I affirm the notion that the guiding principle of all policies should be that all children have a right to learn, free from discrimination and harassment. I look forward to all local school boards developing and adopting policies that ensure all students, including transgender students, have safe, supportive, and inclusive school environments. These model policies are well-researched and thoughtfully formulated. I appreciate the attention paid to the safety of transgender students in all manner of scenarios. The model policies help point the way to an education system that encourages all students to thrive, which is as it should be.

However, making strict rules laid out to \"affirm\" a gender-confused young person will cause chaos and draw more attention to the young person in question. This is likely to lead to bullying outside school, where the chance of getting away with it is greater, so will be of no advantage to that student. Schoolkids have enough concerns related to growing up. Why are \"wise\" adults adding another one? Most kids feel inadequate, especially physically, and most have feelings of not quite fitting in. Should we burden them with the possibility that the physical equipment they were born with is somehow not appropriate, that they are not the boy or girl they have known themselves to be but rather may be one of a list of other possibilities sometimes requiring medicines, surgeries, change in names, etc.? Kids don't think up this stuff on their own...at least they didn't till our hypersexualized culture brought it up. Aside from the burden placed on teachers to keep up with the latest pronoun changes \"preferred\" by fickle students at the risk of their jobs, this law provides a new way for students and their parents to torment teachers or to get rid of any they dislike for other reasons. Several kids changing pronouns every few days to make the teacher stumble? Anyone who was ever a schoolkid or a teacher knows this nightmare scenario is not farfetched. Our schools will constantly be embroiled in litigation. Transgender students who look like girls are acceptable in the girls' bathroom. Transgender students who look like boys need to use the boys' bathroom. That's simple. No changing from day to day, though. Or the schools could spend money making separate mini-bathrooms, each with its own door, for anybody to use. That would work and probably help with bullying, which is rampant in school bathrooms anyway. It would be expensive, but probably not as much as hiring bathroom monitors to make sure of who's where. While ostensibly creating a policy to support the gender-confused, who would be a distinct, barely-recognizable minority if it hadn't become \"cool\" and \"edgy\", this policy tramples on the rights of people of faith, many of whom believe God makes two clearly-recognizable genders. This point of view, while not \"cool\" or \"edgy\", is well-represented in our schools. Let's not take away their right to their beliefs to trumpet the few, most of whom would probably rather not be noticed for their differences anyway. No more bullying...of the gender-confused, of people of faith, of oh, maybe redheads? Let's just treat each other kindly and not divide into categories unnecessarily with strangling legislation to support that division.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Therefore, the [AAP] policy emphasizes a gender-affirmative model of developmentally appropriate care oriented toward understanding and appreciating the gender experience of all youths.\" The policy recommends \"advocacy with school districts, communities, and policymakers to promote acceptance, inclusion and legal protection for all children without fear of harassment, exclusion or bullying because of gender expression.\" Please support transgender students with nondiscrimination policies that promote respect and equity for all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My children are rather young, ages 5 and 8, and while they have not expressed any feelings of gender dysphoria, one of their best friends has. Just like any other parent, I want my children to live a safe and happy life, I want them to have access to everything they need, especially while they’re at school, and especially if they were to be struggling with their gender identity. I’m so happy to share that our experience with re-learning proper pronouns and the true name of our friend has not been as difficult or confusing for my children as I had imagined it might be - our children are capable of normalizing the “shift” towards a more inclusive future and I think we should too. I support the guidance and appreciate the attention to this matter.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

All students, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender expression, religion, political views, etc., should be treated with dignity, kindness, love, and respect. Nevertheless, I strongly oppose this policy proposal for several reasons. One, I disagree with the document authors' definition of gender \"a set of social, psychological, and emotional traits.\" The problem with this definition is that it leaves out genetics and biological traits. Two, the document lays out guidance for withholding information about a student's gender identity from the student's parents. I realize that the goal is to protect students in such cases who may have unsafe homes or unsupportive families. But then the solution should be to address the unsafe or unsupportive family, not to institute a policy that gives schools the power to conceal such important information from parents about their own children. Three, the proposal includes policies that would force school employees to use a student's preferred gender pronoun whether they agree with it or not. This is a violation of free speech, not to mention a potential violation of religious freedom if a school employee's religious/moral conscience directs them to speak what they believe is true---that gender, among other things, is determined by one's biology. A school employee may thus feel compelled out of love to tell the truth by using a student's original name. Four, in my reading of this document and in my own research, I do not see enough evidence to show that minors have the maturity to make lasting decisions about something so central to their identity as gender. I therefore do not think there should be policies in place that force people to go along with a student's decision, when in fact the student's decision could well change --- and when in fact a more helpful solution may be, through many patient and kind and loving conversations, to help a student love and embrace the body they were born with. Of course I recognize that there are students who feel a dysphoria between their biological sex and their gender expression. This is a painful and difficult thing, and such students should be loved, and cared for, and helped. But it does not mean that gender identity is simply what students \"think\" or \"feel\" it to be irrespective of their biology, and that we should therefore institute policies to encourage and cement this choice. To do so would be an arbitrary act of privileging the mind over the body, an act which in fact encourages a low view of one's body because it teaches children that their bodies are malleable, and thus ultimately irrelevant, to who they are. I therefore believe such policies would ultimately be harmful to students' view of themselves. The better solution for students who experience gender dysphoria is to help them love and accept their own bodies. This would require parents to teach their children who experience dysphoria that certain activities and social roles needn't be gendered, and indeed that certain gender stereotypes are false: it is perfectly acceptable, for example, for a woman to be rational, assertive, to take charge, and to love sports and outdoors. Likewise it is perfectly acceptable for a man to be gentle and emotional, and to love music and arts. We don't need new school policies on this front; we need loving and engaged parents who are committed to walking with their children when they experience gender dysphoria to help them grow into a more holistic understanding of their gender --- an understanding that respects biology and affirms that girls can have boy interests and vice versa.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I understand that this is a measure that is meant to enhance the environment for public education. ALL kids DO need to receive respect and have equal opportunity for quality EDUCATION. However, this measure distracts from the task of education. That is our goal in school, correct? We are working to equip our children with foundational tools of how to learn and communicate within the fields of math, literature, writing, history, arts, and the scientific method. There is an increasing emphasis on self-expression in the educational world that, especially for younger children, can be extremely stressful and cause significant confusion. How is an individual expected to know or express their mind if all that is in it is the stuff of childhood? Children (and adults, for that matter) derive confidence from knowledge of their world. I give my child an education based on fact so that he or she is able to stand confidently on that foundation in order to then make sense of their world. I do not send my child to school so that he or she can first become enlightened of what originates from his or her mind. If a subject is too complex, we save those topics for when their minds are more mature and can better understand them. Please, be gentle. Honestly, the kids who are confused and uncertain about how to live in the skin in which they were born deserve to be treated with compassion, but with discretion. It’s akin to walking around with a bone hanging out of your arm, and, instead of seeking healing, you force everyone else to look at it and talk about it. This is not conducive to a positive learning environment. American schools are commonly known to be failing. The number one documented reason we are failing is the lack of involvement from parents. This measure states clearly that if a parent fails to follow the child’s desires regarding his/her/its gender, the parent is to be cut off from responsibility and gives the school administration power to act on behalf of the child. This is a legislative path that guarantees a further removal of parental involvement in schools, and entrusts the government to provide what the child, and thus eventually, society as a whole, needs to develop to maturity. Given the failure of the schools to ensure the majority of graduating seniors can read above a 5th grade level, and most don’t understand United States history, let alone world history and where the United States stands within it, this is not encouraging. Virginia legislature can and must do better to promote a healthy learning environment for all students and support their teachers. If a child needs private facilities while sorting through feelings, they ought to be available, as per current nondiscrimination policies. Likewise, bullying should never be tolerated for any reason under the same policies. If a child is struggling with family, the best course of action for all involved is to seek healing for that family. It is not enough just to let the child to manage these feelings alone. This will only lead to further confusion, feelings of isolation, and possibly suicide. However, the accommodations for one student cannot infringe upon the consideration of other students. Other commenters have appropriately argued against the use of toilet and locker room facilities by individuals with different genitalia.

We should not be teaching our children to deny science nor should we be teaching them that truth is relative.  We should not wonder why our society can no longer agree as to what are facts and can be so easily misled by misinformation when we no longer consider such a basic biological fact of sex identification as absolute truth.  If a person becomes male or female based solely on how they feel, then it certainly follows that other facts become true or not true based solely on how a person feels.  It is a scientific fact that if the 23rd pair of chromosomes are XX, that person is a female while if they are XY that person is a male.  Schools should be teaching scientific facts.  Please don't produce science deniers. Additionally, this bill which is said to be aimed towards antidiscrimination and freedom of speech, actually allows for open top-down discrimination and inhibits freedom of speech. The bill cites: \"First Amendment: The First Amendment protects freedom of speech and expression. Schools may not prevent students from expressing their identity.\" This bill does not address the first amendment rights of children who believe in science and wish to express that males and females are determined biologically and that they do not want to be in a locker room or bathroom with a person who is a different biological sex. This bill sets up a false narrative.  There are currently no laws that prohibit children who have gender dysphoria from attending school and learning in a safe environment free from harassment.  No reasonable person thinks that child should be prohibited from attending school without the school staff or other children from bullying them.  No one should be threatened.  However, this bill takes it a step too far when claiming that calling a person with XY chromosomes \"he\" is a form of intimidation and bullying.  If this is bullying and threatening, then it is only more logical that forcing someone who believes in biology to call a boy \"she\" or a girl \"he\" is also a form of bullying, threatening, and intimidation.  Additionally, if you tell the children that people must conform to the demands of their emotions, regardless of facts, you will be producing a generation that is no way prepared for the real world. To explicitly state that an employee who consistently refuses to deny science by using the pronouns that are biologically correct is discriminatory is a violation of that employee's First Amendment Right.  I repeat, this is a violation of a person's First Amendment Right.  People have the First Amendment Right to affirm basic biological truths and state that they do not accept the very new trend in denying this truth. This is also a violation of the First Amendment which states \"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...\"  Forcing people to deny the Biblical truth as stated in Matthew 19:4  \"...he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,\"  is prohibiting the free exercise of religion. Another area in which this bill actually creates discrimination is in regards to bathrooms and locker rooms.  The document states: \"All students are entitled to have 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. This begs the question, what about students who do not feel comfortable changing in a locker room where there are people of the opposite biological sex?  Why is the comfort of the teenage daughter who doesn't want to change in a locker room with a biological boy less valued than the comfort of the biological boy who wants to change with the teenage girl?  The document also specifically states \"It can be emotionally harmful for a transgender student to be questioned regarding the use of restrooms and facilities. School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.\"  This is effectively a free for all in which everyone can use any restroom, locker room, or shower that they desire.  All reasonable persons know that this is a terrible idea that opens the door for more harassment. I will not go into all of the ways in which this is also actually harmful to those whom it is supposedly trying to help as this is covered in many other posts.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I fear there is an insidious agenda involved here.  90% of children with some form of gender confusion (dysphoria) grow out of it by the time they reach early adulthood if properly addressed.  The proposed policies will only lead to greater confusion and danger (primarily for young girls) especially in locker room scenarios. Leaving parents out of important information and decision-making regarding their children is absolutely wrong, and in my opinion verges on criminality.

As a teacher with a VA teaching license for over 30 years, I am concerned about much in our schools: poor discipline, weak academics, drugs, bullying, etc. Why would we want to support gender confusion, boys in girls' locker rooms and bathrooms, etc.? Let schools be schools and teachers focus on teaching content and helping individuals. I am concerned if these extreme proposals are allowed, we will see more confusion and anxiety among our young people, plus even more qualified teachers leaving the profession if they think they are busier doing \"social engineering\" than actually teaching and helping students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Students do not change pronouns daily or even weekly. The regulation changes that are being implemented is only harmful to a child whose parents want to deny that their child may not be heterosexual. It is important to listen to your child when they tell you they look one way on the outside, but feel a different way on the outside. Your child is there own person, they are not mini versions of yourself. Allow students  to their right to live their life in the manner they choose. Blocking them from being their authentic self will only help lead children to suicide because their family tells them they are not normal.....This letter is again very misleading and I believe is being used as a scare tactic for the inevitable.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

She actually changed her natural body function so that she wouldn't make other children feel uncomfortable in the school bathroom. Changing for gym was also a struggle. Imagine how difficult it is to concentrate when you have to urinate? Add on a processing disorder.... my child is my hero. Obviously, I fully support this bill. Giving schools the opportunity to truly focus on helping all children in any way they can so that they can be successful members in our communuty is positive and a win-win. Fortunately, my neighborhood schools built in concessions for my child once I was made aware of what she was doing, 2 school years later... But I think of other children in other schools that are not as progressive as mine in the commonwealth. This bill will protect them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Instead of enabling our children and confusing them because we don't want to hurt their feelings, it is our duty as parents and children of God to teach them what is right from wrong and tell them the truth.  It is wrong to be someone you are not, God created men and women.  This policy will confuse our children and perhaps make them think they have a choice.  The fact the schools can hide this from parents and help kids endure this behavior is mind troubling. I have known plenty of people that just go with the flow because they want to experiment, or they want to feel like they are different and special because parents are not doing their job at home.  Parents need to support our children watch over them and guide them. A lot of parents let the electronic devices and social media parent their kids because they are too tired to deal with them and that is the biggest problem. Please people lets open our eyes, if you think this policy will improve the bullying, well you have another thing coming, if anything this will intensify it. Think COVID a lot of kids are currently being abused at home mentally, physically and sexually and a lot of them suffer from anxiety, depression and anger. Take that and coming back to school and with this horrific policy and see what happens. They are trying to shove this down our throats.  They are worried about them but not thinking of how this will impact the rest of our children and that is not fair.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The term “feel safe” is just as ambiguous as the idea that the “safe” part is present. I understand the transgender idea was never meant to discriminate or paralyze the individual, but the term itself places them in a corner doing the very thing the fight is against. Back to my point, “feeling safe” because no one questions the actions of the student, only is “safe” if EACH AND EVERY student is honestly seeking their own safe space without malicious intent. Using the guise of Transgender, with these provisos, will then allow those aggressive students to mask their intent LEGALLY without being questioned by those who have been tasked to keep the safety and welfare of EACH AND EVERY student secure. If those in authority cannot ascertain reasonable safeguards by investigating issues prior to someone getting abused emotionally, sexually, or physically, there is no “safe” to feel. I also understand that Parents and Administrators all don’t have the same value systems or understanding as the transgender community espouses, and the remarks, actions and power plays by them often go overlooked and passed over as “the right way to reach these kids.” Personally, have worked closely with children and teens for over 25 years. I have seen their desires both positive and negative. One thing I do know, the parent, no matter my view of their parenting skill or lack of, needs to have a say in the child’s life, especially, when it comes to their safety (emotionally, physically and sexually). The ties to the parent cross more boundaries than idealogical ones. Working with the parent to solve the issues will bring about a better result than subverting those ties and taking a minor into the state’s care. You will find parents won’t “feel safe” in public schools because they won’t be allowed to have a hand in their child’s protection. I feel these guidelines need to be revised to provide the authorities and parents with reasonable protective powers and not have it weigh solely on the students’ “honesty” in order for there to be a true “safe space” in public school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

What would you tell her?  Maybe, suck it up and try harder? Or that maybe she should try out for a non school team?  And heaven forbid she's working towards a scholarship.  Just as long as you get what you want, nothing else matters right? I strongly disagree.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The job of the school is only to teach math, english, history etc.  Their job ends when the student leaves the school grounds.  The parents responsibilities are the rest of the day, night, weekends, teacher workdays, vacations, and summers.  If the school does not communicate their concerns about a students behavior and something happens to that student and it was found out that the school personnel knew about it, there would be real legal consequences! Students aged 0 to 18 years of age are legally considered children.  From 10 to 18+ they are going through strong hormonal changes in their lives.  I think it criminal to give them puberty blocker hormones!  They should be given psychiatric and psychological support until age 18 when they can decide which sex they choose.  Becouse it is a CHOICE if they decide to change their sex. I think the solution to this is for each school to build a transgender bathroom for each chosen sex. I think \"prefered pronouns\" are a distraction for school personnal that would distract from the ability for them to teach.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This document should not even have to be made to provide the same protections for students in school as any other student. Whether you are an educator, school counselor, parent, or administrator, you have a responsibility to protect and accept the students that come into your school and your home every day. If your love and acceptance is limited to sex and identity, you should not be an educator. Even further, you shouldn't become a parent if there are limits to who your child can be to be worthy of your acceptance and love. Education is a fundamental right that ALL children deserve to have SAFE and FAIR access to. Students who identify as transgender are no less part of their school than students that identify as the sex they were assigned at birth. Who are you to say they shouldn't have the same rights?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It is wrong  for school administrators to contradict the religious beliefs of thousands of families in order to curry political favor. Every family on my street I have spoken with is against this. Who is paying the taxes that support your school? I do not want my elementary school children being told that they can change their gender. Nor is it right for school officials to  undermine a child’s parents by encouraging a child in that direction, failing to inform their parents, and report the parents if they fail to be “affirming”. Children should not be forced to use new gender neutral pronouns and punished if they choose not to. This is outrageous and anti- American. If you bring this leftist nonsense to Virginia you will see many families pull their children out of public school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

You are asking faculty and students to go against their own convictions and worldview in order to accommodate for certain students. That discriminates against students and teachers who don’t agree with this worldview which is what you’re “trying” to avoid. The fact that students are allowed to do all of these things without their parents’ knowledge is horrific. These are minors who are still under their parents’ roof and guardianship. The parents have every right to know what is happening in their child’s life, and purposely leaving them out is unhealthy and just wrong. Also, these policies allow students to use whatever bathroom, locker room, changing room, etc. that they want with no questions asked. This leaves room for males to take advantage of that in order to go into the girls’ bathroom. That is not okay and is completely inappropriate. Girls should be able to feel safe at school, and these policies destroy that safety. Lastly, you allow no exceptions for faith, conscience, and basic biology. All of these policies go against our first amendment rights of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. These policies are horrific, and I am strongly against every single one of them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans youth needs to be protected at all costs. The suicide and homicide rates of trans people is frighteningly high. There is nothing taboo about discussions about gender identity, and hopefully it will help normalize the existence of trans folk enough that violence rates against them will go down. The argument that trans people violate someone else religion is nothing more than an insecurity on their part. Not only should religion be kept out of public schools, but there is nothing about a trans person’s existence that makes it impossible for someone else to practice their religion. Religion is NOT an excuse to neglect the needs of others, especially when it involves their personal safety or wellbeing.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is not a matter of faith. This is not a matter of politics. This is not an aggressive push for radical change in how we approach primary and secondary education. The policies outlined in this guidance document are the bare minimum that ought to be done. Comments and general replies in opposition largely cite safety concerns for students (with the implicit addendum of \"cisgender and heterosexual student safety concerns\"), with fringe arguments about athletics. This leads to the traditional discussion of restrooms, changing areas, and gendered health and physical education classes, which do require more tact and structure to ensure that all students are safe and comfortable in their learning environment. However, when one reads the guidance document pertaining to this discussion (found in either Dress Code or Access to Activities and Facilities), this concern is mute. The to-be voted on policies of the Virginia Department of Education adhere to any given Virginia and federal law. They are reasonable and accommodating to transgender and cisgender students alike. Yet there is still noticeable opposition to it. I repeat again: this is the bare minimum . To concede on anything within the document is to allow emotional (and potentially physical) harassment and abuse to transgender students. It is to deny them of the most basic rights they are entitled to, as to who they are and as to who they can become. Primary and secondary education are the pillars in creating good foundational skills in communications and many other social skills that are often taken for granted. In denying any one thing on this document is to set the precedent to transgender students that they are second merit to cisgender peers right from the starting line. Instead of presenting professional development opportunities and guiding them to what they want to pursue, we are inadvertently creating and inflicting upon transgender students an environment where they constantly have to exist as another version of themselves, contrary to what they would like to be. It is the soul-crushing equivalent of telling a child who wants to be an astronaut that they must become a tax accountant instead, and if they deviate from that path any one bit, they deserve all the harassment, heckling, and pain they would receive for having \"an immature and nonsensical\" dream. It is worse, however, because a child will still go through the education system and mature, and they will eventually get to the point where they realize they can satisfy their own passion and throw others' suggested ideal of what they have to be to the wind. Transgender students do not have that ending. Transgender students, all too often, are sent down a self-deprecating, self-harming, and ultimately self-destructive spiral that never seems to end. Because they look in the mirror, see the environment they are in forcing an identity on them that never quite fits, and subsequently blame and hate themselves for being who they are. They look for outlets to escape the pain, both self-inflicted and by their environment, and some eventually fall onto suicide and suicidal ideation as an escape. Is that not abhorrent to imagine someone as young as twelve or thirteen years old to hate themselves that much, magnified by familial, social, and learning environments forcing them into an unfit identity? This should not be as much of a resolution needing to be passed or opposed as it should be a discussion of how do we avoid that fate for our students statewide. And this is the bare minimum to avoid such a fate. Please support the policies listed in the Guidance Document.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While I do not agree with it and I do not think it is right, I would never judge or want to make someone who thinks it is right to feel unequal or isolated. With that being said, I believe this new policy would isolate and discriminate against those who do not understand or support this new policy. Furthermore I believe this new policy will create problems at home and will contribute to more harassment and even possible sexual harassment and/or assault. The first part of the policy I would like to address is the first point: \"Failure to use a students preferred pronouns would be harassment and discrimination, resulting in disciplinary actions.\" Since pronouns can change from day-to-day how are people supposed to know what pronouns to use when addressing a student or classmate? The only way to avoid anyone being disciplined would be for students to wear name tags everyday with their preferred pronouns on those name tags or always carry/display some sort of identifying paper or label to avoid any conflicts or confusion between students and teachers. This may seem like a solution to some, but looking at it from every aspect, this would cause even more isolation or could embarrass those whose pronouns change from day-to-day. While I think it's important to make everyone feel safe and included, I do not think this policy will bring the feeling of safety or inclusion to anyone especially if someone could get into trouble . The next parts I would like to address are sections 2 and 9. Section 2 states that schools will help students explore, facilitate, and make decisions regarding their gender expression without the knowledge of their parents. Section 9 states that parents will not be notified if their child is being interrogated or disciplined and will not be able to intervene on their child's behalf unless the complaints are not resolved at the school level. The school system should not be able to keep secrets from a child's parent especially when that secret could potentially be a life changing decision or could result in a child being disciplined without a parents knowledge. If the school is going to have strict rules about things such as bringing in tylenol or having strict parental permission and written notes for minor things then what makes the school think that keeping vital information from parents regarding their children is okay or helpful at all? The fact that the school system thinks it would help children to keep their parents out of the loop and in the dark about such serious matters is ridiculous and deceitful. The last two parts of this proposed policy change are sections 6 and 7. These sections state that parents will not be notified if a biological male is using the same dressing room as their daughter and that all students will be able to use any bathroom or locker room they want to without any questions from faculty. These 2 sections create some real questions and concerns for everyone involved. If a biological male were to use the women's locker room it could open up opportunity for biological males who do not identify as a woman to abuse that rule and use it for an unsavory reason that could lead to an assault upon a female. Another reason this particular part of this new policy would be a bad idea would be because if a biological female were to identify as male and decided to use the men's bathroom or locker room they could be subject to harassment and possible assault. I do not think allowing students who identify as the gender they were not assigned to at birth to use the same bathroom or locker room as the gender they identify with on any given day is a good idea in the least. It could cause people to be uncomfortable changing or using their own facilities and it could open up to opportunity for students and even teachers to be harassed or assaulted. While I do understand that everyone would like to be treated fairly and would like to be comfortable with who they are, I do not think this particular part of the policy would help anyone to feel comfortable or safe and the fact that the parents would not be notified also creates problems. After reading through this policy and taking into consideration all sides of the problem (whether or not I agreed with that side) I have decided that I do not support this proposed policy as it would take away the feeling of safety, comfort, and the parents rights to be informed. If another policy were to be proposed with other solutions to the issues and concerns raised then I would take another look at that policy and maybe agree then.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans Students Deserve Equality in School\nBody:\nThank you to the VDOE for developing this policy to protect transgender and non-binary students in VA public schools.  I fully support this policy guidance and it has been needed for a long time!  This document in it's entirety will only help school districts know how to support their students and create a more welcoming and inclusive learning environment. Every single student deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, and have access to a quality education.  Quality education begins with inclusion, safety and feeling valued in your community...and for students, that's their school. As teachers, we need to make a safe space for all students to be their authentic selves and recognize and celebrate all of our differences.  It is easy to do when you learn more and make some small adjustments in the classroom.  Representation matters, our words matter, and our students are worth it!  Thank you again!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

If they even share with a friend that they don't agree with what another child is doing they could have severe disciplinary action taken out on them. If my child comes home and asks me, I will not hesitate to ensure them that their friend is confused, even if that possibly would result in a case with local CPS or DSS. I believe the government is now sticking their fingers where they do not belong and have had no business being for quite some time now. What will happen when unfavorable actions or verbal abuse takes place by the opposite gender in a bathroom not intended for their use? Will it be brushed off as \"kids will be kids?\" I, as a parent, will not hesitate to teach my child to stand up for themselves, their siblings or their friends, no matter how they choose to deal with the situation that arises. I considered moving my family back to VA, but we are watching closely how many lines the government is forcibly crossing into schools and family life. Keep our children innocent!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I would like to respectfully submit my comments concerning the draft “Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools”. The definitions in the terminology section use the phrase “sex assigned at birth”. This language is problematic and confusing because one’s sex is not assigned. One’s sex is biological and determined before birth. Fetal development is different between males and females. The male brain develops differently than the female brain. In later development there are very clear differences between young boys and young girls. Most parents and others who directly associate with young children understand this. These differences continue and develop as children mature. To claim that sex is assigned is to deny basic science. The policy refers to evidence based curricula, guidance, policy, etc. but ignores or even rejects the clear science of biological sex and male/female differences. The policy further complicates matters by separating biological sex and gender. A person’s gender is their sex. This is clear and undeniable. While our current social and political environment calls this into question it does so with no reliable evidence or with manufactured evidence or circular reasoning. This should not be allowed. This is to deny basic reality. Quality education should not deny basic science. Some children do experience confusion about many things. This may include their personal identity and possibly their sexual identity. While it is important to maintain a nurturing environment for all students we should not do so at the expense of denying basic reality no matter the current social and political trends. We should not tolerate bullying for any reason. We should also not manufacture an artificial environment in an attempt to accommodate a few individuals who are struggling with their identity. Human beings are male and female, men and women, boys and girls. Occasionally someone is born with ambiguous gender. That person, as with all persons, should be supported, nurtured and treated with dignity and respect. I recognize that is the intent of the policy but this policy does not accomplish that. I realize this is a complex social issue but please revise this policy to acknowledge there are two sexes and two genders, male and female. Males and females are different from each other and their differences should be celebrated, respected and protected. The relative few people who do not fit neatly into male or female should be treated with respect and compassion. Making allowances for a few people should not result in major adjustments for the rest of the student body. One example is making a building ADA compliant. We can add a wheelchair ramp without removing the staircase. Males should not be allowed in the female locker room no matter how they may choose to identify themselves. A further comparison would be how we treat people who are non-ambulatory. We provide wheelchairs, ramps and make buildings ADA compliant as much as possible. If someone is blind we offer to teach them brail and make allowances for service animals. If someone self identifies as blind or non-ambulatory even though they can see or walk unhindered we do not offer them disability protections and accommodations. If a male identifies as female or vice versa this is as if a sighted person were identifying as blind. This is so obvious that no explanation or defense should be required. Please review this policy with clear thinking about things that are obvious to most people. Virginia families are depending on you to do what is right and not bow to current social and political trends that deny basic science and human development. We want our schools to be a nurturing environment for all students but denying basic reality should not be required to accomplish this. We should be helping students learn how to live in the real world, not manufacturing an artificial environment for them. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully submitted, Greg\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

As a Christian educator in the public schools, I love all of my students and look out for their best interest.  I do everything I can to help them and provide a safe and healthy environment for them.  These policy ideas are absurd.   I understand looking out for the rights of everyone, but that can not be at the expense of Christians.  These policies could be used to eliminate Christian teachers from the public schools.  These policies attempt to look like they prevent bullying but I feel very attacked just in reading them.  Please look at the strong character and quality of teachers that currently exist in Virginia and resist making these destructive changes.  They would result in the loss of some fabulous teachers.  I will gladly discuss my concerns in greater detail if you want to reach out to me.  I choose to believe that the creators of these policy ideas really want positive change in our schools and how we treat our students and each other.  However, this policy recommendation is the wrong way to make it happen.  These policies will only result in negative, divisive results.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Our children have been created in a distinct way, and it is wrong to attack the way their creator, God, has made them male and female. The family is a sphere of influence ordained by God. As such, parents have the sole responsibility to direct, lead, teach, and challenge their children and decide what is best for their welfare. This is not the state's role. Parents may delegate or allow a school to come along side, but the state should not supersede parents. This policy should be overturned and abolished. This policy is designed to desensitize children even more, forcing the introduction of gender change on children for no other reason than to attempt to make it main stream in society. It mocks and minimizes parenting, making it possible to jail, fine, and separate a child from his or her parents for them encouraging their child to enjoy being the person they were created to be. If a child expresses a desire to change and the parents disagree, this policy punishes parents for it as discrimination and harassment. It also deceives parents by not telling them what their child is being taught or exposed to. Another protest, the policy will destroy teachers and students who protest against this, clearly not supporting all students' right of free speech and having a differing point of view. It would label them harassers and discriminating individuals.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These policies undermine parental rights by giving schools the ability to help students explore and make decisions regarding a child's sexual identity while at school without a parent even knowing. It is not the public school's job to teach sexuality to children.  It is a parent's right to guide and guard their children in all aspects of their lives. Within this policy parents who encourage their children to embrace their biological sex would be at risk of being reported to Child Protective Services by the child's school. This is an example of complete over reach by the school. I strongly oppose the eradication of all distinctions between males and females. Transgender students should not be allowed into opposite sex bathrooms and/or locker rooms just because they identify with the other gender. This especially puts biological females in an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous situation. The rights of boys and girls who identify with their biological sex are being completely ignored and pushed aside. Why are their thoughts and feelings not being taken into account as these policies turn into law? It sounds to me like these children are being discriminated against. Under this policy parents will not be notified if their child has been interrogated by school officials for allegedly violating these policies unless the complaints are not resolved. Again, an example of complete over reach by the school in an area that they have no business discussing within the school walls. My child should not be reprimanded for the sexual confusions of other students. The gender that you were born with cannot be erased --- it is biological. I am extremely concerned about the indoctrination of my children that this policy will allow to happen by school officials, administrators, and teachers. I wish that school systems would concentrate on teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic. The over reach by schools is alarming - focus on what you were hired to do.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

All bullying and mistreatment of any person should not be tolerated in our schools. We can teach kindness and respect without these drastic policy changes. We can disagree with the choices of another person and still treat them with the dignity that every human deserves. These policies deny the rights of parents, students' privacy rights, and the First Amendment rights of teachers and administrators who disagree with these policies. I am most concerned that this policy disregards the privacy and safety of our girls.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Please support this!

I hear their fears for their children when they talk about school. I also see the fear in the numerous commenters who oppose these protections. The fear of change and of things we haven’t encountered yet is strong. I spent 54 years fearing transition and being my authentic self. I feared how people would judge me, if they would acknowledge my name and pronouns, if they would let me use the restroom of my gender. When I hear the fears of trans kids I hear these same fears. Dropping classes they want to take because they know a teacher will misgender them, fearing a substitute teacher will call them by the wrong name, and going to the extreme of not drinking all day so they won’t have to use the restroom. These policies address many of the concerns trans and non-binary students. They do this by protecting the student. Whether that is protecting their right to not fear a teacher misgendering them, or protecting their privacy as they explore their gender identity with people with whom they feel safe. It is scary to challenge the gender your family assumed you were. It is hard to gauge what their reaction will be. Many trans kids get kicked out of their homes. We never want to put either a teacher or a trans student in the position that their action many make the child homeless. These policies go a long way to protect a small, but increasing, number of students who find their way to living authentically. I support these policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Threatening teachers for not keeping up with daily whims of students who want to make a joke out of this is dangerous. Therefore, there truly needs to be a process and guidance for respectfully meeting the needs of students who may desire to explore an identity that is not apparent to those around them.   As long as I can remember, schools have been working hard to increase communication with parents about the welfare of the children in the families schools serve.   This document puts up barriers.   There has to be a better way to make all students feel supported and encourage communication between the schools and the community.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It seems pretty insane to me to even speculate over the idea of whether or not we should support all children. Pretty simple answer, we should. Trans kids should be treated with respect, dignity, and should be taken care of in are public schools. Leave your bible at home. All kids are equal, treat them as such. Just because another child doesnt identify the same way as your fohawk ridden, blonde hair blue eyed, future cop baby...Doesnt mean they are any less of a person.

A few supplementary observations to her very thorough treatment of the subject:  We object to the adoption of the new transgender policies in Virginia public schools for the following reasons: We believe that, absent a specific court order pertinent to particular family situations, parents’ rights in regard to the raising of their children trump those of the public schools or the state at large, and that parents should therefore not be excluded from any discussion of their children’s gender issues; It is our understanding from a review of scientific studies that the long term transgender data lack the longitudinal analytical evidence required to validate that irreversible physical interventions are in any way helpful, with much short term data suggesting that they are, in fact, injurious (e.g., high suicide rates post-intervention, significant rates of regret and requests for reversal surgeries, etc.); and We recognize that adolescents have always struggled with identity issues, and that “locking in” a gender identity contrary to their biological identity in adolescence is dangerous, ill-advised, and may be a cause for profound regret as the affected teenagers mature.  Indeed, there is significant evidence that a majority of adolescents that identify as transgender for a time eventually revert to their biologically determined gender identity and would regret irreversible transition therapies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I believe the best path forward for Virginia is to support the transgender students we have in this great commonwealth, just like we should support and encourage all of our students to be their authentic selves. Once again, thank you for your time and I'm optimistic of a bright future where everyone is treated equally and with respect.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I strongly oppose this measure. This is an enormous distraction from the core function and mission of our Board of Education. Virginia BOE's mission is: \"The mission of the Board of Education and Superintendent of Public Instruction, in cooperation with their partners, is to develop policies and provide leadership that improve student achievement and prepare students to succeed in postsecondary education and the workplace, and to become engaged and enlightened citizens.\" Virginia already has, and has the ability to bolster, policies to protect children from bullying and should not tolerate any form of bullying for against any student, faculty or staff.  Matters dealing specifically with sexuality should be reserved for the privacy of one's home. At school, our children should be squarely focused on preparing themselves for further education and the workforce.  Matters of sexuality, religion, faith, family-lifestyle, and the like should be reserved for individual families to address.

A study in Sweden, which is very accepting of transgender individuals, found that transgender adults were much more likely to commit suicide than those who stayed with their birth sex.  Studies of children continue to find that most cases of gender dysphoria resolve themselves with the child accepting their birth sex. So where is the science to show that children should be encouraged to question their gender and birth sex?  Legislation shouldn't be based on feel-good movies and feelings, but facts.  There are anti-bullying standards and much greater understanding of gender dysphoria that can help that small minority of children experiencing it.  The current legislation will create instead a hostile environment towards the vast majority of children, teachers and parents who have experienced that their sex/gender at birth is who they are.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Many opposing parents or others are saying schools should not be “pushing into the homes”. I’m confused, as they would not be. What they would be doing is providing an environment where trans students get treated with dignity and respect. How could anyone claim to teach children to love and respect themselves when in the same breath they condemn so many proclaimed truths made by these children? I don’t know who needs to hear this, but gender is an entirely social construct. Genitalia does not dictate gender identity, sex does not dictate gender identity. It is just that, an identity. No one can tell you who you are. That is something everyone must learn on their own. All this guidance would do is provide tools and knowledge for kids to help them with that task. It would also allow these kids to learn and grow in a school environment without the added anxiety, stress, and fear that comes with stigma surrounding any LGBT identity. Let our kids be who they are, unapologetically and with our support.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Transgender rights are human rights. Treating them as such is the first step on a long road to deeper understanding, tolerance, and common humanity. For the plethora of Christians opposed to such measures, I implore us all to find guidance in the call to love thy neighbor as thyself. Not understanding a sexual or gender identity is no cause for fear, but rather an opportunity to open our hearts in love, and allow those to speak and be heard who have for so long be silenced. Let us all humbly accept that we can’t know what it’s like to be transgender unless we are transgender - and let’s listen to those who know what they need to thrive and do our very best to provide. This is not a question of policy or legislation, but one of love.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This mandate is disturbing on a number of levels. On an educational level, these pronoun references defy the rules of grammar. They would also place an undue burden on classroom and other teachers to modify their patterns of speech. With years of educational experience, I can see that this would be debilitating to teachers, whose job is hard enough as is, and may prompt many resignations. On a physical level, this mandate would expose students to abuse of privacy and safety with regard to locker rooms, restrooms and clothing choices. On a philosophical level, this mandate defies the definition of a human person. On a spiritual level, this mandate is abusive and constitutes harassment to those students and families whose faith lies in God's creation of humans as male and female. On an economic level, this mandate would expose the school system to legal prosecution by students and families, which it could ill afford.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

First of all, it harms parental rights because it paves the way for schools to deceive parents.  They do this by suggesting plans where children who are wrestling with gender confusion can be aided in leading a “double life” unknown to the parents, if it is determined that the parents would not fully embrace or facilitate their child adopting a brand-new gender identity.  This even goes so far as to suggest that a different gender and name can be used at school but their given gender or name be used in the presence of the parents. This means the withholding of information that could make a lifesaving decision for that child. This doesn’t sound wise or safe! Secondly, these new policies would negatively impact student emotional and physical safety. The new proposed policies include the opportunity that boys who identify as girls to be allowed to use female restrooms and locker rooms.  This can all be done without ever notifying the parents! This is wrong! But, interestingly, no one is talking about the harm done to very young girls who feel powerless to expect physical privacy in the presence of biological males.  This is not to mention young men who don’t want to change in front of biological girls. These actions here mean that “gender” itself is ultimately a matter of identification, not biological sex. The state here wishes to use its coercive power not simply to stop mistreatment of people but to rescript the most basic human intuitions about humanity as male and female. How do we dispute the most basic facts of science and life: that there are two sexes? This is governmental coercion of publicly disputed trends in modern culture or the war in our culture taking place right now. We all, of course, do not want some to be harmed who is dealing with gender confusion or gender dysphoria. Even without these guidelines, students should have protections from discrimination, bullying, or harassment. All schools must ensure that all students, including LGBT students, are able to learn and thrive in a safe environment.  No student of any distinguishing characteristic is deserving of mockery, bullying, or intimidation. Christians believe that Jesus’ words in Luke 6:31 are relevant and apply in these circumstances: “And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.” It is a sad testament to our society’s decline in civility that serious discussion cannot proceed without questioning motives. One troubling thing includes the possibility that schools are encouraged to deceive parents about the struggles of their own child!  For example, school administrators are told to allow a student to be called a different name or use different bathroom facilities at school, while not informing their parents, if it is perceived that parents would not accept any possible revelations from the child might consider themselves another gender.  Children, then, become pawns of the state for the state to teach a cultural lesson, not a scientific one. This, ultimately, won’t work. There are good reasons to put boys and girls in different bathrooms and locker rooms and sometimes sports teams, reasons that don’t impugn the dignity of people but uphold it. Sex-differentiated bathrooms and sports teams and dormitories for men and women aren’t the equivalent of, say, a terrorist Jim Crow state unnaturally forcing people apart based on a fiction, useful to the powerful, that skin color is about superiority and inferiority. Every human being knows that there are important, and necessary, differences between men and women. Without such recognition, women are harmed, and men are coarsened. Every human being knows that there are important, and necessary, differences between men and women. Without such recognition, women are harmed, and men are coarsened. Moreover, the move here toward severing self-identity from biological reality will hardly stop at “gender.” If anything, there’s much more of a case to be made that one can feel to be a different age than one’s doctor’s exam or birth certificate would show. That’s relatively indifferent if all that this means is “You’re only as old as you feel” or “I’m a Millennial trapped in a Gen-X body.” It’s something else entirely if chronological self-identity is mandated for military service or the drinking age or the age of consent. People and neighborhoods and nations and cultures cannot live this way. God created us as human, and within humanity as male and female. Man needs woman, and woman needs man. My maleness and your femaleness aren’t about us at all. They fit us within a much larger stream—of a species by nature and by community. The Sexual Revolution, chaotically, wants to tell us that gender means nothing and that gender means everything. Neither is true. We should recognize that misleading caricatures of masculinity and femininity were always harmful, but now are potentially deadly. The little girl in your neighborhood who doesn’t like princess movies or dolls, and who would rather spend a Saturday in the deer stand, increasingly now is told by the culture around her that maybe she’s not a woman at all. The truth is that the male/female sex difference is objectively real. Biological science is built off of this reality.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Not only that, but you are trying to supersede the right of the parent in this matter. A parent is their child's primary educator and also has their best interests at heart. The school system obviously does not, otherwise why would they be trying to cut them out and reporting parents for child abuse? The real abuse of our children is the over-sexualization and fixation on sexual orientation in a classroom setting when what school's should really be focusing on is educating our children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It could be Superman, a tiger, a fish in the swimming pool...but they quit.  They go back to being who they really are.  They know they were only pretending.  When adults bounce on them and say yes you are, and then force them to continue in the pretending, that is very harmful and very confusing. When adults pretend they or children are something they are not, they are directly believing lies from Satan. Satan will be perfectly happy to possess their passions and possess their minds, causing them to waste all kinds of heartbreak, pain, money, and time on surgery and hormones, \"counseling\", political activism, and finding as many suckers they can to do the same... It is stupid and dangerous to believe and promote that you are not your biological sex.  This will do nothing but harm our society, and it is simply not true. The Department of Education has too much power.  Sexuality should not be taught in schools.  Parents are the best teachers, unless they give written permission for the students to be brainwashed.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

A bullying policy has already been passed in Stafford County which covered all students.  However this policy takes it to a whole different level and supports lying to parents regarding children as young as kindergarten regarding \"gender expression\".  This policy would allow school staff the exploration, facilitation, and involvement in the decision making process of your child's \"gender expression of sexual identity\" while at school. Furthermore, Parents who encourage their children to embrace their biological sex at birth in their own home would be at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect by the school which has already happened in some states and is laid out in this policy . Inconceivably, 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 policy clearly takes things beyond the concept of bullying and instead proposes to push an ideology on all students sidestepping Parental Rights, individual rights of Privacy, Safety, Religious Freedom and Freedom of Speech or Not To Speak (ie; pronouns) of all students and teachers .  Our founders of this great country and state never intended for people to be forced from their Rights of Conscience at school or at home.  They never intended to restrict citizens ( not subjects ) of their practice of Religious Freedom at home or prohibit underlying principles based on Morality.  They never intended for Schools to mandate ideology regarding sexual anything concerning their children and replace  parental discernment and guidance with school policy .  They never intended to thwart the principles of Genetic Science.  Therefore this policy should not be supported as it goes against Parents Rights & overall Constitutionality .\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It will not help children - either those who believe they are trans or the vast majority who do not. It is not transphobic to oppose these kinds of measures; transgender adults have often argued against the same kinds of approaches to education. All students should feel safe, but that does not mean that others should be forced to participate in gender confusion. Science and statistics testify to the failure of this approach. Kind and loving treatment of all children is possible without teaching and encouraging the lie that a child has been “born in the wrong body.”\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, Government and School Officials should abstain from involvement in very personal, emotional, psychological discussions related to gender identity and sexual preference, particularly for children. For certain, the parental role in sensitive discussions related to sexuality and gender should never be breached by a school official unless demonstrable physical harm is present. This document seems to leave room for a teacher, who may not agree with a parent's approach to their child, to identify said parent as a risk to the student's well-being. That is wrong; and dangerous. Presently, Virginia Public School students are rewarded, with regularity, for below-average demonstration of basic skills: spelling, grammar, math and reasoning. Virginia Public Schools, and local school boards, would serve all students and families well to first improve the quality of education. Better education leads to better leaders, and better economic opportunity, regardless of gender identity or preferences. This initiative, and so-called \"Model\" robs energy and resources from more important initiatives that benefit the entire spectrum of students. Virginia students deserve better.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

After seeing your “draft model policies for the treatment of transgender students,” I am mortified at what our Virginia General Assembly has directed the Department of Education (VDOE) to do to our children, and to us as parents through our children’s youthful naivete, impressionable state, and vulnerability to your institutional bullying, and special interest social-psychological engineering and indoctrination. Your attack on our children and through our children to numb and silence both them and us (as their parents, their natural biological and indeed lawful guardians) so that you can install your socio-psychological dictatorship in our neighborhood, towns, cities, states, and nation is a crime that goes far beyond the pale.  You, The Virginia General Assembly and Virginia Department of Education, are presently and clearly attempting to subvert science, ethics, morality, The Constitution of the United States of America, our freedom of speech, and right to think for ourselves as human beings. In fact, you have selected the battlefield of our children’s very minds, because your weaponized totalitarian social-psychological engineering rhetoric has limited affect against a well-educated and informed adult population.  You cry wolf, you wag your finger at, and falsely accuse children and parents of that which you yourself do in order to flip the narrative, to flip truth on its head. Yes, it is you The Virginia General Assembly, and Virginia Department of Education that IS bullying, shoving aside, dismissing, name calling, stigmatizing, and deceiving Virginian Citizens.  It is clear from your very references and source material that this is a targeted offensive attack on our children and our fellow Virginian citizens right to think and choose for ourselves. I am reminded of that classic album, I think you know it, I think you forgot the message of it as well; remember that album, The Dark Side of the Moon, by Pink Floyd, Second Part, “Another Brick In The Wall?” Remember: “We don't need no education We don't need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teacher, leave them kids alone Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone All in all it's just another brick in the wall” In 2019, Jessica Shelton—writing for Song Meanings and Facts—wrote that: “In the second part, the narrator recalls his schooling days where his ‘evil’ teachers wanted nothing but to control him to do things in a particular way. He describes the teachers in a negative light. He apparently feels they gain some kind of gratification from mentally abusing and punishing children. The chorus urges a protest by kids against this kind of fixed technique which immaturely impedes creativity in young children.  The narrator also depicts the nature of certain behavioral controls that were introduced in schools during that period. … This kind of conditioning seems to have had an adverse effect on the singer who eventually qualifies it as another brick in the wall .” (Emphasis added. Also see reference below) School is not the place to inject, inculcate, dictate to children or parents the agenda of the special interest groups.  It is not the place where The Virginia General Assembly nor the Department of Education nor the education system in general gets to “condition” our children’s minds into little bricks and fit them into their socially engineered institutional wall so that they can contain the parents and blot out their natural and God given authority to choose how to raise our children.  The “common issues” of trans-gender children, or otherwise, is the sole responsibility of the parents and the paraprofessionals or professionals of their choosing to address in the privacy of their own homes, lives, or doctors’ offices.  All children, and the children before them had to come to grips and deal with the realities of life around them.  Oh please!  That “evidence-based best practices” is nothing more than a weapon thrown at administrators, teachers, parents, and students to disarm them and bend them into lock-step conformity.  Look at the special interest groups that are behind this, look at the party of your state government for a minute, just a second even.  They selected the sources behind the “evidence-based best practices” to conveniently fit their agenda.  They did so because they have the power and position to do as thy please, and there is no balance nor objectiveness in their walking roughshod over us.  It says, “For all students,” but that is yet another tactic to disarm every echelon of resistance, and they do it well indeed. The Nazis (Hitler) did this, the Soviets (Stalin) did this, Mao Tse-tung did this, and millions died.  They spread misinformation, disinformation, outright lies socially, scientifically, economically, and of religions. Children, friends, relatives, and neighbors turned against each other.  We have a Constitution, a Bill of Rights, freedom of speech, and we have choice; anyone, anyone seeking to demand control of our thinking, take away our speech, and choice, and even to the extent of using our children against us, are indeed marching down the very same road that led these three tyrants to power, and subsequently to murder their own people.  Yes, I am talking about you, every member of The Virginia Department of Education, and every special interest army (organization) you have lined up behind you, and every “fifth-column” parent that supports you; you are the Hitler, the Stalin, the Mao that seeks to kill freedom of thought, speech, and choice.  Yes, you seek to preach your religion in front of the class, in the hallways, in the lunchroom, and in the auditorium. Your proposed doctrine, your “draft model policies for the treatment of transgender students... [truncated]\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The biological gender has been the model for all males and females throughout world history, and any other concerns of feelings of gender apart from the biological gender should be discussed and overcome with the help of professional counselors. A K-12 school setting should never be the training grounds for gender confusion.  It is impossible for a school system to handle the problems and the abuse that will come from this false training. Each individual is clearly created at birth with their biological sex which is either male or female.  Any feelings that are different from that biological sex gender should be loving, thoughtfully addressed by their parents or medical professional so that they can fully reach their potential in life with the gender that they were created with. I ask that all training that is contrary to biological gender be held out of our school system!  I would strongly and lovingly oppose ANY and ALL training that goes against the biological gender from birth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Also, this will cause many many issues—rape of girls in bathrooms or assaults. Girls want privacy and so do boys!! Girls don’t want creepy boys coming in and looking over or under a stall at them! Trust me!! Target dealt with this same issue and were sued many times. We should not be pushing this agenda—it only creates more confusion in children! Schools teaching this...only creates more confusion!! The school must remember, parents are in charge and raise their children—the school must know its rightful position and ONLY teach education!! That’s why you’re there—to spend your valuable time teaching a proper education Math, English, Spelling, you get it...God knows how to make life work—He didn’t create someone or something and then say, “oops...that came out wrong!” He’s our divide Creator Who holds our very breathe in His hands—He gave each of us the exact body he wanted us to have for a specific purpose and reason. It would be prideful for a school to try to confuse and twist these truths. Genesis 1:27 states, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:31 states, “And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” We must simply have faith and trust that God clearly made no mistake. Creation is exactly as God planned it to be. To believe anything other would be to place yourself above God. Please don’t confuse these children. They are His creation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Statistics have revealed the devastating effect on many of our teens who have chosen to embrace or experiment with a new gender identity.  The suicide rate for these young people is shocking and heartbreaking. Parents should have every right to bring up the kids the way they feel is right for their child and not be forced to do anything. Teachers and parents need to be on the same page and have communication about what is going on and what’s right for the child. Living two separate lives is even more confusing. As someone who majored in psychology, children have enough to comprehend without being presented with gender confusion or even purposely being swayed. We want our children to be safe in the restroom, locker room, not have to question anything. We are Christians and God makes it very clear this is not right.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is literally preventing child abuse!! Editor: In response to the recent letter from Thomas Black of Leesburg regarding gender identity policies in Loudoun County Public Schools, this couldn’t be any further from the truth. And given the quote the article starts with regarding how each individual soul is deserving of kindness, respect, and justice, it strikes me as categorically hypocritical and apathetic to the needs and safety of Loudoun’s children. First, on the issue of names, it is common sense that any parent who changes the name of a child should have the unquestioned ability to do so. But so should the child. When I attended school (decades ago) it was common practice for teachers to ask for nicknames or preferred names at the beginning of each year, not because of gender identity but because of basic respect. I didn’t go by my full name, many times teachers would use a nickname or my last name. Why would a parent need to be notified over something so small as a name preference? Probably because it’s conflated with some larger need for society to be involved in the gender identity of a child. In practice, this sounds like an ideal situation to have a loving, supportive parent who can assist their child in understanding their gender identity in safety and plan whatever steps they may need next in coordination with an affirming doctor and therapist. But that isn’t reality. As a child, I was the subject of great physical and verbal abuse because it was assumed I was gay because I was perceived as effeminate. I’m not. I could explain in gruesome details the injuries and hospital visits I suffered, but surely we all can understand that many children are the victims of such abuse. For many, appeals to police and courts prove unfruitful because parents either lie about how the child was prone to “accidents” or blackmail children into recanting lest it “ruin the family.” In November, my wife and I fostered a transgender boy who had been kicked out of his home at 17, early in his senior year and amid COVID after years of abuse. Imagine the difficulty in trying to assume adulthood, plan for college, and begin a life when your parents are actively trying to hurt and abandon you? How many children, LGBTQ+ and otherwise, commit suicide because they lack support and love while facing abuse in their family? How many hide scars because they are conditioned to believe that disclosing their abuse would only result in far harsher abuse? Far too many. This is not a rare occurrence. Not all parents are supportive and if a child feels they can’t share their gender identity, the school system should respect that for that child’s safety. As for how other people address transgender and non-binary students, I find it to be either an intellectually dishonest argument, a complete lack of understanding of true scripture, or a clear attempt to twist religion to support transphobic views to state that we must call people based on their “biology.” There is simply nothing to back up biblically mandated pronouns. If God created man, then certainly he created transgender man, too? Science has shown again and again that gender identity is deeply rooted in a person’s biology, their minds, and their body. Research has proven that failing to support a child’s gender identity by failing to use a proper name and pronouns, leads to a significant decline in their ability to learn and form friendships while leading to a significantly higher risk of suicide? The mental health community has affirmed repeatedly that gender identity is not a mental illness, but an inherent, biological part of who each of us is. Most people have talked to, worked with, or even shared a bathroom with transgender person without realizing they are anything other than their perceived gender. But even disregarding all of this, who are any of us to judge someone else for who they are? What about “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you”. (Matthew 7:1-3) In what way does calling someone the right pronoun infringe on our ability to be practitioners of our religion? Are we going to challenge every masculine woman or feminine man? What about those who legally change their gender? Or biologically change their body past the point it’s even perceptible they were born another sex? Where will we draw the line? We shouldn’t draw lines, we should just respect each other with basic human dignity. People exist along a spectrum and just like in every other aspect of life, they deserve kindness, respect, and justice. It can literally save a child’s life.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This would be very confusing and awkward for many younger students who would not understand this process or concept as it may contradict what is being taught at home.  I understand the urgency for all children, students, to feel accepted, but that is not at the cost of forcing such protocols upon us.  Acceptance and respect should be the goal.  Altering restrooms, and any other gender specific arenas, to accept all genders will be the doorway to other more serious issues and situations.  We have already made accommodations to address this issue.  We do not need, nor should we, blurr the lines.  We were created man and woman and should identify as such in respect to situations that might insight backlash.  We are entitled to feel as we wish, but not to use those feelings to cause disruption and to go against Godly principles and teachings.  I want all children to feel safe and accepted for whomever they want to be, but this is not a good move.  I do not endorse.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As your document indicates, we need to help every student feel safe in school. “Because of societal prejudice and lack of awareness or understanding, transgender students may experience rejection, criticism, or bullying, that affect their emotional health and academic achievement.” I support maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment free from discrimination and harassment for all students. Every student deserve respect and compassion. And every student has something marvelously unique to share with the world. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I'm all for helping children, but they are not helped when adults knowingly remove clear gender/sex categories and advance ideas that defy science, creation, and biological facts.  To do so is to add confusion to the already-confused.  It is clear that bullying and mistreatment of any children is morally wrong and should be addressed.  Children, whether experiencing gender confusion, same-sex attraction, cognitive problems, mental challenges, or any other personal challenges, should not experience bullying or harassment. However, these things are already wrong, and children who bully are (or should be) addressed; it doesn't warrant any specialized document for a specific type of bullying/harassment. The proposed guidance reinforces and creates more confusion within not only with the gender-confused child (who needs help) but the surrounding children as well.  I'm strongly opposed to this measure. Donovan C.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It will force social perception through group pressure. It will compromise free will. It will set a policy that establishes government as the responsible party in children's lives. (Will a teacher be there for them if they attempt to harm themselves or others in days past school years?) It will disrespect the transgender child by putting him/her in an uncomfortable situation when forced to go into a locker room with those who identify with their biological sex. It will contradict biological text books. It will contradict and attempt to re-envision American history. It will force a type of religion on all students since they must be \"under the law\".

Here is what those in SUPPORT are ACTUALLY asking for (and don’t even realize the utter dangerous gaping openings, or “loopholes” in it); this is the pandora’s box YOU ARE fighting to open: 1.  State dictated morals and values 2.  State censured speech 3.  State mandated indoctrination 4.  State mandated penalty and punishment for failure to conform 5.  Your child to be victimized by the law 6.  Your child to be ridiculed, and silenced by rule of law 7.  Your child to be used by the state to convict you of being a bad, and dangerous parent 8.  That your child be able to be snatched away from you, to punish you, to instill fear into you 9.  That your child be driven to hate the special children by making those special children untouchable 10.  That those “claiming” to be transgender be given special untouchable status to do whatever they want 11.  That you give any miscreant child the space to play the system against itself—he said, she said… 12.  That the taxpayers pay for all the lawsuits that will arise 13.  For rapes, and sexual abuse to be committed by innovative child bullies 14.  Fights resulting from children protecting their siblings from predators 15.  Fights resulting from a class of individuals receiving special elite like status 16.  Increased prison population due to parents being taken advantage of by vengeful juveniles, 17.  Increased juvenile detention center population due the above, and the falsely accused 18.  Increased funding for foster care when the number of children entering the system result 19.  As a result, massively depleted the state coffers, due to the numerous lawsuits 20.  Pedophile teachers (predators) using the new laws to manipulate children, parents, and the system 21.  Teachers wasting time being manipulated by students into giving passing grades at the threat of being fired 22.  Counselors being fired, or convicted when they inadvertently, or are manipulated into providing the incorrect, inaccurate, wrong treatment, or advice to a child that may result in suicide or other mental trauma 23.  The State to assume totalitarian authority over its citizens 24.  That students be used against their teachers and parents 25.  That teachers be used against parents 26.  That an avenue, a tool be implemented to shut parents and teachers up when the state chooses to do so 27.  For the State to be the mouthpiece for special interest groups agenda’s  who strategically seek to circumvent (do an end-run around) the parent, science, and religion to access and use their children’s vulnerability against them 28.  That a door be opened to whatever happens to be the prevailing special interest of the time; because this “Draft Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students” will become a legal precedent.  NAMBLA must be overjoyed at the Virginia General Assembly and VDOE’s actions here. 29.  That every concerned parent takes their children out of public school and place them in private schools or home school or create other avenues of education or simply move out of state 30.  That parents that cannot afford those avenues in number 29 suffer subjugating their children to an environment so caustic it is mentally damaging 31.  That parents that cannot afford those avenues in number 29 be ever in fear of losing their children 32.  That they (through the state) can bully, manipulate, social engineer, stigmatize, etc. by rule of law any that oppose them 33.  That parents exit the state, or lose jobs, thus defaulting on loans, thus reduced spending, and tax revenues, essentially a chain reaction of events that is profoundly tragic in the end 34.  Finally, the State and School system will not be able to support the massive numbers of staff that will be required to handle the unsurmountable volume of erupting problems that will occur within our schools because of such a blatantly obvious perversion of the use of law. Those of you who are FOR, or APPROVE, or in SUPPORT of this new VGA, VDOE “Draft Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students” truly don’t even see your own fatal flaw of reasoning, or don’t want to.  I implore you, reassess your thinking on this proposed policy, think about the totality of its impact.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Just because you were born different than someone else, does not give you the power to say they do not deserve the same rights and protections you have.  Entitlement is never waking up wondering if you can be yourself without being told its wrong.  It is our job to protect our children--ALL our children--and to understand that as a people we evolve, change, grow and learn what we thought to be true, may not be.  That what society identified as true may have been a product of those times.  The earth is not flat.  The parts you were born with do not determine the gender you are.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If there is one thing that I know for certain with all of my heart it is that school should be a place where students, no matter how they identify, feel safe, loved, and respected. When guardians send their children to public schools, they are putting their trust in the adults who work at that school to care for their children and to look out for them. Yet, there are entirely too many LGBTQ+ children attending public school in Virginia, and the United States in general, who dread coming to school every single day, fearful of what might happen to them within the walls of the school building. LGBTQ+ children face bullying at levels much higher than those of their cis-gendered, heteronormative peers. This bullying can have dire effects on a student's mental health leading to depression, anxiety, or suicide. LGBTQ+ children are just that: children. These children exist all across the country and they are relying on the adults in charge to do their job and help protect them. My job is to educate these children, but I can't do that job if they are living in fear and feeling unloved. It is not a child's job to make you feel comfortable. It's an adult's job to make sure a child is comfortable being their true, authentic self and that they are safe while doing so. So again, I whole-heartedly support these policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Theses matters that the school system deems as child abuse where the school system states that the parent is basically insensitive to the gender of the child is simply put, ridiculous and at these times where many issues are confusing to children, the idea of gender confusion may very well enter in, but the fact that family crises cause most of these issues does not mean that the child needs to begin a permanent change in his body format because of temporary confusion. Why doesn't the school system offer more counseling to families to help with confusion prevention instead of creating division between parent and child.

I see that many of the supporters of this guidance simply say they support it and want everyone to be treated equitably.  I would like to make two points.  First, for everyone to be treated fairly, you have to consider those children and families that feel that sexual identity is a physical issue assigned at birth and not a psychological issue determined throughout ones life.  Forcing everyone to align with one view or another is not treating everyone fairly.  Second, I agree with the supporters assertion that all should be treated fairly.  As another commenter has pointed out, bullying laws have already been established and teachers should ensure that everyone is treated with respect.  Americans need to respect everyone, not agree with everyone.  Healthy relationships do not ensue from being forced to align with an ideology.  Healthy relationships develop when opposing views can be presented (and adhered to) with respect for those opposing views.  The department of education needs to focus on its mandate to educate our children and not venture into establishing their personal moral views.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Moreover, it expressly pushes teachers, administrators, etc. to keep information of the child secret from the parents. The teachers, administrators, etc. have no idea what is happening at home, can only base judgement from one side (child), and the scant information they can collect; and thus, may be unaware of other health, mental, or social issues the child is facing. Such lack of information could be detrimental to the child and is why the parents MUST be included and informed. This is unacceptable to have the school system subvert the role of parents in the development of their own children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a nurse and mother of three children I know that children need to be accepted and feel safe and supported in school in order to have any success in school. As a Christian I feel it is important that we help children listen to their inner voices and their inner knowings which are the ways that they will be able to connect most closely with God. In order to do that they have to have safe spaces. This set of policies and its adoption will allow teachers to feel better supported in order to help all students. These policies are not about pushing anyone to be or do anything but instead focus on what it means to make a safe environment for all individual children and teenagers. We love putting people into categories and groups and to make things black and white but we all know that on so many things we are not black and white or one or the other. Gender expansiveness and the gender spectrum are not new phenomena. Neither are issues of faith and doubt. We need to have  the language and understanding to be inclusive and affirming of transgender students. All students deserve to be seen and understood. Thank you for these policies and for prioritizing the safety, well-being, and inclusion of all Virginia students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If a child is injured or sick or being bullied, a parent is (or should be) contacted. This should be the case even if the child requests the parent not be informed, including the situation of a child keeping secret a transgender status. A second area of concern is overnight school-sponsored activities. Others may not be bothered but any student who refuses to share a room with a transgender student should be permitted to be in a different room. A third concern is any student who claims to have a fluid gender and is creating havoc for teachers who never know how to address this student. In summary, children are the ultimate responsibility of parents even though schools do carry responsibility while the students are in their care. It seems the teachers are having another weight thrust on them with these additional guidelines. But remember that parents should always be informed of issues or changes faced by their child(ren) so that they can properly help their child(ren). Thank you for considering my comments. Sincerely, Rev. Eddy Aliff Executive Director Virginia Assembly of Independent Baptists\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Prior, sensible policy recognized the importance of creating a safe learning environment for ALL students, which requires moderating the excessive behavior of some students when they become potentially harmful towards others. A very small but very vocal minority of students, outside activists, and policy makers have banded together to try to normalize the aberrant and often self-destructive behaviors associated with gender dysphoria in young children. Worse yet, they seek to affirm these aberrant behaviors by forcing others to play along and call children by preferred pronouns, made up names, etc. This is nonsensical and encourages other youths who are merely attention seeking to mimic such behaviors because of the attention and control it grants them. Worse yet, it creates opportunities for sexually curious or sexually predatory children to parade into the bathrooms, locker rooms, and sleepovers of opposite gendered children and victimize them. What about the rights of the majority of children to privacy and security? And where will this end? Will male faculty be able to identify as female on a whim and parade into the girls' locker rooms as well? If not, why not? Where is the logical end to this? None of this is even the worst part of this guidance document though. The worst part is that it champions a duplicitous approach of deceiving parents who are opposed to this nonsense by referring to their children according to their legal name and gender when communicating with the parents about their children, while duplicitously indulging young gender dysphoric or merely attention-seeking children behind their parents' backs in the school setting. Driving a wedge between parents and their children has become the job of Virginia public schools? Abrogating their responsibility to create a safe learning environment by protecting young children from sexualization and sexual predation has become the job of Virginia public schools? Encouraging and indulging sexual dysphoria in young children has become the job of Virginia public schools? Ask yourselves - why have we maintained these gender distinctions over the centuries? Is all that is past bad? Is all that is past harmful and malevolent? Or could some parts of culture and custom perhaps be beneficial? Could they even represent tacit wisdom that should only be very cautiously discarded and replaced after careful consideration and consensus-building? Has it occurred to you that gender distinctions may be more beneficial than harmful? Has it occurred to you that parents who love their children might care more for their long-term health and development than you do about this politically charged issue of the day? Has it occurred to you that this naked affront to the guardianship of parents over their children will instead further drive a wedge between parents and the public school system? What are you really trying to accomplish here? What alternatives have you considered? Is there a better solution that does less harm?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Unfortunately our family base has become weaker, lack of guidance and children in many homes are left to figure out life on their own.  Maybe we should start teaching the bible in school, God's word, oh but that might offend someone, after all it would be more of a rewarding life to follow, and maybe teach them how to respect others, love each other, and how to become a productive adult in a shattered, immoral world. I agree that children need to understand that some children are different, medically, psychologically, or by choice .  All people need to be respected, but I will teach my grandchildren Godly things, not things of the world or what our school system wants them to believe.  Our leaders of our country, our local government, and our school leaders need to ask themselves, who do I serve? God or the world?  Unfortunately, I don't believe our leaders listen to our concerns anyway or the above as written.   Again, God help and heal our country.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each othe r. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men , and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved. Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness , sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God , insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them , too.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The Acknowledgments section clearly indicates a lack of diversity in viewpoints, and no reasonably-minded parent could ever support the nonsense contained within this draft policy. You have, out of concern for a small group of people, endangered so many more. It is my absolute right as a parent to trust that my children, in their most vulnerable circumstances, such as using a restroom or changing room, would not have their privacy violated by the mere unchallenged assertion of identity from another student. The social dynamic imposed by these policies, as well as the unreasonable limitations placed on teachers who might otherwise be able to use common sense to protect the innocence of children, will create a disastrous educational environment the no parent could ever think of educating their children in. I strongly oppose the pretenses of this document, and strongly oppose these policies and any school who chooses to adopt them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Sexual practices, whether heterosexual or homosexual, and instruction and exploration into gender identity--these are issues that should not be taught in a public school--they belong elsewhere--in family homes, in places of worship, among close friends, or with private counsel.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I will highlight only three. 1.  Children need guidance from their parents, who have the moral and legal responsibility for their well-being.  The policy explicitly interferes with that relationship by excluding the parents in a crucial area of the children's lives.  Decisions about a child's gender should be made with parental knowledge, input and in most cases, with their consent. 2.  Children, by their very nature, are young and immature.  A fair reading of the policy would seem to allow school authorities and medical personnel to facilitate or at least encourage  puberty blocking treatment.  There is strong scientific evidence that such treatment is medically and psychologically damaging. 3.  Sports activities become a quagmire when children are allowed, at their whim, to decide that they are a male or female from one moment to another.  Yet the proposed policy seems to allow it.  There have been more than a few publicized cases where it is apparent on its face that a child with mostly, if not all, male physical characteristics, is able to compete against female athletes.  The inherent unfairness is self-evident. There are some laudable goals here.  Transgender children should not be bullied.  We must act with compassion and understanding.  But cutting off parental knowledge and input is a bridge too far.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Our public schools should be a welcoming and safe place for all of our students, whatever their needs, preferences, home life, etc. Adding specific policies to ensure the equity of transgender students seems like a step that should’ve already been taken. It has been a tumultuous year for our nation and our state. For me, it has been a wake up call that going back to decent, common practices of tolerance, acceptance, and respect for our fellow man needs to be more of a priority in our culture and society. Given that so many social interactions happen within our schools means that we need to be addressing situations that may feel uncomfortable or that may counter what some parents or families are trying to promote at home. Without contradicting a parents’ right to instill their opinions in their child, I want to be in a classroom where all of my students feel welcome and accepted and able to speak up and share their opinions without fear of repercussions or ramifications from administration or their peers. To that end, I support proposed legislation that would alter policies to ensure that transgender students have equal rights, equal say, and equal protection.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If you allow to have a gender neutral bathrooms and lockers, I don't see how can the children be protected!!

The education of our children should not include sexual preferences or even be addressed in curriculum in the school setting. These types of conversations should be left to each family to discuss with their children in their home. This goes completely against the Christian belief and forces Christian children and parents to go along with something that they are being taught by their parents, their church, and their culture is wrong. Treating each other fairly, can be done without forcing everyone to believe something that is not right in their own eyes! It would be just as easy to develop curriculum to teach children to love each other and to respect other people's decisions without forcing them to go along with someone else's decisions.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No one has the right to dictate what pronouns someone must use when speaking about them in the third person. It is also highly inappropriate and even dangerous for government employees to be given the right, and even the mandate, to violate parental rights by perpetuating gender confusion and transgenderism in schoolchildren. What is being implemented in these proposals is Queer Theory. This is an ideology concocted in universities by academics such as Judith Butler. It demands that people believe that biological sex is fluid and even meaningless. This is scientifically wrong and medically dangerous.

I agree that all students, including LGBTQ, are entitled to be safe from bullying and harassment.  Having said this, it is important not to go too far in the other direction.  Excluding parents from the discussion because \"they wouldn't understand\" is misguided at best, sinister at worst, and labeling them as abusive or neglectful for not using the child's chosen pronouns takes it to a whole new level.  Allowing boys into the girls' locker room and the other way around is a recipe for disaster.  (And if we're throwing out the norms for gender, how can we have boys' and girls' sports teams anymore?)  And if anyone calls a TG by the \"wrong\" pronoun, they are considered bullies.  I have to question who is bullying whom here? As of 2018, our high school students were ranked 38th in the world in math scores and 24th for science, according to the World Population Review.  despite having one of the highest budgets in the world.  Maybe we should focus more on core subjects, especially since many have missed the entire last year, and less on pushing forward a political agenda that has nothing to do with education.

The proposed Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students elevates the needs of some above the needs of others. For instance, the identified need of a child to express his or herself in terms of adopting stereotypical feminine or masculine dress or expression is elevated above the parents' rights to guide and care for their child; the need of a child who does not conform to their biological sex is elevated above the rights of children who conform to their biological sex by preventing the latter from privacy in bathrooms and locker rooms. Interestingly the policies are written claiming to remove barriers for one group, without recognizing they are creating barriers for others. For instance a biological boy who is allowed to compete against biological girls may eliminate the biological girl from advancing. Remember back in the 70's when women's sports was created to recognize that girls and women needed a separate space to fairly compete in athletics? All children need love, respect and safety, but these policies are not considering \"all\" but are elevating one class above another. Thus, I oppose these policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

People are either boys or girls. This bill opposes freedom of speech and compels people to certain forms of speech against their conscience and reality. It is not love to let people persist in delusion. Boys and girls want to have separate bathrooms. I don't want penises in the bathroom with my daughters. Plain and simple. No one wants that. Transgender people are not killing themselves because they can't use a certain bathrooms. They are committing suicide even cause they have been lied to and feel despair and desperation I'm their souls. Pray for them, but do not go along with this diabolical attack on the family, reason, freedom of speech, and natural law. The language used in this bill is contrived. We are not \"assigned\" genders. We are one thing or another. The amount of people who are actually intersex due to chromosomal abnormalities is vanishingly small and the grand exception and does not prove a rule. Propagating this ideology further will lead to further destruction. I will pray a rosary for all those demoralized and captured by the transgender ideology and for all those who propagate it that they may turn back to Christ and cease this diabolical, in the true sense of the word, against humanity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

That being said, I do not think it is appropriate that children can sit down with a school team and decide to change their gender/pronoun/name/etc in student information systems without the approval of a parent. Be who you want, experiment, do what you need to do, but taking those rights away from parents is incredibly inappropriate. When a child turns 18, they are a legal adult and can change what they need to. Until then, children are minors, and parents should be required to sign paperwork or change gender/name/pronoun/etc.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

When I came out as trans to close friends and family in middle school, people were afraid of how everyone else would react. When I came out publicly in high school, some of those fears were realized. Myself and other trans students were often harassed for simply existing, though many students and teachers were positive and supportive presences. I'm lucky that many people in my high school attempted to create a physically safe, at least, environment for trans students but even that isn't guaranteed everywhere. Please push for protections for us. By being more formally protected by the State's education department, trans students can be better protected from discrimination to focus on being kids and doing their schoolwork, extracurriculars, and living their childhoods to the fullest like everyone should. No child should face discrimination and prejudice and you have the wonderful opportunity to protect future kids! Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It shouldn't be decided by some sick minded person. That's is exactly what is happening.

I attended Virginia schools. I graduated from high school in which I was intensely sexually harassed every single day. I guarantee you that any of the boys and men (those who had failed a few years) would have followed me into a restroom or locker room if they were allowed to do so with no questions asked. I ask you to seriously consider the safety of girls. Please consider the fact that you are telling girls that you don’t care if they are scared, if they have privacy, if they are protected. You are telling half of the population of the school that you are willing to make them victims. This concern has nothing to do with transgender children. Please provide gender neutral restrooms for people who need them. Please provide safe restrooms and locker rooms for girls. You are responsible for the safety of girls. This is not a religious argument. Refer to utilitarianism (a secular theory). Does this action produce the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people? The consequences of any action will determine if it is right or wrong. How do the consequences affect the majority?  Apply Kantian ethics, judge this action by how it would appear as a universal code of behavior. How does this work when it applies to all people, at all times? There are very logical reasons to explain how this is detrimental. There is a very simple solution, provide gender neutral restrooms and locker rooms. Children are supposed to be kept safe in school. Keep the girls safe. Please try to use logic. Please keep half of your school population safe and feeling protected and secure- that is your job.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Further, this strips parents of their ability to protect their child from being immersed in an environment they don’t agree is healthy for their child’s mental, emotional and moral development. Essentially, this law forfeits the rights and protections of the majority for the promotion of an agenda that ignores and denies natural law. Further, no matter what labels you assign to any self-reported identity does not, can not and will never change the fact that, with the exception of very rare conditions, each and every individual is born as a male or a female and nothing can change that. Surgeries and body mutilation will never change that person chromosomes, which is what has always and will always define one’s gender. This abomination needs to stop before these perverse ideologies destroy our youth, rob them of their innocence and continue to foster and promote mental illness.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Male, female, all races, and transgender kids. Everyone. I don’t think it’s my place to put judgement on others, in particularly kids who have faced unbearable internal struggles with their gender, because it’s something that neither I, nor my child, has ever had to face! If you don’t know that persons struggles, why would any loving person want to add to that? They are someone’s child, and as a mother, it would break my heart if someone treated my son badly. For any reason! The suicide rates for these kids are incredibly disturbing. Providing a safe environment at schools where kids spend the most time, and the most formative of their years, is the least we can do.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The schools job is to educate children on facts. If schools educated our children on every feeling we’ve ever had then you would run a circus instead. Feelings of being a different gender, an animal, or anything else is strictly that- feelings. The dangers of putting a male into the girls locker room based on feelings will open up a whole new set of problems including rape, sexual abuse, among many more. Males will “feel” like a female to get into the locker room and do harm. It would be insanity for schools to be inviting this type of misconduct. Where is the protection for the girls who don’t want to take their clothes off on front of a biological male? If schools are caving to feelings now then I support a separate neutral changing area for those children who’s “feelings” do not match their body. This is the only way to keep EVERYONE safe. Also, schools should NEVER replace a parents role. It’s is absurd that children would be allowed to do anything outside of their parents wishes and then keep that from the parents. Every statement I’ve ever signed from the schools state “we (parents/teachers) are a team and we work together”. Doesn’t that seem like a better idea?

Adult sanction of a homosexual orientation would merely foster thinking and behavior contrary to the child's best interest, at a time in children's lives when experimentation with self-destructive behavior has long, dire consequences.  To tacitly urge a child to experiment with abominable behavior would sow the seeds for his or her psychological anguish, later in life.  Homosexuality and transgenderism amount to behaviors that bring terrible suffering, because the Creator judges them as severe sin.  Youths naturally rebel against injustice (real or imagined), but the actual injustice would be encouragement of young people to experiment with homosexual behavior!  If homosexuality were genetically determined, it would have become extinct long ago, due to much-lower reproductive rates by gay couples.  Instead, transgenderism and homosexuality would be unwise responses to demonic temptations, remediable by the LORD Jesus Christ and the application Christian sound doctrine.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy document promotes the transgender ideology. This policy document treats gender identity as more important than biological sex. If implemented the policy would even force teachers and students to echo back what those who have “transgendered” themselves want to believe about themselves. Forcing people to say things they do not believe violates the First Amendment. Our public schools should be safe for all people, not just those troubled with ‘gender dysphoria.’ --The Alliance opposes recommendations to accommodate transgender students in all public school restrooms. In comments filed on a draft the Prince William County affiliate of the Family Foundation urged the State to protect privacy and modesty of all students rather than require schools to allow all students to use any restroom based on a temporary identification with a sex other than that of their birth. --The Alliance explained that it believes that in the beginning “God created man in his image, in the image of God He created him: male and female He created them.\" Our gender is in our DNA.” While it said that it condemned bullying or mistreatment of any transgender persons who doubt their birth gender, the proposed transgender policy does not take into account its potential detriment to transgender students. Physicians claim that in the majority of cases young people who question their birth gender come to terms with who they are by young adulthood and move forward in their original gender. Transgender students adopt clothing and a hair style like their ‘gender identity,’ take a different given name and use preferred pronouns when referring to themselves or when being addressed. Giving them access to bathrooms and showers of a gender other than that corresponding with their genitalia will not satisfy their ‘gender dysphoria.’ Rather it will reinforce the confusion and intensify their focus and that of their fellow students on this narrow aspect of their self-image. Many transgender youths take hormones that will induce irreversible sex change. Though it sounds simple, the hormones weaken bone development and possibly affect brain development that continues into young adulthood. In most cases the hormones render them sterile. The secondary sex changes induced by hormone therapy are permanent: girls develop facial hair, a deepened voice and often the girls have their breasts surgically removed to appear more masculine. Boys are feminized to develop breasts, a higher-pitched voice and again, are rendered sterile. If, later, transgender individuals regret their decision, they cannot reverse the damage done to their bodies. This often leads to depression and even suicide. Family Alliance President Ruth Dale says her group endorses kind and respectful treatment of transgender students but emphasizes “We also want the student body of which the transgender students are a part be to be treated with equal respect and dignity. They have a right to privacy and modesty. Sharing bath and shower rooms with students having different genitalia does not serve that end.” Therefore, we oppose ‘open’ use of bathrooms and shower rooms by transgender students. Instead, single-person toilet and shower facilities should be provided for transgender students’ use. It is the most equitable way to help all students.” Alliance Secretary Richard Salmon also requested that Virginia senators and delegates who last March mandated local school boards adopt the State Board policy not then yet in existence, suspend that requirement until the state department adopts a final policy and the General Assembly conducts oversight hearings on the resulting “model.” A draft has been published at Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia Public Schools (virginia.gov) . The public is invited to comment between now and 11:59 pm. on February 3 ( CLICK ON => Guidance Document Public Comment Forum (virginia.gov) . We encourage all the citizens of Virginia to comment on the proposed policy. We believe the parents and grandparents of school age should be irate about this policy proposal.

First and foremost, regarding school interference in determining gender identity, the recommended standard reads: “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.” A child’s gender and greater identity are intimate and personal. They are not the business of the school or the government. This is a topic and discussion that should rightly be handled within the family unit, and the government (and by extension schools) should not interfere with family business and the personal decisions of students and their family members. It is not the job of the school to impose their viewpoints on such personal matters, and it is certainly the job of the school to communicate personal concerns with family members. Just as a school would have an obligation to communicate to a parent or guardian if a child were experiencing depression, engaging in risky behavior, considering suicide, or demonstrating addictive personality or behaviors, parents should be informed of all substantive issues regarding their children. A student’s gender identity and personal beliefs, thoughts, and worries are between a student and their family, and it rests solely within that boundary lest we continue to give the government more control over our ability to raise, parent, and advise our own children. Secondly, can you please explain how discipline and consequences for not using correct pronouns will be enforced? I would like additional information on the punitive steps that will be taken against faculty or students who violate the “pronoun” policy. The draft policy reads: “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.” I oppose this. Parents should be notified immediately if there child is called in for remediation or discipline for violating ANY school policy. Parents should be informed and actively engaged in any disciplinary consequence (short of a verbal warning) the school enforces on their child at any level. Further, the standard implies consequences to the family as well. It reads: “School staff should be prepared to support the safety and welfare of transgender students when their families are not affirming.” What would this look like? Would the school report child abuse if a family was not “affirming” of their child’s proclamation regarding gender identity? Sexual preference and sexual decisions do not belong in the schools; this is not the job or purview of public education. Please keep these topics out of the public school system, and let families handle personal decisions regarding students. I am unsure what qualifies teachers, administrators, superintendents, or even counselors in the school system to have the authority to “help” these children with their decisions without consultation with parents who have birthed these children, raised these children, paid for all their needs and necessities, and cared for them throughout their childhood. There is NO outside authority in this facet of a child’s life but that of the parents. And frankly, whether or not a parent “affirms” a behavior, proclamation, action or stance of their child is of no business to the school. The school, nor any of it’s agents, are not a parent. Period. Finally, I believe there are major safety and privacy violations that would follow the decision to make bathrooms openly available to both genders. The draft policy requires “ Access to facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to a student’s gender identity shall be available to all students.” Further, faculty and students cannot confront a student regarding their entry into the restroom. As an adult woman, I can think of nothing more humiliating, embarrassing, or uncomfortable than being a pubescent girl having to share a bathroom with a biological boy. Although I can’t speak to their experiences, I would imagine boys might also feel the same discomfort in sharing a bathroom with a biological female. I feel like not allowing young ladies their privacy is gender discrimination. Have these recommendations been based on research and data regarding the safety of such decisions? Since bullying and bad behavior often take place in areas within the schools in which teachers have limited access, I would urge you to reconsider putting ANY student (transgender or otherwise) into a situation that might further perpetuate bullying and violence. Why is it not possible to put a single transgender bathroom in schools—much like a family bathroom found at many stores and mall areas? It seems that this would be a better decision to allow transgender students the spaces they need while ensuring the safety and privacy of ALL students. Please don’t make decisions that benefit one population of students to the detriment of all the others. I want every child to have a safe and productive school experience, but I believe this policy does not allow that for ALL students. Thank you for allowing a forum for parents to voice their concerns.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have serious reservations on aspects of the \"Model Policies for Treatment of Transgender Students in VA Public Schools\" and request substantial modification or rescission. While I am supportive of efforts to reduce bullying and harrassment, these guidelines go far beyond supporting a safe school environment by endorsing positions on transgenderism that include controversial and harmful ideas such as male and female being being defined as a 'cluster of physical features' or that gender identity is declared at age 5-6.  These ideas are harmful, particularly when shared by authority figures (the public school).  They directly oppose the firmly held and scientifically based reality of men and women.  I fear for the confusion we introduce into children that will bring them long term harm. If the intent is to reduce bullying and harrassment, please focus on respecting the dignity of the individual and do not accompany these guidelines with definitions and education that are firmly rejected by science and the Judeo-Christian faith.  Parents must have say in the education of their children.  The concepts of transgenderism are complex and should not be promoted in public schools. ---------- The proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six ” – that are 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. - 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.

Actual gender, as gender has been defined for thousands of years, is a biological fact, established by a person's chromosomes at conception -- not at birth as is asserted in these draft regulations.  Although male and female genitalia are outward signs of ones' biological gender, rare cases of birth defects do occur where the genitalia are not formed normally which may indeed foster gender confusion.  Most gender confusion, however, is a psychological condition where a person feels or self-identifies as other than their biological gender. Accordingly, any discussion of school policy concerning students suffering with gender confusion or ambiguity should be predicated upon truth, the primacy of parental responsibility for the health, welfare, and education of their children, and a profound respect by the state for their dignity as individuals.  This dignity must be in equal proportion, neither greater nor lesser, to the dignity of the majority of students who individually identify with their biological gender. The definition of the condition must first be predicated upon objective biological gender as established chromosomally.  Gender identity becomes a policy issue in cases where an individual's subjective perception of their gender assignment differs in some way from their biological gender. Second, the role of the state is to support parents as they guide their children through their development.  Any language that discourages educators from discussing the outward manifestation of a student's gender identity with their parents or presumes that gender confusion should be encouraged by educators against a parents' wishes should be stricken from the policy.  Similarly, any language that presumes that a parent supporting their child's gender identity with their biological gender is inherently abusive is fundamentally flawed and should be stricken. Third, all students should be protected and treated with equal dignity.  Any policy that allows individuals who are not truly gender-confused to use gender identity as a ruse to gain access to the private facilities intended for their opposite sex (e.g. bathroom, showers, changing rooms, etc.) should be stricken and modified to protect the dignity of all students equally. Finally, and most importantly, no state educational regulations should infringe upon the citizens' free exercise of their religious beliefs.  Where these beliefs intersect with gender identity, the regulations must respect the primacy of these religious beliefs and allow parents to educate their children consistent with these beliefs.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Additionally, I love sports but can not participate because I don't feel comfortable on the girls nor boys teams. Gender-neutral athletic opportunities are strongly needed for students to feel included. Also, FLE courses need to include normalization and discussion of LGBTQIA+ individuals to help students feel like they belong. There is both subtle and overt discrimination for LGBTQIA+ students at school. For example, students laugh and make fun of a sign designed to promote positive LGBTQIA+ support. It's isolating when classmates are laughing at who you and your friends are. The VDOE Model Policies would make school safer and more inclusive for me and other LGBTQIA+ students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No one who cares about children would encourage a child to embark on a path of irreversible damage to their bodies because that child is experiencing some discomfort with their body. There could be many reasons for that. Why not try to help that child get down to the bottom of why they may be feeling that way? Adopting a new persona (pronouns, names, dress, etc.), hormone therapy, and surgery are all things that can not easily be taken back. Encouraging children to experiment with these things and aiding them in hiding it from their parents is the real child abuse. I strongly oppose these policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

These proposed guidelines, however well intentioned, are simultaneoisly going against science, going against religious beliefs, setting up students for unnecessary discipline, and creating environments where sexual harassment will flourish. Students can not be expected to ascertain a gender identity if it is constantly changing and is only in a specific student's mind. Furthermore, a school system should encourage scientific studies. Scientifically, a person's gender chromosomes are one thing at birth and remain that thing. It does not change during the course or a week, month, etc.. Furthermore, Scripture and science strongly agree that there are two genders. These policies are going to cause innocent students to be disciplined for no reason, for science to be thrown out the window, and for religion to be ignored. Meanwhile, the allowance of any student to use any locker room and restroom they would like WILL cause instances of sexual harassment and discomfort that are grossly unacceptable. The final result of these policies will likely be a mass exodus out of the VA Public School system. These guidelines, as written, would cause massive problems throughout the state in every county and community.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

A child does not have the wrong genitals by accident. It’s impossible. There isn’t anything legitimate about making the truth illegal. Adults entrusted with the care and well being of OTHER people’s children should take it  more seriously as opposed to pretending there is anything sincere about enrolling minors into a socially constructed perverted Cult based on highlighting the differences in the genitals of minors while seeking money to confuse kids about loving themselves as is. What clothes a child wears doesn’t determine male or female. It’s threatening, violating and dishonest to claim there is or ever was some kind of need to accommodate the enabling of state ran child abuse that strips the rights of Parents and Girls that have already been begging for common sense practice while Ignored by those invested that make money to force participation in encouraged self hatred, dangerous drugs that are harmful and genital mutilation. The fact that since 2016 ed Parents in school board meetings have pointed out the obvious hidden agenda nationwide repeatedly and also been ignored just points to how insincere it is to ask for a public poll to beg for sex based rights to safety, privacy and protections to be upheld in an environment of CHILDREN where the practice of forcing voyuerism onto minors is the discussion. Adults don’t even practice and most have no idea what’s being attempted. There are already far too many cases of Parents losing custody to a gross opportunist marketing to a minor that the only way to be happy is to hate themselves and claim a label based on sexual ideas. There wasn’t a physician in Virginia that  used a treatment plan for a child exhibiting confusion about whether they were Male or Female that included dangerous drugs, genital mutilation and forcing everyone else to play along with inaccurate pronouns. NOT 1 I have evidence that supports those facts. Facts like socially constructed confusion forced is blatant evil. I’m not scared to share those facts. I am scared that lawmakers and people of influence turn their backs on society and aim to use children as bait knowingly and don’t care about reality. Selling kids the idea their parents may not know whether their child is male or female couldn’t be more dishonest. God knows the truth so do the Global alliances  that include witnesses to the manufactured self destruction assembly line. Girls privacy isn’t yours to give away. Boys being told their personality determines whether they qualify into manhood should’ve MATTERED DAY 1. The fact that when the truth is pointed out and that includes the ZERO acknowledgement of the already known dangers and harms being ignored and dismissed of value SAYS IT ALL. There is enormous EVIDENCE and still here we are begging for the TRUTH to remain legal while the argument is whether to allow state ran child abuse to get by with holding a persons child hostage and forcing participation in child abuse painted to look pretty with the illusion that practical discretions is somehow discriminatory. You already know what is a Male and Female and so does over 99% of the population while it’s being sold as a mystery and a particular party falsely claims the ownership of those terms.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, I feel compelled as a parent (first of all) and taxpayer (secondarily) to oppose what seems to be a misguided effort to confirm basic rights. I do not believe these policies, as written, are aligned with simple logic.  If we were to extrapolate these policies to a natural next step, we are quickly asking policy-makers to establish guidelines where I dare to say that NOBODY (except perhaps the policy-makers themselves) wants to live.  (myriad examples come to mind that I dare not codify in writing...but if you disagree with me, do yourself a favor and let your mind wander to places this sort of policy might inadvertently cause harm or confusion) Establishing basic rights was done in the constitution.  It needed to be clarified a few times in history and we are better for those clarifications.  This 'clarification' oversteps grossly and creates an environment, in my opinion, where we have lost sense of what should be intuitive.  I strongly oppose the proposal as it is written, although do not oppose the heart of the individuals wishing to create a 'safe space'...I acknowledge that language is my own.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The space for children needing accommodations for uneasiness will be larger than the amount of students wanting to change their identity. Not to mention,  sexual curiosity will be allowed and children will be bouncing from bathroom to bathroom and locker room to locker room to fulfill those curiosities. If you take the parent out of the conversation you are denying families the growth TOGETHER. People are more tolerant today they are just oblivious.  Every parent has an idea about their children, sure,  but this doesn't mean they will turn their back on their child. They may see it and don't know how to help or navigate and the child FEEL that they will not understand. You can't pick and choose the trauma, worry,  etc. of a child... if you are going to hide this and be the only asset to the child then you need to be available 24/7 to all children going thru something in these formative years. You're an adult at 18, vote at 18... we can address this on a much more smaller scale than disrupting an entire school for this small group of children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Children are either male or female in their DNA. Changes cannot be made prior to adulthood. Therefore, we must protect the rights of all students to feel safe in their own body. We do that with different changing rooms, different restrooms, separating girls and boys during sensitive portions of health education. Please take into consideration the needs of many young children who have been victimized in the past. They must be allowed safe places to change and take care of bathroom needs. We can respond in a compassionate way to confused youth by allowing them separate facilities if necessary but they must not be allowed to choose to violate another child's right to change in an area free from opposite genders. Robbing the innocence of little girls by exposing them to the penis of a young boy who wishes to become a girl is not appropriate. Images are powerful. We can protect all of our children and still be compassionate. Further, I ask that you show respect for the Christian and Muslim members of our community who have deeply held religious beliefs that prevent us from calling a lie the truth. I must not refer to a boy as her, they, it, them. I must not call girls him, non-binary or other things that are not factual. As a follower of Christ and an educator, I must be truthful with my students. To attempt to coerce me to violate my deeply held religious convictions is both illegal and immoral. We can work together to find compromises that show compassion and that respect the differences of all. School should be a safe place for ALL children. Children must not be pawns in a game of adult choices.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This new and misguided guidance, from the definitions and terms it adopts to its insistence on demolishing safe spaces for girls’ athletic competition, denies this and other key features of our humanity. In so doing, the guidance will end up creating misunderstanding, loneliness, and sorrow for students, families, and our Virginia communities. When we deny the very nature of who and what we are, when we institutionalize that denial as this woebegone guidance seeks to do, we teach our children to live not in accord with reality but in bondage to a fragile fantasy that will break them one day. Oppose this guidance. It will hurt so many, just as the denial of humanity always does. This counsel is said in love and friendship for all, especially for those dealing with the confusion wrought by this sort of guidance and gender dysphoria more generally. There are real problems to be settled in this regard. This guidance does not address them, but rather compounds them. Sincerely, A fellow lover in and of Virginia\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The transgender or self determined gender identity student can alter their gender at will as there is no physical expression that confirms or dictates biological conformity. Thus a student can use gender morphism to create a hostile environment for teachers and staff. This policy infringes on religious rights and imposes responsibility of identifying arbitrary sexual identity on persons who have no ability to know what the person has determined to be their gender. It is impossible to enforce equitably and encourages greater distancing of opposing view points.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

All children are entitled to a safe, supportive learning environment where their integrity is maintained and harassment is prohibited. Black or non-black, male, female, binary or non-binary, old or young, poor or otherwise, trans or non-trans-- ALL STUDENTS ARE OUR STUDENTS. As a special education teacher, we do not have a say in which students we educate and which we turn away, which students we provide full access to civil rights and liberties and which we do not. Trans students are not a new subgroup of students; they've existed within our system for decades. It is only now that we are speaking candidly about their presence and placing direct effort into welcoming them into our rooms and schools. Insisting they're not entitled to the same rights and protections, both under FERPA and the US Constitution, is abhorrent and erroneous. If we're going to insist that we label/mark students according to specific demographics, we must still be dedicated to providing equal protection to ALL. If not, we are complicit in actively discriminating against the very students we are called to educate.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is a sick and corrupt policy that will psychologically harm a child in thinking that they cannot have real relationships with their parents. It also fosters gender confusion which is not only unnecessary, but harmful to their mental health. Childre do not have fully developed brains until they are 25 years old. There is absolutely no reason for them to be exploring any kind of sexuality or confused gender identity at this point in their lives. Let them be CHILDREN. They can use the bathroom that their parts match and leave the rest for them to decide/experiment with as an ADULT. If clothing is a problem, make a dress code that all children are to wear pants and polos. You are not only making an unnecessary change in policy  but a COMPLETELY unnecessary distraction for the children. School is to get education and to a smaller extent socialization. There is no need for this complex idiocracy. And it is completely wrong for anyone to encourage hiding things from a child's parents. Especially something so ridiculous. You also don't have the right to implement this policy without the public voting on it. It will be brought to court. We are paying you with OUR tax dollars. Therefore we get to decide on such a policy so completely absurd and not even related to our child's education.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I agree with you that every single child—including and especially those struggling with sexual confusion—should be protected from harm and harassment. 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 mandatory promotion of politicized, sexualized ideology. Considering that scientific studies and medical experts make clear the majority of children outgrow gender confusion by the time they reach adolescence—it’s, at best, irresponsible to push involuntary promotion of gender confusion in a public education setting—and, at worst, actually damaging to kids who are still developing. Furthermore, these new policies are not equitable or supporting family life in any way. This policy opens the door to defining Christian, Bible believing parents—or others of faith—who aren’t deemed to fully embrace or comply with transgender politics as “abusers.” For instance, it states that in situations “when their families are not affirming,” the school should “be prepared to support the safety and welfare of transgender students” and then encourages schools to report abuse concerns to Child Protective Services immediately. This begs the question, exactly how will “affirming” be defined and who will define it? I completely oppose this policy and do not want it forced on Virginia schools.

I personal know two families with transgender elementary school-aged children - one a friend and one a family member. In addition, I know several people with pre-teen and teenaged children whose gender identify is fluid. These are all loving families and wonderful children who deserve to feel comfortable and safe in their educational environment. As a parent, I can attest to the difficulty of raising a child. I do not want to see my children struggle, or be hurt or embarrassed, or not know how to fit it, although I recognize that all of those things will happen at some point in a child's life, probably many, many times. Most of us - children, as well as adults - just want to be accepted by our peers, and when there are circumstances that seem to set us apart from others, it can be difficult to cope. These circumstances can be anything, such race, gender/gender identity, and socioeconomic background, or even things such as recent test scores or the kinds of shoes you wear. These differences will always exist. It is up to the adults in these children's lives to provide an environment that minimizes the impact of these differences and to demonstrate that it's ok to be different. As you consider the comments related to this guidance document, I ask that you particularly consider the comments of people who have personal experience with transgender children. This is not a religious issue, nor a parenting issue, as others have argued. This is about providing guidelines to ensure that children in our state can receive an education in a safe and welcoming environment.  Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The first amendment to the constitution, freedom of speech, is not protected for anyone who does not adhere to this policy.  Parents can be reported to authorities who then can remove their child from them without them knowing what is going on until it happens.  They can be prosecuted for being a parent who cares deeply about the development of their offspring.  Allowing students of any gender into restrooms, locker rooms, and showers will be a disaster for innocent students, especially girls.  Why is their right to privacy becoming secondary and unimportant?  What if a pretender boy uses this policy to gain access for sexual exploitation?  What about a transgender girl who wishes to be on a boys swim team wearing the same attire as the boys, topless?  This policy sets up the likelihood of multiple lawsuits stemming from abuse.  Worst of all, it will mentally damage developing young people, perhaps for life. Teachers have enough to deal with just doing the job of teaching without this extra heavy handed regulation.  No wonder it is difficult keeping good teachers.  This rule will only lead to fewer applicants.  Too much to keep up with when you can make more money and better benefits elsewhere. I understand there is a need to protect gender confused students from bullying, etc. but this policy is way beyond the need.  It takes away rights of everyone else while creating additional hostility toward the proposed protected class. Reword it PLEASE!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I think it is vital to stand up to hateful anti-trans opposition to such policies from individuals who wish to deny any individuals from getting the most out of their right to education in Virginia Public Schools because of their race, religion, sexual identity, or other protected categories.  Public schools are a venue where we all have to show much more tolerance for the richness and diversity of everyone in our society.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Most of my colleagues haven't dealt with a transgender student and appreciate the guidance proposed. We want to do everything right for them, but it is a learning process while we reached out for information on how to support them. It is tough for all trans students to have their role models at school not knowing how to treat them with the full respect they deserve. This guidance would allow all schools to be equipped with the policies and procedures they need to confidently provide a safe and inclusive educational experience for all students, especially our LGBT youth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is unconscionable that policies are being considered that would allow the school to hide health and safety issues regarding transgenderism from the parents. It is equally unconscionable that, in a country founded on free speech, we are considering forced speech. If this policy is enacted, students and faculty will be told, \"You will speak in a prescribed manner, or you will be punished.\" Use whatever wonky pronoun a kid demands you use, or else! Equally unconscionable is stripping female athletes of the opportunity of competing on an equal playing field while simultaneously setting them up for career ending injuries as they make contact with boys who are competing as women. There is no escaping the scientific fact that human beings born as boys have greater muscle and bone strength than women, and will win against women in competition 90% or more of the time.  All the gains made under Title IX to open up sports for women are being erased by allowing men to compete as women. I also believe it is a form of child abuse to encourage young people in transitioning. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics , and a similar society of psychologists and psychiatrists, most of these confused young people have treatable psychological issues and need counseling, not hormones and therapy. It is immoral to encourage transgenderism in children of such a tender age, while telling the parents that they have not say in the matter.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Since gender is considered fluid and subjective then identifying children as \"transgender\" is damaging seeing as they could decide later that they are not. The subject of \"transgender\" is fluid and by the very definition of the word \"fluid\" it is not permanent, labels are. These children will have to carry that label with them and it does damage them psychologically. Not notifying parents of something this important to their child's life is not only detrimental to the child who will feel like they are leading double lives, but also drives a wedge between the child and their parents.  This creates a breakdown in the family unit which will harm the child.  Causing this type of psychological torture is not what the Board of Education is supposed to be doing. Those who are not \"transgender\" have to comply with a vocabulary that is unsustainable.  Making  children use many forms of gender pronouns for, quite possibly the same person, is confusing and detrimental to all of the children including \"transgender\".  It is a form of verbal bullying, which we know to have profound psychological effects on children. The entire idea of even applying \"transgender\" to a child is damaging as we all know that the complete psyche of a person is not set until the early twenties.  So labeling, separating, or otherwise identifying children as \"transgender\", this includes restroom facilities, not only damages the \"transgender\" child, but also the non-\"transgender\" children. This is a dangerous, and harmful policy due to it's wide range of psychological tortures to the children.  This policy is not under the rubric of the Board of Education. It is a family issue not the State.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

You are limited to approximately 3000I do not approve of the VDOE purposed draft of the Transgender Policies.  These purposed guidelines are based on radical theories that remove the distinction between male and female.  This is a radical indoctrination of our school children. As a public school teacher for 39 years, I do not believe that VDOE should draft or approve Standards that are contrary to parental rights of supervision and family values.  We should not become a socialistic state where government overrides parental and family guidelines. Bullying is never acceptable, but placing birth gender children in situations where they are uncomfortable, such as bathrooms and locker rooms,  will cause more anger and resentment among peers. Children who identify with their birth gender are being abused and threatened by these standards. If a teacher has to second guess the appropriate gender and pronoun on a daily basis, it puts added stress on the educator and does not contribute to the  educational process and purpose of a child’s education in our schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

You are limited to approximately 3000I do not approve of the VDOE purposed draft of the Transgender Policies.  These purposed guidelines are based on radical theories that remove the distinction between male and female.  This is a radical indoctrination of our school children. As a public school teacher for 39 years, I do not believe that VDOE should draft or approve Standards that are contrary to parental rights of supervision and family values.  We should not become a socialistic state where government overrides parental and family guidelines. Bullying is never acceptable, but placing birth gender children in situations where they are uncomfortable, such as bathrooms and locker rooms,  will cause more anger and resentment among peers. Children who identify with their birth gender are being abused and threatened by these standards. If a teacher has to second guess the appropriate gender and pronoun on a daily basis, it puts added stress on the educator and does not contribute to the  educational process and purpose of a child’s education in our schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In a perfect world I might add . After reading the proposal all of this is very familiar in regard to politicizing sexualized ideology; just like the Family life Education “mandate”when teachers were given a “choice”to about teaching it. If there was “disagreement” well you just had to go along to get along. Disagreeing with policy proposals does not mean one will discriminate the children in the classroom.Parental Rights have been eroding ever since Family Life Education and embracing these Transgender Policy proposals will only further erode them.These proposals not only essentially mandate promotion of gender confusion, but also create an atmosphere of discrimination toward those students and or teachers and or parents who disagree with them. Yes ,it will definitely be opening a Pandora’s box. All the children will be equally harmed by this confusion in the classroom. Who will benefit by it- oh yeah the 15 new lawyers hired by the AG and Del Marcus Simon who threatens to come after the Christians.

You state that you are trying to enhance education instead of getting distracted from it, however these guidelines aren't working towards that at all. At some point, the education department needs to step back and see what is happening to the school system. You are implementing so many rules and regulation & standards for personal development that the education is gone. I work with recently graduated individuals that can't count back money, help elderly people write checks or even properly count a till at the end of the day. These are things that ARE NOT BEING TAUGHT. It has nothing to do with how they see themselves. What are you going to do when a straight male who is a potential danger to society (because lets face it they will be out there) walks into the girls locker room claiming to be recognizing himself as a girl that day and rapes an innocent female student. Well you won't really be able to take that back will you? If you are so concerned about the transgender community then give them their own locker room and bathroom. Stop making 75% of your students uncomfortable to please the other 25% ( my own made up numbers for sure ) This has become more than it needs to be, transgender people do not need policies and resistance and more trouble and arguments.  I am more concerned about the doors that you are opening for pedophiles than the opportunities you are opening for transgenders.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I feel that to force this small minority proposal on the overall population of our children is irresponsible given the ongoing data related to high rates of suicide among people who believe that they are transgender. I do not believe that we really understand the consequences of these policies and should not take such broad societal change with potentially tragic consequences based on the “feelings” of a vocal minority. I also strongly believe that these policies are harmful to the healthy development of non transgender children and provide a clear safety risk to the all children whether trans or otherwise. Physically mixing minors in bathroom, locker room, and sleeping accommodations is abuse, and has been clearly seem as inappropriate for the vast population throughout history with clear examples of the terrible outcomes of ignoring this reality. Finally the presumption that the administrative state knows better than parents and has any power, obligation, or right to interact with children in any environment without the full knowledge and consent of parents is absolutely unacceptable. This is a fundamental violation of basic rights and has no basis in law. Public servants and politicians that have so fundamentally lost sight of their authority and roles in our society to even propose this are in violation of their oaths of office, or the professional standards of their job, and certainly the basic American values that our society is based.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Every single child—including and especially those struggling with sexual confusion—should be protected from harm and harassment. There is no question of that. And Virginia already has a good anti-bullying law. But this new, proposed policy goes way beyond prevention and crosses the line into mandatory promotion of politicized, sexualized ideology. Below are ten reasons why this should not be adopted: 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. “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) “A school administrator may need to direct school staff to abide by the wishes of a student on their asserted name and pronoun. A school employee’s intentional and persistent refusal to respect a student’s asserted name and pronoun is considered discriminatory.” (Recommended Standard, p.12) “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) 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. “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) 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. “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) 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. “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) Students will be allowed 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 evidence to a teacher or administrator, making it impossible for teachers to comply with these policies. “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) “Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence.” (Draft Policy, p.13) 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. “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) 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. “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) The requirements for schools to maintain gender-neutral dress code standards will cause disruptions and distractions, permitting boys to wear skirts and girls to go topless in activities where boys can – such as swimming activities or teams. “Students have a right to dress in a manner consistent with their gender identity or gender expression. Schools shall administer and enforce dress and grooming codes consistently across the student body, regardless of actual or perceived gender identity or gender expression. Requirements for attire for school-related programs, activities, and events shall be gender-neutral.” (Draft Policy, p.16) 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.” “Any incident or complaint of discrimination, harassment, or bullying shall be given prompt attent...

Students need to spend time learning things that will help them in life, not waste time trying to figure out what pronouns they are supposed to be using each day around other kids! A simple mistake in forgetting what gender another student happens to want to go by can cause the speaker to get in trouble. How is that not abuse for the child who inadvertently uses the wrong name/pronoun? Comments have been made that the transgender students need to feel \"welcome.\" I agree that bullying should never be an answer, however, they should not be allowed to enter into the bathrooms/shower rooms, etc. of the opposite sex just because of this. What about the girls who won't drink enough during the day hoping to avoid the bathroom because THEY are uncomfortable because a \"boy\" is in their bathroom? What about the potential for some boys to take advantage of this policy to \"prey\" on girls? Where is the safety for our girls? People are getting so over concerned about transgender people, that they are willing to stop all over the majority of us who want our privacy in areas where we should be able to have it!! The school did not \"bring the children into the world,\" parents did; why does the school system get to indoctrinate our kids? Please say NO to this dangerous policy and stick to teaching reading, math, science...\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The major issue I have are the boys that classify themselves as girls will be allowed to go into the locker room with other girls and participate in female sports even though they have the genetics of a male!! Therefore they will be stronger and be able to beat most girls in the average sport. This is setting our girls up for failure! Please STOP this nonsense!

Research shows that trans children have extremely high rates, not just of suicidal ideation, but of suicide attempts. They also suffer from high rates of discrimination, bullying, violence, of being thrown out of their homes, of homelessness, depression. We must support these children. Love them, accept them. Acknowledge the scientific reality of gender identity, of gender dysmorphia, of the social construct that is gender. Please adopt this policy.

I do not believe this proposition positions our children for what is in their best interest. We know that children undergo critical developmental stages, that overlap with their educational journey. This is why we have educational programs that promote awareness toward issues that can adversely affect our children’s safety and lives. The very fact that we identify the topic as “gender confusion” speaks to the reality that there are different genders, and that each has defining characteristics. Children are not afforded the right to legally access alcohol, tobacco, pornography, firearms, and other items that can undeniably cause them harm in their limited development. If we truly believe that a child has the ability to determine at a young age, a rational need to associate as a different gender, or CHANGE genders (which implies being something different, from what you are currently), then we should have a bunch of firemen, soldiers, princesses, and doctors running around. Yet, everyone is aware that overtime we continuously change our minds.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Whether it's Rand Paul writing \"I stood for ten and a half hours on the Senate floor to defend your right to be left alone,\" or Grover Norquist writing \"the center right coalition in American politics ...the issue that brings them to politics what they want from the government is to be left alone.\" That's all our kids are asking for - the right to be left alone, to live as who they truly are. Failure to enact this guidance, or worse railing against it, is contrary to everything that conservatism claims to be. Let's leave our kids alone to become who they are. They're already confused by why their old-folks parents would have a problem with them using the bathroom that they want to use, or dress how they want to dress. Biases are learned, not inbred. All this document does is give them the right to leave biases behind. \"Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.\" - Barry Goldwater\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This principle is self-evident.” “No one is born with an awareness of themselves as male or female; this awareness develops over time and, like all developmental processes, may be derailed by a child’s subjective perceptions, relationships, and adverse experiences from infancy forward. People who identify as “feeling like the opposite sex” or “somewhere in between” do not comprise a third sex. They remain biological men or biological women.” Stop imposing morals that contradict the Word of God.  Genesis 1:27\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The majority of students are not transgender. Permitting students who say they are to go into an unsupervised restroom without question will only lead to sexual advances whether they are wanted or not. Our youth will find work arounds to this permitting for heterosexual males/females to enter the opposite bathroom warranting inappropriate and risky behavior. While a transgender male/female may simply just want to use the restroom a male may want the chance to hide in a girls stall and do whatever he wants. You see where this is going. It is not safe for our CHILDREN. These kids are KIDS they are not healthy adults who have the capacity to make decisions/weigh risk/assess a situation for safety. teachers will be put in a position where they have to question a students word on whether or not they are transgender and permitted to go into the opposite sex bathroom. If they step up and not permit a student to go in the opposite sex’s bathroom out of concern this also presents a liability.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

A large contributing factor to this devastating pattern is the lack of support and acceptance from family and community. While little can be done about specific families’ acceptance of their transgender children, schools can easily make changes to create a safe and welcoming environment to support children and teens who might not have that at home. This proposed policy presents schools with guidelines and information on how to create a nurturing and stimulating educational environment for ALL students. It does not ask much of the schools, teachers, and students—only to treat trans and non-binary students with the same respect that they would a cisgender student. Small changes like these can drastically improve the outlook and quality of life of students, and allow them to explore who they are without fear of socially constructed repercussions. Additionally, it will create for the students the expectation that they will show respect for others, which will hopefully spread to the larger community. Big changes start with small steps and this policy is a great step forward.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, I don’t believe that those policies should be placed above the safety or comfort of students who are not transgender.  All students deserve access to education in an environment that feels socially, emotionally, and physically safe.  I feel like it is difficult for leaders at the state level to make policies that are going to benefit students in every community. I think all students should be given equal opportunities to learn and therefore, these policies might be better handled at the local level to accommodate students in the cultural context where they reside. I think the proposed policies are opening the door to many more problems, which is then not necessarily a fix for the current one. For example, often transgender students don’t want the attention drawn to them and rather than be given full access to any bathroom, really just would like access to a single stall. Why open a whole can of worms when an accommodation for a small population can be made, much like we do for students with special needs?  Again, this is an issue that needs to be addressed; however I don’t feel like sweeping policies are going to fix the problem. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We are creating an open door for assult and abuse...take it from someone who was sexually assulted in high school. Children are not informed enough to be making transgender decisions without the help and guidance from their parents...these new policies are a disgrace to our children and the parents who want to be able to fully support the mental and physical health of their children.

As a registered nurse, who has worked with infants for over 35 years, I can assure you that sex (gender) is NOT arbitrarily assigned to newborns at birth. That idea is ridiculous. And you are expecting parents to just accept this? Basic science and biology dictates that a baby is born male or female, unless he or she has a rare disorder called ambiguous genitalia. I realize that the 1-2% of children who are struggling with sexual confusion should be protected from harm and harassment. Virginia already has a strong anti-bullying law. This draft policy says its purpose is to ensure a positive, safe environment for all students. So how will girls feel safe and positive as they are forced to shower/change with boys who think they are girls? How will these girls feel? AND the girls' parents? NO WAY. Don't force this on the parents and families of Virginia!!!!!!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

But many like to experiment with using controversial language and try on different clothing and mannerisms.  This does not suggest anything is different about them. They are just being children.  Let them be different.  Let them be courageous.  It's OK to be a different kind of girl, or a different kind of boy.  But please don’t go along with them when they say things suggesting a different gender.   And PLEASE don’t suggest to them that their gender is something to select, like changing their hair color. Children also say they want to be a train or a dinosaur.  We know that these things pass and reality sets in without us having to do anything requiring legislation.  We don’t have to make bathrooms for Dinosaurs or refer to them by their Train names. Each child deserves to be allowed to say crazy things without being put in a box.  Sometimes a child will say they want to shoot someone or they wish someone was dead.  They are horrible words, but the child hardly understands the power of their words.  They should not be thought of as violent or evil.  They are experimenting to see how you will react almost like a child pushing a button to see what will happen. Let kids be kids.  But please don’t start catering to their childish ways.  Guide them to a good life where they embrace who they are, without labeling them into a life overly focused on childish whims.  To do otherwise, will bring unnecessary confusion and heartache to our vulnerable children. When they are adults, if the phase still has not passed, they are free to act on whatever ideas they have.  But please do not have schools interfere in and encourage them to make decisions they are not fit to make. And certainly do not propose anti-parent, anti-family policies based on agendas which lack scientific data and lack even common sense.  I oppose this policy.   It appears to be a model of how not to respect and care about children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am not against transgender individuals. When it affects my child’s  education that is when it becomes a problem. When someone is a believer and believes in only two genders how can you force a teacher or students to comply with something that they do not believe? You can say well just send your kid to a private school. Well, you know how hard that can be with finances and all. Also, what makes me upset is the policies state that the parents may not get informed about these certain policies occurring at the school. Parents should be notified of what is going on at all levels of their schooling especially if they are under age. Next, I don’t want my child or my future children suffering from not being able to play a sport because someone transgender took their spot on a sports team. Where are my kids rights. I don’t want my children to encounter talks before the age they really need to talk about if we as believers do not believe. That is why we live in America. We get to decide for ourselves what we believe not the government forcing this on us or not on our kids. Please re-think this because it doesn’t just affect transgender kids or families but the entire school system. Thank you for your time!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Instead of being concerned about privacy and safety of girls, this agenda is more concerned about the a boy’s comfort or discomfort. It is terrifying and alarming to consider that a boy, at any given time can claim he is a girl, and have access to a girl’s private facility. How can she be safe? I would have been afraid to go to the bathroom or change in a locker room, if I knew at any given time a boy could walk in, and I would have to WELCOME him—as though it is perfectly safe and appropriate for him to watch me undress, or use the bathroom! This is a terrifying policy, and simply ONE of the policies that are disturbing with this curriculum. Please consider the safety of our vulnerable children, and THEIR mental health with this lack of rules/parameters.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Sex education and transgender education does NOT belong in a school system. What would be beneficial is a good strong lesson in History of the country an d how this country was based on principles. Stop indoctrinating the children with special interest group agendas. They see enough of that on the internet. Sex education of any kind is a families responsibility.  The school system is far behind other countries in education and that is watch the focus should be.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am particularly impressed by the numerous opportunities in it to create a better learning environment for all students. When the ADA required curb cuts, those of us who thought they were just for wheelchairs discovered how useful they were for strollers, wheeled suitcases, grocery carts, etc. In the same way, greater respect for student privacy will benefit all students. Avoiding unnecessary separation into boys and girls will help ensure equal treatment for all genders. Professional development and training will prevent misguided efforts to police student identities and expressions to fit dated stereotypes. School boards that make the effort to thoroughly understand and use Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools should avoid a lot of headaches and bad publicity. Statistically, all but the very smallest school districts already have students who are transgender, so at some point the school board will be glad to have a well thought out policy. Many of the comments reveal that there is a lot of fear and misinformation circulating about people who are transgender. These comments demonstrate the critical importance of careful policy development that involves public engagement, It is tempting to avoid that engagement because it will be difficult, but it is better to have the discussion as part of policy development than as a traumatic incident involving a particular child. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

What the public school system in my home state is considering is both terrifying and sickening, to put it gently. When we no longer can recognize and celebrate the God-given biology of each man/woman or boy/girl then we have stepped outside of our created design and are giving higher credence to one’s emotional or mental state - on any particular day. By opening this door (literally and figuratively), you will be inviting an onslaught of abuses into your schools. Your education centers will become a breeding ground for all sorts of atrocities and more specifically those with growing appetites as sexual predators. There was little to entice me to send my daughter to a public school before this, but this consideration is only solidifying my decision to keep her far away from this disgusting “progressiveness” that is fundamentally destroying everything good within America. When teachers and public school officials start overriding the direction of one’s biological parents, then that should be a warning to all. Unless your school funding comes from those in power that prey on children and use them for their own pleasures and abuses, then your priority should be as educators and protectors OF our children. All precautions should be put in place and remain there to protect the young men and women that will become next generation’s leaders. The time to take a stand is NOW. For the love of all that is right, good, and pure. May you all find the courage to do just that.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

One way to make a vulnerable group feel safer is to enact policies to protect transgender children.  Every child I know who is transgender has had to fight to be heard and understood by their school leadership.  Passing a bill such as this would help those children feel supported by the adults around them.  Transgender teens have staggeringly high rates of death by suicide.  We can help curb this crisis by having every public school ready and able to support their transgender youth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

When did school become about being politically correct? Stick to teaching math, science, history, English and  PE. Why would you think the majority of the parents would be okay with allowing boys in girls restrooms and locker rooms and encouraging our children to not identify with who they truly are and if it’s thought their parents called their own children a boy or girl that we are at risk from having our children taken away?! You think that’s effective? Threatening American citizens to take away their kids and report them for child abuse? This is INSANE!!! Public schools are EVIL!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I can’t even begin to comprehend how immensely destructive and harmful these regulations would be towards young students. Allowing high-school age biological males to use the same bathroom facilities as women puts young girls in danger under the guise of “non-discrimination”. A school system that is willing to so blatantly disregard any differences between the sexes clearly does not care about the health and well-being of its students. The examples of “discrimination” listed in these policies directly target teachers who have traditional, scientific views of gender and prevent them from being able to hold to their convictions between and right and wrong and keep their job at the same time. It is inexcusable that these policies encourage a child’s desire to be called by a different pronoun to be deliberately kept secret from their parents, allowing families to be kept in the dark about what goes on in their own child’s life at school. How can purposefully creating a disconnect between a child and their parent ever be “healthy” for the child? These kinds of a policies have absolutely no place in the Virginia school system, and their incorporation will assuredly drive many to never send their children to public schools again.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

That will only cause problems to the ones to who know what they are. You take God out of school and you think parents neglect there child causing harm from telling them what they really are a girl or boy with such body parts. God only made 2 genders and that's what my children know. If you end up putting all kids together and let them walk into which ever locker rooms or bathrooms they want, there will be a chance that they will get raped. Its bad enough ya'll tolerate bullying, but this is too far. The only time something finally gets done is when something happens to the student(s). Our children are how we raise them, this is just education not yall telling them that there are more then 2 genders which its not. You either have a penis, classified as a male/boy or a vagina, classified as a female/girl. No amount of surgery will change who you were born as. If parents decide to pull children out of school because of this then you will end up like most Americans now and have no job. That wouldn't be fair would it? Why would it be fair to reset our childrens minds of their sexuality that they already identify themselves as. Its not safe for any students mind as this will cause psychological problems. I REJECT THIS IDEA.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Would female teachers or administrators want high school males in their bathrooms?  Or, more generally, do ANY teachers or administrators want ANY students overrunning their dedicated break rooms and staff-only spaces?  And what about teachers that abuse these rules?  We can’t expect some magical age-based distinction to prevent teachers from taking advantage of youths in these sexual matters.  These rhetorical questions are meant to reinforce that, generally, the level of distraction created by this policy will be enormous.  “Distraction” is being gracious; the severest problems will be physically dangerous and psychologically unnerving. I have friends and family that are public school teachers or administrators.  They care about instruction in basic academic topics.  The VA Department of Education is ideologically betraying not only our state but also their own rank and file employees.  Classroom management and SOLs weren’t enough of a work load?  Good luck teachers!  The VA Dept of Education is re-writing your job description:  “Mere Observer of Chaos and Logical Bankruptcy.”  Forget reading and math unless it’s all about linguistic gymnastics and calculating how many liters of blood are required for a transgender surgery.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Thirdly, wouldn't the ability for each parent to choose the school their transgender student would want to attend be a more optimal, feasible, and safer solution ? Would it not be more rational and cost effective to offer a school specifically for these children and those that aren't opposed to this than forcing this down the throats of those who are?

My job as a parent is to protect my children and lead them down the best path to become an adult.  Your role is to prepare them for adulthood to help them gain the intelligence to obtain a good job.  My role as a parent is to tech life lessons and prepare them for the real world. Teaching about being transgender is the responsibility of the parent not the schools that have trouble teaching a regular curriculum!  Our school system can’t prevent bullying, fights, and discrimination!  There is no way I will allow my children to be taught something I am responsible to teach.  And I will not allow my child to use the restroom with anyone with the opposite genders genitalia. I’m not against others life decisions but I do not trust anyone’s word in this world today. Some people who truly chooses to be transgender are one thing but it only takes one predator to claim it and then what. If the school system can’t control bullying, fighting, or discrimination then I won’t have them put any child in harms way. We don’t live in a fantasy land where everyone does what they should it’s just the sad truth.  And as a child they shouldn’t be intentionally put in a situation of that magnitude. I can teach my own child how life is and prepare them for anything that may arise that way when they can mentally handle the truth of how people are they can make their decision.  So in turn I will say if the schools decide to do something that can potentially put my child in the way of harm I will remove them from that situation myself. That’s my job as a parent! I will protect my children from any potential situation even if it’s the school that decides to put them into it.                            SIGNED PROTECTIVE PARENT\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Have there been any scientifically conducted studies in Virginia (or anywhere else for that matter) to support this claim? What is the proportion of formally proclaimed transgender students in relation to the normally gendered students attending school in Virginia? Have there been any studies or surveys documenting the emotional trauma on normally gendered students having to share bathroom facilities with transgendered students of the opposite biological sex? I suspect there are many more questions and genuine concerns than there are honest and sincere answers to this issue which affect the welfare of the vast majority of our students. Let us not forget the sound philosophy of John Stuart Mill in advocating for the role of good government to do the most good for the greatest number of citizens possible. As presented, the proposed changes in policy are about as close to a textbook definition of insanity as I can image. I strongly oppose them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Children are being brainwashed at a young age to thinking they have gender identity issues because they play with toys that don’t conform to their sex.  As a female I loved to play with my brother’s toys.   I hated to wear dresses.  Had I been born today, I would have been told to “explore” my identity and made to feel like something was wrong with me and I should identify as a boy.  And I also would have been shamed for expressing any opposition to so-called psychological experts in gender identity issues.  Kids are impressionable.  You tell them something over and over...they will believe it.  That’s child abuse.  No different from emotional abuse.  So yes I strongly oppose a law that will allow the school to take it upon themselves to talk to my kids about sex and sexual identity and brainwash them.  I also think it’s nonsense to punish another child for “bullying” because they didn’t call another kid by their preferred pronoun.  All you are doing is creating confusion for kids.   Sex is assigned at birth.  If some mentally screwed up kid thinks they are the opposite sex of their birth sex....you should be removing that kid from their home because they suffered some serious abuse there to think otherwise.  I oppose Virginia enacting laws that inflict emotional and psychological abuse on our children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We are a \"traditional\", God fearing Christian family. We do not hate people that think differently than us, but I am sick of having others opinions and desires always come before ours. If the school system decides to pass this ridiculous law, I will be praying for anyone that had a hand in it. If these transgender students can't figure out what bathroom they need to use then maybe they need to be educated. Not my sons, or the majority of students in the Virginia education system. It's simple, if you have a penis, then use the male bathroom and if you have a vagina, you use the female bathroom. If that is too difficult then the state needs to fund school systems to add a 3rd option for restrooms where transgender students can go. Label it with a question mark since they are the ones who are questioning what they are. That way, the majority of people can still have the right to feel comfortable when having to use the restroom. Stop trying to shove these liberal ideas down everyone's throat and just teach the academics. Some things are not the responsibility of the education system. It is absolutely the responsibility of the families. When you spend time on these ideas, you are taking away from the time you should be spending on the academics and how to improve on a flawed system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There has always been bathrooms and locker rooms for each sex (boy and girl) and kept separate for a reason. At no point do we feel it would be safe or responsible for the opposite sex to be using the restroom or changing together. we stand for what the Bible teaches us which is there are two genders. We are not saying we don’t love someone who may be struggling with identifying their sexuality but we do believe they need help pointing them to what the word says they are and who God made them to be. Not just pacify the situation and allow them to do whatever they want in the school setting. In doing this you can believe it will set our school system up for way more issues to arise in opening these doors. If this is to pass we will be pulling our children from the public school setting and home schooling.

The number of transgender students in these facilities and sports teams may become highly disbalanced. It opens the door for policy abusement and accusations in either direction.

Federal, state, and local governments all have an OBLIGATION to support the children within the education system, and Virginia is no exception. Parents who are opposed for religious reasons have alternative schooling options. Religion and school are kept separate for a reason. Locker rooms shouldn't be a concern as they are monitored by school staff. \"Predators\" can exist as any gender or sexuality, so keeping them out of the restroom they identify with really only affects them. Along the same lines, there is no evidence that has shown transgender people to be more likely to be predators, nor has there been evidence to show that there has been predators who pretend to be transgender for these reasons. I believe public institutions should treat everyone the same, especially when it's somewhere they're forced to be. And thinking anything less is the least patriotic, least free thought anyone could have about this issue.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

By allowing students to create a vision of their own gender identification, we are creating a school system that will lose any sense of sexual identity and sexual difference.

If they wanna do something like this have a offset bathroom for both genders but allow the usual two that are strictly for boy and girl!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

He was openly gay and killed by a (closet bisexual) openly homophobic older man  he was bullied in school and never felt part of any group.  Maybe,  just maybe if schools were tolerant he would still be alive.  Maybe if schools taught tolerance and equality the murderer would have not hated himself and killed Cole.  Every child deserves equal love, support, and education from all teachers. To some people equality threatens them,  to others it is life and death.   While the average life expectancy of a trans person is up for debate, we call all agree it is not that of a cisgender.  If school equal rights can change that, why wouldn’t we consider the change. Every small step counts.  We are all humans.  Please consider my nephew and other LGBTQ as humans not sexually charged freaks. Thank-you, Sarah Campbell\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I don't dislike or \"hate\" gay people, or any person if they choose to become transgender.  I, myself am a flawed person with plenty of my own shortcomings, but the desire to become transgender is clearly a sign of being deeply insecure and/or confused at their core being.  What I would be in favor of would be our state and federal agencies helping with counseling for those who are at risk of falling prey to such a destructive way of life.  Sadly, there are so many underage children who are deceived by their own parents and peers who steer them toward becoming transgender.  So sad and such a deception.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

That being said, this policy has some glaring issues: Page 11, para 2: “Regardless of the circumstances, the school should support the student’s need for privacy and not disclose a student’s gender identity to other students or parents.” Not informing the parents.  I could see this maybe for a HS kid, but what about the younger ones?  You really want to keep parents in the dark about stuff their child may be going through in elementary school. Page 12, para 2: “School divisions should accept a student’s assertion of their gender identity without requiring any particular substantiating evidence, including diagnosis, treatment, or legal documents.  A student is considered transgender if, at school, the student consistently asserts a gender identity different from the sex assigned at birth.  This should involve more than a casual declaration of gender identity, but it does not necessarily require any substantiating evidence nor any required minimum duration of expressed gender identity” Which is it?  The student needs to be consistent, or they do not need to provide any required minimum duration of expressed gender identity? Page 17, Para 2: “School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom” So no time in gender requirements (see page 12 para 2), and no questioning, I could see a few lawsuits heading your way VDOE. Page 13, para 1:  “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 to continue using the student’s legal name and sex assigned at birth, or develop an alternative that respects both the student and the parents.” This is not your lane VDOE.  This is a family concern. Page 16, para 2: “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.” Agree. Page 17, para 1:  “Students should be allowed to use the facility that corresponds to their consistently asserted gender identity.” Wait what?  Did you read page 16 paragraph 2, or page 12 paragraph 2?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

God has given parents the responsibility to raise their children.  For them to be denied the knowledge of issues in their child's life at school is to deny them a basic right.  Children are very vulnerable and for the majority of children in schools under such regulations there will be cause for much confusion, fear and anxiety every day that they go to school if they will have to be exposed to what you suggest in the restrooms and locker rooms.  Imposing these regulations on teachers and students will surely produce children who are mentally and socially unstable, and cause many good teachers to leave the profession.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

During a time of such growing, forming, and changing in our children's lives, they should not be allowed in the same locker rooms/bathroom with opposite anatomy. If any penises are allowed in girl's locker rooms and lusty eyes are allowed to watch our daughters in a state of undress, irresponsible! And having a daughter who was bullied, I know the lack of teeth the school has for dealing with any kind of bad behavior. Biological boys should not be allowed to compete with biological girls in sports. And any school that refuses to talk with parents about their child's mental health should be sued for every last penny. Schools are supposed to be helping us raise our children in a cooperative way. Parents should be notified if their child feels uncomfortable at school for ANY reason. I think this will be detrimental to both sis and trans kids. Yes, protect children who believe they are the wrong gender. But do not do it at the detriment of them, their parents, and all the other children. Reform these policies, or scrap them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The policy includes inaccurate statement of the law in the “Related Laws” section.  The Supreme Court has not yet interpreted the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution to include gender identity or sexual orientation as a protected class.  These protections do exist in some of the other laws quoted in the policy. The group developing the policy did not reflect the principle of diversity and inclusiveness it purports to champion.  In addition to the many professional educators, a number of LGBTQ advocacy group representatives were included.  However, the group clearly did not seek to include viewpoints, such as religious groups, that need to be considered in this conversation.  Only a policy that is developed after being informed by all viewpoints, whether or not those views are ultimately adopted, will ultimately be fully supported by students, parents, and school staff. The policy would allow a transgender person's expression of their gender identity at the expense of the other students' right to privacy.  Unless school districts will have coeducation locker rooms with individual changing stalls, and bathrooms similarly configured for privacy, a heterosexual young man or young woman will be compelled to undress in front of someone who, while they may identify with one gender, nonetheless maintains the physical characteristics of another gender.  This will cause embarrassment, and perhaps even trauma, on many, many students.  Any government policy to accommodate transgender students may not be at the expense of the privacy rights of other students. 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. “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) 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. “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) The policy unreasonably interferes with the rights of parents to raise their children with a worldview that is informed by religious beliefs.  This is not to say that public schools cannot teach about transgender.  However, parents need to be involved in any conversations about sexuality, particularly in elementary school age children and adolescents.  Under draft policy 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.  Parents who encourage their children to embrace their birth gender could be at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect by the school. “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) “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) Finally, 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.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Requiring school staff to facilitate a student’s feelings regarding gender expression without the knowledge of his/her parents, is an egregious power grab by the state and undermines the God-given authority of parents to insure their children’s welfare.  Children live with parents precisely because they lack maturity and experience. Allowing students to have access to the bathroom of choice exposes girls, in particular, to all kinds of sexual violations. It is the business of public schools to facilitate the development of intelligence and instruct students to become productive members of society.  The school should not be in the business of promoting highly controversial social policy. From a scientific viewpoint, children’s frontal lobes are highly undeveloped.  To allow or even encourage them to make irreversible hormonal and surgical decisions is incongruous, heightening their risks of heart attack, stroke, diabetes. Lastly, these regulations provide no exceptions for those who disagree with them.  I urge you to guard the wellbeing of our children by refusing to adopt the new proposed policies.

A co-ed locker room is only adding to their sexual confusion and will therefore create more mental health problems.

No one deserves to be bullied, and no one deserves to feel unsafe - especially when using the bathroom. I could tear this whole proposal apart point by point, but this is the only thing that really matters to me in the long run. I don’t agree with any of these proposed changes to school policy, except for the idea that we should be working to improve the safety of the school for the good of our children.

As someone who attended FCPS from secondary school onward, I think that this policy will be very beneficial to trans students, their families, and to their friends and allies. This guidance will allow trans students to feel safe, welcome, and protected in their school environment. Guidance creates an avenue through which understanding can be found for school faculty too, so they can make decisions that empower students. Discrimination and bullying are very real, and I am pleased that FCPS could have this in place for future students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I will posit this as a question of justice. Justice, per St. Thomas Aquinas, is found in pursuing the good of others. How, then, might these policies in support of transgender students bring about justice? Let us first consider the good of transgender students. It is surely to their good that they be treated with dignity and inherent self-worth, like all other students. It is to their good that their gender identity not be made a point of judgment or disapprobation. It is to their good that not be judged for the bodies into which they were born nor over which they have much control. It is to their good that it is made clear that society values them for who they are as opposed to who others might prefer that they be. It is to their good that they not be forced to repress their true selves to their own physical, emotional, and psychological detriment, even to the point of suicide as is the case for too many transgender members of our society. For non-transgender students, it is to their good that they learn to be accepting and tolerant of those that are different from them. It is to their good that they not grow up around societal structures that reinforce prejudices, particularly those rooted in identity. It is to their good that they examples of positive inclusion. It is to their good to see others thrive when they are given the chance to do so. For teachers, it is to their good that they not be asked to enforce unjust and irrational policies that injure a portion of the students in their care. So, I will say that it is, as much as it is anything else, in the interests of justice to pursue this policy. I am in support.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

First, all persons, including students, deserve to be respected and treated civilly.  Opposition to these proposed policies does not mean opposition to respect and civil treatment of human beings.  Schools should foster environments in which students, teachers, faculty, and staff are all respected and treated civilly. These proposed policies disregard basic recognition of science.  Persons are not \"assigned\" a sex at birth, as is written throughout this document.  Persons are innately male or female, and are coded as such in their very own, unique DNA.  No ideas or ideology can counter this basic fact.  Scientific studies have also demonstrated innate differences that can be observed between male and female behavior, which has led to much consideration and justification for increasing female participation in myriad aspects of society that have been historically lacking.  Such observations acknowledge a basic difference between males and females that cannot be disregarded, ignored, or pretend it does not exist.  While the anthropological understanding of \"gender\" typically corresponds with a spectrum of how males behave and how females behave, it does not eliminate the difference and distinction between males and females. The proposed policies lack application of common sense.  When I was in college in the last twenty years, I heard others say often enough that it was acceptable for a college freshman to have not yet declared a major even after the majority of others in the class had, since that person was \"young\" and did not yet know what that person wanted to do in life.  That comments suggested there was a state of maturity that had yet to develop for a decision that many consider to be life-long and life-changing.  By the same token, when a young child (be it 2 years old, 5 years old, or older) says to a parent \"I'm a dog\" or \"I'm a fire fighter\" or \"I'm royalty\", parents and adults know not to treat that child as actually being what that child declared, knowing the child is either playing or in need of instruction for why the child is not actually any one of those things.  When students in school assert to be a different sex (or non-sex) than that person actually is (scientifically, immutably), the school system should be respectful, but apply the basic recognition that the student is not yet fully matured (again, scientifically) and frankly is incapable of making that determination.  More likely is that there are other factors in that person's environment that have impacted the person in a way that would lead to such a declaration.  The student is not best served by the school's immediate, dogmatic acceptance of such a declaration and the resulting actions these proposed policies suggest must take place. The proposed policies present dramatic overreach of authority.  The policies do not allow for any employee to refuse to accept a student's declaration of being something other than their scientifically established being.  Almost assuredly, there are employees who have genuine concerns about the impact these policies might have on student development, and not because of ignorance or notions of male and female behavior that may be deemed as outdated.  The school system is abandoning their employees if these proposed policies were to be put in place.  In addition, the proposed policies replace the rightful authority of parents.  In fact, the proposed policies replace the rightful authority of parents and the school system by placing all power in the hands of students, who can dictate whatever one pleases with respect to their gender or sex without any challenge or question.  These proposed policies go beyond basic respect, they abdicate responsibility. These proposed policies also have no mechanism for preventing students from taking advantage of the proposed policies.  While there is a reference to \"consistent\" insistence on one's gender or sex, any one who has been in school, has taught in school, or knows of someone that has served in a school system will be able to tell you that there will be students who will take advantage of such policies.  For example, there could be males who will assert to be female to gain access to facilities or organizations that are restricted to females, potentially with malicious intent.  Females could be marginalized if males who identify as females decide to compete in female sporting teams. Public schooling was established in our democratic society to educate and ensure a robust republic for the people and by the people.  The underlying premise is that a person is not inherently knowledgeable or disciplined and is need of instruction and direction – of formation.  As written, these policies are not about basic civil behavior.  Instead, they assume the student to be irrefutably correct about human sexuality and condition, without need of instruction or formation from educators and parents.  If true on those topics, then presumably a student could assert to be irrefutably knowledgeable on any subject that is taught at the school.  If policies like the ones proposed here are put in place, the school system would be hard pressed to disagree based on objective (i.e., scientific) measurements like tests or fact-checking, since the students knows best.  If it is good for the goose, then it is good for the gander.  These proposed policies are contrary to the fundamental purpose of schools – to educate.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Goal: Preserve Innocence & Promote Mental Health\nBody:\nThis transgender policy focuses on appeasing and promoting a small percentage of children with gender dysphoria while simultaneously disregarding the rights of privacy and protection of the majority of children. Developing children deserve school environments that promote healthy and comfortable restroom/locker room privacy based on biological gender. If a male custodian identifies as a 4th grade female, will he then be permitted to utilize the girl's restroom? I hope we'd all be concerned about that, but according to your backing principles of the transgender policy, the answer would be yes because you're blurring the lines of appropriateness to promote mental illness. Please give consideration and protection to ALL students! For students with gender dysphoria, allow them the restroom/locker room option with children that have the same anatomy OR work to create a stand alone restroom/locker room for their peace of mind. Just like the \"family\" restrooms at many stores. This policy also creates a dangerous loophole that allows school faculty to bypass the primary leadership of the parent that has a child with gender dysphoria. This is unacceptable. Parents have complete authority to guide and direct their children on all social and moral matters without the interference of any conflicting guidance from school officials. School officials should only provide support or special care based on parental input and request. Please create a policy that doesn't seek to incorporate a few while disrespecting the majority. And please recognize that parental authority, when it comes to their child and gender dysphoria, is what is best for each individual and unique child.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They are the only ones that know who they are, and they should be treated accordingly. The suicide rate for trans kids is comparable to their cis peers, when the trans kids are supported by their school and community. It is not the trans kids that pose a danger in bathrooms; it's the bullies that pose a danger to trans kids. The more they are accepted and allowed to be themselves without everything being \"a big deal\" the less anyone will notice or care what bathroom they are using. Most students are already accepting of their LGBTQ+ peers, and so are most teachers. Let's make it the official policy, so that trans kids can be free to be themselves, and spend their time at school learning, not hiding.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The Committee does not include persons with direct professional clinical experience of gender dysphoria.  It includes political advocates.  Only one person is designated as a “Parent” representative.   There is no one from the Faith Community to address the critical spiritual needs of students.  Without the spiritual, a complete view of the reality of gender dysphoria is impossible.   The number of students who identify as transgender is growing because of social contagions, but the numbers are still relatively small. It is unlikely that school mental health representatives are experts in the area of gender dysphoria. The law mandates the development of the Model Policies to assure a safe learning environment of transgender students free from discrimination.  Schools should already be assuring this with every student.  Policies are in place to allow for Individual Educational Plans (IEPs) for any student.  Schools are required to respect and support these IEPs.  Until now, IEPs have been initiated by a competent adult (parent, professional specialist, school personnel, etc.) and are developed in agreement with the parent and team of professionals.  They often require professional referrals. They are not the result of a student request for special accommodations.  The Model Policies only require that the demands of the student should be persistent, not fleeting.  This capitulation shows a lack of understanding of adolescent and child behavior and puts teachers and other school personnel at risk to the tyranny of students seeking attention. Mental health practitioners always know the latest fad taught in Family Life Education/Health (FLE) classes or in popular books/movies/social media because of the rash of adolescents, usually girls, presenting with the problem being discussed in school.  These social contagions or “mob madness” are well documented and often the impetus for the VDOE adding topics to the FLE curricula.  Social media has exacerbated the problem of social contagion and the latest is Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria, occurring after extended periods of watching social media of dynamic self-described transgender social influencers.  With the lockdown of schools and increased social isolation, social contagions caused by social media are skyrocketing. I have witnessed the heartaches caused by other fads:  false accusations of molestations from “recovered memory”, “cutting”, Anorexia Nervosa and bulimia, suicide, etc.  Plastic surgery to achieve the preferred \"body image\" of celebrity are not new: nose jobs, breast enhancements/reductions, buttocks enhancements, piercings, etc. Few individuals, child or adult, are satisfied with their body image – size, shape, etc.  Most grow out of it and accept their body.  For some, the fixation is greater and leads to dysfunction.  Adolescence is a time of discomfort for most and all are looking for the reason for their unhappiness.  The reasons and solutions are complex and cannot be addressed with Model Policies and certainly cannot be self-diagnosed by children and adolescents, or school personnel whose only exposure to gender dysphoria is indoctrination during “staff development” by political activists promoting radical gender theory, not scientific data.  The Model Policies are dependent on the premise that radical gender theory is proven and legitimate.  No data is provided to support this radical theory and no “evidence-based best practices” are included.  Asserting that the Model Policies are evidence-based without providing evidence, does not make it so.  Individual treatment by objective, qualified, professionals is needed for each student.  Support groups run by objective, competent professionals may be part of the response, but peer groups run by political advocates are directive to the outcomes of the biases of the leadership. Peer group acceptance is critical for adolescents to have a sense of well-being.  FLE curriculum warns against the negative effects of peer pressure.  All peer groups exert pressure, usually benign or beneficial, but sometimes destructive.  High-risk adolescents are particularly at high risk for negative peer pressure.  Agenda driven advocacy groups prey on vulnerable high-risk adolescents imposing a preconceived viewpoint on each individual seeking membership.  Groups led by peers are generally well meaning, but do not have the maturity, knowledge, competence, life experience, etc. to provide reliable advice or guidance to their friends, particularly on matters as serious and complex as gender dysphoria.   As a result, they can be dangerous as they steer students down the wrong road, misinterpret reality and undermine the helpful guidance and support of competent adults.   Adolescence is also a time of separation from parents and conflict is therefore common.  It is a necessary stage for children to secure their own individuality.  It requires moderating involvement of parents to provide some balance to the volatile emotions and experiences of adolescence and give an anchor of reality. The Model Policies recommend that politically motivated groups be used as a resource for information and support, even in opposition to parents.  Competent professional counselors are always on guard for the pitfall of transference and countertransference.  Advocacy groups do not exercise the same cautions.  Tunnel vision is always a danger in counseling.  “If your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”  Adolescence is a complex stage of development and cannot be reduced to a single issue, but students who are legitimately in emotional/psychic pain can reasonably, if not rationally, conclude that the etiology of their pain is the ...

I appreciate the focus on protecting students' personal information as well as respecting their gender identity. One thing I found particularly compelling was the guidelines for fair and gender-neutral enforcement of the dress code: a provision that all female students have been waiting for since even I was in school. High school is difficult for all kids. Transgender kids have often had it worse, as both the system and their peers work against them. Bullies may not change, but the system certainly can by adopting these guidelines for teacher and administrative conduct. We should all support our children's right to be recognized and respected for who they are.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The role of government is to help marginalized populations, including transgender and non-binary students. Until laws are changed, any marginalized students will suffer. Just like in Ibram X. Kendi's book, How to be an Anti-Racist , meaningful societal change will only come when laws and regulations are created and enforced. I sat in a local school board meeting with public comment on a similar policy, and was heartened by the large numbers of people who came to support transgender students, and was saddened by the people who spoke out of ignorance and fear. All Virginians deserve to be comfortable in schools, with staff who provide a supportive environment. This guidance document will help those like the young woman who is the subject of Becoming Nicole by Amy Ellis Nutt. I challenge anyone who is opposed to this regulation to read and reflect on the experiences of Nicole and her family and how so much heartbreak could have been avoided by school systems that were set up to provide the kinds of support in this document. My experience with children in elementary school is that they want to be inclusive of everyone in the rainbow community. I hope that the changing policies and regulations can change the prevalence of death by suicide in the LGBTQ+ community.  Being treated with dignity and respect in school will provide hope and a glimpse of how thing should be everywhere in our Commonwealth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I couldn't find any connection with nature or reality.  Just one example is the requirement for teachers to use preferred pronouns, but if students can change their gender identity at any time without notice, how can anybody comply with this requirement?  Didn't anybody even consider this when they wrote the proposal? Another example is the requirement to allow boys who self-identify as girls to play on girls' athletic teams and use girls' locker rooms and bathrooms.  Is this for real?  What happened to social decency? You all need to scrap these silly ideas and go back to the drawing board and come up with something that reflects a reasonable and moral approach to treating transgender students compassionately and justly without disadvantaging straight students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Let them teach tolerance and kindness in the process but please do not saddle them with trying to implement the social change flavor of the moment. We adamantly oppose the VDOE \"knee jerk\" reaction to the desires of a vocal minority through the proposed Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools. The proposed policy would violate the rights of parents and prevent them from properly fulfilling their responsibilities.  Parents, not the VDOE, are responsible for the upbringing and welfare of their children.   The policies will place teachers in untenable positions imposing behavior upon them with which they must comply or face dismissal. Moreover, the policies would allow minor children to be the undisputed authority in the schools rather than teachers. The wishes of the students would become paramount and the teachers would be stripped of their adult authority and become servants of the students. A child’s sex is determined at conception; even young children know the difference between girls and boys.  A few children may develop sexual confusion, possibly due to molestation, peer pressure, media influences or genuine physical or emotional anomalies, and they should be treated appropriately with understanding, acceptance, and compassion.  However, most students do not.  Children should not be forced into situations where they will be uncomfortable (specifically regarding bathroom facilities) due to catering to a small minority which wants their perceived \"right\" paramount, to use any toilet facility they decide suits their identities of the day.  For centuries, our English language has male and female pronouns; “they” is plural.  For VDOE, any DOE for that matter, to try to force a change in language usage is inappropriate, unacceptable and beyond the pale. We urge the Virginia Department of Education to use good judgement and common sense and drop the proposed transgender policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Undecisiveness and confusion are predominant at those ages.  They do not know what they want and allowing them to be put in a box can be very harmful.  They need direction and guidance.  If I allow my children decide to eat whatever they want to eat, they would eat candy for breakfast/lunch and dinner which is neither healthy or good for their development.  Statistics have also revealed the devastating effect on many of our teens who have chosen to embrace or experiment with a new gender identity.  The suicide rate for these young people is shocking and heartbreaking.  It will be very harmful for society.  They can make a much more informed and wise decision when later on when their brain is fully developed.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Our LGBTQ+ community members, friends, and family, including transgender youth and adults, are integral to our communities and our well-being as a society. We gain everything in moving in the direction of honoring and respecting transgender youth in our schools, and welcoming them to be their whole selves by nurturing inclusive environments that value all our children and community. As others who have commented have said, these model policies will also help cis-gendered adults and children to learn more about gender identity and gender expression, and how to support and be in community with transgender peers. I am glad to see that these guidelines include evidence-based practices to maintain safe, supportive, and inclusionary learning environments for transgender youth, in compliance with nondiscrimination laws; that they are informed by research and policies from national organizations who advocate for the rights of transgender youth (e.g. Human Rights Campaign and GLSEN); and that they are aligned with guiding documents from counseling organizations, such as the American School Counselors Association’s Ethical Standards and Position Statement on Counseling Transgender Youth: https://www.schoolcounselor.org/Standards-Positions/Position-Statements/ASCA-Position-Statements/The-School-Counselor-and-LGBTQ-Youth and the American Counseling Association's Nondiscrimination Position Statement: https://www.counseling.org/about-us/social-justice/nondiscrimination . I look forward to these model policies' adoption and implementation to ensure that the Virginia Department of Education and all our Virginia school systems succeed in these goals: \"... be committed to working with school divisions to ensure a positive, safe, and nurturing learning environment for all students. It is important that as education leaders we affirm our commitment to advancing equity in Virginia’s public schools. Efforts to advance equity priorities include developing a culturally competent workforce of educators, closing opportunity and achievement gaps among marginalized student groups, increasing access to high quality early learning opportunities, and maximizing the potential of every Virginia student. The key guiding principle of the model policies is that all children have a right to learn, free from discrimination and harassment.\" Thank you for your work on behalf of transgender youth and Virginians. Sincerely, Virginia Pannabecker\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I profoundly disagree with the policy writers in how these outcomes are achieved. These policies seem to be relentlessly aimed at creating a culture that is subservient to the transgender student’s view of the world. Dress codes, everyday language, legal language, school records, school activities, and school facilities are modified to align with this view. The transgender student is to be vehemently protected from those (even parents) who would dissent from her/his/their opinion because her/his/their safety, health, and well-being is at stake. This is not the goal of education. Healthy educational institutions promote the robust discussion of differing points of view within the context of a respectful environment. Let me be clear. Respect is not the same as agreement. Respect makes room for disagreement while still being deeply committed to the dignity and well-being of the other person. To teach children that they can only be safe and healthy when others affirm their view of the world is to miss the point of education. These policies mandate affirmation of a student’s transgender identity by school staff. These policies demand this affirmation from staff members, even if there is no evidence for the affirmation other than the student’s assertion. If a school staff member refuses to affirm the student’s perceived gender identify, that staff member is considered discriminatory. These mandates negate two rights guaranteed by the constitution – free speech and the right to practice religious beliefs that adhere to traditional views of gender as binary. In effect, are we baring people who believe in the traditional, and long accepted, view of two genders from serving as educators in this state if they refuse to acquiesce to these new demands? Furthermore, if staff are considered discriminatory for dissenting from this use of language, how will students who abstain for religious conviction be treated? We are reorganizing school cultures and dividing family unity to conduct a social experiment exploring the new and inconclusive proposition that gender is an endless spectrum rather than a biological reality. Why are we trading what we have long held to be precious and worth protecting, things like family unity, respectful cultures full of differing viewpoints, free speech, freedom of religion, for what may in the long run be damaging to our families, institutions, and culture at large? Why are we not approaching these new ideas and cultural shifts with great caution and significant testing? In an effort to prevent bullying for transgender students, I am concerned that the law itself is becoming a bully toward those who genuinely believe in respect, protection for the vulnerable, and diversity but who are also deeply committed to the pillars of free speech, freedom of religion, and healthy family relationships. I urge law makers to revisit these policies and ensure that these precious societal pillars are upheld.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I think children should feel safe at school and be afforded the opportunity to learn without distraction. However, these policies are, unfortunately, swinging the pendulum from one extreme to another and they do not have the best interest of children at heart, especially prepubescent children. The majority of scientific studies and experts make clear that the majority of children outgrow gender confusion by the time they reach adolescence, and pushing involuntary promotion of gender confusion in a public school setting has significant potential consequences for children who are still developing. These policies are prioritizing the thoughts and feelings of one group while marginalizing those who have valid concerns about their female children being forced to share a restroom or locker room with a biological male with clear biological male traits and genitalia, and vice versa. I would hope that the leaders of our state could come up with a better solution that encompasses the concerns of all parties and prioritizes all children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Instead of getting the counseling they need to deal with this identity crisis, they are being enabled by guidelines like these. It is not normal for a child, who was born a specific sex, to believe that they are the opposite. This flies right in the face of Science, Biology. There are only 2 sex's, male and female.  We shod not be embracing this disorder, instead providing means to help the child to overcome it. How can we pass legislation/laws based on how someone feels? Who would have ever thought we would live in such a world. These children need help, and so do the parents condoning this kind of behavior. If a child wants to walk around on all fours and be a dog 24/7, they wouldn't allow that, so why is it any different here. This is exacerbating a already toxic problem in this society. This is coming from someone who was former LGBT.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

These policies are only a model for psychological & emotional abuse of children There is a pervasive and perverted plan by the LEFT and the well-funded LGBTQ lobby to manipulate and change our society (values, language, vocabulary, behavior, families, parental rights, religion, and science) via our tax-payer funded public education system. What is being implemented in these proposals is the product of: 1) the mentally-disturbed \"sexologist\" Alfred Kinsey - who believed infants and children are hyper-sexualized beings, and 2) Queer Theory - an ideology concocted in universities by academics such as Judith Butler and Gayle Rubin - that demands people believe that biological sex is fluid and even meaningless.  However, this is scientifically wrong and medically dangerous. The key concept of \"Queer Theory\" is the idea that heterosexuality is privileged and reinforced in society through institutional arrangements and accepted social norms.  Those perpetuating Queer Theory wish to eradicate these norms. Now the goal is to indoctrinate every student in America with highly potent, ideological, and hyper-sexualized rhetoric that emotionally and psychologically confuses children and completely alienates students and families, and especially those who rightfully object to homosexual lifestyles and transgenderism, and know that there are only 2 genders. All one needs to do is to look at the myriad demands and changes recently made to our pre-K through grade 12 curricula to understand that race-baiting, anti-Americanism, anti-Capitalism, pro-Socialism/Communism, re-writing history, sex, homosexuality, and gender fluidity are the topics du jour in our tax-payer-funded schools.  Instead of relaying and teaching factual concepts and actual academics, our children are now intentionally confused, indoctrinated with false rhetoric, and trained to be activists. Let's not forget:  we live in the United States and we are American citizens - period!  And the law of our land is the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Amendments.  Any law, regulation, or policy implemented by a federal, state, or local governing body that requires citizens (children and adults) to violate their freedom of conscience, religious beliefs, understanding of biology, the human sex binary, and/or freedom of speech must be vigorously opposed. It is also highly inappropriate and even dangerous for government employees to be given the right, much less the mandate, to violate parental rights by perpetuating (explicitly or deceitfully), celebrating, and/or concealing gender confusion and transgenderism in schoolchildren. Truth and First Amendment rights are paramount, not ideological fads and unconstitutional mandates enacted by a rouge President, state General Assembly, or Board of Education. Let's be clear:  homosexual and trans activists are not centrally concerned about ensuring \"equity\" and eradicating bullying.  Rather they are hell-bent on deconstructing society and pushing their agenda.  To achieve their goals, they must infect our schools, manipulate our children, and strip away true equity to glorify those embracing their ideals, and punish those who don't play along.  And they achieve this via big money and BULLYING tactics. Ultimately, it is the job of the schools to partner with parents and to protect the innocence of our children, not to manipulate, obstruct, or corrupt.  We tax-payers fund and own these schools. We pay the salaries of the school administrators, teachers, staff, school boards, VA Dept. of Education, and VA General Assembly.  So the BIG QUESTION is:  Why are these citizen-owned entities only marching to the edicts and bullying tactics of the loud, well-funded and well-oiled LGBTQ activists? Do the job you were hired and are paid to do, and let the parents do their job of parenting.

As a female high school student who has attended Virginia public schools since kindergarten, I am strongly against these new transgender policies. These policies endanger female students and violate students’ religious rights. The safety of all female students would be at risk if these policies were implemented. If these policies are adopted, “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). This is frightening for females of all ages, but especially females in high school; An eighteen-year-old biological male would be allowed to use the same restrooms and locker rooms as me, a fourteen-year-old female, all because of the gender he decided to identify as when he woke up. It is the responsibility of school systems to take precautionary measures to keep all students safe. These policies do the exact opposite and put young women in harm’s way. The policies proposed provide no accommodations for a student whose religious faith prevents them from being able to go along with the transgender ideologies and policies. As a Christian, whose worldview is based on the Bible, to acknowledge that there are more than two genders would simply be false. Under these policies, I could be punished for my religious beliefs and that is ridiculous.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Protecting, supporting & affirming trans youth through their school experience is (as many have stated) literally life-saving, trauma-informed, socially just & a moral imperative. LGBTQ+ youth, particularly transgender individuals experience way higher rates of suicide, bullying, violence, homelessness, substance misuse, mental health obstacles, and being victims of homicide. In a world that has a ways to go to fully support trans folks, this is an important step towards creating that crucial supportive environment. These young people may not get that same support in other spaces and realms of their life. Implementing this policy not only reduces these harmful + extremely negative outcomes, but fosters an environment in which ALL young people benefit and feel supported, accepted & included. These policies aim to reduce gendered stereotypes and standards that harm ALL YOUTH, and allow to teach through example how to be fully accepting of others who are different from you. This can greatly reduce bullying & violence in schools and among young people! Being inclusive of the most vulnerable folks in the classroom allows ALL students to feel more accepted for all the beautiful spectrum of identities that they hold. Nurturing this type of environment also facilitates a much higher capacity for learning in general. When students feel safe, comfortable, and accepted, the survival-mode, defensive part of their brain can relax, and they can actually learn better, excel in academics, sports, music, art, and socially etc. This reduces opportunities for harmful long-term effects of trauma to cause mental & physical health issues down the line. This is an incredible opportunity to set a vital example for students, educators, school administrators, legislators & political leaders, and families throughout Virginia and the country- to support, protect, & cherish the very vulnerable, but simultaneously beautiful & resilient young trans people our communities are lucky to have.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Transgender and gender non-conforming individuals suffer from some of the most extreme forms of discrimination in America today, evidenced by the hundreds of hateful and disgusting comments that have been submitted by ordinary citizens. Making sure that everyone has access to an educational environment in which they feel safe, secure, and comfortable is one of the fundamental responsibilities of a good civil government, and it is vital that this bill be passed in order to uphold those responsibilities. In the same way that we accommodate students with disabilities, or students who are impoverished, or students who simply learn differently from others, we must accommodate students who identify as transgender and give them the space to grow, learn, and exist comfortably and securely.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In the last four years, we have seen a 200% increase in youth who identify as transgender.  They are depressed, suicidal and usually at risk of being kicked out of their homes because their parents don't agree with who they know themselves to be. Coming out as transgender as a child or teen comes with a variety of struggles, particularly with parents and your community. For instance, studies show that familial rejection can lead transgender youth to engage in behaviors that put their health at risk, trigger depression and other mental health problems, and in the worst of cases – result in suicide. Furthermore, lack of family acceptance after coming out as transgender is one of the top reasons teens runaway or are kicked out of their homes by their parents. Among homeless youth, 20-40% are transgender, and most face discrimination when seeking even temporary shelter. However, familial and community support does the opposite. Parents, teachers and supportive adults who accept a child’s gender identity can act as a buffer against bullying and bias in other areas of life. In other words, for some transgender youth, support from their school can be the difference between life and death. Our public schools systems should be leading the journey toward acceptance and support of children who don't fit societal norms of what gender should be.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I personally have no problem with people identifying as transgender, even young children if they feel strongly about it early. I think these children should be protected and included and gendered language could be adjusted for certain curriculum where appropriate. However, allowing one type of student's rights to negate other students' and families' rights is not the solution. Kids and teens who identify as transgender can use whatever pronouns they prefer and ask for others to use them for themselves. Other kids who identify as cisgender should not be forced to use non gendered language or be forced to wear gender neutral clothes just as trans kids shouldn't be forced to wear gendered clothes. Families certainly should not have their kids taken away if they are having a hard time reconciling their beliefs with their child's chosen identity. This is essentially giving rights to one group while stripping rights from another. If we are stressing inclusion and individual rights, why would schools (or anyone) insist some conform to another group's preferences at all? Why can't we have trans and LGBTQ+ inclusion, not exclusion of others? In addition, covertly planning this agenda for public schools violates parents' rights to decide about their children's education. If government run schools are going to insist on making our schools into communist or socialist regimes where no one has any choice about their education or how they are treated, then parents need to have to right to have their tax dollars directed towards school choice instead of being forced to pay for this kind of \"education.\"\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Data within the proposed amendment shows a clear need for protections for LGBTQ+ students for their well-being and happiness, and by definition the first priority of the VDOE is: Priority 1: Provide high-quality, effective learning environments for all students (Reference: https://www.doe.virginia.gov/boe/plan/comprehensive-plan.pdf ) Discrimination against individuals based upon basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or disability is already outlawed at the federal level, and so integration of such expectations at a young age not only improves the educational outcome of LGBTQ+ youths, but also better prepares others for the expectations already set for for life after school.  Therefore, I am in full support of this amendment. -Dr. Watson\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My own children went to school alongside transgender youth and bore witness to discrimination as the schools tried to figure out how to handle these students. This policy is necessary not just for trans and non-binary kids, but for all students. Sincerely, Annie Parker\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is not the responsibility of myself or any other school staff to encourage or promote the sexual preference of any student. It is my duty to ensure that all students, regardless of their sexual orientation, receive a high quality education and are able to do so in a safe environment. And that’s where the responsibility should stay. I do not want other adults influencing or encouraging my own personal children to explore alternate lifestyles. Also, allowing mixed gender restrooms and locker rooms is just inviting sexual encounters or assaults. To me, that is not keeping children safe. Should these policies go into effect, I foresee a mass exodus of Christian educators from Virginia. I also am sure that many families (including ours) will either send their children to private school or pursue homeschooling. What a great disservice to the school staff and children of Virginia. I do believe many in our state have become so “open minded” their brains have officially fallen out of their heads.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

A school employee’s intentional and persistent refusal to respect a student’s asserted name and pronoun is considered discriminatory.” (Recommended Standard, p.12) “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) 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! “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) 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. “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) 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. “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) Students will be allowed 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 evidence to a teacher or administrator, making it impossible for teachers to comply with these policies. “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) “Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence.” (Draft Policy, p.13) 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. “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) 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. “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) The requirements for schools to maintain gender-neutral dress code standards will cause disruptions and distractions, permitting boys to wear skirts and girls to go topless in activities where boys can – such as swimming activities or teams. “Students have a right to dress in a manner consistent with their gender identity or gender expression. Schools shall administer and enforce dress and grooming codes consistently across the student body, regardless of actual or perceived gender identity or gender expression. Requirements for attire for school-related programs, activities, and events shall be gender-neutral.” (Draft Policy, p.16) 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.” “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 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 p...

To this end, students struggling with transgender identities are encouraged to act independently of their legal parents/guardians and embrace these alternative views.  Then under the guise of “safety and inclusion”, teachers, counselors, and students will be “educated” to embrace these decisions. Parents who do not accept their child’s alternate identity will be labeled “non-affirming”. Finally, schools will be expected to promote these views through the support of clubs and programs, as well as the open display of Pride flags, etc. It is one thing to be accepting of transgender students. And certainly, they should be protected from bullying, coercion and the like. It is another to ignore the fundamental biological nature that differentiates the sexes. No allowance is made for the safety and mental health of strait students who feel uncomfortable sharing a locker room with the opposite sex. Soon, it will be the rest of the student body who will experience depression and anxiety by being subjected to this oppressive “reeducation” program. The Transgender policies the Department is implementing will cause irreparable damage to Virginia students. Elementary and secondary school students simply do not know enough about gender to make definitive decisions about their identities. Many gender dysphoria issues stem from a conflict between perceived and assigned genders. In these cases it is not always clear if a child wants to be a different gender. Rather, the child may be seeking counseling to help identify with his/her birth gender. These policies make no provision for allowing a counselor to explore this option. At the heart of the matter is the confusion generated when individuals and society do not recognize the biological reality of gender. Case in point is the conflict between a child and parent discussed on page 13. A teacher is placed in a horrible position during a parent-teacher conference trying to remember what pronouns and names the Department deems ‘appropriate’. The policies further state that it is in the child’s best interest for parents to accept the child’s transgender identity, as opposed to allowing parents to decide what is in the best interest of their children and having teachers support the parents. The policy even goes so far as to suggest that ‘non-affirming’ parents are actually harming their children, and that teachers have a responsibility to report these parents for child abuse. Page 18, school health care officials will be given “continuing education” to teach them to support the LGBTQ+ agenda. Clearly they will be expected to teach students these views. Furthermore these officials will be given “competency training” to insure compliance. A key point is that these counselors can teach students without the consent or knowledge of the parents. Page 19, School boards will be expected to “engage” the community regarding these policies. It is acknowledged that these meetings will involve “deeply conflicting community views”. But the Department is willing to stir up this level of strife rather than accept parents’ views that gender is birth-specific. Any community organization operating outreach programs must support these policies. No mention is made regarding the penalty for non-conformance. One can only assume that such programs will be terminated and those groups banned. Page 20, divisions are to “consider ensuring LGBTQ-inclusive curricula”. They are also expected to support the formation of clubs and programs affirming these views. Students are even encouraged to be trained to accept and promote a transgender world-view.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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. 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. The requirements for schools to maintain gender-neutral dress code standards will cause disruptions and distractions, permitting boys to wear skirts and girls to go topless in activities where boys can. 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. We live in the United States and we are American citizens - period!  And the law of our land is the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Amendments.  Any law, regulation, or policy implemented by a federal, state, or local governing body that requires citizens to violate their freedom of conscience, religious beliefs, understanding of biology, and freedom of speech must be vigorously opposed. It is also highly inappropriate and even dangerous for government employees to be given the right, much less the mandate, to violate parental rights by perpetuating, celebrating, or concealing gender confusion and transgenderism in school children. Ultimately, it is the job of the schools to partner with parents and to protect the innocence of our children, not to manipulate, obstruct, or corrupt.  We tax-payers fund and own these schools. We pay the salaries of the school administrators, teachers, staff, school boards, VA Dept. of Education, and VA General Assembly.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The Supreme Court has held that people cannot be forced to \"affirm\" principles contrary to their faith.  This proposal forces students to affirm transgenderism, and interferes with the rights of parents to educate their children with the parents' religious beliefs.  This is wrong - you may be able to force girls to accept boys watching them undress in a locker room, but you cannot force those students or their parents to express approval (or refrain from expressing disapproval).  You are just inviting division, hard feeling, suppressed feelings and emotions of students who are victims of the oppression, and ultimately litigation. The rights of Christians and their beliefs must be respected, and this policy requires students and parents to ignore their beliefs in clear violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.   And, if you think you can avoid a response by the parents by trying to keep it a secret from them, do you seriously believe that the parents will not find out what is happening from their children.  If I were the parent of a child exposed to the abuse called for in these \"guidelines,\" I would call the police and Child Protective Services and report the abuse.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, while these \"model policies\" provide a platform and process for a very specific population of student to be protected it also provides a platform and process for other populations of students to be attacked for their convictions/beliefs and not be protected. The policies related to discipline of other students (and teachers) for not referring to the transgender student by their preferred pronoun and those related to the use of restrooms/locker rooms based on the student's chosen identity are potentially harmful to the \"cisgender\" student who, based on their own faith/religious beliefs or other deeply held conviction, feel unsafe in those situations. The creation of a policy related to how we refer to each other by name/pronoun is an overreach. We find ourselves in a world where \"being offended\" is an ever-expansive black hole and one in which grace, understanding, and respectful conversations are long-forgotten and deemed inappropriate. As the father of a teenage daughter, I am very concerned about the restroom/locker room policies. Again, while it may seem to be protecting one group - it seems to have the opposite affect on another group (cisgender female students). While I don't consider myself an alarmist or extremist and feel confidently that the large majority of students wouldn't take advantage of this policy to create opportunities for sexual assault, voyeurism, etc., to think that this won't ever occur is naive and short-sighted...and again, this line of thinking is not putting the best interests of ALL students as the top priority. I don't envy the position of our school boards, our teachers, our state/federal authorities, but I truly don't envy the position our children find themselves in - and I feel for my fellow parents as we try to find the correct ways to navigate this and other challenging situations. That being said, as a Christian first and foremost, I know what I am called to as a parent and as a citizen of this world. It would be a travesty for these policies to move forward as presented for many reasons, including those listed above, but also simply from the perspective of the persecution that will follow for those who's religious beliefs are opposed to much in these policies. I ask and pray that you will consider how to protect all children, not just one group.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am also STRONGLY against the idea of boys and girls and adults that \"identify\" as the other gender being aloud to use restrooms and locker rooms of the other gender. This is just opening the door to people taking the advantage of being able to use the opposite genders bathroom and allowing room for sexual abuse to happen. School should be a SAFE place for LEARNING. Not a place where parents feel uncomfortable sending their children. Education is a vital part and right of our children and it is being ripped away from them due to these unsafe measures.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

A teacher or staff member has no place in discussing a student's gender identity or getting involved simply because they are in no authority position, they don't provide and take care of that student, and won't have any connection to that student beyond their class. Next, if a parent encourages a child to go by their God-given sex, how that constitutes child abuse is beyond me. How a parent decides to raise their child is their own business as long as that child is not being harmed or neglected. By saying that encouraging a child to go by their God-given sex is child abuse, diminishes the severity of actual child abuse. It also takes time away from Social Workers that could be helping other kids with more severe problems besides their parent encouraging them to go by their birth gender. I don't care if someone changes their gender but what I do care about is when that potentially puts other people at risk. If we allowed biological males to go into a women's restroom that puts women at such a higher advantage for sexual assault. While some may be going to the female bathroom because they believe they are a female, what about the males who are pretending simply so they can go the bathroom to see a female exposed or to assault them? Why should we put women, or men, at risk because someone wants to say they are the opposite gender and use another bathroom? Why don't we keep everyone safe and offer a gender neutral bathroom? At my old high school, student's who felt uncomfortable using the bathroom associated with their gender can go to the nurse or library bathroom. That shouldn't make those students uncomfortable and it's not excluding them either, it's protecting all student's of every gender and sexual orientation by protecting against terrible things that are very real possibilities. It also would put transgender people at risk because if they use the opposite bathroom they could be harassed or attacked. If there was a bathroom available to anyone then everyone can stay safe. If a student gets in trouble at school for something that's as important as people are saying it is, why would the parent not be notified? My mother was notified when I was using the bathroom too many times because I had an undiagnosed medical condition. Why is bathroom usage more important to be notified about but the interrogation of someone's child is not? Those standards and priorities are so screwed up and backwards that it makes absolutely no sense. I DO NOT encourage bullying or hate from anyone for any reason. Being kind to everyone is just a basic human thing that everyone should want to do, but if for some reason someone is not, a parent needs to be notified. They need to be notified to not only help solve the problem, but also because the school shouldn't be allowed to have conversations and take actions against a minor without parental knowledge. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs and to try and force others to conform is so wrong in every way. The policy says that no matter your religion, faith, or understanding of biology (which is so humorous to me because it saying that if you understand basic biology and anatomy which has been taught to students since the fourth grade then if you don't understand then you are confused about what gender is) you can't disagree. This is forcing people to follow and believe things that they shouldn't have to. Would this still be so supported if the roles were reversed? Would it still be a good thing if transgender people were told you have to agree with what gender we tell you you are and if you disagree then watch out you'll lose your job or be kicked out school? If someone wants to say they are another gender, fine whatever, but I don't have to be forced to do or believe anything. I will be kind to everyone because that is how I want to be treated, but you better believe I won't be forced to believe anything. Some of the policies being suggested are tolerable and as long as it doesn't affect what I believe and do then I don't mind it. There are some policies that force me to do and believe things, put people at risk for harassment or attacks, and allows schools to have power over a student and what a parent can teach their child. Those things are unacceptable and I will not tolerate it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

With all the issues facing Virginia schools today, including poor academic performance, these proposed policies seem out of sync with the parents and taxpayers of the state. Focus on academics is far more essential. Second, VDOE serves at the behest of parents, not to undermine them and cut them out of their legal rights and responsibilities to rear their children. These proposals promote taking action without the knowledge and permission of parents when implementing, counseling and disciplining students (e.g., Draft Policy, Page 12). Third, teachers and students should have accommodation or the ability to opt out when religious faith, conscience, or understanding of biology and sociology prevents them from being able to go along with the “transgender” ideology and policies. Fourth, it is not the role of school administrators, counselors or teachers to encourage a student to explore, facilitate and make decisions regarding their gender expression of sexual identity. This issue is the responsibility of the parents alone (e.g., Recommended Standard, Page 12). Fifth, these policies violate the privacy and safety of all students, as biological males and females would be empowered to use restrooms and changing facilities at their discretion, without question and with no prior notification of students and parents (e.g., Draft Policy, Pages 12 & 18). Sixth, VDOE does not control the laws of free speech and parental responsibility. In no way should VDOE be able to implement rules, procedures and actions without the involvement of parents. These proposed policies cannot supersede the laws of Virginia and the United States. Please reject these proposed policies. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I strongly oppose this measure. This is an enormous distraction from the core function and mission of our Board of Education. Virginia BOE's mission is: \"The mission of the Board of Education and Superintendent of Public Instruction, in cooperation with their partners, is to develop policies and provide leadership that improve student achievement and prepare students to succeed in postsecondary education and the workplace, and to become engaged and enlightened citizens.\" Virginia already has, and has the ability to bolster, policies to protect children from bullying.  Matters dealing specifically with sexuality should be reserved for the privacy of one's home. At school, our children should be squarely focused on preparing themselves for further education and the workforce.  Matters of sexuality, religion, faith, family-lifestyle, and the like should be reserved for individual families to address. Thank you for your time and service.

How can you expect people taccept the forcing of someone else's choice to be different, and embrace it whole heartedly and then threaten to use child services on the family that does not conceed with your satanic agenda. This is not about a child and a choice, it's about forcing a idealogy on people that do not want anything to do with it.  But yet if you disagree you are a criminal and elgible for child removal.

While transgender students need to be treated fairly, it is not right to unfairly treat all other children.  Just because a boy that thinks he is a girl wants to use the girls bathroom and locker room does not make it right for my daughter to be exposed to the opposite sex biology at any age.  Nor should my son be exposed to female biology.  These are impressionable children at any age and exposing non-trans children to the other sexes biology because a boy want to use the girl's bathroom or locker room or a girl wants to use the boys bathroom or locker room is no excuse to do this.  We need to protect all children not just trans gender children.  This type of exposure is reckless, damaging and dangerous for non trans kids.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans students are entitled to their identity, livelihood, and happiness. Any act of discrimination, ostracism, or bullying should be swiftly acknowledged and handled in the best interest of the student’s health and well being. Comprehensive sex ed needs to be taught. If your school isn’t safe for Black trans students, your school is not a loving learning environment. The golden rule doesn’t only apply to Caucasian cishet people. God is watching you act like fools defending your idea that trans kids don’t deserve a safe learning environment...we’re talking about human rights here. Your trans/queerphobic opinion is irrelevant. How many more children/people have to commit suicide or be murdered for you to value all human life? Protect trans youth at all costs!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is a real shame that the state of VA would allow women’s rights to be demolished by these transgender policies. All the women that worked hard to reach freedoms and goals for their own gender will be completely removed. Now men/boys can freely join in on what women so strongly fought for to create and pursue AS WOMEN. As a Virginia voter, if these policies are passed, be rest assured I will make sure those who are running the Virginia state government will be voted out and I will do everything in my power to make sure this happens.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

To suggest that gender is fluid is ludicrous and does not support science. There are meaningful, biological differences between males and females, which cannot be redefined just because someone doesn’t identify as such. And it is certainly not the role of the school or faculty to teach, advise, or force children to believe their man made definition of gender. It is the role of parents and families, not schools or the state to provide a child’s moral compass. Furthermore, these policies puts educators and students in compromised situation to support philosophies and ideologies they oppose. I am particularly concerned that parents would not be notified if their child is being interrogated by school officials for allegedly “violating” these policies, or have the opportunity to intervene on their child’s behalf.  This is particularly problematic when a child can change their identified gender at any time. How could classmates or educators be expected to keep track of the current gender status of each classmate. I am particularly concerned with the impact this could have in girls bathrooms and locker rooms. These policies put girls in danger as well as disrupt needed privacy. I do not support those policies, but instead suggest adding additional unisex bathrooms to address that issue. These policies would also be devastating to  girls sports. Girls will be negatively impacted if boys are allowed to participate on girls teams and could steal opportunities that female athletes have worked hard fir years to achieve. There are countless other ways that these proposed policies destroy school cultures and the well being of 99 percent of the population to mollify the loud voices of the one. There are better ways to address transgender issues. Please vote against these measures—Protect ALL children!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are several egregious problems with this proposal: This is a grave violation of students' rights, including their Constitutional right to privacy and free speech. This proposal goes to extraordinary lengths to protect the emotions of students claiming to be transgender who wish to use bathrooms of their choice. But it fails to make any attempts to protect the emotional well-being or SAFETY of students who are not comfortable with someone who looks and seems to really be a male but wants to use the girls' bathroom or showers. What about those male students who will simply use this policy to gain access to girls' showers. And you are going to punish parents for objecting to this? Shame on you. It also punishes students for not going along with the speech code that this proposal forces on them, punishing them for expressing their own opinions and making their own conclusions about these issues. That is not education; it is indoctrination. Parents have an unalienable right to determine how to educate their children, including instructing them on human sexuality. It is a grave injustice on the part of the government or schools to threaten to punish parents for disagreeing with the schools' indoctrination. Threatening to remove a child from a parent's home for disagreeing with this transgender ideology is in itself an act worthy of impeachment. It is a scientific fact that every human being is either male or female. In fact, every cell of the human body has the chromosome code stamped on it as either male or female. The transgender ideology is really a denial of reality. And you are trying to force everyone to go along with this lie. This is an example of absolute tyranny. You are trying to force everyone--students and parents--to comply with this indoctrination program, even though it is a scientific fact that this ideology is false. This proposal ignores the beliefs of the vast majority of parents and students, who do not wish to be indoctrinated in this agenda. This proposal will make Virginia's schools a very stressful place for the vast majority or students. Taxpayers pay for public schools. We would like the children where we live to be provided a solid education. It is a waste of taxpayer dollars to use schools as a training ground for a political ideology--especially one, like this, which is not shared by the majority of people. But even if it were shared by a majority, it is still not the role of schools to indoctrinate children. Focus on math, reading, writing, science, and other real subjects that students need to know. For these reasons and more, please reject the proposals put forth in this shameful, unjust document, which in the final analysis would subject our students to harassment and violate their Constitutional rights to privacy and free speech, as well as the rights of parents. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I do find it wildly disappointing that they all seem to show an incredible pattern of ignorance and a gross misunderstanding of what they are speaking out against. To see so many people put their “beliefs” and opinions before the lives and safety of children just to continue to live in their little bubble is truly infuriating. To not adopt these new rules and standards is to openly admit that you are content with the continued abuse, violence, ostracizing and overall torment that students who are transgender or gender nonconforming face everyday.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The majorities still have rights! Trans kids need to learn to navigate their lives just as a person with disability or any other differences would have to. This is opening the door for more sexual harassment, rapes, fights etc. Do not allow this! Do not make the MAJORITY of kids feel uncomfortable to accommodate a few. Stop making gender a thing that can just be changed on a whim, stop shaming those who do not believe in this. There is no neutrality when it comes to gender,  I am a WOMAN, I can have a baby, I have a menstrual cycle and I have God given breasts,  all of the things a boy doesn't have and I will not allow my daughters to be made uncomfortable because some boy may lie to sneak a peak.

I have trans and non-binary friends, family, and loved ones, and I want them to feel safe and supported. Our local school system has recently adopted strong guidelines to support trans and non-binary youth, and I hope to see all VA students supported in this way.

They have all of the stress and anxiety of cis kids and teens with a major medical condition that affects both their physical and mental well-being on top of it. If they are luckily they have the support of their families, if not then they are managing a complex issue while also having to hide a core piece of their identity. School should be a safe place for all students to experiment and find the path that is right for them. Trans kids need that more than anyone to become happy and healthy adults.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

God made man and then woman.  I realize with Transgender the person does not identify with their assigned sex however that doesn't make it a reality.  A man's chromosomes cannot be engineered into female chromosomes.  Research shows that only .7 percent of teens 13-17 identify with transgender.  For most people sex and gender align therefore I ask you how is it fair that school systems impose these guidelines on the majority?   I am very open with my boys and we have discussed this litigation; neither of them would feel comfortable with the opposite sex in the restrooms or locker rooms with them.  My oldest son said it would be a distraction for a girl to have her shirt off while playing sports.  I have always tried to instill kindness into both of my boys.  I teach them to be kind no matter what someone looks like, how they act, or even if they treat them wrong (we never know what someone's life is like at home or what they are dealing with).  Parents know their children better than anyone else.  It is a parents job to help their children to figure out who they are and who they want to be.  If a child is struggling with gender then its the parents job to help them by loving them through it.  It is NOT the school's job \"to help a child to explore, facilitate, and make decisions regarding their gender\" especially without the parent's knowledge.  I believe that all children need to be taught and treated with kindness by teachers and their peers.  I do not believe that this litigation will help empower transgender; I believe it will create a bigger divide.  This also violates the 1st Amendment - freedom of religion and freedom of speech.  Please do not pass this litigation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

We have considered Arlington’s ability to nurture our youth by providing a public education grades K-12 at no cost, and in pursuit of academic levels robust in comparison with the top levels that this nation has to offer anywhere, to be an occasion for pride. We regret to say that this pride has been overshadowed with dismay over what we perceive to be an aggressive social engineering agenda being imposed now by the proposed expansion and implementation of “model” policies for the treatment of transgender students in the public schools. It is apparent that there is an agenda behind these policies that is being driven not by legitimate academic goals, nor by any imperative to respond to any commonly expressed interests of county residents, but only by the wishes of a small minority of insiders and innovators who would impose policies on an entire community’s school system without having to validate them against the common values of the community. The agenda that these policies represent would, in our opinion, tend to be disruptive if implemented, and would be a disservice to students and non-students alike. While public education outside the home is a value and right, there still is an essential role for parents and families in the development of their children that should not be cavalierly undermined, as these policies appear to do. Minor students are under the tutelage of their homes of origin until legally and financially liberated. Schools should not be elevated to a substitute for parents’ roles; nor should the school system be used as an experimental laboratory for the unharnessing of youth who have experienced gender dysphoria from the norms represented by their families of origin, to see what will happen next. These policies, as we see it, presuppose that there will be adversarial relationships at times between parents and teachers.  Naturally, there will be.  This has always been the case. Then, in the case of the self-identified cases of transgender students, the policies would give the upper hand to school administration in determining the treatment in all the potentially disruptive settings that may occur, such as dressing, naming, and accommodating in bathrooms and other school facilities. This is madness. Youth who are in the throes of a gender dysphoria -- whatever the circumstances, whether by choice, by nature, or by outside intervention; whether mild, convinced, or questioning; whether home-supported or home-conflicted – should of course remain eligible for a quality Virginia public education, which can only be accomplished in an atmosphere of healthy respect, compassion for any anxiety or depression, and opportunity for reference to health care professionals for any acute needs. Wouldn’t this be the norm under existing Virginia public school policies, with any potentially disruptive health condition or behavior?  Without singling out Transgender as a recognized category deserving of special protection, current policies in Virginia can surely accommodate troubled students on a case-by-case basis. The overlaying of these policies is unnecessary and unwelcome, as is the introduction of special educational curricula and training materials for teachers and administrators. We would urge that you suspend imposition of these ill-advised and very disruptive policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, in  a free society the rights of any one  group cannot wipe out entirely the freedoms of other groups who must have the ability to dissent in the public forum . I believe that since the public schools are supported by all the people of Virginia , there has to be guidelines in place that support some distinctions of the sexes. In light of the Me Too movement , anti -bullying laws and lawsuits that defend the right to be free of sexual harassment and intimidation , we would be wise to not ignore some distinctions. To do so is to be completely insensitive to the very real and important guidelines that can help protect young people whether at school or a job or when they enter the adult world. Respectfully, I ask you to vote down the bills that eradicate all sexual distinctions between male and female. Please allow the freedom to have privacy in locker rooms and bathrooms for all citizens in Virginia. Thank you for your consideration.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This should not be a conversation held within schools without consent of a parent.  Sure, allow kids to use whatever pronoun they use. BUT sex is biological and not a feeling. Children are also not able to legally consent to anything (marriage, voting, smoking, etc) prior to being 18 so why should  we allow our children to make a life altering decision such as this prior to adulthood????????  The path our schools are going down at this moment is shameful.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

That goes without saying. However, this policy goes way beyond protecting children and instead actively promotes gender confusion, something that is deeply harmful to a child's psyche and potentially physical body. Young children are not mentally, emotionally, or physically mature enough to proclaim they're \"trapped in the wrong body\" and so if a child makes that claim, the right response should be to go to the parents right away and let them address it. Public schools should have no authority to encourage and promote gender confusion to developing children. By doing so, they'll be making it 'cool' and creating an avenue for children who don't fit in to find some sort of community or way to fit in that will potentially carry negative repercussions for them the rest of their lives. Stop the child abuse and political BS. Focus on reading, writing, and arithmetic, and leave the social experiments at home!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We know that supporting student physical, emotional, and social well-being contributes to positive educational and social outcomes.  To do anything else encourages the opposite -- impeding trans students' ability to focus on academic and extra-curricular participation, causing confusion and uncertainty for all students, and allowing/condoning mistreatment by classmates and teachers.  These policies are in line with physical and psychiatric science/medicine best practice approaches to supporting people experiencing gender dysphoria that include reinforcing self-identification, and exploration of and integration of individualized identity in a safe environment. These policies in no way negate school behavior expectations and rules.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Transgender students should be able to feel comfortable in school because it is the place they go to almost every day. We shouldn't exclude them. They just want to be normal kids. To avoid the religion problem and pronouns, maybe instead of addressing students by their preferred pronouns, you can just address them by their preferred name. Anyone, no matter transgender or cisgender could change their name. To avoid the problem of other people being uncomfortable in locker rooms, you could let the transgender student use a private changing room. This would seem like a fair compromise. The science argument also isn't the best argument because there is a science to back up why transgender kids are the way they are. With a couple of compromises, I think this would be a great idea.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

From working with transgender youth, it is clear how school can be a place where they're supported by staff and policies, or where they're bullied by those same staff (and students). Policies are a critical structure to both protect students and empowering staff to be supportive of transgender students. 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, Alexandra Rooke\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However you choose to identify when you are an adult is entirely up to you, but you are born a male or female with appropriate parts to that fact.  The bible says:  ...male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:27)  He created them male and female...(Genesis5:2)  [Jesus said,]\"But from the beginning of the creation, God 'made them male and female,'\" (Mark 10:6)  [Jesus said,] \"Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female.'\" (Matthew 19:4)  No matter what you \"choose\" to identify with, you are anatomically either male or female.  No male should be allowed to use a female bathroom/locker room or changing room (that opens up all kinds of sexual misconduct/harrassment) nor should they be allowed to participate in girls/women's sports.

NO\nBody:\nI do not approve of the proposed guidelines based on radical theories that eradicate all distinctions between male and female and indoctrinate our school children.  We must teach our children to love others regardless.. However we cannot put them in harm's way... Example... Would you want your daughter alone in the same bathroom with a boy who pretended to identify as a girl??? NO!  We must use common sense here.  If there are kids who are truly suffering with transgender... We need to reach out to them in love and provide them with a free counselor.  Having two sexes may be confusing for them and they will probably need to have free counseling to help them in their life.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I myself saw many of my classmates at that time in my life depressed, lost, turning to drugs or other dangerous activities and cutting themselves from bullying even though we were in a well off area in one of the best high schools in Fairfax county. It is not the school system's job to force religious ideals or traditional ideals on kids who just want to explore their identity. Parents are free to think whatever they want, but to oppose a bill that advocates for anti bullying and support of students? That's advocating for the continued terrorizing of these kids who only need support. I strongly support this document because people should be allowed to think whatever they want but they should not be allowed to terrorize other people just because they are different. Schools need to stand up for these kids. The outdated and abrasive opinions by traditional parents who think \"God made us this way\" are harmful - they can teach that in their own home, but if their kid turns out to be transgender and needs support, at least they could get it from school. Additionally, a public school is not a place for enforcing religious beliefs. Let children learn in a safe environment regardless of how they are different. If they are not accepted at home they deserve to be accepted SOMEWHERE. This could save lives.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Your medical panel in favor of this should be ashamed. A child’s identity is determined before birth, and evident in the womb. If you have a penis, you’re a male, a vagina, a female. It’s as simple as that! This radical change is not necessary. My Caucasian male son doesn’t get special treatment and consideration, and neither should this topic. You’re making something out of nothing. You are responsible for teaching academics, not equality, identity, and uncertainty. This is a horrible idea. Parents are responsible for teaching values and virtues, not a government paid person who wants to twist our children’s minds with this garbage. Are you going to pay all the psychology bills for the kids who are preyed upon by these workers and actually confuse the kids even more, and cause them to question their identity, themselves, and even their parents? You are not God. Stop playing God with the lives of others. The human brain does not fully develop until the mid twenties and some people even into their thirties. It seems like you’re trying to brainwash our kids into feeling a certain way about themselves. Kids know who and what they are. Public schools is not the place for psychology and mental counselling. You are starting a swell of opposition who will not tolerate your politics in school. This is more division in our state, and you’re are going to be guilty of all of the wrong that will happen. You can’t expect teachers and staff to be medical doctors and counselors. Are you going to prescribe medication too? You’re caving to peer pressure that activists with nothing better to do than strong arm you into doing this. Where will Virginia public schools be when the opposing parents pull their kids out of school, and even leave the state? You’ll no longer have the numbers of kids, and taxes to fund your experiments will dwindle. I for one am now being called to act. Thank you for showing me how vulnerable you are in not being able to combat this propaganda, yourself, and at your level. You are showing your weakness and inability to lead and manage. You’re in an elected position, and will need to fight to retain it. I’m disgusted and appalled.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I do not support policies that force secular views upon those with opposing religious and ideological views. There is no scientific/psychological consensus concerning gender identity. Genetically speaking there are two distinct genders. Forcing someone to use a different pronoun to identify someone is illegal. It is a violation of our right to free speech. We can address the bullying/harassment without violating freedom of speech. Mandating the removal of confusion by the use  of certain pronouns does not remove the confusion that still exists. Also, we are doing harm  to our children by not addressing these identity issues in a more appropriate counseling session. Children should not be encouraged to make gender identity decisions in adolescence. Adults have enough difficulty understanding the issues. Parents should be responsible for educating their children in this area of their life not the school system. Our school system should be apolitical and educate our children not make decisions for them. By enacting these policies we are in fact making a decision for them and a political statement. Please stop trying to force our children into your ideological box. Racism is wrong. Bullying is wrong. Harassment is wrong. Limiting freedom of speech is wrong. If you really want to help, work in cooperation with the parents of the child who is struggling with their gender identity to get them the help they need or want. Not just counseling from one ideological perspective, but from all perspectives. The antidote to confusion is not less information, but more. That is the challenge of education. We must impart knowledge of all points of view without bias or we are inherently biased. You may not like my point of view, but that doesn't mean you get to dismiss it. The very freedom you purport is the very freedom you deny. We have a pronoun for that which has no identity, \"it.\" No one wants to be called it. Everyone wants to know who they are, their identity. Unfortunately in a pluralistic society with no moral absolutes and no greater source for determining identity and other moral absolutes, we are left to the whim of the day. We are ok with society dictating our moral absolutes as long as they align with what we want from life. What happens when a corrupt society takes charge and there are no longer any moral absolutes. The laws of the land, which are governed by the society will become corrupt because the society determines what is right and wrong. These policies are indications of a much bigger problem in our society. We cannot force political and ideological views on everyone. Our nation is divided because no one from either side is willing to have open healthy debate in the public forum. If my faith can stand on its on merits in the public forum then my faith is blind and misplaced. I am willing to consider your ideas if you are willing to consider mine. We will never make progress without communication. People who are unwilling to debate are are afraid that their ideas are wrong and they can't live with the life they would have to enjoin if their ideas are wrong. Thank you for allowing me to vent.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I think that a lot of the negative comments posted here are from those who are either afraid of the unknown or driven by hatred of anyone different from themselves. What I am sure of is that school, particularly middle and high school, can be a marathon for anyone who is bullied or seen as different or who doesn’t readily fit in. That must be a nightmare. I cannot imagine that transgender students will ever comprise a majority of any particular school, making the smaller number particularly open to harassment. I fully support this policy as well as any others that help marginalized students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents have no say in the matter and schools are now taking over parenting, but they're not the ones up at night with our sick children, or in the hospital with them if one of these \"treatments\" for changing sex goes wrong - what is happening in this State?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Anyone who is “transgender” or “genderfluid” does not follow the word of God and therefore is not considered a human lifeform.

It's really disgusting how people try to use their religion as a reason for why they don't support protections. Your religion doesn't extend into the areas of others' lives and ideologies. And what about separation of church and state?

A policy that says children who are under age can decide what gender they want to be addressed at school and having this done in secret without the parent's approval is absurd!  Parents must be informed of any goings on with their children.  It is not the schools place to take over making such important decisions. Secondly it is not appropriate for children of the opposite sex to be allowed in locker rooms or bathrooms.

There is no form of harm going from trans students to via students in any way. The only harm is going to trans students from their cis counterparts. Did you know that not a single instance has been recorded where a cis person was assaulted in a bathroom by a trans person, but there have been many cases where the opposite has happened?? What needs to happen is we need to create a strong system of support and protection for trans students as they navigate the difficulties of not only school and adolescence, but also the difficult internal and external struggle of coming to terms with your identity and beginning to outwardly display it. I beg you all, have empathy. Have empathy to the teenagers who may live in a household that is emotionally and/or physically violent to them, and to whom a supportive school environment could quite literally be a matter of life and death. The suicide rate of trans kids with supportive families vs unsupportive families is magnitudes different. This matters.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Being trans myself, I had the great privilege of going to a school with significant support for trans students, and I think without it I would be in a much worse place as an adult. I am tired of watching my trans peers go back and forth out of mental institutions because they don’t have access to a supportive community and accepting information provided about their identity. During the time of my initial transition, two trans friends of mine from my hometown killed themselves. I am heartbroken when I hear of trans youth in my city getting disowned from their parents, ending up in a homeless shelter, and turning to heroin from the pain of it. Having supportive and non-discriminatory spaces in schools and among school staff can make a world of difference and preventing years of unnecessary trauma and social exile. It has been shown in multiple studies that when trans people have support, their likelihood of suicide goes down significantly. Be there for your students, identity and beautiful differences and all that comes with it. Offer supportive information on what it means to transition and the complexity of personal identity and you’ll create an informed and responsible class of trans, non-binary, and GNC youth. I don’t see how not supporting students does anything but exile people and create a host of issues that are much harder to resolve in someone’s life\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Our schools are to be a safe haven, a place of inclusion, and an institution for learning - FOR ALL. I don't understand how creating \"inclusivity\" for one then changes the field for another in a potentially worse scenario. I'm trying to set my fear of the unknown aside to be very neutral here. If my children were Transgender I would certainly want inclusiveness for them but in that I would want other children to feel safe in their environment as well. We can't take from one to give to another and call it equal. Should teachers, students, and communities treat Transgender without prejudice and judgement? Absolutely. Does that mean we allow a born \"female\" student into designated \"male\" quarters because she now identifies herself as \"male\"? I don't believe so, and vice versa. A born \"male\" student shouldn't be permitted into \"female\" facilities. I clearly see the conflict here for a Transgender person and where they feel they belong but I can't support the policy of full immersion like this. For clarity - I was born female and I identify as female. Thinking of my own experience of middle school through high school; locker rooms were awkward. For gym, for sports, all the above. The dressing out, showering, changing clothing in front of my \"like-bodied\" cohort was an awkward experience as it was and the thought of adding in the opposite sex, even if they do mentally identify as female, is a thought that honestly I am not comfortable with. I also don't agree with the inclusion of sports. In theory - yeah, it's a great idea. But in a real world scenario it isn't going to be fair or safe to everyone. Male sports and female sports have been separate for decades for reason and reasons I agree with. So how do we evolve? My suggestion - if it's for bathrooms or gym scenarios, it's providing more private bathrooms for one person use. If you have to label it, put the sign \"Bathroom\" on it. Male, Female, whoever wants to use it, can use it. If it's environment that needs to be worked on, I believe that's going to come down to the School Board and individual school's Principal to set the culture and expectations to be withheld and the counseling department to assist in support. I am unsure why and how the focus of our education system came to be solely on the gender, color, and sexual orientation of our children and it honestly baffles me that we have these conversations but I feel that if we are going to focus on the emotional support of our children more, then we need to be emphasizing the expectation of inclusion more with faculty and staff and setting the culture in our schools. A no tolerance policy needs to be withheld and if it is more about physical logistics then build more private restrooms. I understand that all students don't come with a supportive home or involved parents and that school is that safe space of love, nurture, and support for those specific situations. It should remain that way and I understand that is the thought behind a policy such as this but it also feels like we are creating too many loop holes that can create a very unsafe space for other students if not handled properly. I just ask that we think of ALL students when trying to change for one.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Additionally,  scientific studies and on-the-ground experience tell us that children have better health outcomes when they are supported in living their authentic selves, including transgender and gender diverse children.  Schools have great opportunities to model how diverse persons can come together, learn from each other,  and create a stronger community. I can't imagine why anyone would argue to make schools a hostile and harmful environment for any child, including LGBTQ+ kids??? All our children deserve to have communities and schools create safe spaces to learn and grow.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I oppose the policy recommendation for DOE Transgender students in the public school system. My thoughts: 1.  This would be in direct violation of the cisgender students rights to privacy and protection.  In the developmental years sexual identity is sensitive.  There needs to be another solution offered that includes protecting and respecting all children according to their belief and choice about gender and sexuality as all are represented in the public school system.  This can only be done when the American way of diplomacy is active.  The goal should be simple, how do we protect all children within the system.  Anything short of this approach is hypocritical by nature and bias.  This policy proposed is bias and disrespectful of cisgender beliefs. 2.  Teachers need to be given the Amendment freedom of speech and religion.  They should not be stifled or allowed to push their agenda to students or fearful of retaliation from other faculty if they oppose the transgender policy. 3.  It is also bias to involve social services if a child's parents disagree with their developing transgender choice.  This is a sensitive issue and families need support and respect to work through raising their children in a loving, gentle environment.  This constraint is assuming that parents are negligent if they don't agree with a transgender approach to sexuality.  To be cisgender is to believe that our gender is given to us for procreation and healthy, loving relationship according to a Biblical world view.  This view should not be regarded as wrong or abusive simply to protect the rights of those who chose otherwise.  We cannot stop racist or discrimination by outlawing the right to live according to one's biological and religious choice.  No one should be harmed by another's choice.  Do no harm must be a driving goal shared by all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

All children need to be able to learn in an environment of safety and acceptance. The rate of suicide and mental/emotional distress among the transgender population far exceeds the rates in the general population, and so it is clear this represents a mental health crisis that as a community, we need to address. Some of the comments I have read make it very clear that many people have not had any training on trans issues, or have no exposure to an actual human being who identifies as trans, and are simply regurgitating unsubstantiated fears. I am disappointed that we can't all come together and choose the obviously compassionate path here. At the end of the day, gender is a social construct anyway. Does it really matter what gender a person identifies with? Many cultures see gender on a spectrum. It is only because someone at some point decided to dichotomize gender that we have decided, in the West at least, that one can only identify as one of two genders, and your gender \"should\" match your genitalia. This forces us to marginalize anyone who doesn't neatly fit into these two categories. We literally don't have a place for them. Can you imagine how that might feel if you were one of the people who experiences a more fluid sense of your gender, or if you have more ambiguous genitalia, or hormonal or chromosomal differences? If we stopped caring so much about a person's gender designation, these policies might not feel like such a big deal. I urge everyone to examine your own worries and fears around this topic and explore where those come from. Your reaction is not about anyone who identifies as trans. It is about you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This does not need each citizen support because it already has each citizen support in the existence of... - The First Amendment - where we ALL have freedom of expression - Equal Protection under the Fourteenth Amendment - where we ALL have protection (FYI, this is the one we haven't been honoring as our LGBTQIA+ youth have not been protected) - Title VII of the Civil Rights Act - where sexual and gender protections exist - Title IX of Education Amendments - where it PROHIBITS discrimination of these youth in schools!!! Though I am glad to live in a democracy and glad that our State allows for our input in such decisions -- our PERSONAL OPINIONS and PERSONAL FEARS are not of concern here. LGBTQIA+ youth and individuals exist and deserve the same rights and protections of any other citizen in this country. By denying these rights, we are not living up to our Constitution, we are not living up to what it means to be an American, we are not living up to our basic democratic philosophies. Our country was built and has been continuously made better by our differences, by our diversity, by our inclusion. We have proven time and again that though our neighbor may disagree with us, we, together, can find the common humanity that exists between us. Our LGBTQIA+ youth are asking YOU to see their common humanity. How can we deny that? Every child, our most vulnerable population, deserves protection and support - no matter who they are.

It is of course laudable to assist those who are in need. However, these proposals go much further than just helping and in fact promote the “transgender ideology”. First, the definition of gender identity is itself problematic: “A person’s internal sense of their own identity as a boy/man, girl/woman, something in between, or outside the male/female binary” (p. 6). Thus “School divisions should accept a student’s assertion of their gender identity without requiring any particular substantiating evidence, including diagnosis, treatment, or legal documents. A student is considered transgender if, at school, the student consistently asserts a gender identity different from the sex assigned at birth...” (p.12). This amazingly fluid, subjective, and unscientific definition is the basis for the document’s policies. Consider what this means for parental rights: “There are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student’s request to affirm their gender identity...[A] plan may include 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 communicating with parents or guardians” (p.12). In other words, not only could a school leave the parents out of decisions and deliberations profoundly impacting their children; it could also deliberately deceive them. Further, consider students’ privacy, modesty, and safety in the use of bathrooms and locker rooms: “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” (p.18). These policies would also compel speech: “For transgender students, acts of verbal harassment may include the intentional and persistent use of names and pronouns not consistent with their identity (p.10)...A school employee’s intentional and persistent refusal to respect a student’s asserted name and pronoun is considered discriminatory” (p.12). In other words, one must comply with the transgendered vocabulary. This is forced participation in error, another kind of verbal bullying. It is one thing to claim transgendered status and ask for kindness to those who are transgendered. It is another thing entirely to compel others to use language approving of it. Again, it is laudable to want to ease the sufferings of others. But this document, in seeking to accommodate one group, cuts against parental rights, student safety, and freedom of speech.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is strong data that children and adolescents who identify as LGBTQ+, and particularly children and adolescents who are gender diverse, suffer severe mental and physical health consequences, through no fault of their own, when they are taught living as their authentic selves is wrong. The remedy? There is also strong data that putting aside your biases and supporting youth to live authentically in their gender has the power to almost completely eradicate those poor outcomes. Schools and other institutions have particular power in this area, as they model to communities how ALL people can, and should, be safe and respected. And despite fears, there is NO data to support the idea that meeting the needs of gender diverse people of any age is a safety risk for anyone else, including in bathrooms. Instead, it is a clear safety risk to people who are LGBTQ+ to continue to teach intolerance, as we know there are high rates of suicide and homicide against them. We have the power to do better by these children, and in doing so create a more inclusive, supportive environment for all children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six ” – that are 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. There is much talk about the need to protect students who describe themselves as \"transgendered.\" Certainly these confused individuals deserve our sympathy and help and respect for their dignity as human beings. But 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 as part of an overnight school activity, or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex (particularly adults!) -- which will inevitably happen under this policy. And the resulting traumatic reactions of students to these situations (especially girls) are also inevitable. Who speaks for them? It also tells you a lot about the intentions of those pushing this guidance that it prohibits schools from even notifying parents if a biological male is using the same changing facility as their daughter that was designated for girls. (See the Draft Policy, p.12) Schools should also not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible “gender transitions.\" Nor should they be infringing on the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children, as this \"guidance\" would do. Finally, who will speak up for the students, parents, or teachers whose speech will be compelled under this guidance? This policy provides 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. It would also subject faculty and students to disciplinary action if they are unable to keep up with the ever-changing, totally subjective \"gender identity\" or \"preferred pronouns\" of their classmates. This is madness. Please reject this incredibly misguided and unworkable policy, which 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.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This guidance says that they will follow \"evidence-based best practices\" which demonstrates that the suggestions in this guidance are supported by research and have been agreed upon by experts in the field as the best ways to support these students. As others have stated, the rates of suicidal ideation and mental health concerns for trans students are way higher than for other students. If this guidance can help these students in any way, why would anyone question implementing it? This guidance simply states that it encourages the maintenance of a safe and supportive learning environment free from discrimination and harassment for all students--if you are opposed to this type of learning environment, you need to take a serious look at yourself and your values. These students are human beings and deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect as everyone else. Before firing off a \"strongly oppose\" comment, I encourage you to have empathy and imagine what this would feel like if YOU were one of these struggling transgender students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is entering the realm of social manipulation intead of teaching basic knowledge and skills such as \"reading, writing, and arithmetic.\"  Students will be distracted by concerns over recalling what \"identity\" a classmate has and what to call them in order to stay out of trouble, instead of learning actual class content. While you claim to be \"sensitive\" to a transgender student, the result is that you fail to be sensitive to ALL students who don't fall into this category.  What happened to science? DNA shows only 2 sexes, male and female.  Anything else that is claimed is in the area of supposition and unsubstantiated. Your new policies usurp the role of the parent and takes away their rights to raise their children according to their values and beliefs.  It is not the job of the school system.  Threatening a call to child protective services has overtones of a police state, not a school system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is a complex issue. The current policy of allowing schools to work with the transgendered students and their families to offer a private alternative for using the restroom affords privacy to both that student and all the remaining students. The argument can be made that makes the student stand out form their peers. However, dressing in front of individuals of a different biological sex does that even more. In respecting the needs of individuals we also must consider the needs of the whole student body to feel safe and comfortable. It is important to also get anonymous student input not just that of adult advocates.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Any attempts to claim or pretend otherwise in order to accommodate delusions, and then attempt to re-assign and manipulate existing rights, distinctions, and protections between the two sexes, is nothing more than based on falsifications, fabrications, fraud, and therefore illegal. It is unfair, discriminatory, and inhumane to force biological men and boys into the bathrooms, locker rooms and showers of biological females who may object based on conscience, religion, science, medicine, comfort, and safety. It is unfair, discriminatory, and unjust to allow biological males to compete in female sports, may result in physically harm females, and violates TITLE IX US Civil Rights law (created to protect the rights of females and ensure equality between the two sexes). It is child abuse and cruel for the government to encourage, subsidize, and provide access for sexually confused children to be given dangerous and harmful drugs, permanent surgery to remove healthy and vital body organs, and force sterilization, when medical journals report 9 out of 10 sexually confused children grow out of their sexual confusion by adulthood and align with their own biological sex. It is unfair, discriminatory, hateful, and bigoted to harass, penalize, and violate those who may do not support the unjust impositions from such harmful proposed policies by a confirmed mental disorder, including unjustly discriminating and violating civil rights and first amendment rights against those that are Muslim, Catholic, Evangelist Christians, Orthodox Jews, Mormons, Rape Victims, Medical Professionals, Biologists, Scientists, Psychologists, Counselors, Military Soldiers, Female Athletes, and even the plethora of Ex-Transgenders.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am against the Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools for the following reasons: 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 considered “harassment” and “discrimination”, for which both faculty and students would be subject to disciplinary action. Schools should not 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! Parents should be informed about everything regarding their child and the school system. It takes a team of educator, student and parent in public school education. 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. 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. • 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. The requirements for schools to maintain gender-neutral dress code standards will cause disruptions and distractions, permitting boys to wear skirts and girls to go topless in activities where boys can – such as swimming activities or teams. 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 and sociology prevents them from being able to go along with the “transgender” ideology and policies. There are many more reasons to oppose the proposed Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools. These policies are detrimental to our educational system and will only add more problems then what they hope to solve. Please do not support these policies!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I was lucky enough to attend a school that allowed me to use my chosen name and bathrooms that align with my gender identity. Some of my trans friends who went to other schools did not have the same experience. All students deserve to be treated with respect and equality while they learn. Dealing with bigotry on a daily basis is incredibly harmful to students mental health and leads to higher rates of suicide for trans children. Therefore this measure to provide inclusive rights for trans kids is LIFE SAVING and its potential positive impact cannot be understated.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I think the time has come for us to stop pushing back on discrimination and inequality.  So much time is wasted on trying to tear people down and treat them as inferior, when we should all be working to build each other up and support each other.  This is particularly important for our youth and particularly when they are just trying to get an education and get a start in the world.  Anything that can help them along their way should be encouraged.  Something set in place to help one person doesn't have to been seen as somehow removing rights from someone else.  It isn't a zero sum game and it's time we started to realize that. I have a niece who called me the day before Christmas to tell me that they had themselves into a mental health facility.  She/they are struggling to be understood at home, and given where she lives, I would imagine that her classmates give her a hard time for her pronouns.  This is a waste of time and energy. Why are we tearing down a child?  What is the point?  To try to get them to conform to an idea that is stale and useless?  We need to broaden our minds, broaden our hearts and start caring for and loving ALL of our children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

What legislation is in place for bullying and lack of acceptance related to people who are \"different\" with things like cleft palate, down syndrome, missing fingers, learning disabilities... ad infinitum?  Why is the issue of trans-gender such a hot topic when so many teens would already say they get bullied and mocked at school?  Not only is it being singled out as an issue, but these policies (helping a fractional minority) would step on all kinds of people who morally disagree. People can \"accept\" someone's feelings while still disagreeing about those feelings, and can ALSO do so without being mean or cruel. Teaching parents and children about THAT would be way more productive than forcing them to adhere to policies, procedures, and beliefs about something with which they morally disagree. For example, it is NOT OK for girls to share bathrooms and gym showers with teenage young men who think they are women. How many days will we go before some young man is willing to say he's trans-gender (even though he's not) just so he can hang out in the ladies showers. This puts our daughters at risk under the name of \"acceptance and support\". Absolutely ridiculous. Regardless of your religious or moral stance, this is just a big political move that will cost us all a lot more than we think. I completely oppose this policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

There is no question on that. And Virginia has a good anti-bullying law. But this new, proposed policy goes way beyond prevention and crosses the line into mandatory promotion of politicized and sexualized ideology, by assuming that every child with gender confusion should obviously change genders and by essentially criminalizing any effort to help children be comfortable with their own bodies. Considering that scientific studies and medical experts make clear the majority of children outgrow gender confusion by the time they reach adolescence—it’s, at best, irresponsible to push involuntary promotion of gender confusion in a public education setting—and, at worst, actually damaging to kids who are still developing.  It also pits schools against parents, and requires schools to teach that sex is arbitrarily and randomly \"assigned\" at birth (rather than determined by DNA and manifested in male or female genitalia), which is objectively false.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In the clinics and my own private practice, I have helped dozens of transgender youth. Even when things go smoothly, the process can take a year or longer. Trans students awaiting correct documents should not face persistent misgendering or deadnaming in school. It is well documented that the risk of suicide is dramatically lower when students are identified by their intended name and according to their gender identity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Teachers unions and the democratic party are trying to eliminate male and female identification. Their goal is to reeducate our children.  Look at Nancy Pelosi's banning the use of father, mother, sister, brother, gender based pronouns, etc in the House of Representatives. Democrats claim to follow science when in reality they are facists.  I don't hate anyone who identifies as a gender besides their God given sex, but do believe that they are confused at best.  When you hear a  lie long enough you start believing it.  I think this is what the democratic party has done.

Instead of attempting to help children during their maturation process which is sometimes confusing, the education department is sentencing confused children into life long turmoil under the guise of fairness.  This is not loving or kind, but merely a political payoff to a well funded lobby that would like everyone to submit to their lifestyle choices. It is contrary to science and will only lead to more heartache and destruction in the future.  Moreover, it is in violation of the First Amendment which protects the rights of parents in freely practicing their religion.  (Which you suspiciously left out in your description.) Do not put this policy in place.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

NO schools should be promoting any POLICY about sex. Apart from the fact that children are male or female, this policy promotes personal confusion, social problems and difficulties for parents who under no circumstance accept this immoral teaching. I would suggest that the Fairfax County Public Schools get back to teaching the normal curriculum for each grade and STOP promoting social policies. The result of not concentrating on the curriculum is that students are now UNEDUCATED and ill-informed. As a result, corporations can NOT hire students from the Fairfax County Public Schools since they are NOT prepared for the REAL world. As a result, more of them are committing suicide and turning to drugs and crime. Jane A. Quill 3179 Lindenwood Lane Fairfax, VA 22031\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Current school policies already protect transgender students, together with all students in Virginia public schools, from discrimination.  These new proposed policies go far beyond this protection to single out transgender students for privileged treatment above other students.  The result of these policies will be the denying of rights to other students such as the rights to privacy, freedom of association, parental involvement, and a school environment free of coercion.  There is also much medical evidence coming to light as to the devastating affects of encouraging gender confusion in children.  Encouraging children  to decide for themselves if they are male or female irregardless of their biological gender and DNA is emotionally detrimental; and if they are encouraged to pursue a course of medical gender transition, the devastating physical outcomes are also well documented.  These polices are not for the good of our children, but are being used to promote a political agenda which will also further lessen the effectiveness of our educational system as valuable personnel and material resources are spent on enforcement of these polices rather than on a sound academic education.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

That said, it is very short sighted and harmful to the majority of students, or any students, who don't have those issues, to be subjected to all the problems your new policies would create. The students who are not struggling with this issue would have their personal space, modesty, untroubled attitude, and play in sports, for starters, all be questioned if not outright attacked. All this harm to untroubled students would not even benefit who it's supposed to help since even with much professional help they still have many issues to resolve.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Current school policies already protect transgender students, together with all students in Virginia public schools, from discrimination.  These new proposed policies go far beyond this protection to single out transgender students for privileged treatment above other students.  The result of these policies will be the denying of rights to other students such as the rights to privacy, freedom of association, parental involvement, and a school environment free of coercion.  There is also much medical evidence coming to light as to the devastating affects of encouraging gender confusion in children.  Encouraging children  to decide for themselves if they are male or female irregardless of their biological gender and DNA is emotionally detrimental; and if they are encouraged to pursue a course of medical gender transition, the devastating physical outcomes are also well documented.  These polices are not for the good of our children, but are being used to promote a political agenda which will also further lessen the effectiveness of our educational system as valuable personnel and material resources are spent on enforcement of these polices rather than on a sound academic education.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

By trying to weave in gender and transgender issues which can be very confusing for many children and even teens, it requires teachers to be \"pretend\" psychologists without the training or understanding to be effective and can cause significant harm to young people.  We need our teachers to focus on their area of education/expertise and learn the best ways to be effective in teaching the core subjects that we expect our children to learn at school to be able to succeed in future jobs and life.  If a child truly struggles with a gender issue, that is the place to have a well qualified counselor (Take the money you would spend on incorporating gender into other studies and spend it on getting outstanding, well-trained counselors while better preparing teachers to teach their core subjects!) work with the child in combination with the parents, but that is no reason to take up valuable core-subject classroom time for everyone which will by definition keep them from learning the topics needed to succeed and also potentially confuse children that have absolutely no question about their gender.  As a woman with many female friends who have been successful athletes, I also 100% disagree with having anyone with male genetics and hormones compete in women's sports.  That is not fair to young girls and women and is terrible for their self-esteem.  We need to FOLLOW THE SCIENCE on this.  Males have a biological advantage.  It is totally not fair to future opportunities, including athletic scholarship opportunities for girls.  We've spent years trying to get funding into schools for girls sports only to now consider disadvantaging biological girls in sports.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Appropriate support for a transgender student who is being bullied is to teach bullies that their action is wrong, not to try and convince the bully and every other student, bully or not, that the transgender student is right and allow their confusion or ideology to negatively impact countless other students and families. This is not education. It is indoctrination to an opinion that is not shared by everyone. Our education system should teach character that is easily agreed upon by the families it serves, not attempt to have everyone think the same way on issues that are not easily agreed upon by the majority of families that are entitled to public education in the United States. It is agreeable to teach that bullying is wrong. This will not create controversy. It is not agreeable to teach that gender is fluid and that genders are randomly assigned at birth.

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”.

By trying to weave in gender and transgender issues which can be very confusing for many children and even teens, it requires teachers to be \"pretend\" psychologists without the training or understanding to be effective and can cause significant harm to young people.  We need our teachers to focus on their area of education/expertise and learn the best ways to be effective in teaching the core subjects that we expect our children to learn at school to be able to succeed in future jobs and life.  If a child truly struggles with a gender issue, that is the place to have a well qualified counselor (Take the money you would spend on incorporating gender into other studies and spend it on getting outstanding, well-trained counselors while better preparing teachers to teach their core subjects!) work with the child in combination with the parents, but that is no reason to take up valuable core-subject classroom time for everyone which will by definition keep them from learning the topics needed to succeed and also potentially confuse children that have absolutely no question about their identity. I also 100% disagree with having anyone with male genetics and hormones compete in women's sports.  That is not fair to young girls and women and is terrible for their self-esteem.  We need to FOLLOW THE SCIENCE on this.  Males have a biological advantage.  It is totally not fair to future opportunities, including athletic scholarship opportunities for girls.  We've spent years trying to get funding into schools for girls sports only to now consider disadvantaging biological girls in sports.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I  spoke to a recent graduate from a Virginia Beach public high school last week. She was grateful she was out and scared for those young girls still in school if this comes to pass. She stated consensual sex in bathrooms, locker rooms, stairwells was already a problem in her high school. These new proposed policies would only increase that problem many times over while at the same time completely undermining the school environment as a place for learning. If that was not cause enough to reject these proposals then certainly the blatant attempt to place barriers between the student/parent relationship should be. If adopted as proposed, I see a great exodus from public education which is certainly something I would highly recommend to any parent concerned about their child's well-being.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The state education officials are not including kids’ bodily safety and privacy into their definition of “safe for all.” Because 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 present of biological males, not to mention young men who don’t want to change in front of biological girls. Also, considering that 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 involuntary promotion of gender confusion in a public education setting—and, at worst, actually damaging to kids who are still developing.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In situations where students are being deprived of food, shelter, or where words are used to berate them (words used to express a different viewpoint, when shared with kindness, are NOT berating or damaging) or physical harm delivered to them, we should be unmoved in our resolve to protect and give parents tools to support their children. But this policy regarding transgender rights allows for the watering down of what constitutes abuse, leading to unnecessary and dangerous calls for child removal from the home and strips parents of their rights to guide their children. No person should control the flow of information that goes to a parent. This policy will allow for serious subjectivity and bias and tie the hands of parents.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This document demonstrates thoughtful considerations for ways to maintain a safe and inclusive school environment with a specific focus on transgender students. As a former school counselor, I can attest to the positive impact that attending school in an environment that feels safe and welcoming has for transgender and gender non-binary students. Additionally, creating a school environment where one group feels safe (especially a group that has been significantly marginalized) increases the likelihood that all students will feel safe and supported. Many have commented that \"this issue\" should be left to parents. While I agree that parents should have conversations about gender identity with their children, this document more explicitly addresses school safety and culture which is not under the purview of parents. Everyone should feel affirmed in the educational setting and this model policy provides specific guidelines towards that end. My only suggestion would be that all school staff, teachers, and administrators have the requirement of annual training related to LGBTQ+ issues. This directive should not be limited to school mental health professionals.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Current school policies already protect transgender students, together with all students in Virginia public schools, from discrimination.  These new proposed policies go far beyond this protection to single out transgender students for privileged treatment above other students.  The result of these policies will be the denying of rights to other students such as the rights to privacy, freedom of association, parental involvement, and a school environment free of coercion.  There is also much medical evidence coming to light as to the devastating affects of encouraging gender confusion in children.  Encouraging children  to decide for themselves if they are male or female irregardless of their biological gender and DNA is emotionally detrimental; and if they are encouraged to pursue a course of medical gender transition, the devastating physical outcomes are also well documented.  These polices are not for the good of our children, but are being used to promote a political agenda which will also further lessen the effectiveness of our educational system as valuable personnel and material resources are spent on enforcement of these polices rather than on a sound academic education. Plus, this proposed policy makes no allowances for religious exemptions and is therefore a violation of 1st Amendment-Freedom of Religion guarantees  There will be lengthy and expensive court challenges as a result of this which will further strain the already tight school systems budgets. There will be many parents that will simply pull there children out of public school and opt to homeschool rather than subject their children to this indoctrination. That will be a further detriment to Pubic education. You need to think through ALL the ramifications of this action!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is a great option to accepting a curriculum that is 'unacceptable' to the parent (s).  The taxes we all pay ?

In the guise of inclusivity and protective compassion, it promotes a radical anti-family, anti-establishment and anti-science agenda.  It escalates gender confusion, removes student’s privacy, mandates speech, and creates a wealth of punitive measures to use against any student, parent or teacher disagree with or refuse to affirm the “LGBTQ+ cultural competency” it mandates.  If enacted, disagreement with any of the policies can be defined as harassment, bullying and discrimination. It promotes indoctrination by “rewriting of educational content (history, literature and science)” to add ‘transgender affirming content’.  Far from protecting gender-confused students, it directly threatens the free speech, free exercise of religion and freedom of conscience of the entire school community.   This ‘nondiscrimination’ policy appears to be a cudgel created specifically to discriminate against and crush any who disagree with its extreme and harmful transgender ideology. This is NOT the way to educate and protect our children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Scientific studies and medical experts make clear the majority of children outgrow gender confusion by the time they reach adolescence.  To push gender ideology and sexualization on children is child abuse. According to the proposed 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.  This is an utter violation of children's privacy and as well as parental rights. While paying lip service to “safety” and “respect,” the proposed policy obviously disrespects religious and socially conservative families and educators, as well as students who simply want physical privacy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My kids grew up in Fairfax County schools in VA. I have a transgender son who came out his sophomore year of high school. He was incredibly brave and resourceful in educating the school administrators how to make changes within the school systems in order to make him be more welcome and accepted as who he was, as the administrators had limited experience in such matters, plus had no guidelines from the county school board or the State DOE. The school administrators also were unprepared to anticipate and then handle discriminatory actions by faculty that included homophobic slurs, offensive attempts at gender humor, unsolicited and unacceptable personal questions, and, of course, no concrete approach to providing adequate bathroom allowances. A true effective learning environment for all students requires a diverse, accepting environment for all students, no matter who they are, what their differences are, who they love, or how they dress. Any religion I ever studied held a common theme that God loves all humans and accepts his diverse creation no matter what. All people deserve equal, human rights, no matter who they are. Thank you for taking this very important step in VA, plus for your courage being one of the first state legislatures to pave the way for this country wide. This will greatly help countless students going forward who, like my trans son, just happen to be different than you, me, and many others.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

So many false allegations and other mishappenings could easily come from this. Not to mention the easy access for underage and unsafe sex and abuse would be easily accessible. Another concern is the fact that those parents who chose to teach their children about their God-given gender and identity would be more than likely frowned upon and open to bullying. Due to religious beliefs this definitely would cross a major line in numerous religions. I am definitely opposed I this and think it should NOT be passed. If it does then you will see the downfall of public education because parents will simply feel like their children are unsafe.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Sports should be based on their given abilities. Girls will not hold near the abilities as boys and vice versa. I just can’t understand how that is fair for either student. Parents have every right to know as the child is technically under the age of 18 and they are responsible for the child not the school. Their is no grounds there. Schools need to take a step back and   Take into consideration how uncomfortable this is going to make others as well. I certainly don’t want a girl looking at my son in the boys locker room who “may” identify as a boy who’s to question. You may as well let them all dress and have community bathrooms and locker rooms that they all use.(sarcasm inserted) I’m beyond upset this is even being considered and may look to boy only private schools if this becomes a thing.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Students can change daily,if desired,  their sexual identity whenever they feel like it and teachers, parents, and children will be reprimanded if they do not address them with the proper pronoun.   Parents ought to be able to help guide their child until an adult. That said ,” transgender “ children should be respected and not bullied, as any other student. This policy as written, is too restrictive, not allowing for freedom of speech, freedom of religious beliefs which have molded our country and policies for centuries.

It is damaging to all exposed.\nBody:\nChildren are not able to make this type of decision about their body before their body is fully formed. Their parents have a right to know what is going on. Other children in the school should not be exposed to this kind of behavior. Boys should never have access to girls locker rooms and vice versa. There are reasons that they are separated. A bathroom needs to be completely private and should never be accessed by the opposite gender weather or not the child “feels like” the opposite sex. This is damaging to our society and the future of our country and world. Children should be children and they should not have to be exposed to this type of brainwashing. You are born with one sex, accepting it and embracing it should be encouraged and not discouraged. Everything else needs to be addressed by the parents and not the school or teacher. Any problem should be discussed with a parent.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I firmly believe the well-researched and evidence based positions this proposal motivates for it's model policies would improve outcomes for all students; even cis students benefit when their Trans peers can know themselves thoroughly and publicly, without fear or professional, academic, or social friction.

I oppose it when it is children. I believe undesturbed children should play with other children their same age. By play I mean sports, recreational activities and doing kid things. Yes, there might be a child with more advanced thoughts or experiences. I wish that child to always know its only play time and nothing more. I don't want my children returning to me sexulized or even pondering it in any symbolic, mystical, artistic, political or nuanced way. My fear is that society today is taking youth and streamlining them for a confused existence that is more than a simple challenge for parents. I don't want my kids playing doctor with other kids today. I prefer them to not know any of these things until they are over 10. Finally, I want my kids to be respectful to all walks of life but always be aware and listen to the seeds of thought coming from others. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are policies in place now for struggling students. Public education has deteriorated, so to divert attention from this widespread abysmal failure, social radicals have to create their next victim/cause. Also, transgender males should never compete against females in sports. They have a natural advantage and can deprive female athletes of scholarships.

PARENTS - must not be left out of THEIR child's decision regarding such a life altering action.  Taking action without parental knowledge is unacceptable.  I can't fathom why any school district would prevent a parent from knowing what is happening to their child.  What I find hypocritical is that a school system MUST notify a parent if they are giving the student a \"Tylenol\" or \"Advil\" for a headache, but will take a girl out of the school to an abortion clinic to have an abortion, all WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT.  That's crazy. BIOLOGICAL GIRLS/WOMEN - must be protected at all costs.  The hyper-sexualization of women and girls is unacceptable in today's society.  Allowing biological boys who identify as a girl to use girl designated bathrooms or locker rooms is unacceptable and a threat to girl/women safety. Case in point, in another state, a transgender boy (biologically a male) identifying as a girl was allowed to use the girls locker room.  Three girls complained about the situation that they felt uncomfortable and threatened by the boy's presence and school administration continued to allow the boy to use that locker room.  The administration allowed this despite the boy's inappropriate behavior while in the girls locker room, while in his underwear, the boy would prance and gyrate his hips in a sexual manner in front of the girls. They felt very threatened by his behavior.  The three girls decided to use an alternate locker room to feel \"safe.\"  However the trans-boy followed them to the locker room and while the girls were changing, the trans-boy his inappropriate behavior in his underwear in the presence of the girls. GIRLS SPORTS - Allowing transgender boys to participate in girls sports will devastate girls sports entirely.  Transgender boys, even those that have taken hormone blockers, STILL have a distinct advantage over girls in any sport due to muscle mass and bone structure.  At the molecular level, any trans identifying as the opposite sex is still biologically the sex they were born as, male or female.  The fastest female Olympian runner the United States can run the 400m in ~49 seconds.  That's fast.  However, about 300 high school boys can run the 400m in less time.  How is that fair to girls?  It's not. HOW MANY STUDENTS? - My son informed me that out of 1,000 randomly chosen students, you'll have two \"2\" that are transgendered.  I agree with that statement especially after being a teacher for 10-years.  Out of the almost 1,500 children I taught in high school, a dozen were homosexual, about the same number were lesbian, and one was transgendered.  That said, if you were in my class, you were treated with respect and dignity by myself and I commanded it of my students.  Further, at my son's school, any trans student could use the bathrooms in the guidance counselors office.  It was safe, clean, and nobody challenged them. However, having unlocked bathrooms for use at any time is a recipe for disaster. Should this policy be implemented, I fear that our young girls will lose educational and sport opportunities as well as scholarships because they can't compete with transboys.  Further, girls will be subjected to boys in rooms they don't belong in simply because they identify as girl. Please don't implement this policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This being passed will make trans students feel like they are seen as real people, not just people pretending to be something they aren't. Sexual assault is most commonly done by someone the victim knows, and is usually an adult cis male. Sexual assault among minors should not be a concern, and even if it were, would be as much of a concern now as if this were to be passed. Sexual assault does not always occur between an assigned female at birth person and an assigned male at birth person. Additionally, I believe that all the opposition here based on religion should not be valid. There is a separation of church and state for a reason, and the laws should not be based off of the bible. As a trans person, I am hoping to see this bill passed. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is totally unfair and as most governmental policies it sounds good on paper but the carrying out of it is impossible and would place an undue burden on the educational system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

But if your bisexual pan sexual transgender etc you can force your views and opinions onto others and it’s viewed as expressing yourself. Hypocritical is what it is. This is absolutely insane. Basically me being a big chested woman if I was in school I could take my shirt off and “go free” outside if I falsely said I’m a boy. So many people are going to be bullied even more, sexually assaulted and no one seems to care. People only care if the “new” views and opinions are allowed. No one truly cares about the safety of children. Forcing these rules/topics/beliefs is so wrong. You say it’s neglectful if you as a parent tell your child your a girl because you have a vagina but it’s not neglectful for anyone to use whatever bathroom cause they “want” to. So kids can go have sex whether it’s consent from both parties or NOT. Adults need to grow a pair and tell people no. If someone wants to start a private school system where this is allowed by all means go for it and then those that agree can send their children there. We have two genders. Female and male. There is nothing else, whether you look at this biblically or scientifically. This is all nothing but scared ignorant people scared to make one person upset even if it means harming handfuls of children. I can tell you right now if this is allowed my child and many more will not go to public school and the counties funds can dry up for all I care.\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: 96628\nTitle: Fundamentally Flawed\nBody:\nThe proposed model would be devastating to Virginia’s families, children, and parents, as well as many teachers and other school staff. It would deny their right to freedom of speech, including freedom from compelled speech. It would also violate the right of parents to raise their children according to their own values and beliefs, which is specifically protected by Virginia Code Section 1-240.1. There is already a prohibition against harassment and bullying of students and unauthorized disclosure of their personal information, regardless of their gender identity. The proposed model would make transgender students a specially protected class of people above cisgender students (e.g., by treating the status of a transgender student as “particularly sensitive”), thus violating cisgender students’ constitutional right to equal protection of the laws. The proposed model would create an unsafe and stressful environment for cisgender students by requiring them to share their bathrooms and locker rooms with transgender students who have not fully transitioned. This would be especially unsafe and stressful for cisgender girls. If the Board of Education truly cares about the well-being of all students and their families, then it must revise the proposed model to correct these fundamentally flawed policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

A 2020 survey of transgender youth indicated the following: Over 60% reported engaging in self-harm in the past twelve months More 50% seriously considered suicide in the past twelve months 3 in 4 reported symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder in the past two weeks 1 in 3 LGBTQ youth reported that they had been physically threatened or harmed in their lifetime due to their LGBTQ identity 46% of LGBTQ youth report they wanted psychological or emotional counseling from a mental health professional but were unable to receive it in the past 12 months 29% of LGBTQ youth have experienced homelessness, been kicked out, or run away 61% of transgender and nonbinary youth reported being prevented or discouraged from using a bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity Transgender and nonbinary youth who reported having pronouns respected by all or most people in their lives attempted suicide at half the rate of those who did not have their pronouns respected ( https://www.thetrevorproject.org/survey-2020/ ) My own child came home from school today extremely distressed at being misgendered by a substitute teacher because he wore makeup. For those who cannot understand the experience of having you personhood denied by others, please try to image how it would feel if you were continually referred to by others as a gender other than the one with which you identify. Moreso, imagine how it would feel if the person you loved most in the world (your child) lived in a world where every day they were told they were sick, damaged, wrong, unnatural, mentally ill, and the many, many other messages that they get from a cisnormative culture daily. Youth suicide can be prevented. Youth homelessness can be prevented. Youth self-harm can be prevented. Youth anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns can be prevented. Discrimination and harassment of LGBT youth can be prevented. This policy can make a difference in preventing harm to our children. We can make a difference in protecting our youth and ensuring their right to a safe and supportive educational environment. Please put this policy in place so that all children are guaranteed the safety to learn and grow in a supportive and safe environment; so that they know that their lives matter! Thank you. Dr. Noelle St. Germain-Sehr\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The Bible clearly states God created them, male and female. As a Christian we are called to follow his word which goes against everything in this legislation. As parents of 2 young daughters this legislation is terrifying. Passing this opens the door to potential sexual abuse in bathrooms, locker rooms, etc.  The thought of a man being in the same bathroom with our girls is nauseating.  There is nothing that stops a sexual predator from using this label as an excuse to get closer to our children and yours. As an educator who frequently takes students on overnight trips this is also concerning for the reasons mentioned above. Further, your legislation suggests giving accommodations to someone who feels uncomfortable. These trips are already expensive and allowing someone to have a room to themselves because they are uncomfortable just doesn't makes sense. Sports are not addressed yet but we know this will be a stepping stone. We want our young girls to have the opportunity to compete against other young ladies in the future in fair competition.  Any athletic event where a girl will be forced to compete against a transgender male will not be fair and put the girl at a disadvantage. This is common sense and just plain science. We believe everyone to be equal and no one should be harassed or abused but when your rights tramples on the rights of our girls, we have now become the victims. Please do not pass this legislation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It is also totally unfair for males to compete against females in any sport. It would make a farce of all female athletic competitions. It's not nice to try and fool Mother Nature. School authority should not trump parental authority on this subject. Ever. Thank you\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

How dare any school personnel attempt to teach, “advise,” or influence my children without my wife and I being aware of it. This type of over reach is not leadership and is not about the health and well being of transgender students. It appears, however, to be all about political gamesmanship and shameful attempt to consolidate electoral power on false premises.

Threatening parents with CPS intervention only further solidifies this as a statist agenda set out to  divide parents and children.  Quite obvious it is not about children’s welfare. If your Political affiliation is in support of reuniting families, why are you pushing an agenda to tear others apart?  No thanks.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My brother and his family have already had to move school districts because of the transphobic environment they found in their former community. This was a burden, but not every family is so privileged to have it as an option; for equity's sake, it is SO IMPORTANT that you provide statewide guidance to EVERY SCHOOL in support of evidence-based best practices for inclusion and support of trans and other queer students. To many of the other commenters who seem to be against the idea of supporting trans students, let me say from seeing it play out in my own family: if you think it is a burden on YOU to have trans people in your life... it's far harder to BE that trans person who apparently makes you so uncomfortable. Every student deserves love and acceptance for who they are! (Love all students -- I thought Virginia was for lovers?) I support this Guidance Document because I support all Virginia students!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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. This policy is \"anti-science\", totally ignoring the reality of basic DNA science and biology. Students should be treated with respect, protected from bullying, and taught scientific truth. Instead this policy would force them to to have their privacy, and educational and athletic opportunity destroyed in misguided and destructive ideological brainwashing. Unless this policy is significantly revised, it should be rejected.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Doesn’t this create more of a stigma for trans kids to overcome and make it harder to adjust to the social culture of school? What kind of character would a trans child in that environment develop? I imagine this would only embolden bullies to make the lives of trans kids harder when no one is looking. And how are you helping these kids by pitting them against their parents, the very people who brought them into the world and love them more than life itself (and certainly have their best interests at heart)? Frankly, it seems to me that by suggesting it would be necessary to take such extreme measures against teachers, you’re discriminating against trans kids by suggesting that they’re somehow weak and unable to stand up for themselves if needed, or more proactively to build a respectful relationship with a teacher. And by the way, aren’t teachers the heroes and the backbone of our school system? Mark my words: Should these guidelines pass, students and teachers will leave the VA public school system in droves and you will have an unprecedented crisis of your own making on your hands.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

She knew her persona was a girl starting very early, around age 3. However, she was not able to understand and verbalize it until a few years later. During that time she was not the happiest kid and just did not seem comfortable in her own skin. However, once she made the transition from being a boy a being a girl, she seemed to have found herself. She was so happy, cheerful and creative, everything that was already in her was able to come out and it was delightful to see. We all admire and love her so much just the way she is. And we care so proud of her: she was very brave and was able to recognize and pursue who she really is, something not all of us are able to do really. We are, at the same time, very concerned about possible difficulties, biases and prejudices that she might face throughout her life. All kids need our support in this life, but this is even more true for transgender kids. We as a society have the responsibility to try our best to fulfill the dreams of all kids. I support all guidance that recognize and implement transgender students’ rights and those that are written to create a healthy environment  for them at school. There is nothing weird/unnatural about being transgender and it’s about time everybody understands this. New generations should grow up knowing they’ll be accepted whatever gender form they choose to be and kids who do not change genders should know that they can have happy friendships with their transgender friends. Transgender kids are our kids and transgender rights are human rights.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This person had ALL of the surgery, psychiatric counseling and was taking hormones.  I disagree with the concept of someone being able to change their birth gender, however, if this fiction is to continue to be allowed then it seems to me that before someone is legally declared to be a member of the gender opposite their birth gender then they should have had all of the counseling, all of the surgery and be taking the appropriate hormones to at least achieve the appearance of a person of their desired gender.  It seems to me that anyone who has not had all of the surgery, counseling, taking hormones, etc. should NOT be regarded as a person of their desired gender and should NOT use facilities for persons of their birth gender.  If this fiction of being able to change one's gender is to continue then separate facilities for those who object to using the same facilities as transgender persons should be provided. I also think that our state and nation is getting into something very dangerous when our young people are taught that the truth is something which can be manipulated.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Boys use the boys bathrooms, and girls use the girls bathrooms.

How can the school tout as promoting a safe environment when you want to allow children to use any types of restroom facility regardless of their biological gender?  Have we forgotten the #metoo movement?  I stand against putting my children at risk. Unless the schools are willing to build single unisex restrooms then I oppose this. 2. Our ideology and faith should not be intervened by the schools.  We will raise our children and be accepting of them without the schools adding on to the confusion of a young child’s mind. 3. Sports shall remain separate for the biological gender students to avoid unfair disadvantages. Women have worked so hard to pave way for women’s sports let’s not take that away.  If we want to have a unisex team then create one and provide informed consent for those participating. 4. Schools shall allow ALL students to request for accommodations at the expense of the parents. Accommodations requires more of the taxpayers dollars and would only be fair if the parents of the requested child pays for it since not every children gets to benefit from this special policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Diversity (pgs 3-4) is lacking in the group that developed the model policies as evidenced by no representation from parental rights groups, family advocacy groups, faith-based higher education, the faith community and people no longer identifying as transgender. Only one parent representative was included. \"Our true identity, as male and female persons, is given by God.

Of the Virginia Bill of Rights in Section 2.  States that People are the source of power. That all power is vested in, and consequently derived from, the people, that magistrates are their trustees and servants, and at all times amenable to them. May we also remind oath takers that Section 3. states that government is instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the people. We, the People, did not give authority to government run schools to overstep and to assume authority over our children. Government was instituted for one purpose and one purpose alone, to safe guard the unalienable rights of the PEOPLE. Public Servants are elected to represent the PEOPLE. To pass legislation of this kind is a clear usurpation of power. It is not the job of government to parent the children of the PEOPLE. And ignorance of the LAW is no excuse. We, the People, are putting you on notice. Any PUBLIC SERVANT who votes in support of this bill will be in clear violation of their oath and will be held accountable. Teaching same-sex marriage and transgenderism at any stage is a bridge of parental right especially to those of faith that do not support these issues. This is a clear violation of the Virginia Constitution Article I. Bill of Rights Section 16. Free exercise of religion; no establishment of religion That religion or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and, therefore, all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity towards each other. No man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief; but all men shall be free to profess and by argument to maintain their opinions in matters of religion, and the same shall in nowise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities. And the General Assembly shall not prescribe any religious test whatever, or confer any peculiar privileges or advantages on any sect or denomination, or pass any law requiring or authorizing any religious society, or the people of any district within this Commonwealth, to levy on themselves or others, any tax for the erection or repair of any house of public worship, or for the support of any church or ministry; but it shall be left free to every person to select his religious instructor, and to make for his support such private contract as he shall please. It is also a violation of the Republic’s Constitutional First Amendment. It is also a clear violation of one of Virginia’s most fundamental legal documents, The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. This sort of teaching violates not only parental authority, but the right of children who are endowed by their Creator with the right to not be mentally molested or depraved with topics that would serve to destroy their innocence and which serves no real purpose. This is a guise. If schools truly wish to teach children kindness and equality, they can do so without having to give specifics about how some people feel that their genitalia doesn’t match what they feel. Transgenderism is a tricky topic for most adults to fully understand. Even among clinicians, there’s not universal concurrence that female brains sometimes actually develop in male bodies and vice versa. If adults, even medical professional have a difficult time grasping such topics, naturally, children will have an even harder time. However, that is a side note, that’s beside the point. The bottom line is that schools do not have the authority to parent the children of We, the People. To do so would be a violation of real laws and a complete usurping of power.

This is unconstitutional. It's criminal that you would willfully seek to violate the 1st, 9th, and 10th amendments and then wait for ill-informed and impoverished parents to sue the courts to overturn this law AFTER the damage has been inflicted. You know it's wrong to discriminate against a Christian, Muslim, or those of other religions who will sin before their deities if they accept or recognize all sexual behaviors/orientations. Be wise, because the tables could get turned REAL QUICK -- you don't want the right getting control and then forcing women to marry whoever impregnates them or forcing them to donate to churches against their conscience. It's wrong to knowingly allow a child to make SERIOUS life decisions and \"explorations\" without the knowledge or consent of his/her parents. All rights and authority belong to parents UNLESS the parents can be proven in court to be in criminal or incompetent. I'm not sure if your intentions are to willfully separate children from their parents and make them dependent on the state or if you're trying \"to do the right thing,\" but I implore you to look at what countries have done in similar situations and what the results were -- it was not good.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Surely no child or person should be maligned, however, this document seeks to destroy the family by inserting the state into matters it has no business being involved in. Parents routinely make choices for their children—what they eat, how much screen time they use, where they go, what they do. As developing human beings whose minds and bodies are still growing, children lack wisdom and need guidance. The problem here is that the state is assuming it and/or the child knows what’s best for each child—especially in a matter of profound importance—identity. Additionally, rules and guidelines are being proposed that would profoundly impact the entire student population. These principles ignore basic biological facts and place the emotions and feelings of a small minority over all other concerns. The door is open wide for abuse. The transgender movement as a whole requires one to divorce feelings from physical reality. Unfortunately, science has yet to make the fastest woman as fast as the fastest man, and no male transitioning to female has yet to menstruate and bear the possibility of pregnancy. Yet these guidelines and others like it are asking society to see the biological female as the same as the transgender one. These proposed principles are telling girls and boys that their only difference is one of psychological choice. If you’re the parent and you want to teach your child such—that’s one thing. To have the state insert itself and force such a philosophy is another matter. Where will the intrusion of the state into family matters stop? Hopefully here and now.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Stop trying to force these non-scientic ideas, these falsehoods, on parents and children who know this experiment is not truth.  To lead your children down a path to alter their bodies is horrific.

This treatment has made my peers fear for their safety and exacerbated depression and hopelessness among many. One particularly egregious incident involved one of my Virginia public high school teachers not only refusing to respect my classmate’s identity but making unprofessional and disparaging comments about them in front of the class, as well as refusing to provide instruction to them solely on the basis of their transgender status. No person should be subjected to this vile and traumatizing behavior from others, especially an adult in the public school system. There is no excuse for this type of behavior and these guidelines make that clear. Every student deserves respect, dignity, privacy, and freedom from discrimination. Transgender youth deserve this and more, to be not only tolerated but included and listened to.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My concerns are addressed not only to my home county of Loudoun, but to the whole Commonwealth of Virginia. The basis of the transgender policies that are the subject of this public-education institutional guidance document is that individual gender preference should take precedence over binary biological sex.  It should not, and ought not.  The policy is one of comprehensive repudiation of binary gender.  It attempts to contradict a fact of nature -- that the chromosomes, and all resulting gender characteristics of a person's body, determine the sex of a person. I am not accepting the redefinitions of what gender means or ought to mean that are promulgated by the ideology of transgenderism.  But the subject document does that and far more.  It presses for full-throttle indoctrination of children, on numerous levels, toward gender deconstruction.  Not just for young people who may question their sexual tendencies, but for all students walking into the classrooms of public schools.  And no doubt authors of this policy template would have such proposals go beyond public classrooms in the not-too-distant future. I call upon the government of the Commonwealth of Virginia to reject this and any similar program of transgender propaganda tools.  It represents \"progress\" in a dark, slick, downhill direction. I hope that affirmation of nature's gender identity will take its place, to the better mental and spiritual health and welfare of children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

You don't have to accept my opinion on the subject but if you have learned respect then you'll respect I have a different opinion.

All students have the right to learn in a safe place and these protections will help facilitate a positive learning environment for everyone. I have been an educator for over 25 years and I understand the responsibility we have to ensure that all of our students feel valued and affirmed.  When I worked at the middle school level, I was one of several educators who created and co-sponsored a Gay-Straight Alliance at our school.  I have vivid memories of students who came to the first meeting.  They entered the room with such enthusiasm and expressions of joy that there was a safe space for them to be their authentic selves. Students should have that feeling all of the time.  These protections are crucial to this effort.  If we truly believe that all students have the right to learn in a safe place then we must do everything we can to make this a reality.   Otherwise they are just empty words. All means all !

In reality, it is more  directed at addressing the transgender issue in a vacuum, exclusive of consideration of moral values, religious vales, and most importantly family values.  THE MOST CRITICAL component of moral value development is within the family unit and particularly within the role of parents.  Parental prerogative and authority are being dangerously trampled upon by this Guidance Policy.  Regardless of where an individual stands on the transgender in general, to \"deputize\" classroom teachers and/or other school staff to decide when OR if a parent is informed of THEIR child's transgender.  It also places teachers in a compromising position relative to their own respective religious consciences.  This is not a matter of children (student's) rights or protection or transgender.  This is about the public school system \"kidnapping\" children form their parents to allow free range decision making among children at ages and stages of maturity not appropriate to make responsible life changing decisions.  To the extent the child is receiving influence, it would be from the school in the absence of the parent.  To even use words like abuse or neglect is an affront to me as a parent.  Parental teaching of deeply seeded religious beliefs to their children in their home is the dominant \"right\" at risk of infringement from this policy guidance.    This public comment period is essentially a joke and insult to parents, as it was not distributed to local school boards, local schools or parents and communities at large.  Public awareness would be non-existent, if not promoted through action alerts of various family oriented organizations.  Such government agency operation in darkness is un-American and cultivates an atmosphere of distrust.  It is a despicable abuse of power and exaggerated government over-reach.  I vehemently and passionately oppose this Guidance Policy and consider it offensive and unconstitutional in violation of religious freedom.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This ideology forces children and parents to accept deviant sexual tendencies as \"normal\".  Rather than helping those few individuals deal with their sexuality issues, such policies exacerbate the incredible harm such abnormalities do to individuals so afflcted and to the larger society.   No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms when on a school trip 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--students who are gender-confused or who are uncomfortable in showering/using toilet facilities in the presence of students of the other biological sex should have recourse to private accomodations.\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 should focus on education and leave the raising of children to the family/parent/parents. The Virginia Department of Education should not be subsuming the role of parents to provide family values and define the rights of students. The State of Virginia should not be spending tax dollars to provide gender-based supplies (e.g., menstrual supplies, ref Model Policies for Treatment of Transgender Students, pg 17) at no cost. While it may provide statistical fodder in the Model Policies for Treatment of Transgender Students report (pg 9), how will any change in policy change the percentage of students with depression or difficulty sleeping? The Virginia Department of Education's proposed policies, while perhaps initially well-intentioned, have grave impact on our next generation as they continue to mature.  Do not disregard the role of parents.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

All kids should be secure in knowing that respect and safety are cornerstones of their school experience. Transgender kids have had precious little of that for too long. Those who try to deny transgender kids these rights, which they assume so automatically for their own children, would carelessly trample on the well-being of living, breathing, vulnerable, young people. They attempt to do so with a small edit to the dehumanizing arguments that they have used for so long to marginalize and attack African Americans, Jews, gays, foreigners of all persuasions, and hosts of others not like them. I'm not going to tell those people what it means to be them. I expect them to leave me and my children to exercise that same freedom ourselves, and to get out of the way as the teachers and administrators in Virginia's public schools work to create an environment where we are all free to do that.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six ” – that are 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. 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.

The proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six ” – that are 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. 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”.

Sex is determined by objective, physical criteria, not mental states. Mammals can’t change sex. Some doctors and scientists,  may go along with changing social or legal markers out of an attempt to be polite or ease suffering, to save their careers from the online mob, or to attract a new market in patients: but they’re never going to submit a peer-reviewed paper documenting a case in which a human being changes from male to female Nor will they submit a paper worrying over the pronouns of cows, or classifying any animal research subjects by sex on any basis other than the type of gamete they’d produce if they were healthy and reproductively active. Stop encouraging the idea that sex is a “social construct.” Stop claiming that the fact that sex exists is “white colonialism,” as though colonial-era Europeans were the only people who ever figured out how babies are made, and no one else knew until they showed up. This is nonsense on par with claiming that the Earth is flat and it makes everyone who repeats it sound ridiculous. Misuse of suicide statistics – In addition to basing claims of high suicide rates mainly on poorly designed surveys, trans leaders advance the idea that suicide risk is both a reason to immediately give in to their demands, and to immediately admit that the undefinable category of “transgender people” are the most oppressed of all. Suicide rates are related to a mix of cultural and socioeconomic factors, and prevention experts warn strongly against the counterfactual and simplistic attribution of self harm to any single cause. Not only that, but extensive data gathered over decades demonstrates that the phenomenon is not straightforwardly tied to oppression. If oppression were judged by that standard, white men would be the second most oppressed people in the US, after only Native American men, having a suicide rate more than twice as high as Hispanic, black, or Asian men, or women of any ethnic background. We implore you to invest some time becoming familiar with the guidelines issue by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention for developing responsible messaging about suicide, and learning to avoid the very real threat of spreading suicide contagion. As to coercive suicide threats — which LGBT leadership seems to have trained people to issue on behalf of themselves or others, often related to medical transition and compelled speech demands — many abused women remember this type of abuse for what it is: a tool of coercive control that will soon wear out its welcome as more people come to that realization. Cosmetic sterilization of healthy children – In the US, healthy 13-year-old girls are getting mastectomies, 14-year-old girls are getting deliberately thrown into menopause by their doctors, and 16-year-old boys are being chemically or surgically castrated. Many of these children will also face a lifetime of sexual immaturity, without the likelihood of ever experiencing mature desire or its satisfaction. For girls, in particular, this is being done without significant attention to the potential risks to cardiovascular health and life expectancy already known to be posed by ovarian failure before the age of 40. Survey data and past studies on gender dysphoria indicate that most of these children would otherwise have grown up to be same-sex attracted, and many more than expected are on the autism spectrum. Everywhere that early puberty blockers are being followed immediately by cross-sex hormones, children are being chemically sterilized, when the majority of them would have become comfortable with their bodies through the course of a natural puberty, and because of the mechanisms of puberty. Targeting LGB and autistic children for sterilization, and encouraging it as a way for these often marginalized or abused children to feel “normal,” is a eugenic crime against humanity. The world deserves better from all of you. Lesbian & gay erasure – Calling heterosexual men who enjoy dressing “as women” lesbians, or calling heterosexual women who’ve undergone extensive body modification gay men, is an erasure of the unique experience of being exclusively same-sex attracted. Stop calling straight people lesbians, or gay. Particularly, your guidelines will allow heterosexual men to represent themselves as lesbians, or be promoted as if they were lesbians and entitled to speak for women on that basis; this is homophobic and insulting to all women. Trans Ideology categorizes women and girls by degrading, dehumanizing names – Your guide lines will allow women to be called menstruators, bleeders, breeders, cervix havers, egg producers, uterus bearers, pregnant people, people with vaginas, non-prostate owners, non-men, vulva owners, front-hole havers, chestfeeders, or any other term that submerges our humanity into an anatomy lesson, for the sadistic purpose of telling us that our anatomy doesn’t matter to you. We are not “cis,” or “cisgender,” suggesting that we picked, or were allowed to pick, being female or being expected to conform to feminine sex stereotypes. We are women and girls, which are the proper terms for human females. Your guidelines will appropriate intersex language. Do not approve calling all women and girls AFAB, assigned female at birth, unless you’re using an intersex person’s terms for herself, or vice versa with using AMAB. You can’t identify into or out of having an intersex diagnosis, whereas only 0.02% of the population has a condition that makes it medically difficult to determine their sex, and it’s insulting to suggest otherwise. There is also no such thing as having an intersex condition of the mind. Mental traits or predispositions are not passed to children solely and automatically from mother to daughter, or from father to son, and sex is nowhere determined on the basis of such elusive mental traits.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These policies disregard the rights of the many, many students who would be negatively affected by these accommodations for the very, very few students in question. These policies particularly hurt girls and young women by creating opportunities for those of the opposite biological sex to victimize and abuse them in private settings, such as locker rooms, hotel rooms, and bathrooms.  Why on earth, in this political and cultural moment, would you open up avenues for this exploitation of and assault on women? Schools have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students. Students have the right to this privacy.  Parents have the right to demand the upholding of these rights for their children. Let me repeat this last point: The model regulations infringe upon the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children, protection of them from all harms -- bodily and psychologically are key here -- being paramount. Oppose these proposals immediately.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Kindness and inclusivity is on the rise and I appreciate that. These policies are way too extreme and give children who don’t know enough about the topic too much liberty. This is confusing and distressing for kids. There is science in child psychology to back this up. It also discriminates against anyone who has a religion that teaches God created them the way they were meant to be. My bet is that the number of religious families in the schools greatly outweigh the number of gender confused children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

DNA does not lie.  This transgender stuff is a sickness and not normal.  I oppose for the following reasons: The proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six ” – that are 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. 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.

From the proposed document: \"Regardless of the circumstances, the school should support the student’s need for privacy and not disclose a student’s gender identity to other students or parents.\" The school has the responsibility to inform parents of major changes to a child, whether injury, mental health decline, or any sort of new behaviors. Whether or not you agree with the idea of transgender theory, parents MUST be informed of such a large issue in the life of their child. Allowing schools and teachers to withhold the fact that a student is suffering from gender identity issues is serious, and will lead to delayed mental health treatment that is vital to the student. There is very little scientific fact regarding transgenderism except that almost all students affected by it have co-morbid psychiatric diagnoses. Schools and teachers do not \"know better\" than parents and cannot provide the adequate counseling needed in such situations. Thank you for your time, Lauren Schierer\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

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. 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 should not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible “gender transitions”.

I was lucky enough to attend a relatively accepting school, but I still attended every day in fear of discrimination. I stopped playing soccer, something I had done for 13 years, because I would have to petition the VHSL to even let me play on either team. I paid extra money to take gym online because of the intense amount of anxiety that surrounded locker room situations. I almost ran down hallways to the other side of the school every time I had to use the restroom so that I could use the only single stall bathroom. I lived in fear and anxiety. Sometimes it feels like I didn’t even attend high school or graduate at all. My transcripts and other documents that were sent to colleges had only my legal name in them. I had to petition my counseling office to even let me graduate under anything other than my legal name and then, when the  ceremony fell to administration after the virus, I was deadnamed at my own graduation. I want for transgender students in Virginia to not have to face the anxiety and disappointment I did during the years I was out as transgender at school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If a student considers his/her gender to be fluid, he/she could change it daily thus making it difficult to impossible for teachers and fellow students to keep up with \"preferred pronouns.\"  This is a serious concern if failure to do so means risking disciplinary action for \"harassment.\" The language regarding parental authority vs. school authority on this matter is very concerning. “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). Would encouraging one's child to embrace their biological sex/gender be construed as abuse or neglect?  Could a parent be reported for neglect for not providing a second wardrobe for a child who has decided to \"transition?\"  Likewise, the “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) raises concern.  If parental consent is required to excuse an absence or approve a field trip, it would seem negligent of the school system NOT to inform parents if their child was considering or exploring gender reassignment under the guidance of school counselors, health personnel, etc. If the guidelines are enacted as proposed, you WILL have students taking advantage of these policies to gain access to restrooms and locker rooms of the opposite sex; individual restrooms and individual changing stations in the locker rooms would become the only way to protect the safety and discretion of each student. “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). Lastly, 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. As a teacher and as a mother sending her children to public school, I oppose this draft of trans policies and advise that language revisions be made, parental information and consent policies be reconfigured, and consideration be given to protect religious liberties within the school system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As such, no child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex.  Without a doubt, 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.  Science shows that children, particularly adolescents, can experience hypersensitive and traumatic reactions to these situations.  It is abhorrent for schools to accommodate the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible “gender transitions”.  It is clear that these proposed regulations infringe on my First Amendment rights as a parent to raise and care for my children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While intended to protect privacy and dignity of those that do not consider themselves Male or Female according to their birth sex, it forgets to protect the privacy of those that do consider themselves Male or Female. How is the school going to protect the right of privacy and dignity of a girl when someone with male genitalia enters the locker, shower or restroom pretending to consider themselves a female? How is the school going to protect the cisgenders from emotional harm and depression when they constantly have to avoid entering lockers, showers, restrooms because of fear that someone believing to be the gender different from their biological sex? Parents have the duty to protect and educate their children and not the Dept of Education or the State or the Governor or the School board. The parents should be the only ones that make all decisions for their children. If you want to protect and not discriminate against religious views of the children, then you have to allow them to keep their believes even when they do not believe that genders are fluid. No bulling or harassment should be allowed from neither part. While we have to protect all children, do not discriminate one group for the benefits of the other.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Living in a false “reality” only leads to sadness, depression, and low self-esteem, and even suicide. Catering to the depraved state society has sunk to through the sexual revolution’s systematic rejection of truth has brought us to this point in history where gender is rendered meaningless.  As you already know in your heart of hearts a persons gender, either male or female, cannot be changed by thought, hormone “therapy” or surgery. Sexual abuse and immortality has become so acceptable, children are now actively being sexualized and groomed by adults to be objects, and not persons of infinite value, loved by God and created in His image and likeness. Schools should in no way support this mutilation and twisted distortion of the human person. Sexual activity is to be exclusively for the bond and union of husband and wife, the gift of children, and the stability of the family.  Outside of these parameters sexual activity brings disorder and disaster, disease, broken hearts, depression, loss of dignity and self-worth, and emotional emptiness in individuals. It causes social unrest and resentment, makes life seem meaninglessness and without purpose and leaves people emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually empty. Immorality in the sexual sphere has reduced sex to a recreational activity between two people, using each other for sexual gratification. The sexual target gets younger and younger, leaving children used, abused, and confused. Why are the schools supporting this? Why are you supporting this? You are harming children by promoting this travesty. Get back to truth. Come back to God. Only then will there be peace.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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 This policy goes beyond the roles of state government and infringes on the roles of parents in the lives of their own 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.

All children need our love and support. When transgender and gender creative children are forced to suppress who they are, it increases their rates of depression and can lead to a range of negative thoughts and behaviors, including suicide. We have the tools and knowledge we need to support young people: which is to listen to them, allow them to be themselves, and ensure an environment where they are free from discrimination and hate. When we support our transgender and gender creative kids, we create an environment that helps ALL kids flourish. It builds trust, mutual understanding, and celebration of the ways in which we are all different. These model policies should be adopted by public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

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. Students will be allowed 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 evidence to a teacher or administrator, making it impossible for teachers to comply with these policies. 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. 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. The requirements for schools to maintain gender-neutral dress code standards will cause disruptions and distractions, permitting boys to wear skirts and girls to go topless in activities where boys can – such as swimming activities or teams. 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 and sociology prevents them from being able to go along with the “transgender” ideology and policies. 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! 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.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This proposal, while well-intentioned by those who wrote it, contains significant danger to the mission of our schools to provide a nurturing and learning environment.  Our schools can provide positive learning environments and a quality education, but they should NEVER come in between the parents and their children.  This attempt to expand parental responsibility to become defined as something dangerous to children is a leftist extremist approach to control and has no business here.  I look at San Francisco CA, and this push is another symptom of an extreme view that will cause extreme damage.  Ask yourselves, is this the Fairfax School System, or the Democrat Leftist Lab for destroying families?  I know the answer.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is illogical, inappropriate and irresponsible. It would not only eradicate all distinctions between males and females, but this kind of immoral  indoctrination would also do irreparable damage to our children and our society. As I read this, I thought I was seeing the moral fiber of our nation being corrupted before my eyes. I seems like we have lost all consciousness of right and wrong in every aspect of our society.   Please allow me to summarize the main reasons I am against this proposal: Parental permission would not be required for their children to explore their gender and sexuality. This is unthinkable to put a child in this kind of perverted environment. Elimination of personal pronouns (he/she) would be required and violations would be subject to disciplinary action. How disgusting is this? Children can change their gender identity at will. We say follow the science in every other aspect of life, but not in this one. Science say you are born with either X or Y genetics. Biology does not lie. Parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex identity would be reported for child abuse. We were formed in the womb as male of female, and parents have the responsibility to nurture their children to become responsible men and women. Schools would be prohibited from notifying parents if a biological male wants use the same changing rooms designated for the girls. What if your daughter was a rape victim as a result of this kind of idiotic guideline? Boys and girls will be able to use any bathroom they wish. Privacy and decency will become a thing of the past. I would never expose my kids to that kind of environment. Gender neutral dress codes will be required. Girls being able to wear the same kind of swim suits as boys will be a disaster. Parents will not be notified that their child is being interrogated by school officials for alleged violations of these new rules. Get ready for the law suits on this one. There are no accommodations for a student of teacher of faith or conscience that would prevent them from compliance. This is a violation of the First Amendment. This proposal is reprehensible and should be trashed. MH\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

These measures will go a long way in supporting transgender students in Virginia schools, allowing them to pursue their education in schools that affirm their identity and don't harm their mental health. As the document points out, there are serious consequences such as increased rates of depression, suicide, and anxiety for transgender youth who are not supported. I have personal experience with this, as my sibling is transgender and did not feel that they could come out in high school and were very depressed. Additionally, I urge that the Department of Education work with VHSL and other athletics organizations to allows transgender students to participate in the athletics programs that align with their gender. I also support the inclusion of information about all kinds of gender and sexuality throughout the curriculum, including Family Life Education.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I know what is best for my child, not a school administrator in addition, if VA is teaching climate science and basic biology in classrooms, by ignoring the biological makeup of a child you are relinquishing  scientific fact.  Again, I don’t have a problem whether a child self identifies, but the school system, if adhering to all other principles of scientific fact like climate change, basic biology should not then be countering that by agreeing to a choice....that is not science, that is politics and emotion. In addition, if true that if I as a parent choose to have my child embrace their biological fact gender, that should be my choice......I should not be ‘reported’ to child services because of that.  You are relinquishing the role of a parent to the government.  I would be dead set against this if it it was based on politics, science, or any other item (like religion).  What if I wanted my child to embrace Judaism?  Should I then be reported to child services?  The role of a parent should not be abridged. Those are my major concerns....thanks\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I hold the safety and security of transgender and nonbinary youth very near and dear to me. I was a Virginia public school student, having spent the entirety of my life within the greater Richmond area. When I was in elementary, middle, and even high school, I did not know who I was. All of us in these formidable years are searching for the traits that will define us and who we are to become. For some, including myself, that searching involves questioning why we feel so out of place everywhere—including our own bodies. Most reading this, I am sure, would state this is a normal part of growing up. But how many of you have found yourselves gripping the bathroom counter, staring at yourself in the mirror, and not seeing yourself in your reflection? Maybe you see parts of yourself you do not like, but that is not to what I am referring. When I looked at myself in the mirror, all I saw was a stranger. The fear you have when you see an unfamiliar figure while fumbling for your car keys late at night in an unlit parking lot- that is the fear I felt when I looked at myself in the mirror. The body that was continuing to grow around me was not the body I knew in my soul to be. In middle and high school, when I had to use the girls’ locker room to get dressed for gym class, I was told that we could not use the bathroom stalls to change. Instead, we had to change in front of everyone. Changing in front of others, particularly in these formidable years, can be both a humiliating and humbling experience. For transgender and nonbinary youth, it is the moment that we fear the most. I can tell you for a fact if a gym teacher had given me the consideration of changing privately or even allowed me the ability to confide in them, it would have drastically changed my public school experience. I spent many of my early years in education, as many transgender and nonbinary youth do, being bullied, berated, and antagonized over my body. When I went home and looked at myself in the mirror, I was antagonized more. I do not look back on my years in public school fondly. Instead, I remember the fearful person who would not be able to fathom the man I have become today. I am the man I am because I have resisted and persisted through the discrimination I have had to face. No child should have to go through the pain, suffering, and self-doubt I had to work through. This policy would be the first steppingstone into ensuring no child ever feels like that again. It is shown educational growth cannot be fostered if students do not feel safe. The accommodation of transgender and nonbinary students does not directly harm any individual. There are many who may disagree with this idea, but the implementation of this policy does not directly threaten their life. We stand to lose much more by not implementing this policy. If no lawful consideration is given to these students who are only asking for the right to exist, how can you expect these students to feel safe enough to learn? According to the Trevor Project's 2020 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health 1 , “… more than half of transgender and nonbinary youth [have] seriously considered suicide.” I am a part of this statistic. I can say if this policy existed when I was in school, I would have been considerably less likely to consider suicide. In the same survey, “Transgender and nonbinary youth who reported having pronouns respected by all or most people in their lives attempted suicide at half the rate of those who did not have their pronouns respected.” As I mentioned previously with my experience, transgender and nonbinary youth constantly must shoulder the burden of bullying by peers, mentors, and superiors only to come home and continue that burden when they see that stranger in the mirror. It is a feeling that I admittedly find myself unable to describe any better, but it is a feeling all transgender and nonbinary people experience. The crude fact is you stand to lose nothing but your own pride should you allow the passing of this policy. If you decide your opinion matters more than the safety of Virginian students, you stand for perpetuating discrimination and pain in our education system. Do not allow any more transgender or nonbinary students to experience what I did in your schools. Do not allow them to feel so isolated that they believe their only option is to die. You can help stop this cycle of discrimination. You can help stop this cycle of pain. Pass the Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools. Thank you again for your time and consideration.

It will definitely create an unsafe school environment for young girls and encourage many puberty age students to mistakenly believe they have gender dysphoria.  The guidance permits students to have a \"gender of the day.\"  Talk about ridiculous!  Furthermore, school staff should not be a substitute for parents.  It's interesting that there are many instances of school administrators not reporting physical abuse by parents or sexual abuse by school staff.  But now school staff will always be Johnny on the Spot to report a parent who stands up for their rights.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

AND without a parent even knowing?  I don't understand how anyone thinks this is acceptable.  Instead of spending time on what 'pronoun' to be called, let's figure out how to make sure our kids aren't falling behind with all this virtual learning. In fact, theses policies are discriminatory and is child abuse.  It defies biological facts about the sexes and leaves children confused and unprotected...they are being encouraged to be confused.  This is a violation of my family's freedom of religion, it is indoctrinating my kids with ideas contrary to our religious beliefs.  If a child is experiencing sexual dysphoria, how about you show them love, grace and understanding, and inform the parents.  This policy further divides and segregates these young kids from their peers.  LET PARENTS RAISE their kids.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These policies defy natural law, science, and basic common sense. It is completely absurd and beyond comprehension that these are being considered for implementation by serious professionals. The State is attempting to usurp the rights of parents to raise their children in accordance with their own moral and faith values, especially when the majority, if not all of the children attending schools in Virginia are minors who lack the maturity to adequately discern and make the decisions being promoted by these proposed policies. This is nothing more than indoctrination of impressionable children who do not know better, not to mention the accusation of child abuse against parents who oppose these policies. Rather, the child abuse is being committed by the State by imposing these unnatural principles on innocent children who, as stated earlier, do not know better. I sincerely and strongly urge the responsible officials in the VDOE to cease  and desist in their efforts to pursue and impose these policies. It is a shame that taxpayers resources are being spent on this effort. The role of educators is to educate our children, not to indoctrinate them and take the role of their parents in their upbringing.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If it is a minor parents should definitely be informed what THEIR CHILD is doing at school.  How does freedom of religion fit in???  How does freedom of see how fit in???  They don’t if you happen to believe that none or few of these guidelines are valid.

Second, this reminds me of “Brave New World” or “1984” where parental experience and responsibility is surrendered to others - the school or the state. Societal norms, religion, and culture determine civilizations and when “anything goes” it portends the fall of civilization!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Every human being is due \"this respect\" regardless of any subjective differences.  The dignity of a human being is a \"given\" and is already affirmed in the Constitution.  A policy of this kind is in error and makes a \"right\" based on \"subjective\" opinion that ignores the \"universality\" of the truth of human dignity.  These policies fail to recognize their promoting further discrimination by \"dividing\" a  human person into \"subjective parts\".

I attended Fairfax County Public Schools for K-12 and teachers were always willing to address Michael as Mike or Katherine as Katie when asked because that is the proper way to treat children. This is no different. As a parent, I have had children attend several Virginia public school systems (Culpeper, Madison, Albemarle) and I would love to have these policies adopted while my children are still attending Virginia public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It opens the door to abuse by students who will play games with these 'rules'; gone are protections for girls in locker rooms, bathrooms, on sports teams, overnight field trips, etc, etc. These policies are completely baseless, absurd, unnecessary, and unenforceable.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are only two genders. To say that isn't so is meaningless, especially when no transgender advocate can specify exactly how many genders there are. If gender is a continuum, then male and female are meaningless distinctions and all the talk about sexism, discrimination against women etc is also bunk. By adoption these policies, you will reap irreparable harm on the very people you purport to help. The students with gender disphoria need counseling, not affirmation of their incorrect self-view. If you indeed believe that gender is self-determined, then why is your race also not similarly fluid and self-determined?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I will just mention a couple. Parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex would be at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect.  This completely flies in the face of our constitutional rights to practice our religion, the rights of parents to make decisions for their minor children, and that this whole issue flies in the face of biological science and DNA.  You are actually telling parents and God Himself that God, the perfect creator of the universe can make mistakes.  When you allow any boys and girls to use whatever locker rooms you are just asking for sexual harassment  especially of young girls, many who will be intimidated, fearful and hurt. You are not using common sense but rather allowing a small minority who need care, understanding and counseling to set the rules for everyone else and putting everyone at risk in several ways. Also, if you let biological males on female athletic teams it has been shown over and over you are very much discriminating against biological females because there IS a difference in physical makeup.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

One person’s “freedom” to choose endangers others who are stripped of that freedom by the nature of these rules/changes. There is no protection or provision for children to have the ability to go to the bathroom, change clothes , or have a safe/private space without the uncertainty/risk of someone with questionable motives present and abusing the freedom/choices being offered. Also as a parent, we need to be aware of our kids choices and actions, a school cannot take that responsibility away by saying they are “protecting” the students. As these rules stand now, I could not in good faith send my children to school in Virginia and would have to look elsewhere.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We do not hire the VDOE with our tax dollars to indoctrinate our children on cancel culture ideology and sexuality.  We hire them to educate our children in academics. These policies discriminate against victims of prior physical or sexual abuse by allowing the opposite gender to be present in changing rooms and bathrooms and punishes that victim if he/she protests, they discriminate against families of religious faith who teach their children a Torah, Bible, or Quran-based view of sexuality, they further confuse children at a time in their life when parents or a licensed therapist/counsellor of the parents' choosing should be guiding them.  Please do not adopt these guidelines.  Children and families will suffer because of it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

But now, I think that our society should simply accept that the identity issue has existed for years under different names, titles, etc. In general, just let our kids express themselves without fear of retribution from their peers or state and simply find that they are our future. Our children can pave the way to s brighter future if only they are not held back by antiquated norms (which in terms of race and gender) have not advanced us in ways we could have enjoyed. Let our students be free of the bounds that held back our greatest minds so we can enjoy their full potential. Godspeed and here's to the future.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We oppose these policies.\nBody:\nAs Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his dissent to the majority opinion of 14-556 Obergefell vs. Hodges on June 26, 2015 \"The majority expressly disclaims judicial “caution” and omits even a pretense of humility, openly relying on its desire to remake society according to its own “new insight” into the “nature of injustice.” Ante, at 11, 23. As a result, the Court invalidates the marriage laws of more than half the States and orders the transformation of a social institution that has formed the basis of human society for millennia, for the Kalahari Bushmen and the Han Chinese, the Carthaginians and the Aztecs. Just who do we think we are?\" Chief Justice was 100% correct. Who do we think we are to attempt to rewrite the social building block of the State of Virginia? In less than 5 years from this controversial court decision, our American society has rapidly declined as projected by the Chief Justice.   This decline is obvious by looking at the turmoil experienced within our nation just in 2020 alone.   The very fact that these laws are being presented is proof that we are we have surpassed the warning track of societal destruction.  We must swallow humble pie and reverse course immediately. Any form of governance that eradicates the HONOR of being named a father, mother, son, daughter, grandfather, grandmother, aunt or uncle and replaces it with the ambiguity of social constructs of the marginalized is DEMANDING the entire society to live as slaves .  As someone who works internationally, I strongly warn us to take heed.  By throwing away our constitutional freedom of speech  we will be rewarded with communism.     \"Give me liberty, or give me death!\"  God created family and God gave us the State of Virginia too.   Let's not lose either.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

You need look no further than some of the comments on this very page to see why protections against harassment, bullying, and discrimination are vitally necessary. Creating an environment where it is safe for children and teenagers to explore and express their gender identities during the formative years of their lives is so important to the development of healthy, happy adults. Building the mechanisms to respect and defend their identities saves lives. We can simultaneously protect LGBTQIA+ youth while helping their peers unlearn misguided fear and hatred so that for future generations, policies like these seem like mere common sense. Growing up, I had no such policies or support, and I grew up just thinking I was weird and wrong. It wasn't until I was nearly thirty that I began to figure out my own queer identity, and another five years or so until I became comfortable inhabiting that identity. I don't want to see my or my sister's children having to struggle so long to find themselves, if they do not fit in the gender they were assigned at birth or do not love the genders that they were told to love, just because the school system will not support them or protect them from reckless hate. I support trans youth, and I applaud all those who came together to research and develop these policies and put them forward for implementation. You are heroes.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Parental rights should be upheld. Children that are abused for any reason should be reported to CPS. But this document seems to convey that the school system has more authority than the parent in determining what is best for a child. I do not agree with this premise and therefore do not support that language in the document that can easily lead to a parent not being informed of a child's transgender struggles. I would like to see more evidence and research that clearly shows that not telling parents results in a child having reduced suicide, depression, and illicit drug use before it is codified as fact in a school policy. I also do not agree with the choice to leave gender status so non-definable and ambiguous. Even if it is a process for the transgender child, the process should not cause others undue chaos. Why does this policy determine that a school should not require particular substantive evidence including diagnosis or a set duration? Other accommodations (handicap, food allergies, religion) require someone to substantiate their need for accommodations both so that there can be order and so that accommodations are not taken advantage of. The school should be able to set guidelines for how a student proceeds to identify themselves as a gender other than their assigned sex. The process should include counselor input, medical doctor input, parental involvement and I believe a set duration of a persistent behavior. The policy to include inclusivity education specific to LGBTQ issues infringes on my right as a parent to educate my child when I feel is most appropriate and on what I feel they need to know. Parents will not be able to opt out of this education if it is infused throughout the curriculum (vs just in a FLE unit) as this document seems to propose. General education on bullying (caring about the feelings of everyone) does not necessitate the need for children to be overtly taught the definitions of the LGBTQ vocabulary nor do elementary children need to read books about Drag Queens and Transgender Boys or Girls. I do not agree with these topics being taught by the schools because it is someone else's belief in what is normal. Additionally, is there adequate evidence that such education does not increase harmful outcomes in students? I personally know staff that reported many many issues among the kindergarten children that were read \"I am Jazz\" in an Arlington elem school. Is there substantive evidence that such activities are harmless? There should be a strong body of evidence (like in medicine - the first law is to \"do no harm\") before it is prescribed and enforced across the board for all classes/ages/schools as this document seeks to do. I also do not support the school requiring LGBTQ education for all of its staff. This education is biased in that it is only one side of the facts. It often does not inform of the benefits of counseling a child in so labeled \"conversion therapy\". The curriculum is not vetted nor supported by strongly peer reviewed reproducible research, yet it is used as factual. There are no provisions for staff members and students to practice their own beliefs (which may be contrary to those in this document) in a protected manner.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I'm deeply concerned for the children of our State who identify as transgender - and I do not approve of many of the guildelines proposed in the \"Draft Policies\" and \"Recommended Standard.\" Both of these, based on radical social theories, eradicate valuable distinctions between male and female (1)(2)(3)(..and more), remove parents' protections for their own kids through reducing/denying communication to parents (4)(7)(8)(9), place undue burden on teachers and administrators, (5)(6) and try to remake basic social constructs that have been foundational building blocks of stable civilizations for milennia. Just like we value and protect race and ethiniciy -because it is given by God and is sacred, we need to value and protect sex/gender -because it is also given by God and is sacred. I'm deeply concerned that these draft policies not only erode the sacredness of an individual's sexuality, they go far beyond paving the way for ample opportunity to penalize those who do value it as an inate, biological reality and sacred. (10) Thank you for your consideration of my comments. (1) “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) (2) “School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.” (Recommended Standard, p.18) (3) “Students have a right to dress in a manner consistent with their gender identity or gender expression. Schools shall administer and enforce dress and grooming codes consistently across the student body, regardless of actual or perceived gender identity or gender expression.  Requirements for attire for school-related programs, activities, and events shall be gender-neutral.” (Draft Policy, p.16) (4) “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) (5) “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) (6) “Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence.” (Draft Policy, p.13) (7) “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) (8) “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) -Parents need to be notified AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL if there are alleged infractions to policies, not just if accusations of their child are unresolved at the school level. (9) “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)\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Denying an aspect of a student's identity as basic as their gender makes school a painful and potentially intolerable place -- leading to suicide, dropping out, or simply tuning out, which is a waste of human potential. As noted in the guidelines,  reporting a student's transgender status to parents can have dire consequences, including homelessness. Approaches like those described in the guidelines are the best chance for transgender students to remain successfully engaged in their education and avoid deep emotional harm. The guidelines do not unreasonably burden cisgender students; they simply allow transgender students to be themselves in the same school. Please stand firm in protecting transgender students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Yet when it comes to this, if a kid says they're a different gender (despite perhaps not even knowing what that means or the implications of it) the school is not only supposed to go along with or encourage the kid's thinking, but also hide it from his or her parents? The school district is opening itself up to so many lawsuits it'll be unbelievable. Look for property taxes to skyrocket to pay for all the damages and litigation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is clear that this bill was not properly thought through, many scenarios and opinions were not considered and covered for the safety of all children, families, educators and even families with transgender children. 1. LACK OF CONSENT This bill lacks parental consent! Parents MUST know all medication their children take, all mental and physical issues their children experience and all procedures at all times! This is critical in case of emergency and when parents make decisions for any treatment on behalf of their children outside of school to avoid any adverse reactions or complications. See page 12: \"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. \" School cannot hide from parents any medication or procedures administered to children! What this bill proposes is unacceptable, it did not consider this situation, even families supporting transgender kids should strongly oppose this bill. 2. SIDE EFFECTS Some of the medication or treatments that could possibly be provided carry short and/or long term mental and/or physical side effects, children should not be deciding to take them, they should not even be exposed to them or have them in their reach on school grounds.  Parents must always be informed at earliest time possible. Examples of medication or treatment: PrEP pill for HIV, hormonal or other treatments for gender conversion, anticonception and/or even abortion. 3. PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY Parents are best advocates for their own children, they know their children's health situation best and they can provide the most loving and compassionate approach. NOT school! Parents are also ultimately responsible for their kids' overall well being. Parents are also responsible for their kids' health insurance along with other expenses. This brings up another question: how would these services and medication be paid for if parents are not supposed to be aware? This is unacceptable! 4. REDUNDANCY There are already other bills put in place to protect transgender children (such as discrimination act or bill on conversion therapy (which prohibits correcting gender to that at birth!)), so part of this bill is redundant. 5. CONSCIOUSNESS This bill encroaches on freedom of expression and religious liberty. It collides and goes against consciousness of many families, especially religious ones. It dismisses feelings and believes of a much larger group of students, in favor of much smaller transgender community. 6. PREDATORS This bill will provide new avenues to exploit for child predators (it is important to note that many child predators start at young age, about 9-11 and many victims do not report any offenses until their adulthood). 7. FACILITIES Sharing bathrooms or locker rooms will put many children in uncomfortable and even dangerous situation. It is an impossible expectation to have a separate locker room or restroom for each child made available by the time this bill be enforced, therefore many children will end up compromising themselves in shared facilities. Many children will end up either viewing or being viewed undressed by the opposite sex. 8. OVERSEXUALIZATION This bill will distract and oversexualize children, it will destroy current privacy rules. \"Whenever schools provide sex-segregated activities such as physical education classes, students should be allowed to participate in a manner consistent with their gender identity.\" (on page 16) - does that mean that girl claiming to be a boy can attend soccer or swimming topless? 9. OPPOSITION There is a large number of parents and educators opposing this matter for years now. There are organizations such as Concerned Parents and Educators of Fairfax County, Parent And Child Org, The Family Foundation and other. Their opposition have been dismissed over the years and it has not been heard or considered when this bill was created.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Above all it is possible to treat children with dysphoria with dignity and love while maintaining the fought-for and necessary separate spaces for biological boys and girls. Sex is well-documented and sex-based differences are verifiable based on scientific observation and evidence regarding physical traits, hormonal differences, and behavior. The school has no place imposing a newly-thought up philosophical belief on children who are there to learn and who deserve safe spaces with members of their own sex.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This bill is a direct violation of those rights and is discriminatory as such against people of religious faith, parents, and any school staff members who disagree with this manifesto on moral grounds. No where in this bill do you affirm the rights of any of those groups to reject this indoctrination. This is a shameful and disgusting bill that seeks to make religious beliefs criminal and goes directly against the 1st amendment in the us constitution. similarly this is yet another unfunded mandate passed down by the state, on an already over burdened school system. You want to push your agenda and punish any who reject it but also want us to not support parental wishes including minors in elementary school and you further choose to hide any of this from parents who do not approve. School documents are legal documents, not documents that can be changed on a whim one day or the next bc you feel like a man or woman or nothing and want to change your name or gender. School documents need to reflect the students legal name and gender as given them at birth by their parents and determined by the physician.  You further want the schools to produce new documents for any student who graduated but now wants to be called something else, even if it’s not legally changed, you expect us to spend our time and money to reproduce diplomas and schools records with their new desired name. Come work in a school for one year and tell me we are not over worked, under staffed, and under paid, and discriminated against bc of our religious beliefs, it’s do this or be fired.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The recent ideas of the flexibility of one's gender identity are without sound scientific basis.  Because they are not based on a sound, easily verifiable scientific basis, the draft policies will produce a system that is easily exploited and impossible to administer fairly.\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.

There is proof that encouraging and promoting this idea that sex doesn’t matter and you can be whatever you want is harmful to individuals. Sex DOES matter. Men and women are different. They are different in beautiful ways and this should be celebrated. One is not better than the other and individuals cannot switch because they feel like they don’t fit in. No one feels like they fit in to their body. You have to grow and learn to appreciate it.  Bathrooms, locker rooms, classes, and groups designed limited to students of a certain sex in no way offends or diminishes the importance of the other. Instead, like different ethnic clubs, they allow people to be who they are in safe spaces. Treat the bullying, treat the unhealthy relationships students have with their own bodies, other students, and the world in general. It stems from a lack of love and acceptance on both the part of the individual and the group. Throw out this transgender agenda. It is only harmful.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

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.

Frankly, it's pretty much child abuse to make a child, who doesn't understand anything about this sort of stuff, doubt whether or not they even \"are what they think they are.\" They do not have the knowledge or the wisdom to make a good judgement on whether or not they \"feel like a man\" or \"feel like a woman,\" since their brain isn't even fully developed yet. There have also been many examples of transgender people changing their minds about \"what they are\" later in life and regretting having ever made sex-change surgeries or filling themselves with horomones of the opposite sex. These things have catastrophic effects on these peoples' health, and you should never expose a child to something like that. This whole set of policies is based on the idea that child transgenderism is legitimate, and that's just not true, so I can't support any part of this.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The school system has no right to invade personal privacy by asking sexual preference.  That is quite a perverse invasion by the school board. everyone has a birth certificate issued by a doctor or health department that the student should have registered with at entry to their first school year.  That does not change a year or ten years later.  It’s none of the school’s business what physical or mental condition a student is dealing with.  That student should seek medical care and the school should excuse absence for treatment. stop trying to address maladies that must be addressed by the proper professionals and dedicate school efforts towards education of students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are only 2 genders, male and female.  Girls should not have to be afraid using the bathroom or locker rooms by giving boys access to them.  You have completely ignored and refuse to give parents information about their child in school.  What happened to the school working with parents on issues, this policy completely cuts parents out of the decision making regarding their child.  The child is not the property of the state to do with what ever the state wants.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We must uphold the safety and bodily privacy of our students, and the parental rights of their parents. These are some of the problems I have with these policies: The proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six” – that are 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. 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.

It should be revised to do what the law requires and no more.  It is one thing to reinforce things like compliance with existing non-discrimination laws but to require school staff to use pronouns that are contrary to sex assigned at birth (and really at conception as we know from science) is to force them to lie.  And when the teachers are required to lie about one truth then where will the line be drawn?  Our schools must teach truth (and truth is immutable or it isn't truth) or we will become like the dystopian societies that we read about only in fiction.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These policies are necessary. These policies lay out how schools can prevent gender-based harassment or address it effectively to support and protect students if harassment occurs. These policies will help transgender students feel safe and respected at school, which is necessary for them to have equal access to education.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While I certainly appreciate the difficulties of students facing gender dysphoria the proposed policies are not fair to their teachers & fellow students nor to them. Students at this age are wont to change their minds (which is fair & normal) so teachers would readily find themselves unfairly charged with harassment on any given day. With respect to their fellow students, it is entirely inappropriate to be introducing this to the majority of students who will not suffer from gender dysphoria as a state wide mandate.  Most students are not concerned with nor interested in these matters and to introduce this to them is wrong at young ages.  I have known many students to be overwhelmed by the information at young ages and labeled as something they are not if they do not \"check the box\" as something once introduced. The proposed agenda is far ahead of the AMA standards for natural development and introduction of these issues.  Especially given that parents are not required to be informed first. Students who have wrestled with gender dysphoria have been violated by this type of well intentioned proposal.  Being too young to fully know their minds and bodies they have felt encouraged and emboldened by their academic institutions and have made dramatic decisions at impressionable ages to their disappointment & despair at adulthood.  If we tell our youth that their minds are not fully developed enough to handle drugs and alcohol until age 25 (see all VA Drivers Ed requirements) then why would we encourage them to take hormones and consider transitioning at such young ages?  We frown upon them drinking milk with hormones!? Finally, this challenges Women's Rights.  The transgender movement violates Title IX.  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 including athletics.  Scientific data has found and worldwide athletic organizations have concluded that no amount of hormone therapy evens the playing field for a male athlete who identifies as a female.  The Economist published articles throughout the Fall of 2020 to this effect, most recently: Liberalism and its contradictions (10/24/2020.)  \"Ending discrimination against one group of people should not depend on discriminating against another.\"  Look no further than states that have passed these initiatives and note the rate at which female athletic records have been claimed by male athletes identifying as women.  Our eldest daughter chases a 20 year track record at her high school that would undoubtedly be claimed by a mediocre male athlete within the year of this decision.  It is already frustrating enough to train with male athletes much less compete against them.  What are we telling our female athletes?  We will lose them. Please be very careful with our youth.  There are a myriad of ways to help ALL of our youth navigate the difficulties of coming of age, this proposal is not one of them.

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.

These rules force most students to give up their right of privacy, especially where the use of bathrooms, gym locker rooms and showers are concerned. Biological differences between male and female persons are scientifically undeniable. Boys who think they are transgender or female cannot be allowed to use girls facilities and conversely, girls who think they are transgender or male cannot be allowed to use boys facilities. Adolescents are impressionable and sensitive about their identity. Forcing them to accept transgender behavior and putting them in embarrassing situations that violate their privacy will cause confusion and psychological trauma. Teachers and school administrators should not be trying to enforce arbitrary rules that distract from their primary responsibilities to educate. Parents are responsible for raising their children to deal with societal situations. School personnel must not usurp the parents’ responsibilities. Students and parents risk being harassed, humiliated and punished because they uphold the universal truths of natural law recognized by the overwhelming majority of people in the world which recognize the fundamental differences between boys and girls, men and women. Biological differences are not arbitrary, they are a scientific fact. Anyone who thinks they are of a sex different from the one evidenced by their DNA and physical attributes need compassionate medical and emotional help to deal with their situation, not arbitrary rules forcing others to accept their situation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is going against the idea of free will. And unconstitutional. The fact of the matter is, the school board is forcing a new code, against the children and the parent's of the children. 1] parents can't raise their children. It should not concern the school how to raise other people's children. The school should concerns themselves with the subjects of school (math, science, history) the overall academic performance of the student. 2] The negligence of the school to not inform the parents of the student?! That's absurd, the parents should be the first to be informed. That's a stab in the back to parent's. How is the child suppose to form a healthy relationship with the parent, if the school is interfering? Overall the idea to introduce such atrocity is beyond comprehension. And the plan to put such idea into motion is not justifiable. The school has no right to invoke themselves into an delicate issue that shouldn't be there problem. Don't concern yourself with something that is not your problem.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Little girls may be scarred for life if a boy comes into their restroom and molests them or more. Parents know more about their children than teachers could ever know and should be aware of what is happening to their children by an overzealous teacher.  I know a boy who refused to wrestle against a girl because he knows better on how to treat girls with respect. Another friend's daughter cannot get an athletic scholarship to college because a boy claiming to be a girl has won all the races.  What has happened to Title 9 that we all fought so hard to get? In my own family, a boy raging with male hormones, then decided he was a girl, no, now he's a boy again, but the latest report was that he's not sure.  His mental and emotional change in development is driving him crazy. This is a cruel and torturous way to treat our children.  Stop it now.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They are a state overreach of power based on radical, unscientific theories that seek to eradicate all distinctions between male and female and treat our school-aged children as social experiments in sexuality. Rather than making children feel safe, these policies create chaos and confusion in the hearts and minds of children where none existed before. Additionally, these guidelines especially endanger girls, making them subject to possible abuse and/or harassment in bathrooms, locker rooms, etc., and also subject to biological inequities in sports competitions. Furthermore, the family is the most foundational and fundamental unit in society, and these policies only serve to destroy that family unit by undermining parental authority and involvement in their children’s lives. Unquestionably, the vast majority of parents love and care more about their own children than the state or anyone else ever will. What automatically qualifies the state to be more loving/caring/responsible in handling these crucial, life-altering matters than the parents themselves? This usurping of parental authority by the state sets a dangerous precedent for the abuse of public power in other arenas as well.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I recognize that transgender persons should be given the same rights as anyone else, but mixing people with different sexual organs in common places would be at the least very emotionally upsetting, and at the worst, possibly an occasion for violence against trans people.  In recent years many public buildings have added a third restroom, usually labeled \"Family\", but these also afford a way for trans people to use facilities without danger or discomfiting others.  I think we need this accommodation for sports and other facilities that may have male and female facilities.

Our government has the obligation to provide all children an equitable education.  No child should be made to feel unsafe or unwelcome simply because of their identity. I am not transgender, nor are my school-age children or other members of my family.  However, this issue is deeply personal to me as a person who cares about others and believes in the ideals of our state and country that all people should be treated equal. Our government has an obligation to protect and educate ALL children, not just those whose gender identity conforms with some Virginians concepts of what is \"normal.\"  No human being is harmed by another human being living as their true self. I urge you not only to ratify and release this Guidance Document but to make it abundantly clear that hate has no home in Virginia.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I agree with the need to continue to work to eliminate open hostility toward transgender individuals and affirm their ability to participant in all non-gender-specific activities (e.g. chorus). However, that a transgender individual with male anatomy would have the right, without being questioned/challenged to share the same undressing and showering space as my daughters some day seems like an outrageous intrusion on her privacy. This may be one of the more obvious difficulties with this guidance; however, there are several similar concerns. Additionally, the routine affirmation of the unsolidified identities can be very destructive to proper maturation and have extremely detrimental long-term impacts on youth. I think the very delicate/complicated work of identity exploration and solidification needs to be done in dialogue with the parents, with the assistance of experts as needed.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Some of the dangers are: 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. 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! 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. 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. Students will be allowed 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 evidence to a teacher or administrator, making it impossible for teachers to comply with these policies. 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. 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. The requirements for schools to maintain gender-neutral dress code standards will cause disruptions and distractions, permitting boys to wear skirts and girls to go topless in activities where boys can – such as swimming activities or teams. 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 and sociology prevents them from being able to go along with the “transgender” ideology and policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Confused children need time to grow up& understand more before adults condone.\nBody:\nThis legislation is totally pushed by an anti-family, anti-religious agenda. It's forcing teachers and schools, despite personal beliefs to support a radical, destructive idea that is not based in reality, science or anything reasonable, but is simply a rebellious teenage cry for attention. As a teacher and parent, the children that I have seen attempt to be gay, are only seeking the approval of peers and to be rebellious to the normal order of things. The children I've known who have pretended they were gay, have been redirected by parents to reality and returned to affirming the sex they are at birth, and in reality, always should be. Gay life is caused by abuse, not heredity, and should not have to be accommodated by teachers. In my younger days, children sought attention by growing long hair, the way to get attention now is by pretending to be gay or transgender. It is not a good life, gays die younger than the normal population, and the only transgender person I know was in prison, long term. Do not make schools support this aberrant behavior. They have plenty to do teaching and do not need this aggravation and all the problems it will cause.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These guidelines are based on the fundamentally flawed assumption that feelings trump the facts of DNA. These guidelines are simply and attempt to codify ultra-progressive dogma and use public education as its indoctrination tool.  The percentage of children legitimately experiencing gender dysphoria is incredibly low, less than 2%. To subject over 98% of a student population and their staff, teachers, and administrators to the rules proposed is a severe trampling of freedom, to say nothing of setting up educational authorities as the ultimate authority over that of parents responsible for the raising of their children. These rules will ensure that school systems will spend scarce time and resources on a radical social engineering concept that will adversely affect the actual learning that needs to take place in our public schools. I would not send my children to a public school where these rules were in place, nor would I teach in one of them. This is all bad social science run amok and further erode support of public education. Our public schools have an enormous challenge on their hands catching up with the effects of Covid-19 on the education of this generation and should have these added burdens laid on them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

One: it prevents parents from being parents to guide and advice and support and encourage their children if they are kept unaware of their in-school behavior and decisions.  Keeping parents uninformed of what and when sexual or gender material is taught and conversations are had only creates further discomfort for children to discuss personal desires with their parents.  Second: it prevents students from being allowed to voice discomfort if they are opposed to sharing dressing rooms, bathrooms, etc.  In an era where we are trying to give children voices over their bodies, these policies take away their voice and teach children that their comfort is less important than others.  I agree we need to prevent suicide, but taking away the voice of children and parents to be speak up for themselves is not the way.  Please I urge you do not continue with these policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

According to the document, the key guiding principle of the model policies is that all children have a right to learn, free from discrimination and harassment. The policies identified in the document do not increase this right for all children but do decrease for some children. House Bill 145 and Senate Bill 161, enacted by the 2020 Virginia General Assembly, required the model include \"evidence-based best practices\". The following sections contain no evidence that this model will support the key guiding principle: Student Privacy/Confidentiality, School Records, Dress Code, Access to Activities and Facilities. The one section with evidence does not indicate this model will increase the key guiding principle but will only \"lower\" self harm behavior. If enacted, this model will increase discrimination and harassment of groups of students. No evidence was presented that this model lowers discrimination and harassment for all students or increases the right to learn by all students. Before adopting this model, VDOE is encouraged to evaluate how this model will affect some students negatively.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This sets schools up for lawsuits. This Model Policy normalizes and mainstreams gender dysphoria in the name of political correctness.  Peer reviewed studies show that children at this age are very susceptible to peer pressure and to taking on the struggles of their peers including in the area of gender dysphoria.  (This article is an excellent example: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0202330 ).  School should be a place of structure and learning -- free from politically driven distractions -- not a place for questioning or exploring gender identity.  This policy was crafted to broadcast political correctness and not to work for any child's best interest.   Everyone agrees children should have a caring and kind school experience, but creating that type of environment is not what this policy was designed to do.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Every student absolutely deserves a safe, supportive learning environment, and to be treated with respect and dignity; accommodations for transgender and gender-expansive students are long overdue. I know of a number of people who would have benefited from such policies existing when I was growing up in Fairfax Co public schools. I’m saddened, though not very surprised, to see abounding ignorance and intolerance in the dissenting comments. People need to stop trying to use “science” (or rather, their gross misunderstanding of what it actually tells us) to justify their transphobia.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Regardless of your feelings on the issue, responsible legislators must protect the Commonwealth and its school districts from liability and be good stewards of taxpayer dollars and respectors of parental rights to make decisions for their minor children. Do not be confused by the demands of an incredibly well-funded minority who seek to eradicate those who disagree with their agenda. This heavy-handed policy does not meet the needs nor conform to the vision of Virginia held by the majority of taxpayers.

Love of teaching & love of all children!  Where did we go so wrong? I remember the joy my awkward but joyful son showed the first time he entered Glebe School.  I remember Mrs. Mountain who loved all the students & showed her love every day by her joy!  She did not have an agenda!  Unless you regard the desire to want All of her children to thrive.  She was kind & showed her joy & expertise to all children & included All The parents in every phase of their child's life. She knew, as we all did at that time, adult issues should remain adult issues until a child is able to understand those complicated issues. Teachers protected their children from harm both physically & mentally.  Parents & teachers & the Arlington School Board, most of the time, wanted their children to grow up to be well educated & caring individuals. That is their jobs in their individual capacity.   When my son  transferred to Drew SchooI I was amazed.  Every week there was children's choice & parents actively taught on those days.  Teachers had personal conferences with parents keeping parents abreast of every aspect of their child's life.  Parents were not the enemy.  They were the intricate part of their, yes, their child's life!  Mrs. Hu was a big influence on my son's life & I think in all the children 's life.  She was wonderful. Later my son graduated from HB Woodlawn & I think Arlington County Schools, their teachers & their programs, at the time, were a good influence on almost all children.  I am so very proud of my son.  He is a caring, hard working, intelligent individual who with the help of those teachers, is a wonderful man.  Where did lose our way?  Arlington County Schools, behind the parent's back, brought in an individual who addressed Adult issues to a Kindergarten class!  Unbelievable!  Arlington County Schools, want to take away the rights of the parents who bore their children.  They are the ones who remain their children 's guides through life, not the schools. They feed, cloth, educate at home & are their for them in times of joy as well as trouble.  I suppose any law that usurps the parents rights.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Until our society is ready to accept All Gender Bathrooms, trans people need access to bathrooms that align with their gender identity. The statistics do not support a notion that it is safer for everyone for individuals to use the bathroom that aligns with their assigned gender at birth. Now that you have considered using the bathroom, which is a minuscule part of your day, do you expend any energy avoiding aggression, perceived and real, as you perform your job or join an activity outside your home? My daughter has been chased in her vehicle; her former co-workers liked to remind her that she would be an ugly woman; strangers feel the need to ask personal questions about her anatomy and her healthcare. Imagine every day is groundhog day and you worry about the bathroom, about embarrassing comments and intrusive questions, about whether or not today will be the day when an acquaintance or random stranger will finally commit an act of violence against her. My daughter does not want special treatment. She wants the same protections that cisgender folks enjoy. She quit her part-time job because the small business where she worked advised her to \"ignore the haters.\" Instead of contributing to society, our daughter is now completing her studies online, cannot find a job, and constantly wonders if it will ever be OK to be her true self outside the safety of our home. There are so many incorrect assumptions about transgenderism: Our daughter comes from an intact home, where neither drugs nor alcohol is abused. Our daughter was not physically or mentally abused. Our daughter tried to \"fix\" herself for years, until the burden was too great and she surrendered to what she knows is true - her body does not match her personhood. Live and let live, please, my daughter's life depends on it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

For the sake of  those children who  identify as transgender, I cannot endorse many of the guildelines proposed in the \"Draft Policies\" and \"Recommended Standard.\"  Both of these, based on radical social theories, eradicate valuable distinctions between male and female (1)(2)(3)(..and more), remove parents' protections for their own kids through reducing/denying communication to parents (4)(7)(8)(9), place undue burden on teachers and administrators, (5)(6) and try to remake basic social constructs that have been foundational building blocks of stable civilizations for millennia. We have strong religious foundational beliefs, a freedom granted by our constitution. Just as  we have always valued and worked to protect race and ethiniciy,  a sacred trust given by God, so too have we worked to value and protect sex/gender -also given by God and is sacred. Many of these draft  policies not only erode the sacredness of an individual's sexuality, they go far beyond paving the way for ample opportunity to penalize those who do value it as an innate, biological reality and sacred. (10) It is not a small minority that we represent- but a very large portion of our state. To ignore our concerns is to ignore this population and literally overrule any representation or our concerns- simply because the current state legislation has a slim power margin. This is not the Virginia that we used to have whereby all had a voice to be heard and considered- not just a political power struggle. Thank you for hearing our concerns. (1) \"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) (2) \"School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.\" (Recommended Standard, p.18) (3) \"Students have a right to dress in a manner consistent with their gender identity or gender expression. Schools shall administer and enforce dress and grooming codes consistently across the student body, regardless of actual or perceived gender identity or gender expression.  Requirements for attire for school-related programs, activities, and events shall be gender-neutral.\" (Draft Policy, p.16) (4) \"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) (5) \"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) (6) \"Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence.\" (Draft Policy, p.13) (7) \"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) (8) \"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)  -Parents need to be notified AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL if there are allegid infractions to policies, not just if accusations of their child are unresolved at the school level. (9) \"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)\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We can't impose on our bodies our idea of what it should be. 3) The proposed policy changes would effectively ban thinking about the human body according to #1 and #2. 4) For many people, this is also a moral an faith-based issue, and to implement the proposed policies would be to say, \"If you disagree with our point of view (read: our beliefs), you will be penalized.\" This is tantamount to religious discrimination, and is unacceptable. 5) It is better to affirm the natural masculinity or femininity of a particular person, rather than to affirm the idea that something is wrong with the way his/her body is.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Getting a legal name change for a minor in Virginia can still be a difficult process depending on circumstances. Using someone's preferred name in school databases and on documents like report cards and progress reports would go a long way in schools being inclusive and helping kids protect their own privacy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

So instead of helping them you want to make sure that a girl/women can never win another event (the entire purpose of having a boy team and girl team is to give girls a chance to win as science dictates that boys are physically stronger and faster than girls). Also you are now going to make it unsafe for girls in locker rooms and showers, by letting a boy who can say any day that he fells like a girl. you are putting girls at risk and are taking the chance of ruining a young girls life by ensuring the chance that they will be abused. This madness has to stop. I bet you don't let boys in the same bath or shower as your daughter. lets put your daughter in the boys locker room first, then if that works out, lets talk. oh that's right, your daughter will be in private protected school!....get the mental kids help and stop trying to attack young girls. You are either born with a X or a Y chromosomes, that is the science. Also try to hide from a parent and then turn them in to social services for abuse if they don't think that there own kid is a biological boy or girl. You should be put in jail for even suggesting this. You do not parent my kids. teach them math, reading, and the real HISTORY! Leave the rest to parents, its their kids, not yours! If you want to mess your kids up then that's fine, but leave mine the hell alone.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The model policies read like ones drafted with little consideration other than a biased, one-sided narrative. Since these policies are not evidenced based and ignore studies and accounts (and now legal action) of those who suffered harm and who regret transition, they do not serve students who identify as transgender. The impact on the individuals who identify as the gender to which they were born and those who detransition is completely disregarded. Teachers who validly object face professional discipline. Objecting students face discipline. This is ABSURD that nand teachers who object face disciplinary action!  So Freedom of Speech only for some? Most concerning  is authority given to schools to interfere with and undermine parental prerogative. No one concerned for the welfare of children should champion these \"model\" policies. “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) Parents have the legal right, via the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA, 1974), Public School staff and faculty DO NOT have the legal authority to withhold information and/or knowingly HIDE information from parents. DO NOT approve the recommended standard, p12 as written as it is in violation of parental rights.  legal lawsuits may follow against schools for withholding info . There are SO many problems with these policies that I could continue on.  Do the RIGHT THING and OPPOSE.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Science and research have confirmed in various sources that following the kinds of guidelines you are proposing helps to support and enrich the lives of trans and gender non conforming children. We must not let willful ignorance and unfounded fears have a real impact on students and families who want their children to grow up in a supportive school environment. We know that trans and gender nonconforming students are in no way some kind of threat to other students. Flat out, ZERO evidence. It is your duty to make sure no pupils are left to suffer the consequences for someone else’s ignorance or “religious” choices. There are many schools in other states that we can look at for precedent that shows this in no way harms cisgendered pupils or their families.

Let's teach children not to bully anyone instead of forcing the concepts of a very small percentage of the population onto the other 99.9 percent. This is a form of reverse bullying. To mandate that my children and the rest of the population condone a concept (LGBTQ) which they believe is not right, is utterly deplorable. This policy is wrong and I pray that our general assembly and VDOE wakes up and sends the message that this is wrong.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It denies the obvious biology of male and female differences, in favor of personal whims, which can change daily. Allowing members of differing biologic genders in the same rest rooms creates great potential for sex abuse - and those who might enact this policy should rightly be held liable for any and all damages that result. It is a very small fraction of children who \"identify\" with the opposite gender, and almost all of them grow out of this identification with time.  For a policy to encourage them to pursue a lifestyle not in keeping with their biological makeup has far more potential for harm than for good. Teachers have far better things to do with their time than to respond to whatever each of their students wants to be called each day.  The policy places a huge potential burden on them. I will stop here, but it is an embarrassment that the state of Virginia is even considering such a socially harmful policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I specifically teach my graduate students (future school counselors) the importance of being an ally to students who identify as LGBTQ+, and we spend ample class time investigating strategies to build an inclusive school climate. I was very pleased to see the impressive advisory board used to create this policy, and that the policy statement is based on best practices, research, and organizations dedicated to serving and advocating for students who identify as LGBTQ+. As this policy statement discusses, there is a tremendous need to support students who are transgender, and I appreciate that this policy statement is a place to begin with our Virginia schools. Further, this policy appears to be in alignment with the ethical standards of the American School Counselor Association. Thus, I am in full support of this proposed policy. Thank you for your commitment serving students in Virginia, and for promoting a more equitable and inclusive school community. Sincerely, Emily Goodman-Scott, PhD Associate Professor of Counseling, Old Dominion University\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a former public school teacher, I recognize the need to protect and consider each and every student...but there should NOT be in place any rule/law/directive that outlines the favorable treatment for some that actually can endanger others. The transgender community may be on the rise in numbers and have been the victims of cruelty and misunderstanding--every student should feel as though the school environment is a place of safety and welcome, otherwise they will be unable to learn--but, have we considered the ultimate ramifications of such a countywide decision?? Rather than take the rare situation on a case-by-case basis, these broad brushstrokes painted across the landscape of teaching (which is already challenging enough) will make it virtually impossible for a teacher to navigate a minefield from day to day that should NOT be their primary concern (which is the well-rounded, successful imparting of knowledge and grasping of skills to their classroom)! If these premises were in place when I was teaching, I would have found it virtually impossible to NOT bring the law down on my own head, even inadvertently, as I would be greatly moved and troubled by other non-transgendered students feeling as though their privacy and rights to peace and safety in their learning environment were being trampled, ignored, and compromised!   Why, just the proposed bathroom and locker room situation ALONE would be enough to alarm anyone! Reflecting on my many years of teaching experience, I PLEAD you to consider the potential misuses of these edicts schoolwide! Elementary school children--who may seem the most innocent--will easily use the awkwardness of hearing a child claim varying gender changes of identification from day to day, correcting teachers for the misuse of a pronoun in reference to that student, etc., to either boost their advantage of wasting a teacher's precious classtime and/or target a child who may need extra attention or guidance in addressing their struggles or confusions. This only HIGHLIGHTS AND INCREASES the chances for abuse and misuse of the exact behavior we are trying to protect and care for! Middle and high school students (of which I have taught thousands!) are the most susceptible of all to capitalize on the opportunities these proposals set forth , potentially enabling (rather than discouraging) voyeurism in opposite sex bathrooms/locker rooms, indecency/immodesty in sporting situations (e.g., allowing for inappropriate dress and exposure), the easy opportunity to manipulate the system and \"trap\" a teacher into disciplinary action by the school system simply because they do not like a teacher--or his/her methods--or wish to delay testing or assignments, etc.! Elevating this issue in such fashion is a recipe for disaster and should be seen as actually HEIGHTENING THE DANGER for the vast & overwhelming majority (99%+) of non-transgendered children, rather than helping to increase sensitivity, safety, and protection for less than 1% of our student population! If approved, the precedent that these proposed measures will set is that ANY particular or unique case can raise more than awareness, but actually incite an entire school district to favor their situation, make new rules and restrictions (even upon penalty and punishment to those whose under-venerated, -appreciated, and -paid position is already challenging enough: our honorable teachers), and influence our county to make forced accommodations that profoundly affect the many in order to pacify the few. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THE FOLLY!!! There are ways of ensuring the oppressed and attacked are protected, considered, and nurtured alongside those who do not share such victimization WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE ENTIRE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL!!! To endanger the majority for the purpose of consideration and caring for a slim minority is FOOLISHNESS, and needs to be called so! There ought not be a need to create such \"laws\" or \"recommended guidelines\" (that, more than suggestions, may cost a hard-working & skilled educator their job now, but also ever-after!) to force people to abide by philosophies, alter behaviors, and embody attitudes that simply need to be taught, shaped, and guided as ANY SUBJECT A CHILD NEEDS TO LEARN IN SCHOOL...THAT'S WHY THE LAW MANDATES THAT THEY BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! SENSITIVITY & KINDNESS CANNOT BE FORCED...and, sadly, these proposals are all too easily abused and misused for personal gain, rather than to foster the heart they are meant to convert, from discriminating into accommodating and accepting. Although attention and care need to be given to this cross-section of our student body, the same could be said for those struggling with acceptance and accommodation for differences in appearance, custom, costume, hygiene, academic capability, religion, handicap,...the list could go on that targets a child for bullying and cruelty! Bullying of any nature (including hate speech, violence, ostracization & social exclusion, etc.) needs to be the subject under scrutiny, not the sex/gender issue over others! None should be tolerated in the least to ensure a safe, pleasant, inviting, and relaxing learning environment FOR EVERY STUDENT, regardless the issue for targeting!! Creating accommodations specific to one group like this IS ACTUALLY A FORM OF DISCRIMINATION IN ITSELF!!! One may not grasp this until the focus is widened to see how INSULTING it is to call out only this ONE group of targeted unkindness! It will not be long before other groups who feel victimized seek to create their own set of laws schoolwide and on and on until it has become impossible to both please everyone AND teach all content areas to a class at the same time! I URGE you to reconsider pushing this targeted agenda and, instead, institute countywide str... [truncated]\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

First off, every single parent SHOULD know about their child. Not notifying a parent about their child, especially in regards to gender issues, is absolutely wrong. Secondly, schools should be a place where children go to learn about things that will help them in life, NOT a place where teachers and faculty can affirm their gender identity, especially if the parents don't know. Third, I agree that we should respect EVERYBODY, including transgenders, but the fact that if you call somebody a different pronoun other than what they believe themselves to be and get in trouble for it is atrocious. Fourth, its complete destruction of privacy. No boy should be allowed to go in girls bathroom, and vice versa. That can easily make boys and girls who oppose extremely uncomfortable. Finally, it's a shame that there are no exemptions for people who hold religious beliefs about gender identity. Many people believe their are TWO genders, and calling anybody outside of their obvious gender violates their God-given convictions, and for people who hold those convictions to get in trouble is appalling. With that said, DO NOT allow these polices to take place. -Thank you-\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a father to several kids, boys and girls, I am deeply concerned with these potential policies.  Schools do not have the right to decide things for their students that their actual parents aren't allowing. And as they are public schools and subject to taxpayer dollars, they should not be allowed to withhold information from parents regarding their child at school ... at least not without justifiable cause. Honestly, some of the policy language is written way too broadly and can easily be interpreted extreme, so those proposing the policies should cite more specific examples of how these policies will be enacted. I do not see how children, as a whole, can really feel comfortable in school. While I think our schools have at times turned a blind eye to students who may be different (special needs at one point in time), this causes the pendulum to swing badly the other way.  My own kids have shared they would not feel comfortable to (say) walk into a restroom or a locker room and have to do what they need to do in the (potential) presence of boys, whether they feel like they are a boy or not. These policies are way too broad in how they can be interpreted and, in some cases, appear to intentionally keep parents out of the loop, which is inconceivable and wrong.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Some could very well use the new appropriations to take advantage of other classmates (in particular, those who are younger and/or more vulnerable and of a different sex). Allowing for shared bathrooms to be used freely by students of any sex automatically removes a certain amount of protection and opens more opportunities for sexual abuse. For example, an older teenage boy could use a temporary claim to a different sexual identity (being given the right to do so under protection of the new laws) only for the purpose of stalking a young girl in a bathroom. This is a path that will only lead to devastating results. As to the provisions that prohibit the school from sharing information on a student’s perceived sexual identity with the parents of that child - again, I ask for extreme caution. Are parents not given an innate role to lovingly protect and nurture their children, giving them what they need to grow into responsible, wholesome, mature adults that contribute positively to society? How are well-intentioned parents able to fulfill that role when the divide between parents and students is marked more deeply by students being taught to avoid going to their parents with their naturally sensitive questions about identity and self worth? Without a strong sense of family, children and young adults often struggle with identity and worth, turning to extremely unhealthy choices like drugs. Please do not make provisions that encourage deeper division and less protection. With respect and great concern, Heather Ryan\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Thank you for being public servants and truly seeking to make the best decisions for those living in your community. I know that the topic of transgender is a difficult one.  I also know that we need to have laws to protect everyone, even if we do not agree with others opinions.  That being said, I oppose  the law as the failure to use a students choice of pronoun, which can change on a daily or even hourly basis would result in charges of harassment or discrimination for which disciplinary action can then be taken. In order to protect our teachers and students from being disciplined for not knowing which pronoun a particular student would like to utilize in the moment, I encourage you to stand in opposition to this law. Thank you for your time. Holly Dodd\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

School was developed to teach the basic principles of education: Reading, Writing and Arithmetic.  Since when does the school board (teachers) need to concern themselves with teaching gender dysphoria and any other type of sexual education?  I understand teaching basic biology and touching on sexual abstinence, birth control, STD's.  However, teaching different practices that mainstream America is trying to popularize is just plain child abuse.  These children are much too young to be learning the scandalous ways of the world.  They are much to immature to understand and make sexual, gender changing decisions.  Accommodating the transgender community, without any sensitivity to the Christian community (students and faculty) is just wrong.  To bully, strong arm teachers to go along with this \"fad\" is inappropriate and against their rights. How about we just get back to teaching the core subjects and educate our children to succeed and be able to compete with global students for decent paying jobs?  They will have plenty of information available once they are adults, and mature enough to make such decisions. Please do not push for these policies.  Our children need us to be adults and make educated decisions based on their best interest.  Thank you\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Many of the comments that oppose the guidance are proving why this population of students needs support. I don't want any child to have to face this type of criticism and disrespect at school. Transgender and non-binary students are not infringing on anyone else's rights. They are only asking for basic dignity and respect while at school. If these students feel threatened or the environment at school is hostile, they cannot learn. When LGBTQ students are provided with affirming environments and their mental health is supported, their life outcomes are much better. Tolerance of differences and support for any marginalized student is the compassionate approach. Science and the medical community back up the need for a supportive approach. Tearing down our community members only weakens the entire community. Let us lift one another up. Be kind.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I never felt safe enough to be myself, I already faced bullying from peers and teachers for simply the way I acted. It would have been much worse if I was out. Due to this I often fell behind in school and many of my mental health issues worsened. Many times I chose to skip class altogether. I do not have to imagine how tough it is for kids who are out. I’ve spoken to them in trans support groups, they are incredibly frustrated and saddened that they feel that nothing can be done about the harassment and discrimination they face in school.

Transgender school policy.\nBody:\nParents are relinquishing their rights to parent while also allowing the left to dictate that you have the right to doctor assisted murder.  Which is it far left...abortion (right to choose) or parenting?  As for me and my household we will serve the Lord and raise our children to honor life and those that are born with difficulty.  Parents think they have the right to choose their child’s gender ...no kindergartener wants to be a different gender.  Only the selfish parent does.  But we all have to live with their inability to parent by submitting to cultural abuse.  Forget it!  You will lose the right to teach ( not that you are teaching anything of truth anymore). The Zinn facts are non facts.  Look into it!  You are adding stupid to the qualifications of being a teacher.  It isn’t their right to tell me how to parent.  I will no longer support the school system.  I will fight my taxes going to schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Our biological sex was determined by God, when He allowed conception to occur at a specific point in time and location, to create us to serve Him and each other with our lives.   Any attempts to alter His will and purposes for us are personally risky, with eternal consequences. But when governments attempt to institutionalize these personal relationship issues, it caters to the \"me-centered\" approach to our lives and society, which continues to disrupt our nation. The president we elected 60 years ago said,\" Let us not seek the Republican answer, or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix blame for the past.  Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.\"  If 300 million Americans continue adopting \"me-centered\" approaches to our lives, then there are no right answers and we will continually argue and fight over what we perceive to be right and wrong by our own imperfect standards with no moral compass.  And as we are seeing, our \"one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all\" will cease to exist.  The Bible says it much better in Proverbs 28:2, \"When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily.\"  Daily, we are seeing too much of this truth in our struggling United States.  The proposed transgender policy in Virginia education is another step in that direction.  There are better ways to show our love for \"me-centered\" people -- especially in the sexuality domain -- than enabling the confusion of the few to confuse the many.  In God we Trust.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The Department’s proposed policies would pit children and school staff against their parents when it comes to important questions about sex and gender identity. The proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six ” – that are 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. 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”.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I will begin my argument against these policies with noting that referring to people in non-binary terms and without respect to their biological gender goes against many religious peoples religious beliefs and practices. It is not only Christians of a more conservative stripe who will have an issue with this. More conservative Muslims and Jews will also take issue, not to mention Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons and many others. What protections are in place for them? Secondly, in Virginia one must be 18 to change their legal name. Citizens of the Virginia are not allowed to drive until they are 16 years and 3 months old. The minimum age for enlistment in the U.S. military is 17 years of age. One cannot consume alcohol or tobacco legally in VA unless they are 21 years of age.   You have to be 21 to rent a car. Did I mention that we cannot change our names till we are 18? Why then does it follow that children as young as five or six are ready for the great and life-altering responsibility of determining their gender identity and appropriate pronouns? Third, although students are prone to take advantage of any school policy (given their youthful lack of maturity), these policies will lead to stupendous abuses. The future manifestations of possible abuses seem almost infinite. For example: a 7th grader who dislikes her teacher thereby changing her pronoun every day only after being \"harrassed\" by the teacher for using yesterday's pronoun. Another example: an 11th grader who likes to see girls undress identifying as a girl so as to be in the girls locker room. Another example: a student who is fed up with their parents rules in the home purposefully begins to identify in a way that they know will get them out of the parents house forever. Yet another: a student is not clear with each and every student and teacher regarding their pronoun and then is back in the office every other day accusing people of gross harassment. Finally, many students may threaten to do drastic things (and in some cases carry them out) if they are not given the authority to choose their gender and pronouns. That is truly sad and tragic. Yet, although this may be hard to hear, that is not a sound way to determine if authority should be granted. My daughters, ages five and two, want the authority to make all kinds of decisions that are harmful to them. A good parent, I believe we all can agree, will not allow them to make and take action on those decisions - even if it leads to whining, complaining and even dire threats. I have no doubt that some who are proposing these policies do so from a sincere belief that it will lead to a more just school system. My question for you is: Who are the authorities that you are listening to and why are they so worthy of your trust? Why are you so persuaded by them? It is possible they are wrong. Why not take more time and create study committees before enacting these policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, the pervasiveness of the separation of gender from biological sex in learning areas and environments outlined in the guidance document will be detrimental to the learning environment. This will further encourage the growing division between families with the financial means to send their kids to private school and those who rely solely on public education. Already the effect of this division in socioeconomic class is apparent when considering the in-person learning environment offered by private schools during the pandemic versus the virtual learning environment offered by public schools. There is a real brain drain in the potential creativity and talent of future Virginian youth in the public education system. Those \"left behind\" in public schools are unfairly disadvantaged.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I guess they did not read where the bills state that policies MUST exist.  It seems that the opposing individuals are not necessarily opposed to the wording of the policies, which I think is the feedback being requested, but rather to the idea of LGBTQ+ individuals and their rights.  However, that ship has sailed!  All individuals have the right to attend school in a safe environment free from harassment and bullying.  That is all these policies do....make sure that students are free to be themselves without fear.   These policies ensure that students who are LBGTQ+ no longer face a hostile environment on a daily basis in their schools.  Public schools are inclusive places and should support everyone.  If you do not agree with this, then send your child to a private school.\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.

While I fully agree that any student should be treated respectfully, I absolutely do not approve of these proposed guidelines! They are a state overreach of power based on radical, unscientific theories thatseek to eradicate all distinctions between male and female and treat our school-aged children as social experiments in sexuality. Rather than making children feel safe, these policies create chaos and confusion in the hearts and minds of children. Additionally, these guidelines especially endanger girls, making them subject to possible abuse and/or harassment in bathrooms, locker rooms, etc., and also subject to biological inequities in sports competitions. Furthermore, the family is the most foundational and fundamental unit in society, and these policies only serve to destroy that family unit by undermining parental authority and involvement in their children’s lives. Unquestionably, the vast majority of parents love and care more about their own children than the state or anyone else ever will. What automatically qualifies the state to be more loving/caring/responsible in handling these crucial, life-altering matters than the parents themselves? This usurping of parental authority by the state sets a dangerous precedent for the abuse of public power in other arenas as well.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These opinions do not align with those of a vast number of our families as well as science, and have no proven grounds in actually supporting the mental health and wellbeing of our children. These efforts will absolutely keep me from enrolling my children in public schools, and I am deeply concerned for those families who are unable to seek other options like homeschooling or private school, which we will have to do. Specific points I have: 1) Most importantly, schools should not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible “gender transitions”. 2) The proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six” – that are 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. 3) No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex. 4) 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. 5) Children, particularly adolescents, can experience hypersensitive and traumatic reactions to these situations. 6) The model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children.

By allowing this policy we are presenting the option and awareness that it exist and possible in our society. With kids undeveloped minds we are pushing them in a  wrong direction and even if there are some possible cases, by creating the policy we enabling all kids to think and act to try new \"wrong\" things. We should treat this topic like \"alcohol\" and maybe allow experimentation with it when person has a more stable mind to make decisions (after 21 or 23 years old), and only after full mental evaluation. A full phycological evaluation is a must for all cases!!!. Do not allow kinds to do mistake that would ruin their lives for ever!!! In addition, there needs to be a absolute notification to parents from teachers if some transgender behavior happens. Schools and teachers are NOT responsible for kids but parents are.\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.

You're complicit in hurting these kids. Here's an article that sums it up: Why we oppose the normalization of transgenderism By Bryan Fischer November 22, 2014 Follow me on Twitter: @BryanJFischer , on Facebook at \"Focal Point\" The Scriptures tell us that one of the consequences for a nation that turns its back on God is \"confusion of mind\" (Deuteronomy 28:28). Nowhere is this more evident than in the tragic case of transgenderism. Having accepted the lies of \"that old deluder Satan\" that they are trapped inside the body of the wrong gender, many resort to hormone therapy and even sex reassignment surgery in a vain, dangerous and enormously destructive effort to obliterate their true sexual identity. In the civil code God gave to Moses on the mount, the normalization of transgenderism was flatly forbidden. \"A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God\" (Deuteronomy 22:5). Why would God be so insistent that his people not allow themselves to become so disordered in mind and soul that they begin to think of themselves and present themselves as members of the opposite sex? Is it because God hates transgenders? Do we oppose the normalization of transgenderism because we hate transgendered individuals? Absolutely not. We flatly and unequivocally oppose the normalization of transgenderism because it destroys people. We do not oppose transgenderism because we hate people. We oppose it because we love them. We do not want to see anyone's life ravaged by the pathologies that accompany this disorder of the mind and soul. Until 2012, the American Psychiatric Association classified transgenderism as a \"gender identity disorder.\" It has since relabeled it \"gender dysphoria\" in an effort to soften the stigma that properly should attach itself to this problematic lifestyle choice. But \"dysphoria\" means \"a profound state of unease or dissatisfaction,\" indicating changing terminology does not nothing to change a heart and a life wracked with a profound inner disturbance. Most Americans are blithely and blindly unaware of the mental, psychological and emotional devastation transgenderism wreaks on those who get trapped into this lifestyle. But the results are tragic. Transgender regret is now a sad and sorrowful reality in our cultural landscape. A survey conducted in 2010 by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force – neither of them members of the vast rightwing conspiracy – revealed the heartbreaking reality that a staggering 41 percent of transgendered American have attempted suicide. This is a rate more than 25 times higher than the population at large. Social research has revealed that 65% of all those who undergo cosmetic surgery live to regret it. How much higher must that figure be for those who have undergone genital mutilation? The homosexual lobby itself knows that there is something wrong with transgenderism. The Gay and Lesbian Medical Association – again, not a part of the evangelical pro-family movement – lists a number of pathologies that are so common among transgenders that the GLMA warns the transgender community about them. Among these pathologies are an increased risk for heart attacks and strokes, sexually transmitted diseases (they are at four times the risk of HIV/AIDS as the general population, for instance), substance abuse, depression and obesity. In other words, transgenderism is an enormously risky and unhealthy lifestyle. Stella Morabito has written a sobering column at the Federalist exposing the buried truth about the striking numbers of transgenders who regret going through sex reassignment surgery, finding in the end it didn't make them happier or more well-adjusted at all but left them instead shattered and broken in mind and body. Some of the most prominent transgenders in our culture have expressed such profound regret. Well-known transgender Alan Finch of Australia said this: \"[T]ranssexualism was invented by psychiatrists. . . .You fundamentally can't change sex ... the surgery doesn't alter you genetically. It's genital mutilation...It's all been a terrible misadventure. I've never been a woman, just Alan . . . the analogy I use about giving surgery to someone desperate to change sex is it's a bit like offering liposuction to an anorexic.\" Tennis champion Renee Richards was perhaps the most famous transgender of our time, undergoing sexual mutilation surgery in the 1970s. But in 1999, in Tennis Magazine, she said the following: \"I know deep down that I'm a second-class woman...As far as being fulfilled as a woman, I'm not as fulfilled as I dreamed of being. I get a lot of letters from people who are considering having this operation...and I discourage them all.\" Mike Penner, a sportswriter for the LA Times, famously outed himself in 2007 as a transgendered individual and overnight became Christine Daniels. He then transitioned back to becoming a male in 2008 and finally killed himself in 2009. So do we vigorously resist the normalization of transgenderism because we hate people? Hardly. It's the other way round. We resist it because we love people. We don't want to see anyone wind up profoundly regretting something they cannot undo and ending their own lives as a result. God knew what he was doing when he assigned each of us our gender at the moment of conception. And he stands ready to help any willing individual come to a place of resolution and acceptance of the gender God assigned him at the moment of conception. \"Confusion of mind\" can, with God's help, become clarity of mind.

Second, the transgender student used only unisex bathroom(s) provided at school and was exempted from physical education and extra-curricular sports activities.

This is not what we need. You’re going behind the parents backs while dealing with minors. You’re also putting children at risk. We are already dealing with sexual harassment and poor judgment we don’t need someone pretending to be a different gender to come into our bathrooms and locker rooms ( please work to making a separate bathroom so we can all choose which one to go in ) some of us wouldn’t feel comfortable with knowing some of our peers are lying about how they identify themselves just to get in the locker room. You can’t make rules like this and ignore the fact that it is a huge risk allowing 15-18 year olds together in unsupervised spaces like that. If kids are already finding a way to harass each other and/ or have sex in school then making it easier is not a good plan. Please adjust the rules. It should be a subject in school like learning to have safe sex and it should be able to be discussed safely in school but school should also be a safe place for everybody attending.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I graduated high school back in 2015 and I wish more polices like these were placed and implemented. Transgender students deserve to feel heard and safe at school. For some students, school is the only place where they feel safe. Kids can't learn well if they are constantly in fear of being who they are and expressing themselves. I believe if these policies were implemented, kids would feel safer, be more open and honest about their struggles, feel more supported, feel like they can talk to faculty, etc. We go to school not to just learn how to read and write - we go to school to learn about social issues, diversity, how to debate effectively, how to problem solve, etc. It is a place to learn, grow, and be exposed to differences.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia's Public Schools guidance document clearly lacked input from the faith community. This is a construction apart from God. Although changes were made at the Federal level years prior, it wasn't until Virginia's General Assembly majority changed last year that HB145 and SB161 was able to pass - and now look what we are facing. Why wasn't the faith community adequately heard and considered? They aren't listed in Acknowledgements or the Appendix. Why are there higher standards for reducing bias and harassment in the enforcement of any code of student conduct with respect to transgenders? All students should benefit from the same level of care and protection from bias and harassment. Parents have a right to know if their child is changing their gender status. This sets a dangerous example for the child for future life decisions. It will put undue mental and emotional stress as they will have to eventually disclose changes that have been made to their bodies. With regard to the last paragraph on page 14; this is another example of rewriting history. Please, involve the faith community and parents; and re-do this document. Parents need to know.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I agree that no student should be subjected to harassment due to their sexuality or gender.  However, issues with harassment can and should be dealt with without making the drastic changes proposed in this policy. The phrase \"sex assigned at birth\" is not scientific.  Each baby is born with biological sex; it is not \"assigned\" by anyone.  This new policy will only create confusion. Not everyone is in agreement with these ideas about gender.  There is no option for staff or students who disagree to opt out of these policies; they can be charged with harassment for not complying. Let's focus on creating safe, positive schools for all.  Please do not pass this change.  Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

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. Please do not approve these draft policies because they would severely undercut my involvement as a parent in the life of my children at school.  These policies will also endanger the bodily privacy of my children and the safety of all children.  The Virginia General Assembly must protect children! Thank you for your attention to this. Sincerely, Susan Bond\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The words “ ALL ” and “ EVERY ” are included in each statement. The following are just a few examples taken from missions/values/beliefs of public school districts across the state of Virginia dedicated to EVERY child. Being \"open to change and valuing differences\" (VA Beach) Viewing \"diversity as our strength\" (Fairfax) Recognition of \"each students individuality\" (Floyd) \"Every child, by name and by need to graduation\" (Lynchburg) Being \"an inclusive community that empowers\" (Arlington) Valuing \"physical safety and emotional well being\" (Montgomery) Dedication to \"success for all\" (Harrisonburg) \"Treating all individuals with dignity and respect\" (Albemarle) Now is the time to help every school district align to their mission statements/values and beliefs by ensuring that transgender and non-binary people are included in \"ALL\" and \"EVERY\" in our Virginia Public Schools. My past experience as a parent in the public school system was spent advocating for basic decency and best practices for gender expansive children in an elementary school setting. Some people may feel that some of what is included in the policy goes without saying. I can say from first hand experience, that the intentions and directions must be explicit. For example, in working with my child’s school I was asking that the school discontinue separating kids by binary gender for a class project and modify greetings by saying “good morning kids” instead of “good morning boys and girls.”  Despite my efforts to show the statistics that these types of gender affirming changes create space in the community and SAVE LIVES, the administration responded to this request with, “we cannot provide this direction and make these changes until there is a district policy.” Virginia public schools are asking for this explicit support and the Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia Public Schools provides thoughtful, comprehensive support for school districts and the families they proudly partner with. My opportunity to see, love and grow with my gender expansive child has been my life’s greatest gift. I have learned more about myself and the world we live in through them and can see the negative effects of the binary gender normative in our society. I often say, “you don’t know what you don’t know.” Before my child, I honestly did not know. I did not have the understanding that I do now. Creating space for gender diversity in our schools will benefit all people. I also live by, “the more you know, the better you can do.” We can all do better and The Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia Public Schools has been thoroughly reviewed and endorsed by psychologists, social workers, student representatives, and the Executive Directors from three of the leading LGBTQ+ support organizations in the state (Equality Virginia, Side By Side, and He She Ze & We), along with policy and education experts to help us ALL do better. I fully support the adoption of this policy because the more we know the better we can ALL do. Our school districts can become better aligned with their stated missions/visions and we can make space in our communities for everyone to be their authentic selves.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This alone is a reason that schools should affirm a child's gender identity, protect their privacy as needed, educate school staff, and provide appropriate accommodations to gender-expansive students. Schools have a responsibility to keep their students safe, both physically and mentally, during school hours and school activities. This bill goes a long way toward doing that, and I fully support it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Every child deserves protection from trauma and humiliation. And every child can learn to be accepting and kind to those who are different. But to force “acceptance” on children when it means causing them to see very private genitalia of the opposite sex, questioning their own ability to believe what they see, and causing more suffering to already troubled children is fair to no one—except, perhaps, the adults who want to see their own agenda promoted.” Young children, especially, should not have to endure the confusion which arises from policies such as this. The authority and influence of parents should absolutely not be undercut by the educational system simply to promote political agendas. The Virginia Department of Education should be focused on the academic needs of our children only.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Those who suffered from it were of course to be treated with compassion and understanding. But that didn't mean playing into the patient's disorder, i.e., telling a person with a man's organs that he was a female, and vice versa. In the last several years a vocal political minority has pushed transgender riots as the \"next frontier\" of the civil rights movement, even though no meaningful scientific evidence has arisen to overturn the medical consensus on gender dysphoria. At a time where politics often times seems to trump objective scientific truth, I think it is paramount that our educational establishment hold the line. Children in particular are among the most vulnerable in our society. With that in mind, I believe it's imperative that the State of Virginia and its Department of Education: 1) Seek to treat children with the mental illness of gender dysphoria. 2) Not confuse or traumatize young, impressionable children by normalizing transgender behavior with (i) multigender facilities (i.e., bathrooms, locker rooms) or (ii) pushing fringe third gender pronoun terminology. 3) Not force this latest fad of gender identity politics, which is not supported by the preponderance of current scientific evidence, on private educational institutions (e.g., private schools and religious schools) that do not share these views. I am simply a concerned citizen who believes truth and the good of society, especially its youngest members, should be promoted above politics.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My daughters should never be in a situation where they have to undress or be unclothed in the presence of a biological male, regardless of that male's decision that he is female.  They also never be required to view a biological male in the act of undressing or being unclothed.  The opposite is also true.  The indecent exposure law is still in force. This is simple common sense.  As long as restrooms exist in Virginia on public or private property for either a single sex or for use by one person or a parent and children, e.g., a recreation center or a private swim club, the indecent exposure laws should apply.  If the VA government is foolish enough to repeal those laws, we'll happily leave the state.\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.

Especially one view, \"That gender identity is considered an innate quality that most children declare by age five to six.\" Through endorsement of views like these that infringe on the First Amendment rights of parents, 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 and no child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a student of the opposite biological sex.  Children, particularly adolescents, can experience hypersensitive and traumatic reactions to these situations.  I STRONGLY OPPOSE THESE TRANSGENDER POLICIES PROPOSED BY THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The policy is overreaching, taking away the roles and responsibilities of parents and guardians.  It will cause greater confusion in students who already are dealing with so many confusing things in the culture.  If the policy is followed as proposed, it seems like a young man may end up seeing a young woman, who identifies as a man, topless.  I understand striving to promote equality, but the young men seeing young women topless will not equate to a proper environment for education or school athletics.  The rights and protection of all are endangered in this policy.  Not to mention, if a person may identify as a man one day and a woman the next, how will any in position of leadership be able to provide proper care and protection in such cases?  This policy needs significant work to accomplish what it is generally striving to accomplish.  I strongly oppose.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Studies have shown that affirming policies like the K-12 guidance reduce the risk of bullying, peer violence, harassment, suicidal thinking*. Transgender students deserve to feel supported and affirmed in educational spaces. They are then better equipped to learn, engage with peers, and positively contribute back into their communities. This guidance will help schools to provide the best learning environment possible for creating a truly equal Commonwealth. *Source: Russell S.T., Pollitt A.M., Li G., & Grossman A.H. (2018).

Dozens of girls were denied wins and notice by college recruitment because two boys said they were transgender. 2.Girls, especially those who have already suffered sexual abuse, could be very traumatized by boys in their personal space such as lockers, bathrooms, sleeping arrangements, etc. 3.Focusing in on the outward signs for transgender claims halts most other attempts to help students with transgender claims. 4.These policies would negate many of the positive benefits girls and women have striven to attain for the last fifty years while still not addressing many of the problems doctors and psychiatrists have documented that transgender people actually have.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents need to be aware of what is going on in their children's lives or they will not be able to help. Trans youth have a statistically higher risk of suicide. It is a very rare parent who would wish that for their child. Giving parents information to help their child instead of hiding the child's desires, mistakenly gives 'woke' writers of this bill that educators and administrators, many of whom do not have children themselves, are helping a kid that they see for a year instead of parents who have loved their child over a lifetime. Why aren't we encouraging children how to have actual conversations with their parents instead of lying (by omission) to the parents? Why would parents ever trust teachers again? All teachers I know tell me that dealing with parents is the worst part of their jobs. Is this somehow going to make those relationships better? In regards to punishing teachers for slip ups that could occur when addressing a child, has anyone of the sponsors actually been to a school? My best friend thirty years ago in high school would have switched genders every other day just to stick it to teachers. But I'm sure no child would do that today.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

They are absolutely abhorrent to our civilized society, not to mention in direct violation of our constitutional rights regarding religious beliefs. If adopted, and I fervently pray that our leaders do what is right and not what they think or feel is popular in today’s culture and dismiss these proposals, I will immediately withdraw my daughter from the system and my wife will most likely resign. These actions are crossing the line of what is not only scientifically and biologically established but in direct conflict with what my and millions of Virginians’ religious affiliations teach and abide by. Citing specific parts of these guidelines is futile because it is absolutely preposterous that any of them should be considered. There is no compromise without violating the 1st Ammendment of the U.S. Constitution of those of us who vehemently oppose these ridiculous measures. I implore you to do what is right and not force Virginians like my family to make the decision between leaving the teaching profession and withdrawing from public school or answer for complying on judgement day. THAT is the direction the VDOE is heading. Do what is right. Do what is noble. Do what is CONSTITUTIONAL and reject and/or dismiss implementation of these policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Based on thousands of interviews she documents the epidemic of young teenage girls suddenly exhibiting \"rapid onset gender dysphoria\" following intense social media immersion or as part of a friend group with other members suddenly claiming to be transgender, without previous signs of gender confusion. \"These are the same girls that would have been anorexic. They would have been bulimic. They are high anxiety, very precocious girls but they don't really fit in.\" Confused, lonely, misguided and vulnerable, they find that if they declare themselves to be transgender they see a big improvement in their social status. They are praised online, gain attention, new friends and their teachers hold them up as being courageous.  They can self-diagnose as transgender and get access through Planned Parenthood to testosterone. This begins a dangerous, life altering path. This \"craze\" needs to be discouraged, not encouraged in the school system by making it \"cool\" to be transgender.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

You and I both know the middle school/high school boys are going to put on skirts or whatever and go into the girls bathrooms just to create chaos.  They can’t be questioned you say (according to the new rules).  I come from a genetics background and know of all the variants that can occur that we also don’t know all the reason/causes this happens.  They exist all around us.  We’ve taught our children to love and be good to everyone because God loves everyone and has placed all people here for us to live with and be kind to.  We did not teach them that others would try to press an agenda on them so as to not allow them privacy they may want while they’re are in school. If a person presents as a girl/boy you treat them like a girl/boy.  They have entered the REAL world you have not entered theirs.  I’d think those poor children suffering would understand that above everybody.  They want to be normal ... or what they perceive as normal.  Men transitioning to women and taking over sports and venues because of the natural enhancement that comes with a male Y doesn’t sound fair to me.  The only fair way to address this is male sports, female sports, and all the rest in a group category of male to female and female to male.  That way all competition will be fair and equal which is what everyone wants.  The new rule makers are not seeing the forest for the trees. Maybe they should spend their time making “rules” for how parents should raise their children...or make it simple...bring God back into the schools instead of communists.  You all are reaping what you have sown.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It is beyond my comprehension how so-called educated leaders of our state and country can even have the gall to present this ludicrous policy!  This would not solve ANY issue, but it would create so many more, and only prove to make life so confusing for the children, but for some reason, you seem to think would be beneficial.  Your thinking is very flawed!  There are ONLY 2 GENDERS, male and female, and they were created by God, whether you believe in Him or not!  Human beings need to understand that they have no authority OR ability to change or create new genders. I say put yourself in the place of ANY ONE OF THESE CHILDREN and imagine how you would react and how you would handle the total confusion you are proposing to put them through.  Would you want to be faced with this?? As a citizen and a tax payer, I EXPECT SO MUCH MORE from our elected officials, so please use some common sense and BURN THIS PROPOSAL!!!!! The fact that the gender disphoria affects such a minor percentage of our population, how is it that you cannot focus on HELPING these children by proposing mental health help for them, and let the parents help their children through these trying times rather than shutting them out. I pray for those of  you in office to find some COMMON SENSE!!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I Support this Document.\nBody:\nAs a transgender educator based in Virginia, I have worked closely with transgender and gender non-conforming youth for the past six years, and I know quite well—better than many of the other commentators here—the many barriers that trans students currently face. Even in my own adult life, I have faced situations wherein people have refused to use my correct name or my pronouns. I have been mistreated when seeking services, including medical assistance. I have had to jump through many hoops in order to get access to the same basic protections and rights that so many cisgender Virginians enjoy. Transgender students in Virginia face these same challenges yet amplified even further by the circumstances of their age and their lack of agency in their educational settings. All of the model policies outlined in this guidance document are a step in the right direction: they provide clear guidance for school systems in how to create safe and supportive educational settings for transgender and gender non-conforming students. Title IX stipulates that a student's access to education cannot be limited on the basis of sex. To that end, we must act to protect the rights of students to be free from gender-based discrimination and harassment in our schools.

Much of what is introduced is scientifically questionable.  Suggesting that a genetic male is interchangeable with a genetic woman or vice versa is patently absurd and contrary to elementary school science. Studies show that adults who have received gender re-assignment surgery have exacerbated symptoms of depression and suicidal tendencies and regret their decision to have surgery.  Presenting this option to children in the guis of education is a sick form of abuse that should not be countenanced. Ultimately, girls will be the greatest victims of this bizarre re-ordering of reality, as they are forced to compete with boys on the athletic field and change with them in a locker room.  I really can't believe this is even being debated, and it shows how irrational and insane our society has become.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If enacted, these guidelines will endanger children’s cognitive and psychological development because they cause confusion about the reality of the human body and the meaning of sex.  The reality is that every human has either xx (female) or xy (male) chromosomes in every cell of the body, and the human being is a unity of mind and body.  Thus no one is ever “born in the wrong body.”  A mental decision does not change this reality.  It is not possible for a boy to become a girl or a girl to become a boy, despite what one might desire.  Gender dysphoria is condition that needs to be compassionately addressed with counseling by a therapist knowledgeable about this condition and its healing. It would be abusive to encourage children in a delusion that will be harmful to their healthy development and their future.  It is also harmful to other children who will be confused about the reality of their sexual body. Moreover, these guidelines violate parental rights.  Parents have the primary responsibility for raising their children and only delegate this responsibility secondarily to schools, yet these guidelines recommend keeping parents in the dark about their child’s delusional desires.  Children cannot know the consequences of decisions based on such desires.  Parents need to be informed and involved with the positive sexual development in their child and with any counseling provided. Teachers also have the right to be well-informed on these issues and not forced to adopt a gender ideology they don’t agree with.  Both teachers and parents may have religious principles that need to be respected and that would be violated by imposing a conflicting ideology.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is a known antidote to Gender Confusion. It is a medication known as Pimozide. We know that Abortion Clinic receive at least millions if not billions in Federal Money to give out life altering hormones which will alter a young person's body, again irreversibly.  However, generally it can be said that almost everyone is unaware that there is a medication which successfully treats the feelings of Gender Confusion prior, curing these confusing feelings certain children/young adult suffer with at different times in their lives. If schools are going to receive acknowledgement to allow Best-practices, Gender Transgender Policies, disseminating and educating people about Pimozide, as the first time treatment to permanently altering one's bodies, making them forever unable to be the person they were born, must be allowed. More than 50% of people who are Transgender, who commit suicide, do so just after they complete gender reassignment. Obviously, there is regret to their decision. Giving every option to going through this process and possibly having a typical family must be attempted. Please review the link with the medication at the top of the comment.

This should not be taught during school but at home by their parents however they feel as to rather they consider being transgender as normal and should be examined further or like my family that it is not normal and believe male's are males and females are females period. No muti-sex public restrooms, no letting males who identify as female take gym classes or other classes where clothes will be removed. I will never understand how this was ever even seriously taken as an issue especially to be a part of teaching at school. So, in today's society this is acceptable in todays schools but Prayer, teaching and reading the Bible is prohibited, you can no longer decorate your classrooms for Christmas or even wish others a Merry Christmas as it is now considered politically incorrect, which always seems to be listened to while Christians and our beliefs and traditions are no longer allowed in todays society and schools and you can surely tell by the wicked ways of today. So a great big no on this policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

These policies would create chaos in our school system and are not in the best interests of ALL our children. What about the rights of the children who are forced to visit the same bathroom as the opposite sex or the rights of the family to teach their own children about these delicate topics. The school system seems to want the families' support with helping the students manage their homework, etc., but then they want to take the rights of the family away with issues like this. It is scientific fact that human beings are born either male or female. If there was another option, we would see it at birth. Adding these policies to the school system would create more confusion and chaos on both sides of this issue than currently exists.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This agency may not yet understand that the U.K. has ruled that Doctors Have a Legal Duty to Protect Children in Gender Transition.  It is a matter of time before a similar ruling happens in the U.S., and will affect any such policy in Virginia.  Children deserve educator protection. A young woman in the United Kingdom (U.K.) has prevailed in her lawsuit that doctors should have protected her from her gender transition. Ms. Keira Bell, a 23-year-old woman who began taking puberty blockers when she was 16, was injected with testosterone at 17 and had a mastectomy aged 20, before 'detransitioning.'  She brought a law suit against the U.K.’s National Health Service gender clinic, arguing that she was too young and vulnerable to understand her circumstances, and that doctors should have challenged her transition. The Daily Mail reported that while Bell was cancelled by social media for her legal actions, the U.K. High Court found in her favor, holding that children under 16 cannot properly consent to their own gender transition.  See Ms. Bell’s post-judicial video , putting her own voice to her concerns about protecting vulnerable children. The Court held that children must understand “long-term consequences of treatment.” The judges said in their ruling: “It is highly unlikely that a child aged 13 or under would be competent to give consent to the administration of puberty blockers.”  It added, “It is doubtful that a child aged 14 or 15 could understand and weigh the long-term risks and consequences of the administration of puberty blockers.”  Hereafter doctors must seek court approval before prescribing puberty blockers. That protection is not in the policy. Legislators and educators concerned for vulnerable children understand this process of protecting children dealing with gender dysphoria is key to healthy children and families.  These new proposed policies should be opposed to protect children, and to avoid lawsuits like this one, against Virginia educators.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Gender-based policies stand in opposition to natural law and settled science. 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. 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.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy violates parental rights and undermines the parent-child relationship.  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!  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.”  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. In addition, 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. Finally, the requirements for schools to maintain gender-neutral dress code standards will cause disruptions and distractions, permitting boys to wear skirts and girls to go topless in activities where boys can – such as swimming activities or teams.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is a medication known as Pimozide and has been used for several decades. This dopamine antagonist should be discussed and offered as a first-line treatment for Gender Confusion as a comprehensive part of Best Practices for Public School Education. The medication's NIH Links is: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/pimozide#section=Other-Identifiers Having children begin Hormone Replacement/Blockers then battle the traumatic threshold of changing bathrooms/sport teams, etc, has been proven unnecessary, when offered Pimozide first. Further, taking opposite sex Hormones has been linked to serious health and psychological and educational dysfunction including: Loss of bone mass/Shorten Stature Liver damage/Risk of Liver Failure Reduced Brain Growth/Learning Disabilities/Lowered IQ If schools are going to receive acknowledgement to allow Best-practices, Gender Transgender Policies, disseminating and educating people about Pimozide, as the first-line treatment for children is the most reasonable approach. Children should not move directly into medications which will halt normal physiological and psychological function. Children should never move to Hormone replacements until they are over the age of Eighteen years old and make their own decisions due to the life-long negative impact on brain growth, and other physiological issues, leading to reduced long-term scholastic, educational and career goals. More than 50% of people who are Transgender, who commit suicide, do so after they complete gender reassignment. Obviously, there is remorse to their decision that everyone always agrees they tried to help manage prior to the suicide. Surviving Transgenders often state that they felt they were too far gone or, they believed they had passed the point of no-return because the Hormones drastically and typically permanently altered their bodies . Further, schools should never encourage the use of getting quick access to Hormones from Abortion Clinics, which are nearing street level assess of these hormones with little or no medical over-sight and medical management. Taking hormones require long-term observation and frequent lab testing, diagnostic testing and clinical evaluations to prevent injury or death. Moreover, it can be said that most people are unaware of Pimozide, despite being used to treat feelings of Gender Confusion for multiple decades. Therefore, schools must discuss the medication Pimozide first, as Best Practices, to any, and all students who have any belief that they have Gender Confusion before they are confronting the changing gender bathroom issues and sports teams, friend groups, clothes, hair cut, etc., and all of the increasing the disruptiveness students will experience which increase their overall stress at school and at home. Please review the link with the medication at the top of this comment. Thank you for your time.

As a former school administrator that worked directly with this population, I experienced the limitations of the existing protections and witnessed the discrimination faced by vulnerable students. Having clear guidance that is promoted by the students and families most negatively impacted by discrimination, will improve the lives of children, school staff, and community members. I urge you to support the VDOE guidance so that children can experience a healthier school environment more consistently across the state.

I am an advocate for the implementation of evidence-based policies that protect the mental and physical health of our students. I have worked with transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) youth and am aware of the unique barriers they face. Studies funded by the NIH have highlighted the lack of services for TGNC youth within public schools and have demonstrated an “urgent [need for] implementation of social and educational measures of gender identity support”. Transgender students do not have the same protections as cisgender students in Virginia and the policies outlined in this guidance document are a step in the right direction that provide clear guidance for school systems in how to create safe and supportive educational settings for TGNC youth. Please act to protect the rights of students to be free from gender-based discrimination and harassment in our schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

(me / myself / I)\nBody:\nI am submitting a negative comment regarding this draft guidance document. As a human being, and someone who is objectively professional I am offended by this document in many ways. Please do not have guidance on this topic. Instead, if there is too much pressure to address it - please address things as becoming co-ed. The simple use of parenthesis and pronouns after a person's name is not professional and offensive to me. I am aware that there is a positive spin on it where you are to let people know what you want to be called, however that entire idea is counter to so much of what we teach young people to make generalizations and develop a notion of patterns, opposites, and a variety of topics. When someone uses parenthesis, even in a document like this - it is full of bias. To me it shows that both the authors and reviewers of the document already accept transgender topics as morally acceptable, normal and are creating ways to fill a new chapter book in an English class. If we are to be accepting of everyone you also have to consider a large group of people that do not believe this is OK. Forcing everyone to be OK with everything will reduce enrollment (maybe that's the hidden purpose?). Beyond the formatting, the content strikes me as so strange and uncommon that I can't help but wonder why is this a public school issue please remove this topic from needing a guidance document.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

For the following reasons, the Conference opposed HB 145 and SB 161 during the 2020 Virginia General Assembly session and now urges the Department of Education to reject the proposed model regulations drafted in response to that legislation: 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. The model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children. Schools should not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible “gender transitions”. For a school system to facilitate a child’s, particularly a young child’s, “gender transition” is not leadership but rather irresponsibility. Role of parents Just as parents must give consent for over-the-counter medications, field trips and extracurricular activities, they have the constitutional right to guide the healthcare and education of their children. The U.S. Supreme Court has noted: 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. [1] Parents know their children better than anyone and have their best interests in mind. When children find themselves struggling with gender dysphoria, they need their parents’ support and counsel. Yet, t he Department has premised its regulations on a blanket endorsement of gender identity theory that diverges sharply from the views of many parents. In doing so, it has made a policy determination not referenced anywhere in the underlying legislation and therefore not delegated to it by the General Assembly; that unauthorized policy assumption 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). Alarmingly, the proposed regulations assert as fact that children declare their gender identity by kindergarten or first grade. Moreover, the document would virtually codify gender identity theory into statewide educational policy without acknowledging that there are undisputed scientific truths to the contrary. For example, neuroscientist and author Debra H. Soh, Ph.D. , has written, “Biological sex refers to whether we are female or male, based on our anatomy and reproductive functions. The concept of sex is, by definition, binary.” Dr. Stephen B. Levine, M.D. , a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, has testified that : Sex as defined by biology and reproductive function cannot be changed. While hormonal and surgical procedures may enable some individuals to \"pass\" as the opposite gender during some or all of their lives, such procedures carry with them physical, psychological, and social risks, and no procedures can enable an individual to perform the reproductive role of the opposite sex. The Department’s proposed policies would pit children against their parents when it comes to important questions about sex and gender identity: “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) Dr. Levine has also noted: For a child to live radically different identities at home and at school, and to conceal what he or she perceives to be his or her true identity from parents, is psychologically unhealthy in itself. The DOE proposal thus undercuts open and honest conversation between parents and their children. It also obstructs parents from active involvement in the life of their child at school. Moreover, 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 . Finally, the proposed regulations provide no accommodations for students and teachers whose sincerely and deeply held religious beliefs and understanding of matters of gender and human sexuality do not accord with the views underlying the proposed policies. The Conference, therefore, opposes the proposed “Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools.” [1] Pierce v. Society of Sisters , 268 U.S. 510 (1925).

Strong arming, intimidating, retribution of children, parents, and teachers to comply could result with this kind of policy.  Elevating one group over another only makes things worse. Government and NGO's have no right to force any child to disrobe in bathrooms and gym lockers rooms with the opposite DNA sex.  A right to privacy is paramount.  Transgenders already have the choice to use handicap or teachers bathrooms for their needs.  Forcing the world to accept a false presentation of one's real DNA sex is unnatural.  Forcing it to be normal is a disservice to all.  Embracing one's born gender, for a few, may be difficult to reconcile but that is why we have medical people who can help. Government and NGO's should never infringe upon parent's rights and responsibilities, and never circumvent the parent.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Unfortunately, the need for policies to PROTECT children are needed in the school system. All children that attend public school should be protected against discrimination of any kind. Additionally, it is the job of the public school system to put policies in place to maintain safety for any persons who enter the school building. Plus, it is the job of the teachers to provide a safe learning environment for their students while educating them through the avenues of life especially those subjects surrounding social justice and rights for ALL citizens. Lastly, I want to note that the family life education curriculum which falls under the Health Education federal laws allows families to opt-out of instruction based on their personal beliefs which is already in place to identify the wants/needs of different family dynamics which provides a pathway for those who do not agree with the instructional materials. By doing so, this provides both sides of the argument to be recognized in a safe and fair manner. Therefore, putting the policies in place will help aid the success of the public schools by providing a free and appropriate education to all students under the federal law.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The premise is wrong at its inception. First, males and females are different. No amount of policymaking will change that; no amount of brainwashing or indoctrination will remove those distinctions. Second, emphasizing sex in any way detracts from a child's ability to concentrate on his/her education. Public schools should be focusing on teaching children reading, writing, mathematics, history, geography, science, music, art, and vocational and social skills that will give them the ability to set goals for their future, get good jobs, establish homes, and become productive members of their community. I am not insensitive to the psychological aspects and problems of \"transgenderism\"; I am saying it is overemphasized, which causes more harm to such a student because that becomes his or her overarching motivator. Constant discussion of sexual matters causes a child to focus on his/her biological functions, hormones, emotions, etc., not on learning. Sex is not the most important topic in the real world. It is only being emphasized by a small but vocal group of people. The idea that the English language has to be changed because of a child's preferences is actually tyranny. No person deserves such special treatment--a \"transgender\" person is no more or less valuable than any other person, and has no right to be singled out specifically because he or she decides he or she does not want to be he or she. And no teacher or student ought to be disciplined, reprimanded, intimidated, or otherwise targeted for misusing a pronoun. If children were taught proper respect, common courtesy, politeness, manners, and civility instead of politically correct propaganda, the issues of harassment and discrimination would be moot. Gender identity is a divisive \"hot topic\" that wastes time, money, and emotional energy; it strains civility, and insults common sense. Ultimately, how it is dealt with can ruin a person's life. It should not be central to a classroom environment. It is a personal issue to be handled by a child and his/her parents or guardians. How parents choose to address this issue is their prerogative and responsibility, and they need to be respected. Let the school stick to educating children so they can compete with children from other nations in math and science. Let them learn to communicate their ideas intelligently, and learn to read, comprehend and think critically. Teach them to live as civilized members of a community who consider others first; not isolated, navel-gazing, narcissists who can't function without thinking about what gender they are. The majority of the students have rights too, and they have biological features that show they are male or female. They should have restrooms and locker rooms that respect their identity. If a student wants to be something other than his or her biological sex, and the school administration feels the need to accommodate that desire, that student can use the faculty's facilities. There are many other points to be made in opposition to these proposed policies. Suffice it to say that the infringement on parental rights, interference in family responsibilities and relationships, keeping information from parents, overemphasis on sexuality, spurious discipline of students and faculty, psychological and emotional damage to a student caused by constantly being singled out for special treatment, lack of accommodation and/or exceptions for religious beliefs of all students, parents, and teachers, and violation of the privacy rights of the majority of students are reasons enough for my opposition. Thank you for reading and considering my opinions.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Rather than helping the few individuals with confused ideas about gender, this policy is bent on blowing a small situation into a totally outsized problem and thrusting it into the lives of the vast majority of children who should be allowed to grow up with an innocence of these radical, flawed ideas.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We need to move the country forward on bringing equity to all students.\nBody:\nI want to make sure that I am clear on my support for the VDOE policy that has been put forth entitled “Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools.” This is something that should not have taken so long to be done and should be fully supported. There are several benefits to this document (Linked below) that held students that are dealing with many different issues. No matter the student’s course in life, this should be a fun time and one that they can reflect on positively. The time has come for society to accept that this is normal. Continuing to have bias and warped sense of right and wrong should not longer be accepted. I have read several of the comments on the document and I am appalled that people are being so negative about this issue. There are students everyday that are dealing with issues and those kids need to feel that they have protections too. Most of the comments come from people claiming to be Christian, but they are not caring nor compassionate with everyone. Instead, they are showing how little they know of Jesus who accepted anyone that wanted to be in his presence. We should strive to be more inclusive. Not less inclusive. I fully support this as policies that should be implemented and approved to improve the lives of our students. https://www.facebook.com/MPTelkamp/posts/247776963424214\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In our Catholic institutions, we teach the children to love the sinner and hate the sin, and that every man and woman is a child of God and deserves to be treated with that such dignity and respect.  This in itself is all-inclusive language that does not discriminate against any person or ideal.  What is being proposed is that we deviate from that teaching and mention specifics that are not always age-appropriate, nor biologically factual.  The idea that there are more than two genders is absolute lunacy because there--in fact--not.  Having educators teach something that is contrary to both their faith, as well as against scientific study, is hazardous to their young minds.  We vehemently oppose teaching any such content to children the same way we oppose teaching them that 2 plus 2 equals 6: we can say that it is 6 and even convince millions of people to agree with us, but ultimately, 2 plus 2 is always going to equal 4. Our Catholic Schools are not releasing bigots into our society as adults.  We are releasing God-loving, and God-fearing men and women of all races and ethnicities.  This indicates that our institutions are doing well, and are not coming out ignorant, but rather well-tempered, and civil to those with whom we disagree. Our faith has been disallowed in the public school system for a reason. Please do not force your beliefs into our school system, as such an act would be an abuse of power, hypocritical, and heartbreaking on a multitude of levels. I continue to pray for our leaders at both the local and national level, that they reshift their focus back to the reparation of our country from within.  Our nation cannot be healed until our hearts are healed, and healing begins in the HOME.  Please revert back to encouraging abstinence in our schools, and WHY we teach kids that pre-marital sex is an unwise and selfish decision.  Teach young men of all races to act that way, and court young women with intent to wed, not bed.  The divorce rate in this country is skyrocketing, yet the birth rate is not subsiding.  This means that many of these youngsters are going to grow up without their mom and their dad living in the same home.  Ever statistic suggests that their is a strong correlation between the level of success one attains in life, and the type of family structure they had growing up.  Family is ahead of economic status, color, sex, orientation, etc. I appreciate you allowing myself and others to weigh in.

The proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six ” – are far different from those of many parents including my own. 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.

History of World Arts would not hurt young inquisitive minds also. As a minimum, all teachers must have Master degree in the subject they teach, e.g. Physics is to be taught by physicists, Chemistry - by chemists, etc. Ph. D. level is preferred. A strong academic focus in VA schools shall leave no time, energy and, as a result, any desire on part of any educational system overhead committees for discussing anything unrelated to the core function of the system educating the future of our country.

It is the job of the parents to guide the social, gender, religious and natural development of their children, not the school.  It is completely unacceptable to propose that a school knows better and should encourage development of a child's sexuality without the parents' consent.  This is a huge over reach of government upon the rights of parents to raise their children according to their believes instead of those of politicians who wish to use schools as locations to explore their social agendas.  If a parent wishes to support their child through a gender transition, that is their choice as the care givers of that child.  It is not the choice or right of a school.  And if the parent does not believe such a transition, which has been shown in study after study to be harmful at younger ages, they have the right to protect their children from that.  This is bad policy and must be rejected.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The absurdity of the topic and the details that followed were almost numbing. Do you realize that the United States' school children are singled out to be tested by English schools in Scandinavian countries for meeting their respective countries standards? It means that simply showing your grades does not automatically translates into similar academic attainments of their peers in those countries and therefor does not open doors to schools in Norway and Finland. Americans are way behind and below. to be clear, on average, American children get education inferior to that of their peers in public schools in those countries. Does it bother anybody?  And we are discussing body parts, sexual orientation and sexual flavor of the day, while removing parents from even knowing what American schools drag our children into? This is not evil, this is criminal. I became braver after reading what others had to say. I strongly encourage American educators - and many of them are on the right side of the discussion here - to focus on what schools are created for - educating our children, while respectfully resolving very rare instances of deviation of the norm in private. That would serve the country well.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

At this point, there can be no doubt that trans kids in supportive environments live better lives than in unsupportive environments. Give them the support they so desperately need.

School administrators and educators would then be able to address any student by the name chosen at the beginning of the year WITH the parents' knowledge and consent. This addresses a perceived problem without attacking the remaining majority.\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. Schools should not be accommodating the especially 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.

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: 89426\nTitle: Not workable\nBody:\nFailure 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. “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) “A school administrator may need to direct school staff to abide by the wishes of a student on their asserted name and pronoun. A school employee’s intentional and persistent refusal to respect a student’s asserted name and pronoun is considered discriminatory.” (Recommended Standard, p.12) “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) 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! “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) 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. “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) 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. “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) Students will be allowed 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 evidence to a teacher or administrator, making it impossible for teachers to comply with these policies. “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) “Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence.” (Draft Policy, p.13) 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. “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) 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. “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) The requirements for schools to maintain gender-neutral dress code standards will cause disruptions and distractions, permitting boys to wear skirts and girls to go topless in activities where boys can – such as swimming activities or teams. “Students have a right to dress in a manner consistent with their gender identity or gender expression. Schools shall administer and enforce dress and grooming codes consistently across the student body, regardless of actual or perceived gender identity or gender expression.  Requirements for attire for school-related programs, activities, and events shall be gender-neutral.” (Draft Policy, p.16) 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.” “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 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.

There is a substantial body of research that shows how bulling and mistreatment in schools (by students as well as school employees) leads sexual and gender minority youth to skip school and drop out of school, and puts them at much greater risk for ending up in the juvenile justice system.

Transgender policy\nBody:\nThis policy is totally deceptive and degrading to our majority of children.  I feel these issues are a private matter that should be handled discreetly by parents and professionals.  Why are private issues being broadcast all over the world and being used to change society.  Having worked in schools for 24 years, I know there were issues the Nurse and Parents worked out for certain problems of students ( as in a need for a restroom). what about privacy of the average student.  By making such an issue of transgender, you are confusing other children.  Parents advocating these issues are not helping their child.  As for one day I want to be a girl and the next a boy, that sounds ridiculous and confusing for a child.  I feel common sense has been taken out of all education processes and the hype of making the majority accept their unacceptable policies is in.  This sounds like a mental issue  for parents believing in this treatment and certainly for a child who goes thru many feelings. The idea of taking away parental input on their own child and not seeking a physciatrist is baffling to me..  This problem is why we have such professions.  I don't want my grandchildren exposed to such non-sense.  This is once again lowering standards and taking away rights of a parent and child.  If there are physical problems with a child, this is understandable, but a mindset of chaos and forcing others to agree is totally against our Constitutional right.  People are more accepting of issues when less attention is brought to the issues and you will NEVER change all minds as to acceptance of everyone.  Toleration is one thing, but absolute force thru policy is another.  I am disgusted with the Education process as a whole, these personal issues carry more weight than our children being taught to sign their name...in cursive writing.  Why not get back to education's real purpose, READING, WRITING and MATH( which is more simple to learn!). Go back to the classroom with real issues, the children learning from a competent teacher rather than a SCREEN!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The constant bullying of anyone who didn’t fit typical gender norms was detrimental to my development and mental health, and I’m sure I am one of thousands who could say the same across the Commonwealth.

Thank you. First: Contrary to some opinions evidence supports that the effort to examine and model treatment of transgender students in public elementary and secondary schools is a worthwhile endeavor. Second: The draft’s design fails scientifically, ethically, and operationally by failing to address the reality that effective guidance to protect and support a vulnerable group in the school system must also address how the other groups (of all other students and their parents/guardians, of teachers and other employees, etc.) will be protected and supported and how the particular different individuals will be protected.   These failures threaten the rationality, morality, and stability of the draft guidance. Third: Among other places these failures are found immediately in the glossary and definitions of the draft terminology. For example: the definition of ‘gender’ necessarily requires distinction – definitionally – against a genetic description of ‘sex’, for example as the World Health Organization does: https://www.who.int/genomics/gender/en/#:~:text=(1)%20'Gender'%20describes,%2C%20health%20policy%2C%20and%20legislation .  A definition of ‘sex’ must also be included  since the term is used in many of the other definitions but is not here defined.  We find no where in the document discussion of the important scientific, biological terms regarding gender. Not including this important scientific information suggests that the model guidance is an ideological document intended to appease or indoctrinate rather than to support all members of schools’ communities. For example: there are no definitions of ‘detransitioning’ or ‘retransitioning’ which are being used by the most advanced SGM health agencies in the United States, including The National LGBT Health Education Center of the Fenway Institute a private world class agency in Boston and the San Francisco Health Network of the San Francisco Department of Public Health a world class public health agency: https://www.lgbtqiahealtheducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Transgender_Health_Care_Detransitioning_and_Retransitioning.pdf Therefore, the model’s definition of ‘transgender’ is scientifically, ethically and operationally inaccurate and unsound and threatens the dignity, safety, and well being of each and every student and their parents/guardians. Not including this important clinical and health related information suggests that the model guidance is an ideological document intended to appease or to indoctrinate rather than to support all members of schools’ communities.   In fact at various points in the document indoctrination appears to step forward that bespoils the model guidance. Fourth: The document avoids, or poorly discusses, manifold ethical issues and concerns that are of paramount importance. For example: Of paramount importance in every ‘breath’ of the model guidance – on paper and in implementation – must be ethically sound judgement.  Ethically sound judgement requires consideration of all levels of experience of the guidance: how administrators, how teachers, how other workers, how students, and students in their manifold diversity, how parents/guardians, and others will experience the guidance.  There is no evidence in the document of these considerations. Another paramount issue for ethical inquiry is how the model guidance protects  - or does not protect - each and every student from coercion(s).  Coercion(s) to believe things about themselves or others that are harmful to themselves or others, and coercion(s) to behave in ways that are harmful to themselves or others.  Discriminatory practices are a form of coercion.  Bullying and other violence or threatened violence are a form of coercion.  There are many other forms of coercion, including repression of inquiry, oppression of speech, failure to protect divergent points of view, and failure to ascertain and to protect valid informed consent and processes for achieving valid informed consent.  Issues of coercion and consent at vexed and complicated at all times in health care systems, and should be, for the protection of human dignity and human rights.   Recently in the United Kingdom issues of legal and ethical consent processing resulted in a high court  ruling, discussed briefly in the British Medical Journal - https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4699.full : Children under 16 cannot consent to the use of puberty blockers for gender dysphoria unless they can understand the immediate and long term consequences of the treatment, which is unlikely, the High Court in London has ruled. 1 Victoria Sharp, president of the Queen’s Bench Division, sitting with Lord Justice Lewis and Mrs Justice Lieven, said it was “highly unlikely” that a child aged 13 or under would be competent to give consent to the administration of puberty blockers. She said that the judges were “very doubtful” that a child aged 14 or 15 could understand and weigh the long term risks and consequences of the administration of puberty blockers. In the light of paramount ethical principles regarding ensuring non-coercion and ensuring valid consent the document’s many occasions of de-valuing, de-limiting, and at times dis-crediting/dis-enfranchising parents/guardians is ethically unsound, and may be legally unsound, not to mention objective harmful to some students.  In one prominent instance the guidance explicitly advises that schools may – or should -  lie to parents/guardians.  Establishing lying as a moral guide in the school system is unethical and presents the school system as a threat to community morality.  In another prominent instance the guidance invites the school system to act ‘in loco parentis’ regarding the student’s health and well being without consulting with the parents/guardians, and without social systems in place and ready to meet every need of the youth instead of the parents/guardians.  This is moral... [truncated]\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

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. These policies invite the sexual abuse of children and adults.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Biology is not.\nBody:\nI have no problems with any individual's sexual behavior or preference, within the law.  Clothing, mannerisms and other such displays are all fine with me. However, as a free thinking rational person, I should not be forced to pretend that a boy is a girl.  One's actual gender is determined before birth, at the moment of conception.  And it remains this way until our very last breath on earth.  Some children near puberty switch back and forth with great sexual confusion.  However, no amount of surgery or behavior modification can ever change our gender because it is locked into every cell of our body, with a pair of exactly the same DNA chromosomes that we were born with. So let people express themselves however they wish, but do not force my daughter to share restrooms/showers with your son.  There must be a recognition that there are immutable biological differences that drive some policies, and privacy, and medical care, which cannot be trumped by a teenager's sexual preference.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

What psychological science is being used to base these changes? The psychology behind gender is still being explored and a cursory search can find many different conclusions not only in the science, but in behavioral approach. Focus on teaching English, Math, Science and the other topics, and stop forcing this conversation on children as young as 4-5 years old. This is clearly an ideological move and does not actually care for the young who experience gender dysphoria. Use your time and our tax dollars to explore other teaching methods like those of Charlotte Mason who respect the individual as a mystery in their approach to education, not reduce their identity to merely their sexual and gender preferences.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I invite contact for any clarification, further discussion, or other inputs. Thank you. First: Contrary to some opinions evidence supports that the effort to examine and model treatment of transgender students in public elementary and secondary schools is a worthwhile endeavor. Second: The draft’s design fails scientifically, ethically, and operationally by failing to address the reality that effective guidance to protect and support a vulnerable group in the school system must also address how the other groups (of all other students and their parents/guardians, of teachers and other employees, etc.) will be protected and supported. These failures threaten the rationality, morality, and stability of the draft guidance. Third: Among other places these failures are found immediately in the glossary and definitions of the draft terminology. For example: the definition of ‘gender’ necessarily requires distinction – definitionally – against a genetic description of ‘sex’, for example as the World Health Organization does: https://www.who.int/genomics/gender/en/#:~:text=(1)%20'Gender'%20describes,%2C%20health%20policy%2C%20and%20legislation. A definition of ‘sex’ must also be included since the term is used in many of the other definitions but is not here defined. We find no where in the document discussion of the important scientific, biological terms regarding gender. Not including this important scientific information suggests that the model guidance is an ideological document intended to appease or indoctrinate rather than to support all members of schools’ communities. For example: there are no definitions of ‘detransitioning’ or ‘retransitioning’ which are being used by the most advanced SGM health agencies in the United States, including The National LGBT Health Education Center of the Fenway Institute a private world class agency in Boston and the San Francisco Health Network of the San Francisco Department of Public Health a world class public health agency: https://www.lgbtqiahealtheducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Transgender_Health_Care_Detransitioning_and_Retransitioning.pdf Therefore, the model’s definition of ‘transgender’ is scientifically, ethically and operationally inaccurate and unsound and threatens the dignity, safety, and well being of each and every student and their parents/guardians. Not including this important clinical and health related information suggests that the model guidance is an ideological document intended to appease or to indoctrinate rather than to support all members of schools’ communities. In fact at various points in the document indoctrination appears to step forward that bespoils the model guidance. Fourth: The document avoids, or poorly discusses, manifold ethical issues and concerns that are of paramount importance. For example: Of paramount importance in every ‘breath’ of the model guidance – on paper and in implementation – must be ethically sound judgement. Ethically sound judgement requires consideration of all levels of experience of the guidance: how administrators, how teachers, how other workers, how students, and students in their manifold diversity, how parents/guardians, and others will experience the guidance. There is no evidence in the document of these considerations. Another paramount issue for ethical inquiry is how the model guidance protects - or does not protect - each and every student from coercion(s). Coercion(s) to believe things about themselves or others that are harmful to themselves or others, and coercion(s) to behave in ways that are harmful to themselves or others. Discriminatory practices are a form of coercion. Bullying and other violence or threatened violence are a form of coercion. There are many other forms of coercion, including r...

As a school counselor, I have witnessed the difference in outcomes for transgender students when they are supported and affirmed at school compared to when they are not. Equitable access to education is a right for all students, and these proposed changes will help ensure that students feel supported at school and thus motivated to attend and engage in learning. I particularly appreciate the proposal for school boards to develop a way for students' true gender (not necessarily the one assigned at birth) and chosen name to be displayed prominently in their records. When educators look up a student in the system, chosen name and true gender must be featured so as to avoid unintentionally misgendering and alienating the student. Educators who are resistant to calling students by their chosen name should be encouraged to view it similarly to students who use nicknames instead of their legal name: if nicknames are acceptable, then so are transgender students' chosen names. Refusal to comply with the student's request to be called by a name other than their legal name should be viewed as a malicious attempt to prohibit the student from obtaining an equitable education. I also appreciated the ideas around how to compromise with parents who do not want their student's gender identity to be affirmed. The example given in which educators compromise with parents by using the student's legal name and pronouns in communication with parents and using the student's chosen name and pronouns in the classroom and school milieu may be one way to support students while also working respectfully with parents who are not initially accepting of their student's identity. All in all, a lot needs to change on a policy level in order for Virginia schools to be equitable for all students. This proposal is one step in the right direction towards making that happen.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If school divisions have a policy on bullying and harassment why do we need a separate policy on \"The treatment of Transgender Students\"  The policies of bullying and harassment cover every student within a school setting. .  Also, VDOE is isolating non-transgender students with this new policy.. Non -transgender/LGBTQ  could be bullied  and harassed by transgender or any LGBTQ group. Where is the policy to protect this group.  Please explain what a sex-based dress code is(this term is not used in any school handbook to my knowledge). What is the difference between a school activity and a sport ? What stops transgender students from participating in VHSL sports.  By the VDOE's definition once a student declares to be a certain gender they have all the rights and privileges of that gender. If a boy claims to be a girl and dresses as a girl during the day and this girl wants to try out for basketball do they try out as a girl or as a boy or can they play for either team. VDOE is opening a door that they will have to defend on many points.  VDOE is setting up school divisions for potential lawsuits.   VDOE is designed by nature to first educate children.  Why does VDOE spend time on things that are universally covered under two words: bullying and harassment.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is NOT a term to describe the sex of an individual, which is determined by the DNA in the nucleus of every cell in the human body.  No amount of chemical or surgical mutilation of the body can alter that.  It is superfluous to assume that anyone can choose their sex, male or female.  It is also damaging to lie to a human of any age that they can \"choose\" their sex. In addition, the two-pronged goal of Marxism is 1. Destroy the family unit. 2. Abolish private property.  This document falls under #1. Therefore, it should be dismissed and rejected. A person who is really confused(not faking it) by some feelings about their sex should be offered truthful, compassionate counseling about their situation.  \"Fakers\", so they can compete in athletic games against members of the opposite sex, should be told to compete against members of their own sex, period. Furthermore, this document displays an astounding lack of knowledge and understanding of human nature, of the sciences of biology, genetics, sociology, and psychology.  There is nothing good in any of these recommendations.  That it is even being considered is embarrassing to everyone with the slightest bit of humanity, intelligence, and rational thought. Reject it, reject it, reject it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It is crucial that we encourage the protection of students in policies in order to protect them from peers who may not yet understand them AS WELL AS adults and faculty who need formal requirements in order to hold them accountable. Bullying, harassment, and discrimination regarding one's identity are inexcusable and to deny these youth of protection of their personal privacy regarding confidentiality of information, school records, and dress code are all facets of empowering and encouraging youth to stay within the educational system. The lack of these BASIC rights is what leads to long-term, irreparable inequity in adulthood and should be avoided at all costs through the utmost protection of youth via protective and inclusive policy. ALSO, TO THOSE IN OPPOSITION: It is evident you did NOT read nor comprehend that these policies were REQUESTED via HOUSE and SENATE BILLS by the VA GA and that the guidelines address EVIDENCE-based practices and information. Your personal concerns regarding the \"influence\" of your own children are thus issues regarding the level of education in your own household. Perhaps consider taking a Gender Studies course at any University in which policies regarding Transgender/Non-Binary students are certainly more forthright than the BASIC rights proposed here for the youth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Let's not forget that in the face of progress there has always been dissenters that will deny their dissent years later. White people did not want Black people in their schools, but the children of those white people would never admit their parents held those beliefs. Cisgender, heterosexual people did not want queer people to be happy but now queer people enjoy overwhelming support in national polls. The same will be said of trans students. People will wrongly oppose to their happiness and limiting the unequal and unnecessary treatment they face, but in 10 years will deny they were ever of that mindset.

This policy applies that new knowledge to making schools safer for our children. Opposition to this policy which claims to be based in biology or \"common sense\" ignores decades of work in biology, psychology, and the social sciences.

As a resident of Loudoun County, from the diverse classroom libraries debacle to the scandal of promotion of Critical Race Theory to this most recent transgender fiasco, this school system seems hell-bent on implementing progressive policies, which undermine parental rights and the family, and promise to produce an ill-equipped generation, characterized by division, confusion and frustration. Additionally, requiring untruthful pronoun usage by teachers is a compelled speech violation, and demanding that students participate in such a lie violates their right to free speech as well. President Reagan warned of those forces that would weaken or destroy the family, whether from external totalitarian societies that see in the family a natural enemy, or domestic forces within America that erode the stability of the family.  This is what we are witnessing. This policy would be in keeping with and a furtherance of LCPS’s societal assault, as it fails to realize that “progress” does not always progress toward the good (sadly, quite often the contrary), particularly when it latches on to the latest cultural whim or dictate. Continuation down this path of social engineering at the expense of core mission will lead to end of the public school system as we know it, as more families will be forced to opt for homeschooling, private or charter schools, recognizing that through laws and coercion the education of America's youth is being taken out of parent's hands and placed in the hands of secular educators. Virginia should lead the way in abandoning these \"fool's errands\" and return to building a school system whose academics are the highest priority. These efforts go far beyond existing rules already in place to ensure all students are educated in an atmosphere of tolerance to mandated advocacy, where majority students are required to keep up with the ever-changing expectations of the cultural progressives, and memorize what is appropriate or inappropriate—depending on the latest determinations of groups that perceive themselves as beleaguered. Please return to the basics... Respectfully, Kent Husted\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It appears that the Department believes that these policies are in the best interest of our children. However, I must respectfully disagree. As an educator under the proposed policies, I would fear for the safety and well-being of my students, and for my own safety and well-being. I do not want to enforce policies that go against my belief that God created us \"very good\", male and female (Genesis 1:26-31). To teach anything other than that would keep children from embracing who they are and growing into who they are meant to be. Allowing the proposed changes would only confuse them during a time when they should be reaching further clarity of self. We must not take away a child's right to express their beliefs and grow into responsible citizens. We must also not take away the right that parents and teachers have to pass on their beliefs to their children. While the Department is trying to limit abuses through the proposed policies, I believe that they would allow for more safety violations. I am afraid that my students and I would be victims of harassment and discomfort if forced to use co-ed facilities. Please avoid enacting the proposed policies in order to preserve the physical and mental well-being of our community and our nation. I say this all out of love of our children, and with respect for our policymakers.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Bullying is never acceptable anywhere, in any form.  However, as a VA resident and mother of school-aged children, I am very concerned about the guidelines proposed in this document.  \"There are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student’s request to affirm their gender identity...” It is completely unacceptable that the school/government would propose to allow the exclusion of parents from something so important as the sexual development/gender identity of their child.  While I believe it is important to create safe spaces for children who struggle with gender dysphoria, the parents must be informed/included in the process.  There are many other parts of this policy that are highly concerning and it must be rejected.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Further, this policy imposes behavior on teachers with which they must comply or face dismissal. It imposes behavior on children they are not equipped to understand and which may very well be strenuously opposed by their families and religious communities. It's hardly necessary to go to this extreme to teach children to treat their peers with kindness, particularly those suffering from disorders or disabilities.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Thank you for putting this together. Some sentences struck me as particularly great: \"Regardless of the circumstances, the school should support the student’s need for privacy and not disclose a student’s gender identity to other students or parents.\" \"When a student undergoes a public gender transition, schools should work proactively to set clear boundaries about being gender inclusive and respond to negative reactions from the school community should they arise.\" \"School divisions should accept a student’s assertion of their gender identity without requiring any particular substantiating evidence, including diagnosis, treatment, or legal documents.\" \"A school employee’s intentional and persistent refusal to respect a student’s asserted name and pronoun is considered discriminatory.\" \"The protection of the student’s legal name and gender as sensitive information would prevent a student’s transgender status from being disclosed, such as by a substitute teacher.\" \"Dress codes, including hairstyles, should encompass broad guidelines that are not gender-specific and free of gender stereotypes.\" \"Students should be allowed to use the facility that corresponds to their consistently asserted gender identity.\" Great job putting this together. The only deficiency I see is that the guidelines seem to avoid extending protections to transgender children who participate in athletic activities. I urge you to rectify that gap. Otherwise, this is stellar. Thank you!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The policies cater to the wishes of a few students, while violating the legitimate concerns of the majority of students, parents and teachers. It is an undeniable fact that sex of a child is determined at the moment of conception when the child either receives XX (female) or XY (male) chromosomes.  Even very young children know the difference between girls and boys.  It is sad that some teens and older children develop sexual confusion, possibly due to molestation, peer pressure, and media influences.  My wife once worked with some teenage girls who said that in their high school it was considered “cool” to identify as “gay.”  In that instance, peer pressure and status in the high school environment outweighed reality and common sense. Parents of minor children, not the VDOE, have the primary responsibility for the upbringing and welfare of their children. The proposed policy would violate the rights of parents and prevent them from properly fulfilling their God-given responsibilities.  Moreover, the policies allow minor children to be the undisputed authority in the schools rather than teachers. The wishes of the students become paramount and the teachers relinquish their adult authority to become servants of the students.  Historically, education in the US inculcated moral values along with the three R’s.  The result was a cohesive society which allowed the US to flourish.  Without a moral foundation, societies disintegrate into selfish unsustainable cultures. Minor children are not able to comprehend the future implications of their decisions to “change” their sex.  Many adults who surgically changed their sex later regretted the decision.  Because they could not change their DNA, they are living a lie and become a second-class member of the opposite sex, rather than a first-class member of their God-given sex. We are glad we didn’t have to worry about the opposite sex being in our locker rooms when we took physical education. Going through puberty is difficult enough without creating an additional, unnecessary, source of stress. We urge the Virginia Department of Education to use good judgement and common sense and drop the proposed transgender policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

At the same time, I am opposed to chaos in the classroom and in schools that may be caused by students \"playing games\" with gender identity. I have heard numerous stories from well-meaning teachers being subjected to disciplinary discussions after failing to use the proper names and pronouns when calling on students in the classroom who have decided to switch identities back and forth. I agree that guidelines are needed.  Make sure the final product is in the best interest of both the students AND the teachers who are trying to keep order in a classroom.  Gender confusion for adolescents is a concern in relatively small percentage, but keep in mind it is a concern for the adults we hold accountable to teach our adolescents. Also concerning is that information can be withheld from parents.  Parents must accept responsibility for their childrens' learning and their actions while in school.  To keep them in the dark is problematic.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

No “child” has any TRUE notion if they should change their sex. In the 1970’s, I worked at Hopkins as an RN; patients needed to be 21 years of age & have a minimum of 1 year psychotherapy before any sex change. The program was a failure due to severe psychological trauma to the individual. Now we are at it again with no age designation or psychotherapy. You can ask anyone if they want to be called male or female, but they are a boy or girl at birth. Why would the schools decrease the amount of American history taught in school, but force this insanity to be addressed. Those that say, Good Idea, have No Idea! But the schools will follow demented NANCY PELOSI’s lead & prohibit correct & rational pronouns. Go right ahead, the school board will proclaim to all how insane they are. WOKE?  I think not. INSANE? Yes. I am too disgusted with anything in the government, including the public schools, to respect what they think, believe or ram down our throats. P.S. I am a female.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

As an educator, my job is to educate students in the subjects that I teach and to not worry about being charged with discrimination or harassment. I need to be able to educate without having to worry about this. My focus is on the whole child and one that can read and write and perform in order to better society in the future. My middle schooler should be able to go to the locker room or bathroom with the same sex and not have his education thwarted by worrying about who he will find there.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is detrimental to parental rights, destructive in its aim to corrupt our children and ignores basic science.  Our schools should be facilities of education and not indoctrination.  When our schools are graduating students that are illiterate, have low math scores and no grasp of history or life skills, there are much higher priorities than gender \"choices\".  Our current political climate shows our schools are failing our students.  They are graduating college with high debt and no skills.  We have college graduates that cannot make a budget or balance their checkbook. There is little personal responsibility and no real understanding of the debt the students chose to take on. Parental rights should be given top priority.  Our students should not have to be re-educated when they get home to learn family values and gain emotional stability.  Parents should not have to fight the school system to prevent schools from teaching unbiblical and unrealistic new norms.  As this reaches into personal and religious beliefs, it is the parents choice as to whether this should be taught to their children.  Any attempt to bypass the parents decision should be immediately dismissed as a course of action. How would you determine at what age this is acceptable to be taught?  The truth is you can't determine it.  Children drive at 16, vote at 18 (and are considered legal adults) and yet we restrict them from drinking until they reach 21 because they do not have the maturity to make that decision.  If they are not mature enough to have an adult beverage, they are certainly not mature enough to \"choose\" their gender.    No child under the age of 18 should have this propaganda taught to them.  They lack the maturity to have stable relationships and adolescence is difficult enough with out having this nonsense pushed on them. Finally, there is a lot of discussion about science and science deniers.  We cannot have it both ways.  We cannot say follow the science on climate change at the same time saying ignore the science that there are two genders.  We cannot claim that we are teaching facts that the earth is round and then turn around and say gender is fluid.  Facts and data matter.  The greatest generation had the advantage of going through tough times and realize that there are facts in the world we may not like.  That made them stronger, not weaker.  We are weakening our youth by letting them choose the facts they want to believe.  Science is the study of facts and learning based on data.  We cannot teach our children that facts and data do not matter and expect to excel as a society. Thank you\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

First and foremost, literally decades of research have shown that the vast majority of children and teens that identify as trans, actually transition to their biologic gender by adulthood with watchful waiting, and are happy with that decision! I find it concerning that schools would interfere with parental guidance about sexuality, especially if deemed non-affirming. Non-affirming is not automatically, or the equivalent of, abusive. Pushing a trans agenda because a student \"feels\" that way for a time can lead to irreversible consequences of hormone treatments and/or surgery. We don't have solid evidence-based medicine to endorse these policies; we are likely causing future harm for the majority of trans students that will switch (or wish they could switch) back in future years. Particularly concerning is the utter disregard for the vast majority of non-trans student rights! Without some form of verification of trans status, what will prevent curious/devious/predatory persons from taking advantage of these policies for their own pleasure. I doubt it will take long for a number of teen boys to realize they can enter a girls locker room to watch girls change, and they can't even be questioned. Even if questioned, they could claim they \"felt\" like a girl that moment, day, etc. This will cause psychological harm to many children. A similar concern involves the discrimination policy. If students can change their preferred gender, name, and pronoun at will, it'll be nearly impossible to keep up for peers and faculty. It won't take long for a clever student to change as needed to claim he or she or ? is being discriminated against by someone they don't like. How would you ever be able to sort this out the way the polices are written. We're asking for more problems than providing solutions. Lastly, while students are wrestling with these important issues, I agree they should not be harassed or abused. However, I don't see how current policies fail to protect them from bullying the same as anyone else.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is too difficult for faculty to facilitate and not practical.  This will cause more confusion for the kids and teachers.  Teachers have enough to deal with on their hands.  The main focus for all schools is to educate the basics so they can be competent in reading, writing and math and history especially American history that is NOT based on critical race theory.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It amounts to law made by Congress and implemented through VDOE which DIS respects many if not all establishments of religion. This policy violates the 8th Amendment to the Constitution.  It leads children to a mode of existence that ultimately conflicts with their biological nature, leading to the cruel and unusual punishment of persons, who, having made ill-informed and ignorant choices as children, will be forced into situations from which they may never be able to retreat, which will destroy, prevent and twist the actualization of their natural talents and abilities towards the pursuit of happiness. This policy violates the 9th Amendment to the Constitution in that inevitably leads to situations wherein the rights of some members of the population will be denied and disparaged, e.g. rights of women to compete in sports without competition from men. This policy violates the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in that it creates and encourages a situation of involuntary servitude to a transgender existence. This policy violates the 14th Amendment to the Constitution in that it creates situation that ultimately deprive transgendered adults of their natural rights to unconstrained life and liberty to exist as a naturally sexed person. This policy confounds the terms of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution by creating a class of persons who can not be identified under the terms of this amendment, e.g.: the pronoun \"his\" and \"he\" are used seven times in this Amendment.  The import of this Amendment is vitiated by this policy's elimination of these terms from common parlance.  Before any such policy is created, an Amendment to the Constitution must be obtained to prevent the policy from vitiating this Amendment. The legal system of the United States abounds with distinctions based on identification by Sex.  No policy should be instituted which forces a change to the legal code of either State or Federal Government.  Changes to legal terminology should not be the product of educational policy but rather driven by top down legislative action, including first having amended to the Constitutions of each of the States and of the United States.. It is beyond the charter for the VDOE to institute policy which will change the underlying nature of any or all parallel and superior elements, systems, or agencies of government, commerce, science et al.  VDOE policy MUST be subordinate to the needs of all other departments so to \"educate\" to the needs of others.  This proposed policy is tantamount to an initiative by VDOE to undermine ALL other elements of government, commerce, religion et al in the State.  Such an initiative is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and it is clearly OUT OF SCOPE for VDOE.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These proposals bewildered me as a parent. As I looked at the names of contributors to these proposals I was shocked to see the names listed. I am writing as a parent. But these proposals should be concerning for anyone considering having children, who has children, or grandchildren. These proposals are a clear violation of parental rights. Why should the government be interfering in the parent-child relationship and hiding information from the parents? There must be clear evidence of abuse for that to occur and these proposals are clearly overstepping of the government’s role. It also sets a scary precedent for what the government may try to infiltrate. This is absolutely an area that the government has no basis for meddling in. The parent-child relationship ought to be unmeddled with. The importance of the parent-child relationship and the family unit is so strong that we have moved away from orphanages for those truly abused or alone and have placed those individuals in foster care. In a family unit. Because the parent (or acting parent) has the best understanding of their child’s needs. And as anyone who has served in the foster system can attest the government generally does a lousy job “helping” those children. Having a school staff member support a child through a gender change without the parents’ knowledge or consent is devastatingly destructive to that child and family. Overwhelming statistics show the incredibly high suicide rate for people who identify as transgender and then go through with hormone therapy/surgery. It’s obvious that continuing down the road of pursuing a transgender lifestyle is hurtful and destructive to that individual. A parent would have the child’s best interests at heart more than any unrelated staff member. No parent aware of the risks would willingly allow their child to be subjected to a pseudo-medical procedure that is statistically proven to increase the odds of confusion, regret, and suicidal thoughts for their child - for a lifetime. Stripping parents of their ability to protect their child from these hazards is an unprecedented violation of their rights, knowingly places children in harm’s way, and ignores numerous psychological studies.  I’m baffled that anyone would think these policies could save lives as other comments have suggested. That’s statistically untrue. Freedom of speech is infringed upon here too. There are some things that are just facts. The sky is blue. Say a teacher or student addresses a boy in the class as “he”, who decides they want to be addressed as a female (that hour, which may change 3 hours from now... as the proposal is written) and use the wrong pronoun for that moment. How can they be held accountable for that? The pronoun use is written completely arbitrarily in a way that asks to be abused by an angsty child with a disrespect for authority. Letting a child decide which dressing room to use on a whim is asking for all kinds of abusive scenarios. This is ludicrous. Has anyone who contributed to the proposals been or met a teenage boy? Of course this will be abused. Unbelievable that it’s being considered. For the safety of the students and the protection of the parent-child relationship these proposals should be abandoned in their entirety.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are two sexes, male and female, as identified by XY and XX chromosomes. Don't confuse helpless children by wielding your power to promote gender dysphoria.  That is child abuse. Each sex deserves their own changing and rest room facilities.  So, don't violate their privacy rights.  That should be a crime. In addition, girls and young women deserve their own sports programs.  They shouldn't have to compete with biological males which puts them at an unfair disadvantage. Finally, do not demand that school employees lie about the sex of anyone.  That is a violation of First Amendment rights, and does a disservice to everyone including the person you want to help. The fact that I have to remind you of these basic truths, should embarrass you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Unapologetically, I'm not quite so eloquent.  All teachers unions need to be eliminated and many of our school board members need to be fired for pushing their social agendas onto our children of all ages.  This includes our Marxist professors in our American colleges.  STOP THE INDOCTRINATION NOW!  I don't shove my belief systems or heterosexuality down your your throats.  How DARE you think you can do so to OUR children!  They are NOT your children to mold and influence about sexual matters.  Ridiculous how obviously wrong this is.  Leave your personal sexual preferences and agendas where they belong:  In your personal life.  Stop trying SO HARD to convince the world your belief system is \"normal\" and HAS TO BE everyone's belief system.  Perhaps you need to look inward to see why it's so important you need our impressionable children's/college-aged adults' approval.  Next thing you know, pedophilia will be legalized.  One deviation leads to one more, then one more.  Where does it end?   STOP THE MADNESS NOW!   Parents have finally opened their eyes and WE ARE ONTO YOU!  LEAVE OUR CHILDREN ALONE! Follow the science. Follow the science.  There are two sexes, male and female, as identified by XY and XX chromosomes.

Will my high school student be provided a private place to change if he is uncomfortable in a locker room situation? Will my high school student be provided special accommodations in an overnight trip situation? The rest of us have to forego long traditions of homecoming courts, father-daughter dances, etc. because a person might find it uncomfortable? That is not equitable. Pandering to the desires of a few at the expense of most of the others is not equity. Assemblies against all bullying in all forms no matter what the reason is applauded, but assemblies promoting transgender lifestyle is  a promotion of certain beliefs that may counter the beliefs and religion of many students. It is not the purpose of education. Teaching transgender victories is recent and current politics and should only be taught in a class focusing on current events. It should not be part of regular social studies curriculum.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

There are innumerable risks to the safety of other students, and it ignores the natural state in which God has created people. The potential for abuse by teachers toward students who are vulnerable, and by other students, aside from the general affront to the decency of many people's beliefs, is great. This is a political, moral and religious issue that families need to handle in their own way. Children are not wards of the state, and school officials should not be in the position of handling a situation like this, particularly outside of the parent's knowledge. Schools will lose a number of very talented teachers if they are forced to adopt these policies. It puts teachers in too vulnerable of a position should a student change their 'identity' from day to day. Not to mention, this completely ignores a teacher's right to believe what they believe about this issue. We can be free until it destroys other people's beliefs, and the gender at birth is clear. The fact we're debating this as a society shows how far we've gone from logic and reality. How can teachers and other students be forced to adopt policies that will go against their conscience so that the minority are comfortable?  This is outrageous. God has entrusted children to their parents, not the school administrators and not the government.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Why would disciplinary action be taken for a student OR teacher that may honestly not have known there was a 'preferred' pronoun. If it is not made obvious to the student or faculty member, it should not be considered harassment or discrimination as a 'preference' may not be obvious.  The schools already do an extremely poor job at 'stopping' bullying regarding students, maybe that should be worked on before more occurs. This could easily be abused by an individual to use this against another for selfish reasons (bullying) if this is the action that would be taken for a common and obvious assumption that has otherwise not been brought to the \"harasser's\" attention.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Most of these students outgrow their gender/sex confusion and become comfortable with their biological bodies as determined by their DNA.                                                                                                                                      Our biological bodies are either boy or girl, man or woman. Confusion over sex and gender are the same thing. Confusion over your sex and gender is a mental problem. You don't solve mental problems with hormones and surgery.                                                                                  The proposed Transgender Policies for Virginia schools would open up a Pandora's box of problems. You're acting on a students without any other information. This makes no sense. And it will have students gaming the system.                                                                                             The proposed policies completely take the parents out of the picture. They either accept the school's dictates or are told to get lost. What happened to parental authority for children under eighteen years of age? That's a big change in the law.                               Transgenderism, when it exists , should be treated by professionals who have experience in this area. Our children and students must not be sent down a road leading to confusion, high risk, depression and possible suicide. This policy is not in the best interests of our children.

Female: noun - a person bearing two X chromosomes in the cell nuclei and who has a vagina, uterus, and ovaries, and developing a relatively rounded body and enlarged breasts at puberty, and retaining a hairless face; a girl or woman. There is a war on women by the international left. They seek to turn all sports into sports dominated by men just to start. A man wearing a skirt, a wig, or who has breast transplants is still a man because of his biological makeup, which cannot change no matter how the man “feels” on a given day and irregardless to the level of indoctrination he, and those around him, have been programmed with. Just as a woman will always be a woman no matter how she dresses because chromosomes cannot be changed. Instead of lying to Americans and trying to force them to believe INGSOC and newspeak definitions for well established words, we should be celebrating the differences between men and women. Most women are awesome at being women just as most men are awesome at being men. When we demand that there be no difference between anyone, we eliminate just another part of what being an individual truly means. I pulled my son out of lefty centers of indoctrination (public “schools”) last year as I saw this nonsense coming. Stop indoctrinating the next generation into Orwellian BS. This proposed change is designed to drive a wedge between Americans and it will forever damage the relationship we have with our fellow Americans. ”The (democrat) party seeks power entirely for its own sake.

These young people are at increased risk for being harassed or bullied, and are at increased risk for mental health problems which are not intrinsic to their gender status, but are the result of  bullying by classmates, or worse, by teachers or administrators. Inclusive policies based on current research and understanding of gender issues won't solve all the problems these students encounter--but it's appropriate for a school system to set the tone for how students are treated, and to lead the way in meeting their needs. Schools must be part of the solution, not part of the problem.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Transgender and gender non-conforming individuals face regular harassment, bullying, and discrimination in workplaces, schools, and public areas, and these policies will go a long way to making sure that every Virginia child has a safe space. To the dissenters, these policies are not the result of random experiences or a specific agenda, they come from the lived and shared experience of 100s and 1000s of transgender folx who experience depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts on a daily basis because of the way they are treated, as well as thorough and non-partisan research conducted by the VDOE, school psychologists, school social workers, and family specialists. It has the support of stakeholders from across Virginia's school systems, professional associations, and individuals who have either the academic expertise or lived experience to conclude definitively that policies like this would help.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This would include if they have been investigated and found to have expressed any anti-LGBTQ, racist, misogynist, or ableist beliefs to any student or staff. It would go on record and be cause for termination. Any teacher who holds anti-LGBTQ sentiments are a threat to LGBTQ students and create an environment that allows discrimination and harm. Secondary to that they should also be enrolled in the databases police search to conduct background checks for churches, scout organizations, sports organizations, and any other background check conducted on adults who have contact with students so organizations are aware of the threat posed by that person for their LGBTQ children. That information should be provided to these groups requesting background investigations so they can make the determination if the (former) teacher still poses a threat to minors.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, I think my observations and questions are valid. What I find confusing is on page 5 Section 22.1-23.3 - why does the VA code not include athletics? If Trans students are to be treated fairly as Title IX indicates on page 7 - why are VA public schools excluding athletics? Is this to say that Trans students should have all of these considerations put in place, except for when they want to play a sport that is opposite of their physical characteristics? Under the Student Policy/Confidentiality section on page 11 \"When a student undergoes public transition...schools need to set clear boundaries about being gender inclusive.\" How is this to be enacted? How are schools going to control students from making fun of each other/bullying? Are schools going to impose zero tolerance policies for harassment of trans students? If so, how will schools ensure Black and Brown students are not over-represented in discipline and referral actions now that, for example, if a student says something negative about a Trans students - they are now suspended or given detention? It is clear that his policy was not created with the input of parents, as not one is listed on pages 3-4. It is a shame that this policy was not created with the consideration of scholarly work such as The End of Gender: Debunking the Myths about Sex and Identity in our Society by Dr. Debra Soh; Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters by Abigail Shrier; and Ostgathe et al., (2014) found here: https://www.researchgate.net/deref/http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.11648%2Fj.ajap.20140306.14 .; and Douglas Murray's The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity. There is not conclusive evidence to suggest that Trans students should not be diagnosed with BIID or Gender Dysphoria. This policy goes on to perpetuate the raising of children absent of parental input. Meaning, this policy is usurping parent's rights to be involved in their child or adolescent's life. This is ethically and morally unjust.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Why now?\nBody:\nWhy is this a priority item for the education department?  There are so many bigger issues to focus on, specifically education itself.  With over 300 days since our children have been in a physical school building, they are falling behind.  This issue is not a priority and frankly needs to be discussed when we can debate this in person due to the many flaws in your assessment. 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.” Parents wouldn't be notified?  How is it possible that LEGAL GUARDIANS wouldn't be notified about an issue that pertains to their children? If students are allowed 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 evidence to a teacher or administrator, how do the teacher comply?  How will you keep our children safe?  If a biological male claims to identify as female and has full access to bathrooms and locker rooms, how are you protecting biological females and giving THEM a choice on whether or not they want a boy in their locker room? You are proposing big changes that would negatively impact the majority of your student population for a small group of people.  Why not make individual exceptions for this small minority, rather than force all students, faculty and administrators to comply with an empirically debatable view of sex and gender, especially if it directly conflicts with their own fundamental beliefs.\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 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! 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. 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. 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. The requirements for schools to maintain gender-neutral dress code standards will cause disruptions and distractions, permitting boys to wear skirts and girls to go topless in activities where boy can- such as swimming or teams. Parents will not be notified that their child is being interrogated by school officials for allegedly violating these polices, 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 and sociology prevents them from being able to go along with the \"transgender\" ideology and policies. There are many more reasons to oppose the proposed Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia's Public Schools.  These policies are detrimental to our educational system and will only add more problems then what they hope to solve. Please do not support these policies!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

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.

Don't the policy-makers realize that transgendered individuals are much more prone to mental illness and premature death than the non-transgendered population?  (Cf. https://soundsliketransedu.com/uncategorized/suicide-stats-in-trans-comm/ ) Why do you want to encourage children to pursue a path that leads to mental illness and premature death?  That is not a rhetorical question! The proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six ” – that are far different from those of many parents.

If kids are really confused as to what bathroom or shower they should use, build them new ones and as a taxpayer I will gladly pay the increase in my taxes.  All the requirements under this proposed policy will likely cost more than just modifying your facilities.  Your trying to fix a problem by creating a bigger one that abdicates your responsibility to your students.  What about the rights of students and their families who are very opposed to these radical ideas that seems to be written more to address the needs of the adult authors than the student population ! You are driving people out of your schools instead of solving a problem.  Good luck with this poorly thought out plan.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have long been a proponent of various types of civil rights and strongly believe all people and all segments of our society should be equally respected and cared for.  Being caring and respectful of transgender students does not mean that we need to go overboard in our eagerness to make sure they feel included and respected.  These guidelines go way overboard and do not make common sense.  Also, it is important for the parents of students under 18 years of age not be to blocked from what is happening in their child's school or classroom.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The oppression in hate in these comments are the minority when you look at the bigger picture of the world and are downright disgusting.

Schools should not be able to help students explore or make decisions about their gender identity.  It is up to the parent or guardian to make decisions concerning their minor children.   Students should not get to pick which bathroom or locker room they go into.  I would not want my daughter to be made to change in a locker room with males present or use a restroom where males could also be present.  This is a big safety concern.  Religious freedoms will be violated if parents are told they cannot discuss God with their minor children in relation to their biological sex.  This topic is best left at home; it is not for the schools to teach.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The proposed policy would violate the rights of parents and prevent them from properly fulfilling their God-given responsibilities.

We need to protect them especially in an educational environment even if students/faculty do not understand them. Bullying and discrimination of youth regarding their identity is completely inexcusable no matter the environment but especially in schools. Our students should not have to worry about their safety at school. Those opposing this are ignorant of acceptance and equality of all. “The lack of these basic rights is what leads to long-term, irreparable inequity in adulthood and should be avoided at all costs through the upmost protection of youth via protective and inclusive policy,” (Téa Le). Think about if you had a child... would you want them to be discriminated against and bullied due to their own identity?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I do not want my child’s educators telling them that a person can change their gender, and believe that will only create confusion. Furthermore, it is wrong for an educational system to impose their moral beliefs on countless families of faith who do not share those beliefs. I support anti-bullying/kindness training, and this should be more than enough to support a transgender student, without forcing innocent students into premature discussions on sexuality for the sake of a small minority.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Over the past few years, I have had multiple students who identify as transgender or nonbinary, or who are beginning to explore their gender identity. Overall, their peers have been understanding and supportive. The kids get it--it's about time policy caught up! Having these guidelines will be great to help shift unintentionally discriminatory wordings (such as concert dress codes) as well as build a future that is inclusive of our non-binary students (such as designing new buildings with plans for single-use bathrooms). It will also help educate teachers who are not as aware or informed about how to navigate having a non-binary student. Our goal should always be to create a safe and welcoming environment for ALL of our students, and this is a huge step in the right direction.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We must protect our trans youth in a time where they are most vulnerable while  providing them with our support and safety. Please rethink if it were to be your child and the support, guidance, and love that they would need from you.  If you do not support or agree maybe homeschooling or private school may be a better option for your child. Religion is kept out of PUBLIC schools and should never be an excuse, you’re only spreading hate. If you are a parent and do not support this I am scared for your child’s future and the wrong, hateful ideas you put into their heads. If you are a teacher and do not support this policy you should reconsider your career because the only job you have is to educate and support children, never discriminate.

I fully support adults  coming alongside to offer wisdom and support, but I cannot support these purposed policies. I am an educator and mother. Evidence is overwhelming to show the need for boundaries and rules for children. When we give children the ability to choose anything they want with no correct or incorrect they become lost. Children questioning gender identity need support, however, I am very concerned that instituting policies such as these will only cause more children to question something they never would have considered before.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Depending on if you are in Europe or in the US, the number of these \"identities\" varies greatly.  I understand that one site in Europe lists 71 such identities, and does not give you the option of male and female.  If you do press forward with this, I strongly argue that EVERY IDENTITY be give their own restroom.  That way NO ONE would be forced into a restroom with an IDENTITY that they do not want to be with. Additional issues include 300% higher suicide rate than two gender kids.  This rate does not decrease even in the most permissive and accepting situations. From natural standpoint, our species is two-gendered.  While there is an occasional, genetic anomaly, the actual occurrence is not sufficiently large that would justify this extensive and self-declarative policy where anyone could make up whatever they or a parent wants.  I would strongly argue that sexuality is a learned response pushed by our media.  A media that glamorizes the different for shock value.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is no other gender no matter what someone may think or feel. It is very unloving to lead our children into a very dangerous life where they think they can change what they were born as.  In most cases the child will grow out of their need to be the other gender. Please watch \"In His Image\" that very lovingly shows how persons have lived as another gender and changed back.  We need to be giving these children help to accept their gender and thrive the way God meant it to be for them. I am very opposed to the radical agenda that Virginia has proposed for our Public School Students in regards to Transgender Rights.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The views articulated are harmful and contrary to the experience and views of most parents. For example, that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six ” is controversial.  And even more terrifying is the view that schools should be advocating for the (in many cases) IRREVERSIBLE \"gender transitions\" in young children. The model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children. And finally, schools have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students so 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.

Every school system in the Commonwealth should require professional development for staff members regarding the lgbtq+ community. From what I’ve witnessed, the children have mostly grown to accept their peers’ identity, it is the staff members (including teachers and counseling staff) that often do the most harm due to a lack of knowledge and understanding. We need clear guidance. Trans/non-binary students not only face harassment & discrimination at a much higher level than their cis peers, they also face increasingly high rates of suicide and self-harm. For many, the school is their only opportunity for a safe haven. Please move forward on state-wide clear directives for this population that so desperately needs our support.

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.

Parents have authority over their children, not schools\nBody:\nI am opposed to having schools decide for my children what is best, this is the first point. Parents should have ultimate authority over their children, knowledge of what happens in schools, knowledge of what their children 'declare' in school, knowledge about birth control and/or abortions and transgender medicines, surgeries , etc. that are sponsored, suggested or offered through schools. If the Virginia Dept of Education really looks at the scientific (non-woke) literature, child suffer immense crisis of identity when they become 'transgender', suicide rates increase, life long damage is done in many many cases. These kinds of policies should NOT be pushed in our VA schools, nor shoved down their - or our- the parents- throats. Why is this being done? To protect the incredibly small number of students who declare themselves as transgender, some not even knowing what it means? In doing so, you, the school system is ignoring and NOT protecting the majority of students. Where are their rights? Trends across the country signal their voice is ignored, dismissed or worse criticized for not being 'in trend' (or woke- enough), in with the times, in step - with what- the minority? Individualism is lost. There will be no freedom to be individual, because these policies will translate into \" you must agree with transgenderism, you must not make fun of, you must condone.\" Religious freedom to speak out or even to voice one's opinion - I am a Christian or Jew or Muslim and I believe there are two genders -a man is man and woman a woman , will be persecuted. We are already seeing this in a number of places. Why would Virginia, my lovely Commonwealth choose such destructive paths? Please listen to the people, the parents. Please do not enact these transgender policies. They are and will be extremely destructive for families and for our children and for the rights of parents to be the authority for their children.

Furthermore, it is up to the decision of every child to formulate his/her own sexual identity at whatever stage in his/her physical development they choose to decide \"who\" or \"what\" they are physically and mentally.  No governmental organization has the right to intrude in/on that process.  The proposed VDE regulations are therefore an illegal intrusion on a child's privacy and self identity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Not only is this an unwarranted intrusion into the most private areas of a woman's life, it is pandering to an extrememly small minority of people who are deeply confused and in need of psychological help. More people are coming forward every month to state that surgical mutilation of their bodies did not take care of the deep psychological problems which caused them to think they were females \"trapped in a male body.\" Recently a woman in France sued the doctors who cut off her breasts as part of her \"transition to a male.\" She has come to realize that at the age of sixteen, when this horrible mutilation was done to her, that she was not emotionally mature or stable enough to make such a decision.  She needed counseling, not mutilation. I strongly urge you to do the right thing and resist the emotional wailings of those who are neither scientific in their approach to life nor concerned with the damage that pandering to the idea of transgenderism as a reality will do to young people not mature enough to understand what they are doing. This entire scheme is being pushed by a lobby of homosexuals and other persons who are trying to normalize that which can never be considered normal.\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.

These policies undercut parents' involvement in the life of their own children at school, and endanger the bodily privacy and safety of all students.  These policies articulate views that are so far removed from the views of most parents in the Commonwealth of Virginia (and the country), and would only serve to create more confusion in the minds of our children who are constantly bombarded by outside forces seeking to divide the family.  Furthermore, no child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or any other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a parent of three, children as well, my experience and conventional wisdom belies the assumption that children have fixed gender identity by age 6.  No child should be forced to share a locker room, hotel room, or shower with a person of the opposite biological sex. Parents are the ultimate authority when i comes to raising their children.  No forced imperatives or practices regarding gender politics should prevail.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Through its blanket endorsement of views like these, the VDOE has lost all sense of reality. Schools have a duty to protect the safety of all students as well as their bodily privacy and dignity. 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 extremely uncomfortable and possibly even scared 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 encouraging the incredibly harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible “gender transitions”, especially since the vast majority of children who don’t transition grow out of these feelings and no longer want to as older teens or adults. The model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children, and on the rights of children to be protected by adults in authority. 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.

Elementary age children play doctor, house, and other forms of imagination play as they learn the roles in society. They even play as other animals. This doesn't mean they identify as that animal in later years. Therefore we have no business pushing children to identify as the opposite sex simply because they played at it trying to understand it.

However, these laws do more than attempt to prevent those things.  In fact, it can and should be argued that additional legislation is superfluous and not necessary.  All of the discrimination identified in these bills are already covered in other state and federal laws.  Instead, this bill forces an ideology that a person's sex can change and that society should embrace this at the expense of the personal rights of parents, and other children (Check out the lawsuits that have occurred in Connecticut, Lexington VA and other places.  Does Virginia want to invite more of these?  Just the monetary cost of these lawsuits would be enough to shy away from this bill). This ideology is not based on any scientific fact, but rather a societal movement pushed by the agenda of very few.  Furthermore, we should recognize the rampant damage that this ideology has on society, families, and the children who are encouraged to embrace a belief that they will be happier if they modify their external appearance to match their inner feelings.  As if the external should take precedent.  There are now thousands of individuals who regret their sex transitions.  They realize that changing their outward appearance was not a cure for the incongruent feelings they had.  Worse still, there is little evidence that transgender transitioning has any meaningful effect on the depression, isolation, and social awkwardness that individuals suffering from gender dysphoria struggle with.  They do permanent, irreversible, damage to their bodies, and feel no better.  The suicide rate for those suffering from gender dysphoria and those who transition is nearly identical.  As are many measures of mental health.  Transitions don't' work.  And yet, we are willing to accept this ideology and allow it to be taught to the most vulnerable and impressionable of the population.  This is nothing short of child abuse and it should be rejected wholeheartedly.\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.

The VDOE should not disregard the role of parents in public education. If VDOE approves the draft policies, they would undercut parents’ involvement in the life of their children at school, and endanger the bodily privacy and safety of all students. The proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six ” – that are 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. 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. These bills pre-suppose an ideology that is not shared by the majority of Americans. Thank you, Marianne Mazzatenta\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Supporting discord between a student and parents harms the family and parent-child relationship.  Parents should be fully informed at all times, doing otherwise infringes on the parents' First Amendment rights. Additionally, young children should not be forced to share restrooms, locker rooms, and overnight accommodations with someone of the opposite biological sex. There is a hightened risk of trauma in those situations. Additionally, there is risk to health and wellness of a child by encouraging them to choose their gender preference at such a young age. As a child I was a tomboy growing up and liked to play video games and sports with the boys in our neighborhood and didn’t like to play dolls with my sisters. My parents and teachers knew these things but did not encourage any thought around gender preference but encouraged me to do what I was interested in. I am grateful that I never gave any thought to the things children are exposed to today, which would have led to confusion and anxiety.  I am now a well educated, well employed FEMALE engineer and work in the data science realm with many male coworkers. Being interested in topics that are typically associated with males does not mean that one should be encouraged to choose a different gender, but they so often are today at too young an age to fully understand. They should be taught that they can be whatever they want to be and their gender does not prevent them from doing so. I grew up always fully confident in my identity, and parents are most capable of handling any situation in this realm, not schools.\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. We can accommodate Transgender students without traumatizing non-transgender students nor infringe on the parental responsibilities to instills morals and values.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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 have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and inherent dignity of all students. Parents and children should not be pitted against one another in this situation. The model regulations infringe upon the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children. So many children will feel afraid to go into a bathroom at school if they are not assured that someone of the opposite biological sex will not be in that room. These guidelines are absurd and have no place in any school at all. Boys are boys and girls are girls. Biological sex is determined at conception and cannot be changed because someone feels like they should be the opposite sex. The Virginia Department of Education has gone far beyond the path the General Assembly prescribed. No child should be forced to shower with, share a locker room or hotel room or other intimate setting with someone of the opposite sex. Schools should not be accommodating this harmful view during youth or encouraging these harmful irreversible \"gender transitions\" Parental rights are at stake. Schools cannot permit major life decisions to be made by children and adolescents without parental knowledge or permission. These model policies are not safe for children physically, mentally or spiritually. I strongly oppose these transgender policies. They are highly immoral, unethical and oppose common sense completely.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

What about my right to privacy especially if a male student who is not trans or nonbinary decides he wants to play a joke and goes into my locker room or bathroom?  Where are my rights? What about my right as a person to not feel safe in these situations that will go unchecked? \" Access to facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to a student's gender identity shall be available to all students.\" (policy draft p. 18) \"school staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom \" (p.18) Give trans and nonbinary their own bathroom........  what is so wrong with that?  You are still not hiding anything, everybody knows who is who......  keeps everyone happy that way.  Some kids will always be mean and treat others with disrespect, so keep trans and nonbinary's (some of my friends) safe from the bullies. You can't force this on kids......  some will never buy it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This is another liberal attempt to take over parental responsibilites and concerns.  These children need counseling, not accommodation for what is when it comes right down to it body dysmorphia. Additionally, I provide the following thoughts the proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six ” – that are 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. 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.
