned about my daughters sharing a locker room, restroom, shower area with someone born male.  Regardless of how the person identifies, they were physically born male and retain they physical size and characteristics of a male.  Imagine how uncomfortable every female student in a locker room will feel accommodating a person who may identify, but physically remains male. There will be no reasonable way for a majority of the girls to use the one or two private facilities if the small number of transgender people want to use the shared locker room.  It also isn’t reasonable to ask the school to accommodate the logistics and timelines that would be necessary to make this work. Additionally, the potential size and strength differences between people born male or female increase as they enter high school or college ages.  The safety concerns of one of my daughters finding herself alone in a restroom or space with a physically larger male is terrifying. The entire concept of shared space seems counter to everything we teach our girls about personal safety.  Please please please remove this requirement and think of the impacts on a majority of students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While it is admirable that the state of Virginia wants to help students who feel bullied, allowing students to use whichever locker room, bathroom, or hotel room they choose puts students more at risk. Do you want a boy to follow your teenage daughter into the bathroom when no one else is around? Keep in mind he can just say he felt like a girl that day. Allowing students to choose what gender they think they are is also not fair to girls in sports. Another reason I oppose the proposed legislation is because it bypasses the parents. Parents have to sign their kids' report cards and show up for parent teacher conferences because it is important for them to be involved in their kids' educations, right? If parents have to sign off on what grade their kids get in music class and how many hours they practice per week, isn't it so much more important to involve parents when their kids wonder if they should take drugs to change their genders? Also these drugs increase the risk for depression and suicide. Even if you don't care about the kids, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. The Virginia Board of Education is going to get sued when a girl is sexually assaulted or even just stared at by a boy in the middle school bathroom, when a teenager on puberty blocking drugs that the school helped him get without his parents' consent commits suicide, and when boys who say they are girls start winning all the track and field events. I would not vote for school board members or Virginia Board of Education members who promote this legislation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I’ve worked in elementary and middle school for many years, and I know that students may use this to cause a lot of problems for teachers. Teachers already have much to deal with besides implementing a sexual agenda. Teach children the basics so they can grow up to be productive happy citizens with a sound mind.

People assuming that random kids will just change their identity to \"peek\" on others is completely unfounded. No kid in their right mind would do that and have to face the bullying and other things most trans kids get in school. Kids can be hatefully mean and most kids do what they can to NOT draw attention to themselves. Also to the people scared their daughter will be in the locker room with a guy. Also not true trans girls are girls end of story. There is alot of hate here for trans girls. yet no one cares or is focused on trans boys or non binary folks. At the end of the day trans folks are the gender they say they are no amount of hate or denying will stop that. They are all valid and all should be loved. If your worry is your kid using different pronouns or names at school versus at home maybe you should look at yourself and ask why it is your child doesn't feel comfortable talking to you about these things. All children should feel loved and supported. As a transwoman myself I say all trans kids deserve love and support and to feel safe in school and at home. The sooner everyone gets over their closed minds and sets aside whatever hang ups they have to support their children the better. Love your children no matter what.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Parents are in charge of their children, and schools should not hide anything from parents. I’ve worked in elementary and middle school for many years, and I know that students may use this to cause a lot of problems for teachers. Teachers already have much to deal with besides implementing a sexual agenda. Teach children the basics so they can grow up to be productive happy citizens with a sound mind.

Children need to be protected against predators especially when they are pretending to be \"looking out for them\". There are many countries that will send children to war at the age of 6 - 10. We as Americans think that is ridiculous and it is! I feel the same is true of thinking a child in elementary school is mature to be able to make life long decisions is ridiculous. Children are NOT adults. Physically they are not strong as adults and mentally they can not think and reason like adults. They do not have life experience that comes with adulthood. Our state had decided that children can not vote under 18, they can not drive a car by themselves under 16, buy a lottery ticket under age 18 or buy beer and cigarettes under age 21. The state and school systems should stay out of the business of sexual orientation. Let the children be children while they have the time.  Being an adult is difficult. Those over 21 need to stop thinking about ruling the world and just mind their own business.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Children who do not identify with their biological gender certainly are in need of help and support - this document makes school authorities not only exempt from notifying and working together with patents, but even deliberately deceiving them.  (For example, school staff is required to call a child by the name he asserts but can communicate with parents using the child's legal name). These children desperately need help and support and understanding from home. School authorities,  who will be in their lives only briefly, need to support children in having a good relationship with their parents and help parents to understand their children better if their is some tension. Additionally, these policies will make children loose touch with reality. If my 1st grader insists on being called a 5th grader, is it helpful to my little one to have everyone call her a 5th grader and be allowed into the 5th grade classes and recesses? How confusing to her that would be! And detrimental to her education.  Yes, she need some patient and understanding teachers and parents to help her cope with a mismatch of desire and reality, but no one should confuse her further by pretending she is several years older than she actually is. And what about everyone else? What about high school boys who, in fact, identify as boys, pretend to be transgender in order to be allowed into the girls bathroom and locker room. Not sending my daughter to that school!! What about sports? Children who are biologically male but identify differently could unfairly dominate girls sports. After all the progress we've made in recognizing that girls can be athletes, too, that would be a big step in the wrong direction. And why couldn't every child in the school change his name, at least during school hours, because the legal name doesn't quite express the right gender-identity.  A child could change names every week as the gender identity changes.  It would create chaos. Yes, we need some help for these children.  No,  this document is not going to help children struggling with gender identity or any other children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The punitive actions proposed for those who use long-standing universally recognized English terms in lieu of the recent politically motivated nonsense championed by LGBT+ radicals is unjust and impairs students' education.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The most common cause of death by far in transgender or gender nonconforming children and teens is suicide, followed by homicide.  The biggest predictor of future mental health is family support.  Many children do not have supportive families, and this leads to abandonment and homelessness.  While parents have first responsibility to care for their children and raise them with strong values, we cannot allow children to die because they are not accepted by their parents.  Having supportive schools where kids are accepted for who they are will go a long way to preserving life and mental health for these kids.   What child would CHOOSE to come out, knowing that they will be bullied and rejected, unless they truly believe that their gender assigned at birth does not match their identity?  Regardless of your knowledge or understanding of gender diversity, it is important to recognize that this is a life or death issue for these kids and teens.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These protections are in line with both medical and legal understandings of sexual orientation and gender identity, and these students are obligated to receive the protections described in this bill, which are in alignment with federal law and jurisprudence as well as medical recommendations. At a time where state legislatures are taking up bills to further marginalize transgender youth and criminalize their medically necessary care, protections like these provide a beacon of light and practical value for transgender students in Virginia schools. For these reasons I wholeheartedly support these model policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Why must we categorize children into \"victim groups\"?  Less than 1% (.6%) of the adult American population is transgender. Every child is unique.  Bullying is always wrong.  All children have times when they feel alone and different and may find themselves a victim of bullying.  It is the school’s responsibility to protect each student while in their care.  The school must keep parents informed and involved with everything related to their child.  If something happens to a child while under the school’s care or because of something that happened at school, including a discussion instigated by a school employee, the school will be responsible, and litigation could ensue.  All types of bullying is already addressed under the extensive anti-bullying policies and a new school policy is completely unnecessary. This transgender policy is extreme and scary allowing school staff to control and confuse our children about their gender and sexuality.  Under this policy, schools identify and counsel our children and they can do this without parental notification and involvement.  This policy even applies to elementary school students as young as 5 years of age.  This could cause much psychological harm to our children.  Children are easily influenced and frequently trust and admire teachers and school staff.  This process of identification and counseling could cause “gender confusion” where none exists, distrust of their parents and families, leaving the child feeling even more confused and alone. It turns our schools into psychiatric labs and endangers all of our children. Protect our female athletes.  Allowing someone with male genitalia to compete against females will guarantee that there will rarely be a female athlete to obtain sports scholarships and will destroy female sports. If the school determines that their plant is not safe for each student, they should turn public bathrooms and locker rooms into private bathrooms and locker rooms for the safety and privacy of each child. Our schools must focus on the education of our children and open communication with parents.  Do not approve this horrible policy which I believe will destroy our schools and children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Through its blanket endorsement of views like these, the VDOE has gone far beyond the path the General Assembly prescribed. Schools have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students. No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex. Many children would feel uncomfortable when they encounter a member of the opposite sex – particularly adults – in gendered facilities or when entering a shared hotel room as part of an overnight school activity. Children, particularly adolescents, can experience hypersensitive and traumatic reactions to these situations. Schools should not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible “gender transitions”. The model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children. The Department’s proposed policies would pit children against their parents when it comes to important questions about sex and gender identity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Schools serve as a home away from home where students are able to express themselves outside of the home. Chances are that schools already have transgender or gender nonconforming students and by implementing these policies, they would not receive support and be able to be affirmed in their identity and personhood, but be protected by any bigots or bad actors that chose to have a problem with their mere existence. LGBTQ+ youth already receive a disproportionate rate of bullying as compared to their cishet peers, so by supporting this policy, we are able to protect those who might not have the ability or power to protect themselves (and we are also supporting the mental health of these students as well!!) and giving those in power, our educational faculty and staff, the resources and power to help be an ally and advocate for them. I fully support these policies and urgently encourage the VDOE to implement this essential policy guidance for K-12 public schools in Virginia. These guidelines and policies changes would've been so essential for me as a trans student when I was in middle school, so I hope we are able to pass them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Chances are that schools already have transgender or gender nonconforming students and by implementing these policies, they would be able to be affirmed in their identity and personhood, but be protected by any bigots that chose to have a problem with their mere existence. LGBTQ+ youth already receive a disproportionate rate of bullying as compared to their cishet peers, so by supporting this policy, we are able to protect those who might not have the ability or power to protect themselves (and we are also supporting the mental health of these students as well!!) and giving those in power, our educational faculty and staff, the resources and power to help be an ally and advocate for them. I fully support these policies and urgently encourage the VDOE to implement this essential policy guidance for K-12 public schools in Virginia!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In 2018, one in three transgender youth attempted suicide. 31% had experienced sexual violence. It isn’t cisgender students at risk of being assaulted by transgender students, it’s the exact opposite and the data supports this. This is a matter of safety and health, plain and simple. Trans students are not “less than,” they are students and deserve to be protected just like everyone else. There is no space for bigotry, hatred, and discrimination in our schools. I strongly support these changes. https://www.thetrevorproject.org/2019/02/22/research-brief-data-on-transgender-youth/ https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/pdf/trendsreport.pdf\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I support the civil rights act of 1964 and we should not discriminate on the basis of actual race, color, national origin, religion, sex or sexual orientation, or disability.  I am writing to oppose the proposed VDOE policy for the treatment of transgender students in Virginia Public Schools for the 2021-2022 school year regarding the following issues: If students are to be treated equally, then there should be no distinction between how students are treated consistent with their gender identity.  To treat someone different because of their gender identify is by definition discrimination. Regarding how a student’s gender identify is shared, if this is identified as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and considered confidential along with their Social Security Number, birth date and address, then there is no issue or discussion between faculty and the student “how they prefer information about their transgender status to be shared.”  Faculty don’t share this information and the student shares it with whoever they wish. Forcing school staff to refer to a student by the student’s preferred pronoun violates the school staff’s freedom of speech.  How can a government organization force an employee to call a customer (student) be a specific name if that assertion violates the school staff’s religious beliefs (for example).  This violates the first amendment by prohibiting the free exercise of religion and abridging the freedom of speech.  If a student wants to be called by a specific name or pronoun, that should be a social contract between the student and whoever the student wants to refer to them by a specific name, like a nick name.  How can a person’s perceived emotional needs restrict someone else’s rights, and possibly effect their own emotional needs? If a transgender student’s parents do not support their child’s transgender identity, is that considered neglect?  If so, is this policy suggesting that school staff are obligated to call Child Protective Services on a parent that does not support their child’s transgender dysphoria?  Is the state to guardian of all public school students before the parent? “It is important that school divisions adopt policies and procedures that are focused on the safety of all students and seek to address privacy interests in situations involving individuals undressing or showering (pg 17).”  If this is true, then allowing students that are biologically different from their gender identity to access a restroom or locker room that is designated for students of the opposite biological sex, violates the privacy interests of the cisgender students.  Why should a transgender student’s preference, violate multiple student’s privacy interests who may or may not recognize the transgender student’s gender preference?  This would restrict cisgender student’s “access to restrooms, locker rooms, and changing facilities that are sanitary, safe, and adequate, so that they can comfortably and fully engage in their school programs and activities (pg 17).”  A feasible solution to this that considers all student’s needs, is to authorize transgender students to use the teachers restroom, but not to violate cisgender students privacy interests.  If it can be emotionally harmful for a transgender student to be questioned regarding the use of restrooms or facilities, it can be emotionally harmful for a cisgender student denied their privacy interests when changing or using the restroom by allowing someone of the opposite biological sex to share that space at the same time.  If a student attempts to enter the restroom or changing room of the opposite biological sex, it is the duty of the school staff (those in authority) to protect the privacy interests of cisgender students.  If a cisgender student’s privacy interests are violated by this policy, will a “multi-disciplinary school team meet with the student (and parents/guardians) to develop a plan to accommodate the student’s needs and requests (pg 20)?  If not, then this policy is hypocritical and the transgender student’s rights are deemed more important than the cisgender student’s rights, according to this policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It's okay to accept those differences, and to preserve what some consider 'old-fashioned' and 'out-dated' ideas of modesty.  Obviously if passed this will collapse at some point, because \"first female\" this or that has no meaning in a society where gender is somebody's idea at any given moment; girls are already losing out to boys \"crossing over\" and taking their spots in state tournaments and other physically competitive arenas.  Title IX (scholarships, etc) no longer have ground to stand on.  All sports = unisex.  The majority of parents are not supportive of this, so I guess we'll see if the far left (not liberals in general, but the extreme left) push through their world view onto the vulnerable.  And it's not real love if my father tells me that the toaster talks to him and I simply agree, \"yes dad, toasters can talk and they talk to me too.\" That is false sympathy, a lie, and a shallowness in not wanting to really get to know the actual person struggling or needing help.  Real love for someone is truth with charity- you are a boy (or a girl), and you are okay even if you don't live stereotypical masculine or feminine ways.  Boys can love pink, girls can love blue!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It has no place in our schools.\nBody:\nThere is exactly zero scientific evidence to support the contention that gender confusion is anything other than a mental illness. The mentally ill, just like the physically ill, should be treated compassionately. We can and should, of course, do so without destroying the very fabric of our society. History will not judge this page in our history kindly when it looks back and sees the madness of chemically castrated children, men competing in and dominating women's sporting events, sexual assaults from allowing males into female bathrooms and locker rooms, and the destruction of our language with the creation of nonsense pronouns to describe genders which do not exist. Males produce sperm and females produce eggs. Sorry, but there is no third (or fourth, or fifth, or fifty-second) gamete.  Yes, sadly some people cannot produces those gametes. That does not mean there are no longer two genders any more than one person missing a leg means that humans are not bipedal. If our schools are to be places where the scientific method and critical thinking are of any value, then we must reject unscientific, irrational policies like the one proposed.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

By allowing students to force a teacher to use a preferred pronoun under penalty of disciplinary action, you are making teachers dance through a minefield of potentially ever changing preferred pronouns. Accidently say the wrong one and it will blow up on you. Teaching needs to focus on the education of core elements: language, reading, art, math and sciences, not on an indeterminant game of \"Guess the pronoun\". If you feel you need to have a policy, make it suggested one where the teacher uses a student's preferred first name or their last name when addressing them personally or talking about them in the third person.  Again, make it suggested that the teachers do this, not under penalty of disciplinary action. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address this issue.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I couldn’t imagine her coming home from school saying a male followed her into the bathroom or watched her change in the locker room simply because he was allowed to. Think about how uncomfortable this will make females. That a guy can stand in the locker room with them and watch them change and say it’s because “they identify as a female that day”\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Our parents were our best teachers in showing us how to love others, make smart decisions, be kind to others, exhibit moral behavior and to be a light in the world. We were raised in a Christian home with God as our moral compass. Now as a parent, my daughter has attended public schools for six years so far. She is sweet, kind, loving and such a gentle spirit. She loves God and her family. I do not want her to be taught about transgender issues, like it just becomes part of the regular curriculum. It is against our religious beliefs and is not how God created us - male or female. Children have young, impressionable minds and should not be taught in a way that can be persuasive for them to be told they can take medication to alter their hormones without their parents knowledge or approval?!?! Heck NO! We are the parents for a reason. We have been entrusted with the responsibility of raising our children and teaching them the difference between what is right or wrong and in our household, if it’s against the word of God, it is wrong! We do not want to pull our child out of public schools because she can be a positive role model to others, but if this “guidance” passes, we will either homeschool or enroll her in a private, Christian school. Please do Not pass this “guidance”!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Additionally, the purpose of our education system is to teach the three \"R's\" (reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic), while including Critical Thinking in teaching methods.  The current curriculum is erroneously teaching our children WHAT to think, rather than HOW to think.  Sexual orientation has become a marketing tool of the political left and has no place in the academia arena.  No wonder the public school systems are producing confused, unconfident, students who cannot write a grammatically correct sentence, or cite their multiplication tables.  If our children cannot be allowed to logically conclude absolute truths, such as male and female, then all aspects of education such as math, history, and science also become irrelevant, not to mention the act of teaching also becomes ultimately pointless.  Therefore, one must ask: \"Does this proposed VDOE Transgender Policy lead to a loss of public school teaching jobs while parents abandon the public \"education\" system, embracing private education or homeschooling, as they realize their hard-earned money is being thrown away on a politically motivated and abusive agenda?\"\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The world is changing - cultural, technologically, scientifically. Today people are allowed to express themselves in ways not possible just a few decades ago. And in the same way that people were allowed to express their religion, and their love (by allowing interracial and gay marriage), people should be allowed to express their gender in ways that does not directly impact others. Yes, people will claim their Freedom of Religion to say their rights are being impinged, but they are not actively being impeded; it's simply that the mere presence of someone whose choice they disagree with offends them, and there are no rights against being offended. And finally, people get so focused on freedom of speech and religion and the 2nd amendment that they often forget the Ninth Amendment: \"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.\" Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If they have a penis they do not belong with the girls who have a vagina!!! Build a separate bathroom! My girls have already been told if they need to use the restroom they are to hold it as long as they can and then they can call me and I will pick them up from school.

It is easy to imagine a woke school official citing these guidelines as a justification for using school disciplinary procedures to force religious students to violate the teachings of their faith or to punish them for holding firm to those teachings (e.g., you will be suspended/expelled unless you show solidarity by using an open shower with everyone else). The lack of required evidence of transgender status is also concerning.  What does \"consistent\" mean?  For example, how would a school deal with a student who has never been anything other than a cisgender boy, but who is cut from a boys' team, then claims to be a girl, and asks to join a girls' team of the same sport?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Why can't we simply let children act like normal children?  Gender is a biological reality not a choice.  I understand there is a small group of people who don't feel their biological gender matches up with their mental gender.  I understand and accept that is how they are.  I believe in treating all people equally.  However, I do not believe this group should be singled out for special treatment, good or bad.   And I certainly do not believe we need to completely re-shape the rest of society so we can pretend that this is normal.  It is not.  Having a teacher risk losing a job because they forget to call someone \"they\" is beyond the pale of stupidity.  What is next?  Do we fire people because someone is called \"short\", \"fat\", \"ugly\"?  ...how about \"smart\" or \"pretty\"?  There is no end to where this idiocy can go.

I do not send my children to school to play pretend...I send them to get an education based in science. Why doesn't anyone care about the 99 percent of children who do not want to shower or use the bathroom with the opposite sex?  What about their right not to feel ill-at-ease in the bathroom? What about the vast majority of children who correctly believe there are only two sexes...why must a lie be foisted upon them? Why not stick to reading, writing and arithmetic in school and leave matters of sexuality to parents to navigate in their own child's best interest.  Finally, I resent the role of the parent being dismissed in the education of their own child.  Enough of this pandering nonsense.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Have we truly taken a look at all students rights when writing these policies?  Have we considered the mental, emotional, and social consequences on all our students to be subjected to these policies?  Have we looked at the majority of what our students want and deserve? I am unsure why as professionals and adults (I will acknowledge not all on the panel are adults nor professionals, and DEFINITELY not eductors), you feel there are not some serious, long-lasting negative consequences associated with our students if these policies are put into place.  First and foremost, they do not represent ALL student bodies across the State of Virginia.  Nor do they fairly represent or consider the repercussions that will take place for ALL students.  I believe that we need to look outside of one particular group of students (or political agenda) and look at what will create the best possible learning environment for ALL students.  That is our goal, correct, as educators, and what the State of Virginia as called us to do as an educational entity? These learning environments need to be safe, caring, inviting, and accepting FOR ALL STUDENTS- not just a small percentage. On the other hand, have we considered that we are already facing a shortage of quality teachers in our great state?  Now, we want to hold teachers responsible to whims of a select few parents and students and policies that will seriously put us in jeopardy of violating our personal beliefs and livelihoods should we not bow down to the ridiculousness of uttering an incorrect pronoun.  Have we, as educators, been polled on our thoughts about these policies- since we are the ones in the trenches tolerating and enforcing them in the name of wanting to better the world and make a difference? Lastly, let's talk about personal beliefs.  At what point, do I as a Christian parent and educator have my rights protected as well?  I do not stand for anyone getting bullied, left out, feeling uncared for, abused, etc.  That is why I am an educator- so I can help create possibilities for our young students and help them change their lives.  But at what point, will someone not allow us Christian educators and parents to not be bullied?  When do we count?  In no way do I feel it is correct that one of my young female students be allowed in a bathroom with a male student.  Nor do I feel it is appropriate for a male student to be subjected to a female student's anatomy because this female (or her parent) deems that she may choose not to wear a top in certain activities. At what point, did we decide that ALL our students' physical and mental safety is not a priority?  Have we considered all the possibilities (and statistics) of sexual assault? The repercussions of the angry parents when a student complains or shares a negative experience?  Have we not, as schools, experienced enough violence (and negative headlines) for this possibility to be considered as a very real threat as a result? Men and women of the panel and VDOE, I applaud you attempting to protect our students, but I urge you to cast your net wider in representing the great State of Virginia and the school divisions and populations within.  I also urge you to truly think like parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc... in what you would desire for your family each and every day when you entrust them to a public educational setting. Put aside any political agendas or what money and pressure is taunting you to decide and truly look at the safety and welfare and what is right for the majority of our students and educators.

PROTECT TRANS YOUTH!!!\nBody:\nAs an adult with experience as both an educator and a registered nurse, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to support trans youth. They are in a marginalized group with a history of being disproportionately bullied and victims of violence. I’m ashamed to have seen it occurring in schools and and in healthcare. The notion that the cisgendered students would be experiencing violence or negatively impacted by this in anyway is shocking to me. I’m proud to say that some of the people I love most are trans and if there was any way I could have lessened the burden of their childhood experiences, I would have leapt at the opportunity. They are without question, the most tender, compassionate and understanding humans I’ve known. I have no doubt much of this is attributed to the struggles of being trans in a world that is often not accepting of something outside of the  binary.  I only wish anyone reading this comment could really experience what wonderful humans they are. With inclusivity taught in the home, we can help to mitigate the violence and hate crimes. Even before that, protections like these in school are essential for human rights.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We must continue to work to keep bullying out of all schools. But this model policy reflects flawed policies. Sex differences exist in DNA, though it is unpopular to follow the science in this field. Trying to eliminate gender-based activities is also wrong-headed. (E.g., Father-daughter events such as Take Your Daughter to Work Day, have helped women broaden their career goals.)

Males are NOT females and females are NOT males, down to their genetic coding.  That is science! There is nothing holding up this insane house of cards that you are promoting except the underlying Marxist dogma whose aim is to destroy the foundations of civilized society, especially that found in America. To encourage insanity is truly an evil thing.  And to do so to allow these males to compete against females in whatever extracurricular activities you deem necessary just to satisfy their male egos is kafkaesque.  Let them wallow in their nightmare, but leave all real females the hard-fought right to enjoy competitive sports, to savor victory and learn from loss, and to grow to become the confident women we need in our society. You are beyond evil to even be seriously considering such things as self-mutilation and sham pretense being acceptable, forcing the rest of us to go along with this charade.  Please read the Emperor with No Clothes and stop brainwashing our kids!!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Schools are designed to be safe spaces for children and this policy ensures that and does not infringe upon the rights of other students as some seem to think.  Rates of negative mental health outcomes and suicide are disproportionally higher for trans youth. This guidance has the ability to positively impact the mental health of trans youth by providing affirming and supportive environments.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No special treatment should be given to any individual.  I believe this first and foremost needs to be taught, demonstrated and enforced as to bringing special attention to a specific group.  As for bath rooms you should use the bath room you have the equipment for.  Children are at school to learn and be educated.  Not to make moral, social or sexual decisions or be taught these things.  The job of the school and its employees should be that of education per SOLs and as good examples of model citizens.  All persons opinions should not be a point for discrimination or segregation.  When you start moving to make “accommodations” you alienate and promote special unbalanced treatment to one group over others.  What does that teach me out children.  Be loud  or cry and you will get your way,  this doesn’t prompt a strong confident member of society.  It caters to the practice of crying to get your way.  A healthy society can not developed and sustain on this principle.  We must be able to function on the grounds of our design and opinions with our requiring special treatment with a physical or learning disability to help accommodated.  As I doubt a transgender individual is going to label their choice as a handicap I do not she the need for a handicapped treatment mentality.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is about forcing people to do what you want them to do. What will happen if VA forces transgender agendas on the education system will simply force anyone with a slightly conservative viewpoint to pull their kids out and put them in private school or you will see a mass exodus for home school. If they aren't able to do this, they will move for the nearest state that doesn't do this kind of stuff. Beyond this, what you are proposing is compelling speach, which I have questions about the legality on that one. Furthermore, what happens when you try to enforce this policy in all those rural towns where the sheriff is primed to get a good reason to deputize every man, woman and child. Does the state actually think that they will separate tens of thousands of kids from families and then what? The legislation is a gross overreach and will not end well. Add to this that you will one day stand before God and you will have to explain it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is a blatant EVIL agenda seeking to enroll minors forcibly in abusive behaviors. There hasn’t been anything sincere or honest regarding Transagenda since day 1. People aren’t suddenly coming down with an illness diagnosed as having wrong healthy body by accident requiring dangerous drugs and genital   mutilation. Girls privacy isn’t yours to give away. Parents are very aware of whether child is male or female factually unless they’re getting rich to pimp child and model a fashion. The facts have not changed as to why sex separate spaces are relevant. The idea gross opportunists would attempt harming and dangerous agenda seeking to prey on minors while spreading the rumors without any credentials, experience, knowledge or genuine concern says it all. Why aren’t the girls that have been begging for someone to listen over past couple years regarding this non sense mattering ?! It wasn’t wise to ignore The Parents, the CHILDREN  involved and the facts. Girls are being raped at schools peddling trans aka sex habit/fetish label slapped on a child like it’s cool to advocate child sex. Girls are losing scholarships. Girls are being shamed. Boys are being told personality determines whether they should chop off their penis. This is horrific. Most claiming title as Trans are bribed to dress opposite sex and children have no idea what being responsible for influence is. Most are vulnerable and easily manipulated. Most are suicidal. There was no outbreak of anything but gross opportunists in line with hand out for money to encourage the self destruction in minors worse than drug addiction. Lying. Lying. Lying since day 1 and knowingly. Tell Gavin Grimm she should look up Keira Bell. All involved should be publicly shamed but getting rich to pimp children pays them far too well to give a damn.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Per a 2013 BBC article, “Child psychologists are being given a new directive which is that the age range they work with is increasing from 0-18 to 0-25...Neuroscience has shown that a young person's cognitive development continues into this later stage and that their emotional maturity, self-image and judgement will be affected until the prefrontal cortex of the brain has fully developed.” (source: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24173194 ) If a brain is not fully developed & prior to age 25 decisions are based purely on emotions, then all the Education Department will do is create a bunch of gender confused kids who at age 9 say they want to be the opposite gender because it is a trend or to get attention for themselves but at age 10-13 say it was a mistake. Those even considering this must have never been exposed to kids since children are fickle little people. The job of a school is train and educate kids on how to use their knowledge to get a job and to succeed in life, not identity politics. A friend, René, transitioned as an adult from a man to a woman in the early 1990s because he always thought of himself as a woman. René got into a relationship and when she told her boyfriend about transitioning, he no longer wanted to see her. She told my mom “It was the worst decision she made.” This has always stuck with me because it made me sad René was not happy as a man nor as a woman. So sad is the lie of follow your heart. I do not believe it is right for children to be exposed to transgenderism because it mentally messes with young minds who are discerning between right/wrong as well as truth/lies. You cannot teach children that 1+0=1 when you tell them they can be a boy one day and a girl the next day. That destroys trust and will expose children to abuse within the school system and at home. I really hope you all listen to those voicing opposition to this instead of the special interest groups and Northern VA liberals in favor of corrupting every institution with identity politics.

This is a dangerous territory the school officials are crossing. This strip me of my right as a parent to encourage my daughter or son to love who HE OR SHE is because God chose them to be what they are. Transgender is an abnormal behavior and should not be normalized. When schools begin to allow someone to suddenly start behaving as the opposite sex as in changing in locker rooms with others that do not have the same anatomy this is absurd and disgusting.  All the sudden my son or daughter has to be made uncomfortable because of this. Accepting and normalizing transgenders  is just like taking in the Trojan horse.  You thinking accepting this will bring good to the community but what is awaiting is wickedness.  It will open room for more wicked thinking to follow. Please don’t force us as free Americans to accept such wicked thinking and actions.

However, complicating the rules and regulations, including specified language, hinders more than helps. I strongly oppose the language in this document in the section that talks about schools/teachers using preferred pronouns. I feel it is very broad and opens the door to false accusations. I strongly oppose the part that discusses how one might need to negotiate the use of preferred language among students and their parents. That opens the door to creating an air of distrust among all parties involved, and does nothing to build Family-School relationships. I oppose other parts of this document as well, but unfortunately do not have the space to discuss. Bottom line:I going to be difficult for educators to do their jobs or students to learn if  everyone is constantly worried about accidently offending someone.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is critical to build a better learning environment for our transgender students. As the mother of a transgender non-binary adult child, I know that using appropriate gender pronouns and chosen names is an important element of acceptance. But that is just the bare minimum. Including curriculum which is Transgender inclusive is essential to educating not just transgender students, but all students. This will help de-stigmatize LGBTQ youth and foster a safer and more welcoming environment. Ensuring all students have access to sanitary, safe, and affirming facilities is important and a basic human right. Lack of access to these facilities encourages bullying and anti-transgender violence. Additionally, having affirming and supportive counselors who respect the students privacy is critical. Our children across Virginia deserve the best education in a safe and welcoming environment. Transgender inclusion is key to making this happen.  ~ Shyamali Hauth, Reston Virginia.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy will endanger our children physically and mentally! What about our rights? What about the rights of those who do not want their child forced to change in a locker room with the opposite sex who “identifies” a certain way?? Or to have our children accused of harassment should they happen use the wrong pronoun. Just because someone “identifies” as something doesn’t make it so. Not to mention there have been studies done (even common sense will tell you this) that children are impressionable and immature and the amount of confused children is going to compound exponentially! You will have a child following a transgender fad one month and changing back the next. These are children! Follow the science, we are either biological male or female. You start down this rabbit hole and there will never be an end. Just utter chaos.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Unfortunately, our public schools have failed transgender and gender expansive students in this regard far too often. Research from reputable organizations like the Trevor Project have shown trans students who are supported and affirmed experience better mental health outcomes and lower instances of suicidality. ( https://www.thetrevorproject.org/survey-2020/?section=Supporting-Transgender-Nonbinary-Youth ) Protecting trans students literally saves lives. As I prepare to enter the teaching profession, I hope I can be part of VA schools that do better for our trans and nonbinary students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I personally love children  and want the best for each one. This is a reckless policy that will further shift our schools down to the lowest in the world. At such a young age children should not be having these issues. I have great concern of letting a young born boy join up with a bunch of young girls in locker rooms, restrooms and such just because he says he is a girl. Kids that are having these problems need real help not just giving them a pat on the back. These children need help to learn that what God made them is okay to be and they do not need to be the opposite to fit in. I often times there are deeper needs in a childs life when they are turning to such foolishness. Often times when kids are going through transgender issues it scars them for life and they never fit in. By passing policy like this trying to force them to fit in you do them more harm than good. These kids and there parents truly need help but accepting them is not the way to do it. Please put policies in place to help the children feel comfortable in the sex they were born in.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

SUPPORT? SECRECY? EVIDENCE-BASED??  LEGAL???\nBody:\nFAPE. SAFETY. Both are covered under federal, state and local laws and codes. What this policy attempts to do is rip out the foundation of support that innocent little children need to thrive safely while accessing an education.  Instead of receiving support for their well being and protection of their safety so that they may focus on learning while in school children will live in mortal fear of exposure.  This policy isolates, disenfranchises and condemns students of all persuasions!  It discards sage wisdom that says protect the children and guard their innocence, and it promotes secrecy in all the wrong ways.  Hidden lies are rampant throughout.  This \"policy\" is feel-ism run amuck, and runs wild with insanity. When children should be able to expect sound guidance and stalwart protection from the adults in their schools they will be getting sold for 30 pieces of silver: each and every one of them. While raising my now adult son who has ASD among other disabilities I never once allowed him the excuse of \"disABILITY\" as free pass to trample on the rights of others.  I taught him to respect others; even those who were different from him.  When fear and anxiety darken his perspective it has always been my responsibility as his parent (and now legal guardian) to support him, to guide him and to keep him safe: and to do this all while respecting the rights of those around him.  Never an easy day. I spent all of his 18 years in Virginia public schools advocating for his SAFETY while he accessed a FREE and APPROPRIATE PUBLIC EDUCATION.  Never once did I seek to infringe on another child's safety.  That would have been ethically wrong.  So is this policy. It is not appropriate to exclude the rights of one group of students under the guise of protecting those of another.  SAFE schools protect the rights of every student without exclusions.  This proposed policy tramples on the rights of a little girl to access the restroom in her school with complete privacy and without fear of being exposed personally and exposed to male anatomy.  Additionally it give boys of all ages a free ticket to voyeurism; TOTALLY ILLEGAL. Evidence-based studies are no where noted in this document either in the references to best practices or the appendix.  Lots of surveys and opinions and especially ideologies.  Oh and so many incongruencies; too many to point out.  Overall this proposed policy is not worthy of anything but rejection.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Yes, we all certainly need to ACCEPT one another, but we cannot be forced to APPROVE of one another's choices, lifestyle, gender identity, etc.  There is a big difference between ACCEPTANCE and APPROVAL.  This proposal is an attempt to force everyone to APPROVE of transgenderism, not just ACCEPT it.  Therefore it is non-inclusive to people who disagree, and if implemented, anyone could face consequences (or be labeled \"non inclusive\") simply for using words like \"he\" or \"she\", regardless of intent. Kids make mistakes (just like we adults do).  Many youth also lie (just like many adults do).  Those types of sins are prevalent, and we can't just turn a blind eye to that fact.  This proposal is way too subjective and will be quickly abused by bullies and lying youth (it could be argued that there are more bullies than transgender students, so the risk is real).  Do we really want to make it easy for a bully (or sexual predator) to enter un-questioned into the girls' bathroom/locker room (and have the right to do so by this proposal)?  What mental health consequences can we expect from that unintended side effect?  It's too subjective - there's no way to tell if the person is lying about their gender identity or not.  Biological gender is objective enough to be clear so that it's not so easily abused.  Can we really be that trusting to think that this proposal will make things safer for the majority? I understand that there is concern for the well-being of the transgender minority, but unfortunately life is not fair and we can't make everyone \"happy\" all the time.  Yes, all students should be accepted in our schools, but that does not mean we need to create subjective rules to attempt to force everyone to comply and approve of the gender identity that such students would be allowed to change on a day-to-day basis. Please don't approve this proposal.  I would like for my daughters to stay in the public school system.  I want them to be accepting, kind, and loving to all.  But I don't want them to be forced to approve activities that go against their faith, and I certainly don't want them to be unsafe spiritually, mentally, and physically from the consequences of such a proposal.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are plenty of studies that have found that inclusive bathroom policies do not negatively impact bathroom safety.

(Check out the rate of illiterate children graduating in Fauquier County, VA if you don’t believe me.) K-12 schools are not the appropriate place to explore your gender identity or sexual orientation. Mathematics, Science, and Literature are all legitimate examples of subjects to pursue in school. Even IF a student chooses to be confused about the reproductive organs they were born with, that is IRRELEVANT to learning how to read, spell, add, paint, sing, or even play an instrument! This legislation will not provide equity for all students by protecting trans-genders, so much as it is making trans-students a “protected species” while putting cis-gendered students at risk. You can’t protect one group at the expense of another. Also, this legislation undermines our teachers and school staff by degrading their authority with students.  If a student can be gender-fluid at any given-time; that can be used to manipulate staff and impede learning. Our nation legalized homosexual marriage, and already we are hearing rumblings of people wanting to legalize polygamy and pedophilia....where does this stop? Where do you draw the line? Legislate to protect trans-gender students and next up: students want to identify as animals or inanimate objects.  This isn’t about protecting a slim minority...this is a politically weapon used issue aimed at destroying absolute norms.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The thought that a human has more rights than Gods name in a school system is horrifying Children’s minds at this age are so incredibly vulnerable and not even fully developed. Why create unnecessary confusion. if a child is confused  let them deal with it in the privacy of their own home just like those that pray have to. If God is not to be spoken of in schools why would we put the responsibility of taking care of another child’s confusion on a child that has no idea its mind blowing. I am a 25 year old mom to 2 toddlers and a baby and I am sickened. So no. I do not want these polices to be put into place. Absolutely not.

Not only are you mandating that students should now be in charge of telling teachers what to do, you are asking teachers and schools to do things that are impossible to enforce and moreover will only increase the instances of abuse, bullying, and assault. In what democratic republic on earth do schools encourage MINORS to behave in ways dangerous to themselves and others and NOT inform parents??  This entire document is beyond all reasonable comprehension. Stop playing dime store psychologists, try TEACHING our children some literature, mathematics, arts, and some actual history instead your watered down version of social studies indoctrination. You might try teaching biology too!!  Refer these troubled teenagers to professionals who can help them.  Don't upend and entire school system in an effort to appease a dangerous political mob.  Love the VAST majority of students who are not dysphoric in this way alone, and get back to teaching and learning, if you can. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This means all students. I fail to understand how policies like this will make those children to whom it does not apply, feel unsafe. But without these policies, other children to whom it may well apply, may continue to feel unsafe. Life is difficult enough for kids.  If the goal is for all kids to feel safe, and able to learn in school, then we have to continue to discuss policies that work toward that goal.  And as needs are identified, we can't just ignore them because they're inconvenient.  So much of the debate against these policies resembles Jim Crow VA of the 50's when schools were shut down rather than integrated, because people didn't want their kids to be with those who weren't identical to themselves.  So what does it  matter if your kid's schoolmates don't fit your view of reality?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

FFLC and its parent, The Family Foundation of Virginia (“TFF”), have supporters in most Virginia cities and counties. FFLC makes these comments on behalf of itself as well as its supporters. Introduction In Troxel v. Granville , 530 U.S. 57, 65-66 (2000), Justice O’Connor for a plurality of the United States Supreme Court reiterated the following principles that have guided the rights of parents over the education of their children for the past 100 years. The Fourteenth Amendment provides that no State shall “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” We have long recognized that the Amendment’s Due Process Clause, like its Fifth Amendment counterpart, guarantees more than fair process. The Clause also includes a substantive component that provides heightened protection against government interferences with certain fundamental rights and liberty interests. The liberty interest at issue in this case — the interest of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children — is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized by this Court. More than 75 years ago, in Meyer v. Nebraska, 262 U.S. 390, 399, 401 (1923), we held that the ‘liberty’ protected by the Due Process Clause includes the right of parents “to establish a home and bring up children” and “to control the education of their own.” Two years later, in Pierce v. Society of Sisters, 268 U.S. 510, 534-535 (1925), we again held that the “liberty of parents and guardians” includes the right “to direct the upbringing and education of children under their control.” We explained in Pierce that “[t]he child is not the mere creature of the State; those who nurture him and direct his destiny have the right, coupled with the high duty, to recognize and prepare him for additional obligations.” Id., at 535. We returned to the subject in Prince v. Massachusetts, 321 U.S. 158 (1944), and again confirmed that there is a constitutional dimension to the right of parents to direct the upbringing of their children. “It is cardinal with us that the custody, care and nurture of the child resides first in the parents, whose primary function and freedom include preparation for obligations the state can neither supply nor hinder.” Id. at 166. In subsequent cases also, we have recognized the fundamental right of parents to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control of their children. . . . In light of this extensive precedent, it cannot now be doubted that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment protects the fundamental right of parents to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control of their children. The Model Policies proposed by the Virginia Department of Education (“VDOE”) violate these fundamental rights of parents by circumventing parental involvement in a pivotal decision affecting their minor children's care, health, education, and future. The Model Policies enable minor children, of any age, to transition socially to a different gender identity at school without parental notice or consent, and requires school personnel to enable this transition.  The Model Policies also prohibit personnel from communicating with parents about this potentially life-altering and dangerous choice if the parents have not agreed with the child’s wishes.  These Model Policies are flawed. The following concentrates on their legal flaws. The Model Policies’ Legal Flaws Several Descriptions of “Related Laws” Are Either Wrong or Misleading VDOE summarizes on page 7 “Related Laws” that apply to the Model Policies.  Several of these summaries are either wrong or misleading. The description of the First Amendment is true in that it protects a person’s free speech and expression from governmental interference. It also, however, protects the free exercise of religion. Just as schools may not prevent students from expressing their identity, schools also may not prevent a student (or a group of students) from sharing their religious beliefs with other students. This sharing of religious beliefs, including God’s design for life and bodies, is not bullying but speech protected by both federal law (the Free Exercise and Free Speech clauses of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act), and state law (the Virginia Constitution and the Virginia Religious Freedom Restoration Act). Moreover, any school policy that permits speech affirming one’s sexual identity, but not permitting rebuttal speech on the same subject, is content and viewpoint discrimination. The Fourteenth Amendment does guarantee citizens equal protection under the law. It protects all (not simply LGBTQ+) students from unfair and discriminatory school actions. Under the Fourteenth Amendment, specifically gendered washrooms must be limited to the designated gender. Boys should not be allowed to use washrooms and/or locker rooms designated for girls, and vice versa. Allowing some boys to use girls’ washrooms, and some girls to use boys’ washrooms is unequal treatment, thereby triggering the Equal Protection Clause. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is generally, as stated, a federal law that prohibits schools that receive federal financial assistance from limiting or denying a student’s participation in any school program on the basis of sex. The following statement in the Model Policies (that Title IX “may be understood to prohibit discrimination . . . based on . . . sexual orientation, and gender identity or transgender status”) is wrong.  On January 8, 2021, the U.S. Department of Education’s (“USDOE”) Office of General Counsel issued an opinion as to whether the Court’s interpretation of  “sex” in Bostock v. Clayton County, 104 S. Ct. 1731 (2020) affected the i... [truncated]\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Leave that for the parents!! Teach my kids academics and nothing else. You have no right to destroy the innocence of my kids. This will cause a lot of confusion in their still developing minds and confusion that leads them to start to question their identity as a result of this indoctrination. I wonder if this is not the actual agenda of VDOE. Secondly, how can you guarantee that this policy is not taken advantage of by miscreants seeking to toy with people's minds? Thirdly ,can you guarantee that kids will stay safe and not get taken advantage of by individuals who use this as a means of sexually assaulting or taking privilege of members of the opposite sex who are biologically so?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These regulations are harmful to children and injurious to parent-child relationships. Children, who are in the process of formulating their own personal identities, need careful, compassionate guidance from trustworthy adults and not from ones who will cater to and capitalize on their vacillating adolescent struggles. These policies intentionally remove parents from the integral part they play in the nurturing of their own children. In most circumstances, parents are the ones who care more intimately for their children than anyone else.  Set aside the fact that I chose to become a parent because I want to love, mold and shape my child to into a good kind human.  I am required by law to be financially responsible to my child therefore I feel that I should also be required by law to have full disclosure when it comes to all medical, mental health and educational information regarding my child. In addition, the ability of any person being permitted to use any bathroom/locker room is alarming for the safety particularly of girls. The thought of boys/young men in the same changing facilities as girls/young women is shocking and an invitation for all kinds of sexual violations. Hearing of these policies has already caused my girls a great deal of fear and anxiety because they know how the minds of adolescent boys work.  They both have said they will no longer go to the bathroom or in the locker rooms at school and I am sure that they are not the only female students who feel this way.  If adults truly believe that only those students who \"identify\" as another gender will be the ones taking advantage of these policies they are fooling themselves.  I pray that the depravity of the minds of this world will not take over and allow things like this to happen.  This is not natural, I don't care what anyone says and there is no medical or scientific reason to allow these policies to be put into place.  A biological male or female can \"identify\" however he/she wants and should not feel uncomfortable using the biologically correct restroom as there are stalls that he/she can enter and still have his/her privacy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Each individual should be allowed respect, freedom of choice and not be subjected to physical and emotional harm - period. These policies you, GLSEN and HRC are advocating for our schools, reach far beyond such respect and acceptance. First, redefining gender as defined in the policy is problematic in that it mandates everyone be taught and experience \"freedom from prescripted gender.\" That each child should spend more time desperately trying to define what makes them them, and their biology is irrelevant in that quest. As if kids don't have it hard enough. The irony of the transgender argument is that at its very core is gender stereotyping. We women have fought long and hard to have space that males previously and solely occupied, and now this policy would cede the space back to them (Title IX). To suggest that a woman who likes to weld, motorcross, fish etc. or a boy who likes to cook, sew, prefers pink, or dress up like a princess is neither girl nor boy, but rather neither or something inbetween is still based on stereo types. If I am a motorcross girl, I can still be a woman with biology to create life. I don't need to identify as whatever I think I am (based on stereotypes) in order to be an actualized me. Gender Dysphoria is real for a very small percent of individuals historically. It is a real distaste for one's own body, not just prescripted gender. We can not stop our biology from its intent to carry and give life, or prevent testorone levels to double and triple well beyond the female body at and through puberty - this is prescripted in DNA. We can use advanced technology and hormones to try to prevent our DNA, which some do and some are now living with devastating regret. Where will the schools and government be to support the child on the other side of those physical and emotional challenges? Additionally, this policy does not consider the wholistic needs of a child. If we put a child into a state of living a life at school and hiding that life from parents (deemed non-affirming) as your policy allows for, we have now further harmed the child and the family. If we put girls who have been harmed by boys (#metoo) sharing a room on tour with someone with the other biology it puts them in a place of trauma. Is that fair to them? How about middle school teachers trying to keep track of the appopriate pronoun for the child's ever changing expression? There is no doubt these are difficult challenges for children and adults with dysphoria and a desire for identity expression. Support and care is needed. Adding gender expression as a first amendment protected right and thus requiring educational institutions to explore that right with all children, advocating that biology is irrelevant to those choices and orientations, is a complete overreach of the need to stop discrimination now.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I had the pleasure of living in the fine state of Virginia for a while, in college, and found it to be a beautiful and welcoming place. This proposal, for the protection of trans students in public schools, is in line with the friendly spirit I encountered there. A number of trans friends have enriched my life over the years, from a myriad of backgrounds and ethnicities. Sadly, they all have one thing in common - their school years, which should be a positive time for any young person, were marred by constant mistreatment at the hands of teachers and administrators - who were clueless at best and malevolent at worst. The school system should be a haven of learning and new experiences through one of humankind's greatest gifts: the pursuit of knowledge. Prejudice and bigotry have no place in American educational institutions. And the stakes could not be higher: trans youths are at risk from a greater suicide rate than any other group of Americans. Misunderstanding, hatred, and venom are literally killing these children. The department's approval of this proposal will create an even better environment in Virginia's well-respected public school system. Your support will make such a tremendous and wonderful difference in trans students' lives, letting them study under faculty who have been given the proper tools to help and support them. The proposal will be beneficial for cis students as well, to learn about (and celebrate) one of the many differences interwoven into the patchwork of American diversity. Thank you as a once (and perhaps future) Virginian for the privilege of sharing my comments in support of this extremely important proposal.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If a child feels different about their identity on the inside, they deserve support and LOVE from those around them.  Trans rights are human rights!  Everyone deserves the right to express themselves, and giving kids a safe space to be themselves should be a priority in schools.  If understanding the perspective of trans kids/individuals of all ages is something you struggle with, I encourage you to put yourself in someone else's shoes and read books written by trans people to widen your perspective.  No one is asking you to change your own personal beliefs about what is right for you and your path, but giving children the choice to decide what they want to be shouldn't be something that's up for debate.  Spread the love!  Love your children!  Believe in them and love them for who they are!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In an effort to provide a safe and comfortable option to a segment of the population, the privacy and safety of the entire population is threatened. Given that restrooms and locker rooms are sensitive areas that cannot be monitored effectively due to appropriate privacy concerns, the potential exists for countless uncomfortable and even dangerous situations to arise for students who have no recourse but to allow anyone to enter their private spaces. This policy is in direct conflict with the progress that has been made for women's rights, in particular. The policy appears to have no accountability, such that students who do NOT identify as transgender could simply enter whichever restroom or locker room they wanted - with no recourse available for those students who could be violated in the process. The possibilities of abuse, assault, lewd comments, etc., are predictable and entirely unacceptable. We need to be proactive in our policy making, so as to avoid the potential pain and abuse that this document will generate. I know we can develop better policy to protect all students involved, including the transgender community. For example, if a student is being harassed in any way in the restroom or locker room, it seems a private space should be made available - as outlined in the policy. But allowing anyone to access any restroom or locker room of his/her/their choice is fraught with shortsighted thinking and inevitable and avoidable dangers. Everyone should have access to a safe space for such private activities, and I ask that Virginia rework this policy to make sense for all of the populations under their care.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is important that parents be allowed to speak into their children's lives and help guide them in these most difficult issues. Children often explore roles, gender and other roles, as they grow. It is part of learning who we are and how we fit in with our world. However, we must not throw common sense aside for being progressive. Somethings should go without saying:  biological females and males should not share locker rooms or bathrooms. Students may not change their gender and names from one day to the next. Additionally, It is also unwise and unkind to assume that those who hold to traditional standards are bigoted and/or do not want the very best for youth dealing with these confusing issues, issues that have only become more confusing as we have smudged the lines of what it means to be male and female. Be extremely cautious before making widespread changes in policy. We can be respectful to all without endangering our children and families by normalizing the struggles of a few precious, but confused students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans people are still people! [PLEASE READ.]\nBody:\nTRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS! Trans people don't deserve to be treated like trash just because they decide they don't want to connect with the sex they were born with. Gender is identity, and you can't force someone not to identify as what they want, because in the end being trans does not affect humanity's wellbeing in any harmful way. Let people be whatever they think their gender is. Trans people being forced to be the sex they were born with is harmful to their mental health and can cause suicide, it also further increases the suicide rate in America. Do you really want to bully someone to their own suicide because you were too ignorant to care? I don't think so. Stop the transphobia.

There are tons of reports noting the chronic harassment of transgendered children (and adults alike) and just as many that note the suicide rates due to the harassment. I read a lot of these comments prior to commenting myself and it’s sickening how many people opposing this say they want to “keep things normal” and “don’t want them near their children.” These are children with legitimate identities and the people afraid of change are trying to delegitimize that. That takes away from the potential they have to move forward. Bigotry has no place anywhere but especially not in the education system.

These guidelines present a gender ideology that will promote a totally false view of sexuality to young children.  In addition, it discriminates against all “normal” children.  If there are special needs they need to be handled on a case by case basis as a special need.  It does not make sense to change the policy for the majority to accommodate the needs of a small minority.  These special needs should and can be adequately cared for on a case by case basis and still support their acceptance within the framework of the public school system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Just as cisgendered people do. Period. I see a lot of commenters who oppose this citing their religious freedom. Of course you have the freedom to practice your religion, but that doesn't give you the right to dictate what others do and how they express themselves. That is bigotry and it has no place in the education of our youth as we as a society move forward towards inclusivity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The brain of a male is not fully developed until he is 24 years old.  You are in the process of taking the innocent process of learning into a system which is setting our children up for failure. The I have no plans or intentions of cooperating with the trajectory of this proposal.  It is placing the school system against the overwhelming number of parents.  It fails to protect the persons and experiences of the overwhelming number of children in an attempt to accommodate the mostly temporary delusions of a few. The same thinking that has produced the ‘Snowflake’ generation is running full speed ahead to produce who knows greater confusion, pain and injury.

The Civil Rights movement is a constantly evolving thing, and the trans community specifically has been underserved and left behind by it so far. The ability to let visually and non-visually trans people attend public schools safely and comfortably is a way for us to strengthen community bonds with our neighbors and teach appreciation of diversity at a young age. Unlearning homophobia and the sexism that is present within transphobia that has become inherent in our society should start in early education. Trans students deserve their personal freedoms; peace of mind and freedom of expression. All children should be allowed to explore their gender.  And frankly, this legislation is long overdue.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The purpose actually appears to be toward more social engineering, and promoting the LGBXYZ agenda.  This policy pits parents against child, if the parent doesn't agree with the  \"transgendering\" of the student. Parents are the primary educators of their children.  This policy interferes with that God-given right and responsibility.  So--if the child persists in tranny conversion, and his parents try to talk common sense to him, you, The Mighty State, are going to intervene and take the child out of the home?!!  Back off; you have no right to do so.  You will \"investigate\" the parents and call on the CPS.  What needs investigating, in detail, are the people who wrote this stupid policy.  Surely they will be revealed in all their leftist splendor. \"Male and female He created them.\"  That is all you need to know; anything else is an aberration, or perversion. Sex of a child is \"assigned\" at birth.  There are only TWO:  male or female.  This is TRUTH.  One is male or female even down to the cells in the body!  Wake up, for Heaven's sake.  Repeating a lie does not make it true, ever.   These poor kid,s who \"feel\" like they are the opposite sex, should be referred for mental health counseling.  Johns Hopkins U. and Medical Center have stated that \"transgender\" is a mental health problem.  It appears that the writers and promoters of this stupidity want to continue to turn American society upside down, to cater to a special interest group, again.  Furthermore, you are ignoring the rights of normal students, male and female, who do not need to have this tranny socialist agenda shoved down their throats. I am a retired public school teacher.  No way would I ever go back to teach in the public schools today.  You public school teachers and officials must go back to your mandate, to EDUCATE, not INDOCTRINATE.  If you persist with this policy, you can anticipate students being pulled out of the schools in favor of home-schooling or private schools.  You will lose much of your funding, from citizens' tax money.  You might even be fomenting a tax rebellion if you keep on with such policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is confusing them and causing more and more isolation amongst our youth as they do not even want to interact with these kids now because they fear getting in trouble. Isolation leads to depression. Not knowing what to do when their conscious rightfully tells them that a girl is a girl and a boy is a boy. That we cannot change someone's name or pronoun just because they no longer identify as their given name/pronoun. This is ABSURD! Our youth are confused enough as it is. They need adults who are willing to mentor them and lead them as adults who know simple biology, who can help them to recognize their inherent dignity as male or female, whatever their biological sex is. To say we can  choose our gender is an absolute disgrace and distrust in science and all that is true. What is the deal with all of the language specific to EXCLUDING PARENTAL KNOWLEDGE?! Are the parents the parents, or is the school/government trying to take away that right?! Give me a break!!!! Let the parents be the parents and get the dirty hands of the government off our children! They clearly have NO interest in protecting our youth, and absolutely not moreso than the child's parents! I could go on and on...this whole thing is absolutely nuts!! Parents who clearly know if they had a boy or a girl when they gave birth to their child should be able to raise them as such and not have to give in to their confusion as they grow up. Let them teach them how to be the man or woman that they are and if they need help, let them get professional counseling (that's another whole issue to deal with now that even our therapists are not allowed to do the right thing!). But to think that parents could be reported for neglect or child abuse for raising their child as the gender that they are and refusing to give in to their confusion is WRONG!!!!! This is a matter of FACT not opinion, not feeling, not anything else. Boys are boys. Girls are girls. If we can't agree on this and help our youth to accept their own biology, then how can we expect America to prosper as a nation!? Lord, have mercy!!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I would never condone my children to ever be rude or mean or disrespectful or to bully someone that made this choice. Children have no idea who or what they want to be when they are young. I wanted to be a professional singer. Clearly that's just not possible if you can't sing. I feel allowing transgender in our public schools shouldnt be acceptable. If we are allowing every aspect of life then as a Christian I want God to be taught in school again. If everyone gets a voice then why are the Christians the ones that never get heard. Why does the way someone else feel matter more then the way I do. Highly oppose!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I don't need a teacher deciding what they should and should not disclose to me.  I don't need a teacher telling my child un-truths about the world and promoting gender confusion.  I don't need biological boys using the bathroom with my daughter just as I don't need biological girls using the bathroom with my son.  What I need is for teacher to teach!  That's it.  Teach the math. Teach the language arts.  Teach the social studies.  Teach the science, the real science, not this made up agenda that is currently happening in our society.  As if the pandemic has not hindered our children's education enough we now have this proposal.  It is unbelievable and if passed I look for a mass exodus from the public school system.  When there are no children left in the school system to teach there will be no need for public school teachers.  I think those that are voting on this should think long and hard about the lasting effects of this decision for years to come.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy is not supported by the vast majority of Americans and Virginians and you must not bow to a very small minority's wishes to normalize transgenderism. America already has laws in place to make discrimination of any kind illegal. I urge you to stand strong against any attempt to normalize transgenderism in K-12 education.

The brain of a male is not fully developed until he is 24 years old.  These unfortunate children are suffering from gender confusion, a mental disorder. What’s next, telling bulimic girls they’re fat! This is ridiculous. I have no plans or intentions of cooperating with this nonsense.  The intentions and outcomes of this policy are against the overwhelming number of parents and will cause greater confusion, pain and injury to the already susceptible.

When special interests groups pay their favorite politicians to push policies or agendas that suits them, the rest of the world has to sit back and agree. Virginia public schools can not possibly teach biology correctly when policies goes against science. Grown ups can do whatever they please with their bodies and minds. Let’s allow CHILDREN who can’t vote, can’t drink, can barely remember their homework assignments to make such drastic changes to their bodies. Let’s then make reasonable and logical thinking people pay for it. Should anyone be discriminated against, absolutely not. Certain things should be left to mental health professionals and doctors and not the local PTA!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

God gave these children to their parents to bring them up according to HIs word. \" A gender-neutral dress code will permit boys to wear skirts, and girls to go topless in activities where boys can do so, such as swimming activities or team activities (Draft Policy, p.16).\"  This is disgusting, and yet our school systems have filtering systems in place on student technology devices to prevent them from seeing pornographic material? \"The current state administration is committed to subjecting parents, families and teachers who resist the transgender policies to investigation, criminal charges, loss of job and perhaps more.\" This is really frightening.

Human nature being what it is, children test boundaries in their journey to becoming adults. Oppositional behavior to people in power is common, as is the disproportional influence of peers to children as they go through puberty. There is a phenomenon known as peer contagion which causes children to be influenced by the impact of a member of their peer group. These regulations will provide a positive response from teachers and administrators, bringing attention to the new “outlier” who declares to be gay/transgender/agender and forces the people of power to bend to their will by calling them whatever pronoun they choose. This is an attractive proposition for young, impressionable children, particularly if they are feeling unnoticed and/or powerless. Children and adolescents are smart, though. Once they see how the administration is required to respond, they will begin testing the boundaries. Frivolous declarations will be common, boys will make declarations just to get into girls’ restrooms and locker rooms, or to join girls’ sports teams. This will not end well.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Students can go in whichever restroom or locker room they want? How are students supposed to feel safe when they are undressing not knowing who might walk in the locker room? I feel for people who are genuinely struggling with gender identity, but you are opening this up to let anyone go in even if they are not struggling with gender identity because you will be unable to question the sincerity of their actions. There are so many more things wrong with these policies. Forcing everyone to comply, not allowing for religious exemptions, no parent notification, etc Please do not subject innocent children to this.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We should be talking about teaching inclusion and informing parents on the terrible ramifications of encouraging kids to lean into transgender territory. The ideas being put forward are evil and can truly disrupt the lives of many of our innocent children for the sake of a very small few. We are a charitable people and can show compassion for transgender children on our own accord. We don’t need big government and power hungry teacher unions to dictate how that charity is implemented and makes it to transgender children. The policies being put forward are nothing but identity politics that will be used to further divide our state and disrupt the family, the core unit of America.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The strongest factor in ensuring the survival of LGBTQ+ children and adults is having a SAFE and AFFIRMING environment. We lose so many trans people -- to bullying, harassment, violence, suicide -- and so much of that begins in schools. Applying non-discrimination policies to make sure that trans students are not harassed, attacked, and otherwise have to go every single day to an unsafe and hostile environment, should be an obvious policy. But the exact same arguments against this are the same ones I heard in the 80s and 90s that justified discriminating against gay and lesbian students, only repackaged to apply to trans students. We've seen the harmful effects of anti-gay discrimination versus the benefits of making such bigotry unacceptable in our institutions. We cannot keep repeating the same mistakes. Students deserve to know about trans issues and trans rights. Trans students deserve to have their rights respected and to be able to go to an institution that is safe, not one hostile to their very existence. That starts with making sure discrimination against trans students, just like all discrimination on the basis of race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation, is not given official sanction in schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Statewide Transgender Students Policy\nBody:\nIf this policy is adopted by the state of Virginia, then the state of Virginia will be endorsing, protecting, and participating in child abuse. This policy is boilerplated from GLSEN's Model School District Policy ( https://www.glsen.org/sites/default/files/2019-10/GLSEN-Model-School-District-Policy-Transgender-Gender-Nonconforming-Students.pdf ), which special-interest activists, with a financial and political interest in furthering one minority's priorities over the rights and protections of everyone else, are pushing into schools via bullying, manipulation, and deception. GLSEN's Model School District Policy offers exactly three citations of \"research support\" for its unethical, unsound, and unsafe mandates. Two of these references are based solely on small-sample, self-selected surveys, rather than data gathered from robust research. Furthermore, two of GLSEN's three references originated with GLSEN . This smacks boldly of the same strategy utilized by tobacco companies, wherein they hired \"researchers\" to study the effects of nicotine, then announced that nicotine is not harmful. The contracted \"researchers\" were told ahead of time what results Big Tobacco wanted, and these hired hands complied. We know now that the entire \"study\" was nothing but a well-financed lie. GLSEN is operating from the very same playbook. There is no robust research to support the so-called \"Affirmation-Only\" response to gender-confused children. There is no valid, adequate research to support claims that gender-confused children will commit suicide if they are not affirmed in their delusions. The \"study\" that is cited to support this spurious assertion makes a great number of quantitative and assumptive errors ( https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/09/18/new-study-on-transgender-teen-suicide-doesnt-prove-kids-need-gender-transition-therapy/ ). Even the World Professional Association on Transgender Health indicates on p. 11 of their Standards of Care document ( https://www.wpath.org/media/cms/Documents/SOC%20v7/Standards%20of%20Care%20V7%20-%202011%20WPATH.pdf?_t=1605186324 ) that 77-94% of children will align with their birth sex if allowed to pass through puberty naturally (without puberty blockers, wrong-sex hormones, or surgery). If the organization considered the be the leader in transgender health care does not encourage the social or medical transition of pre-pubescent children, why would anyone else do so? Why would the state of Virginia, and school districts throughout the commonwealth, put into place policies that encourage children to attempt to transition to a different sex? Why would teachers, counselors, and administrators be encouraged to lie to children's parents, as these policies blatantly do? These policies, already being enacted in school districts around the country, defy the Family Education Rights & Protection Act (FERPA), which affirms parents' rights to know everything about their children that the school knows. By what possible legal standard, then, do organizations like the American School Counselor Association tell school counselors \"When contacting the parent/guardian of a transgender or gender-nonconforming student, school staff should use the student’s legal name and the pronoun corresponding to the student’s assigned sex at birth, unless the student or parent/guardian has specified otherwise.\" ( https://www.schoolcounselor.org/Standards-Positions/Position-Statements/ASCA-Position-Statements/The-School-Counselor-and-Transgender-Gender-noncon )? This statement puts all of the authority for a child's wellbeing into the hands of the child and the counselor, because the parents cannot know about their child's alternate gender-identity unless the child has authorized the counselor and school to reveal it. At what age is a child ready to assume such responsibility for him or herself? The age of majority in the United States is 18. According to FERPA the parents have authority over the child's school records until s/he turns 18. How does the state of Virginia rationalize overturning FERPA in this matter? This policy flies in the face of parental rights, and gives the school greater authority over children than the parents have. This policy undermines Title IX, granting girls the right to same-sex spaces and same-sex competition in sports. How will the state determine who is transgender? What is the litmus test or standard for that? This policy makes self-identification the only standard. In Utah this week a boy entered the girls bathroom at school and told a girl that was uncomfortable with his presence that he's a girl now. He wasn't and he isn't. ( https://www.partnersforethicalcare.com/post/but-this-never-happens-happens-all-the-time) Here are more questions I have about this policy. Until each of these can be answered in a way that insures that protections and rights of every student will be addressed and protected, this policy should be torn up and thrown away: 1. What is a transgender student? How is a transgender student identified? Is a transgender student someone who has begun to transition medically? hormonally? socially? Can someone be labeled \"transgender\" simply by self-identifying as such? Who diagnoses a student as transgender? Is it the student, or a teacher, counselor, or other staff member? If a student can self-diagnose for gender identity, can a student also self-diagnose other conditions, such as dyslexia, autism, trans-racial identity, Tourrettes Syndrome, or PTSD? 2. What is a gender-neutral bathroom? Is it a room that has had the male/female signs removed? Is it a single-user bathroom? Is it a bathroom with stall walls floor to ceiling? How will bathrooms be brought into compliance with gender-neutral status? What is the budget for that? If single-user bathrooms are stigmatizing to transgender students why would they not also be stigmatizing to non-transgender students? Why is it acceptable to ask a non-transgender student to use a single-user bathroom if it is NO... [truncated]\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Transgender students deserve to have their education protected and to be treated with equal respect. It is our job to make sure that when a student walks into school each day their main priority is to learn and grow. Every day that Virginia fails to protect and encourage transgender students is a day when Virginia fails to provide high-quality, cutting edge education to all. In order to serve our future, we must serve our students - and that INCLUDES our transgender students. I strongly encourage the state of Virginia to take all necessary steps to provide transgender students the education and protections they need and deserve.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It also hinders parents from active involvement in the life of their child at school. The proposed guidance document violates the presumption of parental autonomy in Virginia. Code Sec. 1-240.1 provides that a parent has the fundamental right to make decisions concerning the upbringing, education and care of the parent’s child. The proposed regulations provide no accommodations for students and teachers whose sincerely and deeply held religious beliefs and understanding of gender and human sexuality are not in accord with the views underlying the proposed policies. Protect the privacy and human rights of all students by keeping boys out of girls' locker rooms and protect their God-given identity. There will be no way to protect students under those new policies. They will have a \"right\" to enter any restroom or locker room they choose. It will be impossible to protect the innocence of students. Let gender questions be handled by parents, not the school system. Stop confusing the majority of students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I see absolutely no reason why students should not be given the respect of being called by the names and pronouns they want to be called by--calling a trans kid by their chosen name instead of their deadname is no different than calling a kid named Michael by Mike if that's what they prefer...except that in the case of the trans kid, it will significantly impact their mental health to not be constantly treated as though they are not worth that respect. As for providing trans and non-binary students with a place to feel comfortable changing clothes and using the bathroom, I do not understand the problem that people have with this. It literally impacts no one but the student to offer a gender-neutral space where they can feel comfortable taking care of private matters, and for those people so concerned with trans students using the bathrooms or locker room they feel most comfortable in, I would like to know why their cisgender students' comfort rates more thought and respect than the comfort of the trans students. If they have such concerns about their cis daughters having \"a boy\" in the locker room with them, how do they think a trans girl is going to feel being stuck in a locker room with a bunch of boys? I guarantee these students all just want to use the bathroom/get into their gym uniforms in peace, and providing them with a neutral place to do so or allowing them to use the locker room where they will be most comfortable hurts no one. It's so important for kids to grow up feeling accepted for who they are, and to see others who are not like them as being people deserving of respect and kindness. We hear all the time about teen suicide rates, etc., and taking even these tiny steps to make school a safer and more inclusive place will not only allow students to feel like they are not being ostracized or punished for being true to themselves, but will also teach others that different is not bad or wrong. We can't rely on parents to teach this all by themselves, because obviously there are a lot of parents out there who won't. Making schools a place where inclusivity and kindness are observable and practiced will help normalize being accepting of differences so that kids who don't have that modeled elsewhere in their lives will perhaps still be able to internalize that lesson.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am currently in my fourth year in college and I am part of the Executive Board in Spectrum, the LGBTQ+ organization at Christopher Newport University. I hold the positions of Historian and Events Chair in this group. I find it so vital for Virginia to have schools that are supportive and inclusive to transgender and nonbinary students, because to this day there are individuals in academic settings where they aren’t being respected to the best degree that they deserve. This proposed guidance would definitely make a difference to those who are students in the TGNCNB community because they deserve to belong in school and not have to consider going somewhere else just because someone discriminates and/or violates their identity. This proposed rule will make Virginia schools a better place to learn for transgender and nonbinary students, which creates a better learning environment for all. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students. Sincerely, EJ Mojica\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are multiple reasons why this should not become policy. 1.You cannot guarantee that my son or daughter will not be and or feel harassed, threatened or intimidated by these policies.  You are only trying to protect the \"transgender\" community. 2. What about my children? What about their rights?  What about their safety and protection?  My daughter will NOT be changing in front of a boy for PE class, & the same goes for my son (with a girl present). He will definitely NOT be using a urinal when a girl is present in the bathroom. How will you prevent a boy who is not transgender to enter the girls restroom or changing room?  What about a (non-transgender) girl that enters the boys bathroom and then claims that she was forced in by the boy & he touched her (which really didn't happen but because he's now dating her best friend she's mad and wants to hurt him).  I know these sound like silly scenarios, but have you thought about this?  Have you been around these kids?  Because I have, I worked for CPS and I've seen how kids can be manipulative, dishonest and have no regard for authority or rules. I can guarantee you that if a boy/girl enters a restroom/changing room where my daughter/son is, that they will be taking names and immediately leaving and reporting it to the administration. We in return will be filing criminal charges. 3. Cell phones are now allowed everywhere in schools.  How will you protect my children from boys/girls who will use this policy to gain access to locker rooms and restrooms in guise of being transgender so that they can take pictures and videos?  Yes, disciplinary actions can be taken, but as you know, pictures and videos on the internet are there forever.  This would be another lawsuit brought against the school, district and even VDOE for implementing this policy. 4. You think you can accuse my child of bullying or harassment and face disciplinary action for not calling a student by their \"preferred pronoun\"?  You are highly delusional.  If you think you can question and discipline my child regarding anything in this proposed policy, without my knowledge, you are highly delusional.  If you think I won't file charges against the school, district and VDOE regarding this practice, you are highly delusional. 5. You want the dress code to no longer state \"skirt, camisole...) and instead it would state \"clothing must be worn in a way such that genitals, buttocks and nipples are covered with opaque material\" .  This demonstrates how out of touch you all are with reality and how the students behave in school.  You understand that changing the wording will allow students to wear very short skirts and tops, sheer tops, boxers, bathing suits, singlets and tank tops, just to name a few. Not only will it allow them to wear those but they will be able to show as much as they want as long as we don't see a nipple, penis, vagina or buttocks.   By changing this policy you are leaving teachers and administrators with absolutely NO grounds to discipline a child for a dress code violation because in reality, there is NO dress code to follow.  I used to be a substitute and a teacher's assistant CPS at a high school, I've already seen this and you haven't made it policy yet. This is discriminatory and should not become policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Full support.\nBody:\nOne of my kids is trans, and a 9th grader in a Norfolk shogun School. At school they have been called every homophobic or transphobic slur you could imagine. They have been excluded by their peers in every conceivable way. As parents, we had no way of updating student records to correct name, pronouns, or gender before beginning classes each year (thankfully, most individual teachers have been very supportive in this regard.) Any resources to make school more accessible and safer for our students are appreciated, but action is needed to ensure that ALL students have a safe, constructive, and nurturing environment on the classroom. Some  (probably “well-meaning”) people in this conversation have voiced concerns about trans people assaulting others in bathrooms or somehow making schools less safe. There is NOT ONE documented incident of a trans person attempting to assault another person in a bathroom or locker room within the last decade. There are, however, countless examples of trans people being harassed, having their privacy invaded, being thrown out of establishments, or even being assaulted for the sake of this complete unfounded straw-man argument of transgender people assaulting others. It’s completely nonsensical and bogus. But the reality is that trans kids are significantly MORE likely to be assaulted, more likely to commit suicide, more likely to experience homelessness, and less likely to graduate high school and/or college than cis-students. We have to do more to deconstruct the institutional barriers we have long propped up against the LGBTQIA+ community.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Public education systems have the responsibility of serving all of our students. To do this, they simply must provide responsive, inclusive, and safe learning environments. This kind of proposal is much needed, and frankly, overdue. Virginia, join your fellow state, Oregon, in establishing a strong base for student rights and care. Policies that actively support transgender students are associated with higher rates of school attendance, higher academic achievement, and improvements in both mental and physical health for our student population. These policies lift up learning for our communities and families, and protect young people from hate. This is an opportunity to aid in achieving peace and security for all American students. This work never ends, and Oregon continues to learn more and do more, just as Virginia can. As public entities serving our diverse communities, we should always act with the most vulnerable students in mind. This policy would protect previously vulnerable students and create safer, more inclusive learning environments. All students who have ever felt vulnerable can benefit from this work.

Students under 16 are not of an age to determine that their \"chosen\" gender is different from their anatomy.  Teenage years are hard enough and indoctrinating children who have no gender confusion issues is wrong.

The simple act of calling someone by their preferred name is proven to lower suicide rates of trans teens, the group with the highest rates. Reducing mental stress and anguish of our students needs to be a priority of the community as a whole. It is much better to pass this, save lives, and upset a small minority than to placate the people it does not even impact. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy does not infringe on the rights of those who do not identify as Transgender. There are parents claiming that this infringes on their ability to teach children what their families believe about sex and gender, it does not. All this policy does, is protect children who do identify as Transgender from harm. It provides a framework that states they cannot be discriminated against for identifying as Transgender. It states they can be identified by their desired gender in official records and by school officials. It states that they have the right to keep their medical history private and follow the dress code of the gender they identify with. It also allows them to use the school facilities of the gender they identify with. None of these policies infringe on your family's right to raise your children how you believe. None of these policies are about teaching your children what to believe. It is common sense that children should be protected from harm, transgender students have special needs that are not addressed by the current school policies. This policy will ensure that they will get that protection. There is no reason not to pass this policy and no reason to not support it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

How many people feel comfortable with people of the opposite biological sex sharing bathrooms, locker rooms, and hotel rooms. How many predators may use these new liberties to prey upon innocent children.  How many biological boys will switch to a female gender identity to compete in girls’ sports and eliminate traditional female competition? Before creating permanent regulations, which will impact non transgendered students as well, there should be greater public information and debate about what is being proposed. Parents need to consider how their own children will be impacted in school and beyond with the bombardment of transgender indoctrination. I have worked with preteens and teens as a counselor for over 20 years and have seen a lightning rod rise in what appears to be gender confusion.  This was notmuch of an issue even 5-10 years ago. Why the rise?  Why are so many children unhappy with who they are?  I believe most of the students who want to transgender have had adverse childhood experiences that have negatively affected who they are, from divorce to rape. These are things that need to be looked at, not changing genders.  And this is not just male to female or female to male, there are a ridiculous number of 50 +, and growing, identities that sound like something from a science fiction novel.  I would suggest anyone who wants to understand what may be happening, from all perspectives, read Irreversible Damage.  One of the questions this book presents is: why are adolescent girls finding solace in the transgender movement when they identified with typical “girl” ways of being in their childhood years.  Why is this “fad” insidiously affecting our girls. What I have personally found from talking with students is their social status rises with new titles from bisexual to transgendered.  This feeling of importance increases endorphinsand produces a sense of well-being, but also forms a possible pathway to destruction.  Some people will say children have to transgender to keep them from suicidal ideation, but the reality is that they continue with depression and suicidal thoughts even through the process and beyond, because the core issue of their confusion is not being addressed.  And, why would any person be encouraged to take dangerous drugs and have surgeries on perfectly healthy body parts to try to find happiness. As a counselor and having the wisdom of life as a person in my 60’s, why aren’t we trying to help children find ways for their brains, feelings, and identities, to match their God given bodies, which are biologically either male or female – PERIOD!   The biological sex does not change over time, only strange distortions of themselves. Get to the root of the Transgender phenomenon, don’t cover it with hormones, surgeries and self-destructiveness.  Save our children – both transgendered confused and intact identity children!!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Having diversity in schools teaches acceptance of differences and hardships that others face. This policy would create a safer learning environment for these students who just want to be able to learn in a place they feel comfortable in. Schools are supposed to support their students in whatever way they want to express themselves. Schools should be a safe place for a student to learn about others and themselves.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Transgender kids should not have to go throughout life with their identity constantly erased. Policies that support trans kids are associated with higher rates of school attendance, higher academic achievement, and improvements in both mental and physical health. Protection for trans kids do not have to come at the expense of cisgender kids. Imbalanced power structures are what allow kids to be abused, not protections for vulnerable minorities. This policy would allow for a safer and more effective learning environment.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Beyond ridiculous that you would require (and hold responsible) students and employees to use incorrect, imprecise, and flagrantly false language to describe some with a psychological problem.  Tired of LIBERAL POLICIES designed to decay our society further and further.  Nothing correct or noble about it.  The reality is that you will push more and more conservative families out of public schools because you can't  help yourselves. You just have to force people to swallow your poison pills.  Secondly, there is NOTHING to be prideful about with anything related to LGBTQ.  These remain psychological problems for those individuals.  I'd prefer to demonstrate compassion for these individuals but it's difficult to do so when absolute lies and distortions are coming out of the woodwork; it's also difficult when these issues are forced on people who have legitimate moral objections to them.  I'm not jumping into a delusional person's fantasyland nor will I permit my kids to do so either.  I will never call them by what they elect to be called when it's against nature and reason.  To do so is actually HARMFUL AND NOT COMPASSIONATE.  It is not brave to \"come out\" as transgender; nothing \"heroic\" about it (another liberal lie).  Public Schools are failing for a number of reasons....this is simply another reason why they should be de-funded or money siphoned from them and given to legitimate school choice programs/vouchers.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Also, children aren’t just automatically ok with or mature enough to deal with biological differences. If we do this, we will be guilty of gross negligence toward our children’s safety, mental health, and stress levels in school environments.

Even if they are not affirming, they should still be included in discussions with the school system about their child. Page 19 says “local school boards may need to review agreements and processes with community partners for any activities taking place on school grounds to ensure consistency in practices.” Does that mean a church would not be allowed to rent space in a school facility if they are not transgender-affirming? In the name of including non-cisgender students in sex-segregated activities and use of facilities with cisgender students (Pages 17-18), it is not clear that full consideration has been given to the cisgender students and the effects of these policies on their participation. For instance, if a biological male is changing clothes with biological females, what about the effects that has on the biological females? Having a few individual private areas does not sufficiently account for the effects on, for instance, the majority of young female middle school students having someone who is still biologically male in the same room while they are changing clothes. What about times in those circumstances when there is no adult supervision in the room such as when a teacher's role is being covered by a substitute teacher? The activity policies (Page 16) are being implemented in the name of inclusion, yet in many instances the net effect may result in excluding gender-based activities altogether. With regard to bullying (Pages 9-11), there are many of us who agree on principle that bullying is wrong and should not be allowed. The question is what constitutes bullying? My concern is does or could it include disagreeing with transgender ideas in general? If someone were to claim that what is called “cisgender” or “sex assigned at birth” is the only gender, would that count as bullying? It should not.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Trans students deserve safe and engaging learning environments. Any person opposing this guidance is dangerous and transphobic. Statistics from a study recently published by the American Academy of Pediatrics revealed alarming levels of attempted suicide among transgender youth. The findings emphasize the urgency of building welcoming and safe communities for LGBTQ young people, particularly for transgender youth. This is about nothing more than providing support for the vulnerable students in our communities. These protections will help facilitate a positive and inviting learning environment for all students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Many youth who are \"transitioned\" before they are adults regret their \"decisions\" but are silenced. Schools should never come between children and parents by acting as guardians due to identity politics. The consequences of sterilizing children and committing them to irreversible damage and bodily harm will be severe. Let kids be kids -- don't force them to conform to adult political agendas. The LGBT, Inc (HRC/SPLC/ACLU, etc.) war against children and families harms all children and all families.

Even more disturbing, they also found  that one episode of LGBT victimization, such as physical or verbal harassment or abuse, increases the likelihood of self-harming behavior by 2.5 times on average. Training and equipping schools to be able to provide the support, resources, and protection for trans students will literally save lives.

As a non-binary student, I have lived experiences with discrimination in school settings and can confirm the importance of validation of your gender identity by educational institutions. We can only experience a positive learning environment when we are able to use our preferred names and pronouns and when this is respected by your peers and professors. GLSEN's 2019 National School Climate Survey shows that transgender and nonbinary students feel less safe at school and miss school more often because of feeling unsafe compared to their cisgender peers. Transgender and nonbinary students also report higher rates of victimization and discrimination than their peers, especially regarding respect for their names and pronouns and access to bathrooms and locker rooms. Transgender and nonbinary students should feel safe and included in their learning communities. No one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against in their school, which is a place where they are supposed to be able to learn and be a part of a community that accepts them for who they are. Schools teach students how to succeed but they also teach students how to treat each other. This proposed rule will make Virginia schools a better place to learn for transgender and nonbinary students, which creates a better learning environment for all.  Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students. Sincerely, Jules Onrubia\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

More compromise/thought is needed.\nBody:\nI appreciate the desire of trans kids to use their preferred bathroom inconspicuously. I agree they should be able to use the bathrooms they are most comfortable using. In fact, all kids deserve to feel safe and protected--and to actually be protected-- when in intimate proximity to other kids. And it is the school system's duty, no less, to safeguard ALL kids from physical and sexual harm. This legislation ensures that trans kids will use their bathroom (locker room, overnight hotel room, etc.) of choice, which is good, but renders teachers impotent to confront any individual who is not trans, who might knowingly, for predatory purposes, exploit the new, looser guidelines. As I understand these guidelines, a student does not have to make any credible case of transgenderism in order to gain entrance to any other facility: all that person needs to do is walk in. It shows a shocking lack of knowledge of the opportunistic way predators operate--indeed, of the way unformed adolescent brains operate-- to believe that all students will automatically approach this new laxity in good faith, especially when they know that teachers are impotent to stop them. Any teacher who attempts to question any youth for entering one of these facilities for any reason is to be punished. Think of the message this sends any individual tempted to flout the spirit and intent of this new law. The gender-based separation of bathrooms, up to now, has afforded school systems the benefit of a built-in automatic, noninvasive obstacle/deterrent against potential sexual predation/mischief--one that was easy to enforce if violated. Obviously, this system was not sufficient to protect all students--notably trans students, so a solution needed to be sought. However, when we remove ALL differentiated designation from these areas, there needs to be some other, more intentional, safeguard effected to take its place--not a total renunciation of any vigilance. Involving some sort of process, analogous to an IEP, perhaps, would at least somewhat help answer the concerns of parents and students. I'm not sure exactly how this process could then be used to discreetly grant access to particular students, but it seems it should possible to find a way to enable teachers to find out privately whether a student in a certain bathroom should or should not be there, without that teacher having to question the student face-to-face. Also, allow schools to include bathrooms and locker rooms similar to those at rec centers in our area--similar to the \"family\" bathrooms--which are smaller and more private (and more desirable, let's face it), and can be used by anyone, but their priority is to be used in situations outside the usual split between genders. Anyone can have access to them, which removes stigma from their use by particular individuals. Students should be encouraged only to use them in emergency situations, if at all possible, to ensure that they remain available to those who need them most. The other traditionally designated bathrooms could still be there. My other objections to these new guidelines have to do with the heavy-handedness with which teachers and students are being compelled to conform to them. While I realize these measures are motivated by sincere compassion for those with gender dysphoria, and a desire to shield them from anxiety and harm, including self-harm--which are noble and loving reasons--1. I have doubts in the theory in which they are based (much more [unbiased] research needs to be done), 2. I do not know for a fact that they are truly helpful to the trans person, and 3. I object to the draconian methods that are being sought to enforce them. I can agree with the sentiment, \"I understand you are having trouble feeling you are the gender that matches with your anatomy; I am terribly sorry that you are feeling grief and pain over this situation. I wish there was some way I could help.\" [Note: I'm not saying that I would actually address someone openly using these words.] That is a compassionate stance. But the legislation pushes us all to make the leap to: \"Therefore, I believe you are the gender you desire to be,\" which is what we are saying when we use a preferred pronoun. This is a huge leap. My conscience grieves me when I do this, because it disconnects my words from the truth of what I believe. That disconnect is the very definition of lying. Policy that is based upon deception is bad policy.  I deeply wish to avoid further deceiving someone with gender dysphoria. Not because I hate, but because I care, and I can't help but wonder if this is a bandaid solution for a problem with a deeper root cause. I understand that the situation calls for delicacy and that feelings of the students involved can be fragile, but there must be a way that can be found in which all parties can feel comfortable. I don't pretend to be an expert in what works, but I don't believe an acceptable solution has been reached with this legislation. If only a compromise could be found in which a teacher (or student) could choose to use only gender-neutral pronouns and avoid the use of first names in class when referring to all students. This way, he/she could avoid singling out any transgender student as different while preserving his/her own personal integrity and religious beliefs (e.g., that God gives us our gender identity, and that it is good). Alas, there was recently a case in Fairfax County in which a teacher attempted just this measure as a compromise, and the upshot was, he was fired. I feel that there should be some leeway--some openness to compromise, without zero tolerance policies. All parties deserve to be comfortable. Teachers should not be required, as they are with this legislation, to lie to parents. It literally calls for a plan that \"may include [teachers] addressing the student at school with their asserted name and pronoun while using the legal name and pronoun associated with the sex assigned at birth when commun...

School should be a safe, nurturing, and welcoming space for ALL students - especially those students who are most at-risk and marginalized like trans students. Schools that are inclusive for trans and nonbinary students are more inclusive for cisgender students as well. Trans students do not pose a danger to cisgender students; in fact, trans students are more likely to be the victims of abuse and misconduct. Allowing trans students to participate in the PE class that matches their lived identity, participate on sports teams that match their lived identity, and use restrooms that match their lived identity takes nothing away from cisgender students. I fully recognize that schools must make policies that balance the needs and freedoms of all students - however, those decisions should never come at the cost of student health and wellbeing. The suicide rate among trans youth is staggering. School is the only safe space that some students have, especially if their family is not supportive of their gender identity. They deserve safe, affirming, and supportive school experiences. The Model Policies help schools accomplish that, and take nothing away from the needs and experiences of cisgender children like mine. In fact, I want my children to learn and interact with peers who are able to live as their true authentic selves.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

To the people who object this, I am NOT trans as a choice. This is who I am and I have been a girl since before I could talk. The only issues I have came from years of hiding my true identity and pretending to be a boy ehen I am really a girl, which caused me to become severely depressed and nearly commit suicide. I am much happier now as my real self, and I can now function as a contributing citizen for the first time in my life. Being transgender is NOT an agenda, choice, sin or anything else. It is just like being black or white...everyone is different. With a little bit of education on the topic from trans organizations you will see that it has been not only scientifically proven to not be a choice but allowing us to be our real selves lets us be happy, productive citizens who don't go around wanting to kill themselves on a daily basis. Plus, no sex offender or pedophile is gonna pretend to be the opposite sex just so they can pray on someone. They will simply go in as themselves. Seriously, this is 2021 and transphobia is not okay anymore and should not be accepted. All I want is to be me. I'm not worried about anyone's genitals in the bathroom or locker room, all I want to do is to do my business and leave, comfortably. Please pass this bill for not just me but the other student's mental health and lives. Because this does and WILL save innocent lives from suicide.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Research suggests that inclusive school policies for LGBT youth is associated with less truancy for ALL youth and higher grades for transgender youth (Day et al., 2019). Research also suggests that transgender students in schools with supportive policies feel greater belonging to their school communities (Kosciw et al., 2018). This proposition will benefit ALL students. References: Day, J. K., Ioverno, S., & Russell, S. T. (2019).

Any support and resources that we can give to these students to make their life even the tiniest better is a huge step in the right direction. We need protections for these students and to support their identities. Claims of bathroom harassment or any other “advantages” these students might gain are simply false and have been disproven time and time again. Let’s continue to strive to make schools a safe place for all students, and strive for a diversity and acceptance where students will feel like less than an “other” and realize they are accepted exactly the way they are.

It imposes impossible expectations on children to adapt immediately to fluid pronouns and to be comfortable in vulnerable environments like bathrooms and locker rooms with those with different body parts. I don’t want any child to feel rejected or misunderstood, so current rules against bullying and harassment are valuable and sufficient. Anything more is prioritizing one people group over another and that is always detrimental to society. Our children need to learn to coexist with each other despite our differences. This policy weaponizes one preference over another. It will not protect our children nor benefit their development.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Every student has basic human rights and you can't micromanage a certain special interest group's treatment to the detriment of all the other children. These are CHILDREN - still growing and developing and learning who they are.  DO NOT push them and put them into defined identities - DO YOUR JOB and teach them reading, writing, arithmetic!  There are too many under-educated young people in the work world today because schools have gotten away from their basic mission. Another point to be considered is, would you like some of these gender-confused students or their families to sue the schools, teachers, counselors, etc. that pushed them into a gender identity that they later rescind?  Suppose they mutilate their bodies, or worse yet, are driven to suicide?  Have you read about the lawsuit in Great Britain? This is an ugly can of worms that needs to be discarded.  Like I said before, schools need to return to their core mission.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My children are unaffected by sharing locker rooms and restrooms with trans and non-binary students. Their peers are also unaffected and not worried about this. This isn't an issue for the students, it is an excuse for adults to throw vitriolic statements at families of LGBTQ children. The truth is, and I suspect everyone involved with this process already knows, that our youth are in crisis. They are taking their own lives, dying by suicide in numbers that should alarm everyone. LGBTQ youth that are supported at home and school are 40% less likely to consider suicide than those who are not in supportive situations. This should be the basis from which we work forward. My children have lost friends that have died by suicide. We know many families that have children who have received inpatient care at pediatric mental health facilities due to overwhelming depression and anxiety. I have lost count of the students that have decided to home school or go to homebound education because their experiences at school have been so awful. All of these students identify as LGBTQ. It can't just be a coincidence. This guidance means more protection for youth. This guidance forces schools to adapt and educate their teachers and administrators about the challenges faced by our youth. This isn't going away. This isn't some fad or phase. We will either adapt or we will continue harming our children. I speak from experience, I speak from a place of knowledge and pain. I also have hope and continue to work for the best outcome for all LGBTQ students in Virginia.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is an appalling ideological takeover by the state to force a view of human sexuality that does not permit acceptance of differing views held by parents or students. The proposed policy will not help kids acquire a healthy understanding of sexuality and how to properly and respectfully relate to one another.  Instead of negating confusion about gender, this policy will only generate confusion, not only about sex but will insinuate its unfounded and dangerous perspective into many areas of life. What is the real purpose of introducing such a hurtful idea of human sexuality to kids?  What is the Department of Education trying to achieve?  What is the hidden agenda of these public servants?  Public education should not be a source of danger to our kids, but it is definitely on that track.  Public school students are no longer being educated (i.e., taught skills and knowledge to prepare them to be responsible adults in the world); they are being indoctrinated into an ideology by those who deem themselves better qualified than parents or legal guardians who don’t subscribe to their way of thinking. As you might conclude, I am opposed to the proposed transgender policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If parents want to encourage transgender identity and ideas with their kids, I am not one to decide for them. If I do not want my children to believe or participate in the transgender ideology, then no one, nor the State, should have the authority to decide what is best for my family or deny my right to believe in the religion of my choice. The State in no way would condone or include Christianity as \"law\" in the public school system. But they are choosing for families that the right to religious freedom is not as important as their beliefs. It is an obvious violation of the Constitution declaring I have a right to choose my religion. To label a person or parents as abusers for not encouraging the States views, is also a violation of my right to freedom of speech as an American.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Wisdom and common sense can come with age as you observe cause and effect and see many ruined lives.  Some people look at the short term but I have seen what happens long term and many health professionals are waking up to the fact that wrong policies like this one have detrimental effects 10-15 years later.  The studies are just coming out and since they don't fit the popular narrative, people are being cancelled and having violence against them.  This policy is wrong and very detrimental to the health and well being of our precious children.  It also is detrimental to the families.  I strongly oppose this action! There are reasons why we don't allow children to make legally binding decisions that may hurt and impact them for life. We learned long ago that pornography was bad for the mental health of children.  This new policy is much worse! It would appear that this policy was designed by highly educated pedophiles.  Having much education does not mean you have gained common sense!  As with many ideas, there will be unintended consequences. Here is what I see happening if this is implemented: increased chaos in schools There will be fewer talented, caring teachers choosing to go into or stay in the Public school system. Schools will be forced to violate Parental rights Schools will be violating students safety and security (increase in sex abuse incidents) Parents who oppose pedophilia will now have to endorse it Those who are able and truly care about their children's mental health will pull their children out and find and alternative education like correspondence school, private school or home school. This policy will hinder rather than help children get a solid education that will prepare them for responsible adulthood. This policy should not be implemented! It is like a fad that has not been thoroughly researched for long term outcomes!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have not against transgender individuals, I believe it is none of my business what another human chooses to do with their life. However, my children's safety is my number 1 priority. I fear that if this becomes allowed for transgender women and men to go into bathrooms of their opposite biological gender there will be predators using this new law as a way to enter a bathroom to commit a crime. No I am not saying that actual transgender individuals will be committing these acts, but I do believe that this will be a huge gateway for predators to take advantage and enter men and women's bathrooms with the intent to harm women, men and children simply because now they are allowed to enter bathrooms of the opposite sex. I think a solution better suited would be a single stalled bathroom, like how some stores/restaurants have a family bathroom, to be able to be used for transgender individuals to keep everyone safe, including the transgender men and women.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As written, any biological male can declare as identifying as a female and enter female locker rooms and bathrooms at will? That is completely unacceptable. Young girls and women deserve to have their rights and their privacy protected.  They should never be placed in an environment where a biological male can enter and make them uncomfortable or put them in a potential position of something bad happening.  The unfortunate truth in this world is that people will take advantage of this policy in order to cause fear or harm.  I support transgenders having a space where they are comfortable, but not at the expense of everyone else.  There must be a better solution. Perhaps providing separate bathrooms or locker rooms, entered in a separate location from the other bathrooms and locker rooms, but afforded the same protections as far as bullying or targeting which will not be tolerated.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My daughter should never be required or allowed to share a restroom or changing room with a biological male.  It's incredible to me that I would even need to voice this concern. Do any of people drafting this type of thing have kids?  Why would you even consider putting the school ahead of the parents.  Don't we have rights too? Teachers have a hard enough time dealing with kids.  Why in the world would you complicate their lives more with this pronoun issue?  Why would you create an environment that will increase the threat of litigation when schools can't even pay for school supplies needed in the classroom? If this plan is actually implemented I will have no choice but to pull my kids from public schools.  Like many in my shoes I'm already concerned that I pay property taxes towards school but have no choice in how/where those dollars are spent.  Policy as you propose here will certainly provide tremendous energy behind the movement for school vouchers.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Unfortunately, this documents doesn't do that. Students who identify as male and female based on birth/genetics are forced to accept restroom and locker room conditions, where a transgender can say one day they are a certain sex and enter freely, and the next day change and enter the opposite facility - how is that safe and respectful for all students. Students who identify according to birth no longer have the right to wear gender identifiable clothing for school programs (chorus, orchestra, etc.), such as males wearing ties and females wearing dresses, because transgenders may be offended - how is that fair? Isn't the school system discriminating against birth identified males and females. Will teachers and non-transgender students be disciplined when they don't call the transgender person by the correct name for that day, week, month, etc., because the transgender can select his  identified name at his/her whim. Also, you cannot deny the problem with males who identify as females competing in sports against birth females - where is the fairness and safety in that. These guidelines are discriminatory, unfair, and unsafe for the majority of birth male and female students -  Why isn't the school system standing up for them?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These policies are not promoting “gender confusion” but the basic rights and safety of transgender students. As an LGBT person who themselves went through the public school system, I am delighted to see policy change. Nobody chooses to be transgender. Nobody chooses to be bullied by their peers and “community” adults.

Science shows you cannot biologically change one's gender. It goes down to the X and Y-chromosome. You can change the outside of the package, but in no way can you change inside. Also regarding his comment on religion, as a Catholic, we are taught that God-created man and woman. That's it.  God also teaches us to love and respect everyone. Perhaps Mr. Wade has heard 'love the sinner, hate the sin'. What these people are doing is considered a sin in our religion, however, we are to treat everyone with love, dignity and respect.We should be permitted to refer to transgender students by their first name. We should not be forced to use a pronoun which we know is not true. That causes us to be a part of the sin. The school board should not be inside our homes advising us how to raise our children. And before everyone jumps on my comments, notice that I stated we should treat everyone with love, dignity and respect. We can do that by referring to the transgender student using their first name.

Kids have a choice to a certain point however its up to the parents to override some of there decisions and I believe this is one of them. This transgender policy will make a lot of misunderstandings with other students in the school systems. Some may not understand why some children are in the bathroom, locker room, and other areas that are already separated now. Also it will have too many sexual differences and against policies in schools. If any decision has to be made or even voted on, then it should be left as is. God didn't intend individuals to take upon themselves to change there sex from what He made them to be in the first place. They should be happy for who they actually are from birth. They are loved all the time even if others doesn't love them. This will cause plenty of confusion when it comes to what to call them as a pronoun. They are individuals that has feelings, thoughts, and may have a mental state of what may be real and people doesn't see that what is going on with them deep down. All they need is maybe someone to talk with, need help from a counselor, and also could be needing a friend that won't look at them differently as others do. This is wrong and besides there are other important things to discuss rather than this petty things like this issue. I mean why upset other students that this issue doesn't pertain to. School systems needs to also think about other students and not just the ones that are different like transgender students. The other students didn't tell them to make that choice so don't force the ones that are not transgender students to accept this because of your vote on this issue. Would you like to be forced to be faced on a daily basis on other people's decisions. If not then don't make our children do it either.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is seems like a trap for teachers with the mandates about names.  Teacher positions on these matters must be taken into account in the policy to find solutions that respect them and ensure their safety. The policy needs to guarantee the rights of school employees whose religious beliefs differ regarding transgenderism and exceptions from the mandates outlined in the policy. The policy needs to recognize the rights of parents over their children and their education.  The policy needs to guarantee that any discussion about these matters is brought to the attention of parents.  Parents have the right to guide their children’s education.  The policy should explicitly guarantee parents have the right to opt their children out of any education about gender or sexual orientation or any sex education.  The school does not have the right to determine what is best for the children, but the parents do. Without these guarantees for the parents, it seems the schools could be encouraging the deceit of parents. The policy must respect and protect the privacy of boys and girls who do not want to change clothes in the presence of the opposite sex, nor want to be exposed to the opposite sex as might happen in a restroom.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Gender identity disorder or gender dysphoria is a mental disorder just like anorexia or bulimia and should be considered as such.  Normalizing this disorder is dangerous for youngsters who are already dealing with the normal stresses of growing up. The last thing they need to do is wonder if they are the “right gender” or if being the other gender (yes there are only 2 genders) will make them more popular, feel happier etc. kids question enough about themselves this will just make it worse make it worse.

The Parental authority over their own children is neither abrogated nor conferred upon to departments of education , school boards, principal’s, teachers, staff etc., at any school; nor are the parental responsibilities, rights and natural laws that they choose for their families, diminished or to be superseded. The departments of education, school boards, principal’s, teachers, staff etc., are public servants; appointed, elected, or hired to follow the mandates of the parents in any particular city, town, county, state in which they serve. Additionally, if parents and children want to depart from the natural, created, and scientifically obvious biological order of being born male or female, then so be it; but let no public official insist or seek to legislate away this natural order of male or female over any parent. The person who wishes to change their biological gift, or those who seek to live this lifestyle are free to do so, but do not infer or insist that their right to do so should mean that other precious youth/persons must co-mingle in bathrooms, locker rooms etc..  If, indeed, public servants and others want to propagate this transgender proclivity, then let them build another bathroom or rooms for those few who are transgenders, but also maintain the status quo for those who recognize their gift of being born male, use bathrooms etc for males and for those born female, use bathrooms etc. for females. Let us not forget to have compassion for the feelings and concerns of those who wish not to participate. They have civil rights as well, not to mention the Bill of Rights, the right to privacy, and Religious rights, and above all natural, God given liberties. We will not submit to the will of the few, i.e., the public servants, corporations and others that seek to brow beat people into what they espouse. We are not going to extirpate a moral concept long established and/or free thinkers into a culture of “I am me and I am free to do as I please”. They are an injudicious minority that fiercely disregards and seeks to silence the majority of the rest of society”. Parental Authority is not Conferred to Public Servants at any level - especially in a Constitutional Republic - not any level! Compassion, logic, love and respect is a two way street and all must travel on it. David Beauregard\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It doesn’t cost a cent to show a bit of kindness and respect pronouns and identity. All children deserve kindness and guidance to be themselves.

How can a child/teen become transgender when they don't understand the hormones raging in their bodies as it is.  This world has changed so much and we need to teach our children what is right and wrong.  Children/teens are influenced enough as it is by our changing world and the school system has no right teaching this matter. If you want to discuss this issue in your home that is fine but the school is there to teach the basics like math, science, english, etc not sexual orientation...THAT IS THE PARENT's Job. I don't want someone telling my child WHO they are.  What happened to family discussions and family values.  If you and your family decide that your child is transgender and you work that out GREAT! but the school system/government/state have no place in this matter.

Rather than a wholesome restraint to prevent bullying, this amendment discourages even a simple and natural view of gender. Children are so trusting, and their trust is deeply violated by authorities who refuse to call right from wrong. I am deeply concerned about the mental health of our children in the coming years. Suppressing the truth will never actually erase it, or the God who founded it. We do a great wrong to these young ones to tell them they can, or even should change their gender...and not tell parents or others who love them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We show our agreement with this idea by the fact that minors may not marry, purchase alcohol, vote, purchase many things, consent to medical procedures, opt out of protections, enlist, rent a car, adopt a child, or a puppy, or do hundreds of other things due to the fact that they lack the perspective necessary to make the best decision for themselves. Yet this policy would encourage adults to encourage children to make decisions that they yet lack the maturity to make. NO ONE disagrees that ALL children, regardless of orientation, race, ethnicity, etc should be treated with kindness and respect. If we think that allowing a biological male to use the private facilities of biological females (and vice versa) is protecting his or her rights, then we MUST protect the rights of a biological male or female to not have to share private facilities with the opposite biological sex. Virginia - some of the best schools in the country used to be in this state. We're becoming the laughing stock of the country as we strive to convince the world that what we think we are (a boy, a girl, a _____) is what we are. It's binary, and everyone knows it, so let's put our effort into being kind to everyone and not trashing our school system and further confusing elementary kids who don't know any better than to think they are a particular gender because they like sports or baking. I'm curious - are these being read? kldw50@gmail.com\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}
