A principal once said to me \"Children can not learn in our school if they do not feel welcome.\" This model policy is the first step in creating schools in Virginia that are inclusive and welcoming for transgender and non-binary students of all ages. It provides students with the self-agency they need to direct their coming-out and/or transition at school with the support of the adults in their lives. It will guide my district in developing their own policy. From a school employee's point of view, a policy similar to this will provide guidance and direction to follow in supporting trans and non-binary students in my school. It does a good job of looking out for the interests of students, families and school staff. Many thanks to the Virginia Department of Education and all who worked developing this model policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have worked with many LBGTQIA+ students over the years and have seen how difficult it can be for students who are gender nonconforming or transgender to navigate public schools when there are not policies in place to support them. Rates of depression, feelings of isolation, and real and present concerns about safety are everyday occurrences for students who attend school but do not identify as the gender they were assigned at birth. Policies like this one will not solve everything. There is no silver bullet. But this policy will go a long way to helping to make school safer for LGBTQIA+ students and it will mean that their rights are respected and their humanity is recognized. Isn't that what everyone wants? The right to be treated with dignity and respect.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My child is 10 years old and very clear on their identity. They receive unconditional support and acceptance at home, and, for the most part, their identity has been respected by school administration, fellow students, and parents in the community. I wish this would be the case for all trans students in the state of Virginia. Even with the support and acceptance, there have still been struggles. My child doesn't like to make waves or stand out. Bathroom accomodations have been a troubling subject for them. Being so young, I believe they were the first trans student the elementary school had had. While asserting that my child could use whatever bathroom they wanted, they were STRONGLY encouraged to use staff bathrooms. While my child didn't complain about this, they also never felt comfortable using the bathroom at school. They would get off the bus and run home to use the toilet. It was a somewhat small thing. My child didn't complain. But when I put myself in their shoes, I can't imagine that anyone can do their best learning when they can't take care of basic bodily needs. I support this guidance because I think every school will be aware of best practices, whether they've had out trans students or not. These \"small\" changes will have a lasting and positive impact on trans students. They will help cis students as well, by seeing a model of acceptance. When my student changed their name and pronouns, the school did clued into the changes right away. My child expected this, and I can only imagine how painful and erasing it would be for students who need to fight for their name and pronouns to be adopted. I want my student to be able to participate in all the enriching activities available to other students. I support the guidance regarding overnight trips, clubs, sports, and all the activities that all students should have access to. Affirming children's identities, affirming the diversity within Virginia schools, is beneficial to the entire community. This guidance sends a clear message to all students: you belong! You are valid! You can expect respect and affirmation. I'm also a parent to cis students in the county. For their sake, I want them to see their sibling treated with respect. I want them to enter the world understanding and accepting people different from them. So many of these lessons are learned in the early years in school. I want all Virginia schools to be places of equality and empowerment, and these guidelines do a wonderful job of ensuring that.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We need this policy to ensure that every single gender expansive student in Virginia has a safe, supported, and equitable school experience. Without a state policy, we will still have school districts who insist on withholding equal rights from trans students, as they did in the case of Gavin Grimm. Without a state policy, we will still have many trans students who are afraid to go to school, and will even self harm or consider suicide, because of bullying and discrimination. Thank you, Virginia lawmakers and Department of Education, for creating and adopting this policy, which will support, defend, and even save the lives of our beautiful transgender and nonbinary students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I expect it would actually save lives as well - fear and desperation often go hand in hand. I'm sure you are aware of the statistics regarding self-harm among trans youth; they aren't good.

I remember driving my kids to school the day after the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook elementary.   My eyes filled with tears of fear and anxiety imagining that they might not be safe at their sweet community elementary school.  I opened up my minivan door and my son hopped out, only to be greeted with open arms by his teachers, who said \"Good Morning!\"--just like they did on every other day of school.   In that moment I was flooded with relief and comfort knowing that no matter the situation, my children were surrounded by adults who cared for them just as I would.  School was a safe extension of my home, and that gave me and my kids so much comfort during a traumatic time. For LGBTQ+ kids, regular days at school can feel uncertain and fear-filled.  They're often navigating physical and psychological spaces that constantly scream: YOU ARE DIFFERENT!  THIS SPACE IS NOT FOR YOU!\"  Over time, this kind of marginalization can make kids feel as fear-filled and anxious as I was the day after the 2021 school shooting.  But unlike the random cruelty of violent events, the systemic obstacles and challenges facing LGBTQ+ kids are fixable.  With a relatively small allocation of resources, we can remove some of the things that make schools feel unwelcoming to LGBTQ+ students.   I want LGBTQ kids and their families to feel that same feeling of peace and belonging when they enter their school buildings.  Don't we want to do everything in our power to unmarginalize all children in our communities?  I urge you to consider the recommendations made in this guidance, and push forward for a safer, more inclusive public school system in VA.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

One of my children is often misgendered by strangers, when out in public. Knowing that he is safe to express himself at school--a place where the staff, teachers, and students in our community see him for who he is rather than how he looks--has been vital to him developing a sense of himself and the freedom to focus on learning in school. Every child in Virginia deserves the same treatment, starting with protection under the law. Thank you for moving this policy forward in 2021!\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 policies.

While there have been limited examples at various times in history, no nation has ever pushed the issue to the degree that the United States has these past several years. It is likely that the pendulum will swing in another direction and this will be looked back upon as error. I agree that everyone deserves protection from bullying and persecution, but to build in curricula that attempt to perpetuate this idea of gender fluidity is a great mistake. Good studies have shown that children are most successful when raised by a male and a female parent. Public policy should protect individuals, but should not erode the fundamentals of gender nor their importance to parenting. Thank you for your kind attention.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

While these are considered to cut back discrimination of people who consider themselves transgender, it is really flipping the whole system around to discriminate against anyone who has a different opinion. What happened to a free society where people can have their own opinion and be able to speak it freely without fear for their safety or risking retribution? It's actually mentioned in the 1st amendment of the Constitution, so I would recommend reading that and considering how you are violating the rights of millions of children and families by implementing these policies. It is NOT your right to invade the personal space of a minor, making them feel uncomfortable and unsafe in the presence of a different gender, ESPECIALLY without parental consent or permission. What is wrong with leaving things as they are??!! Why is it \"wrong\" to allow one person to feel uncomfortable by \"forcing\" them to use the bathroom around people they don't want to....but it's somehow not considered wrong to allow them to make others uncomfortable by switching bathrooms??! None of this makes any sense and I hope you will realize this. If a person wants to do certain things in the privacy of their home, that should not involve other people and their innocent children. If a child wants to change their name, that should be between them and their parents until they reach adulthood. I think the educational system should re-focus on the study of real academics, not radical social ideologies. And let's consider teaching respect for ALL people, not just minorities and people who are considered \"different.\"\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Most children are happy with their gender; how is it beneficial to impressionable young minds to encourage the idea of gender fluidity at school? Children do not belong to the state, or to the school system; why is it considered helpful to kids to reduce the role of a child's parents? Surely the idea that no one in school should be bullied over gender confusion or gender identity can be taught without pushing more controversial ideas. Most children are comfortable in their bodies. I shudder to think of the troubles society will reap in the future if the \"guidance\" in this document is visited on young Virginians. Further, the proposed guidance puts a tremendous burden on school officials and teachers and will create all kinds of difficulties in implementation. I wish Virginia would focus on education, not indoctrination.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There needs to be protection for sure for anyone who is being bullied in any case. Parents should be the first level of authority within reason of a situation. The public servants are to be there to help, not to create division and blindness in the relationship between the child and parent. This is a violation of privacy of other students depending on how far this is carried in a given situation with gender-specific facilities and dress. Because of the continued development in children, these policies create chaos and confusion as children are constantly changing. I agree that hostilities should be vanquished, but this is also creating hostility for people with different thoughts on these things and one human and their identity is not more important than another human and theirs. These policies are creating one group of people to bow down to the other without any voice. This is wrong. This is the very thing that we all despise, complete subjection of one's views over another.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It goes against Biblical teaching as in Genesis it says \"God made them male and female\".   Transgenderism is a mental disorder.  Trans students need to have conversion therapy. The more society keeps saying to students that it is OK to be trans, the higher the likelihood that a student will think that being trans will make them happy.  Sadly this is not the case.  Instead the student falls into despair and commits suicide.  Please watch the new DVD \"In His Image\" by American Family Studios.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Sexual identify and gender issues are not matters for schools to mandate - this is an area that should be left to parents and families. In addition these policies are completely unworkable and will force students, faculty and administrators to comply with a view of sex and gender even if it directly conflicts with their own fundamental beliefs. The policies provide 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.

Public school staff have no business withholding information from parents about their children, \"disciplining\" their children for using proper biological terms to identify others, or reporting parents for teaching their child basic science. Teach science in the schools and save psychology and psychoanalysis for the psychiatrist's office. Children should always be taught to respect every human being, however respect goes both ways. Political correctness is so concerned with being sure not to offend transgender students in any way possible, that it has completely ignored those of us who cannot in good conscience support such a worldview being forced on our children. If you truly support freedom and diversity of thought and expression, then you will consider the effect these guidelines will have upon those parents and students who cannot comply with them because of their faith.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The proposed \"Guidance Document\" unfortunately does not deal adequately with the root of the issues. Gender dysphoria is unequivocally a psychiatric disorder and has to be addressed within this context. Unless a school can ensure that any given student struggling with GD is in the care of an accredited psychiatrist, experienced in the management of teens with GD, attempts at \"enabling\" or \"empowering\" these students will only backfire. While it is certainly important for schools to create a supportive and harassment free environment for students struggling with GD, the open ended tolerance of any title /name the student wishes to be addressed will only further isolate & harm these students, and leave room for potential abuse. Likewise, the coercive & punitive articles aimed at both faculty & students who fail to adhere to these policies will likewise result in sowing disdain for the very students the Guidance Document seeks to help.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

First and foremost, as a strong and committed Christian, I hold firmly to the Word of God that He created male and female, and that the gender at birth is His intended plan for that individual. I have compassion for anyone who may express confusion regarding their “feelings” about their gender. This is not unusual for young children, who are growing and developing mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Unfortunately, through media and school education curricula children are exposed to subtle or not so subtle suggestions that promote further confusion. Secondly, exposure in school bathrooms and locker rooms and showers constitutes invasion of privacy for those who do not share the “feelings” of the gender confused person and can promote voyeurism, and with older students, situations of assault. Thirdly, the confusion over pronouns with potential for punishment/prosecution is particularly confusing for young children. Since the transgender students may choose to switch back and forth, or continue to change their preferred pronouns, this enables them to manipulate others, and is exceedingly unfair to those others. The confusion that would be caused by these suggested guidelines for the children, teachers, administrators, parents and community could lead to irreparable social, mental, emotional and spiritual damage. It  is for these reasons that I object to and cannot support these guidelines. Six of my eight grandchildren and my great grandson would be affected, and I therefore object to making the many students make such extreme changes and mandatory adjustments for the few who may demand those changes and adjustments. I ask that you remove this proposal and reconsider for the sake of the majority of students, school personnel, families and the community at large.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

SO MUCH SUPPORT! ALL THE SUPPORT!\nBody:\nAs the parent of a transgender child, I am so glad to finally see some guidance for schools. This will help educators be better prepared when faced with situations that are likely very new to them. It will help parents feel less overwhelmed in knowing that policies already exist to keep their child safe. It will help students feel protected by a system that shapes so many aspects of their lives. And it will foster a sense of inclusivity that will hopefully soon erase the sense of fear and anger that can often arise when anything LGBTQ+ is discussed in a public setting. Setting a baseline saying “we support this because it is right” will set the tone for a kinder environment and a kinder future. Please know that the work you all have done and continue to do means the world to so many. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Protecting our children, all of our children, is one of our most important jobs. Whatever your thoughts on gender identity, I hope we can agree on that much.  Trans children are one of the most vulnerable groups of children in the country. They are victims of bullying, harassment, and beatings. They feel unsafe at school, because they are unsafe at school. I saw this abuse when I was a child, and while I’m glad to hear from friends that there has been some change for the better over the years, school is still far too unsafe for our transgender and nonconforming children.  A large percentage of these kids have tried to kill themselves due to the abuse they suffer for at the hands of those who hate and mistreat them for not conforming to the gender they were assigned at birth. As an adult, as a mom, and as a woman of faith, I have a responsibility to speak out to make the world a better, safer place for kids today. The good news is that when trans students are accepted, supported, and cherished, as all children should be, in other words, when they're not in an unhealthy environment, they will be happy and healthy and grow into happy and healthy adults. That's what well-substantiated, scientific, peer-reviewed research shows us. Affirming and supporting our trans children just as they are strengthens their families' ability to support them as they grow up. There is plenty of misunderstanding and fear about transgender issues. Bullying, harassment, beatings, and abuse won't stop unless we take action. They won't stop if we ignore the plight of these children and simply hope for the best.  I appreciate that Virginia is putting into place policies that provide clear guidance about how to make our schools more safe, supportive, and inclusive.  Teachers and staff who model how to accept schoolmates as they are will help all of our children make school safer for everyone.  I'd like to thank the Virginia Department of Education for working on this Model Policy in support of transgender and gender non-conforming students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are no real boundaries and will make it easier to offend a student at the whim of what they choose to be that day. And ALL counseling to encourage this behavior or medical procedures/medications/hormone treatments must be revealed to the parents. The Virginia government should not be responsible for the costs of these procedures that have shown in many European studies to cause permanent mental damage to those that undergo this methodology. Parents need to know so that they can monitor their child's health. Family members could sue for damages, also. There are SO many repercussions of 1. not telling the parents 2. mental stability of the students 3. jeopardy that the teachers may lose their jobs if they offend a student just because they don't know how the student wishes to be addressed from one day to the next and 4. anyone can use whatever bathroom or locker room they feel like for the day which makes some young women and young men feel unsafe and violated. There are so many chances for teachers, schools, and DOE being sued by the students, parents, or other family members by this vaguely worded \"treatment of transgender students.\". This policy would also violate the first amendment if a teacher or another student has a religious belief that this type of behavior is wrong and has to comply with this policy. I highly recommend that this proposal does not become permanent.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is no way I'm sending my kids to public school with these ridiculous and dangerous policies. No one is going to punish my kids for not calling a student by their preferred pronouns. That is a complete violation of their 1st amendment rights. These policies put kids at risk. When did school become so focused on appeasing CHILDREN opposed to teaching them how to survive and succeed in the world.

The idea that a small verbal minority can come along and \"wish\" that away is absurd.  Parents have always been the resposible party in civil society to teach these subjects.  I stongly object to our children being indoctrinated (read \"brain washed\") by \"educators\" (not their parents). Women's rigjts have come along way in the last 30 years. To have a biological boy take away opportunities from girls sports and deny biological girls the hard fought rights they have earned is criminal. Do NOT change the policy!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This is for parents to teach their children. The school is not a church or parent. The schools are supposed to educate children not proselytize. Those in positions of authority in the school classroom and halls have the greater responsibility to demonstrate and show by example how we love one another, rather than bring society down to its basest nature and tendencies. This idea in the air is absurd. The absurdity is exemplified by Congressman Emanuel Cleaver closing a prayer with \"Amen and Awomen\" and the jokes that followed, i.e. is it Ramen or Rawomen, is it Menu or Womenu, is it Hispanic or Herspanic, pimento cheese or piwomento cheese? What has happened to intelligent conversations, dignity, and class and aspiring to a higher standard--inspiring and calling children to their best self? We have fallen so low! What you're doing is a crime--child abuse--taking advantage of impressionable young people, which it appears is the goal here.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It won't be safe because the teacher's jobs are endangered for making a mistake while trying to refer to children who likely don't even understand what they're asserting. And it will not be nurturing because you're allowing children to continue to play in a virtual world when the outcomes have real world consequences. These proposed policies and ideas are not positive for students, they're not safe for teachers, and they're not nurturing for the students. We should have policies that affirm their biological identity, punish bullying period, the reason of bullying is irrelevant, and empower teachers to be caring, but realistic.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Do not force teachers, parents and students to go along with your ideological agenda that we must all label everyone into a 'right' and 'wrong' group, further pushing society into decline and promoting division and hatred. If we do not agree with this ideology, that doesn't equal discrimination. In fact, you are the ultimate hypocrite! This policy is completely discriminatory against anyone who doesn't conform. At least try to save face and include a religious exemption. In fact, not only are you disseminating an anti-Christian mindset but remember, resulting suicides are a very real and increasing statistic in people who are transgender, and you are only fueling the fire towards it for those students who are in need of love and attention. Don't encourage the pain and suffering they are going through now. These negative outcomes occur many years later, so of course there would be no recourse on you for the damage you could potentially do with the approval of this policy. In addition, you are also absolutely overstepping your boundaries when it comes to my child's upbringing. You have no right to teach my child that this immoral behavior is okay and should be celebrated and embraced, and face consequences if you disagree. Even if he requests another pronoun, concealing this from me??...this is dangerous, besides dishonest. And by the way, isn't the education of our children supposed to concentrate on the truth about biology, not the influence on it via societal values or lack thereof? And why is it okay now to change definitions all in the name of inclusion? Diversity and inclusion means excluding those who object to ideological uniformity. There is a fundamental breakdown of our school system if you disagree with this statement. And how does this policy teach our kids to be upstanding, truthful, and moral citizens? Why is it that you do not support a strong family unit? You have totally missed the mark if you are trying to insert yourself into our homes, challenging parents' rights. In fact, you would go behind parents' backs and actually call Child Protective Services crying 'child abuse' on me because I read the Bible to my child where St. Paul writes through the power of God, the Holy Spirit, saying that this conduct is a sin. Instead, I suggest you repent for your sins and not worry about my own or my child's. God created everything, sees everything, but still forgives everyone who asks. Finally, here are TEN VALID reasons if you haven't read this already from the Virginia Family Foundation. Yeah, they are watching you too! 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)...

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 ...

Many children love to have their emotional needs met through attention-getting behaviors.  What would be the response of biological males being on a swim team with a biological female who identifies as male and goes topless at swim meets?  How many incidents will take place in rest rooms and locker rooms and showers when the biological opposites are mixed to achieve emotional equality, when physical equality does not exist?  Whatever has happened to protecting the innocence of children until they reach a legal age that allows them to be responsible and make decisions that will serve them well?  Society protects children through expectations regarding child care, nutrition, safety in cars, inoculations, smoking, alcohol consumption, driving, etc.  Why are we letting them, and in some instances encouraging them, to make decisions that will be devastating to them later?  Are some parents using their children for their own emotional gratification?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is the way their oppressive societies are run. Take the parents completely out of a child's life and make the \"State\" their parent. The inmates are running the asylum. Rather than giving them a valuable education in serious, challenging subjects, you are focusing on nothing but what a student wants to be called, his or her sexual identity. You are squandering these precious and short years by preparing these children to be self-obsessed, entitled, spoiled adults of the future who think they are the center of the Universe, and who are not prepared to face any difficulty, rejection, or struggle that will happen in their lives. You are not helping them. You are crippling them while making a mockery of the public school system. But most damaging, you are destroying the family unit, which the Bible states is the way for us to grow up nurtured and loved.

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.

These policies directly and substantially undermine parental rights and responsibilities, granting the school personnel authority to bypass parents when dealing with their children on extremely personal and sensitive matters. Furthermore, these policies cater to the changing whims of students, making it impossible for educators to interpret and enforce these policies. Indeed, how can teachers do their jobs if they have to worry every day about being reported by an “offended” student. These policies fly in the face of biology, adult authority, and common sense. I urge you to remove this policy guidance, and allow districts, in collaboration with parents, to determine more measured and specific policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Young people change their direction during those many years...hating themselves, feeling insecure, on emotional rollercoasters.  To restrict them to an opinion one day when they will change a days, weeks or months later is ridiculous.  They need to get to know themselves, make new connections and new friends, and not be indoctrinated.  Teachers and counselors need to be good listeners, giving them good advice, but not restricting them to single opinions.  They are learning what it means to be male or female.  That takes some a long time.  Many into their twenties.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

We have laws for a reason, so everyone can live together in harmony without one group having advantages that disadvantage other groups.  It's like changing other laws every day; how would we react to speed limits changing every day on the roads we use, and getting fined for breaking the law when we did not know it changed?

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. My concern would be if I had a daughter and they were allowing boys in the the locker room and bathrooms of the school. You never know some kids who are not transgender will pretend to be to just get a look at a female. 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. What is happening to my rights as a parent?  This is insane.  You wonder why public school enrollments are going down, this is why! here are so many chances for teachers, schools, and DOE being sued by the students, parents, or other family members by this vaguely worded \"treatment of transgender students.\". This policy would also violate the first amendment if a tea\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Even if it were to be a \"reasonable\" concept, which it is NOT, why is our government insisting on forcing particular language and ultimately thinking upon the next generation?  How does forcing impressionable children to accept and encourage a transgender lifestyle make us more compassionate or equal?  It doesn't.

The law has governing boundaries on driving, alcohol,  tattoos,  insurance benefits, and dependency.  These are in place because the parent is to be in a shepherding role, a training role until maturity has been reached.  By undermining this, you are claiming to be the parent.  If this is so, then where were you in the middle of the night as they cried as an infant, or where were you when we had to go school shopping and pay for materials?  How about when death hit our family,  were you there to comfort and console?  No, because that is the privilege and right given to parents and families.  A move to change such regulations places entitlement in a child's hands who will still need to run to their caregiver, their guardian, their parents when the world fails them.  Back up! Go back to the core! Let families love and love well, even walking kids through hard things.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It’s no ones business. Class rooms are for teaching our children math, English, history... it is NOT to be used as a platform to express ones sexuality. Teachers have enough to deal with, you shouldn’t add this ludicrous policy to their plates too!! Exactly when are they suppose  to actually find the time to  teach! I hope you realize there are now hundreds of thousands  of kids that identify with different animal species (I’m not kidding look it up, Apparently all teenagers know about this) So my question is.., where does it end???  My children are told to keep their Christian views to themselves, they weren’t even allowed to label an art picture a “Christmas tree” because it might offend someone. Well I’M offended now! So where are MY rights?  You can no longer refer to the holiday this country has always celebrated ( the birth of Christ) as  Christmas break!!  ... Freedom of  religion is what this country was founded on .... not the ever changing trends of the transgenders!! If you allow this there will be no limits to the depth we will sink. Once again the SCHOOLS are not the time or place to debate whether your son or daughter feels like a girl or boy!  If this passes... I’ll be home schooling!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The idea that a school could be allowed and sanctioned by the state to choose a child’s wishes over the guidance of parents is a terrible precedent to even consider. With respect to access to facilities, biology not self identification needs to be determinant for minors. Furthermore, these guidelines run roughshod over the religious beliefs of any school employee who believes in biology as the way identity is determined in accordance with a designed order established by a creator.  Male and female is not as fluid as these guidelines allow for.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If these laws go into effect, the only thing a young straight man has to do is claim he \"feels\" like a girl and then nothing can be done about his entry into any women's locker room he pleases. This is going to end up putting our young women at risk of (at the least) unwanted sexual attention and no right or grounds to complain about it at all. I ask you, \"HOW IS THIS EMPOWERING FOR WOMEN?!\" As a society, we tell all women (and rightly so) that if they are being taken advantage of, they need to stand up for themselves and reach out for help. How would this legislation help that? It wouldn't! There is absolutely nothing stopping a man who has ill intent from simply walking into a women's locker room and taking advantage of the situation. As a future father, I VEHEMENTLY oppose this legislation through and through. That's just how I feel about page 18. The rest of the legislation takes away a parent's ability to parent due to the fact that the state is allowed to hide all manner of conversations regarding sexual orientation from ever reaching the ear of the parent. Absolutely ridiculous.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

However, this response is not only ultimately damaging for them, but also a real abrogation of the rights of others. In no other situation do we allow minors to make an assertion and force adults to accept it without question. Adults have a responsibility to direct, guide and nurture  youth through difficult experiences. This proposal forces adults to be negligent in that duty. Further, despite citing the first amendment right of freedom of speech, no thought appears to be given to the very notion of forcing school staff to speak a certain way. Is there any other time we force people to use words they believe to be false? This proposal will only deepen divisions in our state and country and further alienate many people from the public school system. I wholeheartedly call on you to reject this guidance document.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It appears that you believe that all students are perfect examples of humanity who never take advantage of a situation to create problems for others, particularly those in authority. Do you honestly believe that students will not say they have changed gender just to annoy a teacher or administrator from day to day? Do you really believe that teenage boys seeking a sexual thrill are not going to invade a girls' restroom or locker room just because they can by saying they are transgender? Do really want to create the scenario where a student who is unhappy with a grade or a criticism from a teacher can force the dismissal of a teacher on the basis that their gender has not been respected--with no substantiation? How many teachers' lives have been destroyed by unsubstantiated claims of \"sexual harassment\" in the past? What are you thinking when you suggest that all parents (other than yourselves of course) are a threat to the identity of their children? That parents should not be notified when a child is making a life changing, possibly life-threatening decision is ludicrous. If a child has a fever, a sore throat, or any number of other minor illnesses, teachers, school administrators are expected to notify the parents immediately. Why not here? Do you assume that most parents, outside the VDOE, do not love their children and want what is best for them in their lives? Children with legitimate identity issues need help, particularly psychological help, from as many sources as possible. Children who are taking advantage of a situation, such as these proposed policies, to create problems for others or just to pull a prank, should not be given opportunity to do so in the name of equality or social justice. There is no equality or justice in destroying lives of other people, on a teenage whim. Policies should be equitable to all--teachers, students and administrators. These proposals are not. If implemented they will create infinite discord in classrooms at all levels, but particularly at the middle and high school levels. Go back to the drawing board. Put yourself and your family in the middle of this situation and come up with policies that make sense and help more than hurt the children and families of Virginia.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Crazy to think that we are... God has created two genders that we see in Genesis Male & Female.  To teach our children differently is to disregard the scripture and will lead to God bringing judgement on us as a commonwealth in an even greater way.  If an individual chooses to participate then let that judgment fall on them. But if we begin to legally agree or allow through governmental approval we will bring then judgment upon our state. Think logically.  Where will this leave humanity in 50 years when our children have had a sex change and can no longer produce offspring? This is where this is leading. Governmental approval without the parents consent for a sex change. Would you be here is you parents were allowed to have hormonal injections? Our children need to be taught truth from God's word.  This is the Truth that has lasted for generations.  Do your history and see what happened to Sodom & Gomorrah in the middle east.  It was destroyed - completely.

First of all, any policy from the Department of \"Education\" that refers to \"sex assigned at birth\" needs to be put on hold until our \"educators\" can review basic biology. Sex is determined by chromosomes - not a doctor or mid-wife crying out \"It's a boy!\" or \"It's a girl!\" Well before genitalia develops, the XX or XY chromosomes are already in place to determine the sex of the child. Obviously, this policy is not about biological sex but perceived gender. The language should still reflect science accurately where possible. Since gender by today's standards is prone to change at a moment's notice with no obvious outward signals, asking educators to address such a fluid issue is too much of a burden to place on anyone. I suggest we agree to acknowledge some children may feel differently from their appearance but while they are a child, stick with what is knowable and defined. We place age limits on many issues that require a minimum amount of experience and maturity. Let's decide gender \"choices\", at least within the confines of our schools, must wait until post high school. Is that fair? It's reasonable. Children learn to wait for a whole host of opportunities until an appropriate age or the completion of basic schooling. Meanwhile, let's educate our children and leave parents or counselors to address typical sexual or \"gender\" confusion and questions - not teachers! If these policies are approved, we will lose many good teachers who simply will not be able work within the scope of these requirements - not because they are hateful, but because it is an impossibility. I suggest we get back to figuring out the basic mission of the schools and work on addressing that.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Truly using a crisis to government advantage.  This guidance document is very one sided and doesn't seem to explore other view points. The document seems to assume that: 1.) The state and strangers at school know what is better for children than their own parents and 2.)  That children make the best decisions.  I think most can agree that these assumptions are false.  These suggested policies do not take into consideration the feelings of males and females that are being subjected to the so called trans in their bathroom, locker room, or sports team.  I know being trans is fairly \"trendy\" right now.  Gender should not be a trend.  I think these agendas are forgetting how serious these types of decisions are.  Gender decisions can have life long consequences and should not be left up to a child and the state, which is kind of what these policies are suggesting.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Students in elementary and secondary schools are children. They are growing and going through so many hormone changes and super-impressionable stages. By taking away more parental rights about what our young impressionable minds learn about and are exposed to leaves parents in the dark when their child comes home confused about things they should never be learning about at such young ages. The extremely small percentage of people that consider themselves transgender do not warrant any changes in our children's schools. We should always be on the lookout for bullying as no child should be bullied or brutally bullied as was my case. We need to remember that as children are growing and going through puberty they are and will be confused about themselves often. These feelings will not be solidified until they are in their twenties, not when they are 10! With the extremely small percentage of people with these feelings, we cannot bully the other 99.999 percent because one or two kids in a school feel this way. By allowing them to use the teacher's bathrooms the problem is solved. Now if the 30 percent of children that are bullied and feel like they have to do something, \"or else\", could get this much attention! Bullying in general has not been handled in any meaningful way! We cannot take away any parental rights, or interfere with their religious views. Every parent has the right to oversee every part of their child's education and their life choices until they are an adult!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

ESV A teacher or student with a Judeo-Christian foundation will be subject to discriminatory behavior by those claiming to be \"trans\".  Male one day, female the next, neither the day after, both, who knows?   Students who are accused will not have the right to have their parents present to defend them.  This is discrimination.   Our society has been moving to eliminate discrimination by eliminating labels, such as oriental, colored, poor, disabled, retarded, etc. And this has been good.  Now, labels are all important if you are trans!  Illogical.  All people should be treated with respect.   In a society that constantly screams “ follow the science\", and \"I believe in science\", when it comes to the 'trans' population, science is totally ignored.  Does anyone even remember basic biology?   This policy is rife with problems that will only cause more confusion, conflict, legal issues, and a further undermining of an already troubled education system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Now, you have moved to discriminate against ALL students as they would not be able to express being uncomfortable with changing in the same room as someone of the opposite gender. “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) 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. “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) 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.

It is unfair to everyone except the student.  The teachers will never know what gender the student is on any given day.  The teachers have enough to deal with on a daily basis and do not need the distraction of having the students decide what gender they want to be today.  Also, teachers are not being given the option of opting out of the policy even if it goes against their conscience. The bathrooms and shower areas should be restricted to the students that are biologically the gender they were born with.  Otherwise boys or girls could be deciding on a gender to be voyeuristic.  Students would have no privacy as they undress or shower or use the bathroom. Gender discussions should be done at home with the parents.  Students are still under the guidance of the parents they live with, and the school should not have the authority to undermine that.  Parents might not even be aware their child has a gender problem if this is allowed by the school.  Students might be unduly influenced to make gender decisions by their peers when they really had no inclinations to do it on their own. Giving the minority rights that take away rights from the majority do not seem to be in the best interest of equality.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I spent many years in the military with transgenders and gay, as the govenrment used the military as an opportunity for experimentation.   I defended then and still defend the ability for them to freely participate like everyone else, but reject that being gay or transgender has anything to do with their qualification/s. I have participated in Training and Development as a career for 50 years; in the federal goverment, State Government, Business and Industry, and the local school system.  This blatent indoctrination will contribute nothing to developing a ready work force or a stronger nation. I am opposed to the government forcing me to act or not act in a certain way (allowing that it does not infringe upon other people's God-given, constitutional rights), particularly when they restrict my access to information. Ignoring physical differences and particularly the impact it will have on children is more than egregious.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Crazy!\nBody:\nHow can we, professing educated adults, support this illness of gender dysphoria? Transgender is an illness.  The children, specifically ages 0-21, are not physically or cognitively capable of choosing their gender after conception.  Simply put... none of us can biologically change our gender.  It is naturally impossible and, if you really seek evidence, it is medically impossible. So, my question remains: How can we, supposedly educated adults, support this illness of gender dysphoria? Transgender is an illness.  The job of the education system is to educate students with ‘truth’ not deform their minds promoting their deformed ‘ideas’ or ‘obsessions’ (i.e. ‘I don’t want to be a girl/boy.’ ‘I am fat, ugly, stupid.  I am not valued so I’ll just commit suicide.’ etc). Is anorexia a supported ‘idea’ in the education of our children or is it presented as an ‘eating disorder’?  Note: It is a proven eating disorder caused by mental illness. Many more such proven examples can be presented to debunk the transgender agenda (i.e. drug abuse, alcoholism, pedophilia, etc.). We the People must return to the simple and teach the children intellectually not promote their ideas and/or the deformed ideas of cancel culture groups that could care less about the children and the family unit. This bill will only promote the illness and ultimate destruction and death of the children and their families suffering with its physical, mental, and emotional effects. Should you need evidence of studies to prove the above, do your homework.  You are the elected official put in office by “We the People”.... do your due diligence and defend the children and their families suffering with transgenderism.  Do not be negligent to deny it as an illness and get help to the children suffering with the promotion of their developmental ‘ideas’ which cause them harm. When we entertain ideas, do we not promote them? Kinda crazy to think that we as a society are even debating such a simple issue that, bluntly put, merely needs solid counseling from God fearing parents, families, teachers, counselors, politicians, etc.     PERIOD Prayers, Opal Morgan Colossians 3:23-24 Ephesians 6\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The legitimate interests of all the parties have not been considered in the rush to attend one particular subset. For example, these policies ignore rights of freedom of thought and religion. They assert as fact that \"gender identity is an innate part of a person's identity\" but offer no evidence to the truth of this assertion. They propose isolating and excluding parents who may have information about the student unavailable to school personnel and such ignorance may result in harm to the student. The policies assume good motivation on the part of all claiming transgender status without considering that some may have salacious or other motivation in making such claims. On the other hand, the policies assume bad motivation of the part of anyone who has difficulty complying. Our habitual language doesn't change on a dime and use of the \"wrong\" pronoun is as likely to be a slip as to be intentional. Anxiety about being accused of harassment may cause some to avoid speaking to or about anyone transgendered, excluding them in order to protect oneself. These policies are like gasoline on the fires of the culture wars. They will also result in an exodus from the public schools to safer environs.

These guidelines are tyrannical, unscientific, and morally wrong. Any boy could claim to be a girl and go into the girl's locker room. Students could sleep together on overnight outings and teachers would be unable to object or inform parents about it. It puts students at risk instead of protecting them. It is not based on real science, but is directly opposed to science. It does not reflect the majority views of our society. It forces people to use certain speech at risk of punishment, which is tyranny. Most importantly, it violates God's moral standards and encourages sexual perversion. People who are confused about their gender have a psychological disorder, and the rest of society should not be forced to participate in their confusion. They should be protected and treated with dignity as human beings, but these policies are not about protection. They are forcing a worldview that many of us do not agree with. You will continue to lose many students from the public school system if you push this agenda. You are hurting and not helping your students, families, and society as a whole. I oppose these guidelines.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I am so sadden to hear this is being considered.  As part of the Church, I apologize for allowing the world to create bandaids instead of healing and deliverance.  This is an issue the Church has yet to understand as well as the world.  First and foremost this is a sin issue, which means it's an reflection of an individual's decision being brought to light and instead of repentance, that individual is trying to force their views on others. God created sex to allow His creation to \"produce after its kind.\" When anything is misused, it causes harm. I acknowledge since the fall of mankind, the things God has called good have been perverted. God's laws were created to protect us not control us. Many of these children are victims of abuse. A better idea is to help them heal and discover who they were created to be. Teach our children to except themselves as well as the fact we all are different.  No longer allow what we do - our actions and choices be the component in which we define ourselves. We are created and defined by God for His purpose.  When we fall short, He forgives and shows us a better way to ensure a blessed life as well as safety. Live a life of intentional forgiveness not bitterness. Teach the children the identity of God based upon His word, then they will understand who they are. God is love and desires good not evil to permeate our lives. For the sake of each child - yours included, VOTE NO!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Boys are boys and girls are girls.  Period.\nBody:\nIt is not right to teach our children that they can be other than the way they are born.  You cannot change the truth into whatever you desire.  What is natural is natural and what is unnatural is at the least, a strange hybrid, and at the most, an outright abomination. It is not right to expect parents to allow their children to be used as experiments by the medical community, the psychologists, the atheists, and the pedophiles.  It is not right to subject children to the horrors of sexual exploitation in the name of education.  People don't have to be educated about how to have sex or what kind of sex to have.  A proper education would be to instruct children on how to protect their own body from unwanted demands or invasions.  A teen-aged child should hear about abstinence, not excess. Since we supposedly want everyone to be heard, why don't (or won't) you hear the voices of those who object to transgender policy making?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This proposal will not leave it up to debate.  It will decide against the will of the people and parents and dictate what it is we are to believe and how we are to act.  It will tell parents what is acceptable.  It is no less than a trojan horse of immense proportion that goes beyond the schoolyard directly into our homes and threatens the way we raise our children. One example of the far reaching consequences of such policies would be that parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex would be at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect by the school. Not since the beginning of human existence has there been a threat to the understanding of human sexuality as male and female. You don't have to be a Christian to understand this truth. The fact that all people are either male or female is in harmony with natural law which every reasonable person accepts. The hypocracy of this effort to re-define human sexuality is in fact that it excludes the area of athletics. What? How on earth do you choose where you want to apply this policy and where you don't?  The implications are obvious.  But don't think it will stop at athletics.  If it all started in the bathrooms and locker rooms it will not stop until it has encompassed every facet of our children's lives, on and off the field and in and out of our schools and homes.  Something tells me they aren't learning about the dangers of Marxism is history class.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I believe education starts at home, and to think parents would be removed from having the most intimate knowledge of their child would not protect the child, but rather create further divisions between parent and child. I cannot support these policies due to the administrative and daily burden it would create, as well as the ethical complication of removing the parent from parenting.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Both my children are public school students in Virginia. I am disheartened to see the number of vitriolic and hateful comments here, but I know I should not be. People fear what they do not understand, and the first step in understanding is creating a safe atmosphere for people to learn. It is impossible to learn more -- at school, or about our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters -- when 84% of any group reports feeling unsafe at school. Schools should be safe spaces for ALL students, full stop. I am a Christian, and Jesus makes himself very clear to me in Mark 12: 30-31. He does not say love my neighbor as myself as long as I'm comfortable with my neighbor, as long as my neighbor lives how I think they should, or even if I know my neighbor is living by His commandments (In fact, Jesus had something to say about judgement in Matthew, 7:1-3). He tells me to love my neighbor as myself. The same expectations I have for my own safety and acceptance apply to everyone. Virginia has a terrible and shameful legacy of segregation and discrimination within education, going so far as closing schools and denying children an education, because of bigotry and white supremacy. The damage that was done decades ago by school closure and racist textbooks and more still lingers, and we will be working to address it for decades more. The issues LGBTQ+ individuals face today are different but still have similarities. We should learn from our past to prevent future shameful and damaging discrimination, especially when it impacts children. Thank you for your attention, and I will be following the resolution of these model policies. Leanne Fox\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

On the other hand as the \"anointed geniuses\" impose more of their lunacy on parents perhaps they will finally see the light and begin to withdraw their children and cause the collapse of the bloated government school system. The cowardice of the government officials during the pandemic of not allowing in-person schooling despite the recommendations of the CDC (the approved government science) began to open the eyes of many parents who now realize that these high-salaried officials care more about \"the public school system\" than children. To reiterate - these recommendations are contrary to science and common sense.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We believe human rights means everyone should be treated with respect and dignity regardless of their gender identity. Sadly, my son has seen the struggles his friends have gone through with name-calling and he even experienced blatant disrespect from a school counselor in elementary school. We must stand together to ensure everyone has the same safe education opportunities.  I support this draft guidance because I want my son and all of his friends to be in a school environment that is safe and welcoming for everyone.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We would NEVER accept this for a child who identifies as fat and ugly, then let them continue on a destructive mental path toward anorexia or bulimia or other harmful patterns because their mind (mental disorder) tells them they are something only they see/identify as.

Guidelines such as these should, in my opinion be based on love and respect for others rather than dictatorial. They should not be a source of indoctrination for children as these would be. They should be based on tolerance and individual rights rather than radical theories. They should include provisions and policies that contain in that include guidelines definite distinctions between make and female. While respect and acceptance are important.

However, these policies also make it so that it is not allowed to say anything negative about these policies within the school. Furthermore they allow for these young children to transition without the parents’ knowledge which possibly could seriously damage this young child with the schools consent in the name of freedom. These policies go against the protection of all children and seek to harm many for the appearance of tolerance.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Some have very supportive and empowering families, others feel unsafe in their homes and with their parents. While we can't make everyone be a good parent, school should be a safe place for ALL students. None can be successful and perform as expected if they don't have a trusted adult on their side or feel protected. It breaks my heart to work with children who fear every word they say at home and every email they send, monitored by parents, will be used against them. This policy will make our trans kid feel seen and affirmed, as cis kids are on a daily basis. To anyone who feels this policy violates your beliefs or rights, please know it doesn't affect YOU. Not everyone in this state practices Christianity, and they should not be held to your personal standards. The first amendment makes an excellent read--you should check it out. Please also educate yourself on the difference between gender and sexuality.\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 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}}

As bad money drives good money out of circulation, this bad idea likewise serves only to deprive students of appreciation for truth, beauty, and goodness, which real education inspires.  There is no greater purpose to this agenda than to drive true education out.  This is why it comes cloaked in glittering but illogical cliches about \"equality and justice,\" themselves pinched counterfeits of the great Theological and Cardinal Virtues.  With advanced studies in literature at UVA and other national institutions, I am terribly familiar with the purpose of the ideologies--critical theory and critical discourse analysis (CDA)--that hatched this proposal as well as the hobbled minds that propose it.  State manipulation of grammar is one step toward the intentional indoctrination and manipulation of perceptions and consequently of behavior contrived for recruiting the young to a vision of misery.  It is thus a form of indoctrination and ideological propaganda annihilating the family to target the children.  It serves only the arbitrary whims and revenue streams of postmodern autocrats and wannabes.  It's oppression \"ur-myth\" has long been discredited.  Imposing this fallacy on the young is an abuse that will require ever harsher punitive laws to banish goodness, truth, and beauty to the ideological gulags where those who have most to gain from them will have the least opportunity to do so.  Just say no to this bad idea.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It includes helpful definitions and applicable laws.  It explains what is at stake by using specific statistics.  It encourages school boards to continue important efforts to improve safety, privacy, and access to education of children.  The guidelines could be a helpful starting point for schools boards beginning to think about this issue and how best to comply with existing law. I encourage everyone here to participate in local elections and to engage in conversations with local school board members.  This document is meant to be a model, or merely suggestion.  It is not the actual policy that will go into effect in their local schools.  Your school board must comply with the law, but it does not have to adopt this document as written.  They can, of course, provide greater protection than the law requires, but not less.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, their \"rights\" should not supersede the rights of those who recognize and adhere to biology.  For instance, I should not have to share my bathroom with someone who was a man at birth.  I think this issue has gone too far---as much of society has.  It has also put an undue burden on educators and school systems.  I have no problem working with or teaching those who have made lifestyle choices I disagree with. I do have a problem when I as an educator now have to fear a lawsuit because I forget to call Sally, John, this year.  You must also be careful to respect the spiritual rights of those who know that God created male and female.  We can accept, teach, and love those who may think differently.  We also need to understand that really caring for our young people does not mean we accept every belief and way of thinking.  We care about them enough to correct them and lead them in the right direction.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

State's right do not extend to forcing gender ideology on those who disagree with it.\nBody:\nThis policy tramples on the People's rights. State's right do not extend to forcing gender ideology on those who disagree with it. This proposed policy demands & imposes gender ideology on students, parents, and teachers. If a student wants to be part of the LGBTIQ community that is their freedom, but not everyone has to believe as they do. Each school should have the freedom to decide how to handle a student who wants to change their gender identity moment by moment or simply to benefit their circumstances. Whereas parents should have the right to name their own children or change their names EACH SCHOOL should be able to adopt their own dress code without being forced to have everyone dress in a gender neutral manner. The state is to have minimal control over the people. This policy is also unconstitutional and does not support freedom of speech by forcing every teacher/peer to say what they think is not true (insisting that they call a male she/her etc.).  In trying to advance the \"rights\" of the LGBTIQ+ community, these policies would trample the actual rights of all students, parents, teachers, and staff, as well as put these youth in an incredible position of power instead of needing to listen to a teacher/staff. Consider instead, supporting the LGBTIQ kid by encouraging teachers/students to not make unkind remarks when a biological boy wants to dress like a girl for the day or the other way around. DO NOT TRAMPLE ON EVERYONE ELSE's RIGHTS!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I want to know what is going on in my children’s school and being taught.\nBody:\nI am Appalled  at the government and governing officials that are trying to take over our home lives and teach stuff that is not ok in my opinion. It is not the government and the public schools to tell my children what sex they are either female or male. I am a parent.  I parent my children. I don’t need the government and the Public schools telling me what gender my child should be.  This is an infringement on my rights as a parent.  I never asked the Public School and government to cross that line of sexual identity. They have crossed that line. If children are struggling with their identity then work with those but you don’t need to subject the whole school to this Institutionalizing of gender.  The public schools and government want to push down our children’s throat that they need to adjust for a small Minority of children that are struggling with their identity. Commonsense has gone out the door I am extremely irritated. With the decision of the governing officials and the public school to cram down ideologies and institutional ways a child should be.  I oppose this Bill strongly. I am so disappointed in a public school. My tax dollars pay to help  keep teachers to teach educated about Science, Math, History and Language arts. The agenda that the public school and the governing officials are doing to our children is far more detrimental to there brains and hearts. All  because the government has an agenda. My children are not your Guinean Pigs.  My tax dollars are paying for children to have an education and NOT for my children to have sexual education. It’s amazing how people try to do out based education and you think this is going to work I believe some of your governing officials and public school educators need to go in and sit in the classroom and see what some of these teachers are dealing with and the students in the classroom. People need to have a reality check because teachers have a passion to teach but now we’re jamming all this junk down their throat about sexuality they don’t have time for that. The teachers worry about test scores because otherwise if they don’t get test scores they lose government funding. And you’re worried about transgender wording because it might offend somebody if you call them  male or female . Also governing officials and public school educators you need to take a step back out of your office and go sit in the classrooms not just for a check in day but for a few weeks to really see what is going on. Watch with the teachers what they have to deal with and you’re worried about wording if a child is male or female. Because it might offend somebody. Also the teachers didn’t go to school to know about mental health issues and a ADD, ADHD and dyslexia and all the stuff that they have to battle every day when they enter that classroom. Children that are having a meltdown because they’re being abused at home. Also the teachers didn’t go to school to know how to deal with medical issues and about mental health issues and ADD, ADHD and dyslexia. These are to name a few that they have to battle every day when they enter that classroom. children that are having a meltdown because they’re being abused at home. Instead of focusing on transgender wording because you’re afraid to hurt somebody or offend them. Why don’t we really take a look at what’s going on as a whole because with a mental health crisis and it’s affecting the children to learn and the teachers because their hands are tied.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Helping to develop one's character through these formative years is a privilege.  Our society is reaping the abuse's of that privilege and the problems that existed many years ago, have not been solved or even helped in the least.  Clearly man's solution is failing and getting worse.  God has given us a moral code to live by and He is our help, but when we refuse Him, failure is the result.  I am sure we have all been witness to how our feelings and emotions lead us to mistreat people and to do or say things we wouldn't normally.  Allowing those feelings to take precedence over truth is not the answer.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Public policies have not been made based upon peer reviewed medical studies or evidence based medicine but upon fear and non-science.  America has not even had a \"public debate\" over what really works and what does not...and if we are to be a body politic, public discourse that deals in real facts that are observable/provable needs to happen. And now, we are being threatened with more pseudo-science and unproven psychological theories that will be a direct threat to the well being of children and families. Do you really believe that a man can have a baby? Can a man have a period? Are you going to encourage young people to pursue sex changes, knowing that the majority of kids with gender dysphoria grow out of this mindset once they are into adulthood?  If a pregnant \"person\" appears in the emergency room and declares herself to be a man, are you going to demand/force that the medical staff treat the pregnant woman as a man, thus endangering the child???????  If you don't treat the woman as a man, can the woman sue because the medical staff treated her according to her \"true, DNA identity?\"  Would you be happy for this to happen?  I sure hope not! This is pure insanity. Do we really want to encourage people with psychological disorders by giving them legal rights to trample upon everyone and ruin their lives, all because we are afraid to say \"THIS IS WRONG.\"  There have only been two sexes in the history of the world and Bruce Jenner will always be a man, whatever name he wants to be called by. Obviously, this is going to be an emotional discussion.  But let it also be a scientific (real medical knowledge please, not psychology) and logical.  And even though this is asking for a whole lot, the \"morality\" of encouraging people to be something that they are not must also be discussed.  This is not moral to perpetuate fraud. I realize that humans want to be completely in control of their \"identity\", but God and nature have assigned identity to people whether they like it or not. To deny this is to open up a Pandora's Box scenario that will harm children (boys in a female locker room, or vice versa...you know this is not going to end well) and such policies will cause far more harm  than good. It really is common sense.  But,  such is rare these days. Please insist that male and female are real,  and please do not make policies that give the transgender activists power to ruin the lives of students and good, honest families.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They would facilitate complaints of \"discrimination, harassment, or bullying.\" Invariably, the end result is that students, teachers, &c. are terrorized for offenses they did not commit, or arraigned for minor offenses against political correctness, &c. They would have school personnel withhold information \"relating to a student’s transgender status\" from parents, thus undermining the authority and right of parents as the principal caretakers of their children. They would \"eliminate or reduce the practice of segregating students by gender to the extent possible,\" thus robbing students of valuable time spent learning and growing with members of their own sex. They would undermine the beauty of having two sexes with bland uniformity. There is no reason for \"gender-neutral attire.\" They would subject confused female students to the terrors of the men's locker rooms. They would facilitate confusion and feelings of \"superiority\" and elevated social status. Students participating in the latest \"fad\" should not expect authorities to recognize their fad as sacred. Is it not miraculous that half the girls I know all of sudden are boys? They would subject school staff to yearly indoctrination sessions, imposing hateful woke ideology on innocent people. If the state actually cares what the people of Virginia think, they will listen to their valid concerns, rather than staging a mock townhall, then proceeding to do as they please. These proposed policies do not reflect the values of the people of Virginia. It remains to be seen whether or not authorities care.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Stop the madness!\nBody:\nThe idea that gender identity can be independent of biological sex is unscientific and has no place in an educational environment. If the Department of Education truly wants children to learn then they will strongly oppose what is an obvious destabilizing agenda that only further divides and distracts from a proper education and has no place in public schools. It is issues like these why America is rapidly losing ground to other countries in terms of education and technology. What is the icing on the cake is that those who do not want to participate in this madness would be forced to comply or suffer penalty. Then who is discriminating against who? How would this be fair and just?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I am praying and say let the children just be children. Your efforts are only confusing the little ones. Why not instead encourage them through examples of whole families with a masculine Male Dad and a feminine Female Mom. Why not start reading to them in the classroom about these family roles or allow for play time to be demonstrated by a Mom and Dad and children who are either a girl or a boy....just as it was done when I was in school in the 50's. We had no trouble back then wondering what gender we were! What you see through this effort will be the children having a healthy respect for how they were designed.  They will like themselves and look forward to the role God has created them to carry out. I believe this is a better alternative than what this bill is proposing. Confusion and the Bullying will cease because there will be no need for it. The kids needs examples and unfortunately when Mommy went out to work in the 70's, she became too busy to pay attention to how society was robbing her of her family. So now we all are asked to make excuses for all this sick behavior. Leave them to be how they were created, boy or girl....its simple as that. THEREFORE WE ARE OPPOSED TO THIS BILL! God bless you and help you to do the right thing and to honor God our Creator. Mr. and Mrs. James Quattrocelli\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is perfectly appropriately to address a person with XY chromosomes as a male and XX chromosomes as female.  This is objective reality based on science.  It is measurable and ascertainable.  To address someone as other than they are is to LIE to them.  I cannot, in good conscience lie to my children or even to other children.  Nor would I have my own children lie to other children.  Moreover, it will put the guidelines in conflict with Article I, Section 16 of the Virginia Constitution.  To quote the relevant part: \" 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.\"  It is a matter of religious conscience that God created man and woman.  To be forced to profess that one is the other, or that there is some alternative to this duality is to compel a religious belief at odds with the Virginia Constitution.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While I'm not trans, being allowed to use a nickname and dress how I chose when I was a student meant that I became a more confident and respectful adult. I never go by my full first name, even professionally. No one questions me when I ask to be called by a shortened version nor do they question my partner who goes by a middle name. When people get married and change names, no one questions them nor their prefixes if they go from Miss to Mrs. or Ms. Even as a kid, I had friends who asked to be called by nicknames and again, no one questioned this. We dressed like weirdos but were sure to dress respectfully for more formal occasions like church and special events. Our clothing choices harmed no one. All of my weirdo friends are now middle-aged parents with desk jobs and single-family homes. We are in every way \"normal\". Being different as children didn't harm us for life and it meant everything that we could explore who we were in a safe way. Names and clothing can all be changed. The confidence and dignity that comes with being allowed to express yourself and be affirmed and respected for those choices makes an impression that lasts a lifetime. Why are trans kids any different? Affirming who someone else is costs you nothing and means everything to that person whether it is calling them by a preferred name, letting them wear appropriate clothing that makes them comfortable, and/or using pronouns that reflect who they are. Seeing the joy in people who finally have their identifies validated is priceless. Schools have a duty to teach the whole child. This guidance is part of that. Please implement it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I believe this policy is one sided and does not protect everyone. What about how it makes other children feel? I believe you should love everyone and meet people where they are, but what about the kids who feel uncomfortable. Telling parents that they cannot encourage them to embrace their god given birth sex is discrimination against other peoples religion (in the context of you teaching them that they can choose and putting new ideas in their head vs. already struggling with it) It will cause bullying towards people of religion, do we not care about them? If you are not religious then of course you wouldn't care how they would feel because it does not pertain to you. We must respect one another and not choose only one. Why are there not classes to teach people how to love another despite their differences and opinions?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The affirmation and celebration of gender identities not in line with biological sex leads to dependence on cross-gender hormones, mutilating surgeries, the loss of private and safe spaces for girls. +The policies lead to confusion among all children as they question whether they can trust the body they were born in, or need to declare their pronouns. They are forced to address sexual identity issues before it is developmentally appropriate. +While some believe these policies are well-intentioned, they in fact undermine the primary role parents have in raising their children. +It is a gross act of arrogance for schools to insert themselves in the most intimate of developmental stages when children are wrestling with their identities. +These policies make no allowances for teachers, parents or students who disagree with affirming transgender identities based on biology, morality, common sense or safety concerns.

I’ve worked with youth with many gender identity and sexual preferences. I believe they should not be bullied or discriminated against due to this lifestyle. I believe all children should be safe and protected at school. I believe children should be free from external stressors while on school to allow for the best learning and growth opportunities. I have committed LT professional life to our young community members and believe they are our future. I do not believe this is the way to provide the one things above. Some of the changes proposed related to ending gender split groupings, allowing free choice for bathroom and changing spaces and expecting an open dialogue so early on about gender fluidity are, for lack of any other appropriate term, HARMFUL. We are proposing dramatic and, quite possibly traumatic, changes to the school building and protocols for a very small number of students. In reality (and I know because I was a middle school teacher!) the students experiencing suffering related to these policies are not experiencing it due to which bathroom they can use! Their suffering is due to bullying and lack of discipline and expectations. Less rules and structure are completely in opposition of the true goal- to eliminate bullying and discrimination. As a mother, I am also super concerned about opening the door to allowing shared changing spaces. Our children are already specialized way too early due to our culture. Please do not further this by buying into the idea that an elementary child has ANY clue what their gender identity or sexual orientation may be or that it is different than their same sex peers! This is actually causing children to notice and identify their differences even earlier on! Please consider these decisions from the lease of limiting educational disruptions and encouraging mutual respect. I beg of you not to adopt this plan as is!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The ultimate responsibility for children, should always be with the parent, not the sate/school. I do not support this bill as written as I think it will create more confusion for children in our communities. I do think children that are suffering with gender dysphoria need support and this should be something that is address with parents and schools in partnership. However, by creating confusion and chaos for all other children in the school system by allowing the use of bathrooms and dressing rooms by anyone and making children and educators subjected to disciplinary action for not using a specific pronoun is not the way to solve this issue. People have the right to identify however they want but all others should not be punished or subjected to disciplinary action or forced to not honor their their religious beliefs because of the beliefs of a few. If a child is being bullied or made fun of because of gender issues, then disciplinary action is appropriate but not just because of using the wrong \"pronoun.\" I strongly disapprove of this bill. It needs major revision to address the issue and I don't know what the answer is but this is bill is not the answer.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

For any student to simply state a new identity on any given day, without parent knowledge or legal documentation to back up the change, is wrong. Parents oversee their children until they become “adults” at least until age 18 & have a right to know what is going on in school. Without requiring legal documentation, any student can exploit these policies to cause distraction, harm or negative consequences for teachers and other students. In addition, students must feel safe in bathrooms and locker rooms. They should never be expected to share these spaces with members of the opposite sex biologically!! Stop this madness!! I understand that trans students may not feel comfortable in life, but if a student is truly struggling with this issue then he/she need counseling, parent knowledge and support not wishy washy rules from VDOE that put other students, teacher and staff at risk for retaliation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Schools being allowed to assist students explore gender and make decisions without a parent knowing is unacceptable and another government power grab to take parental responsibilities away.  Other reasons include a failure to us a student's new preferred pronouns that could change day to day and even defy basic rues of grammar would be harassment and discrimination for both faculty and students and they would be subject to disciplinary action.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I also appreciate the wonderful teachers we have in the public school system and do not think they should be forced, some against their conscience and beliefs, to refer to students according to the student’s preferred pronoun. That is going way too far. Teachers need the freedom to teach without additional restrictions and concerns that this policy would add to their plate.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

And will violate public school registration of students. Every Public School Principal must be accountable for every student present in the school and on the school grounds.  The Public school administrators are responsible for ALL proper state documentation (birth certificate), medical records (vacinations/special needs) and legitimate copies are filed.   IF these documents are NOT provided the students can not attend school.   If students do attend and do not comply with state required documents than the school is in violation. These State regulations are the foundation to providing \" accountability \" and \" security \" for ALL students and staff within each school.  If parents are enrolling their children in school they have Federal, State and Medical documents that provide verification for that student. That verification is how each student is accounted for. It is for accountability and security at PUBLIC Schools.  If a student is enrolled, proper documentation will allow the school principal to clearly and account for that student at All times.  It is NOT up to the parents OR the students to identify or change their gender when enrolling in school. These are Federal and State regulations that allow students to be enrolled in public schools.  No papers/documents that legally reflect identity than Principal and administration can NOT enroll that student.   this is NOT a parent or student decision when attending PUBLIC school.   every student must attend PUBLIC school with legal documents.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Ample research supports this. Indeed, why would we not protect every single child in our schools? It is a simple conclusion that a rigorous policy is needed to protect a vulnerable group of students, not only to safeguard their education, but to allow them to thrive emotionally and socially. Any less of an effort will have lifelong (and possibly life threatening) negative consequences for them. Therefore I support this policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They would eradicate all distinctions between male and female, distinctions that are CRITICAL for children to understand, and indoctrinate our school children, assuming a role that should be reserved for parents. Failure to use a student’s new “preferred pronouns” – which can change from day to day and even defy basic rules of grammar – should NOT be considered harassment (Recommended Standard, p.10).  Furthermore, students and faculty should NOT be subject to disciplinary action due to failure to use the preferred pronoun of a student. Schools should be explicitly forbidden from \"helping\" a student explore, facilitate and make decisions regarding his/her gender expression of sexual identity.  This is a role for parents to play, not anyone in the school system. Under the proposed guidelines, all students will be allowed to use any bathroom or locker room they choose, without being questioned by any school administrator or faculty.  This is inappropriate and would violate the privacy and safety of students in states of undress. Bill Parsons Springfield, VA\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)\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The first sentence does not map to second sentence (remove all together or re-write for comment) The first sentence contradicts the use of biological references in other policy statements that say remove references BUT then references it below. (what is a biological male if you are now saying remove all references to male/female) How will you know if there is a biological male in a room?  Therefore PUBLIC SCHOOLS Have an Enrollment process that provides accountability and identifies ALL students. Recommend removing - all together this statement is not clear and concise Sc h ools 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)\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The policy is not based on science.  Rather, it is forcing a Transgender Religion on everyone. And the purpose is not to improve the educational experience of all children in Virginia schools, which should be the primary focus of the Virginia Department of Education. This policy directly violates Section 16 of the Virginia Bill of Rights , which states: \"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...\" The policy directly contradicts the U.S. Constitutional right of freedom of religion because it does not allow for any exceptions based on religious faith or conscience.  In the United States, the government cannot force everyone to adopt a particular religious belief, and the government cannot prohibit the free exercise of religion. Girls should be protected, not made vulnerable by boys/men who want to use girls' bathrooms, locker rooms, or other facilities. This policy would make girls vulnerable to sexual predators and cause harm to countless girls across the Commonwealth. This policy would also destroy girls sports because it would allow boys who \"identify\" as girls to compete on \"girls\" sports teams, thereby defying the common-sense intent of Title IX provisions ensuring equal opportunities for both girls and boys in athletics. THIS POLICY SHOULD BE REJECTED BY THE VDOE. The government should NOT impose a particular religion on all students/parents which is contrary to science, contrary to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia, contrary to the U.S. Constitution, would result in HARM TO GIRLS, and would DESTROY GIRLS SPORTS. Rather, a reasonable and legal alternative would be for LGBT+ activists to create their own private schools where people could self-select into them. That would allow LGBT+ people to exercise their freedom of religion without the government imposing a particular religion on everyone.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Even if all relatives have deceased and the child is in a state group home of some kind, you should train the child up in the way they should go, the way they are designed.  In 99.8% of children, their sex is very very clear. Since you are only dealing with 0.2% of children, ADMIT IT, and handle as special cases.  I believe these special cases are best handled by parents with advice from others when asked by the parents.  Government STAY OUT of my FAMILY BUSINESS!

NO\nBody:\nPlease do not pass these harmful requirements.  I cannot imagine the mayhem this will create.  These recommended standards cause confusion in children/young adults, remove parents (who in most situations care about these children more than any one else, and by the way, pay the taxes for the public school system to educate their children) from involvement in their children's lives, and endanger children, especially girls, to harmful situations. Furthermore, there is no provision for exception or accommodation for those who conscientiously oppose.  In every way this is harmful to all students.  Conscientious and concerned parents will have no choice but to withdraw their students from the public system.  Perhaps that may be the best outcome from this entire onslaught.  Parents care about their children, care for their children, raise their children, and pay for their children.

Gender and sex are not fluid realities. They are not social constructs. Gender and sex are God-given, scientific realities rooted in biology. A child who is consistently taught that he or she may identify as something or someone else may one day be in charge of boys and girls who identify as boys and girls. If and when that adult is allowed to enter a restroom or locker room with children of the opposite sex, that adult becomes a sexual pervert. That adult, regardless of his or her then gender identity, becomes a danger to those children. Remember: children who today are encouraged to experiment with a fluid concept of gender identity will one day be adults who may harm boys and girls. Thank you for your time and consideration.

By expecting society to reject reality in favor of an internal disconnect, everyone (most especially the sufferer) loses, and we do a disservice to all involved.  Perception, even self-perception, is not always reality.  We should all strive to accept, then deal with, reality, even when it conflicts with our self-perception.  Understanding the reality is the first step.  To do otherwise puts us in the position of being an enabler and harming the individual with gender dysphoria (or any other kind of dysphoria, for that matter).  Such acceptance of erroneous self-perception opens the gates to further acceptance of unreality.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

PERIOD\nBody:\nRemove this statement.  Using over exaggerated language and overstated words to misconstrue context.  Public School and PE uniforms are already neutral.  DOE Federal and State guidelines on proper dress code exist.  Without citing every team uniform, band uniform, activity uniform..etc Policy should remain the same. High-level, related to ALL students and staff.  We (staff and parents) are teaching children proper dress for many different situations.    This policy is out of context, poorly written and should not be considered or re-written with clear and concise language for less ambiguity. 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)\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am disappointed seeing some of the other comments on this forum that have so much bigotry and vitriol. Kids need to be respected, as we are not raising children but little adults. The behavior they learn in school carries into their adult lives, just as much as anything they learn at home. If they learn to respect trans and other LGBTQ members of their school community through these policies and normalize that respect, they will carry it into their lives hopefully and the world will have fewer of these vile people that are being so hateful. My younger brother is trans and deserves just as much respect and fair treatment as anyone else as a human being. Anyone saying otherwise is being hateful and is not based in science. Them using the bathroom is no more a concern than anyone else using that bathroom, the “bodily and religious concerns of others” are not effected. Someone else being trans being against your religion is not their problem. They have a right to practice their own beliefs, if you will, and being their true selves is part of it. The real infringement of rights is happening to the trans students, and they deserve to have their rights protected. This is vitally important, please PASS THIS.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

They are not based in science. They are the result of 100% group think that does not believe in objective reality or the scientific method. They will silence teachers and students who believe in science. They are a disservice to women's sports (see latest research below). They remove parental rights. They place power in the hands of ideologues. They will drive out good teachers. They will drive out students. They will result in lawsuits. They do nothing to prepare our children to be ready to participate in the 21st century. The emotional needs of students who may question their identity should be left to counselors, not school admins, teachers, and students. These policies will be weaponized and used by individuals to punish anyone that does not conform to their way of thinking. https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/trans-women-retain-athletic-edge-after-year-hormone-therapy-study-n1252764?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It does not make sense to enact these rules for a VERY small minority of children who identify as transgender.  Consider all of the problems caused by allowing biological boys to compete against biological girls in sports.  This has robbed these young women of opportunities and awards.  This is a slippery slope which Virginia should not go down.  No one can even imagine all of the complications that will arise.  Staff and students would be subject to \"disciplinary action\" and perhaps legal suits if they don't use the \"correct pronouns\".  Schools will be allowed to advise children to move forward with irreversible hormone treatments and surgeries, without the parents' knowledge.  Unfortunately the popularity of transgenderism is spreading and many young people are making irreversible life decisions that will affect their future health, happiness, and well-being.  We should not encourage this.  And these policies would allow persecution of students and parents who believe that God created male and female, and it was good.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

None of those theories have compelling evidence and support from the scientific community as a whole. Implementing these policies would in fact be potentially more detrimental to children's long-term health and well-being since much self-proclaimed transgenderism in younger people more often than not stems from a confused psychological state of gender dysphoria which requires the wisdom and maturity of professional accompaniment and counsel rather than an unbridled, unloving response of just giving license to whatever the student may be feeling at the moment. We're supposed to be the adults in the room here! Another difficulty with the proposed guidelines is that they assume a posture of disrespect toward the role of the parent as primary caregiver by handling student manifestation of transgenderism as knowledge to which the state is privy but the parent is not. What automatically qualifies the state to be more responsible in handling these matters than the parents themselves? This usurping of the authority of the state over the parent sets a dangerous precedent for the abuse of public power in other arenas as well.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Do not force teachers, parents and students to go along with your ideological agenda that we must all label everyone into a 'right' and 'wrong' group, further pushing society into decline and promoting division and hatred. If we do not agree with this ideology, that doesn't equal discrimination. In fact, you are the ultimate hypocrite! This policy is completely discriminatory against anyone who doesn't conform. At least try to save face and include a religious exemption. In fact, not only are you disseminating an anti-Christian mindset but remember, resulting suicides are a very real and increasing statistic in people who are transgender, and you are only fueling the fire towards it for those students who are in need of love and attention. Don't encourage the pain and suffering they are going through now. These negative outcomes occur many years later, so of course there would be no recourse on you for the damage you could potentially do with the approval of this policy. You are also absolutely overstepping your boundaries when it comes to my child's upbringing. You have no right to teach my child that this immoral behavior is okay and should be celebrated and embraced or face consequences if you disagree. And by the way, isn't the education of our children supposed to concentrate on the truth about biology, not the influence on it via societal values or lack thereof? And why is it okay now to change definitions all in the name of inclusion? Diversity and inclusion means excluding those who object to ideological uniformity. There is a fundamental breakdown of our school system if you disagree with this statement. And how does this policy teach our kids to be upstanding, truthful, and moral citizens? Why is it that you do not support a strong family unit? You have totally missed the mark if you are trying to insert yourself into our homes, challenging parents' rights. In fact, you would go behind parents' backs and actually call Child Protective Services crying 'child abuse' on me because I read the Bible to my child where St. Paul writes through the power of God, the Holy Spirit, saying that this conduct is a sin. Instead, I suggest you repent for your sins and not worry about my own or my child's. God created everything, sees everything, but still forgives everyone who asks.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Regulating pronouns is absurd.  These guidelines are removing the parent from parenting their child.  The schools did not give birth to these children and should not be in the position of raising them.  VDOE must maintain a standard of educating children, not directing sexual identity or preference.  In addition, this is not factual or scientific at all.  How can any of these guidelines represent academics?  These guidelines belong to mental health professionals, not education department. Not only are the guidelines as non factual and wrong, it discriminates against parents who embrace God-given identity.  These guidelines are an overreach of VDOE. Where have the days gone when VDOE protected ALL children?  The guidelines purposely puts many children at-risk.  Sharing facilities is dangerous.  Why is it so difficult for VDOE to only educate children?  Why does VDOE have to impress transgender policies into the school and penalize those who oppose such guidelines? Where is the protection of those students or staff who have strong religious beliefs?  Is VDOE now infringing on people of faith rights?  Will VDOE start accepting behaviors of pedophila? Again, VDOE is putting children at risk! These proposed guidelines are a direct violation of rights for all people who oppose the indoctrination of transgender population in schools.  As a Virginia citizen, I oppose these proposed guidelines.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Primarily because my child has been specifically singled out by a teacher because of a request made to use my child's preferred pronouns. The teacher was instructed by school administration and school board personnel to use the correct pronouns and the teacher refused creating a very unhealthy and potentially dangerous atmosphere for my child. All children should be given the same respect whether transgender,cisgender, or nonbianary. In my child's case, the teacher asserted his religious belief, and stated that it went against what he believed and therefore refused to use the correct pronouns even after a meeting that I had with the teacher prior to the school year begininng. Even after I explained the benefits of using the correct pronouns, in large part, the amount that it can lower suicidal ideation that the child may be experiencing. I do not believe that transgender students should be given over and above treatment to that of their cisgender peers, but I do believe that educators should consider the science that is more than evident and overwhelming and realize that these children have every right to be treated fairly while in the school. The schools have a responsibility to ensure a safe and equitable learning environment for all children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These policies seek to confuse young people and make them believe that they can choose what genre they are when science clearly tells us that gender is determined by DNA. So even if a you changed their physical body to alter their body to looks like another gender, they would genetically still be the gender they were born with . 2) Studies have proven that their are higher rates of suicide for children who change their sex, so kids who feel they need this change need psychological help them deal with their feelings . 3). These policies take away the Parent's rights 4) These policies are against my Christian beliefs and I will not support them being introduced to your children .\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Also, where is the belief in science now? We believe in COvid science facts, “evolution” science, etc, but not when it pertains to the science of the human body and DNA make-up? We cannot allow children to act on their feelings and possible mental illnesses in order to punish or cause even more harm to themselves and others. Do we allow the delusions of someone with schizophrenia to dictate how we run society? No, that would be absurd! The same goes for this gender dysphoria. We would allow a girl with fully developed breasts who then decides she is a male, to run around topless at a sporting event where the other males are also shirtless? This could lead to some possible sexual assault of this young lady who then identifies as a male or even unnecessary nudity that those young males would then be subject to see. I can see so many horrible consequences from these rules. You all are doing a great disservice to everyone to allow this confusion and madness to continue. There will be many sad consequences if this were to pass. What is evil will become good, and what is good will be evil—that is what we are seeing here. I am all for respecting every person that God has created, but you cannot punish other people for disagreeing with the gender changes. These kids that feel they are a different gender need loving guidance, counseling, and are certainly needing of respect, but these policies will only make so many things worse. Please do not allow this to happen in our school systems!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Protecting a minority by putting the majority at risk is not equality - it is a reversal of power, and spawns the same issues that inspired its implementation. The measures you propose do NOT protect ALL students. I strongly encourage you to revisit and rewrite these policies so that ALL students and staff alike are protected. These regulations, which were written to protect a minority, WILL be exploited by people acting in bad faith. These regulations place students that claim to be transgendered (whether they actually are or not) in a place of power, where they can punish teachers & other students they dislike by constantly changing their definitions of self so the teacher or other student is always doing or saying the wrong thing. It also puts other students at risk - predators WILL use the new regulations about locker rooms and restrooms under the guise of protection of gender identity in order to commit sexual assault. NO student should have to feel afraid using the restroom or locker room. To protect transgender students' privacy, I recommend that a third restroom/locker room be installed - a designated unisex one, with more than one toilet or stall so that transgender students AND cisgendered students alike can use this room without anyone knowing their gender identity, and those students that fear compromising situations can use the restroom or locker room that corresponds to their sex at birth. I strongly disagree that parents should be taken out of the decision-making process regarding their children, and they have a right to know what happens to their child at school. Parents are far more likely than administrators and teachers to truly know the needs and desires of their children, as they've raised them since birth and care for them on a daily basis. An administrator who deals with a student once a week does not know more than their parent about what they need or what's healthy for them. It is abhorrent that a parent can be reported to Child Protective Services for not supporting their child's gender identity. That is not congruent with child abuse. The human brain is not fully formed until age 25 - these are children that are still learning and growing, and they change their minds with the breeze of a wind. Parents should not be cut out of decision-making regarding the humans they've poured countless hours, time, and energy into sustaining. Being removed from your home by CPS is psychologically damaging to parents and children alike, and this measure will be used by people in bad faith to punish those that they dislike. A case of child abuse must be much more robust (evidence of ongoing physical or emotional abuse or neglect, which does not include simply disagreeing with your child) before you upturn the lives of families and children forever. The effects of a CPS intervention do not end with litigation or resolution - unwarranted removals can scar children for life. I again echo another commenter's words: \"Undermining family and faith--the pillars of society--will not offer more stability for the Commonwealth. It is a long-term recipe for social collapse.\" It is a path of no return. Please do not support this.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

For the religious readers, the bible says God created night and day. It doesn't specificially talk about all the other hours of the day, does it? What about noon? Would you say that noon doesn't exist because it's not in the bible? We live with something other than JUST night and JUST day. As such, when it says He created male and female, the bible encompasses every permutation and every person in between. You know WAY more people living along the spectrum of gender than on either end of it - people are just afraid to tell you or show you. It's time we accept the science AND embrace God's main message: LOVE ONE ANOTHER. This policy does just that. Thank you to the leaders embracing this and sowing seeds of kindness and acceptance instead of hate and denial.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Teachers who validly object face professional discipline. Objecting students face discipline. Most concerning  is authority given to schools to interfere with and undermine parental prerogative.

I do not want to see kids bullied by the faculty or students. I also do not want to see parents limited to nothing more than mindless machines of our common wealth. Does this not open the door for boys who identify as girls to take place and ultimately dominate in girls sports because of their bodies natural tendency to produce testosterone (science)? Does this not potentially pave the way for the common wealth to dictate to parents how their children should be raised when the parents are concerned that puberty blocking drugs may damage their children in the long run (again science)? If parents and child decide to take this direction they have every right to be treated with respect by the  common wealth, if this is where this starts and ends, fine. Even though, I myself disagree with this on a personal and Spiritual level. However, in the public square no persons rights should trample another persons rights. This goes down to the basic principle of treating others they way you want to be treated. I have seen and have been bullied myself over numerous things including my Christianity. It was dealt with by my teachers or even by working with my parents and teachers. There was no need for action by the legislator. Which is why I ask, is this not more about scoring political points with identity politics than looking after the needs of our students. We all have different views and opinions and most should be respected, especially if it involves a healthy parent child relationship. In general public education families from all the different backgrounds, religious or otherwise should be respected. If this was written under more general terms and required the need for parents and faculty to work these things out together, I think you would have more backers. That includes myself. No one wants to be bullied, by students or the common wealth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans and nonbinary students are owed the same respect from teachers and administrators as their cis peers. Institutional protections against discrimination and harassment can and will save students' lives, as they promote a broader culture of acceptance and inclusion. Every year, we lose too many LGBTQ+ individuals to self-harm and assault, both of which are largely a product of intolerance that is permitted at the institutional level and brushed off as insignificant. By fostering an environment of acceptance and enforcing non-discriminatory protections at the school level, we can transform our culture to be safer for this community. We have a moral obligation to build a foundation of inclusion and respect for the next generation, and this starts in the schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Forcing a student or staff member to go against their beliefs to cater to someone else’s sexual preferences or confusions is no different than forcing a person to either acknowledge faith in Jesus Christ as God’s Son or else be punished. Either scenario would produce insincere behavior stemming from fear. Instead, worry more about teaching children to be kind and respectful of one another’s differences and challenges, as staff sets the example. Don’t endanger young boys and girls. Don’t be the cause of fostering situations for rape and sexual abuse. This change pretends to protect some children, but would in the end harm them all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This document gives me hope that these students may finally be able to overcome the discrimination and harassment they deal with currently. Sadly, my kids have seen the struggles their LGBTQ+ friends go through with name-calling and even blatant disrespect school administrators. I know that if my children were struggling with these issues, I would do everything I could to make sure they has the same safe education as everyone else. I support this guidance because I want my kids and all of their friends to be in a school environment that is safe and welcoming for everyone.

As a teacher I make every effort to treat all of my students with care and compassion and to support them socially, emotionally and academically. However, these policies are in my opinion overstepping the boundaries between teachers and school officials and families. As a parent I would vehemently oppose the school's involvement in counseling my child on any subject without my knowledge. As a teacher, I would not feel qualified or comfortable interfering with sensitive subjects such as a child's identity. Every trauma experience that a child may go through is unique to each individual child. These policies are ambiguous, impersonal and invasive. They do not protect the students, teachers, or parents; on the contrary they put all the above at risk of losing their individual rights to express their personal convictions and opinions in making the best decision for all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Baldrige in education says that school is all about learning, learning, learning not constant chaos and arguments.  Anything that disrupts the teaching of SOLs needs to go.  Thus this policy needs to be tossed. I cannot tell you the number of times a boy pretended to enter the girls' restroom for giggles and the turmoil that seethed out into the classroom all that day.  ALL students have the right to privacy.  No student's individual gender choice should overcome this right of a free appropriate education for the whole group. During this time of the pandemic, teachers and students do NOT need one more thing interrupting the teaching of basics.  Students are woefully behind and need a safe, calm environment to catch up. Again, I am strongly opposed to these guidelines since they will be detrimental to the learning process.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are multiple layers to how absolutely foolish and irresponsible this politically correct garbage, but here's a few: Our kids' international competitiveness in the basics; (math/science, reading/writing and classical education) continues to decline annually, and this is DIRECTLY proportional to the # of new social experiment stuff you've increasingly introduced at the expense of actual EDUCATION-focused initiatives.  STOP and get back to the basics... this is what we're paying you for!! PARENTS and families OWN the responsibilities of dealing with the complicated subjects of sexuality and identity.  Schools can offer advice/mentoring WHEN SOLICITED, but otherwise need to STAY out of this business pushing agendas that don't align with the majority of tax payers.  Even if it did, this is NOT YOUR ROLE. Kids have dealt w/ identity questions for millennia.  Instead of leaving these issues to parents where they belong, or offering good guidance on the sex that NATURE made them, you are injecting absolute confusion when you entertain the prospect of the foolish deception of 'transgenderism'.  Step back for a minute.. do you realize how utterly ridiculous this is??  We were created with beautiful, glorious identities and natures, that have always needed a little coaching from moms, dads and sane adults.  Instead, you are injecting CONFUSION to impressionable kids that can only lead them down a path of further confusion, depression, and hopelessness.  YOU will be responsible and held accountable by our community and by God.. if you have any regard for Him and His creation?  If so- basic sanity check- He has never mistakenly made a man a woman, or a woman a man. DROP THIS TOPIC, STOP WASTING OUR TAX DOLLARS, AND FOCUS ON EDUCATION... the basics that continue to experience decline. John H.

The policy is radical and threatens parental authority, my kids' safety, and my and my children's religious rights. The policy is based not on biology/science but instead people's feelings, which we know are ever so fickle especially in children. Gender identity by definition is subjective, opinion-based with no objective measures that can be applied, but this policy has potentially extreme punishments for people who are perceived as not being supportive of those who decide to make themselves a new identity. It's so bizarre to me that in this nation where we have and celebrate technology that can tell us the sex/gender of the unborn by 1) a blood test as early as 7 weeks after conception or 2) the amazing ultrasounds of today (3-D, 4-D) and simultaneously fight for the right to deny such celebrated information post birth.  Have you pondered how we so comfortably talk out of both sides of our mouths? I do not want any school member having conversations with my kids without my knowledge or frankly with my knowledge on this subject, no thank you to \"helping them explore or make decisions\" about gender identity.  Anything you do in secret is wrong. I expect transparency. I am not abusing my child if I disagree with her stance on this and am saying so, despite kids' big emotions and reactions. On the same topic, your policy states that I wouldn't be notified if one of my kids did something perceived as an offense against another student/teacher that the school investigates. Parents are to be partners in the educational process in everything else except this?  Teachers reach out to share concerns about other behaviors, grades, etc. but can't about this topic unless it needs resolving at the school level?  I would want a chance to ask my kids about it, address with my kids how one should behave, my expectations going forward, etc.  I can't even try to help my kids or intervene on their behalf with this. My family's faith is the foundation for our home.  If I choose to continue to teach my kids about how God created male and female, that they are different and complementary, and he imprinted them with DNA and body parts that shows this as well, then my freedom to practice my faith is called into question when your policies say I could be reported to CPS if I continue the same conversations I've had with my kids since their birth.  \"You are a little girl.  He is a little boy.\" None of these conversations have been to hurt others. They state biological facts. I also teach that we are supposed to love one another (which we can do by the way without being supportive about every opinion they have or decision they make) but to what extent are we supposed to reshape everything to fit the whim of the moment? On that point, kids need stability and to know the rules and expectations.  This policy makes it so that the rules are really whatever an individual says on whatever day they say it is. Today, I feel like a female, so today you must all refer to me as she.  Tomorrow, I feel like a male, so call me he. Does this make sense to anyone but the person?  How can all others appropriately handle this situation, which is a legitimate situation?  Just look on social media to see how often some people change their minds about these things. I am not comfortable with anyone choosing their bathroom or locker room whenever and without notification of why. Maybe this is less of any issue in elementary school but after puberty begins, I have concerns of the abuse of this rule, safety of my daughters, or any potential of my daughters seeing male genitalia in person while students change into and out of gym clothes. There is no way to make things work for all, but this policy seems to tip the scales out of balance for the majority who abide by the belief that the sex they were born equals their gender and for a lifetime. Will there be a fear of offending transgender people?  People across the board are so easily offended by everything these days. So most will tiptoe around it, not out of acceptance but fear. Is that progress for anyone? We teach children over time that they are capable of managing their feelings and are expected to but that they are also entitled to their opinions. How do we navigate this fairly between children with different viewpoints on this? If one voices an opinion that is contrary to transgenderism/fluid gender identity, then feelings are inevitably invoked for those transgender students.  It appears that when one does not support this choice or has a difference in opinion about this topic, then it's automatically discriminatory. But the feelings of the transgendered student are not expected to be managed in this case, nor is mutual respect ensured. The choice to go against one's born sex is choice made by a subjective opinion by the transgendered individual alone and still that one's opinion is more important/valid than any another's. When situations come up, maybe it is more fair to also expect that feelings can also be managed and opinions of all can be respected. Ultimately, 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. If this moves forward, and I hope it doesn't, there have to be exceptions, as this entire policy is made for the exceptions to the biological understanding we have had since the dawn of man. Anything less is hypocritical. Also, it's important to note that I do not want any kids to be bullied or to be in emotional pain.  I can't think of a single person growing up that wasn't bullied at one time or another by someone or made to feel lesser- the popular kids for being popular, the smart k...

What teenage boy wouldn't use the excuse to claim gender dysphoria, to have a look at our vulnerable teenage daughters in the shower or bathroom?  With this policy, any push back would be claimed as 'discriminatory'.  You're catering to a loud, whiny, less than 1% segment of the population, and screwing the rest of us.

Every section outlined was thoughtfully researched, as seen in the references section, and discussed with a diverse committee including student representation. Gender identity and expression is an important aspect of our students growth and development. They need our support to feel safe and respected. That type of support comes from the top down and we will be teaching our students (and unfortunately some staff) to respect each other through these policies. Students deserve a safe space in their school, especially when they are rejected in their homes as some of these other comments may hurtfully suggest... After reading this new guidance I am proud to say I teach in Virginia public schools where we support and honor ALL of our students\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I want to start with my experience working as a preschool teacher in the afternoons while attending college when I lived in Ogden, Utah, in 1990 or 1991. I was a teacher in the three or four year old classroom.  There was a boy who thought he was a girl in the class.  When we asked the girls to line up to go outside or use the restroom, he always got in line. We had to remind him that he is a boy and to get in the boy's line.  He was a good listener and would always get into the boys' line. What struck me about this young boy was his lack of desire or inability to play with other children, and he looked confused and emotionally absent.  He was quiet and would sit for hours playing with girl dolls.  Kids play with dolls.  I get this, but this was different. I told my supervisor about this, and she was aware of the circumstances.  The boy was being raised by a single Mom, and the Mom did not want a boy, so she decided to raise him as a girl.  I understand now that the Mom had most likely had experienced great trauma, abuse, and rejection in her life most likely by men and that she didn't want to have a boy as this was a reminder of the hurt and abuse she experienced. From my experience, it appears our wholeness or brokenness comes from the family life - the parent or parents and their parenting choices and techniques. Everyone has the freedom and right do what makes them happy as long as it is does not harm another person.  It seems that Mom was harming her son because she was rejecting him and his behavior showed it. Why aren't the parents or guardians being held accountable for parenting choices and techniques that confuse their children?  Is it not neglectful and abuse if a normal functioning child cannot read by third grade, for example?  Why is it not viewed as neglectful and abuse if the child does not know if he is a boy or she is a girl?  Why is the emotional and mental part of a child's well-being being separated from his or her academics?  Why is the entire classroom or school forced to change due to a few's perspective or understanding about what they believe? Aren't we ignoring the rights of whole and natural laws? What harm is being caused by forcing children to accept something that is is confusing?  Does this not cause more and widespread confusion?  These are the first questions we need to ask before accommodating when working with children. I ask: \"Where is that boy today?  Is he okay?\"  I still think about him.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

As parents we are morally, financially and legally  responsible for our children. Thus, we must remain informed and decide what is right for our child and NOT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. These policies also place undue burden on school administrators whose only job is to teach- not raise our children for us!! Additionally, these policies jeopardize safety, opening the door for boys of all preferences to enter the ladies rooms creating rape zones. This is completely unacceptable!

As a trans adult who faced inequity growing up, I can't stress enough how important it is to support our trans kids. We need to support them in who they are, not who you think they are. Using religion as any sort of argument against protecting trans children goes directly against the separation of church and state and should not be considered. Using biology to justify bigotry towards trans people is factually incorrect and has no place in our laws and schools. As a marginalized group, trans people need the support of our schools to stop allowing harassment and discrimination from those who don't take the time to understand our experiences. This guidance will hopefully be the start to a better learning environment for all people, regardless of how others feel about them. Vote YES!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Children are considered minors for a reason. To put a policy in place that would discipline a child without notifying or involving the parents is a complete loss of rights and trust in the school system. I don’t agree with any form of bullying and it should absolutely be addressed but to say for the privacy of the transgendered person you wouldn’t notify the parents is absurd. You will lose several students and teachers if you approve this policy. The school is not the place to enforce such a policy. Your sexual preference/orientation does not belong at school. School is for education. Just like my personal home life does not belong at my place of employment. This is not the answer at all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It's no secret that being trans is difficult, and many trans folks deal with mental health complications and unsupportive or abusive families. Trans folks are at a higher risk for suicide and homelessness than many other groups. Here are some facts about trans suicide rates: https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications/suicidality-transgender-adults/ Schools have the unique opportunity to accept trans and nonbinary students for who they are, and to model positive behavior for these students' peers so that as adults, trans folks may have more opportunities to lead a healthy, supported adult lives in Virginia. If the government's job is to protect our society, it's important to consider the most vulnerable of us, which includes trans and nonbinary youth. In this way, the government can also help ensure that trans folks can live and thrive as adults.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If it's how this will affect you as a straight person and what types of conversations you may now be forced to have with your children, then understand this policy is not an infringement of your rights. This policy is to provide a support system for the victims in the scenario who are bullied for how they live, for who they like, for how they dress, etc. It's a call and a request for standards of decency for these students. This policy is one effort to help a group of marginalized people in our community. There will always be more options and ways in which people can be helped or laws in place, but this immediate policy is not such a dramatic step. This policy creates a structure that can be adjusted and developed with time as necessary. Currently, there is not a structure, so people are receiving disparate treatment from jurisdiction to jurisdiction in our Commonwealth. If you believe that there is a concern for your children's safety, then those concerns can be vetted under this policy. You can address your fears, and if there is a legitimate concern to be addressed, it can be included. However, if you feel that something that has never happened may happen to your child, then you also have to address this fear on a personal level. For example, there are plenty of myths about LGBT+ people and whether trans people are trying to harass straight people in bathrooms. If this is your concern, then dig into the data or ask the school board to do so. Listen to what is presented and reevaluate if it's something worth your time and stress. I won't say everyone has illegitimate fears out there, but if you don't know the circumstances, then it's on you to look into it. This policy is meant to help those students who are suffering, so let's get a policy in place and help our community better take care of our kids. If you had a trans child, then you would want them to be taken care of and supported in school. That is what is requested here. Please support this policy so that we can support the kids and the Commonwealth as a whole.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am 77 years old. A lot has changed as I have aged, and I have learned a lot and been made aware of a lot of things I was not previously aware of. While we have always known that there is a wide range of intelligence and may other things about humans, we were somehow not aware of the range of sexuality that could exist between/among our friends and families. Many time we heard from friends or even religious organizations that people who were not like us or not a certain way, racially, religiously, or sexually, were different, inferior, or just bad or evil. As we have matured and learned more about humanity, we have come to realize that we need to change our understanding about things. In particular, we must learn to accept humanity in all its forms, racial, religious, sexual, or whatever. We do not understand how all these things happen in life, but also we cannot change them, we need to accept them as long as they are not injuring others. No one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against in their school. None of us has decided to whom or where we are born, or what our minds will be like. The thing we are learning is that we all have to work together to help each other and not diminish any one of us for the way we/they were born. One of things that bothers me the most is the suicide of young children. Not accepting them as they are is a major cause of suicide in children, and we can avoid some of it by accepting them as they are. Young children particularly are easily influenced and prone to embarrassment or depression if they are not accepted as they are. Therefore, I believe that all students should be treated equally and accepted as they are, racially, religiously, or sexually, and have equal access to education as long as they are not interfering with education which is the purpose of school. I believe all students should be allowed to thrive and reach their full potential.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It should be no surprise people have this mindset on transgender issues, cause the Lord did say, “in the last days people would would have a reprobate minds”.

The only evidence-based studies on transgender youth are from 7+ years ago (making them no longer viable) where the majority of trans youth was the persistent and insistent desire of a young boy to be a girl. Today, we are seeing a new phenomena of teenage girls wanting to be boys. It happens in clusters of friend groups. The data support it, look it up. Transgender youth is the ONLY area of the medical field where the patient dictates their illness and the course of treatment. There have been multiple doctors that have spoken about the dangers and long-term consequences of providing affirming treatment which includes hormones, top surgery, bottom surgery, etc. without question. I support the rights of every individual to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, regardless of sex, class, race or background but I do not support changes without facts to support it. There is no evidence this treatment is effective. Suicidality remains high, well into adulthood in the trans community.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a parent of three girls, these policies have a very real potential to put them in very harmful situations.  When anyone is allowed in spaces that have been private and secure spaces for girls, you take away their rights to privacy and violate their safety. It is also highly concerning that this allows schools to help your child make huge decisions about themselves without involving their parents.  Multiple parts of these policies specifically state that parents will not be informed about what is happening at school, especially things that could affect a student negatively and that is not alright.  Parents have a right to be informed about their child at school and by taking away this dialogue you interfere with family relationships.  As an educator, I should have the right to not be a part of something that I don’t agree with and violates my beliefs.  This is not something the schools should be involved with in general.  Please DO NOT ratify these policies!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I believe the education and training recommendations are particularly important for the many educators, counselors, and other school staff who deal directly with the students on a day to day basis. When our children succeed, we all succeed.

People would describe me as a woman who looks very much like a man. I have always been gender non-conforming ever since I was little. Sadly, I did not have a successful school career because of the way I was treated. I was not able to graduate high school due to low attendance. I was bullied by other students, and the administrators and teachers in my school did nothing in my defense. I was prevented from using the bathroom at my school because of my appearance. There were many times when I feared for my safety, and knew that the adults at the school didn’t have my best interest in mind. It saddens me greatly to think about the opportunities I have missed because of the gap in my education. I was not able to attend college. When I think of kids today, I hope they have an easier path than I did. I want them to be supported and defended, and I want them to be given access to education and opportunities no matter what they look like or identify as. Not understanding someone else, or disagreeing with them politically, is never an excuse to mistreat them. We can’t force kids to suffer because some grown adults think that they don’t matter. Every child deserves the right to safety, health, and an education. We cannot allow kids to be discriminated against for being their authentic selves.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They each have a valuable place in our society and have many valuable things to contribute to our world.  There is nothing wrong with them that needs fixing or changing.  If God hadn't been removed from public life (including our public school system) it would be easier to help students see the value in differences in peoples personalities and to accept those differences as good, normal and given by God to benefit all of us.  Tomboys help us females concentrate more on having a healthy body and active lifestyle.  Sensitive boys grow up to be nurturing men who are good fathers, good husbands and good employees and employers.  They show concern when it's needed and help make life more pleasant especially when things get rough. I know several people quite well who are or have been homosexual.  They all had a father who was absent, very dysfunctional or they had endured sexual abuse as they were growing up.  Several have gotten counseling from professionals who specialize in these types of issues and are now happy they didn't have access to or encouragement to make permanent, life altering changes with surgery or hormones.  They are now adults who say they are happy and they act like they are.  Those I know who are still practicing homosexuals admit they are still unhappy and dislike themselves although they've gotten counseling to accept themselves as homosexual. Allowing biological makes in the same bathroom or locker room with biological females is a recipe for potential rape.  How would females protect themselves from males who are only pretending to be female?  Allowing biological males to compete in sports against biological females pushes female sports back years.  Males have a different body makeup than females and their DNA hasn't changed even if the way they think about themselves has.  It's unfair to females to have to compete against males and to try to make them think they have an equal chance to succeed. Parents should be part of their children's lives and decision making.  Parents have a long term interest in and relationship with their children unlike most school personnel.  Parents and their adult children will be left to pick up the pieces and try to correct the damage that was done by those who are no longer part of their lives.  Unless parents have been deemed in a court of law to be so bad they have lost permanent custody of their children they have a right to know what is happening in their children's lives and be able to get their child the help they think they need.  Most teenagers think they know more than their parents.  I know I did but I've reversed my opinion about that a long time ago.  Whether the school system agrees with parents' values and views makes no difference as to who is supposed to be in charge of minor children. I hope most of this policy will be struck down.  It's dangerous to experiment on people.  We all know the teen years and early 20s are times of figuring out who we are and what our values will be.  People need time to work through all that without being influenced to accept what is seen as the latest \"great\" ideas that will likely be discarded as time goes by.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As an educator this brings so many negative actions to our attention that will happen. Who will monitor these bathroom/locker rooms? Our children will NOT be safe in the public schools anymore. There are so many other ways this could be handled. How about a private bathroom, with only one at a time allowed?!? If this is passed, public schools will lose a ton of employees and students! There are private schools that can keep our kids safe, and home schooling will be a big hit! I'd love to know the ridiculous, idiotic, moron that came up with this plan!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans people, whether public with their gender identity or not, have contributed to and supported our communities since ancient times. But humanity, not history, should compel us to protect our trans friends, neighbors, children, and peers. We teach our children from their earliest years to be themselves and care for others. Yet, adults every day allow trans youth to be the target of vicious harassment and attacks. Trans students should be uplifted, not alienated, by school administrators. Students learn by example, and in allowing individuals to express their gender in a way that is authentic to themselves while not tolerating the bully-ish behavior from closed-minded individuals (who have not bothered to learn about gender and sex, and are unjustifiably interested in someone else's genitals) is how we build a society that is compassionate, collaborative, and interested in the success to all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Teaching this or allowing this to proceed borders on child abuse.

It is during these formative years that schools teach students how to succeed, they also teach students how to treat each other. It comes as no shock that transgender and nonbinary students 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. 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. No matter what side of the aisle you are on, it is a fact that these students are our future. We cannot sacrifice their mental health and physical well being on divisive rhetoric. It is our responsibility create an environment set up for equitable success. Not failure.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a retired school teacher, I see this as putting teachers at odds with their religious beliefs and whether they will be able or want to continue teaching in the public schools. It will not promote empathy between student and teacher, rather alienation. \"Let's see, is Susie a he or she or a they today?\"  It also will destroy the fabric of the family structure for families whose beliefs do not concur with these changes. The proposals will set a barrier between parents, child, and school.  As far as allowing transgenders to go into restrooms or gym locker rooms of their \"identified\" gender, what  about the other students who have low self-esteems and regard their bodies as less than perfect? This also puts students at risk of sexual harassment and abuse. Students of the middle and high school age are very body-conscious, and have not the maturity that goes with age to \"look the other way.\" Younger children flip-flop from day to day in their chosen activities, one day playing with dolls, the next trucks and trains. They do not have the idea of gender-identity unless or until it is introduced to them by outside influences. I feel that these proposals are very detrimental on many levels. Please do not enact these changes in the public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

People even parents and grandparents are so unaccepting to this subject at times, when that’s not going to change the outcome at the end of the day. They will be who they want to be, school should be a safe place for anyone to be who they want to be.

Schools have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students. No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotels rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex. Many children would be uncomfortable if they encountered  a member of the opposite sex, particularly adults, in gendered facilities. Schools should not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible \"gender transitions\".

While the intent of providing guidance on how transgender students are to be treated and protect them from bullying behavior, this guidance completely infringes upon the rights of everyone else.  To treat others as gender neutral is one thing, to allow completely co-ed restrooms and locker rooms without question is unacceptable.  Until you are able to reconfigure ALL schools to gender neutral restrooms and, more importantly locker rooms, (which is cost prohibitive), I do not want a boy (biologically) walking into the locker room with my daughter.  Not because I care about one way or another about the boy's choice (or preference), but because it would make MY daughter UNCOMFORTABLE.  Why does she need to be subjected to that environment?  In reverse, why does my son need to be subjected to a girl (biologically) who identifies as male having to get undressed in the same locker room or walk into the restroom while he is using a urinal?  Where is the protection for the MAJORITY? As for the protection of the students' preferences from their parents, who do you think you are?  Are school officials legal guardians now?  Where does this stop? These guidelines are unworkable.  That is without even getting into the moral implications.  Stop this madness now!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The policies being pushed forward are promoting a new standard of keeping parents in the dark regarding big ideas. The policies encourage children to seek guidance from the public school system, rather than partnering with the family to create a support network for the child. I will never support policy which intentionally eliminates the parent in any part of the child education. These policies also force those who do not religiously support it, to conform. I expect that regardless of the outcome, parents will receive FULL disclosure, communication on expectations, and options for those who oppose it based on religious beliefs.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If that is the case they have no dog in this fight and should not be able to push there opinion on others when it will not effect them whatsoever. Second lets go back to the start, a man has parts different from a woman at birth. Therefore they are different, if a boy chooses to be a woman I don't think anybody cares same thing if a woman wants to be a boy. This is America go ahead. But to have the state push these type of ideas on our children is unacceptable. Parents have the right to know what is going on in there kids life and although the school may not need to call and tell them if the parent reaches out the information should be there. They are not considered adults until they are 18 years of age right? you have to have the parents consent for anything until that point. If a child is bullying another student the parents should be involved to help correct the issue not left in the dark. The school does not decide how we discipline our children. If a child decides to be Transgender the parents need to know, this should be a conversation between parents and children not the school system. The fact you want to take kids away from parents if they do not agree is unconstitutional and highly inappropriate. These are kids who don't even know what they want after graduating high school mush less there identity. LEAVE IT TO THE PARENTS. To not allow religious exemptions is also unconstitutional. I don't care if your muslim, christian, catholic or budist. freedom of religion is being taken away primarily to the christian faith the country was founded on. Our currency still says in GOD we trust, so why are we doing things that go totally against that? Every student has the right to learn no doubt, no child should ever be bullied. These ideas come from the far left and in no way should be allowed as I have said before we are talking about innocent children. Its awful interesting how all this comes up like the people at the top really care about the students. Where have you been since last March? Why are we not back in schools full time? Why does no one really care about the kids and just stupid policy for a very small group of students? why would we add all this for a small group and potentially harm the large group? There are better alternatives that could be considered but our commonwealth and governor appear to join the far left in most cases. If you really want to help the children get them back in school learning from teachers, bring back the pledge of allegiance and focus on the child's future not liberal agenda.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I do not agree with the pressure by the media, hollywood, leftist politicians and inept parents to allow young children whose brains, body and emotions are not fully developed, to make such an uninformed, uneducated and dangerous decision to \"change\" the gender God had blessed them with in this life.  To me this means that you are saying God is fallible, which is wrong.  I do not want to go further into my beliefs nor judge a person for their actions (or inactions), but it does concern me that there is a promotion of something that will bring harm to an innocent child. This I will leave to God to make the ultimate judgement. Regardless of what the parent and child decide, be careful that you are looking to remove the rights of the majority (girls and women) in order to appease a select few.  Several years ago there was the \"Me Too\" movement to empower women to ensure their voice, safety and well-being.  This so-called policy will silence and discriminate against women - biological women.  Argue either way, I believe that becoming transgender is a choice.  If you believe that science is real, then you cannot in good conscience place a biological male in a situation where they are exposed to women in the locker room and bathroom. Science will not refute that biological males are more powerful in body, size, strength than biological women. The potential risks of severe bodily injury or even psychological and emotional injury during \"supposedly fair\" sporting competition will have a last effect. As the father of a teenage girl, I fear that you are placing emphasis that she and other young women, DO NOT MATTER.  You have a responsibility to her and all young women to encourage and support them in our public school system.  Again, being transgender is a choice.  If someone chooses this, then they have to accept the consequences that go along with it.  You are trying to please everyone, which is impossible.  Find a better solution that makes sense without taking away or disregarding the rights and opportunities of my daughter and the other young women in our school system. My children choose to pray in school.  Would you consider their First Amendment rights? Is that something you are willing to propose to the state? How is their choice of freedom of religion any different?  How about their right to peaceful assembly or to have a voice to be heard? Food for thought....\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

But by treating them as if they are completely normal only hurts them.  There are countless examples of people who have gone through a sex change and have greatly regretted it.  These individuals need help and need to be protected by not making this a \"normal\" thing.  Any other mental illness has many options for counseling and help. True love does not turn a blind eye nor does it support an individual in the guise of acceptance/tolerance while that person is doing something harmful to themselves.  By truly loving another person, one wishes what is best for that person.  Good parents will seek medical attention for their child if he is struggling with schizophrenia.  Parents who tell their child that their condition is completely normal and don't seek medical help are not helping their child.  The same logic applies to people struggling with gender dysphoria.  Let parents be parents and make these decisions for their children.  I do not want the state to decide when my child learns about this because they do not know my child.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While our schools need to focus on inclusion and less bullying across all areas, this will not help that. I strongly disagree with any proposal that silences one group. And this does that. It cuts the parents out of what is happening with sexual identity of children. It silences families that believe in sons, daughters and mom and dads. It cuts out any supper of families who do not agree with any part of this proposal by saying not agreeing is bullying. That’s not true. You can disagree and still love and include someone. Focus on inclusion of ALL. Also this seems to be a medical and mental health diagnosis which schools have no ability to make or hold up. I know because CCPS tells us all the time they cannot diagnose or even use the words dyslexic for my child, who is dyslexic, because it is a medically diagnosis and they cannot diagnosis medically. Gender should also be something a parent and medical is discussing. Once a family and medical team has established this, they may approach the school to create needs for child. But the public school should be doing nothing but including that child as every other child. This proposal doesn’t do that. Also, as a parent I have a right to know what body parts my young child may be exposed to at school. As in shared bathrooms and changing rooms. Again this proposal is not ok. Focus on inclusion not silencing groups as this does.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Trans youth don't deserve to be bullied or threatened just because of who they are.  They don't deserve to be assaulted or killed just because of who they are.  Their murderers shouldn't have the right to be shielded by hateful trans panic criminal defenses in court.  They don't deserve the indignity or public humiliation of being dead-named or misgendered by administrators, teachers or other students.  They don't deserve be excluded from gender-segregated spaces because of the sex they were assigned at birth.  Or barred from using the bathrooms or locker rooms that align with their brain gender.  They don't deserve to be denied social transition when they are pre-pubescent.  They don't deserve to be denied hormone blockers to avoid unwanted puberties when as they enter the age of puberty.  And they should be allowed transition hormones when they are fully secure in and confident of their brain gender, which often is well before they hit age 18.  I am sick of the anti-trans commenters who have peddled harmful myths and twisted exceptions as the mainstream, going so far as to deny trans people's very existence.  Lastly, extremist religious views, wrapped in the warped veil of \"religious freedom,\" should never entitle anyone the right to harm transgender people like me, especially the most vulnerable -- transgender youth.  Ever.  Please, please, please, pass these proposed protections for trans and non-binary students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Until gender reassignment surgeries are done, students and faculty should continue to use their birth given gender restrooms. That would protect both parties from false allegations that would arise. There are freedoms in place, and having such ridiculous proposal goes against freedom of speech!!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This will create a divide that may never be fixed.  I have taught my children to be respectful to everyone, but this will be undermining everything I have taught.  Basically, a transgender child will be in charge of a school system and that is fundamentally wrong.   Put policies in place that would hinder discrimination just like there is for minority groups, but do not place this group above anyone else.  If this passes, there will be an overwhelming decrease in the public education sector and more private and homeschooling.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is also an apparent paucity of medical knowledge amongst the general public as to best practices for caring for trans youth and trans populations in general. Most concerning is the overwhelming amount of hatred and fear that these oppositional comments display--it's telling that most of those were submitted \"anonymously\" or without an actual identifier.

We are talking about children, who are not old enough to make decisions for themselves. Why should our schools try to make decisions for them? Especially introducing one sided ideologies that everyone doesn't agree with. If this should occur, this allows any gender to go into any restroom or locker room without being questioned with other children who may not be comfortable with this, which could lead to those children to not use the restroom at all. This could result in medical issues from them holding going to the restroom for the whole day. Why should my children have to do this? This also could lead to an increase in sexual assault, teen pregnancies, and many other serious problems. If this bill should be approved, my children will not longer be attending a public school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

That safe, supportive environment must be gender affirming. Not only will it drastically improve the lives of trans or questioning students, it will improve the lives of cis students as well. So much of the stress of middle and high school revolves around trying to conform to the arbitrary standards of masculine or feminine imposed by society. Breaking down those barriers, showing male kids it's okay to like \"girly\" things, or female kids it's okay to enjoy \"masculine\" activities, as well as just more activities that put male and female students into the same arena where they can interact in non-gender segregated ways will help students grow up without many of the toxic stereotypes that infest our thinking. Support for Trans kids is support for all kids. Making schools safer for trans students makes schools safer for all students. I fully support this proposal, and note that those in opposition aren't actually concerned for students. They're simply uncomfortable with the idea, or just straight up bigots.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I know kids who were pushed down this path and then killed themselves when they understood that they had made a grave mistake and could not undo the harm.  This is a travesty and one of the largest medical experiments on children in all of history.  I am liberal and left-leaning and what is being proposed is WRONG. Do your homework - before many more children are harmed and sterilized. https://www.segm.org/ Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As well as doctors, specifically endocrinologists, are coming forward about the harms of medical/hormone transitions.  Long term effects are still not known.

I will not allow a child or grandchild of mine to attend a public school that I pay taxes for every day to ultimately confuse children to the point that there is absolutely no other explanation then God made you that way. By allowing such conduct you are inviting illegal and immoral acts amongst students. I will legally fight this all the way to the Supreme Court Or as far as I can possibly take it. If you want to make our country less divided then put religion (love) back in school.  I am at awe as to how this country has gotten to this place.  The only way to get it back is to put religion back in our country and in our schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Abuse of minors in the public school system is a very real danger, laws that would promote secrecy and pressure to conform to sexual content at the risk of being removed from one’s home will provide child predators huge leverage in our system. Also, while we want to believe that the people claiming a sexual identity different from their biological sex are being sincere, this law completely abolished protections for students against those who would misuse the law. Imagine an older male student using the female bathroom to prey on young women, and then threatening to report them as having anti-Trans views if they don’t comply with their sexual demands. That same student might be too afraid, as many young women are who are attacked, to come forward, fearing they might be removed from their home or punished in some way at school. We already have anti-bullying protections on the books, we do not need to turn our schools into re-education camps where people with peaceful opposing views are threatened for wanting to uphold their views in their own homes. This is a dangerous precedent to set. Imagine if the tables were turned and schools were teaching that you cannot identify as LGBT or you will be re-educated and made to deny yourself. Further yet that your LGBT status reflects on your home life and that you should be removed from your home. This is not the place of our education system, sexual politics and dangerous intrusions into the familial relationship are not appropriate. There are already laws that protect abused children and stop bullying at schools based on any sort of sexual, ethnic or racial basis. This is an unnecessary overstep that will open the door to great harm.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I wish there could be 100% individual facilities, but that is not feasible. For decades (centuries?) males have shared facilities with other males who have same sex attraction. While not a perfect system, it has worked reasonably well. The current problem this guidance wants to fix is not much different. In essence, the guidance takes a problem that affects a relatively small number of people and makes it a problem for a vastly larger number of people. While I am no expert, the way I see it you need one facility for people who anatomically, hormonally, psychologically, etc. are female and are attracted to males (group A let's call them). You need a second facility for people who anatomically, hormonally, and psychologically are male and are attracted to females (group B lets call them). That would take care of 95% or more of the population.  I do not know but perhaps private facilities can be provided for all others? (I am hesitant to say let's call them group C because I know these people could be grouped into several other groups based on combinations of anatomy, hormones, psychology, etc.) Some may claim this might ostracize those that use them, but what is called for is education, support, and information that those that use these private facilities are equal in worth and dignity with all others. They are simply different. The same way a woman is different from a man. Again I am sympathetic to those who do not fall into group A or B, but I am also concerned that a small number, particularly from group B, might use the policy to enter facilities meant for the other heterosexual group.  That would be disastrous. I addition, the guidance would allow students and administrators to circumvent the parents from all this. The parents are the primary caretakers for their children and if there is concern for the safety of the student, circumventing the parents will only sweep the mess under the carpet setting the stage for a potentially calamitous future situation. All in all, we need to go back to the drawing board on this issue.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These guidelines are based on radical theories that eradicate all distinctions between male and female and indoctrinate our school children. 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.

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.

Each and every child should feel welcomed and cared for by their educators. Unfortunately, the proposed Transgender Policy will not do that. Even though I consciously disagree with transgender culture, no student should be harassed. The state, however, desperately needs to reevaluate what constitutes harassment. I could just as easily argue that an adolescent boy who identifies as a girl who uses the girls’ restroom and openly changes for PE in the girls’ locker room with my 13 year-old 8th grader is in itself harassment. In fact, this policy is worded in such a way that would prohibit me as a teacher or parent, or even my daughter,  from reporting a boy lied about his identification just so he could get into the girls’ locker room, not a far-fetched notion for an adolescent teen of any gender. If a student is uncomfortable changing in a locker room or using a bathroom that is not specifically associated with the gender with whom he or she identifies, then a separate place should be provided. That satisfies the student discomfort without forcing other students’ discomfort. My second biggest issue with this policy is the state’s assertion that it knows better than a child’s parent. Parents should never be kept out of any discussion or decision that impacts their child in public school. In asserting otherwise, the state is trying to assume guardianship of that child, and that is wrong. In my opinion, education is overly involved in students’ home lives as it is because a lot of the public relies too heavily on schools to meet all the needs of their children, which is taxing the system. Finally, as a mandated reporter, I have had the obligation of notifying CPS, which I have done a few times in my 18 year career. Parents arguing with a child about transgender issues is not abuse. For goodness sake, parents have been raising their children since the beginning of time and arguing over several issues, especially with their teenage children. To say that makes them unsupportive and unloving is ridiculous. This policy is riddled with problems, assertions, and wording that, if passed as is, would create more problems, not protect the small population of students it is written for.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a high schooler, I was involved in multiple extracurricular activities, such as the ADL's Peer Training Program, where I had the privilege of working with and learning from trans and non-binary students at my school. While these niche spaces were quite affirming and allowed students of all gender identities and expressions to thrive, the overall school environment was not as welcoming and this produced a notable difference in how trans and non-binary students were able (or rather, not able) to come into this larger space and feel safe interacting with their peers and educators. As a former public school student and as a current social worker, I know that trans and non-binary students are more likely to be mistreated by students, teachers, and administrators than their cisgender counterparts. Trans and non-binary students have the right to the same education as any other student, but it much harder for them to have the same chance to succeed in their education if their very identity is being scrutinized, invalidated, or attacked at school. The study of human development tells us that the school environment plays a large role not only in a child's intellectual development, but in their socioemotional development, as well. It is therefore vital that we listen to trans and non-binary children, allow them agency over their identities, and set in place regulations that affirm their experiences and promote their wellbeing as they grow into adults. These model policies were drafted by an abundance of qualified stakeholders and community members, and I believe that the policies should be adopted as currently written in order to ensure that trans and non-binary students in Virginia are protected within our school systems.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I agree that no student should be bullied or threatened, especially those struggling with gender confusion, but requiring staff to address students by chosen gender pronouns poses a risk to the jobs of educators of all Abrahamic faiths. Many VA educators hold sincere religious beliefs regarding the nature of biological sex. Forcing teachers to use pronouns that go against the truth of biology is compelling speech and a violation of the first amendment rights of educators. As Christians, knowingly telling a lie or leading a child astray is a sin. We take very seriously Matthew 18:6 where Jesus warns \"whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were drown in the depths of the sea.\" VA DOE would be asking the educator not only to lead the gender confused child astray, but also to undermine the trust that teachers work so diligently to build with every student that is listening. As an educator of over 20 years, I have watched as my students learn and grow. It is natural for children to go through changes as they mature. Life changing decisions should not be left in the hands of minors while they are developing and experiencing hormonal changes. Many teachers, who care deeply for their students, will not affirm them in a lie that could lead them to seeking hormone treatments or unnecessary dangerous surgery that could sterilize them for life. Parents have the right to be made aware and involved in life changing decisions for their minor children. The VA DOE has the responsibility to protect students rights, as well as faculty and staff and parental rights in education. By moving forward with these proposed changes you  violate parental rights and leave teachers and schools vulnerable to lawsuits. These proposed policy changes put educators in the position to chose between sinning against their God or losing their job.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Let's propose a scenario. A young man claims to trans and asks to change in woman's locker room. Can you see where this is going? This provides an easy opportunity for misbehavior of many kinds. And even if the boy's, telling the truth that he believes he is this way, you're violating the privacy and endangering emotional health of an entire mass for a sole person. That doesn't seem fair. Instead, we should hold firm to what science proved through the human genome project that there are two genders, but that neither is better than the other nor should be treated as such. Man is no better than woman and vice a versa. Period. I do believe no child should face bullying or harassment. That is given and should be addressed for certain, but this policy goes too far by over-stepping the parents and hurting the majority for a few. How will this affect Muslim and other religious communities in the public school systems? Do they have a say on how they raise their child? It feels forced upon them. Do students who practice Judaism or other Abrahamic faiths have to forfeit their belief in two genders under threat on school punishment? Not everyone can afford private school. Especially during a pandemic. I feel this also creates a target on the backs trans-students in a way, opening up more ridicule and the potential for lashing out. As someone who has been bullied in Virginia schools, this sets me uneasy for their safety.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Accordingly, these supplies should be made available in all bathrooms to be gender-inclusive. and this: 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, and expression of gender identity can present differently from student to student. I see nowhere in these policies concern for my daughter's safety and comfort and well-being.  There is really no attempt whatsoever to prevent the inevitable situation of ill-intentioned boys going into girls' bathrooms, locker rooms, hotel/cabin rooms and simply stating that they are \"a girl\".  There are no guards to protect my daughter in this scenario. This anything goes approach will just open the floodgates to situations where our children will be forced to accept unwelcome behaviors that violate their dignity and innocence.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My husband and I should be able to decide how to raise our children. This legislation is an extreme overreach on the behalf of our government. For a school system to know about issues involving our child and not notify us is outrageous. When a child is at school and going by a different name/gender identity, the parents should know. It's obvious that something is wrong there, and it is the responsibility of the parent to seek help with that issue however they see fit. The duty of the school should be to report these requests to the parent immediately. Other parts of the legislation also remove parent rights and notification of what is happening at school with their minor children. If girls are changing in the locker room and a transgender male is allowed to enter the locker room at the same time, parents should be notified. I strongly oppose this legislation, and I hope and pray that it does not pass. Parents have the right to know what is going on with their children when they're at school. Schools should communicate that information with parents.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Nor should we consider subjecting our children to uncomfortable moments with a child of the opposite sex in the bathroom, locker room or sports team. Please think about your own young daughters, nieces or sisters. Please allow our family to share our own values while you share yours within the context of your home.

No matter what people may think or say about us, the health (mental, physical, and spiritual) of our children & grandchildren should be the priority before allowing the state to plant seeds of confusion that has been proven to lead to anxiety, depression and suicidal tendencies in those that attempt to live alternate identity lifestyles than how they were created. This is why I will be tackling this issue, along with the rest of the liberal sexual agenda, by making our church members aware of this by the following actions: > Showing the “In His Image” movie to our congregation  ( https://inhisimage.movie/ ) > Providing & discussing the following literature with all parents * Gender, A Conversation Guide for Parents and Pastors ( https://bit.ly/3p5qvo5 ) I hope that the church rises to the occasion for the sake of the next generation. Proclaiming the truth in love is imperative to combat the darkness (Eph.4:14-15).\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

What protection is there for the family unit if the school is teaching children to deceive and hide things from their parents?

Stop pretending that elementary,  middle school,  or high school kids are mature enough to make these types of decisions.  Most kids who FEEL like they can drive a car cannot and any caring parent would not give them the keys. We have a legal drinking age in this country even if you are serving in the military, why?  We don't want immature young sailors, soldiers, airmen, marines or guardsmen to openly use a substance that could negatively impact their performance. Sex misused or endorsement of ideas not consistent with their birth identity is basically giving a child the keys to a vehicle they are not licensed to drive after giving them a beer. Religious point of view aside, stop setting our teachers up for failure and creating further distractions and avenues for deviant behavior and lawsuits. As a former military supervisor I can attest to the disruption this causes for what is truly only 1% of the population. Parents should never be disqualified from helping their children navigate this subject. Simply appalled.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is no question of that. And Virginia has a good anti-bullying law. But this new, proposed policy goes way beyond prevention and crosses the line into 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. They may never be the same again and later deeply regret such a choice for many years after - https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2019/02/11/transgender-debate-transitioning-sex-gender-column/1894076002/ and experience much higher rates of suicide https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-transgender-non-binary-lgbtq-youth-suicide-trevor-project-survey-20200715-qz4wut4mwzdglfpzesc6akltky-story.html .

If they want to pursue transitioning- they can still do so when they are older and have a broader view to see if they still even desire to do so.

This is unconscionable and a hallmark of totalitarian governmental systems, not a free society. Parents have the right and responsibility to know what their children are being taught and what they are going through. How dare you propose to use my tax dollars to reduce my knowledge of my childrens' needs? I have serious concerns about a blanket responses to transgenderism. Children develop at different rates and learn in different ways. A programmatic approach to transgenderism is confusing. Underlying needs, such as depression and early childhood trauma could go unaddressed. Statistics show that most youth diagnosed with gender dysphoria outgrown the condition. Due to this and the many physical health concerns related to blocking hormones in developing adolescents, as well as the irreparable effects of invasive surgeries, there is a growing ethical movement among physicians who do not support gender altering medical intervention in youth. Many chronic and debilitating medical conditions could result. Transgenderism should be treated medically, not politically. Anything less than this is distorting and grossly irresponsible.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Each and every child should feel welcomed and cared for by their educators. Unfortunately, the proposed Transgender Policy will do the exact opposite of that. I do feel concerned for those students who identify as transgender; I want no student harassed. However, this proposal is only supporting a few individuals and promoting harassment towards many that still identify as their biological gender of male or female. Who is going to protect the young girl confronted with by a ‘male’ in the locker room, using the excuse of identifying as a female just to gain access to the girls? And who is going to protect the young ‘boy’ from being mocked by ‘girls claiming identification as a boy to gain access to the ‘male’ locker room? If a bill such as this is passed, will locker rooms/bathrooms be provided for those who want to be only with their biological identifying peers? Or are they no longer to be protected? This policy also puts teachers in harm’s way rather than protecting us and providing us an environment where we can do the job we have been called to do – teach. What protection is there for an individual (student, parent, or teacher) whose beliefs align with science (that DNA clearly defines a person's gender) to be able to practice their faith without being considered a bully or abusive? Furthermore, this policy is usurping authority from the parents. Parents are ultimately responsible for their children and should never be kept out of any discussion or decision that impacts their child. I oppose any laws or policies that shift authority for the health and wellbeing and moral instruction of children and minors away from parents and grants it to school employees. This policy is filled with problems, assertions, and wording that would create additional problems rather than providing protection and education for students in a safe happy environment. Stop Transgender Indoctrination in VA Schools\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

By imposing the beliefs outlined in this policy, it goes directly against many families' foundational, religious beliefs that God created men and women male and female and their anatomy reflects that. Moreover, young children are not emotionally ready to deal with such a difficult topic. Teenagers are in a state of turmoil and flux hormonally. The over-sexualization of our culture only adds to that confusion and turmoil. Finally, asking children, even teenagers - who are still children under the law - to share a bathroom or a changing room with someone who does not share their anatomy does more harm than good. Should the DOE go against common sense and science, we will be studying the fallout from this harmful policy for decades.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Counseling eight, nine or ten year old students, most of whom do not know their favorite flavor of ice cream, on whether they would like to change their gender (sic)* without consulting parents is particularly abhorrent. If the Commonwealth persists in imposing such policies, which many of its citizens vigorously oppose, it should also make a provision for school choice, through vouchers, for those who cannot afford the alternative to the secular ideology of the public schools. *BTW, when I was in school, \"gender\" was a grammar term.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Schools have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students.

If they want to be special put them in special classes together or give them transgender bathrooms and showers.  Why mess with the other 99% who know who they are and feel differently and want their own boy/girl bathrooms and shower facilities. Parents are responsible for their children, not the teachers.  No wonder parents are increasingly homeschooling or going to private schools.  Hey, maybe that is the idea.  Make less work for public schools. Make the teachers use the kids bathroom facilities and see how they feel about it. Insane ideas period.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The age group this applies to is so vulnerable and could create more confusion and damage to growing kids... Most of whom, cannot decide what to eat or wear or which toy to get. Kids need guidance from their parents who know and love them, not the government or school system wanting to replace the authority of parents. Parents should never be kept out of any discussion or decision that impacts their child in public school. I do not believe it is protecting ALL children's rights. This won't be safe for ALL kids. As we know, kids brains do not fully develop till they are in their 20s so to push this policy is VERY IRRESPONSIBLE and VERY DAMAGING. Also, teachers, who have already been through a lot this past year should not have to fear retaliation if they can't remember what to call someone, or if they have a conviction that male and female are distinct from each other.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While I understand they are aimed at aiding those who are in the midst of gender dysphoria, the proposed regulation would only spread the confusion concerning gender into our open classrooms and do little to aid those in distress, while denying parents their rights to be most intimately involved in their children's life decisions.  Schools will be permitted to help students, explore, facilitate and make decisions regarding their gender expression of sexual identity while at school without a parent even knowing!! Additionally, the definition of \"gender identity\" is totally subjective to each person claiming it, hence, it cannot possibly be known by any person other than the one claiming it.  Since it cannot be tested or ascertained by any objective method, nothing could prevent any student from constantly \"changing\" their \"gender identity\" to exploit situations to what they perceive as being to their advantage.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Yet, the recent trend toward approval of such dysphoria is causing youth to take hormones and permanently alter their anatomy which causes permanent harm to their reproductive abilities.  Suicide rates among this population are high and it's not because of a lack of acceptance since acceptance is at an all time high.  It is dangerous to the health of our youth to promote this risky behavior. In addition, while no one should be harassed in terms of physical harm, it is an extreme and radical step to punish teachers for speech that misuses a pronoun. Finally, it is the schools job to protect all students and not to cause harm or discomfort to those students who choose to identify with their birth sex by making them share bathrooms with those of different anatomy.  We should have anatomically correct bathroom policies so that kids can focus on learning reading, writing, and arithmetic and not be distracted or confused by things of a sexual nature at a young age.  The parts are different, the bathrooms should be different.  No matter what your belief about your anatomy is, if it looks different from each other, it should be afforded different space for changing, showering, etc. Please oppose this legislation.  It's not healthy or safe and does not promote a learning environment that will excel our youth in bettering the technological advancement of our country.

I strongly oppose forcing students to change clothes and share bathroom facilities with other students who are of the opposite sex anatomically.  I do not support forcing the VHSL to allow students to compete as the gender they want to be called. I strongly oppose forcing teachers to change pronouns daily. Adopting these proposed initiatives will be very harmful to a large number of students, and it will not address underlying issues that cause depression and anxiety.  On the contrary, it will create more anxiety for everyone affected by it.  Have any of the potentially harmful consequences even been considered? I do support modest dress codes for all students, those that de-emphasize physical attributes. I do support an environment with no bullying.  I do support parents and families. I support guidance counselors being available to counsel students who are depressed and help them to develop good, positive habits and skills for handling conflict. I taught in the public school system, and my students knew they could not harass or bully their classmates. I see that the schools have made a tremendous effort to confront bullying, let's keep that up!\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 effects of encouraging gender confusion in children.  Encouraging children to decide for themselves if they are male or female regardless 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 because of this which will further strain the already tight school systems budgets. There will be many parents that will simply pull their children out of public school and opt to homeschool rather than subject their children to this indoctrination. That will be a further detriment to Public education. I copied this from another commentator who is far more eloquent than myself, and I would add that perhaps Virginia schools might make better use of their taxpayer funded time by having a push to have every child that graduates being able to read, write and be mathematically proficient (they are not) instead of spending valuable resources on issues that are clearly the sphere of family life and values.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

A product of Newport News Public School system. I was not out during my high school years. However I always indicated I was more female inside when I attended. That being said, I have had several friends who were not on the gender binary during my school years. Many of them were rejected by even their own parents. These children, my FRIENDS, frequently hurt themselves due to rejection. I strongly welcomed them with open arms. I myself am now out, open and honest with myself. I am now transgender myself. During my HS years, I actively avoided the locker rooms because of this dysphoria. However, everyone is different. Those who are opposed due to \"men being in women places\" have it all wrong, Transgender Women are indeed women, so this argument holds no water. Further, there are already laws in place to protect women and men both from the fears they already have (predators using gender identity to prey on women/men). Also why is it always about \"men\" entering \"women\" bathrooms and never the other way around? Instead of pushing their viewpoints onto others and making the transgender individual feel like second class citizens, I propose we delegate those that are opposed to such policies be forced to use single-occupancy restrooms. This will solve the entire problem! Nobody is forcing the cisgender individual from using the bathroom assigned to their gender. They instead choose to force their viewpoints onto others. The transgender individual isn't the one with the issue, rather the cisgender person is the one with the issue here. Their rights stop where mine start. I am available for assistance if needed in helping transition to a more inclusive environment in our schools. I am not a professional (yet) however as I am trans, I can help provide lived experiences and will help in any way possible.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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.\" Virginia already has anti-bullying laws...use them! Stop ignoring the science/DNA of biological differences!  You are only hurting kids and my guess is you will lose good teachers who have to adhere to the ever-changing, confusing, cultural \"rules\".\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As policies like these continue to roll out, it breaks my heart to think of peers and younger children that will be collateral damage to these policies. Our government recognizes that even college age students like myself lack sufficient maturity to make wise decisions when it comes to handling substances like alcohol. Why are laws beginning to be passed to allow children to decide whether or not to receive hormones that have permanent effects on their bodies? Students spend their time in grades k-12 not just learning how to read and write and do math problems- they're learning about themselves and what it means to be a man or a woman. I am all for making everyone feel safe and happy, but I don't think it's responsible to encourage young children who are confused about their gender to embrace an ideology that has at best a questionable backing by science. Most children with gender dysphoria end up finding confidence in their physical bodies and sex ( source) . PLEASE consider the parents' opinions on this site. Parents are the ones who know what's best for their children and can provide the love and support to empower children to be their best. My parents certainly did that for me. Please hear the parents' voices.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

There is no question of that. And Virginia has a good anti-bullying law.

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.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I really feel that the measures this policy suggests will not help our children understand themselves and experience love in a community in the way we perhaps hope.  We should be cutting into something much deeper than what this policy points at; the easy thing and the right thing are often not the same thing.   Man or woman speaks of a biological half in reproduction; what kind of body are you biologically?  Sex and its associated pronouns do not have to mean anything more than that, but when we treat them as if they should, we make dangerous stereotypes, create a lot of confusion, and even promote the sense that some people don’t belong in their own bodies.  Sex doesn’t have to be confining insofar as what traits a person can have or what kind of dynamic should exist between a man and a woman, let alone among people of the same sex.  If we keep defining what sex we “should” be by the societal roles (by feelings, positions held, personality traits, interests, etc.) that people of particular sexes have played historically—thus shifting our pronouns and promoting shifts in our bodies for this reason—we will both lose our sense of self and continue to stake a great deal on things that distract us from ever knowing who we truly are.  It should be socially okay for a guy to spend more time with/feel more at home with girls or a girl to spend more time with/feel at home with guys, but we should take a closer look when we see that someone feels a need to actually be a sex that he or she is not.  There’s more to the picture than we’re considering.  When we simply promote the changes for fear of hurting someone (though sensitivity is 100% imperative) rather than seeking to see a person’s heart, we aren’t cutting to the roots of why a person would feel a need to actually change gender pronouns or even, in some cases, undergo actual body-changing (and potentially dangerous) procedures later in life.  This is not a prudent way to help our students. Beyond ramifications for students, it should be noted that this policy would put teachers who may hold legitimate personal or religious beliefs—not a desire to be unloving toward their students but a sense of moral obligation to love in the way they understand love—in a position that would force them to act against their beliefs or potentially lose their job, which would be inherently discriminatory and unconstitutional.  The state is not and should never act as if it ought to be a person’s highest dictate of moral authority, and if we desire true inclusion, we need to approach this issue differently.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is not based on medical science\nBody:\nThe definition of “Gender Identity” is completely subjective to each person claiming it. It cannot possibly be known by anyone except that person. It cannot be tested or ascertained by any objective method in direct contradistinction to a person's gender based on chromosome analysis or objective, observable anatomy. 400 times in my medical career I have declared to all present at a birth, \"It's a boy or it's a girl.\" That was a declaration of observable fact, it was not an assumption. Gender dysphoria exists as a subset of \"body dysphoria\" where a person's view of their body is distorted. An example of body dysphoria is eating disorders where a person views themselves as overweight and \"fat\" despite their objective weight or visible body characteristics. Yet we treat dysphoric individuals radically different. One we give hormonal medications or perform surgery to attempt to alter the body to align with dysphoric thinking. The other we therapeutically address the dysphoric thinking to align with the reality of the body. Would a physician perform liposuction at the request of an anorexic teenaged patient because the patient views themself (dysphorically) as obese? Would a physician perform liposuction and breast removal surgery at the request of a biologic/genetic female teenaged patient because the patient views themself as both obese and as a male when the patient is visibly neither obese nor anatomically a male? It is overtly abusive to force objectively determined male and female students to share positions on sports teams and locker room facilities with those claiming a subjective, dysphoric identity that overtly conflicts with visible reality.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Virginia has a good anti-bullying law. But this new, proposed policy crosses the line into mandatory promotion of politicized, sexualized ideology. Scientific studies and medical experts make clear the majority of children outgrow gender confusion by the time they reach adolescence; therefore it is, at best, irresponsible to push involuntary promotion of gender confusion in a public education setting, and, at worst, it could actually damage kids who are still developing. In addition, it is a scientifically false statement that people are just arbitrarily “assigned” a gender when they’re born.  This totally separates gender instruction from basic DNA science and biology. In addition, the draft policy clearly reveals the Virginia Department of Education wants this radical thinking incorporated in all educational content and curriculum, such as history, literature and science. Please reject this radical policy for the protection of all our children and their parents, families and teachers.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This draft guidance also seeks to undermine parents' authority to educate their children in the area of sexual mores. If imposed, this guidance will force students and parents who object to this offensive intrusion into this sensitive area, to either protest loudly and constantly, and, or pull their children out of Virginia's public schools. Accommodation may be able to be made for students suffering from the gender dysphoria disorder, but forcing this on all students and staff, and proposing to spy on and turn-in parent to CPS, is not only wrong-headed, it is an assault on the freedoms of conscience, expression, privacy, and religion.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Puberty is a confusing enough time for youth and it is also the time when they are most likely to experience sexual abuse for the first time.  We should do everything we can to protect youth, certainly from any sexual behavior by adults but also from sexual experiences that they don't want or aren't ready for in the context of peer relationships. We should all be able to agree that vulnerable children, including those who may be experiencing a sense of conflict between their birth sex and their own sense of gender identity should be respected. However, please consider the following in crafting final regulations: 1. It is absolutely unacceptable for schools to act in loco parentis with respect to a child's sexuality. School officials should never keep a minor's professed gender identity secret from parents or facilitate the child accessing any medications without parental approval. While access to puberty blockers do not appear to be part of the current draft regulations, I am concerned they might open the door to this in the future. If school officials are concerned that a child's home environment is abusive for any reason, they have the ability to involve CPS. They should be required to share relevant information about a child's health with parents. 2. I agree with the new regulations that the school should not enforce sex-specific dress codes. If a minor wants to dress in a way that is consistent with their personal preference but within the boundaries of the overall school dress code, that should be fine. Parents can decide what clothes they are okay with their child wearing to school. If this represents a change from the status quo, however, school dress codes should be clear about what parts of the body must be covered for all youth to promote student well-being (in other words, there should not be widely different standards for males and females). 3. Bathroom usage rules have become a political flashpoint. They shouldn't be. We need win/wins instead of win/lose propositions in public institutions. People, especially youth, should be able to toilet in privacy and safety. People should also be able to toilet in a way that does not subject them to harassment. I might be generally politically right of center, but bathroom wars annoy me. We should all be able to agree on both of the foregoing statements. What this means to me is that there will need to be major reconstruction of school bathrooms IF genetic males and females will be allowed to go in multi-person bathrooms previously labeled for the other sex. This is because we are dealing with people, and some (not necessarily transgender people) will take advantage of the new regulations to behave in unsafe ways. So, either, people toilet based on their genetic sex, which seems problematic for certain reasons, OR they toilet where they wish BUT the school bathroom stalls are updated to provide complete visual privacy. My daughters know what some kids at school are like and they are worried about being spied on by someone who might think it amusing or sexually gratifying. They don't want to change in locker rooms with someone who is a genetic male. That should be their choice and they should not be harassed for their privacy preference. If genetic males/females are allowed to change and toilet with females/males based on their current and perhaps changing sense of gender identity, then accommodations should be made to allow students who desire it to have whatever level of privacy makes them feel safe. 4. Names and pronouns appear to be another flashpoint for discussion. Again, everyone should be respected but \"everyone\" includes youth and school staff who recognize only two sexes. How do we deal with this? To be a civil society we need to respect everyone. Instead of simply imposing one point of view, can we come to a rational and respectful compromise? Surely, staff can refer to students as \"students\" instead of \"boys and girls.\" In one of the schools my daughter goes to, we have an excellent principal. He makes a point of learning every child's name and he encourages school staff to learn their names too. He wants everyone to feel \"seen.\" That's excellent. But schools have many children and, even if no one had an objection to doing so, it seems unreasonable to expect staff to learn any possible pronoun or nickname that a child may adopt, especially if these might be able to be changed frequently. No staff member or student should get in trouble simply for calling a child by the name that is recorded in school records.  One reasonable accommodation might be that someone who believes that there are two sexes might address youth only by the student’s name of record and not by pronouns. (whether their belief be based on their understanding of biology, sociology, faith, or conscience). Whatever changes are made should be made with common sense and respect for all persons in view. There should be a realistic appraisal of \"what could go wrong\" with a change, recognizing that some youth are prone to mischief and enjoy trying to get authority figures or peers in trouble. For example, what happens if a youth who has no symptoms of gender dysphoria decides they want to be addressed by a different nickname or a different set of pronouns each week? What if they decide they want to switch locker rooms from week to week? What if student A is in the locker room not associated with their genetic sex and makes an inappropriate comment to student B who tells staff about the comment: who gets in trouble -- is it student A for the inappropriate comment or student B for reporting it? Please know that I don't believe students who are experiencing gender dysphoria are especially likely to be these mischievous students. I tend to believe they will not, but that other students will take advantage of the rule changes to make trouble for their peers or staff. That should not be allowed. ...

Strongly support.\nBody:\nIt's really appalling to see how many people are viewing children's lives as expendable. It's unethical to think that juggling transgender rights is a game, instead of someone's reality. Transgender youth deserve protection, safety, and access to resources in order to have the same livelihood as other children. People need to invest in their own education regarding LGBTQ+ policies and protection. I support these policies to keep children safe. I support these policies because transgender rights isn't an option, it's a necessity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We cannot and will not accept this perversion as an acceptable environment in which we task our children to learn. This policy would make our public schools “unsafe,”prompting parents to remove their children (and their support) from public education, forcing them to find an alternative educational track. The church may facilitate this alternative to the greater extent. This drastic change would ultimately result in declined attendance, support, and resources available to all public schools. In the the end, children unable to afford or attend a private Christian school- will be hurt. I stand in strong opposition to this. God help us.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

But that's not the case.  Actual effects of these \"guidelines\": Gives public schools and faculty roles and authorities which it has never known, nor should it have.  It is not the function or purpose of the school system, or the government, to \"guide\" children in the discovery of their sexuality.  That belongs to the parents / guardians and to the children themselves.  The schools exist solely to educate our children, academics.  Even sports are only a function to support academics. Gives the schools / government a \"back door\" into the homes and rights and privileges of private families.  It violates the rights of families to guide their family's upbringing based on their religious, philosophical, and moral perspectives.  Nothing prevents a youth from choosing a different path when they become an adult, and this is very frequently the case. Inserts the government / schools / staff between children and their parents, and follows the pattern of stretching an ever expanding definition of \"abuse\" as a reason to do so.  Many times resulting in physically removing children from the parents, even if it's only for a temporary period.  It's traumatic for the parents & the children alike; and 80% of the time it turns out to have been completely unnecessary, if not completely false pretenses.  Parents are effectively put on \"notice\" and no protection or rights of parents is mentioned or acknowledged anywhere in these \"guidelines\". There is no consideration given to biological females who are uncomfortable with changing or using the restroom with biological males, and vice versa.  No guidelines provide for what qualifies as \"consistently affirming\" that they are male or female; it's completely subjective.  What about the rights of these to feel safe and secure in their person. While you may not want to admit it, every law or statute that is created to \"protect\" one group may be exploited by predators and / or others with some malintent for nefarious purposes.  There is nothing here that prevents that.  It is either incredibly naive, or sadistically purposeful to pretend that some children and / or some staff will not take advantage of an environment such as this would create.  There are always stories in the news of teachers, staff, or other students that are arrested and brought up on charges for inappropriate conduct toward other students.  How can you possibly pretend that this isn't a very real likelyhood? These guidelines would create a major distraction away from the purpose of being at school in the first place.  It is for these reasons that all boy and all girl schools exist.  No one blames children for wanting to explore things.  But having your school highlight and parade and encourage these things AT SCHOOL or even away from school creates an environment in which it is even more difficult to learn. Forcing people to use \"preferred pronouns\" is a violation of free speech; and one that goes against actual science and causes people to violate their conscience.  There are only two biological sexes; male and female.  Scientifically speaking, there are no others.  This attacks the most basic and fundamental and well understood and established truth of our humanity.  Then it attaches punishment for those who disagree with this unscientific and false view of biology, and offers absolutely no protections for religious or philosophical differences of view; rather, it attacks the ALREADY EXISTING RIGHTS of freedom of thought.  If we have a right to free speech, then we have a right to free thought. At every turn, the parents are kept \"in the dark\" about what is happening with their child.  Regardless of whether the student is \"experimenting\" with their \"sexual identity\" or being reprimanded for not using the proper \"preferred pronouns\", or if a child of the biologically opposite sex is changing or showering in their locker room or bathroom, no notice is given.  Previously, anytime I was sent to the principle's office, or some other notable situation arose, my parents always received a letter or phone call.  Parents are being told that they have no right to direct their children's upbringing, and are not allowed any assurances that their children will be protected. Both Virginia law (1-240.1) and the Supreme Court of the United States of America (Troxel vs. Granville) have affirmed that parents have the right to make decisions about the upbringing, education, and care of their own children, and that it's one of the oldest rights recognized in our country.  Virtually every line of these proposals violate these long upheld understandings / rights.  Our children belong to us and are not property of the state.  The educational system is there as a service to the people which benefits the state by having an educated populace.  It doesn't matter if you like it or not.  That's how it is. There already exists a massive movement against bullying.  There already exist policies that disallow discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, and ethnicity.  These \"model policies\" create far more problems than they solve.  To ram these guidelines down the throats of 99% of the population to protect an already protected 1%, is rightly seen as an attack against families and individuals of faith or philosophically different ideologies in the favor of those who differ.  And to pretend that this is an epidemic in our schools and society is the height of living in an illogical and disconnected, alternative reality at best; and a blatant, insidious, and desperately wicked scheme against the fabric of our society at worst. You have a few choices with these policies under consideration: Reject these policies completely. Remove them from consideration until all of these and other reasonable concerns have been properly addressed / fixed.  Or, Go ahead and pass these policies and prove to all of us what we al...

It is based on science and facts, and it aims at protecting the most vulnerable group within the student population. Thousands of people in the US do not fit the roles assigned by society based on sex and gender. This is an undeniable reality. The evidence lies on the testimonies and experiences of millions of people in the US and around the world who suffer from exclusion, discrimination and violence only because their gender and sexuality do not correspond with societal expectations and preconceived norms.  Evidence also shows that gender non-conforming youth are at highest risk of depression and suicide, caused by marginalization and bullying. Governments have an obligation to protect every citizen, especially our youth. A reading of Grimm v. Gloucester County School Board (4th Cir. 2020) leaves no doubt that the Guidance is constitutional. It also complies with the Virginia Human Rights Act, and the right to equality as established in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, signed by the US in 1977 and ratified in 1992. The most important reason to support this Guidance, is that it is the right thing to do.  The Guidance does not force anyone to do anything and it does not put any other group at risk.  The argument made by some people that integrating trans people may put girls at risk in schools is unfounded.  Gender and sexual based violence against girls is a serious problem, but it does not come from trans people. The Guidance is a move in the right direction to assert the right to equality of some of our most vulnerable kids and teenagers.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Since the day children are born they are identified as male or female based in their dna. Creating an environment of confusion for children and being punished for the use of pronouns is ridiculous. My children would be extremely uncomfortable if a male used the same restroom and locker room. They would not feel safe and have already expressed their concerns with me on the topic. Do you care about my daughters safety?? It is a parents responsibility to discuss social aspects of their life. It’s the schools responsibility to educate my child on core curriculum (math, science, language, etc). They should not be discussion sexuality or gender confusion without parental permission.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy/bill as written goes FAR beyond equality for transgender students.  It essentially mandates promotion of gender confusion to young children, and specifically provides a divisive \"privacy\" mechanism for the school system to separate children from their parents.  People are paying attention now more than ever to what is going on in our school systems.  You clearly have not thought through the ramifications of continuing to force another radical policy (CRT wasn't enough?), further indoctrinating our children.  You are giving the masses no choice but to re-locate, homeschool or send to private.  Our children will not be your pawns in political agendas and identity politics.

Obviously no. Doesn't that question make some parents feel like the school system and the government are taking control of their children's identity which comes from the parents DNA and not the school system or from any level of government, or the Supreme Court? Back off, please. Changing sexual identity does not align with DNA (not to mention physiology) which very clearly identifies kids and grownups as male or female. Have you ever looked at a DNA strand? I have. Besides ignoring biological fact, isn't it presumptuous or even arrogant to think that by changing one's identity, one will or can change their DNA? DNA is like gravity. It is given. It has rules and tendencies. You learn to live with them and they can actually offer some benefits. Kids can and mostly do work through sexual identity issues without being told who and what they are by the school system or the government. Leave the duty of affirmation to their parents. Back off, please. If the County and the Commonwealth declare no relationship between DNA and sexual identity, and the abolition of sexual identity becomes the basis of law, isn't that totalitarianism? Strikes me as edging towards Nazi Germany. Male and female identification since the history of civilization has never been mandated or considered totalitarian. It just is. It is natural law. Male and female are actually a one of many bases for unity among civilizations for millennia. Work with it, folks as civilizations have for the past thousand of years. The assignment by any level of government of sexual identity erodes unity in our culture. We own our identity, not any level of government. Do we really need this issue to further divide us given the current broader political climate and divisiveness in the U.S. and specifically in Virginia and Loudoun County? Don't fix what is not broken. My vote is no.  Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

And everyone has a right to a fair  education. When it starts infringing on others is where my problems lie. These pronouns and how to use them properly in the possessive and reflexive forms will be extremely confusing for elementary students, teachers, high schoolers, etc. Will we also begin teaching elementary schoolers him/her/zir/eir, etc during language arts class? The list is not exhaustive. A simple google search of gender neutral pronouns will yield 16+ gender neutral pronouns. Will elementary students be required to address transgender teachers with their pronouns? This question and many others lie ahead before this policy can be put into place. The draft policy states the following: “Many transgender students will adopt the gender pronouns associated with their gender identity, but a growing number are using gender-neutral pronouns. Some examples of commonly used pronouns include she/her/hers, he/him/his as well as gender-neutral pronouns such as they/them/their and ze/hir/hirs.” “A school employee’s intentional and persistent refusal to respect a student’s asserted name and pronoun is considered discriminatory. Schools also should be prepared for genuinely innocent confusion or uncertainty that may come up from school staff and students. Existing school board policies, including anti-discrimination, harassment, and bullying policies, may need to be adjusted or clarified relating to processes that address when a school staff member fails to comply with the student’s request or an administrator’s directive to use the asserted name and pronoun.” Does this stop with staff members? Will my children be expelled for bullying for not using a made up pronoun when referring to another student? What about children with autism who think in black and white? Boys exist and girls exist. There is no inbetween for them. Will a special needs child be expelled for failing to recognize a ze? The consequences for not adhering to these policies, for teachers, students, and SPED students, should be hashed out before this policy goes into effect. Otherwise, it may be confusing for all parties. I’m grateful that they make space for accidents. However, actually remembering how to properly use each  pronoun may prove to be difficult. I can’t imagine being a high school teacher in a progressive area and having to remember which of these made up pronouns to use (see gender neutral pronoun chart) for each student and facing disciplinary action if it persists. Furthermore, it opens up teachers and schools for lawsuits. How is one to defend that it was a mistake verses persistent misusage? Also, I’m saddened to see that there will be no more homecoming/prom king and queen, no more daddy/daughter dances, etc. this policy manual calls for the reduction and elimination of such. I’m thankful my daughter was able to attend a Daddy/Daughter dance at her elementary school prior to this policy going into effect. The existence of transgender children is rare (I can’t even find any statistics on transgender children under the age of 13) at this age, and to have to eliminate it for all seems excessive. Also, there are no parent advocacy groups listed on the resources appendix. Only seemingly pro-LGBTQ+ groups and individuals. This seems very one-sided. Are these the groups that were allowed to craft this policy? Were cisgender parent advocacy groups invited to participate? It mentions diversity, yet I see no mention of groups such as the American Family Association. Also, let’s throw religion into the mix. Requiring a child or a teacher, who believes in God and that God created the male and the female, nothing in between and nothing outside of the binary system, to acknowledge a transgender/non-binary pronoun could be viewed as an infringement upon their religious beliefs. Before a policy is put into place, this needs to be addressed. The intent of this policy, to protect the transgender students, is respected. However, at a minimum, it allows for the rights of other students to be infringed upon. This policy needs to be reworked and the input of cisgendered parent advocacy groups should be considered. From a legal perspective, a number of “what-if” scenarios and “what happens when...” should be addressed.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Two key issues in my mind. First, I can never agree that any information of things happening in school should be kept from the parents. The responsibility of education is given by God to the parents of the child (this is stated in the bible). While I recognize that some parents, probably need to have some intervention, this law would set up a situation that would make this parents vs the school, which doesn't benefit the student when education requires cooperation between both. Secondly, the numbers and statistics of sexual related crimes are on the increase so significantly, I just cannot imagine the temptation of students to play games and make things up for the sake of satisfaction because they are allowed to by the \"rules\".\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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

As a DIS and Health Counselor often interviewing LGBTQ* youth, I can’t imagine anything more important than protecting the lives of young people period. The fact that this is debatable, while violence, harassment, inequity in access to healthcare, and ultimately suicide plagues CHILDREN which is what they are, seems cruel and inhumane. It’s simply impractical and nonsensical even from a policy and prevention perspective. I’m not here to make an emotional appeal, since having a heart that rises above implicit bias to drive equitable change is apparently rare. This guidance is ultimately practical and beneficial overall, in relieving an unnecessary burden from teachers, parents, and staff. Research is clear. Professionals are clear. Data and numbers lack bias and prejudice. It would be a shame to deprive children of equity and access at their place of education, because of the feelings of some unaffected and unburdened citizens. These children already deal with similar prejudice outside of school in almost every realm. Shouldn’t school be a safe place?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

VDOE has a legal obligation to provide an environment for any and all children to learn, without harassment from their peers, their educators, or from intentional or unintentional mistreatment by the educational system. Virginia has not always been quick to react as changes in society take place. The school system is a perfect place to teach trans/nonbinary students that they are welcome, and to teach others to welcome these students.

I gave birth to my child; I want to teach my own child about these things.  This Policy weakens/undermines my role as a parent. -Allowing any gender into any bathroom/locker room will open the way for sexual assault - including upon the very students pushing for such things.  It will, in addition, cause difficulty and embarrassment for students who prefer gender specific bathrooms. -A gender-neutral dress code allowing girls to go topless is radical at best, and will prove to be very disruptive to a functioning school environment. -This policy does not address the rights of teachers, parents, and children who do not agree with these mandates.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However I believe this is a parental issue and very personal between a child, family, and counselors. The new policies trying to be implemented into our public schools are dangerous to our children, parent/child relationship, parents rights, protection of all children involved, unlawful rights given to teachers/counselors, safety violations of our young men and women in locker rooms and restrooms, lawful rights being taken away from unwilling participants, sexual exploitation of our most vulnerable...our children. These new policies should never be implemented in our public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Some of the vital work of adolescent development is to explore issues of identity separate from one's parents.  Respect for youth's privacy and autonomy is important to their well-being, and so much more so for trans youth, who face so many dangers.  I see comments opposing the protections, and particularly the privacy aspects.  While I understand the concern of parents who want to know when their child is going through struggles, the way for parents to address that is for parents themselves to be open and receptive to information from their children.  Trans youth face multiple threats, and two of these are suicide and homelessness.  Outing trans youth to their parents puts them at risk of homelessness and violence or at greater risk of suicide if they feel they have to hide their identity at school as well as at home and have no outlet for expressing themselves.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Protections must be in place to keep policies from being abused and allowances must be made to accommodate everyone involved.

Now I teach my kids to love and respect everybody of any gender, race, whatever. But the first time a little boy goes in the dressing room and makes her feel uncomfortable during school or a sport or whatever we have a problem. She has a right also to be comfortable with changing and she has rights as well. Nobody is going to steer my child into thinking she’s something she’s not. She has a mind of her own as well. So if she grows up and chooses to not like boys I will love her the same. If she is brainwashed into this I guess I will be a child abuser because I WILL NOT tolerate this. If she is made to a certain type of way because “Johnny” wants to get dressed in the same room watching her AGAIN I guess I will be a child abuser because over my dead body and I will roll up in that school and it will be a problem!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We cannot continue to force people to follow a false gender binary of man/woman and nothing else that is determined only by physical attributes. Children know who and what they are and we as adults must allow them to grow and develop into the people they wish to be. There are countless people who do not fit into any physical or even genetic box of \"male\" or \"female\" and gender non-conforming youth need to have a safe space to learn and grow just as their gender conforming peers have. No child should feel unsafe or unwelcomed in their school for their gender and sexuality. The idea that cis girls will be threatened by trans students in school rest rooms is an unfounded claim, and in fact, trans youth are the ones at heightened risk for abuse and discrimination. This is not a topic of religion or faith, but facts, legality and compassion. State and local government in Virginia already have a precedent in the case of Grim v. Gloucester County County School Board (4th Cir. 2020), that protects the rights of transgender students in public school settings and has been determined to be constitutional. This argument has already been won from this case. This guidance is a progressive move for all students towards a less prejudiced Virginia.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These guidelines are not just essential, but provide resources so that school staff and have the needed tools to comply with the law.  Trans inclusive policies are life-changing and life-saving for the Commonwealth's most vulnerable youth, but in truth research consistently demonstrates that they benefit ALL students. A review of the comments received as part of the open comment period clearly show fear which exemplifies the need for education.  Trans persons exist in every culture, society, religion, race, and country.  Inclusive policies do not 'welcome' a discussion on gender into our schools; trans students are already there and they are as deserving of and have the same right to a Free Appropriate Public Education. With regard to Student Identity, I am concerned that the Model Policy is not aspirational and instead cowers in the face of parents who are not supportive of a student's trans identity. This defeats the whole point of a Model Policy which should provide guidance for how schools can meet the needs of the student while not endangering the student outside of school and/or disrespecting the parents.  Schools can honor a student's name and pronouns while also using legal and assigned sex in discussions with parents.  The guidance can also recognize that the journey to acceptance takes time and than not every parent reaches acceptance. This can cause dysphoria and life endangerment to the young person. When schools closed due to the pandemic, The Trevor Project experienced a tremendous volume increase in their calls as young people who had depended on schools for needed validation, support, and affirmation lost such. Calls in general to CPS have deceased because staff isn't able to put an eye on students to ensure safety. Distance learning demonstrated the role schools play in students' lives. Rather than diminish that role, we should take the opportunity to explicitly define it. The demeaning and fear-mongering comments on this thread evidence the dire need for education and an understanding of the developmental normalcy and legitmacy of gender diversity. I implore the Department of Education to continue with the Model Policy with the understanding and recognition that such is required by law, and this document merely provides the guidance and support school districts need to comply with the law. By and large, many school districts are already doing what is right for kids and a significant number already have trans-inclusive policies.  This is best practices, what kids need, and what kids deserve. There should be no hesitation or backpedaling in doing what the DOE and the Commonwealth know is necessary and right. The guidance itself was written through contributions of educators, parents, religious organizations, and students across the Commonwealth. Now is the time to provide schools with the resources they need to comply with existing regulation which will help to ensure that trans* and gender diverse youth are able to attend school with both physical and psychological safety.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I'm also not sure of the 1st amendment legal scholarship that went into the proposed guidelines.

This absolutely includes all trans and nonbinary people. Schools must be a safe and welcoming place for all students - and this includes trans and nonbinary students. Sometimes, school may be the safest place they have, as unfortunately not all families are accepting and loving the way they should be. And this less to abuse and death more than in any other demographic. Providing a safe and accepting space that respects the needs of trans and nonbinary students should not even be up for debate. This is a basic human right. They are not harming anyone by just being who they are. But denying them this is causing irreparable harm. Schools must accomodate trans and nonbinary students by respecting their pronouns and names, ensuring they have proper restroom and locker room privileges that make the feel safe and not singled out, training for teachers, staff, counselors and social workers for handling the challenges faced by these students and advocating for their rights, as well as knowing how to ensure they are safe outside of school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Doctors don't assign the sex of a baby at birth as if it is a decision for them to make.  They just observe and report the genitalia they see.  Why don't parents just wait to name their child until after he/she/it has had time to decide which sex it will identify with?  Such policies do a disservice to our children.  We all have to accept what we are endowed with at birth.  We each have talents and limitations, even weaknesses.  Achieving adulthood is a process of maximizing one while overcoming the other. Happiness is not derived from bemoaning the physical characteristics you were born with and fixating on how to change them.  Society should not enable unhealthy fixations and behavior.  We will sow what we reap.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Without it, too many school boards are reluctant to codify policies that protect transgender students for fear of the political fallout. It angers me that so many still see LGBTQ issues as political issues that one can choose or not choose to support. Our transgender students are not trying to make a political statement. These are not political issues. They are human issues, and it shouldn't be choice whether or not we provide equal access, rights, and protections to these students.

If a home is to be built on trust, love and guidance, a school should not intervene and keep huge developmental red flags from parents. Red flags being wanting to be a different gender, risk for suicide, sharing bathrooms, distracting from curriculum/learning and overall drastic changes to the education system, as we know it. Furthermore, a child is developing and trying on new ideas and noticing what it means to be one sex or the other. With this vulnerable child development phases of industry versus inferiority or role versus identity confusion, a school is not the pillar for these children - the family is. Schools do not have the right to intervene and encourage new age philosophies. Transgender situations happen for a very small percentage (0.58% US 2016, World Population Review) of folks, so why subject the population at large to the challenges of a few? Also, a large majority of transgender individuals end up wanting to reverse their transformation. From a scientist perspective, your genes determine your sex. A man will not conceive and a women will not embody as much physical strength, naturally. Schools jumping into medical and political fields, will just leave resource-less education systems that much worse. People will pull their kids into private schools and/or move to more conservative locations; thus poor, physically stuck children will be jeopardized further from this experimental school situation. Don't let this happen. Preserve what American families and education systems have left. Oppose these drastic changes before it's too late.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are biological traits that determine gender, not whim or preference.  These are not \"decisions\" that anyone can make, let alone children.  We should not further muddy the waters with this ridiculous set of rules and regulations.  Those struggling with gender confusion need counselling and help, not acceptance and encouragement.  We are on a very slippery slope, and this only speeds up our descent.  We already have laws and regulations to address bullying and discrimination...we don't need to add a litany of new laws to specifically address each and every possible scenario.  It is interesting to note most of the supporting comments come from a well orchestrated movement from the LBTGQ community, and not Virginia residents.  Please do not adopt these new regulations.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Science in no way can speak to gender preference since it isn't rooted in anything scientific... it is relative to each person as they feel on any particular day. In fact, science itself reveals the binary nature of sexuality biologically. Follow the science! To give power to the school systems to help a child develop the identity of a child is to strip parents of their privilege and responsibility. Government does not have unlimited authority over the family unit; government only has the responsibility to preserve and protect the family unit. These troubling policies proposed by VDOE are totally unworkable and will force all students, faculty, administrators, and parents 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.

As an eductor with over thirty years of teaching experience, I know first-hand how important it is for students to be able to be their authentic selves in the classroom. It is difficult to do anything well in life if we are hiding who we are, if we are constantly trying to avoid detection, if we are feeling scared and silenced. How are students expected to learn if they cannot be their true selves in our classroom? And isn't that what we're teaching anyway --- how to be YOU. 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.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This issue is near to my heart as an educator and a mother. I am proud to be the GSA faculty sponsor at the high school where I teach. My students formed the Genders and Sexualities Alliance several years ago because a safe and welcoming space was sorely needed for them. Our numbers have grown until we're the largest club in school, and that speaks to the necessity of our purpose. I see, every day, the anguish and difficulties that LGBTQ+ students face. I have taught several transgender and nonbinary students, and it is horrifying to me that we even have to discuss protecting them. Why isn't that immediately obvious? Our goal should be to always protect and honor every student we teach. 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. Their rate of suicide is far higher than their cisgender peers, and that's simply unacceptable. Supporting trans students is suicide prevention. 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, Megan Patrick VA Educator and Parent\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While I support the desire to make sure no student is the victim of discrimination, bullying or unfair treatment, I do not support what boils down to \"special treatment\" for transgender students at the expense of others. In the interest of fairness, safety and to reduce emotional trauma of all involved I would request that the policy be amended to provide an adequate number of single use bathroom, shower and locker facilities for use by those desiring privacy.  In my opinion this is the healthiest and kindest way to manage students with gender identity issues and to reduce negative discrimination of said students.

When I was 16, I started a support group for LGBTQ+ youth in my community. We met monthly at the public library for over a year (pre-Coid-19). It was not much, nothing fancy, and still it was magical for too many of the members. I say the magic they felt is unfortunate only because basic support shouldn’t be so rare. I wish it weren’t the only safe place they had in their life. Many of their stories shocked me, like the 7th grader who had to go the bathroom at the opposite end of their school because there was a teacher (not theirs) who would yell at them if they saw them stepping into the one they felt most comfortable in. Policies such as the one proposed are necessary to stop such harassment was taking place and hopefully will lead to such bullies being held accountable for their actions. Students ought to be protected from harassment in school. Students are being harassed for their gender, what they wear, and which bathroom they use by both other students and teachers. This is not acceptable. I should not have been the closest thing they had to an authority figure who treated them with respect. They deserve better. 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. 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. These policies make a difference. Sincerely, Whit Flores (they/them)\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I ask when a male student who does not identify as transgender, but his girlfriend is in the locker room and they want to dress out there, what's stopping them from doing inappropriate things.  I foresee rapes increasing, molestations increasing, suicide increasing, peer pressure increasing, prejudices increasing, and the list goes on. The only thing I am in favor of is a separate bathroom, changing room, and showers for those who desire accommodations. Also there should be equal teaching, accommodations, and opportunities for those who abide by theirs God-given sexual orientation. Most legislations seems very one sided to me.

Children will manipulate these policies, children will be taken from loving homes and placed in foster care. Do we really need more children with mental health issues in foster care?  I had a friend whose 5 year old child actually thought she was a dog, they even ate out of the dog bowl. This went on for a while, we were correct to tell this child based on what body you have, you are not a dog. Same applies to being male and female. You are or you are not. Transgenders do not commit suicide more likely because they do not get support, it is because they have a mental illness that needs to be addressed.  Same a depression. Children are notorious copy cats of their peers, think the ripple effect.  Please stick to education, math, language arts, science, history, not hotly debated social problems.

For anyone out there who is claiming science, I am sorry but recent events have proven that we can quote sources on either side, and we get nowhere. These folks have put much time and energy into credible, peer-reviewed studies, and they know what they are talking about. As a high school teacher for the past 16 years at a school where many students are transgender or non-binary, I can say from experience that this will help kids. At our school we already do most of this stuff and have had almost no issues with parents or kids complaining about bathrooms or pronouns for many years. It is good to have this guidance on how to handle problems that could arise, but for the most part I have seen that students intuitively get it. So thank you, to the people who have developed this based on science and lead by love. It is really amazing how far we have come but also, how much work it takes just do to the right thing.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These policies are based on best practices which have been thoroughly researched.  It is critical for our childrens' emotional and physical well-being to provide them with the support they need and deserve.  My own child was in 5th grade (2010) when we realized that it was necessary to support his gender identity.  We got ourselves educated, talked to medical experts in the field, and realized how important family support was to his well-being. We tried to help educate his teachers & counselors, who were sympathetic, but we were out of our depth.  I am relieved that these policies are finally being introduced.   Fortunately, my son is a happy, healthy 20-year old sophomore at Va Tech.  It wasn't always easy, but we persevered and did the right thing.  Please help make the school atmosphere easier for today's non-binary children.   Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

All students have the right to feel safe and secure in their school and to thrive and reach their full potential. My youngest is gender queer.  They have bravely come forward to be their authentic self. However, they waited until they were an adult before doing so. I can only imagine how difficult it would have been had they done so in their K-12 years.  Too many transgender and nonbinary students in our schools have been bullied, discriminated against, mocked and stripped of the dignity owed to all students. Teachers, staff, administrators and students play such an important role in the academic achievement and social well-being of our children.  They make all the difference in whether a child, teen or young adult feels respected and accepted. These policies will enable our schools to be a haven where children learn, follow their passions and achieve their dreams. Too many children who have not received such support have either contemplated, or committed, suicide.  That is tragic. I commend you for drafting this guidance and encourage you to adopt it so that our schools throughout the Commonwealth welcome all and educate our students to be caring, compassionate citizens of the world. Sincerely, Lu Ann Maciulla McNabb\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I oppose bullying, harassment and discrimination of any child in school and support transgender students and their families. I believe that transgender students should have the right to self-determine their gender expression (names, pronouns, and dress code) in schools and that school records should be updated accordingly. Additionally, schools should provide for non-segregation in facilities, in extra-curriculars and classes and training for school mental health professionals, at a minimum, should be mandated. All children in the Commonwealth of Virginia deserve to be accepted and honored for who they are. Let's do the right thing and make that official and enforceable.

If they are online or in person if that student shows up to school, there is some part of them that desires to learn. Every single one of these students that comes to learn should be able to in an accepting, supporting environment. This seems like an unreasonable goal, but one we should aim for. If this environment is lacking, there will be a loss of motivation and effort in school. Isn’t the educators job to educate kids no matter their situation. To be impartial to their students differences and teach them to their best ability. I believe there should be a smooth transition to these changes to ensure the safety and security of all students; nonetheless a change must happen. Times are changing and adapting to the change will do more substantially more good than fighting it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

For families who don't believe gender is a choice, this is disrespectful and a complete attack on our values. Welcoming a child into school is one thing, forcing every student and family to agree with their choices despite their discomfort, is different. This is a slippery slope that will take us to who knows where. I respect my friend who smokes, or marries someone new every two years, that doesn't mean I would teach my children to make those choices.

What these children need is to be reminded of the love God has for them and who God created them to be.  They need adults to help them through their confusion, not offer them more confusion to pile on top.  The only way for these children to find true happiness is to be reminded of the fact that they are God's children and He has loved them from before he created them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

CHILDREN who need this. the fact that some of the people here commenting can't get that through their heads astounds me. believe it or not bill, scott, and \"american patriot\"- this isn't about you. it's about people facing struggles that you don't understand and that they don't need to be facing in the first place. actually, it's about  students AKA people so young you probably don't even remember being thier age, pam. and if you do i'm willing to bet good money it's moderately positive memories and not gender and identity discrimination. these kids are put in positions you and i aren't. you simply don't know what it's like for them. who are you to decide what they do or don't need and/or deserve? who gave you those credentials? and just so we're all clear: it's a scientific fact that gender is NOT a binary. the only people going against science here are the uneducated conservatives obsessed with the idea that there are exactly two sexes and exactly two genders. you're wrong and throwing hissy fits about students being treated properly despite being (what you have incorrectly decided is) \"against science\" is only showing your lack of knowledge on the subject and the fact that no one should take you seriously. either research these topics correctly and listen to scientists or don't give your unwanted, oppressive \"opinions\". human rights aren't opinions. and on that note: being against human rights isn't really a cute look. if you're sincerely concerned about this getting passed- i suggest you do some serious self reflecting.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is also a place many students use as an escape because it is supposed to be a judgment-free zone. Trans students should feel safe in the buildings, and there is no good reason to deny them an environment that is harassment-free. I have gone through a lot of comments that do not support this, and the main argument I see is that it goes against religious values that are mostly Christain ideals. So let me say this, the topic of religion is already kept out of schools to avoid conflict. By saying this bill shouldn't be passed because it goes against your beliefs is harmful to those who are not part of your religion. In no situation should your religion be pressed onto others. Religion is supposed to help people feel safe and secure, but using it as a method to deny other kids safety is completely wrong. People also seem against using the preferred pronouns of students. Everybody has preferred pronouns, even straight people. Pronouns are like your name, they are a method of identification. That is why if you have a nickname you ask people to call you by it. It's the same with pronouns. If you respect student's nicknames in school, you should respect their pronouns too. Sex is biological, gender isn't, so stop with that argument. As a student in Virginia, I see no reason not to pass this bill. The majority of people who oppose it are, quite frankly, old and are not even affected by this because they aren't even in the buildings. If you are so distraught by kids finding their identity I think you should ask yourself why it bothers you so much. Living a life of judgment and worrying is much more harmful to yourself. Schools are a place for learning, not hating on others, and if other student's self-identity troubles you, maybe online school is the place for you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Teach reading writing and math!\nBody:\n“School divisions will need to consider the health and safety of the student in situations where students may not want their parents to know about their transgender status … There are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student’s request to affirm their gender identity...” (Recommended Standard, p.12) This is not your job.  It is a parents job.  Stop overstepping! 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. Stop promoting confusion.  The person is a \"he\" or \"she\" until they are an adult. The fact that he/she can be elimited is wrong and so is the fact that you want people to be punished for calling someone what they are. “In addition to adhering to all legal standards of confidentiality, school personnel shall treat information relating to a student’s transgender status as being particularly sensitive, shall not disclose it to other students and parents, and shall only disclose to other school personnel with a legitimate educational interest.” (Draft Policy, p.12) “Access to facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to a student’s gender identity shall be available to all students.” (Draft Policy, p.18) “School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.” (Recommended Standard, p.18) Such a dangerous policies that will endanger our young girls. Please stick with teaching reading, writing, and math.  That is what will have a positive impact on our children. “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) Students should never he interigated without the parents being present. You are not be sensitive to the fact there will be many false accusations to ruin a child's life. The policies totally ignore those who have religious beliefs, or scientific beliefs that are contrary to the policies that you are pushing.  These are not the thoughts of the majority. VOTE NO!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

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. 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. 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. If passed, our children will be pulled out of Virginia Public Schools and we will seek employment elsewhere.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These are just a few of the problems in the proposed guidelines.  Please do not enact them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Specifically, these guidelines explicitly allow unelected school administrators to withhold important information from parents regarding their children.  Furthermore, these guidelines extend beyond the school to specifically stipulate that parents could be held liable for child abuse solely for not affirming a child’s stated gender preference at any particular time.  In effect, these guidelines marginalize parents even further by usurping parents’ deeply held moral or religious convictions as they apply to how they raise their children, and even to the very essence of humanity itself. These guidelines, presented without actual debate, do not mention minimum age of child, suggesting that they still apply even when child is too young to be aware of the importance of such a decision has on their life.  These guidelines have no rational scientific basis, rather, they rely strictly on a child’s emotional whims at any particular moment.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

School districts should work in conjunction with parents, not actively undermine them. The damage caused to the family relationship will have long term psychological impacts that will harm children. Also, users of restrooms / locker rooms should know they are protected from opposite genders. Again, transgender students need to be protected, but this goes far beyond just protection and promotes bad policy that will lead to harm of the child, both transgender and natural gender.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We must follow the biology and if you are born a boy then that is who you are. If you are born a girl then you are a girl. No need to confuse the children, they have enough issues growing up in this difficult world as it is. The parents and the community need to be be encouraging them to be the best they can be following the gender they were born as. It is clear suicide for children confused on their gender is much higher than children who are not confused. We want to set up the next generation of Americans for success where they excel in intelligence, compassion, ethics, and determination. This LGBTQ push is counterintuitive to those objectives.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Northam made a basic error in logic: he thinks he can \"mandate\", when he can in realty do nothing.  Keep in mind that Northam and his cronnies will all be gone LONG before they fully destroy the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Like most communist liberals, Northam seeks to impose his vision of the world upon the rest of us.  Any student of history knows how that worked out for the Nazi's in WWII.  Secondly, any student is in school to \"study and to learn\".  At no point prior to graduation are they fully able to consolidate all that they have learned and then apply action (based upon their summation of knowledge, maturity and experience) that would change their future so dramatically as a decision made outside the family unit to pursue transgenderism.   Obviously, there are instances where biology has provided pathways for alternate selection of gender, but are those pathways to be based upon loving family unity and the teachings of our Creator, or upon the antics of transient governor who promotes murder of newborns.  Clearly, this ultimately is a fight between Good and Evil.  Be powered by the Light, not seduced by the Dark.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, these laws DO NOT do that.  They are VERY discriminitory against parents and non-transgender students.  Trans students get all the rights and freedoms and their parents and straight peers get none.  Also, we all know that straight students who have a perverted agenda will take advantage of these laws and harm others.  There a wiser and safer ways that you can protect the trans students from being bullied and set apart while still protecting straight students.  These laws will allow things to happen that are dangerous as students misuse them. Also, this discriminates against the freedoms and personal convictions of a teacher.  I am a teacher in VA, and if I see something that I think could be potentially harmful, I am not able to say so because it will be seen as discrimination.  This makes teaching even more difficult for teachers.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Parents should take the FULL RESPONSIBILITY in making their children feel loved and accepted, it is not the public worker's responsibility, I beg to differ!!!! Ever heard of the adage \"Charity begins from the home\"? Yes it is important to show love ( I support that ANY DAY), but doesn't mean we have to condone certain behaviors that are not being addressed from a young age. Parents- wake up!!!!! It's our individual responsibilities! To be fair, I personally have a family member with the same situation, we are not going to blame others and force others to accept? No way! I can relate to questions like \"if this were your child, how would you feel?\", \"Would you like to be treated a certain type of way\"?...Yes, I can very much relate....however, let's not be afraid to face behaviors at home and be nonchalant about them, even when there's nothing you feel you can do, teach them self-worth! It is the same with anger issues, hatred for one another, strife, mischief, stealing, fighting and all social errors we see today. I'm sorry, but THE SCHOOL'S JOB IS FOR FORMAL EDUCATION...let's not encourage this!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My name is Dr. Jeff Moe and I am writing in support of the proposed inclusive policy related to transgender and gender non-binary students in Virginia. In my professional life I am a scholar on gender identity and sexual orientation identity issues in counseling and development, and I hope that you know the science deeply supports inclusive and affirming policies for transgender and gender non-binary students, adults, and families. School systems that are safer for transgender and gender non-binary children, adolescents, and youth are safer for all students regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. Recent studies indicate that the average life expectancy for transgender women of color is approximately 35 years old; this is a result of the life long marginalization, discrimination, oppression, and violence that this multiply marginalized community faces starting in childhood. Transgender and gender non-binary youth are more likely to be the victims of violence in their families, schools, and communities. They are also more likely o experience homelessness as a result of being rejected by their primary caregivers; the risk profile for transgender and gender non-binary youth to experience at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE) including bullying and violence in school is clear. Schools where the faculty, staff, and administration are affirming and inclusive towards transgender and gender non-binary youth not only experience overall reductions in bullying and truancy, but also experience enhanced academic success. There is no evidence that transgender inclusion has any negative impact on other students in a school; schools that can work through the potentially difficult conversation to create safe spaces for transgender and gender non-binary students are better academic institutions. The proposed policy is evidence-based, ethical, and in the spirit of our American values of diversity, inclusion, and affirmation of minority rights. Sincerely, Jeff Moe, Ph.D., L.P.C.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Does any of this truly sound safe to you all? Have you not daughters and sons you want to PROTECT? In theory, transgender and non-binary should be a small percentage of the population but in reality, let's think ahead to what can and will actually happen.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Remember how much less influence they have over each other because of virtual school and yet there was one clear novel that was most read. It was Wonder, the story of a boy with a facial abnormality that makes him stand out and be rejected by many. I think this story captures every youth's feeling of being different and fearing being an outcast. How much truer is this, how much of a reality is this for Gender Nonconforming students. We need to make our schools safe for Gender Nonconforming Students and for all students. These policies are a step forward.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Mental impairment needs addressing,  infringing privacy\nBody:\nIn the aspect of gender identity, one should be obviously able to identify in one single observation regarding the specific identity of an individual's gender. This observation is made by a medical professional upon observation while in utero. Facts are based upon the observatory results based upon visual factual evidence in aspect of all things. Emotionally, if one certain gender cannot gather the evidence obviously endowed at birth and prior to birth. Then next should be questioned is the mental state of the the individual's obvious delusion and denial thereof. Furthermore,  is the realm of sexual exploitation to minors, we would have to regard this issue as a contribution toward the decline of morality and decline of mental and emotional stability as result of the pursuit of ones sexually perverse nature to be considered a race or ethnicity. The parents should be fully capable of teaching their own children how to properly understand subject matter regaurding sex, nature, and reproduction. According to their belief without interference from outside sources. The school system is to teach basic skills regarding academic achievement not interfere in the personal affairs of the individual unless abuse is discovered. In closing the view in which I and many Virginia Americans can agree. Is that the delusional mental state by definition and even scientific evidence (not bias by ones own persuasion). Only factual information, this movement, at its best is oblivious  lead  by mentally impaired people in sight of the most basic evidence of natural and biological evidence. The next step is to admit the facts of ones own gender and natral purpose without any denial by a perverse delusion causing a decline in morality and delusional state of mind.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

You may try to fool nature but that is a fool's errand.  Young people who put so much stock in their gender are spending way too much time thinking about their genitals instead on concentrating on school work and adjusting to the world, instead of the other way around.  In real nature, boys...no matter how they dress...are more aggressive than girls and letting them into girls' bathrooms and locker rooms can and will lead to the disaster known as rape.  99.X % of  human beings know who and what they are so those that are confused or refuse to accept nature's decision must adjust to the real world, ruled by nature, rather than the other way around.  Don't force ridiculous rules on normal human beings. Let those that need help be helped.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They are ridiculous! The population of people who call themselves transgendered is minute. Mandating that ALL students and staff members change their ways of speaking when referring to a tiny population of the entire student body makes no sense whatsoever. Additionally, I absolutely cannot support the notion of allowing a child who is biologically female, into the high school locker room or bathroom with boys like my son. Again, this is ludicrous and potentially dangerous for the young woman who would attempt to do such a thing. As the mother of a high-school aged daughter, as well, I am especially concerned about her safety in a scenario such as this - which is one reason why we moved her out of the public school system and into Catholic school. Since time immemorial, people have been born either male or female. When I was pregnant with my three children - the options before me, when asking my doctor about the sex of my babies - were either MALE or FEMALE. No woman is ever pregnant or delivers a \"transgendered\" child. Such medical conditions can be documented and are extremely rare! This notion of *feeling* like a boy one day or a girl the next is simply not feasible. The science simply doesn't support it. Ask any scientist or doctor and he or she will tell you by looking at ANY person's DNA on this planet: they are unequivocally male OR female -  whether they \"feel like it today\" or not. There simply is no other option! Feelings need to be kept OUT of this argument. Asking the rest of the public school population to change the way they address this population (or whether they share a locker room with this child) for the sake of a relative few students makes no sense. This is why I respectfully ask you to please refrain from implementing these ridiculous policies and concentrate on more important initiatives, like getting our kids back to in-person school! Respectfully, Jennifer Callahan Fairfax County, VA\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Among them are that imposing sanctions for not using ,and requiring made-up pronouns,or those pronouns that don't reflect the biological gender of a student puts teachers, administrators, and staff in a difficult position in an already difficult job. Also, parents should be notified before and when a school allows transgender bathroom and locker room use. Parents are informed of many other behaviors /unsettling events at schools, why should this one be an exception? Where's the vaunted \"transparency\" ?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

In the attempt to elevate a small percent of children in school, we are jeopardizing all.

We already have enough problems with sexual assault, why would we literally put boys and girls out there as prey? It also opens the door to confusion for both teachers and students. Schools are not social engineering institutes; they are environments for learning. This evil is clothed as “good”when gender has never been determined by a person, but as a gift- male and female from our creator.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Whether or not my children identify as transgender, it is crucial that every person has safe and respectful treatment at school, mandated by VDOE, with clear education and guidance that may not come from the homes, faith groups or agencies that train teachers, staff and other students to lead or navigate a school setting full of people with diverse gender expressions. My faith nurtures all people as we are all made in the image of our loving creator, our whole lives-- any argument that people of faith don't support Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools is bunk. There are plenty more parents of faith like me. As our schools support our children as they grow into bright and capable adults, we must remember the plurality of our communities and that we have to ensure children in any minority who could be targets for cruelty or any treatment that derails education must receive extra protection and the staff and teachers around them must have the language and guidance to make sure all students receive high-quality education and growth experiences. Maybe next year we can take it a step further and offer similar protection to transgender staff and faculty...\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They deserve to have a safe environment free from harassment. The majority of these policies however, go far beyond offering students what should already be their basic and universal rights, and cross the line into infringing upon parental rights and responsibilities for their children. A parent has the right to know about such monumental and possibly life altering decisions that their children are making.  In a perfect world parents would already be talking to their children about such things, but even if they aren’t schools shouldn’t have the right to supersede that relationship with no notice to the parents. Additionally, if no “evidence” is to be provided, and no student is to be questioned, and students are able to decide or change gender identity at any moment, what’s to prevent any student at any time from deciding a change in gender and going into any bathroom/ locker room they choose? It may sound absurd, but as written these policies do not protect the majority of students in these situations. Additionally, requiring all kids to wear gender neutral clothing for a small percentage of the school population is simply over reaching. Any person that is uncomfortable in “gendered” clothing should be free to wear something gender neutral- but why make other students conform to that? Where would it end? No headbands/ barrettes, bows?  It may be splitting hairs but such a policy would cause more problems than it attempts to solve. Finally, what constitutes harassment, besides the obvious forms of bullying? And why would a parent not be informed if their student was accused of it? Basic respect should always be the standard, but what of the many religions that are opposed to changing genders? Is there any protection for those students in these situations or is respectfully voicing an opinion equal to harassment and bullying?  These issues are not clearly defined. I do not support these policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The proposals first and foremost compel speech, which in Barnette vs The West Virginia School Board, the Supreme Court compared such compelling with the Nazi and Bolshevik reeducation camps. If the VDOE is and to enact such policies, it does so in direct hatred of the free speech and the rule of law. All citizens should stand up refuse these policies in court if they are ever to be enacted. Therefore, if VDOE chooses to adopt these policies, then VDOE stands in history with the likes of the Bolsheviks and the Nazis. Furthermore, the policies aim at forcing sodomite propaganda (and action which is in itself sexual abuse of the child) down the children's throats and creates a space by which the school institution groom the children for both future standard sexual abuse and medical genital mutilation. The proposals effectively criminalize the parenting of children by any who hold to the ideas about the family that are common to all world religions. The proposals further deny students due process and representation when in alleged conflict to these insane and abusive, including removing the protection of the parent. If VDOE adopts these policies, then VDOE for all intents and purposes acts as a sex offender and will doom a generation of kids to damage the equivalent of which is rape. All parents should stand up against these policies for the sake of their children by any means necessary. There is no excuse for any parent to allow a children to be so afflicted by the deranged lunatics at the VDOE. The disgusting nature of these proposals would cause any sane person to react in anger and it is a wonder that VDOE bureaucrats can act the part of pedophiles without legal retribution from the people who the apparently aim to abuse.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is not \"scientific\" to pretend that genetically-coded sexuality does not exist and that gender is a purely artificial and arbitrary construct.  It is not \"enlightened\" or \"compassionate\" to exploit temporary feelings of gender confusion (which are common among adolescents) in order to subject teens and even pre-teens to manipulative \"counseling\" that pushes them toward gender dysphoria (and even to agreeing to irreversible genital and other physical mutilations, which many victims subsequently regret), while criminalizing attempts by any caring adults in their lives to help them be comfortable in their body.  Moreover, the document violates legally established parental rights, infringes on basic freedom of speech, subjects children of both genders to invasions of private spaces by members of the other, and requires biological females to compete in sports against biological males.  If they are adopted, they will be challenged in court and invalidated, but only after considerable tax money is wasted in trying to defend this ideologically motivated folly.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Please wake up out of this nonsense! Of course, there have been many creative expressions of gender that were normative for that particular society throughout history.  For example, in some royal courts of the past, men dressed more fancy than, or at least as much as, the women as a standard norm in that society.  But the men were still men and the women were still women. Nobody questioned that. It is true insanity to believe otherwise. Second, for any child that is struggling with identity in any way, the school should NOT be DISCOURAGING the student from dealing with those emotional, mental, and sometimes spiritual issues away from their family, but SHOULD ENCOURAGE the student to work this out with full parental involvement. For it is within the FAMILY STRUCTURE that children learn and grow into who they are, not the STATE STRUCTURE. The state should be in the business of encouraging and promoting strong FAMILIES, not intruding into and taking over for the family in a government school setting. Third, how dare you ignore those children and families who live by the basis laws of nature as male or female and thrust this nonsense on them in a way that causes confusion at the least and possibly a loss of innocence and bodily privacy by allowing anyone to use any bathroom or locker room. That is by basic definition, sexual assault!!! DO NOT DO THIS TO OUR SCHOOL KIDS! Please get back to focusing on reading, writing, and arithmetic and encourage STRONG FAMILIES to help their children grow up in other ways as best seen fit by THEIR PARENTS.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy DOES NOT do that. It instead encourages the possibility of school employees keeping VITAL information from parents regarding their child's gender and sexual identity--usurping parental authority and allowing a child to live two separate lives at school vs. at home. In what context would it ever be considered \"safe\" for a child to lie to their parents? This policy also leaves children vulnerable when using restrooms and locker rooms--subjecting them to use the bathroom and change in front of the opposite biological sex. Would you feel comfortable making a 13-year-old biological female completely undress in front of a 17 or 18-year-old biological male? This policy simply does not take into consideration the emotional or even physical safety of children when placing them in these potentially vulnerable situations. We know that sexual abuse is RAMPANT in schools and this policy is only further opening the door to this. These are only two of the many reasons why I oppose this policy. Listen to your concerned parents and citizens. I hope the DOE can step up and suggest thoughtful policy that ACTUALLY protects the well-being of all children instead of simply answering to the demands of a certain ideology or political policy.\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: 90197\nTitle: This Virginia Father and Teacher Opposes\nBody:\nAs a father and public school teacher, I am opposed to these model policies.  Before I detail the specifics of what I find most troubling, I’d like to say a word about where we agree.  It will not take long.  We agree that “all children have a right to learn, free from discrimination and harassment” (Model Policies, pg 8).  After that guiding principle, our methods diverge drastically. I disagree with the belief that “gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six” as cited in these Model Policies.  Although you cite studies that support this claim, these studies are as old as 2015 and as recent as 2020.  This evidence fails to demonstrate the longitudinal studies that are needed to document the long-term effects of choosing or affirming one’s gender at age five to six and how this decision affects one’s overall happiness and health throughout life if it differs from the gender at birth.  These policies are a hasty acceptance of an ideology that is in great need of more supporting evidence.  I am disturbed by their trust and willingness to embrace and promote ideas that could very well be harmful to children. Furthermore, I strongly disagree with the Policies’ intentions to support and affirm students in lieu of their parents’ support and perhaps in opposition to it.  The claim that “there are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student’s request to affirm their gender identity” as described on page 12 is troubling.  Where else is this philosophy supported in public education? As a teacher, I know that schools routinely notify parents about a student’s visits to the nurse and about their struggles and successes in classes.  How much more is it important to work with parents on an issue involving their child’s sexuality!  Moreover, the Policies’ intentions to “be prepared to support the safety and welfare of students when their families are not affirming” as described on page 13 is startling.  Schools should support parents as the primary educators, not strive to supplant them.  It is parents who partner with schools to educate their children, and this document suggests that it is the school system and the state that get the power to direct a child’s future over their parent’s wishes, as seen in the first paragraph on page 13.  This is a dangerous precedent, one that is not entitled to the school system or the state, and one that I oppose most strongly. Finally, I am disturbed to read that “school divisions should accept a student’s assertion of their gender identity without requiring any particular substantiating evidence, including diagnosing, treatment, or legal documents” and that they do not require a “minimum duration of expressed gender identity,” as stated on page 12. Again, where else is this philosophy promoted in public education?  Rightly so, students are required to obtain vaccines and undergo sports physicals to demonstrate their fitness and health, and to show medical evidence of this before coming to school or participating in sports.  Will the school also stop seeking evidence of these for similar concerns about privacy?  To best support the mental health of students, schools should seek to collaborate with doctors, parents, and other medical professionals as equal members of a team instead of assuming that they are the sole arbiter of any child’s gender identity. As stated above, I find these Model Policies very problematic and potentially harmful to the students they seek to support and to the community at large.  All students deserve a “safe and supportive school climate,” and all students also deserve a safe and supportive home climate.  These policies have the potential to drive a wedge between students, their parents, and their families in their own home.  The VDOE would do well to remember that it was this home that was a student’s first school, that it was the parents who were their first teachers, and that it is the parents who remain their primary educators.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I also know WHY there are teams for girls and boys in the first place:  Because there are real physical differences between males and females, which mean that, on average, if males and females compete against each other females simply will not win. Often, they will not even be in the running. We have seen how this works in Connecticut and Texas, as competitions meant for females end up being dominated by males. This doesn't mean that transgendered students shouldn't be treated with respect or allowed to participate in any athletic program.  Yet we must reserve female athletic competitions for those with female bodies.  If we do not, we risk having girls consistently losing to those who were born as boys (which is already happening throughout the country).  It will destroy the progress that girls have made in terms of athletic participation and in terms of continuing to play sports in college.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is vitally important that trans students feel safe and welcomed in our schools, and this guidance makes that possible. Additionally, the science is clear and unequivocal that the idea of there only being \"two sexes\" or \"two genders\" is completely wrong. Whether you look at chromosomes, physical characteristics, or gender expression, they are never bifurcated into just two possibilities - there is a wide spectrum of each of these. So there is absolutely no basis to claim that science refutes this guidance, when the opposite is true: this guidance is is grounded in sound science and it should absolutely be enacted state-wide.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Dr. Paul McHugh, Dr. Michelle Cretella, and the American Psychological Association's Handbook of Sexuality and Psychology should guide policy, not the socialists trying to grab power. The term \"liberal\" used to mean freedom from government control in our private lives.  The honorable Mr. Harvey Milk would be utterly ashamed and horrified at the modern Democrat party.  The Democrat party used to say that the government should get out of the bedrooms of homosexuals; now the Democrats in Virginia want to get inside the pants of children in schools.  It is disgusting. The B in LGBTQ nullifies about 3/4 of the \"Model Policy\" under review.  Simple logic. Clutching the banner of \"look at these victims we're trying to help,\" the Democrats charge forward with an illusory and delusional goal of standing up for the rights of transgender students. To transgender students:  The Democrats are lying to you.  They don't care about you.  They will use your victim-value and discard you like they have done with many others. If you are a transgender person or have children who are transgender, oppose the Democrat's pathway to new legislation.  This will bring nothing but new regulations, waste, and will divert schools away from what they should be:  A free, fair, open, and honest forum for the learning of facts. Not the disregard of science that is encapsulated in the proposed \"Model Policies.\" The current document under review purports not to apply to athletics; that is because they understand that if they started permitting those born as boys to compete with those born as girls, it will result in massive harm to the girls.  Bet the barn on it:  next year the Democrats will expand this policy to athletics. But this is the insidious methodology of the Democrats; it follows the classic Marxist destruction:  Demoralize, destabilize, create a crisis, and normalize. Rinse repeat. The Democrats say anyone who doesn't support their LGBTQ policies are evil (demoralize), they say you (anyone who will listen) should hate those anti-LGBTQ Nazis (destabilize), that LGBTQ children are being bullied and are at risk of suicide (fake crisis that ignores the data), and ultimately, propose policies such as what are before us today (normalize).  This is a cycle that has gone back decades and will not stop. When they use up the victim-value of a group through this cycle, they move on to another victim. Stop the cycle, stop misgendering children, don't let these policies be adopted in any form; reclaim our schools and permit school choice, vouchers, charter schools, and let the poor send their children to rich schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The proposal states that schools, not parents, are the ones who should help a student make decisions about “gender identity.” In fact, the proposal states (emphasis mine), “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 .” Further, the proposal seeks to punish parents who might question a child’s decisions to change their “gender identity,” by allowing public school staff to report parents for “abuse” if they are not supportive of their child’s decision to identify as a different gender than their sex at birth. The proposal also raises safety issues in that any student who simply self-identifies as another gender no matter their sex at birth and without any evidence that such identity has been asserted for any sort of duration, can use the same bathroom, changing facility, or overnight accusations, as those of a different biological sex. For young women and especially women who have survived physical abuse and sexual assault, sharing a bathroom with or having to remove clothing in front of an individual who was born and might even have gone through puberty as the opposite sex (which means they will likely still look like a member of the opposite sex in size and physical characteristics), can be very traumatic. Please consider the damage these policies will do not just to women and girls, but also to the parental bonds that are critical to a child’s healthy development.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The fact this can happen without parents being informed their daughters' privacy is being violated in such a way is an egregious affront to sanctity of the family and the trust between the school and the parents. These guidelines are based on concepts that are anti-science and anti-biology.

Glad created us as men and women ONLY and there is no justification for allowing our children to be brainwashed and attacked for being who they are. I will NOT ALLOW my children to be in a school system that thinks starting children as early as five to be fought false ideology about genders and being told that there are more than 2 genders and they can change their gender.  You are preying on our children and their hormonal normal development and sterilizing a generation that is meant to be strong and fight for what is right. I do not and will not accept this type of education into the minds of my children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In the first book in the Bible (Genesis ) it states..... So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him, male and female He created them (mankind).  And God blessed them....  There is a blessing with staying within God's divine created order.  There are boundaries; there is order and it is good.  Anything else outside this is called \"gender confusion\".  Confusion is exactly what the name states  .. it means:  a lack of understanding  ... a breakdown of order ... a disorderly jumble ... unclear in ones mind about something.   These things result in the inability to focus attention;  impairment of awareness and spatial dis-orientation.  This leads to the loss of ability to think with clarity. Please let the children.. be children, not adults.  Some may need a gentle, loving Counselor to address some emotional/spiritual problems in their lives.  Some may feel forsaken; unwanted and unloved and want attention.  Please do not exploit them ... you will have to answer directly to God  if you do.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It undermines the role of parents, and gives too much of their role to civil servants. It goes beyond the need for every child to be safe and accepted, and expects those with genuine faith-based disagreements to positively affirm something they cannot without violating conscience. Those with deep religious convictions should also feel safe and protected from harassment.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents, not the school administration, are ultimately responsible for their child’s well-being and this bill should reflect the essential role of parents to help their child make decisions and grow. I am very concerned about giving school administrators directives to hide information that pertains to their child from parents.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is critical to both the physical safety and the mental and emotional health of our children, that each gender should be taught to respect the privacy and the physical boundaries of the other gender.

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. 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. The [School Division’s 11 Designated Contact] shall be available to hear concerns from students or parents when complaints are not resolved at the school level”(page10). We emphatically agree with these protections for students’ safety and wellness. All children are wonderfully made for good works.  They are to be unconditionally loved and welcomed into schools and learning environments.  They must be afforded equal opportunities to prosper with a bright future of achievement and hope. There are sections that infringe on the sovereignty of families and religious freedoms and conflict with current Virginia code. In the section Student Privacy and Confidentiality, t he proposed policy states: “ All school personnel shall adhere to legal standards of confidentiality relating to information about a student’s transgender status, legal name, or gender assigned at birth. 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” (page 12). This sentence must be revised to remove the words “and parents” in order for school personnel to partner with parents and families for student success. Parents must still have authority over their student and be informed of any gender expression different than sex assignment. School personnel must inform the parent or guardian if the student has expressed a different gender expression than the sex assignment for three reasons: 1. Healthy school culture is built upon parent/family and school partnerships  2. Current Virginia Code calls for parent notification for health concerns § 22.1-272.1. Responsibility to contact parent of student at imminent risk; and 3. parents have access to educational records per 20 U.S.C. § 1232g FERPA and Virginia code § 22.1-287.1. Parent and community relationships are a hallmark in high performing schools with a healthy culture. The National Parent Teacher Association states, “ Parents know that they play an important role in their child’s success. But traditional family engagement practices don’t always meet the needs of each and every family, nor treat them as equal partners in ensuring their child’s success. Family-School partnerships often focus primarily on academic success, but whole child development i s also an essential part of the conversation. Parents must be informed albeit delicately and with a trusted counselor present if a child has asked to be referred to as a different gender than registered. According to the research completed by the Institute of Education Services on family and school partnerships, “ Parent and community engagement depends on strong, trusting relationships…part of developing such relationships is building a bridge between home and school cultures”(Gorinski & Fraser, 2006). In addition, The Toolkit for Engaging Families and Communities as Partners in Education goes on to state that trust is defined as “an individual’s or group’s willingness to be vulnerable to another party based on the confidence that the latter party is benevolent, reliable, competent, honest, and open” (Hoy & Tschannen-Moran, 2003, p. 189). If families are to trust teachers and other educators, they must believe that school personnel are qualified, fair, and dependable, and have their child’s best interest at heart (Bryk & Schneider, 2002). To do anything else is divisive and subverts that parent’s authority in the child’s life. Interactions between the school staff and the families are based on trust and mutual care for the student. Knowing that LGBTQ students often have increased thoughts of suicide and depression, it would make sense that Virginia follow it’s current policy of reporting to parents if a student is at imminent risk for suicide per § 22.1-272.1. Parents have a legal right to inspect all educational records per FERPA 1974. If a student makes a request to affirm their gender identity this must be shared with the parent. Additionally, the concept that the name/pronoun a student asserts at school would not be disclosed to a family is counterintuitive to the most basic provision of FERPA “ Schools may disclose, without consent, \"directory\" information such as a student's name,”  FERPA calls for schools to disclose this directory information to parents,  “However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information.” The section Student Identification the proposed policy states: “Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence.” This should be revised to state:  School staff shall, at the request of a student with the consent of the parent in writing, address the student using the asserted name and pronoun that correspond to their gender identity. As a name is a basic requirement for enrollment in all school districts in the state per every district website that is supplied with substantiating ev...

When girls who follow their biological gender are required to share their safe spaces (school bathrooms, changing rooms) with those who identify as female but are biologically male, their rights are disregarded and their personal safety is compromised. It also clearly discriminates against female student athletes who follow their biological gender and will now be competing against student athletes who identify as female gender but are biological males. This completely disregards the distinct physical differences between a biological male and a biological female in regards to physical capacity, strength, etc. Simply compare any elite biological male and biological female who compete in similar events (ie: 100 meter freestyle, 400 meter races).\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have been trained in biology and genetics.  There is no science that supports the transgender movement as opposed to a classical understanding of male (XY) and female (XX).  One’s “maleness” or “femaleness” is fixed by genetics.  You can argue against this and/or pretend it is not true, but any deviation from this fact is only based on one’s psychological state, which can change over time.  One merely needs to look at the data on how many younger people change their minds over time and ultimately abandon their transgender feelings.  The other major flaw in the transgender movement is that the scientific data on outcomes is horrible with so many patients worse off and committing suicide after all of the procedures that are done.  So to enshrine in legislation facts about transgenderism (that it is a good that needs to supported and encouraged) is so far off base as to be abusive, especially to minors. It is one thing to offer true informed consent to those over 18 but to restrict parental input in decision-making for minors is tantamount to the promotion of child abuse by the state.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My grandson was assaulted by an older teenage boy who's been influenced that it is \"cool\" to be transgender and was \"experimenting.\"   This is absolutely wrong and will encourage more assault.   I absolutely abhor this policy. As well as having transgender boys, who are almost men, in high school girls locker rooms is a disaster waiting to happen.

This bill can have an adverse impact on many lives of children that do not have an identity problem but will very possibly have one that is created by this law.  The legislatures that are in favor of this bill should be ashamed of themselves and should be exposed and voted out of office when their seat is up for re-election.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Granting the authority for a child's well being to someone other than the parent or legal guardian is a serious violation of parental ' rights and an unsafe practice. My opposition applies not only to transgenderism but to any issue regarding a child's sexuality, health, or morality.  Teachers and school administrators should focus on educating children in the basis, and leave sexuality, health, or morality to parents. Personally, I will remove my children from the public schools if this is enacted. Very truly yours, KWC\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The presentation via materials, leadership oversight, faculty, must be based on the moral standards on which the founders of America, and the first established educational institutions of higher education, and the charters and constitutions of the states is enshrined. Immorality is not enshrined in those doctrines. Anti-Christian doctrines of rainbow stripes have always existed, although at the whim of recent anti-American mobs, these perversions have been thrust forward as useful. These perversions are not useful, and our children must actually now be protected from the damage and intrusion of cruel and abusive actors in this arena now legally labeled \"child abuse and corruption.\" Therefore, as a strong moral society, we demand the removal of homosexual, lesbian, pedophile materials from our schools- and those who push for them- or legal action to do so will be forthcoming.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Answer: 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 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. (See statements about most kids outgrowing gender confusion in this Psychology Today article , as well as in this study and this one .) Question: But how exactly would this policy promote gender confusion in schools? Answer: It encourages schools to implement across-the-board promotion of the concept that gender is “viewed as a gender spectrum” and can be “something in between or outside the male/female binary.” It declares that sex is arbitrarily “assigned” to babies at birth, rather than an innate part of God’s design and gift to human beings. If you think about a little girl or boy who still thinks the opposite sex has cooties, that is a very confusing, potentially damaging message for young kids to process. Not to mention that the scientifically false statement that people are just arbitrarily “assigned” a gender when they’re born—sort of like affixing a branding label to them at the store—totally divorces gender instruction from any reality whatsoever in basic DNA science and biology. It’s also important to note that the draft policy makes clear the Virginia Department of Education wants this radical thinking reflected in every operational part of the school—even advocating for schools to incorporate “educational content that is transgender affirming into the general education curriculum, such as history, literature and science.” Question : I keep hearing people say this policy threatens parental rights—but isn’t it just trying to protect students from abusive parents? Answer: Let’s be clear: We all agree that parents should unconditionally love, nurture and protect their children regardless of the circumstances—and abuse is always wrong for any reason. The disturbing reality, though, is that 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? Plus, the policy encourages schools to outright deceive parents:  It says schools should “respect” students if they don’t want their parents to know about their new transgender identity. The suggested plan for implementing this “respect”— and the policy specifically spells this out—is that, in cases where parents are not embracing or facilitating their child adopting a new gender identity (like using a new name, pronoun, etc.), then teachers can use the child’s new identity at school, but in the presence of the parent use the original legal name and so forth. Encouraging kids to lead a double life and hiding vital information from parents that could make a life-saving difference in kids’ lives is clearly not wise or safe. (There are already disturbing controversies like this happening in Wisconsin and Utah .)\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They advocate thought control - forcing speech that goes against nature and science and reality: our gender is written in our chromosomes! I am outraged at the totalitarian re-education regime that is bullying innocent children into forced speech.  Black is white, up is down, and male is female.  This is insanity.  The emperor has no clothes, people. Wake up! Children who make a \"mistake\" and use the wrong pronoun will be disciplined for using pronouns as they have been used throughout the millenia of human history - pronouns that match each person's biology, down to the chromosomal level.  It is basic science.  Parents will not know when and how their children are disciplined. This legislation is an attempt to bully, coerce and rob loving parents of their rights to raise and educate their beloved children in the way they see fit for their earthly happiness and mental wellbeing, and more importantly for their immortal souls.  One has only to search for 'gender dysphoria' or 'detransitioning' to find numerous examples of formerly transgender adults, who regret their use of hormones and body-mutilating surgeries, that now do not allow them to be able to have children of their own. To deceive children in this way is mental child abuse. Almost as bad is that religious concerns are completely ignored.  As Americans - and we are Americans, right? - this nation was founded to escape religious persecution.  Here it is in a new form, again.  This legislation upends all precedent against religious persecution, ignoring and not even considering the deeply held religious beliefs of individuals who due to poverty or other circumstances are forced to attend public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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.

While there are plenty of reasons I oppose these guidance policies, here are TEN 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 “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.” “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.” “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.” 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...” 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.” 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.” 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 ...” “Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence.” 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.” 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.” “School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.” 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.” 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.” 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 should not come between parents and their children by assuming they know what's best for the students and deceiving the parents in communications with them.  With all the national discussion about following the science re. Covid and climate change, it is being completely ignored in this discussion.  To say that gender is a social construct and is assigned at birth instead of being biologically determined is completely anti-science. I urge you to not adopt these proposed measures.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This is a monstrous ov erreach that will have vast implications. Laws, policies, and guidelines must be in response to truth. This nation is experiencing a looming social contagion like no other in history with entire friend groups suddenly claiming they are transgender. This is causing serious medical harm to this population. How many of you are over the age of 30? I suspect none of you went to school and had to worry about what to call someone or who you might need to undress in front of for gym class. Why? Because transgenderism was not shoved down the throats of Americans like the best thing since sliced bread. You should be glad your bodies are intact. How many of these poor children have been lied to by their medical communities and told they are terribly broken and must conform to this bizarre new ideology with no basis in reality? The suicide card is played over and over by activists and doctors hoping to line their pockets but in fact there is a 19x greater risk of suicide as evidence shown by the only long-term follow up of transgender patients. ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3043071/ ) How many of you are willing to address the suicides that are likely to be the ultimate outcome for these students? These children are paying with their lives and you are aiding and abetting their demise. Shame on you all! All comments claiming the suicide lie must be scrubbed. YOU need to understand what is happening and not listen to a bunch of lies. Will you be around to bury our children that die from a shortened lifespan (also evidenced in the above study) from the experimental drugs? Are you going to be around in 2,5,10 years form now when these children wake up and realize they were really a biological girl or boy all along? Will you be there to take care of the severe complications from these non-FDA approved drugs and experimental procedures? Detransitioners are fast becoming a significant population in the US and they need and deserve our respect. They are exposing how they were shuffled through a broken medical system for a delusion. Stop deluding our children! For all you men reading this, are you not glad you have a penis? For all you women, are not not thankful for your female organs and breasts, organs that perhaps nurtured a child or will some day? Do you realize transgender medicine sterilizes? You belong in the business of educating and not encouraging castration and sterilization of children. Please screw your heads on straight and get off the gender train. We parents want OUR children healthy and whole. Please familiarize yourselves with the Keira Bell case in the UK. The truth has been exposed now in the UK and it will eventually prevail here in the US as well. I am a father who has lost his oldest daughter to this lie while in college. It is a cult and she has been coerced down a dangerous path. I wish my family hell on no one. My younger children no longer attend public school in this country.\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”.

A dangerous mix in those surroundings. Target stores that have had this policy for several years now have had many dozens of complaints of people born male molesting girls, exposing their genitals to girls, taking photos of girls from the next bathroom stall, and even following girls in the store and photographing up their skirts. This policy brings out the worst in mankind. (I have a long list of these cases as evidence.) Even in homes, families don't approve of male and female family members using the bathroom to shower, change, use the toilet, etc. at the same time. How much more dangerous and inappropriate is it with strangers. This policy puts the proverbial fox in the chicken coop. How many thousands of incidents will we have when we enact this in our schools where boys in the middle through high school years are beginning to hit the peak of their sexual arousal. Think back men, we were all once that age and what was on our minds.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Not having a good policy in place will cause a child more damage psychologically. If the adults around them are saying that their gender identity/expression is wrong or unacceptable, then it create feelings of shame, doubt in one's self, and a hatred for something they honestly have no control over. This then leads to self-medicating with either drugs, self-harm, or other dangerous methods to cope with these negative feelings. Having policy in place to help educators and support staff in knowing how to work with transgender and gender non-conforming students is the right step in creating an environment where they can express themselves freely.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is a sad day. Few people would have issues with a transgender person. But to elevate what a minority of advocates pushes for, this particular version of trans-gender rights, to a level of policy that threatens and undermines girls (especially) is sad and it obliterates decades of progress about women's rights. Ultimately, the designers reject the scientific fact that sex exists, that it is assigned at birth, and that human claims have limits. It is not up to us to just say something and wish it into reality. Humans can claim they are sheep, rocks, aliens, etc. That is no basis for policy. Additionally, this is extra Orwellian because it trumps parental and family rights. Society, or this is what this group of advocates thinks as society, has priority over parents. Parents and family matters, They are what keep our values alive. If we gut their rights, we are erasing all defenses against an amorphous society in which government and government-like entities  or private entities will exercise the power and obligations of families, Is this the world we're building for our kids?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Too many times we have argued that parents need to be more involved in their child’s education when it comes to completing homework, or making the grade, but now we don’t want them involved with a much more important issue as gender identity? What are we saying is more important? Is it more important for parents to ensure their child does homework, or knows what gender they are identifying as? Parents are children’s first teachers, or should be. Children have parents or guardians who are responsible for their well being. They should be the first people to know if there’s any issue/problem at school. We’re slowly taking away parent’s rights and responsibilities. As long as children are their dependents, they should be informed of any and all discussions that take place at school involving their children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As I watch them grow and seek to nurture them to their full potential, I look into the future and have high hopes for each one of them. There is one barrier to my hope, however and that is the laws you are seeking to pass that I know and believe will only cause children insurmountable grief, confusion and anxiety. It is clear from the beginning of time that each of us are created either Male or Female. There is no in between. I do not understand how/why you would seek to confuse our children and young people to think or believe otherwise.

Parental rights. My rights as a parent DO NOT end when my children cross the school property line. Legal adult age is 18. Not elementary age or middle school age or even high school age unless a child turns 18 during his or her high school years. They cannot even legally sign a contract until they turn 18 and yet you're proposing allowing them to make MONUMENTAL LIFE CHANGING DECISIONS without parental knowledge, notification, or, most importantly consent. 2. Proven biological science. You cannot shout \"WE BELIEVE IN SCIENCE\" and then blatantly go against the very science you claim to believe and support. Biological science is proven -  chromosomes and DNA. Educational institutions denying scientific fact is mind-boggling. Feelings are not scientific evidence and have never been. That is until it somehow became politically motivated and expedient. Are you also proposing to stop any sort of classes where DNA, chromosomes, biological science, and reproduction are taught? Or are you going to add caveats and trigger warnings due to \"feelings\"? 3. Forced pronoun usage - Unconstitutional. Period. Read the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. As a governmental entity, you cannot force speech codes. Schools are not a country unto themselves. People do not lose their Constitutional rights when they enter school grounds. Also refer back to #'s 1 and 2. 4. Girls sports - By proposing to allow biological males to participate on sports teams of biological girls, you are effectively killing sports for biological girls and robbing those biological girls of possible sports scholarships. Biological women FOUGHT for Title IX to have and protect those teams and to have sports scholarships for biological girls and you are throwing it all away. It is scientifically, biologically proven that biological males have greater muscle mass, bone structure, and lung capacity than biological girls. This makes biological males stronger and faster and have greater endurance and stamina than biological girls. It does not matter if they take hormones. Those hormones DO NOT change their muscle mass or bone structure or lung capacity nor does it EVER change those things or their DNA. You are allowing biological males - with or without hormones - to completely take over and dismantle the world of sports for biological females. (I CANNOT BELIEVE I JUST HAD TO TYPE THAT IN THAT SPECIFIC WAY TO MAKE THAT BIOLOGICAL DISTINCTION!!) Refer back to #2. 5. Bathrooms and locker rooms - Biological females of all ages have a right to privacy. Period! Your proposal calls for no safeguards for biological females. None. Teachers and school administrators can't even question a biological male if he walks in one day and says he's now a girl and must be allowed to enter the biological girl's bathrooms and locker rooms. There are zero requirements that he has to meet. He doesn't have to have ever demonstrated that decision prior to that day, nor does he have to dress that way, nor does he have to produce any documentation that he's serious and is undergoing hormone therapy, nor does he ever have to demonstrate that choice after that day, nor is anyone allowed to contact parents to confirm what he says. This is a recipe for disaster! Biological girls are generally taught to be private with their bodies and to protect their bodies. \"My body my choice\" right?! And, yet, here you are telling biological girls that won't be the case anymore because, now, biological males will be allowed into their personal spaces - WHILE THEY UNDRESS - and they have no say in the matter. No accommodations made for the thousands upon thousands of biological girls in VA who have to dress out for PE with a biological male in the locker room with them unless they wait for him to leave and then risk being late for class and getting into trouble. No, the wishes of the biological male who has announced that he's now to be treated as a female comes first at the expense of the biological girls. What are you going to do if a biological girl is raped in the bathroom? Are you going to even address it? Are you going to notify parents? What are you going to do if the sexual assaults and teen pregnancy rate skyrockets in VA? Are you going to reevaluate this horrendous decision? Admit your mistake? Somehow, I doubt it. You are willfully blind if you don't think that hormonal driven biological male teenagers won't find a way to take advantage of all of this. You are literally making schools unsafe for the biological female half - 50% - of the population that attend public schools in VA. You are killing sports for biological females. You are trying to strip parental rights and Constitutional rights. The worst part is that you don't care and refuse to acknowledge actual biological science or even common sense, all to be politically correct for less than .03% - point zero three percent - three hundredths of a percent - .0003 as a decimal - of the population.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I believe these policies will only ENABLE , (not help) those children with “gender confusion” and possible emotional disorders and/or mental illness. Science verifies there are two sexes; male and female. What if a child believes they identify with a bird and tries to jump off of unsafe, high elevations? We would not encourage or embrace that thinking, we would seek to help the child. This is no different. It is a danger to encourage this thinking in a child. We are advocates for our children and need to protect them, even from themselves, if necessary. The schools should given the resources snd training to help these children, individually,  through this confusing time and not promote it by forcing their peers and school administration to enable this thinking and comply to these policies. Thank you for pausing to really consider these words and the words of so many others. Think about what really matters and is BEST for these children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I urge the Virginian government to reject the proposal.  Any proposal based on the erroneous definition of gender as a set of \"social, psychological, and emotional traits\" as opposed to a biological fact is bound to be harmful for children of all sexual persuasions.  There are already ample laws on the books to prevent bullying of transgender children, from the Virginia Anti-Bullying Law and Virginia Values to the federal Civil Rights Act and Title IX.   The vast majority of Virginia public school kids will not be sexually active till the later years of high-school.  The \"Model Policies\" would force confusing discussions on children too young for sexual preference to be a material fact in their lives.  Childhood is difficult enough, especially with the Virginian government's failure to open schools during 2020 in a timely manner, without pushing a radical agenda on them, dressed up in the guise of promoting their welfare.  In addition, the \"Model Policies\" inappropriately erode parents' rights to be informed on major decisions taken about their children at school, and involved in those decisions, relative to their tax-payer funded public education of their children.  For these and other reasons, I oppose the \"Model Policies\", which are neither \"model\" nor necessary, given the many existing protections to transgender children already existing.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I had to be sure I could do and explain all example problems, be sure I had any copying done for handouts and have a plan for the flow of the lesson, giving students time to ask questions.  What a hardship for a teacher to have to remember preferred pronouns too, as they may be subject to change. There are many ways to create a classroom environment that makes students feel cared for without pronouns. Second point:  If a student's gender identity is completely subjective and can constantly change what will prevent a male from self identify as a female just to go into a locker room to see girls in various stage of undress?  Nothing that I can see.  Where are the girls right to privacy? It seems that her rights have been coopted by another agenda that the public in general DOES NOT SUPPORT.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This includes those who are LGBTQ+. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I can say with confidence that bullying, harassment, and institutional and individual discrimination are extremely damaging to children - to their learning, their mental health, their physical wellbeing, their safety, and their lives. Transgender children deserve to be respected for their own identities, just as cis-gender children are. This policy is way overdue. In response to community members who have claimed that LGBTQ-supportive policy will \"damage\" their own children, I encourage them to really consider what that damage would be. Having views that differ from those of their parents is not damage. Treating their peers with kindness and understanding is not damage. Accepting others whose identities and ideologies differ from their own is not damage. But discriminating against LGBTQ+ individuals is unquestionably damaging. I support this policy with full conviction and enthusiasm.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

We care deeply for all children in Virginia, and strongly support the draft guidelines’ guiding principle of providing a safe, supportive environment that promotes the success of all students. At the same time, the DOE model policies are deeply flawed, seeking to impose a single ideology of sex and gender identity that is inconsistent with biology and peer-reviewed evidence, and ignores other valid perspectives on this topic. We urge DOE to make significant revisions to its draft guidelines as described below. DOE should revise the draft guidelines to recognize that many parents and students have different, valid viewpoints on support for students who identify as transgender. The issue of transgenderism in young adults is one for which perspectives and evidence are evolving, particularly regarding early childhood development. The draft guidelines on p. 20 note “Students and staff each have their own unique religious and personal experiences, views, and opinions,” but they fail to protect those with differing views and opinions. Students, parents and school staff may hold different perspectives on this topic based on a number of factors such as available evidence, personal experience, and freedom of conscience. Individuals may express opinions that differ from those in the guidelines, but do not constitute bullying or harassment. For example, Virginia schools are increasingly likely to include students, teachers or parents who first identified as transgender at a younger age and who later experienced regret or detransitioned. In speaking to others at school, these individuals may wish to counsel caution and discuss potential negative health outcomes that can result from the gender transition process or interventions. Further, some Virginia students and parents hold the view that gender is not as malleable as assumed by the guidelines, and that attempts to override the biology of sex with the psychology of gender may do more harm than good for many young people. The guidelines fail to recognize and support these differing perspectives, instead enforcing a single viewpoint that conflicts with a significant body of medical and scientific literature. [i] [ii] Recommendation: We urge DoE to revise the guidelines to state affirmatively that: a)  many students, parents and school staff in Virginia hold viewpoints on how best to care for students who identify as transgender that differ from those in the guidelines, but are equally valid and grounded both in science and compassion for all students; and b) students and parents will not be penalized for expressing viewpoints that do not constitute bullying or harassment, but are different from those in the guidelines. The guidelines present an incomplete picture of available research, ignoring substantial evidence of potential negative effects of gender transitioning in young adults. The draft guidelines do not provide a comprehensive, balanced review of evidence, much of which would argue for proceeding with caution on gender transition in prepubescent children.  State law requires DOE to develop “evidence-based best practices” on this topic. The guidelines must be revised to include, at a minimum, the available research on: the increased risk of sexual offenses when mixed-sex changing rooms are employed [iii] [iv] the 11 or more published studies showing that the majority of children who identify as transgender before puberty eventually accept their biological sex after puberty. [v] the risk of harms of “gender affirming therapy” in children who identify as transgender, including from pharmacologic and surgical interventions. [vi] [vii] [viii] According to one recent report, long-term studies show that after transitioning to a different gender, individuals’ “quality of life deteriorates significantly and suicide rates rise,” and “the best quality studies show that transitioning leads to negative outcomes.” [ix] Recommendation: Given the substantial amount of evidence that DOE has failed to identify, the agency should, prior to finalizing the guidelines, hire an independent research consultant to conduct a more rigorous, systematic review of evidence. Further, the guidelines should make clear when they are referencing literature that is non-peer reviewed vs. peer reviewed, and include the strengths and limitations of referenced literature (e.g., degree of applicability to K-12 student age groups).   In addition, DOE should ensure the guidelines include an accurate presentation of available evidence as described above. The guidelines fail to protect students in school facilities who desire not to share facilities with individuals of the opposite biological sex. The guidelines acknowledge the need to protect all students but fail to address a range of significant issues that likely will emerge. Evidence indicates that use of mixed-sex changing rooms or locker rooms creates an increased risk of sexual harassment. [x] Many students who do not identify as transgender may desire accommodations to protect themselves from these risks and maintain their personal sense of security at school. The guidelines must include clear, specific practices to protect students in ways that minimize the risk of stigmatization. Recommendation: The guidelines should provide additional detail to ensure schools have clear policies on how non-transgender students who desire separate accommodations will know during the school year when such accommodations need to be requested. This should including best practices addressing the questions of: a) how schools can work to maximize the “full inclusion” of these students when policy will by definition subject them to some degree of exclus...

I believe in Jesus and he made us the way we are. And I will not allow my child to question which sex they are. They are innocent children. This should be the last thing they should be worrying about. I understand everyone has different views, but why should people with different views have to suffer. And also. I have rights to my children so I don’t agree with being able to kick parents rights out of the school.

To community members who claim that this policy will allow for students to change their gender identity at will so that they can go into the girls bathroom/locker room and watch them undress or rape them - you are the same people who post about parental rights and your responsibility to teach your children. You can (and should) teach them that falsely changing their pronouns, taking advantage of a policy meant to help others, spying on women and raping women are WRONG. Why is it the responsibility of transgender individuals to remove this supposed \"temptation\" instead of the responsibility of these children who are actually committing inappropriate acts? This is a form of victim blaming. And to those who worry that teachers have enough on their plate without having to remember their students' pronouns: is it really that difficult? If a student's last name changes because their parent remarries, teachers can handle that change. If a student's favorite color changes, teachers can learn the new one. If their handwriting evolves or they begin an after-school activity that alters their schedule or they develop a passion for a new subject - their teachers can and do respond to these changes. Modifying pronoun use to respect a person's identity is a miniscule responsibility. Sure, it can be difficult to remember at first - any change is. But with repetition and care, I have full confidence that teachers can learn this change. LGBTQ+ individuals should not be punished so that those around them can avoid temporary (and self-proclaimed) \"inconvenience\" or \"discomfort\".\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These are NOT YOUR CHILDREN\nBody:\nGood morning, I am the mother of three Hanover County Public School students.  As a parent, I am outraged at the blatant disregard of parental input and exclusion of parental rights under this extremely controversial policy.  The changes proposed by this policy go against biological science and societal norms for all of history. I am raising my children under Christian values and a faith belief system that have been good and true since the beginning of time.  Now this policy is telling parents like me that if I encourage my children to embrace their God-given sex, I would be at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect by the school?  I am their mother!  I have provided for and mentored and disciplined and raised them, along with my husband, their father, every day of their lives.  How dare you remove us from such a conversation and aim to deceive? “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) Yes, some young people have gender questions and go through uncertainties, but to rewrite common sense for the benefit of a very small few will undoubtedly bring forth untold emotional stress, grief, depression, and likely, abuse.  And at the hands of school administrators who have lost their way on RIGHT from WRONG! How can you really believe this is for the GOOD of young people?  You want to promote a student's choice to flip-flop from boy to girl to in-between as often as they feel like it?  They are young, easily influenced, lack life experience, their brains are not yet fully-developed, and we are going to serve these whims over our adult good sense?  What twilight zone are we living in?  This is NOT REALITY.  So much damage will be done. The language on page 18 pertains to restrooms 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.” (Draft Policy, p.18) “School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.” (Recommended Standard, p.18) I cannot fathom what it will feel like for biological boys and girls to be in their normal private space but then subjected to the opposite sex coming in because they feel like it at the moment.  If this policy passes, 99% ( Gender dysphoria in adolescence: current perspectives (nih.gov) of our children/teens will have no defense, no recourse to this treatment by Administrators, and their parents will have no idea it is going on.  JUST UNBELIEVABLE! I represent THOUSANDS of like-minded parents in Hanover County and around the state that utterly REJECT this policy.  I urge you not to pass it. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It also sidesteps the science behind the diagnosis and may actually hinder a child who struggles with this and how the family is embracing it. This issue is not the be placed into the hands of the public school system. This is not about ideology, it is about a family and their privacy on a sensitive issue that should have freedom to be handled by the parents and their doctors. Don't go down this bad policy road Virginia, you'll be hit with lawsuits because your ideology is not balanced with common sense.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Then, more and more, those same people go ahead and make public policy based on whatever they want to impose on the rest of us.  The most obvious example of this is denial by those who promoted and now defend legal abortion of the undeniable scientific fact that immediately upon conception a baby's DNA is a combination of its mother's and father's DNAs, and thus the baby is a new and unique human being, a person. In the same manner, the proposed Guidance Document ignores the science that whether a child is male or female is manifested not just in the child's external sexual characteristics, as has been obvious since the species began, but, as science has now determined, in the different composition of every cell of a person's body, depending on whether that person is male or female.  So a person with a male body who thinks that he is a female, or with a female body who thinks that she is a male, has thinking that is not in conformance with scientific reality. Where scientific reality and thinking differ, to go with the thinking instead of the reality is to enter into a fantasy world.  The Guidance Document aims to lay down rules that would require all of us to participate in their fantasy, even though, for nearly all of us, our thinking conforms with the science, with reality.  They want to make their fantasy our new 'reality', an impossible task, because it is not science, and an effort that is doomed to end badly, most especially for those poor souls who have the reality/thinking problem in the first place. To those who developed or are pushing for approval of the Guidance Document, I can ask no better question than to quote from a movie comedy, The Dream Team, \"Why don't you accept reality as it is, rather than make it up as you go along?\" Enough!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Does allowing members of the opposite sex to share locker rooms/bathrooms honestly sound like a good idea?  How will the school system handle it when this is abused?  How will the school system handle this if there's a sexual assault because teenagers of the opposite sex are sharing the same changing room?  3.9% of Virginia's adult population identifies as LGBT https://www.lgbtmap.org/equality-maps/profile_state/VA .  One has to assume that not all of that 3.9% would identify as transgender.  I couldn't find an actual number of Virginians that identify as transgender, but nationwide that number is .42% of the population according to the Williams Institute.  It makes absolutely no sense to pass bills that affect everyone based on .42% of the United States population.  If the concern is over these students being bullied, address that by cracking down on bullying.  Bullying in general is a much much bigger issue than transgender students being able to explore themselves with the help of the school system.  If you are so concerned with the extremely small percentage of school age students that identify as transgender, build them their own bathrooms and locker rooms.  Don't punish the rest of the students, the faculty, and parents because of .42% of the population, how is that equitable?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is so important for transgender students, but I was also struck by how so many of these policies create a more accepting, expressive, positive experience for cisgender students, as well. For example, when dress codes outline gender neutral basic standards of professional/appropriate attire, girls aren't made to feel overly sexualized. All in all, I am excited for Virginia to be pursuing inclusive, thoughtful policies like this.

It is paramount that we find ways to be more inclusive towards those who have historically been excluded. I personally have many friends who are trans and/or non-binary, and, growing up as a student in a Virginia public school, I saw how there was an utter lack of help for students questioning their gender identity - especially those who did not have an accepting family at home. Schools can provide an important foundation of support for these students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

She was 12 at the time.  The first day she attended, they asked her what gender she identified with?  She had no idea what they were even talking about......this is to say that kids become confused about things when you make this such a big deal to them.  Putting it in the classroom every days is just asking for kids who are not old enough to know what's what to make a life-altering decision.  VDOE needs to leave this up to the parents.  Hey, how about this....let's start saying the pledge of allegiance and have a morning prayer like I did when I was in school!  We did not have the issues we are seeing today.  Not one kid in all of my years up to college committed suicide!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Gender dysphoria is a recognized mental health disorder and minor students should be given all the help they need from the school in conjunction with their parents. My goodness, when a student has any type of special needs or accommodations, if an IEP is proposed the family must consent to services. And, that includes mental health counseling. And, who is training the trainor, here in terms of measurable goals and objectives in regard to gender dysphoria and a student's gender identity?

These simple policies seek to allow children to exist in public schools and be safe regardless of gender identity, a goal that we should all share.

While I want all students to feel accepted, safe, and loved at school these policies have too many holes in them. Parents not being included is a huge risk to the school and staff. There aren’t enough guidelines for who this would apply to and how and how the rest of the student population is protected from a student taking advantage of this. Teachers aren't protected either. As a current teacher I would feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable implementing any of this for fear of something going wrong. Also as a teacher of young students, I know that young children aren’t developed enough to be in situations where they are making decisions about these things. It is one thing to discuss it at home or in a classroom. It is a whole different thing entirely for it to be practiced at a school and then not have to inform parents. It is a major safety risk!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Every culture from the beginning of time had a moral code--The Norse, Babylon, Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and more.  All believe that we are to care for the poor and not hurt others and treat others as we would want to be treated.  We want to be loving to those who are gender confused.  Loving them is giving them boundaries.  We do not love our children when we let them do whatever they want.  We all know that limits actually give freedom. In a classroom, we don't allow a child to change his name each day.  That would be chaos for a teacher in her record keeping on their papers, much less the classmates being able to address, and remember, their new name. The absurdity of this policy is great.  It must not be put into effect.  Wonderful, caring, confident teachers will leave the public schools, so will any families who can afford to.  The public sector will be left with all poor, needy, and very confused people.  How could we consider letting this happen? Let's encourage parents to help their children find their identity as parents have been doing all throughout history.  Let's remember to pray for teachers, families, and schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Under these current proposed policies, victims are going to be further victimized.  Under these policies, a boy could decide that he wants to be a girl (when he truly isn't suffering from these feelings) just to have access to the girls locker room.  Regarding overnight field trips, how can you allow boys and girls to share the same room? The amount of students who truly suffer from gender dysphoria are a very very small percentage.  Why not just treat each individual situation with respect?  After confirming with a physician that the student truly does suffer from gender dysphoria,  allow the student to wear the clothes they want, be called what they want and use a gender neutral bathroom. Encouraging students to question their gender is NOT the role of government.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trust me when I say that being a high school student in this situation is a nightmare. It's disheartening. This document is a step in the right direction.

It also REMOVES the parental role in decision making for their child.  The below provision is an example of the school interfering in the PARENTS right to determine how this is dealt with.  Usurping the parents control is unacceptable and the State has no right to do this.  Please reconsider this and provide an alternative narrative for discussion other than the one sided presentation of this issue provided. I n 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 process will require consideration of short-term solutions to address the student’s emotional needs to be affirmed at school as well as the long-term goal of assisting the family in developing solutions in their child’s best interest. For example, 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.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Disappointed by the bigotry.\nBody:\nAll I can do is echo some of the responses by others who have articulated this well: All students deserve a safe learning environment. This includes those who are LGBTQ+. As someone who has friends in the LGBTQ+ community, I can say with confidence that bullying, harassment, and institutional and individual discrimination are extremely damaging to children - to their learning, their mental health, their physical wellbeing, their safety, and their lives. Transgender children deserve to be respected for their own identities, just as cis-gender children are. This policy is way overdue. In response to community members who have claimed that LGBTQ-supportive policy will \"damage\" their own children, I encourage them to really consider what that damage would be. Having views that differ from those of their parents is not damage. Treating their peers with kindness and understanding is not damage. Accepting others whose identities and ideologies differ from their own is not damage. But discriminating against LGBTQ+ individuals is unquestionably damaging. I support this policy with full conviction and enthusiasm.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It is stated in the proposed policy that neither a student of school employee may challenge the status of a student.  How would the Board propose to address the feelings or protect the safety of a female student should a transgender female wish to use the female locker room / bathroom? Nowhere in the document does the Board address the potential cost of addressing potential privacy concerns presented by these policy changes.  Will the state bear these expenses or will this be left up to the localities? Although it is stated that athletic competition is not addressed in these policies, surely the VHSL will be under extreme pressure to conform to these changes at a later date.  We feel that transgender females being allowed to compete with the girls would be an extreme injustice and potentially present a dangerous environment for the girls. In reviewing the personnel makeup of the committee, it appears that there is a great lack of parental involvement. In the event that these changes are adopted, what is the vehicle for reversing these changes should they prove detrimental to the student population as a whole? In summary, we believe that these changes are an invasion of the privacy of the vast majority of cisgender students and in the long run, would be detrimental to the education of all students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents have the right to help their children and obtain medical and psychological treatment for their children when they are experiencing gender dysphoria. Under no circumstances should children be allowed to use bathrooms or locker rooms that are dedicated to those of the opposite God-given sex. While children experiencing gender confusion should be treated with compassion, telling them that they can chose their sex is a lie and is harmful to the child in the long run. These guidelines are radical and dangerous and should not be adopted.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Allowing them to identify as the opposite sex is their choice, by all mean, but that doesn't give the right for them to impose on others privacy or bodies. Allowing a male into a females bathroom is asking for trouble, and visa versa. My daughter will not be made to share the bathroom/locker room with a male because he \"thinks\" he is female. My son will not be made to share a bathroom/locker room with a female because she \"thinks\" she is a male. My children will not be made to think it's okay for the opposite sex to impose on their privacy. You are taking only a handful of children into your account, and not giving a crap about anyone else. You are asking for lawsuits, criminal charges, accusations, etc if this happens. I cannot even begin to list all the things that could and will happen, unfortunately.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These policies help to create a safe and welcoming space for transgender youth and are necessary to ensure equity, equality, and respect for all students.

I think that in the not too distant future the people who oppose such compassionate and reasonable guidance will be viewed in the same manner as people who opposed integration in decades past.  We know several transgender kids - despite the fact that they live in a supportive area, the world is not a supportive place for such kids, as evidenced by too many of the comments here.  Frankly, many of the comments I've seen cement the fact that VDOE needs to take the lead here and enact the guidance to protect these vulnerable kids.  It's clear that bullying and fear of the \"other\" doesn't stop at childhood.  Please protect our children and not focus on the bullies. For those who fear the \"repercussions\" of such treatment of transgender kids, I'll share that our community has treated them with respect, compassion and support.  My kids have learned to \"be a buddy, not a bully,\" for all kids.  Having transgender kids treated the way that they have here has taught my kids so much - and they would never condone the bullying and awful comments seen here. I urge VDOE to do the right thing, lead the way, and protect our kids!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

NO child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with an opposite biological sex. 3. The proposed policies articulate views that are far different from those of many parents. Through endorsement of views  regarding gender identification, etc. the VDOE has gone far beyond the path the General Assembly prescribes. 4. Schools should NOT be involved with gender identification and promoting it. 5. The Department's proposed agenda and policies would pit children against their parents when it comes to sex and gender identity. 6. The proposed agenda and policies infringe on 1st Amendment rights of parents to raise their children as they see fit and to teach them as they see fit.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Dogs don't pay taxes. Now this may sound crazy to you but that's how I view this insane policy of yours. It is not natural for a boy to be a girl and a girl to be a boy. It is not natural for me to be a dog. You are also taking over the role of the parents by hiding things from them if a child doesn't want their parents to know. Then there's the bathroom problem. Its going to create a lot of turmoil there. Girls will be paranoid about going to the bathroom. I would never send my children to a crazy school like that. Suppose a child wants to be a \"he\" one day, then a \"she\" another day, then an \"it\". If the teacher doesn't use the right pronoun then the student can claim discriminatory behavior by that teacher. A child who wants to be transgender needs some counseling and love. They are really messed up in their head. To promote foolish policies like this is going to create more problems than it solves. What a person feels is not what is right many times. Over time feelings change. What if the school reinforces a transgenders person perceived identity?  Years later that person finds their true biological identity and is angry that the school took advantage of them when they were young.  Young people that age go through identity confusion. Do they have the right to sue that school?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Girls should not have to worry that there is a boy in their dressing room who is going to compete with them or against them in sports.  Boys and girls are different in their abilities athletically and should compete with their same gender.  This gives an unfair advantage to the boys who join girls' sports. This is why the sports have been separated by gender.  Girls compete with girls only and boys against boys only.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We do need to promote the dignity of all children and lovingly help those struggling with confusion and mental disorders.  But for the state to indoctrinate children with novel and highly controversial theories is a direct assault on religious liberties and a parent's prerogative to instruct their kids in religious values. Regardless if what the State does, I will teach my children Biblical truth and ensure they know that gender is not fluid, but biological and determined by God's soverign work.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This includes transgender, nonbinary, and intersex students no less than binary cisgender students; queer students no less than straight students. We Virginians need and deserve schools in which administrators, faculty, and other school staff are fully committed to the safety, wellbeing, and thriving of their students as well as their education, and especially students who are socially marginalized, such as transgender, nonbinary, and intersex youth. School employees should be committed, for example, to correctly identifying students according to the names & pronouns those students use for themselves, protecting students’ privacy and sensitive information, preventing and correcting bullying and harassment from any source (staff, students, parents), etc. I believe, as it is often said, that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and that none of us are free until all of us are free. Where marginalized students (such as transgender, nonbinary, and intersex students) are treated well and thrive, all students thrive. Where marginalized students endure harm and live in fear, all students suffer harm. The health and safety of all students depends on the health and safety of the most vulnerable among us. This is an issue very near to my heart, as many of my friends and family members are transgender, nonbinary, and/or queer. As a disabled queer woman, I have experienced marginalization on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, and disability. Everyone, without exception, deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. I support the guidance. Cat Clark Alexandria, Virginia\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.

This proposed rules change will not encourage freedom or equality.  It carves-out special rights for a tiny minority group which deserves Equal, NOT EXTRA, consideration under the law!  These policies are poisonous to individuals and society as a whole.  They are an attempt to legislate thoughts and beliefs, as well as behavior, which are the exclusive province of individuals and families to choose, teach and adhere to according each's own conscience.  The state has no right, nor any authority to dictate what a child says, what they believe, nor how they think anymore than it has the authority to dictate such to an adult.  Our children are Citizens, too!  To interfere with the raising of another's child is a taboo offense in our society for a reason.  We are obligated to protect all of our children, not force them to conform to a radical \"universal\" standard that cripples their ability to think critically and make their own judgements about themselves and one another.  Children should not be cudgeled into behaving \"properly\" through fear, intimidation and threat and that is EXACTLY the system that this proposed policy would force on every child in our Commonwealth's schools.  I'm not even going to get started on the outright ugly unconstitutionality of this policy in regards to 1st Amendment Freedoms including Speech and Religion...those are patently obvious on this face of this abortion of a proposal.  So, NO, I do not support the brainwashing of our children through fear.  I don't believe anybody should be discriminated against.  I have suffered bullying and mistreatment in public schools as a youth myself for all 12 years that I attended them.  But there are already adequate rules regarding curbing and addressing the mistreatment of ALL public school students in Virginia with REAL equality...we don't need to invent a special \"protected class\" of schoolchildren.  I will teach my son to be Loyal, Honest and Kind.  That is MY responsibility and his Mother's.  The state can stay the Hell out of my child's head!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

But these two points rankle the most: 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. I remember high school restrooms.  There wasn't much privacy, but there was some.  The locker rooms were another story.  There you were, expected to change out of your Phys Ed clothes, take a shower, change back into your street clothes, all in front of the other girls. It was excruciatingly embarrassing for a developing, self-conscious teenager.  Imagine how it would feel if there were guys in the room as well.  Well, I would have to skip the shower altogether.  They may \"feel\" like they are female, but they are still guys.  I would feel violated in such a situation.  Are the feelings of a non-trans student worth nothing? Parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex would be at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect by the school. This part of the guidelines is stunning in its audacity.  Parents are supposed to encourage their children to become well-adjusted adults.  The state has no business interfering in the normal, natural development of children within a responsible household.  Lots of children dress up as the other sex.  It's called role-playing.  It's part of a healthy childhood.  The idea that a child can \"know\" he or she is the opposite sex, and that's their final answer, is preposterous. The idea that the state can arrest the parents for thinking it's preposterous is monstrous. This legislation is bad law, based on subjective feelings that cannot be proven or that may even be ephemeral.  Students who believe they are transgender should not be bullied in any way, and they can be treated with kindness and respect without any legislation at all.  By the same token, non-transgender students and their parents must not be bullied either.  For this reason I strongly oppose it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Schools should be a safe place for students to learn, where they are respected and appreciated for who they are, and where they are taught to treat others and themselves with respect and kindness. Trans kids (and adults!) need protection from violence and bigotry. Those parents who are uncomfortable can be engaged in dialogue to express their concerns and hear the concerns of this trans kids and those who love them. But their concerns should not be given precedence over that of vulnerable children. Public schools are for our entire diverse community, not special interests who want to repress children who don’t fit the dominant (white heterosexual cisgender) mold.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

So the school will be raising our children now? How dare they propose to keep parents out of the loop of such an important aspect of a child's life. And then if the parent tries to guide the child in the correct way,, they face action from social services?? And to top it off, these children make up an extremely small minority of youth. Bringing such attention and fuss to transgenderism will confuse and cause all the other children to question the way they have lived their entire life. We are slowly encouraging children to mutilate and be unhappy with their God-given body and lie to their parents. We are allowing adolescents with brains that are not fully developed to make decisions that should only be made by a fully mature adult with the tools to navigate such a huge decision and the repercussions of that decision. Teach children to love and be kind to all, but do not force them to use made up pronouns and act like they agree with the choices of these few children. School is for education. Please provide a multisex/multigender restroom/locker room so those that are confused can be confused together and do not subject girls to the possible abuse of these proposed rules by allowing any biologically male student to go into their locker rooms and restrooms without question, and vice versa. How about allllll the other students who may feel uncomfortable having someone of the opposite sex watch them change in the locker room? There are ample policies in place to avoid the bullying. Small changes are necessary, but not a \"no questions asked, no parents involved\" policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In elementary school  they are still trying to learn how to fit into the world and  in adolescence they are experiencing stong emotions impacted by homones and feelings of self-doubt and insecurity.  Sharing physical education activities, locker rooms, rest rooms and showers in middle school and high school violates the privacy of both genders and should not be mandated by government policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In that time I've taught several transgender students, and at the point at which they could openly be who they have felt they really are, I witnessed an amazing ease and happiness in them.  Without a doubt they have been the most gentle and kind of students, and the thought that they could be thought of as a danger to other students is ridiculous to anyone who knows them. Anyone who continues to oppose this is going to end up looking on the wrong side of history, just like the screaming White people in Alabama who tried to keep the little Black girls out of their school are rightly abhorred almost universally.  I assure you that students are much more open and accepting if transgender people than you probably realize, and more so than many of their parents. And even if there are schools with students who are opposed, they are the ones that have to learn to be more accepting. Transgender students are no threat to anyone except tragically sometimes to themselves when they are bullied and harassed, and not supported by the very people in the schools who are supposed to protect them. Do the right thing.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Their second consideration is for the safety of our children. This bill proposes that my child, who I gave birth to and then raised for 12, 14, 17 years, who I  know, love, and care for, can have a conversation with a school personnel whose sole responsibility is to educate my child for the 9 months or less they have them in class can have a conversation, knowing my child 9 months or less, and help then make a life altering decision without me knowing? Where is the logic?  Then send them home and I and their family will be the one who will walk along side their life changing journey and the school personnel will be long gone but I will still be there? Or you will have me arrested if I disagree in anyway? This is WAY overstepping the boundaries of government. All children are trying to find themselves in their developing years. You are saying someone who knows my child 9 months or less is better equipped to help them make these kinds of decisions? Educators study education and the subjects they teach please stick to what they have studied and are hired to do, it’s plenty. Secondly this bill jeopardizes the safety of my child. Not questioning a student before walking into the bathroom of their opposite biological sex puts our children’s safety at risk. In the workplace of adults if you look inappropriately at a co-worker, comment inappropriately, or make any innuendoes it is considered sexual harassment or worse. However you are suggesting it is ok for a biological male to walk into a girls bathroom or locker room during the scientifically prove “hormonal years” without question? You are jeopardizing the safety of our daughters and I will personally sue if something happens to my child as a result of this law. The department of education and educational facilities need to stick to the focus of education and safety and leave life altering decisions to the families who raised the children and truly know the children. You are stepping way over the boundaries of government. This is truly not your place and not what you were trained or established to do.\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: 1. Failure to use a student’s new “preferred pronouns” – which can change from day to day and even defy basic rules of grammar (“ze/hir/hirs”, “they/them/their”) – would be “harassment” and “discrimination”, for which both faculty and students would be subject to disciplinary action. “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) 2. 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) 3. 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) 4. 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) 5. 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) 6. 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) 7. 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) 8. 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) 9. 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 sh...

Virginia has a good anti-bullying law that addresses this. This new, proposed policy goes well beyond that. Yes, it is nominally about respect and safety, but it is disrespectful, not recognizing the validity of differing viewpoints. It crosses the line into mandatory promotion of only one viewpoint or ideology. The policy needs to guarantee the rights of parents and school employees whose beliefs differ regarding transgenderism (based on natural law, religious beliefs), and therefore allow for exceptions from the mandates outlined in the policy. The policy needs to recognize the fundamental rights of parents over their children and their education; therefore any discussion on these matters must include the parents. The policy should explicitly guarantee parents have the right to opt their children out of any education about gender or sexual orientation or any sex education. The parents have the right to determine what is best for their children, not the schools. The schools must not deceive parents. Also, the policy must respect and protect the privacy of boys and girls who do not want to expose themselves in a restroom or change clothes in the presence of the opposite sex. Furthermore, scientific studies and medical experts make clear the majority of children outgrow gender confusion by the time they reach puberty. It’s therefore irresponsible to push involuntary promotion of gender confusion in a public education setting, and it can be damaging to kids who are still developing.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This document states, “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, and expression of gender identity can present differently from student to student.”  What articulable threshold lies between “more than a casual declaration” and “[no] substantiating evidence?”  This document requires a transgender student to “consistently assert” their identity, but does not require that to be done for any “minimum duration” of time.  That attempt at logic flies in the face of the very definition of “consistent” (in this context, “acting or done in the same way over time,” from Oxford Languages).  What if a student genuinely changes their mind on several occasions about whether they are transgender?  How and how often will that be accommodated? This document states, “Students should be allowed to use the [restroom, locker room or changing] facility that corresponds to their consistently asserted gender identity.”  Does this mean that a fourteen-year-old girl might be put in a position in which she must undress or shower in the company of an eighteen-year-old “biological” male?  Since the document only requires single-user restrooms and private changing areas “when schools have [them] available” and “taking into account existing school facilities,” there is no guarantee that “cisgender” students’ privacy will be protected.  What if twenty or thirty students express a religious objection to undressing in front of one transgender student?  How will those objections be accommodated, given “existing school facilities?” This document states, “School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.”  Especially since the document has already established that transgender assertion need not have been made for any period of time, nor be accompanied by any supporting evidence, any male student will be able to walk into any girl’s locker room or restroom (or vice versa) unchallenged. This document states, “For overnight field trips, the school should not force the [transgender] student into single-occupancy accommodations that are not required for other students; however, such alternative accommodations should be made available to any student requesting them.”  If a student requests they NOT be assigned a hotel room with a transgender student, will that request be honored?  Will that student be disciplined for “sex-stereotyping” or creating a “hostile environment?”  At the very least, such a request is likely to subject the requesting student to negative peer pressure from more “affirming” students. This document states, “Whenever school personnel suspects or becomes aware that a student is being abused, neglected, or at risk of abuse or neglect by their parents due to their transgender identity, they should report those concerns to Child Protective Services immediately.”  The document does not make clear whether “gender-based harassment” constitutes abuse or neglect, but will a school employee have the authority or requirement to report a parent to CPS if that parent does not accept and fully support the student’s transgender assertion?  At the very least, these policies require school staff to hide a student’s transgender assertion from his or her parents, if that student so requests. If we abandon objective reality, we will forfeit our ability to set clear standards for behavior and morality.  Rather than protecting our children’s privacy and providing them “a safe and supportive environment,” these policies will do exactly the opposite.  They will also violate the First Amendment rights of students and school staff.  I STRONGLY OPPOSE the implementation of these policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Provisions like the ones proposed for trans, gender neutral and/or non comforming were not even concepts at that time, but I knew friends who’s lives it would have completely changed then - their daily lives. School is meant to be a place where every child feels accepted, loved and safe- and what better way than to evolve to ensure they feel this way. The fears that some opposition have are not to be disregarded, but I find it most appropriate to understand the feelings and opinions of those directly impacted, the students themselves in this proposal, and I think you would find that there would be overwhelming support. This change is a long time coming, and while as students nearly 20 years ago, we did not have the option, I am grateful to see change in policy proposals now. I completely support this bill.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

It clearly would infringe upon the rights of children who embrace their original, at birth, God-given gender.  No girls should be forced to share a bathroom or shower with a boy, even if that boy wants to say he wants to be a girl. This bill could  bring great civil unrest, parents withdrawing children from schools, and further divide our state and country. As a grandparent I oppose such insanity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

There are so many things wrong with this suggested policy, but I will list only a few. To begin, the Recommended Standard listed on page 12, not requiring \"school staff to notify parents or guardians of a students request to affirm their identity\" not only goes against every principle and standard that we as parents are held to, but is also in opposition to the Virginia Parental Rights Code listed under Virginia code 1-240.1 Rights of Parents. Withholding information from parents pertaining to their own child is counterproductive in allowing the parent or guardian to effectively \"make decisions concerning the upbringing, education, and care of their child,\" as stated in Virginia 1-240.1.  The school system should not be burdened with, nor be given that much power and control over children that are not their own. Secondly, allowing a student 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, makes it impossible for teacher to comply with these policies. Teachers and staff cannot effectively do their job of protecting all children given these standards. In fact, according to these standards, any student, whether transgender or not, could walk into the restroom or locker room of the opposite sex without question. You are giving too much control to the students to make decisions that they should not be given authority to make. We cannot assume that all children will make good decisions, which is why they have adult oversight. By enabling any child to make these type of decisions for themselves, you are endangering all children.  Children will be running the school system, not adults. There has to be a better way forward than these Model Policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy appears to violate the US Constitution's Bill of Rights and the Constitution of Virginia.  Denying parents their rights, allowing biological males into the female locker room, or the reverse, removing children from a home because a school does not like a parents perspective, letting children explore their sexuality on school time is not what we pay teachers for.  This policy will be costly for the Commonwealth in ways you have not considered.  If you are really worried about transgender bullying don't discriminate against non-transgendered people instead consider rules that exist at many federal facilities e.g.,  use of private unisex bathrooms for the transgendered.  Stop this policy now and rethink it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I am disturbed how about how the state wants to take away parents’ authority over their children and claim it for themselves. Calling failure to use a student’s preferred pronouns discrimination and harassment is ludicrous. It is arrogant of the state to claim they know better. It sets a dangerous precedent to turn parenting discretion into something akin to physical or verbal abuse. Also, forcing this policy is against the freedom of religion and against science. How do we solve gender identity issues by lying to our children that they aren’t the sex they were born with? It is as false as the former President’s claims of having won the election. Moreover, telling children they can choose whatever gender they want does not help children; it only causes confusion. We know by science that the brain is not fully formed until the age of 25, Then of course there is the grave physical danger of mixing up same sex restrooms. Many people with means will take their children out of the public schools because of this policy. But what of those who can’t afford it? I am saddened that it is mostly the poorer families who don’t have a choice of schools by this misguidance by the VDOE.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents should have the right to know what the schools are teaching our children and information needs to be supplied and with permission slips.

The parameters for teacher and students who are not transgender is left wide open for abuse of the policy.  A transgender student can (and they do) change from what sexual orientation they are identifying as on a day to day basis.  If students and teachers are not aware of what this is each day, the transgender student is easily offended leaving the teacher subject to disciplinary action on their job and another student who is unaware also subject to expulsion.  This will drive more teachers away.  We feel like VDOE should focus on the education of our students and these measures and many before this are overstepping the boundaries of an education system.  I do feel like transgender students should be protected from any form of bullying just as ANY student should but I feel like that's where VDOE needs to draw the line.  It is not up to our school systems to educate our children on sexual identification.  Perhaps you could focus on giving them resources of trained individuals.  If you so choose to adopt this policy then I suggest you provide adequate facilities within each school to allow transgender students to have their own restrooms, locker rooms, etc.  VDOE, I plead to you to stop the nonsense and better educate our children as the majority of them are not being educated and prepared for life after graduation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have supported and advocated for policies that ensure all students in our public schools have access to equal education.  This means supporting students in ways that prevent harm no matter their identity.  These policies will allow trans and non-binary youth to be safer from bulllying, harassment, and discrimination at the hands of their peers, teachers, and school staff and administrators. It will also guarantee that supports are in place to allow all youth, including trans and non-binary youth, to have access to an equal educational experience. Thank you, Deanna F.

You are not only infringing on the GOD given rights of parents to raise their children as they are fit but you are proposing to groom our children without our consent or knowledge in  a way that is, to many, immoral. You are also opening a door to allow all sorts of child abuse in various capacities! Our children, all children, are young and impressionable and need to be molded not by the school of public education, whose standards are government imposed and less than moral in principal, but by their parents who love them and want what is best them and know who they are as individuals and see them as just a number in a system of numbers. Parents of their own children have the best ability, insight and knowledge of what their children truly need to be the best person they can be and for you, the public school system, to think you know better is not only extremely offensive but absolutely un-condonable! You want to know why our school system is failing, it’s because the schools are trying to be parents to our children and teach them things that are the parents job. Quit trying to interfere into our family lives and remove parental authority from parents, to whom it was rightful given! And for once quit trying to be “politically correct” in a society of people , that has been raised by the government public school system, and that has no idea which end is up! There are two GOD ordained genders and anyone who says differently is selling something. No matter how you twist it, look at it, manipulate it, and distort it there will only ever be two genders on this earth! And to teach in schools  that this is not the case is politicizing our school system even more than it already is and over stepping the bounds of the separation of the church and state.  I absolutely oppose this model of policies for the treatment of transgender students in VA public schools. And as a final not the f this is somehow implemented be ready to have lawsuit brought against you for failure to maintain the separation of church and state in our public schools!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Teachers can’t do or say or teach many things but teaching transgender children without parent’s knowledge is not acceptable.  I realize things may be different now, but girls go to girls bathrooms/locker rooms and boys go to boys bathrooms/ locker rooms. Topless sports are out of the question too for girls.

Transgender theory contradicts science and reason. It is tragic that persons, including children, may question or even revile their gender- however, we should seek to heal these people, not drive them deeper into delusion. Just as we should not advocate for a girl suffering from anorexia who truly believes she is obese and requires liposuction to have this procedure, or convince a person suffering from schizophrenia and believes s/he hears voices to actually listen to those voices, we should help persons experiencing gender dysphoria deal with the underlying causes. The guidance document seeks to undermine much in our society, including (1) science (gender is more than what the guidance document suggests is just seemingly arbitrary physical or anatomical characteristics- every cell in a person's body says something about who they are, independent of whether that person attempts to cosmetically change appearance), (2) language (the terms \"male\" and \"female\" are poorly defined in the guidance document, which is ironic because they are the undefined standards upon which gender identity theory rests and to which persons compare themselves), and (3) privacy/safety (opening up bathrooms and locker rooms is a terrible idea, and I cannot believe I even have to advocate against it). I hope more logical, prudent heads will prevail and we will turn away from this.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My child will not use the same bathroom as a boy and feel uncomfortable when doing so. This will allow predatory responses to happen easily to our kids. We don't give participation trophies and you are either a boy or girl. This is strange to even be a thought, religion aside for all of this.

These policies strip parents and teachers of all rights and gives them to children, who can't even decide if they like PB&J one day versus the next, yet they are allowed to determine their gender moment by moment. This would require that teachers can't inform a parent that an opposite sex is using the same locker room as their child (possible abuse), BUT they would be required to report a parent for child abuse if they do not fully support the student's gender whims. Anyone who has taught kids, knows how easily they change their minds based on circumstances. Insane. As a parent of 4, I will NEVER enroll my kids in public school in this state with these policies. As a teacher, I can't imagine the critical funding wasted on this agenda and the endless lawsuits it will create. Good teachers will leave public education forever if this is enacted. Stop the insanity. Focus on supporting teachers. Allow parents to be parents.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Their need of structure, counseling and spiritual guidance should come from the home, not our schools. Teachers, parents and students should not have to sacrifice their spiritual ideologies to cater to the transgender community. And, last, it is unacceptable that boy and girls who identify otherwise would be able to dress as they want and use whatever restroom or locker room they choose! I have raised strong young men and a young lady who will not be exposed to the theatrics that this would entail if allowed to go on in the school system.

This could happen the other way around also...a 18yr old girl who 'identifies' as a boy and could harm a younger boy.  Unfortunately, there are people boys/girls , men/women who are just evil and will harm others.  If you think that will not happen in schools, you are delusional. This is not keeping any of the children safe....I truly believe it will cause more harm.

Transgender politics do not belong in the schools!!  First you take God out of the classroom and then you take the Pledge of Allegiance.  Then our children are indoctrinated with a political view of liberalism.  They are no longer taught history and now are being taught that we are a racist country.  And now, they are being allowed to declare themselves to be a transgender.  And if parents disagree, their rights are taken away.   A child is declared a child until the age of 18.  Until then, he or she should be treated as such.  There is a reason that we wait until they turn at least 18 to declare them as as adult.  Parents are there to provide guidance. Let the parent do their job and schools should stay out of parenting rights. I talked to my grandchildren who are teens in high school.  They are against having boys dressed as girls using the girls restrooms. They are against girls dressed as boys using the boys restrooms.  Have a \"Transgender Restroom\" available for use.  Don't force our children and grandchildren to be subjected to something that could result in abuse of the situation. Let the majority speak.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

For elementary school, children lack sense of discretion on this, and to have someone guide them in a direction, or counsel them to try something instead of teaching them right and wrong at an early age is absolutely nuts.  My girl has wanted to be a boy on several occasions, but normally it was because boys get to do this, or boys get to do that.  I believe probably every little kid has had these questions, I thought I wanted to be a girl when I was younger because girls had way cooler hiking boots.  I don't think these urges are wrong, I think they are natural, but I think that is for the parents to work with their children on.  NOT THE STATE SCHOOL. High school it will cause way more problems/concerns.  What if my daughter was using the restroom and a boy came in because he was trying something out?  I'm not ok with this.  Sports teams, locker rooms, and other areas would be of extreme concern as well. All students will be allowed to use any bathroom or locker room they choose (Draft Policy, p.18) I can't imagine if the guys in my gym class growing up had a female in the locker room.  Would that really be better?  I think it would lead to all kinds of problems, both physically and emotionally.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is not a role our education system should be taking on. If it is really about protecting rights, then let them work it out with the parents, that's THEIR right. Why is it that the higher percentage who are not transgender will be the ones to suffer the most infringement of their rights? Why is the state demanding and legislating our  acceptance of such a serious concern from children who should be children, not some poster child for an agenda? Choices have consequences and in no sense of justice should YOUR choices legislate MY consequences. But that is exactly what is being put in motion. If you cannot vote, buy alcohol or cigarettes, or join the military until you are an \"adult\", then lets take this off the school systems that need to be focused on education, not social reform.  Isn't it interesting to consider that the vast majority of legal cases out there are from the female athlete perspective, trying to preserve their sport from men? I couldn't even find one case where a male athlete was suing because of suffering a loss by a transgender female athlete. As for the issues with locker rooms, sports and males competing, it is simple. If you are biologically a boy, who identifies as a girl, you shower, dress out, race or compete with the boys, as the girl you feel you are. If you are uncomfortable, remember, choices and consequences.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Consider the use of private unisex bathrooms for the transgendered.  If they are being bullied then the school has a problem with it’s anti-bullying policies or implementation.  NO ONE should be bullied.  Making sure no one is harassed or bullied is where the school’s involvement should end.  The school should not be denying parents their rights and threatening action to remove children from a home because a school does not like a parents perspective.   Schools should stick to teaching the basic subjects (reading, writing, arithmetic, factual history, etc.) and leave the rest of a child’s development (including exploring their sexuality) to their parent. School vouchers and charter schools are the best way to help parents improve their child’s educational opportunities and environment.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are many faiths, not just Christianity, that this would effect. To say that you would report parents because their faith doesn’t believe in it, is against our rights as parents. I was taught to respect other religions even if they believe differently than I do and this would be going against that in so many different ways. I have read reports from psychologists that say this would be confusing to students in so many ways and be harmful. If this passes, you will have parents and possibly teachers leave the public school system in droves. I would leave and not let my girls go to a public school system. As a teacher, I believe in teaching all children regardless of their views on themselves and others. The majority of teachers would treat a transgender student with respect and try to accommodate their belief. But to make it mandatory and even include elementary schools in this, is a detriment to the mental health of all children. Again, as a teacher and a parent, I strongly oppose this policy. This would infringe on our rights as Americans.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I was impressed by the diverse team of professionals who provided expertise to develop this model document including those from psychology, public policy and education. According to the document, the guiding principle of the policy to is to create schools  that are free from discrimination and harassment, schools where students are treated with dignity. As a scholar and educator committed to the promotion of equitable learning environments for all students, I support policies and standards that promote safe and supportive learning environments for everyone, including transgender students. Furthermore, as a Christian educator who teaches and works at a Christian university in southwestern Virginia, my faith, values, commitments, and public witness compel me to work for justice and equity for everyone, particularly those whom are most vulnerable to violence and injustice. Thank you for your support. Dr. Johonna Turner Eastern Mennonite University\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Certain education is and should be segregated by gender as there are two genders and they need to learn different things on certain subjects. If this policy goes in, it would be even more evidence the public school systems are radical liberal institutions that can no longer be entrusted with educating our children\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

First of all, if schools can't provide a safe environment for all students, regardless of who they are, then they are failing to to their job.  Is verbal harassment and bullying allowed now?  Where it does occur, do you think these policies are going to discourage or encourage harassment?  Forcing teachers to address a student with a gender-neutral pronoun?  Prohibiting teachers from questioning students about their gender identity when entering a bathroom that differs from their biological sex?  I'm not sure how much of this policy is rooted in love and respect and how much is a product of fear.  I try my best to raise my children to respect everyone to the extent possible and always assume good in people.  Of course, we adults know that it is not always possible to respect everyone and everyone is certainly not good.  Therefore caution is required and the safety of our children is paramount.  If teachers are restrained and live in fear of reprisal if they question the sexual identity and motives of a student, how does that provide a safe place for the vast majority of the student population?  I am not suggesting that we ignore the population of transgender students in the HCPS system.  I believe they can certainly be accommodated through the use of private / single-person bathrooms and allowed to dress in appropriate clothing if it is not a distraction for the other students.  Use of pronouns should also be appropriate and not be a distraction for other students.  I'm sorry, but \"ze\", \"zir\", \"zem, and zeir\" are distracting.  Aside from being distracting, singling out individuals by use of these pronouns is bound to increase harassment by other students.  I don't know what the population of transgender students is in HCPS, but the percentage of population in Virginia appears to be less than 0.4%.  While laws and policies should be inclusive of all people, regardless of the size of their minority, they should not be at the expense of others.  These policies by HCPS and other school systems in our country have created a thoroughly confusing and intimidating environment for all children.  We can address the needs and concerns of, maybe 150 individuals, on a case by case basis without sweeping policies that infringe on our other students right for a safe, non-intimidating educational environment.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is anti-discrimination at its most basic. If you are really afraid of YOUR child being exposed to a transgender person in the bathroom, maybe YOU should think about homeschooling YOUR child?? If you really think that YOUR child cannot accept someone as they are, maybe YOU should think about the morals that YOU have taught YOUR child?

Reading through comments on this town hall, there are a few things I would like to address in addition to giving my full support of this legislation whose core aims to promote the safety of trans students in public schools: As a graduate student in the medical domain, I can confirm that there are, biologically, not only two biological sexes. Non XX/XY chromosome pairs are naturally found in about 1/100 births, meaning that about 1/500 children are born with a biological sex that may not genetically conform to what we may consider a \"boy\" or a \"girl\". For this irrefutable genetic proof to exist and then people to deny the evidence or even possibility of a gender spectrum (irrespective of sex determined at birth) is short-sighted and uninformed. I see the \"how can we trust boys who would be going into girls' bathrooms and vice versa?\" argument popping up a lot. If this is a concern, shouldn't we be equally concerned about gay, bisexual, and other queer students sharing the same bathrooms as other kids? How logistically would that work, a survey of middle schoolers responding to questions on their sexual orientation? This is evidently a fear that comes from things people do not understand, so I recommend anyone who doubts the reality of the LGBTQ+ or trans communities read up on current scientists' and psychologists' thoughts on the matter, not what was being said 30, 40, 50 years ago. The freedom of religion in the United States is one of many which allows us to express ourselves without Congress telling us what we can and cannot believe or say...within reason. A line is drawn when religiously-based actions cause harm to others. Contextualizing a bit, I'm sure there were many Virginian Christians who deeply believed that God did not want Black students in their white public schools less than a century ago, but that does not mean that injurious religious actions and motivations are legally allowed. Despite Christianity promoting support of vulnerable populations, I think prejudice often overtakes this fundamental Christian value, undermining some Christians' racist or LGBTQ+phobic thoughts and actions. To reiterate, LGBTQ+ lives matter, trans lives matter, and I hope young trans students begin to feel safer and more accepted in the public institutions which are designed to educate and protect them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is not harmful to cisgender youth to have them support their trans classmates. It is not going to \"turn them trans\" or anything like that. It is, however, harmful to trans youth to be discriminated against by teachers, classmates, administrators, and so on. We need legislation like this to make school safer for the next generation of trans youth and all youth. My trans and nb friends went through discrimination by teachers and students alike, and it hurt them. I stayed mostly in the closet to avoid similar treatment, and that hurt too. No kid should have face that.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Allowing mixed genders in bathrooms and locker rooms, with no control over what happens in there, is traumatic for everyone involved. There has to be a better way than this option. I have a teenage daughter and cannot imagine what she will have to process through in being required to strip down in a locker room with a male, or her seeing a male strip down in front of her. I have 4 sons as well and the thought that they would be subjected to this from a female in their locker rooms is equally as disturbing. Whether people identify as the opposite sex or not, the body parts still matter and forcing opposite sex to be together and seen inappropriately in this way with no protection for either party, is simply a chaotic and traumatic encounter waiting to happen. I’m baffled that this even needs explanation because this should be common sense. Also this leaves room for those who are opposite sex, who do not identify as opposite sex, but have bad intentions, to enter into bathrooms and locker rooms, for the “fun” of it- and the hands of authority are bound and can do nothing to protect the very children we are supposed to care for.

Sadly, this is not always the case.  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 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. I do not support this.  In fact, it's enough for me to want to take my daughters out of the public education sector.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents are the guardians of their children and should not be removed from discussions regarding their children's mental health and identity questions. Children who are being bullied, harassed, or discriminated against should be protected under current policies. Those policies are in place to protect ALL children. If someone is being harassed for what they believe about themself or anything else, the person doing the harassing needs to be disciplined. New policies are not required for this. It should be happening already. There are people who will take advantage of this new policy and use it to gain easier access to their potential victims of unwanted sexual behavior. My comments are submitted as anonymous because I fear that I will be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against because my views aren't the same as others'. Please remember that the more the government legislates, the more danger its citizens are in of being shut down and discriminated against.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I’ve been fortunate enough to work with trans teens and found them to be incredibly level headed and well prepared for the world. Studies show that transgender kids who are allowed to transition as kids don’t experience the same levels of depression or suicidal ideation that my generation faced. It’s hard to imagine how much time, pain, and struggle I could have escaped if I’d gone to school in a time that accepted gender non conforming students. This measure is just an over due adjustment of social values. I support any measure that moves us toward a world where gender is truly a non-issue in regards to a person’s value.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Our country has strayed from God's word and this is why we have the mess that we do today.  In NO world should the government or education system be afforded the right to have more influence on children than the children's own parents.  Raising children starts in the home NOT the school system!  Government is SEVERELY overstepping by trying to take the place of parents and by trying to dismantle the nuclear family.  This is the way that the liberal left wants to gain more control by further brainwashing younger generations and teaching them the evil and corrupt ways...  What happened to equality and inclusion?  Oh, that's right, its only equality and inclusive if it supports the agenda and narrative of the liberal left.  This is clear discrimination against those (mainly Christians) who speak truth and God's word.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In going forward with this change, you are not simply making a decision many (if not the majority) disagree with, but are imposing a policy which many (again, if not most) understand as nothing short of evil. In a time of already great division and the growing belief that there will be a civil war, to make a move that just a decade ago would have been seen as absurd and nothing less than a conspiracy theory to accuse someone of wanting to impose is a level of recklessness I can only attribute to a desire for not simply creating a hardline of division - a line in the figurative sand - but of causing chaos and destruction. That is, you are either assuming that those who know this to be evil will do nothing to protect their children and their neighbor's children from it or you are assuming that they will oppose you. I firmly belief you are naive and foolhardy if you assume the former, and will find yourselves flabbergasted when this causes an escalation at the local level, even to the point of violence against state officials if they were to attempt removing a child from their parents' home. If you believe the latter, however, I can only assume you want to cause an escalation, that you have such destruction present within your hearts already - possessed, as many of you are, by an ideology of breaking down the old and re-congealing the new  - that you must manifest it into society. It is difficult to understand (hence, title of my comment) how adults can even consider such a decision unless one assumes the aforementioned former or latter. There is no situation where making this change either brings about what you desire or avoids conflict between many, if not most, counties of Virginia and Richmond. As for the essential belief of this policy: it is that people are not their bodies, but are 'minds,' 'souls,' or 'spirits' of some sort trapped within a flesh-y vehicle. This is wrong. People are their bodies. For society to permit people to act as though otherwise is itself an evil against those very people, a refusal to help them, as well as a lie told to society at large. I do not see you as a caring group, but a group of abusers who refuse to help those who are suffering on account of the beliefs in sex, humanity, and society which you yourselves have caused in the first place. You claim fear and paranoia and resulting hatred grips your opponents, but I say to you: it is a hatred of sex and society which grips you and compels you to destroy along with your own phobia: an irrational fear of submitting to reality. Needless to say at this point: I oppose this policy - it is fundamentally evil.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Do not change it because a few people are uncomfortable because this will in turn make everyone uncomfortable! I have no problem with gay people or transgender people I believe everyone deserves to be loved but if you are a God given boy which means you have a penis then use the Men’s/Boys restroom.

First, it is unfair for schools to mandate how people should think about transgender identities in Virginia, especially teachers. Its is ironic that the first “Related Law” list is the First amendment. The actual text is conveniently left out, but what remains is just a shadow of it and what the author only wants the reader to consider. Also protected is the right to disagree with transgender accommodating policies. The author also takes the time to explain how Title IX “May be understood”  - such that it promotes their point of few. Enacting these guidelines would mandate that teachers surrender their right to speech and faith in favor of a student’s need for affirmation. This is done by not only mandating the pronouns they use, but requiring the “LGBTQ- inclusive and affirming curricula” while a very effective teacher may not wish to affirm a LGBTQ lifestyle. Finally, under “Other Considerations” these guidelines begin to address opposing viewpoints. However, this is done only to the extent to defend these guidelines, not craft an education that aligns with the values of the community. This also assumes that teachers, students, administrators, and others connected to the school are not the ones in opposition. This is suppression, not engagement. Second, this legislation empowers students over parents. The idea that a parent’s wishes for something as simple as the name of their child would not be continued in the classroom is absurd. In the event a parent is dissatisfied with that, what are they to do? Take their child out of school? It takes away the rights of parents to raise their children over an issue that is still very much up for public debate. Third, these most of these provisions do not protect transgender students but are rather just left-wing catch phrases. As someone who is not long out of high school, I can promise that very little of this addresses the root problems of being a teenager. Kids are not bullied just because “societal prejudice and lack of awareness or understanding”. They are bullied because the vast majority of kids are self-conscious, victims of poor parenting, and never taught how to behave. Even “good kids” will be sarcastic to get a quick laugh. If you want to stop bullying, the answer is for kids to have someone in their life that cares about them. A coach being excited for a kid or a teacher asking about a child’s day does far more than any sensitivity training. This will help students learn not to bully as well as how to handle hardship in a productive way. Finally, there is no attempt at bipartisanship. I am a conservative with a heart for children and young adults. I respect the need for protecting privacy and making sure counseling is available for all children – including LGBTQ students. However, what in this should make me feel that my values or opinion is even respected by my legislators or my schools? This reads more like a left wing blog post than legislation that balances the needs of all citizens.

Those that disagree, need to do their research and see that a fully supportive environment leads to better mental health outcomes.  The suicide rate amongst transgender teens is staggering and heart breaking.  We fully support our child, as does his peers, community, and school.  This is undoubtedly why he is happy and thriving.  We need more communities and schools like ours so that other transgender children can have the same outcomes.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This strong action will not only help enrich the educational experience for non binary and transgender students, but also for children who identify as neurodiverse \"outside the box thinkers\", differently-abled students, and ultimately, for all students. If one door is opened to inclusivity, it will lead to many more opening. My dearest hope is that this will lead to inclusive sex education that is based on current evidence based research and to a non male-centric view of female anatomy as wrong or distracting.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

GLSEN believes that schools should be places of liberation where every student can thrive and reach their full potential. Two decades of GLSEN research documents the fact that LGBTQ+ students disproportionately experience school climates that are hostile to their overall well-being and educational attainment. This is especially true for LGBTQ+ students who are Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC), transgender, nonbinary, and students with disabilities. All students deserve a K-12 education system that allows them to learn and grow free from harm. In order to achieve that goal, LGBTQ+ students must be afforded the equal opportunity to learn in a liberated and liberating school environment. A majority of transgender youth experience discrimination at school related to bathroom and locker room access. Transgender students experience the following types of discrimination (and %): Accessing bathrooms 58.1%; Accessing Locker Rooms 55.5%; Improper use of Names/Pronouns 44.5%; Inappropriate enforcement of wearing Gendered Clothing 20.5%. On this basis GLSEN supports the adoption of the proposed guidance, however we believe that a few revisions and clarifying edits in line with our recently updated State Education Agency Recommendations on Nondiscrimination Protections and Inclusion of LGBTQ+ Students in K-12 Learning Communities , would strengthen the impact of this laudable proposal: Throughout the proposed guidance we recommend replacing several repeated phrases with updated or best-practice phrasing: Replace “transgender status” with “gender identity” wherever it is possible. In some places the document makes use of the acronym “LGBT” and in other places the document uses “LGBTQ+.” We recommend using the more inclusive and affirming “LGBTQ+” as the standard throughout the guidance. In instances where the document refers to “gender-based” harassment, bullying, or discrimination, we recommend replacing this with “sex-based” because this language is most aligned with the Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, Ga. In several places the document makes reference to a student’s “asserted name” or “asserted gender identity.” We recommend removing the word asserted in each of these instances. Qualifying name/gender identity with the word ‘asserted’ gives the connotation that these may not in fact be the student's true name or identity, which is dis-affirming and not accurate. There are several instances throughout the guidance where reference is made to the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) policy from 2001, we suggest updating these sections to reflect the most current, relevant OCR policies that will be updated under Biden Administration’s Executive Order on implementation of the Bostock v. Clayton County, Ga. decision on nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people in multiple dimensions of life. [1] In the Section titled Background (p.6) we suggest including a brief explanatory paragraph about the rapid evolution of language around this topic to inform readers of the need for clear definitions but also flexibility as the terminology changes. We suggest including the following: “Transgender and nonbinary students may use different terms to describe their lives and experiences of gender. Terminology and language differ and evolve based on region, language, race or ethnicity, age, culture, and many other factors. Some examples of terms used by some youth include: trans, trans girl, trans boy, nonbinary, genderqueer, gender fluid, demi girl, demi boy, Two Spirit (amongst Native American, American Indian/Alaska Native, First Nation, or Indigenous communities only), and many more. Some trans youth prefer simply to be referred to as boys or girls except when their gender identity is specifically relevant. These terms often mean different things and refer to different gender identities.

God has created everyone, does not make mistakes and asks that we love one another and this is inclusive of everyone no matter what. Fear mongering is not a healthy way of dealing with persons who are different than ourselves. We should be examples of embracing each other instead of being afraid of who is not familiar.  By not being open and accepting, it only continues to breed more confusion and in some cases hate. Take a moment to love and live. Love that transgender child who deserves to be treated with dignity and grace every day of their lives just as the child who identifies as straight. Everyone is entitled to live their authentic lives without fear of retaliation, bullying and hate.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These people just want to survive and in no way are a mental condition, or any less than who they say they are. Science has backed that Transgender people are who they say they are. These kids deserve to live their life with just as many options as their fellow cisgender classmates. For those that say that transgender athletes will make it unfair, there is literally not one state that has a transgender athlete dominating any high school sports. We are a diverse group of people that encompass the Untied States and we need to allow each individual to grow with the same chances and the same opportunities for experiences.

We are opening the door to many potential dangerous situations for children.  People to take advantage of these transgender policies to enter into areas that they should not be in, to be around privately someone of the opposite sex.  Potentially setting children and/or young adults up for unwanted sexual situations.  To change, for the worse, sporting & recreational events and what is accepted as far as team sports / players on a team.  Parents have the right to teach their children their beliefs, religious and other.  School's have already interfered too much with religious beliefs.  Parents have a right to know about their children, have a right to send them to receive education where they are not being \"taught\" something from a school system that goes against their beliefs, religious or not.  It is not the school's responsibilities, nor right for the DOE to develop a policy to negatively effects more than it positively effects.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

To suppress who a person feels they are as a human can have damaging psychological consequences. The APA has recently revised their guidelines on transgender persons and the negative affects suppressing who they are as a child can have. Their born gender should be kept in kind to HIPPA guidelines and as for playing sports, we allow females to play male gendered sports. A transitioning male who is on hormone therapy through the support of their parents and physicians will not have an advantage over a female athlete as they will have testosterone blocked and estrogen levels boost. Leaving them perhaps at less of an advantage as they're adjusting to new and different hormone levels.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Allowing students to decide their own locker room, change gender identities on any given day, and do all of this without any proof beyond their own words is folly. We do not let students choose things like their bedtime, whether or not they go to school, if they finish their homework, and countless other things, yet we are willing to let them determine not just their own identity, but how the entire school is run based on the day. This is dangerous and will have dire consequences.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Have yall even thought of the possibility that sexual assaults could talk place in that type of situation?? Maybe the trans kids should have there own bathroom/locker room!

I agree that no one should be descriminated against due to POLITICAL, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, SKIN COLOR or RELIGIOUS REASONS. These policies can be abused and will be. Gender Identity dysphoria is a real condition and those in the trans community have spoken out on it. I also believe there are those are \"born in the wrong body\". Ive met and spoken with a few. The mothers body decides sex even if the chromosomes disagree. To mandate or force things is a bit ridiculous. I think other options are needed or better yet stay out of it. My daughters teacher refers to everyone as \"friend\". Im absolutely fine with that. Speak with the even keeled educators as to what they think and stop listening to the zealots. Ive had my fill with all the amped up folks on each side of the line as both sides make us all dumber. Ive traveled through Japan and South East Asia and Trans folk are generally accepted. Why cant we look to other cultures whom have already addressed the issues? My main thing is stay the hell out of how I raise my kids. My families religious beliefs are not for you to scrutinize. Our way of life is none of your concern or buisness. You may find yourselves in a class action lawsuit should you press the issue further. Your rights end where mine begin and vice versa. Im moving out of this show of a state either way and wish you all the best of luck with a fair and reasonable solution that accomadates all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

You are also putting them in danger sexually by not keeping the bathrooms, locker rooms and any other designated area separate to male or female. This is wrong. Instead of the kids being able to make these decisions and you keep this pertinent information from the parents, these kids need psychological help to understand why they are feeling this way in the first place.

If it isn’t apparent from the comments on this public forum, our transgender and gnc youth are facing horrible discrimination.  These measures are necessary and life-saving. We cannot expect our students to learn and succeed in an atmosphere where they face the same vitriol so easily spewed on these pages. Please give our students a fighting chance. If they are to be the next artists, scientists, athletes, or teachers we have to give them the space to grow. We have to give them the space to be resilient, extraordinary, unique.

In myriad dimensions, it is an empirical fact that the physiological and psychological imprints of human binary sexual nature play a significant determinative role in our individual identities.  The physical realities of being male or female are not interchangeable.  Setting forth policies that encourage and insist that our children believe otherwise (or at least force them to outwardly acquiesce to such notions),as done in this document, does them no service, but will do great damage. Most directly, encouraging children experiencing gender dysphoria down a path of transitioning to their supposed gender identity exposes them to significant health risks, especially as drastic medical and surgical interventions are being more regularly employed for these individuals during early puberty in an attempt to conform biological appearance to supposed gender identity.   The long-term health side-effects of these interventions are not well known (to the point that the British Court system recently ruled these treatments were both experimental in nature and lacked evidence that they provide intended benefits) but appear include increased risks for developing cancer, irreversible changes to bone health, removal of healthy body parts, and loss of fertility.  In addition, the individual is set up to require a life time of medical intervention to maintain the fight against their own biology.  Given the weight of the implications related to a decision to transition---and given the fact that the vast majority of gender dysphoria cases tend to self-resolve by late adolescence/early adulthood---DoE school policies that truly serve gender dysphoric students would be oriented towards helping these students navigate childhood and adolescence towards integrating their biological and emotional realities to the greatest extent possible while protecting these individuals from true forms of bullying. The policies and language set forth in this document further do a disservice to the entire student population of our schools. Scientific and technical literacy are of central importance for our student's futures, and yet anti-scientific claims and language form the basis of this policy document.  For example, sex is a measurable, biological scientific fact.  It is not something that is \"assigned at birth\".  The above mentioned clinical fact that most gender dysphoria cases self-resolve raises significant objections to the implied claim that gender identity should be the determinant factor for all external understanding of and interactions with an individual because it (one's gender identity) is an \"innate part of a person's identity\".  We cannot expect that our children will take seriously our efforts to form their logical and technical faculties (or develop an accurate valuation of the scientific enterprise) if we insist on contradicting the scientific corpus and their own observations of reality in other portions of the curriculum or within administrative policies. This policies in this document do not serve the best interests of Virginia's public school students and should be tabled.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I feel the \"safe for all\" definition is not taking the safety, of biological male or females into consideration. According to this policy, schools will have to allow boys identifying as girls, to use the girls’ bathrooms or change in female locker rooms, and it can be done without parents being notified! 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. Our kids have enough to worry about and enough changes to be adapting through as they are growing, we don't need to add this on to them. This is a huge mistake for the school system to take on this agenda. The kids aren't even back to in-person learning and you all are considering such foolishness as this bill. Parents are struggling to work, some from home and some can't now because of kids not being in school. The kids are struggling with their school work and just wanting to get back with their friends, meanwhile you all are choosing to focus on a topic like this. Please vote against this bill!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I know that conservatives agree with that statement, only as long as it's applied in line with their beliefs. If that can be understood on one side, then it can and should be understood (and applied) on another. That being said, protections put in place for transgender students/staff can only bring positive change which will then create much safer and enjoyable learning/work environments, for ALL.

Public schools should focus on educating ALL students equally in the areas of academics, career skills, and positive conduct/behavior.  Public schools should NOT create policies that indoctrinate students with social, political or religious agendas.  No policy should violate a student's individual rights to privacy and safety.  Allowing boys to use a girl's bathroom or locker room violates a girl's right to privacy and may make them feel unsafe at school.  I would support individual/private bathrooms and changing rooms for all students.  Additionally, parents should always be informed of issues regarding their children as they are the legal guardians and primary caregivers.  No policy should allow for the withholding of information pertaining to the health, safety, or well being of a child from their parent/guardian.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I feel the \"safe for all\" definition is not taking the safety, of biological male or females into consideration. According to this policy, schools will have to allow boys identifying as girls, to use the girls’ bathrooms or change in female locker rooms, and it can be done without parents being notified as other parents have stated. Young girls are at risk of being exploited or potentially harmed by young males.  Please think about the potential for sexual assault or teen pregnancy.  This can cause more harm than good. If a child wants to identify as transgender that is fine, I understand privacy or rights, but children needs safety and as a mother of a daughter I am concerned that if this passes you are putting my child and any parents child at risk for being harmed.  please vote against this bill!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I feel the \"safe for all\" definition is not taking the safety, of biological male or females into consideration. According to this policy, schools will have to allow boys identifying as girls, to use the girls’ bathrooms or change in female locker rooms, and it can be done without parents being notified as other parents have stated. Young girls are at risk of being exploited or potentially harmed by young males.  Please think about the potential for sexual assault or teen pregnancy.  This can cause more harm than good. If a child wants to identify as transgender that is fine, I understand privacy or rights, but children needs safety and as a father of a daughter I am concerned that if this passes you are putting my child and any parents child at risk for being harmed.  please vote against this bill!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am opposed to biological males, no matter if they choose to be called female, being in the restroom with biological female students unsupervised. I am opposed to allowing biological males to compete against biological females in sports where the biological male has an advantage due to physical ability linked to the fact that there is a male chromosome which gives them a different build and physical ability that biological females cannot overcome. I have no problem with anti bullying, calling the person whatever they or their parents choose or allowing them to dress however they wish. I do have a problem with punishing a teacher, staff member or another child for inadvertently not using the preferred gender or name. The school board should concentrate on academics for all children and let the parents deal with gender issues and any other health or sexual issues. Help should be provided for any child being bullied and also for any child who is perceived to be a bully. Again, usurping parental rights in order to promote an agenda many parents disagree with is not acceptable and has no place in our schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Discrimination of any kind in schools is repugnant and all teachers should be working to eliminate any and all discriminatory actions.  One of the biggest things we teach students is that they should feel confident in being who they are and should be proud of their individuality.  If this goal of teachers does not include a student's right to express themselves and identify as they best see fit than the education system is choosing to act with intent of hypocrisy and are actively not putting the effort in to make every student's educational experience the best it can be.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

But I find most insidious the clear intent to usurp parental rights by hiding what may be happening with a student at school from their parents. Parents are entitled to be the first to know about anything affecting their child's health and wellbeing. Any attempt by the school to play the role of guardian and come between a child and their parent is very troubling and only a sign of what will come.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I feel the \"safe for all\" definition is not taking the safety, of biological male or females into consideration. According to this policy, schools will have to allow boys identifying as girls, to use the girls’ bathrooms or change in female locker rooms, and it can be done without parents being notified as other parents have stated. Young girls are at risk of being exploited or potentially harmed by young males.  Please think about the potential for sexual assault or teen pregnancy.  This can cause more harm than good. If a child wants to identify as transgender that is fine, I understand privacy or rights, but children needs safety. All need to be respected. Please reconsider this bill and revise to consider the privacy, respect and safety of all involved.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It'd be one thing if there were at least some tests to determine if the boy is one of the former, as he won't be as troubling in actuality. But if it's a No Questions Asked policy, then the sympathy of the school should lie with the children whose' sex and gender are, in every sense of the word, female.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Cis gen boys will attempt to use the cis gen girls facilities in hopes of seeing cis gen parts and vice versa, all the while claiming some random gender identity to get around getting in trouble, regardless of the consequences. This is creating a higher risk of sexual assaults and possible rapes. If that's not a psychologically damaging result for our larger majority of the student population, I don't know what is. These policies say protect this miniscule group, but what about the larger portion of the student body that these policies may create danger for that wasn't there before. Which administrator will take the responsibility of a sexual assault or rape on their watch directly associated to these policies. I oppose. Sure don't bully the kids that identify differently but boys and girls need a certain level of privacy of their own without being creeped out by the boy staring at the girls in the locker room or vice versa. I oppose these policies. They are not safe.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

They should not be bullied.  They should feel safe. But, when you write policies that work off the assumption that the teachers or counselors at the schools have the right to know MORE than the parents about kids, you are taking on a role that is neither legally yours nor safe for students. The most concerning statement in your guidance document:  \"If a student is not ready or able to safely share with their family about their transgender status, this should be respected. There are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student’s request to affirm their gender identity, and school staff should work with students to help them share the information with their family when they are ready to do so.\" Are you serious?  You TRULY believe that a child's GENDER choice should be kept from the people who are responsible for raising them?  Parents are legally responsible for their children; or are you planning to take that on, as well?  So, parents can just dump their kids off with you whenever they have disagreements now, since the schools will be taking responsibility for raising all of the students, right?  Because the weak argument you are trying to make here is that you understand and care about  kids more than their own families. It takes arrogance, audacity and ignorance to step in between parents and their children.  You have taken an important topic - that transgender students deserve safety and respect - and have created a policy that completely oversteps your place in the world.  You are not raising these children.  You do NOT have a lifelong relationship with them that their parents do/will.  You are people who we, the tax-payers, PAY to do a job - - educate students.  The work you do is important, but in NO way does it now, nor will it ever, supersede the place of parents in those students lives.  You have zero right to keep life-changing information from parents.  This is not your place. Additionally, your policy is written with the assumption that all of the teachers and counselors involved with the students truly have their best interests in mind.  There have been enough predators in the school system that you are utterly delusional if you think there are not people who will take advantage of the secrecy afforded by this policy.  I have taught my kids that parents and teachers keep NO secrets from each other, and their teachers have taught the same; kids should NEVER be in a position where another adult has more information about them than their own families or is encouraging them to keep secrets from their parents. That is an open-door for predators. But, this policy advocates that adults who have maybe known students for 6 months or a year are allowed to withhold significant, life-altering information from the parents who have known them their whole lives.  Again, what incredible arrogance.  Having a teaching or counseling degree does not raise your position in the world over that of parents.  You do not hold this right. Please, PLEASE step back a moment and stop allowing a few advocates to bulldog their opinions into policy.  There will be some parents who do not agree with the school staff, or even the students.....so get them counseling, if that is what is necessary.  There are also parents who do not want their kids playing sports; would you put them on a sport team without permission?  No.  Why?  Because you would get sued, because you Do Not Have The Right. For some reason, this particular topic has been slipped into policy in the most invasive, underhanded way I have ever witnessed; the fact that the policy-makers have placed educators over parents for this issue alone is a clear indicator that there is another agenda at work here.   Please do not allow such an incredibly subjective view to be written into policy for the entire state.   Instead of protecting an agenda, please rewrite the document to protect the STUDENTS and FAMILIES. You are not entitled to guide children in such a personal, significant area, any more than you have the right to force your religion or political beliefs on them.  You have a temporary role in these students' lives; please don't presume to know what is best for them.  Politics do not trump Parents.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The reasons are many, I will address a few. To promote allowing a student with gender dysphoria to pursue secretive actions at school without the knowledge of and input from parents is a usurpation of parental rights in raising their children.  Parents should be informed and able to confer with a Mental Health professional of their choice for their child without the interference of school personnel and agenda-driven activist advocates who have been hounding public officials, schools, and educational boards for many years to implement their desires. Gender Construct Theory has no scientific data or evidence to back it up, and it has no place in our schools whether it be curriculum or policy or invited speakers.  Students are in school to be educated in what they need to be successful citizens, not to be socially engineered to question something as basic as their God-given gender, thus sowing wide confusion and angst for students and within families. For the historically small number of students that do present with gender dysphoria, the data shows that most (61-98%) resolve their confusion and embrace their biological sex during puberty.  If the school starts running interference to promote the dysphoria, negative consequences are likely to occur for the child and the family. I recommend the book Irreversible Damage by Abigail Shrier to shed light on the current fad among girls to question their gender.  Schools and other influencers have played a role here, and it is not pretty.  The Model Policies will cement that destructive role for Virginia Schools.  I am opposed.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

A few things: one, this insinuates that cis boys cannot help themselves when existing in the same space as cis girls, which is sexist. Two, this insinuates that the fault is at the hands of cisgender people and not, in fact, transgender people. And three, if someone, cis or trans, sexually harasses someone, it has nothing to do with their gender identity; that person is just a creep. But these arguments are a waste of time and get us nowhere. This law is necessary because trans kids go through so much more mental strain and discrimination than their cis peers. They need protection and a sense that they will be treated just as respectfully as anyone else. Deprive them of a sense of security, and their mental health will surely suffer even more. Being a kid can already be hard enough, so why make it worse? I support the law. I support protecting our trans youth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This persons post hits my feelings prefectly. This is dangerous, for everyone involved, the students, the teachers and the parents. I will be pulling my children from public schooling if this passes. Oppose: Violates 1st, 5th &14th Amendment; violates settled law regarding parental rights I would like to second the comments made by Paula Ryan of the the Family Foundation.  I've added my own clarifications using [brackets]: If passed in its current form, VDOE policies would allow any student, while at school, to act as a member of the opposite sex – including name change, pronouns, and the use of opposite sex bathrooms and locker rooms – without the knowledge of and permission of the student’s parents. Additionally, under these guidelines, schools will also be permitted to help a student explore, facilitate, and make decisions about his or her sexual identity while at school without the permission of the child’s parents.[This violates settled law regarding parental rights.] Additional policies proposed by the VDOE include: 1.      Failure to use a student’s new “preferred pronouns” – which can change from day to day and even defy basic rules of grammar (“ze/hir/hirs”, “they/them/their”) – would be “harassment” and “discrimination”, for which both faculty and students would be subject to disciplinary action. 2.      The definition of “Gender identity” is completely subjective to each person claiming it, hence it cannot possibly be known by anyone except that person. Since it cannot be tested or ascertained by any objective method, nothing could prevent students from constantly “changing” their “gender identity” to exploit many situations. 3.      Parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex would be at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect by the school. 4.      Schools would be prohibited from notifying parents if a biological male is using the same changing facility as their daughter that was designated for girls. 5.      All students will be allowed to use any bathroom or locker room they choose, without being questioned by any school administrator or faculty, eliminating privacy and safety of students in states of undress. 6.      Parents will not be notified that their child is being interrogated by school officials for allegedly violating these policies, nor will parents have the opportunity to intervene on their child’s behalf UNLESS the complaints are not resolved “at the school level.” [This is a clear violation of due process clause of the 5th amendment.] **Please note: All of the above proposed policies are permitted without the permission of the children’s parents. Wait a minute, aren’t parents responsible for the upbringing of their children? Yes, when it comes to raising children, parents are ultimately responsible for their children’s care and well-being. Additionally, most Americans believe that parents should have the primary responsibility of raising and educating their children and that the government should not interfere with this right except in cases of abuse and neglect. Parents assume a variety of responsibilities including providing for the child’s basic needs, ensuring the child is educated, and protecting the child from harm. This isn’t just my opinion, either. The law in Virginia clearly affirms these principles in § 1-240.1 where it clearly states that, “A parent has a fundamental right to make decisions concerning the upbringing, education, and care of the parent’s child.” Furthermore, in 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the rights of parents in Troxel v. Granville when it noted that “the liberty interest….of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized by the Court.” The Supreme Court also affirmed the natural duty of parents in Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925) when it overturned an Oregon law that prohibited parents from sending their children to private schools. The Court asserted that that the Oregon laws violated the fundamental rights of parents to direct their children’s education noting that, “The child is not the mere creature of the State; those who nurture him and direct his destiny have the right, coupled with the high duty, to recognize and prepare him for additional obligations.” There are also legal and financial responsibilities that go along with raising children. In particular, as with most states, parents in Virginia can be held legally and financially responsible for the actions of their children. For example, if a parent or guardian fails to take reasonable steps to supervise their minor children, and one of the minor children causes harm to another person or to someone’s real or personal property, then the child’s parent can be held legally and financially responsible for the actions of that child. These are called parental responsibility laws, and they have been part of our legal system for over a century. It is abundantly clear that the Commonwealth of Virginia is guilty of actively seeking to undermine parental authority by implementing rules that lie in direct contrast to the legal responsibilities of parents as recognized by the Virginia Code and the U.S. Supreme Court. What about the rights of the students who are not “transgender”? I think we can all agree on one thing – no child should be bullied for any reason. However, this doesn’t mean that kids claiming to be (or being told by adults that they are) “transgender” should be allowed to force other children to accept environments that make them feel uncomfortable, conflicted, or violated. For instance, the notion that all students must be permitted to use the bathroom of the opposite gender if they simply  “identify” as such because using the other bathroom would make them feel uncomfortable ignores the fact that this will likely cause many o...

I am a nonbinary lifelong resident of Henrico. I've seen the impact of transphobia in the schooling system because one of my closest childhood friends came out in high school. Being forced to mask who you are is devastating. Schools should seek to avoid pressuring trans students into situations that make them feel unsafe and to support initiatives protecting them from transphobic bullying. Every single person who opposes this on the basis of \"truth\" does not want to embrace the personal truths of other people, and are therefore opposed to their existence. Transphobia measurably degrades the mental health of trans youth and drives more of us to suicide every year. Listen to scientists. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/stop-using-phony-science-to-justify-transphobia/\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Shared restroom, locker rooms, sports participation etc is an opportunity for misuse and harm to the average student and the programs.  Restricting parent involvement and placing all importance on student desires contributes to family breakdown.  This policy, as written neglects the freedoms and rights of all and focuses only on the transgender student.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They imply that the school knows better than the parents in raising their own children. Virginia can do better. Many parents strongly believe that gender determination comes from God. The school should not indoctrinate people otherwise. At a time when parents and students are desperate for schools to reopen immediately, it's disappointing to see VDOE expend so much time and effort on this instead.

Recent history -- including other people commenting here -- has shown us that some wish violence and even death on transgender children and their families. Transgender students deserve protection from those that clearly wish them harm. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I do not believe this current model policy is it. VA DOE needs ownership from all sides to be successful and from the comments they have alienated many families with this policy. The net effect of this policy is that it could be undone with the new state administration resulting from upcoming elections. Further, those that can will pull their students from public school, creating a large layoff of school personnel which further hurts the community, the education of our children and ultimately our society. These are already trying times. Let's work together to create a lasting model policy that serves all. This is the only true way forward.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is not a biological phenomenon to begin with; it’s the result of an unstable mental status and confused young individuals who have issues dealing with reality. They’re young people lacking guidance from their parents who have not made the time or wanted to deal with their children’s instabilities and problems. It’s about denouncing God’s creation by choosing to become what we were not created to be. It’s a rebellious sin against every word of the good “Book”. Don’t you dare calling me hateful or any other names, just for expressing my opinion and what I believe in. People are born equal and deserve to be treated that way, but we have to draw the line somewhere. Do you ever wonder why families are falling apart! What is happening to our society, what is happening to our world, a world with declining moral fiber. What happened to our social values! We're living in a corrupt fake environment full of lies and deceit. Our school system is part of this increasing pattern of abnormality, when politics, transgender and other non school related subjects are being tough and promoted to students, being referred to as the new \"civilized world\". I refuse for my children to be part of this bathroom sharing, yet I encourage our schools to solemnly designate special bathroom facilities for them, and I also encourage our children to offer them the same similar respect they offer anybody else.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These policies basically remove parental oversight that would protect children from perverse teachers and faculty.

Instead, we should empower our trans* and nonbinary children so they are ready to take on the world outside of school.

Schools should not be indoctrination centers.  Freedom of speech to express one child's identity should not take away freedom of speech for another to reject the idea that sex and gender aren't biological constructs that have been normally followed since the beginning of mankind.  To drastically change those norms without sufficient evidence of harm to society as a whole is a radical idea and one that can negatively impact the mental health of children for generations to come.  Instead of making everyone else confirm to gender dysphoria, you should focus more on affirming to every child that they are loved in their own body and not to be ashamed of how GOD created them.   For children who are confused about their gender, you should get them psychological help that will help them cope with and overcome gender dysphoria, not affirm their mental illness.  Considering the suicide rate for transgenders is much higher than the normal population, you might want to think twice about further promoting such a lifestyle.  You cannot change a person's dna no matter how hard you try so these children will grow up constantly feeling inadequate.  If you stop promoting transgenderism, most of them will eventually revert back to their biological sex.  The rest of society doesn't have to go along for the ride while they figure themselves out.  And you certainly do not have the Constitutional authority to infringe on the rights of others to sit out the transgender bandwagon without being persecuted for their lack of conformity.  Transgenders should have equal rights, not special rights.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Forcing opposite sexes into bathrooms, locker rooms, sports teams and more is not the role of education. You are contemplating actions which erase girls and women from society and devalue the roles of girls and boys in society. Meet the individual needs of any student based on their particular needs: trans, blind, special education, whatever. Do not, however, meet their needs at the expense of others. That is where things go off the rails; you cannot grant a right to one person by usurping the right of another. So much harm has come to students at the hands of people who claimed they knew better over the last year. Do not further poor decisions by experimenting on the whole of a student population. Find another way - and never forget the obligation to respect the primacy of the rights of parents, those who hold cultural and religious tenets, and minor students (both girls and boys), who have inherent differences which should be valued and protected.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These students were incredible in so many ways and a joy to work with. They were passionate, hardworking, creative, and spirited individuals. Their gender identity was not always easy and often a process of discovery. I am so thankful that my class and school overall (for the most part) could be a safe space for these young adults. Unfortunately not all schools in Virginia create safe spaces for trans-gender (gender-expansive, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming) individuals. This policy is a step towards providing a safe learning space for all students in Virginia's schools. While our state and nation's history is full of discriminatory policies and laws, Model Policies presents us with an opportunity to do better going forward. I want my state's laws and policies to reflect values of freedom and respect for the most vulnerable among us - our children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Stop being politically correct and \"woke\".  Boys claiming to be girls are entering female sporting events and dominating them.  This is in direct violation of Title IX.  Perverted men claiming to be women are entering female bathrooms to spy on and leer at women.  Men and women are equal and separate sexes, yet transgenderism is hurting women everywhere.  Transgenderism is a mental issue and needs to be treated as such -- it's not a \"separate valid gender\" to be celebrated.  There are thousands of kids who are being misguided into believing they are something they're not.  Some of them are being encouraged to take hormone pills and undergo dangerous surgery to alter their bodies.  This only makes things worse as the kids realize they did not improve themselves. Please dump this evil leftist liberal godless crap!  It is not worth destroying our kids over!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Any issues arising between the child and the parents should be worked out with the family and whomever the family wants involved. Also, regarding a child's desire to change their gender identity as they see fit. Are we as a society willing to give that choice to a child that is not mature enough to make decisions that will permanently affect the rest of their lives? That is like giving a CHILD a stick of dynamite and a lighted match and telling them its a candle! They are emotionally incapable of understanding the gravity or consequences of the situation and will never be able to undo the results.

If you feel the need to send transgender children into another bathroom then my suggestion would be to have a third private option where they can go and change or use the restroom in private. I am understanding that people have different values and beliefs. But I feel like allowing boys to go into girls restrooms and vice verse is extremely inappropriate and I do not feel safe with the decision to allow this. One of your jobs is to keep children safe. A majority of our children are not transgender and I feel like some children would be taking advantage of this situation. If you are worried about keeping transgender children safe then refer to my suggestion above about a completely separate area for them. I was a victim of sexual assault at a young age and I just feel like placing my daughters in a potentially dangerous situation is not acceptable. You all need to do better at leaders and for our children then exposing them to this. Let the sexually confused children’s drs and parents deal with their situation in private and you should stay out of it if you can’t keep the majority of kids safe. sincerely; Mrs. Heather B A concerned parent\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Most take a \"live and let live\" attitude. What is proposed here is bad policy and financially costly. The number of transgender students in FX County (the largest school system in the state and one of the most supportive of trans students) is estimated to be less than 50 people total and yet this policy places significant burden on millions of good teachers, administrators, parents, and other children. It is likely that there are school districts in Virginia with single digit transgender people. It is more practical, and more cost effective, to treat each transgender child uniquely at their school. I am also strongly opposed to the school system stepping in and assuming the role of parent. Parents must be at the center of their child's life, and brought into the conversation. Studies have shown that when children feel disconnected from their parents, their life outcome is severely degraded. This policy undermines parental involvement and is therefore detrimental to the long term success of children. Further, will this policy ultimately enable biological males who are transgender to be allowed to participate in girls/womens sports? Scientific evidence is clear that these athletes would have a significant advantage over biological females. The unintended result will be that many young girls are discouraged and end up feeling inferior in biological males. This is exactly the opposite of what our systems are set up for. There is a better way than this policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Science does not support the view of transgender thought.  This is a psychological problem and should be dealt with as such. As responsible parents, teachers and members of society, we should fight to remove the stigma associated with mental illness and work toward getting them the help they are screaming for. In addition,  any psychologist knows well that children do not complete brain development until the mid 20s, which also is affected by biological sex.  Let's get these children the help they need to understand what they are going through. In addition, children who know they are either male or female should not be subjected to the issues this poor thinking subjects them to.  It infringes on their rights.  This is a can of worms that should never have been encouraged, much less considered. Let's get these children help and support that are confused.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

PARENTS are the authority and MUST be included, informed, and communicated with. PARENTS must take back their authority over the education of their child. Though it has already begun, my concern is these woke, pc, and negative policies enacted in one state will inevitably transfer to other states. Having lived and served on a public school board in VA, I've seen how parents are systematically being ignored, removed, and negated when it comes to the education of their children. Parents are desperate to have alternative education environments for their children so they aren't subjected to political agendas and policies that are the opposite of their core belief system. It's shameful that VA continues to fight to limit school choice, which in many cases traps parents into making choices that aren't in the best interest of their child. This practice is nothing short of promoting and ensuring failure for a percentage of the K-12 population. I do not support and will ask you not to support any policy that removes parental authority out of the decision-making process.

I strongly disagree with the recommended standard (p. 12) which states, \"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...\".  I believe it is the parent's job and perrogative , NOT the school's, to help a student explore, facilitate and make decisions regarding their gender expression of sexual identity while at school. I also strongly appose the the idea that \"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) I believe that my teenage daughters have a right to change in all female locker rooms and bathrooms and should not be forced into a position where they would see male anatomy while changing for sports, PE, etc. I believe this violates their basic rights. I disagree with many other points in the proposed policy change as well.  I feel like my rights as a parent will be taken away. PLEASE DO NOT PASS THE PROPOSED POLICIES.

Your rights end when others' begin\nBody:\nTransgender Policy: Your rights end where others’ begin.  Thomas Jefferson said, “There can be no Right, or Limitation of Right, inconsistent with, or opposite to the greatest public Good.” These policies are big changes that would infringe on the rights of many other people.  I think they would be very unhealthy for a multitude of reasons.  They are offensive to many people and will not accomplish what you want, but create a more hostile environment. The policy treating it like other discrimination and harassment (Draft policy pg. 10)- complaints could be weaponized against other students and/or teachers. This could be exploited by any student by changing their minds and ‘gender’ at will, any number of times. Particularly offensive and illegal – a blatant violation of parental rights – is the idea of the school helping a student to explore, facilitate, and make decisions without the parent’s knowledge or consent!    (Recommended standard, Pg. 12)  This would be opening up schools to lawsuits, not to mention political suicide. In addition it is the RIGHT OF THE PARENTS to nurture their children as they see fit.  It would be blatant and illegal over-reaching to interfere in this area of parenting and report it as abuse, if they disagree with radical ideologies.  The ideas that you propose to set forth as policies are not proven to help children with gender confusion.  There is much evidence to the contrary.  (Recommended standard, pg. 13) I have cited multiple Supreme Court cases below upholding parents’ rights to nurture their children as they see fit. The policies would also put many girls at risk for harassment, abuse and violence.  What about the rights of all of the girls in these facilities – their right to feel secure in restrooms and locker rooms.  What parents want their 9 th grade daughter entering a bathroom, or locker room, with a 12 th grade biological male?  (I do not know of any!)  Again, you would be responsible for opening up the schools to lawsuits. The policy would essentially “tie the hands” of school staff: “School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom.” (Recommended Standard, p.18) You are forcing a worldview that is based in feelings, not based in facts .  Transgender is not biological reality.  Human sexuality in binary.  Females have X,X chromosomes, males have X,Y.  Someone who identifies as transgender, that is not in their body, that is in their thoughts. Thoughts and feelings, are not hard-wired; they are subjective. They can be factually wrong, or factually correct.  (Delusions are a real thing, and the definition is a fixed, false belief.)  You would be doing more harm than good and it seems these policies are intended to create more confusion about gender in students, than to actually solve any problems.  (https://sexchangeregret.com/how-to-debunk-transgender-madness-in-2-minutes/) One of the world’s leading authorities on gender confusion, Dr. Paul McHugh, former psychiatrist in chief at Johns Hopkins University Hospital warned, “…policymakers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention.” ( https://fwipetitions.org/fwi/16-facts-on-gender-confusion/ ) For children who experience gender confusion, family therapy can help. Dr. Kenneth Zucker, head of the Child and Adolescent Gender Identity Clinic in Toronto, Canada and one of the leading authorities in the world on gender disorders, has treated over 500 children with gender confusion. He has documented that in the vast majority of cases , therapy focused on reducing the psychopathology within the family and child and has resulted in the child’s acceptance of their birth sex. (Zucker, K. and Bradley, S. Gender Identity Disorder and Psychosexual Problems in Children and Adolescents, The Guilford Press, New York, NY, 1995) ( https://fwipetitions.org/fwi/16-facts-on-gender-confusion/ ) Just a few SUPREME COURT CASES regarding parents rights involving their families: Meyer v. Nebraska (1923) - A case ruling that parents may decide for themselves if and when their children may learn a foreign language, based on a fundamental liberty interest individuals have in the family unit . (And this has much broader implications than a foreign language!) Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925) - A case deciding that parents may not be forced to send their children to public rather than private schools, based on the idea that, once again, parents have a fundamental liberty in deciding what happens to their children. Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) - Connecticut's laws against distribution of contraceptives and contraceptive information to married couples are struck down, with the Court relying on earlier precedent involving the rights of people to make decisions about their families . Jones V Barlow (UT Supreme Court, 2017)  The Court upheld the right of parents to raise their children.  It held that a lower court’s award of visitation rights to Barlow’s ex-partner wrongly interfered with Barlow’s “right to direct the upbringing of her child”.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These changes will have detrimental effect on the physical and mental health all children. Your intent may be to sooth feelings of some children. Enacting these rules, however, will be creating an environment negatively effecting the overwhelming majority of students. These rules will only increase severe mental health issues related to depression and anxiety, not reduce these issues. We've already seen massive increases in depression and anxiety among children and adolescents, and increases in suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and, sadly, suicide. These result can be avoided by reversing and not implementing these directives.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Given this is true, and given that young people who do not understand this process may have questions, may  bully or distain transgender individuals, or may become confused;  adult guidance is needed. The adults responsible for the education and care of all of these children deserve good information in order to support them all-- both transgender and non, and from preschoolers to 12th graders.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Forty percent of transgender people have attempted suicide.  The brain is not fully developed until the age of 25.  Therefore, how in the world can someone make such a life changing decision before then?  I was considered a \"tomboy\" until I was about in 9th grade.  I cannot imagine how my life would have turned out if my parents would have made such a horrific decision for me!  The parents that make this decision for their child should be considered child abusers.  Children are exposed to so many inappropriate things at too young of an age as it is right now.  We need to get back to putting our kids first and knowing what is appropriate for them instead of what gender we want them to be because they did not come out of the womb the gender that we were hoping for.  Kids have enough to go through as it is with social media.  We need to look at protecting them more by keeping them away from things that are not appropriate for them and perhaps we would not even be having this discussion.  Kids go through traumatic events.  Therefore, they should have professional counseling (and not just a school counselor) in order to be able to deal with what they have gone through instead of making them think that their life would be better if they were the other gender.  God DOES NOT make mistakes, and the parents that are doing this to their children will have to answer to it! The person(s) that proposed this horrific Bill should be removed.  Hopefully, they will be removed from office with the next election!  Let kids be kids!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I fear this could be used as an excuse to get into the locker room of the opposite sex. I also fear confusion for the rest of the children. Couldn’t there be a separate room or separate restroom for them that would be a way to respect everyone’s privacy and choice?

I am not saying or implying that people that identify as transgender will necessarily harm anyone. I am saying is that changes like this can very easily be exploited by people with bad intentions.  Therefore you are potentially putting people at risk for really no other benefit then to make yourself feel better.

The definition the policy proposes for gender identity is fluid, subjective, and unscientific. The policy removes parental rights and gives too much power to unaccountable school staff and bureaucrats. It also removes students' rights and privacy by allowing boys into female bathrooms and locker rooms and even allows boys to share rooms with females on overnight trips. And finally, it compels speech by forcing people to use the transgendered vocabulary and is a form of verbal bullying in itself.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While I fully understand that transgender people have a long road to walk and will support their choice, our schools are not the place for this.  Can we teach tolerance and understanding?  Absolutely!  But should 2 children of a different sex share a bathroom???  Absolutely not.  This is a safety  concern for all parents. When kids are in middle and high school,  they are learning who they are sexually, pushing children together like this is only going to cause issues.  Our schools should be promoting peace and understanding for all sexes and orientations,  not deciding which bathroom they should use.  This is not about being politically correct,  this is about our kids, the most important part of our lives.  I choose to keep my kids safe and teach them tolerance and if this is passed, my children will be homeschooled.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In addition, for many students school is the only safe space for them.

It seems very reasonable to me that for gender non-conforming students there should be access to facilities that help them maintain their privacy when changing for school related activities.  I can see there is true value in that consideration.   However, the guiding principle that a school staff member may not question a student who enters a gender specified bathroom and is only known to the staff as the opposite gender clearly poses problems for mischievous behavior at best, and concerns for safety to the other students at worst. I also have to wonder how would each school district be able to determine an accurate percentage of the student population they would need to provide these facility considerations for so school taxes are not being wasted on an ambiguous budgetary line item?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Furthermore, putting this burden of forcing a teacher to deny their own conscience or to deny what they plainly see is heartbreaking. As if teachers weren’t already struggling right now!? Perhaps some teachers have no issue with this, but where is the conscious clause for those who will undoubtedly struggle? Where is the conscious clause for parents who don’t wish to complicate their child’s education with such unnecessary distractions? I am quite sure there isn’t one. We’ve gone mad. ??‍??\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Equally as appalling, this draft guidance also seeks to undermine parents' authority to educate their children in the area of sexual mores. If imposed, this guidance will force students and parents who object to this offensive intrusion into this sensitive area, to either protest loudly and constantly, and, or pull their children out of Virginia's public schools. Accommodation may be able to be made for students suffering from the gender dysphoria disorder, but brainwashing all students and staff, and proposing to spy on and turn-in parent to CPS, is not only wrong-headed, it is an assault on the freedoms of conscience, expression, privacy, and religion. This is a dangerous draft policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This is way beyond self-righteous. The current model policies states on page 13 \"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.\" Who is to determine what is defined as at risk of abuse or neglect? This is at the discretion of the individual teachers and school administrative staff and many of them have very extreme and biased views regarding transgender students. I have heard of specific instances in other states in which a student has been upset that their parents were concerned over the child's interest in changing their pronoun and that was sufficient in the eyes of the teacher to be abusive. This is crazy. I also have an issue with schools not being put in the position of \"outing\" a student to their parents. You are saying that schools know better and that values held by the VDOE supersede that of parents and families. This is an appalling premise. I have fundamental issues with transgender youth in general. Transgender adults is a whole different issue and I totally support the decision of adults to make this important decision, but please educate yourselves if you believe supporting transgender youth is actually OK.  However, believing you are superior to parents and that you should play the role of parents is morally wrong and reprehensible. You are encouraging children to potentially live dual lives and I assure you will increase the suicide rate among students. You are absolutely destroying the lives of these students and their families, which is unconscionable.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Your biological genital should determine which bathroom to use.This rule is going to be exploited by perverts intentionally going into the wrong bathroom ,then claiming they are transgender. I think it is ridiculous to hold facility accountable for mistaking someones gender. society should not have to comform to someones sexual preference. Why should my daughter be forced to share a bathroom room with a male,what about her rights. Forcing citizens by law to use certain pronouns is a violation of free speech. I do believe we need more individual bathroom stalls and better access to mental health.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This breakdown of fundamental principles like modesty ,privacy , and decency should not be shoved down People’s throats...especially our most impressionable and often vulnerable! Why would ANYONE  want to designate  a place and provide an opportunity for dangerous situations to occur. At a time when rape, child trafficking, pornography, sex trafficking, and other crimes against children and women are rising, would you suggest such a blatantly stupid idea. Clearly, accommodations  can be made for the VERY small minority( for example...unisex one stall bathrooms with showers)  this mental illness effects without inflicting this dangerous practice on the masses.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I believe they will provide excellent education and guidance to localities in Virginia, which in turn ensures appropriate and supportive responses to students identifying as transgender. As a parent of a student entering public school within the next year, I believe these policies are essential to ensuring that all children have a right to learn, free from discrimination and harassment. These policies also uphold the values and behaviors that I would want modeled for my child by adults that are leaders and authority figures in their school community.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

And there is NO consideration given to those who might take advantage of these policies (boys saying they're transgender just to get into the girls locker room) or for other students to complain (or be heard) in any manner. These policies also cut out parents to a crazy degree. Parents have every right to know what their children are learning and what is going on in the school. I strongly oppose these policies. If these policies are instituted, my children will no longer attend public school. I will not subject them to this stuff.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Since forever and the beginning of time all you have ever known or seen was male or female, boy or girl. There are only two options to choose from why do things need to change now. You have to wonder where this notion came from and the effects that it is having on people. God, yes GOD created man and woman, nothing else. Why must we allow our minds to be conformed to a world that have not respect for humanity. The children are seeds from God, allow them to grow up and defend who they want to be, a doctor a lawyer, their was never an option or thought of transgender, so why now. Children are sent to schools to learn and grow up to be the next leaders in the world. They are faced with a number of bullying and abuse from other children why add to it. Every want a voice, but has anyone thought about the consequences that lies ahead. Children are hit with peer pressure  daily to make good grades, compete in sports, do better than you did the last time, who has the latest this or that. Why burden them with this transgender non sense to create more drama and more bullying, more peer pressure. What happen to schools being a safe place, to go and learn. We have taken the focus off learning that our children are failing in social skills, academic skills and basic skills to succeed in life. Can we just stop the madness for one second and think of the confusion, frustration, depression and pressure this will cause. I DONT WANT TO SEE MORE OF OUR CHILDREN DYING AND KILLING THEMSELVES  BECAUSE OF FOOLISHNESS LIKE THIS.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Sure you had many different personalities, race/ethnicity, various religious beliefs, taste in music, and their own passions in life; none of these impacted my personal beliefs, there was no expectation from others that I shall adopt their beliefs nor were they forced down my throat in a manner such as this  ridiculous proposed policy.  As a parent of three young children this policy is deeply concerning.  This will be another hurdle and distraction that will reduce the teaching capacity of teachers and the learning capacity of students.  I fear this will drive the good educators out because teaching false science and made up pronouns is not what they agreed to when they went into this career.  Quite frankly, I don’t want my kids subjected to this nonsense either.  I would love to see statistics on how many transgender students there are in elementary school and middle school in Virginia, because I can’t find anything under the age of 13.  If that’s the case why are we subjecting these young children to made up pronouns and forcing everyone to adhere to a policy full of lies.  I am firm believer that ALL people should be treated with dignity and respect no matter their beliefs, race, etc.  In closing, I fully support students suffering from this mental disease known as gender dysphoria and I’m in favor of those vast minority of students getting the help they need, but leave the majority of children out of this nonsense and let them focus on learning real science and truths.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Biological sex is an objective reality. Requiring everyone to use opposite-sex pronouns or be judged guilty of harrassment (p. 10) is requiring everyone to lie.  2. This requires ALL facilities and activities that are sex-segregated to be based on gender identity rather than biological sex: restrooms, locker rooms, overnight accomodations on field trips (pp. 16, 17).  It is a gross violation of privacy, especially for biological girls, to require them to share intimate spaces like bathrooms and locker rooms with the opposite sex.  3.  Compounding the problem, the document advises teachers not to challenge any student entering what may appear to be the wrong restroom, etc., since being challenged may be emotionally harmful to a transgender student (p. 17).  This is an open invitation to non-trans teenage mischief-makers or predatory boys, who do actually exist.  4.  Moreover, although the document pays lip service to the idea of allowing any student who is uncomfortable to request alternate accomodations, it also specifies that transgender status is protected health information and may not be disclosed without the trans student's permission (p.11), so an objecting student may not know until after the fact.  5.  Based solely on the trans student's statement that he or she would feel unsafe, the school is not to tell his or her own parents about trangender status (p.12). Parents have the right to know what is going on with their own children.  Parents often know details about mental health, past trauma, physical problems, etc., that may be extremely relevant and the school may not know about. Teenagers do often exaggerate and sometimes are known to lie, and the majority of parents want what is best for their children. Lying to parents is a gross betrayal of trust on the part of school staff.  6.  Participation by biological boys on girls' athletic teams is unfair.  Male puberty confers a significant advantage.  As one example, in 3 years of competition two transgender athletes in Connecticut took 15 state titles that had been set over more than a decade by about 9 different actual girls. For all these reasons, and more, I oppose the model policy. There is one portion of the document that is quite reasonable, having to do with dress codes.  If it will relieve gender dysphoria, by all means allow students flexibility in what they wear.  I would also strongly support making sure there are single-user bathrooms/changing rooms available for transgender students who are not comfortable using the facilities available for their biological sex.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It becomes more about the winning and losing and a political agenda then it is about the children or their families. I have worked professionally with children for over 35 years. I know one thing to be completely true and that is with children, generalities and agenda are not going to work. Children, ages 18 and below, need to be heard and helped by those that understand the specifics of the situation, that know the individual(s) involved, and are helped by those that know best. I have read in detail the legislation that is being put forward and a great deal of it is excellent. But there are parts of the legislation that harm both the individual that they are trying to help and parents and other individuals that are the closest to the situation. One of my best friends is a Child Psychologist in Germany. When I asked him for his insight he sighed and commented that the problem with Americans in this context is that anything to do with psychology/psychiatry, we immediately go to extremes without consideration for science, study, and the individuals involved. He said that political implementation and demonstrative emotion is going to make the situation much worse. You have to have time to study the situation, and especially Gender dysphoria, which is so often accompanied by other factors (Depression, home life, learning disabilities etc.). In Sweden, widely known as the standard bearer for Gender Dysphoria treatment, Gender Change assignment, and any therapy relating to this subject, they would look at the rules you are planning as being abusive and harmful. Giving an individual with a serious psychological burden and who is also dealing with the huge difficulties of adolescence and peer pressure, the power of decisions that they are not able to understand or handle will potentially cripple them and greatly impair decision making. Potentially separating them from the help, insight, and guidance of their parents only adds to the danger. In simple terms, giving teenagers who are in trying circumstances the power over their situation without consideration for their immediate well being and their long term well being is dangerous. Taking away Constitutional and ethical rights of the parents to help their children, makes it worse. Now let's make it an imposition upon the student body and the staff and then you are cementing a difficult situation into a potentially dangerous situation. In any other situation, the staff of the school would never consider taking away power and information from parents and giving it to a teenager (Or younger) in any other context. Apply the same context to academics, disciplinary behavior, finances, or any other aspect of life. If a 13 year old child comes forward and says that they identify as an adult and that they are free to take tests when they want, use whatever bathroom they want, behave as they want, respect and disrespect whom they want, then instruct the staff that they are to not be disciplined and not allowed to report this to the students parents because the student is now the adult. Please take a step back and look at the situation again without the glasses of politics and passion. Take more time to study with the goal being to guide and educate the individual, whether they are a young person dealing with a difficult issue, or a classmate of someone dealing with the issue, or a parent, or a teacher.

This can be best accomplished by allowing each student to be as \"comfortable in their own skin\" as possible. When a student is able to reduce social stress (i.e. having a comfortable place to use the restroom, feeling that their name truly belongs to them, etc.) it opens the door for better focus and learning opportunities with fewer emotional and psychological distractors. The model policies put forth are a small task in exchange for even one student to be able to learn and engage more efficiently.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Moreover, there is also evidence that the reason why we live in this period of biological sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression is because of nurture not nature that is shaping the next generation of bright minds and this could have some long lasting consequences on those kids; by continuing swaying in this direction we are in danger of having lost generation. We are not advocating of the harassment of any children but for the schools to provide a safe environment for all students based on scientific evidence. Therefore, I recommend the VDOE to look at those evidence based scientific research and make a more inform decision about this bill.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I care deeply for my students. My role is to guide students to what is true and what is good. This policy is the antithesis of truth and goodness. Instead it serves to indulge an anti-scientific, sexist transgender ideology at the expense of our students. Our students are facing a mental health crisis because they feel they have no purpose. While it may seem these policies will help our youth, they instead reinforce a lie that cannot answer the questions that plague them. Students will be forced to use the restroom with others who do not match their sex. Female athletes will be forced to compete with physically stronger male athletes. Furthermore, students can easily exploit this policy putting teachers and administration at risk of harassment or discrimination. Does this sound like a functioning school environment? Finally, not only am I a teacher, I am also a Christian. To call a student by his or her preferred pronoun acknowledges a version of reality that goes against what I believe to be true. It is dehumanizing and a lie. When I become a teacher, I was not burdened by the standards put forth here. However, if you enact these policies, you will push Christian educators outside of the public sphere leading to an absence of diversity and “unity.”\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The result is likely to be  more emotional harm and fear to many more students, particularly \"straight\" female students, a significant degree of new chaos in the schools, and a decline in the quality and effectiveness of the educational process.  It will not provide \" a safe, nurturing environment for all.\" The guidelines proceed from the erroneous claim that \"gender\"is \"assigned\" at birth.  Gender is determined by the chromosomes a child has at conception or develops shortly thereafter, and is recognized at birth.  Gender is not a feeling one can change from week to week, as the guidelines seem to assume. The guidelines fail to recognize that transgenderism is a recognized pyschological disorder which research has shown that 75-90% of those experiencing it grow out of some time after puberty if they do not engage is heavy medication and/or surgery. Excessive accomodating and supporting transgenderism among young, vulnerable, confused, and emotionally sensitive  children amounts to child abuse. Failing to notify parents, or enable them to know, about these developments and actions concerning their potentially transgendering child may well violate FERPA (which I drafted). Not requiring any evidentiary substantiation of a student's transgender claim will lead to an abuse of the system and become a mockery. Requiring staff to accommodate to the potentially frequent(and perhaps bizarre)  name changes by students is unreasonalble.  Better to let them address students by their last names. There is no reasonable basis for requiring attire for all school related programs, etc. to be gender neutral.  It is not necessarily discriminatory, but practical or prudential, or even harmless \"traditional\" distinction. Straight students should also be protected agains harrassment or intimidaton by LGBTQEtc students. The guidelines should be rewritten by a more balanced set of draftors to b e more balanced and prudent and less ideological and doctrinaire.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Sex based dress code has been around a long time for a reason, and if you suddenly allow girls to start walking around without shirts, and to change in the men’s locker room, it would be terrible and lead to more rape, and I thought stopping rape was a big issue to the left, so why would you promote something that would just increase the number of rapes and assaults.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In fact, I believe in its current form, this guidance will do much more harm than good in regards to the wellbeing of both transgender and cisgender students. The goal of this policy is to create a safe and welcoming environment for transgender students to grow and learn in. However, the policy misses the mark on a number of critical issues. If there are students struggling with their gender identity, and the Virginia Department of Education truly cares about these students, why aren’t we investing time in having school counselors help these children figure out why they identify as transgender? Why doesn’t the VA Department of Education have school therapists counsel these young people as to how/why they feel they are not the gender that they were born as? Other questions might include: what are causing these thoughts? Are the students’ understanding about their gender being caused by influences other than their own observations and feelings? Childhood and puberty are confusing times, are we serving our children best if we don’t thoroughly investigate, question, and even challenge the reasons behind their gender identity struggles? Bullying and harassment are wrong, but there is a difference between setting up young people for success by helping them understand and make sense of their own challenges, issues, thoughts, and emotions as opposed to forcing the creation of an environment that makes them feel “safe”. Once a student graduates from high school, they may find themselves in completely different circumstances, somewhere much less supportive. If they are not comfortable with themselves and/or have not developed the skills necessary to be mindful of their emotional/mental duress then they will needlessly suffer when faced with trying times. And the environment that was created during their time in school, the one meant to help them avoid having to address these issues, will ultimately be the cause of their suffering. I believe the guidance outlined in these Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students should focus more on the counseling and development of life skills for these young transgender students than creating an environment that does not challenge them nor help them grow & come to peace with their gender identity. If there is a transgender student who wants to be called by a different name or referred to by different pronouns, then they should be comfortable explaining their wishes to their fellow students and teachers on an individual basis. A transgender student’s relationships with their peers and instructors should be determined at an individual level, and the type & quality of interactions should not be mandated by the VA Department of Education nor any other governing body. Again, this suggestion is not meant to condone bullying or harassment. However, if a student can be truly hurt by the use of a wrong name or pronouns, so much so that it causes them high levels of academic or emotional duress, wouldn’t they be best served by counseling and/or mentorship which would eventually help them feel comfortable discussing their thoughts, feelings, and personal preferences with those who challenge their views? Isn’t the purpose of our academic system to help students develop the skills they need in order to succeed in life once they graduate from high school and move on to university, trade, military, or career? How is creating an environment that lacks significant growth opportunities and forces others to agree with a student’s perceptions setting the aforementioned student up for success later in life? Another worrisome decision is the lack of inclusion of parents/guardians in the discovery of gender identity by transgender students. The underlying sentiment outlined in these Model Policies seem to be that in some cases the parents/guardians of transgender students may not support, or may openly condemn, transgenderism. This lack of support or condemnation can hurt the transgender student and cause negative consequences in their academic and personal life. This policy strikes me as short sighted. Parents and guardians are responsible for their child at the very least in a legal sense. If a transgender student is under 18 years old and something happens to them due to their being transgender, and the parents/guardians are not aware of their child’s gender identity, this would cause unnecessary complications. Another and more concerning item is that if parents/guardians have a lack of empathy or acceptance for their transgender child, isn’t that a real cause for alarm and perhaps an issue that may make the child’s gender identity struggles worse? A guardian’s lack of acceptance or creation of a negative atmosphere at home is something that should be dealt with, not ignored and avoided. Indeed a negative home life could gravely impact a transgender student who is struggling with their gender identity, so why does this policy propose to avoid parent/guardian involvement? These Model Policies should strive to educate and involve the parents/guardians of transgender students. If teachers, staff, and fellow students are to follow these Model Policies and in essence play an active role in supporting transgender students, then why aren’t the transgender student’s parents/guardians (people who have known them much longer and who are closely involved with their lives) not actively involved? That lack of inclusion makes no sense. It not only creates a great potential for legal issues, but also doesn’t truly help any struggling transgender youth. What could be more helpful to someone struggling with their gender identity than the support and love, or at least acceptance, of their parents/guardians? The other issue I find with these Model Policies is the seeming lack of empathy or thought for the rest of the student population. There are numerous studies cited within the Model Policies for the Tr... [truncated]\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I didn’t encounter the word transgender until I was in high school. This erasure of our existence does irreparable harm.

It's not right to discriminate against kids who are not trans. Look at any psychological studies and there are severe psychological consequences for what the schools are trying to do with children. The private life of a child/adult is none of the school's business and for the sake of SANITY, they should treat children biologically. There are criminal characters who will prey on this situation, and I see NO satisfactory prosecution language in the bill to discourage predatory practices that will inevitably arise from these situations.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a parent of two girls in the public school system, I am very concerned about these proposed model policies for two primary reasons: 1) they overlook the complexities of how children and adolescents might be experiencing life by supporting only one part of how that child expresses themselves and not seeking to support the whole child 2) they infringe on parental rights. The proposed policies put how a child under 18 might feel about themselves and their [gender] identity without acknowledging or wanting to affirm all of the other aspects that make the child unique and human. In a recent podcast, Brené Brown asked her guest for the best life advice they could give in a slogan – their response “Don’t believe everything you think or feel.”  Are these policies encouraging adults to jump to conclusions about questions children and adolescents may be having and feelings they are feeling by encouraging transgender expressions that might not be permanent? These proposed policies appear to disregard the stages of adolescent development in particular. The brain is still maturing and changing and how adolescents understand and think about gender identity is different than how adults do. (see: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/teen/Pages/Stages-of-Adolescence.aspx ) Children – adolescents especially – are often questioning their bodies, their looks, and their abilities. They are still learning who they are and how to navigate this world, but are bombarded with conflicting messages on TV and the media about gender stereotypes, sexual harassment and any other number of issues. All of these things should be discussed with children in the context of their feelings about gender or gender dysphoria. Could these policies push children into a box and move them along a continuum of hormone therapy or permanent physical changes when for some, they just might just be trying to express themselves outside cultural stereotypes or “follow the crowd”? I urge VA DOE to consider the unintended consequences the immediate and total affirmation of a child’s transgender expression may have on a child or adolescent who cannot yet fully comprehend these feelings like adults can , and who later might feel that they want to go back to expressing themselves as the gender they were previously. Could all of this affirmation (possibly without discussing with the child’s parents) be oversimplifying the bigger identity questions at hand? 2) The proposed policies would strip the rights of parents to care for their own children who are under the age of 18. As a parent, I expect the school to let me know when my child’s behavior is different, or they are sick or they are not performing as they used to, why would a school choose to hold this information from me as a parent, when any other information that concerns my child would be shared with me (health, behavior, grades, etc.). It is my responsibility as a parent to love my children and care for them in the ways I see best to support their development, education, health and welfare according to my family’s ideals. It is also my constitutional right. The proposed policies suggest that gender is subjective to each individual  person and can be therefore only be fully known by the individual and what they choose to communicate. There is nothing that suggests that we are a product of our nurturing as well as our nature – i.e. that the school should confer with a parent when a student expresses transgenderism to understand how things are going at the home. For minor children, schools should be working with parents to help children move through childhood and adolescence, rather than suggesting that teachers or administrators hide important information, such as this, from parents.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I wish that policies like these had existed when I was a student, because it would have made it more possible for me to feel safe and supported. It also would have made it more possible for many of my friends - some of whom did not come out as trans until well into their twenties, thirties, or even forties - to feel safe and supported. I am particularly hopeful for trans students of color and trans students with disabilities, who face compounded marginalization, stigma, and discrimination. I am especially encouraged by the model policy's careful attention to the emotional and psychological needs of transgender students around privacy (including from families), respectful identification, nondiscriminatory policies, and protection from bullying. Because so many transgender youth do not have supportive or affirming families, it's even more important for schools to protect their privacy, respect their chosen names and pronouns (if different from those given at birth), and create a welcoming environment. This policy is not perfect, but it is an important and valuable start to creating a more equitable environment in schools. I grew up in a deeply conservative Christian church where many people and leadership believed that it is sinful to assert an LGBTQ identity, including a transgender one. I understand that there are many people who live in Virginia who share the beliefs of people in my parents' church, and who therefore feel uncomfortable (at best) with the proposed policy's adoption. While I wish this were different, respectfully, I submit that their feelings do not matter when the lives, health, and safety of vulnerable students are at stake. This policy does not force students or parents who adhere to such belief systems to adopt new belief systems; it only requires school officials to foster an environment where no matter what someone's gender is, they will be treated respectfully, and hopefully, kindly. One need not \"agree\" with my gender for it to be real, nor for me to deserve to be treated respectfully. I can only hope that this model policy comes into full force and effect, so that trans students in Virginia might experience even at least a slight improvement in their school climate. They deserve no less.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

The terminology on page 6 should not be taught at the K-9 level.  At the very least the definitions for “gender identity” and “gender non-conforming” should state “sex determined at birth” NOT assigned.  The determination of the sex of the person is at genetic (DNA) and at the cellular level, as well as anatomical level.  The sex of the person is not a choice, but SCIENCE. The terminology is not based on or reference any source or legal documents.  The terms are inappropriately contrived. The proposed policy duplicates the principals and policies of Virginia Code, Title 22.1-279.6., school board policies which must include standards to discipline students and protect all students, including to prohibit discrimination, bias and harassment, bullying , intimidation, and many other social behaviors that can negatively affect transgender students. No student should be harassed, bullied or shunned, including children who have gender-identity dysphoria, questions or issues.  We must be compassionate and understanding of all people. The proposed policy wrongfully forces parents and students who do not agree with promoting and encouraging transgender behaviors to comply with pronoun use, bathroom/locker room/overnight room choices of a student or faculty proclaimed.  While page 17 states that this should be based on the “consistently asserted gender identity”, the policy discusses in the terminology on page 6 that gender identity that may, on page 6: “Gender expression may change over time and from day-to-day and is not necessarily related to the person’s gender identity.”  Also, on page 6, gender-fluid.” These definitions and elsewhere leaves open the consideration that students may change their decisions about their identity from day to day and not be questioned about that decision. Students at this age require parental supervision, and the school has no place to allow any student to use any facility without question, as stated on page 17.  This policy opens the door for singling out and punishing or abusing the childhood innocents, values, and morals, violating their privacy, causing potential embarrassment, and disrespect, which is due to those non-transgender students. If a student, under the uncertainty of the seemingly endless and “fluid” variations of gender-identity, or is confused about fluid transgender demands, they may face punitive action, without faculty notifying parents (page 17).  This is unacceptable.  This section should be changed to insist on notifying the parents, while appropriately respecting the privacy of all students.  The DOE in their model has seemingly forgotten that all children and parents have needs, rights, and respect due of their beliefs, norms, morals, and civil and Constitutional rights. The DOE has fully neglected to have fair and equal representation among the drafters of this model policy, including conservative transgender and non-transgender faculty, parents, teachers, staff, institutions (e.g. Virginia Catholic Conference), and other faith community (array of religions). Has the DOE forgotten that there is a protection of religious freedom in the Constitution? The policy violates parents’ right raise their child under threat of school faculty pursuing the removal from the home and parents through Child Protective Services, a child who is exploring their sexuality and transgender behaviors, if the parents disagree with the behavior or try to otherwise influence or discuss their opinion with their child. This policy should at least not undermine the beliefs and rights of parents to determine how to raise their children.  It should be written in a balanced approach that respects the beliefs and rights of the majority as well as those who have gender dysphoria or transgender behavior. The policy wrongfully requires school faculty to hide a child's transgender and sexual exploration from parents they or the child deem will not be fully accepting.  The policy wrongfully prohibits parents from explaining to their child their views or their religious understanding of our human status, for example, that a person’s sex is determined, not “assigned” at the cellular and DNA level as male or female and beliefs about the unity of body and soul, or risk involvement by Child Protective Services and possibly removal of the child from the home. Nowhere does the policy address the viewpoint of transgender behavior being potentially an experimental, defiant behavior, and the possibility that it is not well formed but inappropriately influenced by other students, faculty, or contacts.  To reduce a parent’s role to simply accepting the decision of the faculty and a child, under threat of removal, is nothing short of a totalitarian, authoritarian control. The policy requires schools to punish for harassment students who fail to use preferred transgender pronouns (e.g. hirs, zem, they) that are not formally set or accepted in the English language. The policy should emphasize the use of proper names instead of pronouns.  Pronouns in a scholastic environment are male, female and neuter.  The complication of endless, unofficial, whimsically determined pronouns is improper, just as incorrect use of grammar is improper. Mandating unaccepted pronouns adds stress to students/children and undermines the innocents and moral upbringing of a vast majority of children. Prohibiting any gender-specific school events and attire is wrong and hypocritical, given the huge modifications and changes being directed by this policy document to accommodate the transgender community.  There are many employers, academia, and other institutions that allow and encourage ubiquitous transgender events and fora: clubs, workshops, bathroom facilities, c...

I finished high school nearly a half-century ago, but my most vivid memories are of times when I had intense feelings: winning an award, a teacher's private and sincere compliment on my writing, classmates teasing me about my skinny legs or laughing at my failed attempts to climb the rope in gym class. The good feelings make you float on air and want to work harder; the horrible feelings blot out everything and turn your day black. These guidelines will help children have those good feelings, and minimize the horrible ones.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Children are being taken under the control of the school system in a fashion that excludes and possibly punishes parents.  This a violation of the family's religious freedom to teach and instill moral values in accordance with their religious faith.  This is offensive AND unconstitutional.

They will not really benefit the transgender students in any way, and are based on promoting deception of one kind or another. It is encouraging students of all ages, from the very young to the often tumultuous teenage years, to question the truth of the biological sex that they were born with and to possibly make life altering and harmful decisions based almost entirely on \"feelings\" alone long before they are mature enough to understand the consequences of such decisions.  The teaching and promoting of this ideology based on the definition of gender identity, (Definitions, P.6) will not help to reduce the confusion that some students have with their own feelings.  It will however, add confusion to the majority of students who accept that they are the biological sex/gender that they were born with and would never have even thought of questioning it. Studies show that a large percentage of children suffering from gender dysphoria have the feelings alleviated when they go through puberty.  Stop focusing on gender so much and start affirming the qualities of the individual as a human being. As well the proposed policies promote the idea of secrecy from their parents which is another form of deception which is also infringing on parents' rights.  It assumes that the school officials know what is better for the child than that child's own parents and encourages the child to trust them more than their own parents. This is harmful to the unity of the family. The parents have the right to know if their school age child is involved in a behavior that may be harmful to their child or goes against the religious or moral convictions that they are teaching them. There are many cases with children, that if their parents had known in time what they were really doing they could have addressed it and helped steer them away from far worse consequences than \"parental disapproval\". The premise that gender identity is based on the innate sense of the person, regardless of the biological truth (male and female chromosomes and reproductive organs), and that it does not require proof of any kind and can change after any duration of time (Recommended Standards, P 12), means that basically the entire school staff, student body and parents have to adjust the entire way that classrooms are run based on the personal feelings of a very small minority. Not to belittle their emotions, which are a very real source of concern to some of them, but no other people group has required the entire surrounding population to change the grammar of the language that they use (referring to pronouns) to avoid offending them. While the common use of good manners, kindness and respect toward others should be observed by all no matter what race, gender or religious belief or the lack thereof, expecting teachers and other students to begin to learn and memorize a  possibly endless and constantly changing list of new pronouns, which can apparently be made up at will and on a daily basis by the transgender students, and try to remember who gets called what each day is not only impractical, it is pretty much impossible. Teachers will be in danger of losing their jobs if they do not refer to a student by the chosen pronouns, causing some to have to go against their conscience and lie when they call what they know to be a \"he\", a \"she\" or else face serious consequences.  This is discrimination against their religious convictions and a form of harassing.  Students of both sexes are in danger of having no privacy from having the opposite sex in restrooms or locker rooms with them.  All of this is caused by the \"innate sense\", i.e. feelings, of a student, that cannot be proven and which are not required to have any substantiating evidence, and which they can then claim to change at any time, no questions asked.  And based on the definition of \"gender identity,\" how can anyone really know that a biological teenage boy, for example, is actually truly identifying as a girl and is not just claiming to be so that they can get a peek in the girls' locker room?  Having gone through public school P.E. class and having had to strip down, shower and dress just with other girls, I can say it was extremely difficult being that exposed even to people of the same sex, especially during the time of puberty, and I dreaded it every day.  I cannot imagine what the students under these policies would feel having to be in those conditions along with the opposite sex.  Is all of this really what public school is to be about? It seems to be creating a very self-centered society that is overly sensitive and offended by everything.  How about using the hard earned money of the taxpayers who support the school system to actually teach academics such as reading, writing and arithmetic, along with true history, science, (remember biology in which, for thousands of years, people were born male or female?) and the Bible, which used to be taught, and which contains a wealth of wisdom which is sadly lacking in the educational system, as well as good character traits like honesty, integrity, honoring parents, hard work and excellence? I say no to this proposed policy and very strongly oppose it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

By instructing all school staff to take a student's gender identity at face value without any kind of supporting documentation, these guidelines minimize the possibility of exploring underlying psychological factors that may be contributing to a student's experience of gender dysphoria, and further, invite schools to keep this information from a student's parents. These guidelines also would compel speech from school staff who have good-faith concerns and reservations about a student's social and/or medical transition. This document pits teachers against students, and silences concerned voices, rather than encouraging a healthy and pluralistic school dialogue about what is best for students. I would ask our legislators to please think further about this topic, and as one example, examine this testimony from de-transitioner Keira Bell, whose witness led the United Kingdom to ban hormone treatments for minors: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7926675/Witness-court-battle-against-gender-clinic-reveals-happened-cry-help.html\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Our schools should not be assigning gender designations. One of those subjects is Biology which teaches that we have 23 pairs of chromosomes that are identical except for the 23rd which distinguishes between male from female.  The female has 2 X chromosomes and the male has an X and Y.  If there is some variance of this normal biology, then the parents need to consult a medical specialist in that area, i.e., chromosome irregularities. Too much time is spent in our schools on student social issues and not enough time on standard classroom education and discipline. Our schools should be teaching our children to advance their knowledge and abilities in things like math, science and technology because the US is ranked lower than other countries in the world and needs to improve. In addition, school budgets are always tight and the funding provided (in Fairfax County - $3B) to educate our children should be used for that, not on material that should be addressed by parents and family. Schools should provide parents with names and contact information for professionals who can address this issue with them. Schools should always provide a safe environment for all students no matter what gender, nationality, race, etc., they may be.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is an invasion of privacy.  And what about girls who have been sexually abused?  Even the thought of being invaded by boys in the bathroom would trigger flashbacks/ severe anxiety/ complete avoidance of the bathroom ALL DAY!  What about the rights of 99.9% of the population to feel safe and comfortable?!! Based on these guidelines, there’s no way to determine whether someone is genuinely experiencing gender dysphoria or just exploiting the situation “for fun” or to prey on young girls and young women..... or to get a teacher whom they don’t like fired (for not using their “preferred pronouns”).  There’s nothing measurable/ verifiable in the guidelines.  A biological male can simply say they feel like a girl.  That’s all they need to say to compel others’ speech.... and invade girls’ changing rooms.... and play girls’ basketball?!!! The whole idea that “gender identity” is different from biological sex (determined by chromosomes and anatomy) is a pseudoscientific bogus THEORY.  This is absolutely NOT PROVEN. The vast majority of children/ teens who struggle with gender confusion come to accept/ be comfortable with their bodies.  This is something that can be worked through with parents, children, counselors, spiritual advisors.  This is not something for the school to deal with with the student APART from the parent!  Encouraging gender confusion at school and keeping this secret from the parents is absolutely WRONG and just invites lawsuits! Enforcing these guidelines would result in CHAOS and CONFUSION.  Stick to teaching MATH, READING, SCIENCE!  Taxpayers do not give you permission to indoctrinate children with the latest fad ideologies and perform social experiments on their children!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These proposed changes are extremely short-sighted and very harmful for children, and the authors of this bill have not thought through the implications.  In particular, the proposition of boys or young men being in the presence of undressed women will cause rape and other sexual violations.  How are faculty and students able to remember \"preferred pronouns for many different student, which may change from day to day?  These policies also violate the U.S. Constitution, in that there are no exceptions for students, parents or teachers whose religious faith prevents them from conforming to transgender ideology and policies.

OPPOSED!\nBody:\nI am here to ask you to NOT add the sexuality-related language, particularly \"gender identity,\" to the Equal Opportunity policy.  I ask that you not include transgender boys in my daughter's locker room. OR transgender girls in my son's locker room. I am against this because I feel like you are taking my children’s innocence away.  I cannot support biological males being in my daughter’s bathroom or locker room nor can I support girls in my son’s bathroom or locker room.   It will damage more children than it saves. It creates tremendous confusion and I blame liberals for this.  All of a sudden you have power and you are going way overboard! Aside from the kids that may have an issue, what about the kids that don’t?  Do they have to suffer with a different gender invading their privacy? Will it be a male teacher in my son’s locker room monitoring the transgender girl getting changed or the Female teacher monitoring a boy in the girl’s room? In this environment we live in today, how could you possibly think this is okay? I want you to think about your own kids and how you grew up.  Did you have the opposite gender in your bathrooms?  Why do this now? I think this is absolutely absurd and should not even be a discussion.  I am sure if you go into bathrooms anywhere, you are appalled when someone from the opposite gender walks in.  I do!  and several people that voted on this in the past have regretted their votes.  I can remember one encountering a man in the same bathroom with her 6 year old daughter!  She couldn't believe she voted in favor of this.  I guess unless it happens to you directly, you don't care??? Go ahead, destroy our kids even more with this garbage.  They have been out of school for almost a year and then you throw this crap at them.  It will only backfire in your face! My children won't be taking gym class then.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I am not discriminating against anybody that wants to change who they were born, but my daughter should not have to worry about seeing a penis when she is in the bathroom having to deal with her own issues. God gave us different body parts and this is how we need to identify which bathroom a child uses. Also if a child identifies as something else then that is up to the parent and the child to let the teacher know. Yes the child might not feel comfortable telling the parent but that gives no right for the state to take them away from the parent. I am sickened that the teacher would get into trouble with not using the correct term. But if a child identifies as one or the other then they need to understand that most individuals do not know these terms or how to use them or can remember to use them. I will be taking my daughter out of public school if this passes and cannot imagine what doors you are opening up if this passes. I see rape, i see children having sex more in the bathrooms I also see teachers getting blamed for something that they might not be comfortable in doing or saying\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Women and men have equal rights.  Women are physically different than biological men.  In order to maintain equitable opportunities in sports, they must be limited to a single biological sex. Biological females/males should have the right to change and use the bathroom in a single biological sex space as sharing a space with the opposite biological sex would promote a intimidating environment. Childhood and adolescence can be a confusing time. While some children experience gender dysphoria, even the World Professional Association for Transgender Health reports that this feeling does not inevitably continue into adulthood. Children should receive accurate information about human biology and reproduction. Educational policies can support all students without promoting and reinforcing this feeling of anxiety, uncertainty and discomfort with ones' own biological sex.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Not only is it not safe for cis-gender students, but for non-binary students as well. Cis-gender students may feel uncomfortable in the bathroom or locker room when a member of the opposite biological sex enters. Cis-gender students may not know without doubt that the other student identifies truly as non-binary. Students who identify as non-binary are at risk of being accused of falsifying their identities to gain entrance to bathrooms and locker rooms of the opposite biological sex. Students who identify as non-binary risk bodily harm when entering bathrooms and locker rooms of the opposite biological sex. I believe that non-binary individuals should be loved, supported, and accepted in our community, but not by adding risk to themselves as well as cis-gender individuals. There must be another way to practice inclusivity for the non-binary population without excluding cis-gender individuals.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is ok if they want to share bathrooms and bedrooms at home, but in a public area there should be strictly separate areas.  For those children in middle and high school, their bodies are developing and children are adjusting to those changes.  For some girls, changing in front of another girl is very embarrassing, but to have to change in front of a boy who thinks for the moment he is a girl could be very traumatic!  And does that boy really think he is a girl or is he just saying so so that he can go into the girls room/locker room to see girls in all stages of undressed.  Think!!!  Would you want your teen aged daughter to share a locker room with a boy!  I think not!  Use your heads to change this back to separate girl/boy/family rest rooms and locker rooms.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy lacks any provision for counselling youth (nor their parents) who choose not to walk out a life of gender confusion.  It provides safety for transgender students at the expense of the safety, security, privacy and wellbeing of female students who are an equally vulnerable population (p.8 P14, p.17 Access to Facilities P1).  This policy negates and strips parents of their influence in the shaping and nurturing of their children while mandating that this shaping take place in a public, governmental controlled environment (p.13 P1 abuse, neglect).  It is already mandatory that abuse be reported by staff, but to be compelled to report parents because of their \"lack of support at home\" (p.13) is a very grey area and cause for alarm.  This policy violates the premise that textbook learning is based upon factual physical, biological and social science (p.6 Terminology-Sex Assignment- presumed to be male at birth).  To perpetuate what is known to be false information (p.12, p.6 Terminology) and to indoctrinate children into a preferred ideology (p.8 Guiding Principles-Cisgender binary) is hypocrisy at its best.  This policy is proposed as a means of providing a safe learning environment for transgender students, but its sole purpose is to mandate an ideology for those students deemed to be in need of a transformation of their thinking.  Transgender students need our support and love in the form of counselling and therapy to bring them to a better and more satisfying place not a policy which enables their confused behavior.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These kids aren’t an abstraction. They are in my classes, as funny and brilliant and bright as all their peers. But the sheer nerve and bravery it takes for them to get up each day and proclaim their identity floors me. They know the world hasn’t made room for them yet, but they are sure that it will. And how lucky are they to love in Virginia, now, when we’ve finally opened up more room in our hearts?

A key principle in psychological practice is that to encourage, endorse, or deepen an individual's psychological disorder is deeply unethical.  Thus, the Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students are unethical in that they encourage gender dysphoria rather than promoting support and healing for its victims. Moreover, the Model Policies defy basic biological science.  In psychology, the inability to acknowledge reality is defined as a \"psychosis,\" making the Model Policies fit the definition of \"psychotic\" (or the writer(s) is psychotic).  No one who denies science has any business doing anything related to the education of children.  The Model Policies should be rejected immediately and those involved in their development released from any education related employment. The elimination of gender based practices such as single sex sports teams and father daughter dances denies our basic human design.  Indoctrinating children into such unscientific madness could be considered child abuse given the deep harm it can cause. The Model policies should be wholly rejected save for the principle that students suffering from gender dysphoria should be treated with compassion and not bullied.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They will not be returning to a government school if this policy is implemented.  Further, I demand my tax dollars are returned to me to educate my children in an institution that understands science.  the Virginia government apparently does not.  Let me explain. Science indicates by study of DNA and in particular, the chromosomes that are made up by it.  There are two, XX and XY.  The clothes some wear nor genital mutilation constitute a change to the chromosomes.  Therefore, \"transgender\" individuals do not exist in the human population.  I understand that this situation may exist in some reptiles and/or amphibians.  However, I know of no mammals, including humans where this has been observed or verified. So in summary, my child will never attend a government institution where XX and XY individuals are allowed to comingle in compromising situations such as bathrooms or locker rooms. Moreover, if this legislation is enacted I will make it my mission in life to organize similarly concerned parents to demand an educational voucher program be implemented in Virginia.  Further, I will contribute to the any candidate that opposes an incumbent taht supports this FAKE SCIENCE. Best Regards, Bulldog\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This legislation takes that God given duty and responsibility away by restricting the rights of the parents and failing to keep them informed. Boys should not be using girls' restrooms and vice versa.  Abuse of this will occur; it's not if, but when. Education is about educating our children, not indoctrinating them or using them as guinea pigs in a novel experiment, all while labeling this with politically correct vocabulary such as equity or social justice. This is unconstitutional!  God created man and woman and when students cannot articulate that without fear of repercussions, than both the parent's and their rights of freedom of religion have been stripped! This cannot stand!  Please do not pass this legislative abomination!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Sex and gender are complicated and not as straight forward as we tend to make them. Both are crucial to the development of one’s identity. We must support students who do not fit what has too long been consider the “traditional” identity mold. The world has changed and we must update policies to reflect those changes. Students spend majority of their days at school and we must create spaces in which they are safe, comfortable, and accepted. By continuing to force students to use their “sex assigned” bathrooms, locker rooms, sports, dress code, etc. we are inherently teaching them we do not value who they truly are as individuals and perpetuating outdated ways of discrimination through a series of falsehoods, misinformation, and stereotypes as excuses to not put forth these needed policies. This can only lead to continued harm to identity creation, social-emotional development, and unjust treatment I support the practices and updates outlined in the VDOE document and look forward to the progress we can make together for the future of our transgendered students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The school is acting like a parent. Many Christians do not agree with the agenda proposed. It is their right under the constitution to practice their faith and for their children in said Faith. furthermore, we as Americans have the right to disagree with the lgbt movement, which is not done out of hate but in love and Faith for neighbors, God, family and country.  This country was meant to be God fearing, it should remain so. Such actions are sadly out of line with Godly ideals and the reason this country was founded. Lgbt stuff is not for schools...it’s very controversial and should not be brought into schools. Again, what right does a school have to impose their morals on the children and families it serves, that sounds more like a dictatorship. I would never advocate being mean or ill treating any lgbt person, but can not support this action. I pray that it is not put into practice. Certainly it will not please God and He sees all...\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Parents are the primary protectors and educators of their children, not the school system, so they should not be misinformed or uninformed about what is happening with or around their children. The only exceptions to this are in cases of actual child abuse/neglect, which is a separate and urgent matter to attend to. What is protective to one is harmful to the other and vice versa. This document requires all children and their families to essentially be lumped into one category, again leading to both unhelpful and potentially dangerous results. Additionally, careful attention needs to be paid to conducting and adhering to actual research regarding transgender identifying youths. There are balanced ways we can support every child working through their own identity, etc without moving so forcefully in the direction of special interests groups that push an agenda that often is unaware of, undermines, or ignores the nuances of child development. Strongly oppose this document - we can do better for our children, their families, our schools, and community.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The school system does NOT have the authority to \"parent\" my children.  A school system is simply in place to help my children learn basics in life to allow them to provide living in the future.  Stop trying to gain more control over our children when you dont have the right to do so. On another note, if you think for one second I will allow my children to be exposed to the opposite gender in a locker room or bathroom then you are sadly mistaken.  I WILL 100% sell everything I have to put my child in a CHRISTIAN PRIVATE school rather than to keep them in a public school that is failing society. Transgender individuals need help for an issue they have with themselves.  The entire world does not and should not be asked to conform to something that is immoral.  Those who need help should get help.  I'm blown away at the idiocy of even thinking this is logical.  Dont you understand that making a few feel \"comfortable\" will make millions uncomfortable?  Do you want to see the rate of teen pregnancy increase?  Do you want to see the rate of mental illness increase? By passing this you will increase the rate of both.  You WILL lose MANY children to the public school system and you WILL have many who lose their jobs.  This is a snowball to the end of public schools.  I promise I will be the first to withdraw my children and watch it fall.  Good luck.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Very much in support\nBody:\nWhen I was a student of Virginia public schools, I served on the student advisory group to the superintendent and represented my school at many events including a panel about dress code. This was back in the early 20teens. Then and now it was a topic of conversation and importance to address rules regarding dress code, preferred pronouns and preferred names. I'm glad it is finally happening. School is supposed to be a safe space. It is supposed to be a place to learn not only facts and critical thinking, but social skills and compassion. How are we teaching compassion if we can't work to eliminate descrimination in our rules and set an expectation that our educators model acceptance?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

All children deserve a safe and affirming environment to learn. Creating a truly inclusive school environment will help children become socially conscious & aware adults. I remember in high school we had a transgender young lady in my gym class. She was beautiful, she was funny, and she was such a good hearted person. I remember being so appalled when I found out she was not allowed to dress in the girl’s locker room with us. She had to get dressed in the boys bathroom down the hall because the boys would beat her up if she went into the boy’s locker room. I remember thinking back then, as a kid....”She’s clearly one of us, there is no reason she shouldn’t be in here with us. We’d accept her.” Our society has this all wrong and it needs to change. Our children need to be protected for the person they truly are. And this is the first step in how we can undo the obsolete prejudices that plagues our society. It’s time for change.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

My concern is misuse with intent to harm. As a former high school nurse, I have seen and dealt with the problems that this causes by both “sides” of this very hot issue. There needs to be one or several separate gender neutral bathrooms for these students that identify as a different gender than what they are physically born as. It is not fair to those who identify as “straight” to be made uncomfortable by transgender students and vice versa.  Quite a few of my former transgender students expressed the desire to have a separate bathroom and locker room for their use. I suggest everyone involved in this process to tread lightly and to look at all pros and cons. And to keep in mind that there are still very many conservative areas/localities in the state of Virginia.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Transgender students already have enough protection from bullying and harassment via the Anti-Bullying structures and systems in the school. It is beyond the realm of ridiculousness to think that teaching the FALSE indoctrination of multiple genders outside of XY and XX makes any logical or good sense. It is rather promoting confusion and abusing the naïveté and pliability of impressionable school-age children. I understand that is exactly your intention...to exploit the naïveté of these children with a false notion of gender fluidity. It’s anti-science and it’s anti-humankind, not to  mention anti-God. Enough already. Let parents teach their kids as they will on social issues at home, at Girl Scout meetings, wherever...but keep your inane, insane and unnatural ideas out of the educational system. Male and female. That’s it. No more. No less. Protect all the students. Advocate for all students equally. You cannot give special treatment to one student to the detriment of all the others. Think about it. You cannot elevate one theory or social agenda to the ousting or canceling of another point of view.  Why should a biological male be undressing in a girls’ bathroom?  Why should boys give space to a biological male who identifies as female in their locker room? What about the rights of ALL the other students in the room?  Stop pushing this agenda. It’s dangerous and fringe thinking and is not appropriate in the public school system. Period.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This proposal is egregiously one sided. Fortunately in the United States we live under the freedom of expression-available to every citizen. This proposal is giving too much power an control to one social group.  By requiring enforcement of these ideals in our school system, it is completely alienating the rights of the non transgender  population. If every person is equal, then every person should be given equal say.  Is the general public able to vote on such proposals? How is opportunity being provided to balance different viewpoints? A school could easily provide special accommodation for students with transgender identification issues.  As a parent I have grave concerns about the opportunity for a young man to be able to enter a female locker room or bathroom, and vice versa. Some questions are not addressed.  For instance, if a school does not participate, does this limit them from receiving government support? We must be cautious that such proposals do not become based in agenda: they must be representative of the entire population. This could force teachers and educational staff members at all levels to make drastic decisions based on ethical and moral values that could end professions for which they have been trained.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is essential that children and youth be able to learn without suffering discrimination or harassment. A national survey by GLSEN has found that 75% of transgender youth feel unsafe at school, and those who are able to persevere had significantly lower GPAs, were more likely to miss school out of concern for their safety, and were less likely to plan on continuing their education. According to the Trevor Project LGBTQ youth are FIVE times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual cisgender peers. I spent many years working with the Virginia Anti-Violence Project and heard from diverse community members about their lived experiences as transgender youth in Virginia. I saw the need for Virginia schools to have model policies to protect LGBTQ youth as many of the youth experienced bullying/harassment/ and discrimination. These policies will promote the critical goal of keeping students safe to the best of our abilities. Schools have a moral and legal obligation to protect their students from this kind of harassment at school. These policies are necessary. The 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.

My school is very inclusive but most of my colleagues do not have any experience with transgender youth. I know they would want to do everything right for them, but it is a learning process and teachers will need to know how to support them.

While I am for letting people live the way they wish to, for people having difference of opinions, and for people of different beliefs and perspectives, this bill does the opposite. By the government mandating a penalty for expressing ones beliefs or demonstrating freedom of speech, it’s in essence is at odds with it’s purported intention of inclusiveness. Make no mistake, there is a strong case to be made that this clearly violates the First Amendment, and lawsuits will come. This bill pushes far beyond the envelope of the role of the school, totally blowing up the lines between parental rights and the role of educators. Perhaps, the Democratic lawmakers pushing this bill, alienating the majority of constituents will pay the price come re-election.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No one is going to move to a state with a school system that tries to over ride parental rights. What happens to Biological Male and Biological Female rights? They just get thrown under the school bus? and exchanged for the opposite biological human to be exposed, in front of biological called children,  in the locker room (and vice versa)! Of course, VDOE is just following what the irrational, ignorant politicians in our General Assembly told them to do.  No one is doing a reality check and thinking of consequences of the rights of BIOLOGICAL male and female rights and PARENT rights.

Parents are the primary educators of their children not public schools. Schools do not have the right to keep any information from parents regarding their children. Somewhere along the way public schools stopped promoting discipline, education, and the support of their teachers and began to promote a victim mentality, excuses, and caving to demands. The sheer amount of students moving to a homeschool/private school atmosphere should be an indicator to public schools that they are broken. If public schools continue bending to wayward progressive agendas, taking away the rights of parents, and subscribing blindly to the victim mentality, they are actively contributing to the decay of our society. Public schools are not helping younger generations, they are betraying the blind trust of young minds.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is disgusting that the school/teachers are becoming responsible for the duties of parents. The foundations of families are crumbling due to many failures but schools are handed another assignment--sexual identity. Society needs to focus on families, not \"who/what do you feel like today?\" In my opinion, school is for ACADEMICS. Sexual identity and transgender issues should be discussed and handled by parents, families, and medical personnel, not school personnel.  I do not want issues like this discussed with children. Let the parents handle this.  If a child/teen is \"confused\", the doors to the guidance should be open for assistance. I am offended and appalled that this topic is even being considered. Please, please do not let transgender or sexual identity issues be allowed into the school curriculum--at any age.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As such, they need to respect natural law and natural science. Controversial social initiatives are guaranteed to serve as significant distracting elements within the educational framework. Our public schools are are inappropriate forum for conducting social experiments. The details of the purpose guidelines violate the responsibilities and rights of parents on many levels. Although it is important for public officials to protect children, it is absolutely a violation of public trust for public officials to have secret and privileged interactions with a minor which may be in direct contrast to the parents rights and responsibilities. The spectrum of abuse by public officials that such guidelines would open up is vast in reach and scope, and truly chilling. There is no legitimate moral or legal foundation for the privileges that the proposed guidelines grant to the public school officials vis-a-vis the students parents. The proposed guidelines contain insufficient safeguards against immature or malicious abuse of the proposed privileges to be granted to minors who wish to identify as transgendered or other-gendered. There is no objective science that supports these proposals, and the preponderance of human experience over the millenia contradict the recent support offered by subjective academic disciplines. This issue is one that needs to be worked out in the public sphere over time (generations) and is inappropriate for imposition with the force of law in our public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

EQUITABLE. The American Academy of Pediatrics has stated that \"Transgender and gender-diverse children face many challenges in life, but, like all children, they can grow into happy and healthy adults when supported and loved throughout their development.\"  Furthermore, making civil rights accommodations for transgender students is a life or death issue. \"While the data is limited, population-based surveys estimate that 0.7 percent of teens ages 13 to 17 identify as transgender, according to the report. In this rapidly evolving clinical field, physicians play a role by offering a safe and inclusive place for transgender and gender-diverse youth, who have high rates of depression, anxiety, eating disorders , substance use , self-harm and suicide .  Children who are supported by their parents and family are more likely to experience better physical and mental health, according to the AAP. In one study, 56 percent of youth who identified as transgender reported thinking about suicide at some point, and 31 percent reported a previous suicide attempt. That compares, respectively, to 20 percent and 11 percent of youth who identify as cisgender, a term to describe a person who identifies a gender consistent with the sex they were assigned at birth.\" It is essential for our schools to be a safe haven for transgender students, many of whom lack support at home. While some parents may speak out against this non-discrimination policy, it is critical for the Virginia Department of Education to stand firm with the facts, the science, and the ethical mandate. Education is not a democracy. Best practices are not a democracy. The vision of VDOE is to maximize the potential of all learners, this requires protecting ALL learners from discrimination.  Trans minors should be afforded every protection from the adults in their communities who may not otherwise understand or support them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is biology and genetics. Transgender is a psychological disorder called gender dysphoria. Doctors can make you look male or female but that is just appearance and your biology doesn't change.  How a person feels doesn't alter reality.  No one should be bullied.  People fear speaking up because they fear the backlash.  This is educational indoctrination.  Schools should just stick to educating the students in subjects like math, science, English, history, and government etc.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If there is a transgender population of students, specific accommodations can be made for them, without affecting all students. For example, arrangements could be made for them to use certain bathrooms that are comfortable for them to use. They should not be allowed to enter a restroom with people of the opposite gender due to the embarrassment and discomfort that it could cause all parties. There are times where sensitive material, such as Family Life Education, is taught to elementary aged children where they have to be separated by gender to help them feel more comfortable when learning about their bodies, as well as, the opposite gender's. We must think about ALL children and not just focus on the transgender population. This is going to cause many families, many I have already heard from, to pull their children out of our public schools which will take money away from our education system and that is unfair to all. I strongly oppose this. This will cause more problems in our schools and students than it will help. You must think about ALL students and not ONLY a certain group. That way of thinking is completely unfair!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

I teach in VA public schools, and I never once saw a person get bullied because of these matters.  Can you not acknowledge that those of different opinions than yours can still treat students with respect? I would like to ask, if I were 50 years old, but I felt like I was in a 65 year old body, should I be entitled to social security benefits just because of \"how I feel?\" Can a 14 year old identify as a 21 year old and buy a bottle of bourbon? I'm sorry to offend some, but there is a reality outside the realm of feelings.  There is a truth that is not altered by the way one feels.  With the rare exception of people with an unusual number of sex chromosomes or faulty expression of genes, transgenderism for the vast majority is a psychological condition that needs to be treated.  Keeping the students condition private and not informing parents is neglect and should be unlawful.  Promoting minors to explore gender which often ultimately leads to the use of puberty blockers, cross-hormones and/or surgery is child abuse ...especially when the results of such therapy lead to permanent infertility and a myriad of known and unknown health effects.  Do you seriously think students are old enough to make decisions that permanently effect their body and mind, and scar oneself emotionally? These students (again, not those with chromosomal abnormalities) need help to accept reality, not encouragement to self-mutilate, and to make others uncomfortable in dressing rooms, and cheat genetic female athletes out of awards, etc... STOP THE ABUSE!  These are not matters to be addressed by a school guidance counselor behind a parent's back. Finally, as a teacher, I chose my career to profess the truth ( profess ion, profess or).  I don't teach 2+2=5 just because Johnny feels that it is so!  Now I am expected to encourage a student to be someone who he or she is not, and forced to call one a boy when he is a girl (and vice-versa) and address a student by his or her \"preferred pronoun\" under penalty of dismissal.    I intend to teach truth and reality, even if it is perceived as disrespectful.  I prefer to care for my students, not lead them into harm. If you are upset about these matters, get involved!  Take a risk and don't worry about people who promote child abuse calling you a bigot!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As the parent of a trans person, it is heartbreaking to watch your child deal with the extra weight and negativity they must wade through, on top of the normal confusion and hurt one can experience being a child/ teen. All because of misinformation and sheer unwillingness to better educate yourselves and your own children. Being trans/ LGBTQ+ isn’t something that should carry the negative assumptions many people place on that title. After all, it’s a title. These children/ teens are still just children and teens, who are going through the same you went through as a kid, and that your kids and grandkids are going through now, only magnified. Any resources to make school more accessible and safer for our students are appreciated, but action is needed to ensure that ALL students have a safe, constructive, and nurturing environment on the classroom. We have to do more to deconstruct the institutional barriers we have long propped up against the LGBTQIA+ community.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

By looking at the job titles or positions, it is clear that the majority of the people who created this document are not in direct contact with students on a daily basis or even in the school environment.  I’m a counselor in VA public schools and I have the opportunity to see how many parts of a school are operated.  My opposition to this policy is simply a reality check on how this will cause more trouble in the schools than the writers of this document probably even acknowledged. My biggest concern is confidentiality.  The only time I break confidentiality is when a student wants to hurt themselves, hurt someone else, or they are being hurt.  What I could see happening is a student struggling with their gender identity and that being the reason that they are suicidal.  I’m required to inform the parents that their child is suicidal.  However, this policy would prevent me from informing the parents of any part of their child’s mental state if the child does not wish me to tell their parents of their gender identity struggle.  Am I not supposed to help this child?  Am I not supposed to get them the help that they so desperately need?  Any mental health professional knows how important it is to have all the information when trying to treat mental illness.  It’s the same in the medical profession, when you leave out crucial medical information, it can be detrimental to that person’s health.  Side note: schools are not equipped to handle counseling to this degree.  We do not have licensed Psychiatrists’ on our payrolls.  Also, this document notes that schools should work to follow up with the families and essentially perform counseling between student and parent.  We also don’t have licensed family therapists employed in our schools. Overnight trips.  The way that this reads to me, is that biological males and biological females could potentially be allowed to sleep in the same room.  Reality Check: Does this committee honestly believe that students wouldn’t take advantage of this to have alone time with their significant other? Bullying/Harassment Policy.  Our school has one in place.  Each year we teach all of the students about bullying and what it is, but also what it isn’t.  There’s a great deal of confusion sometimes between conflict and bullying.  I have never had a student report being bullied for their sexual orientation or gender identity, but I have had plenty of students in my office upset over another student sending or showing private photos.  I would bet instances of this would only increase by allowing the boys who falsely claim to identify as girls into the girl’s restroom and locker room. Maybe reflect on how you were in middle school/high school and if you had the opportunity to get into the girls’ locker room, would you have taken it? It’s stated that “All students…so that they can comfortably and fully engage in their school program and activities.”  I believe the key word is ALL and this includes the cisgender students as well but they seem to be completely forgotten in this document.  What about their comfort level? Reality Check:  I can name all of the boys in my school that would take advantage of this policy to be able to venture into the girl’s restroom or locker room to get a peek.  The policy set forth by the VDOE wouldn’t allow us to question them and what their true intent is.  What will happen when those boys start taking photos and then spreading them around?  Of course, we have rules of no cell phones in the locker rooms, but how many middle/high schoolers do you know who follow every single rule?  Have you even considered the can of worms that this will open?  The document notes how school personnel can’t even tell parents when a student of the opposite sex has been changing in the locker room, but what’s to stop the students?  How will the parents who feel that their children’s privacy has been violated, react?  Has this honestly even been considered?  The rumor mill is alive and well in middle and high schools.  If a student doesn’t want their parents to know, it is only a matter of time before they will find out. This policy would require staff to address students by their preferred pronoun, which could potentially change every day.  How are staff to know?  I have two issues with this.  First, students can barely remember to do their homework – do we really expect them to remember to tell their teachers their preferred pronouns each day?  Second, what is to stop a student from taking advantage of this and using it as retaliation against a teacher.  What I mean is, a student claiming that their teacher is not using their proper pronouns (the document identifies that as a form of harassment), in an attempt to get the teacher fired.  And you would be naïve to believe that students wouldn’t try to get a teacher fired if they didn’t like them. My last point is in regards to “menstrual supplies should be made available in all bathrooms to be gender-inclusive.”  I read the document and it notes that these products would be free so they would be easily accessed.  When I read this, all I could think about was the absolute waste of these products.  I could absolutely see the boys taking these products and playing with them and making a complete mess in the bathrooms and using them as a huge distraction in the classrooms.  What a waste of money, too.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

DO NOT SUPPORT\nBody:\nI absolutely agree no one should be bullied or harassed for their personal life choices. This does little if nothing to bring reform. Furthermore all other persons have their right to privacy in single sex facilities. Most children have not had enough life experience to comprehend a decision this large, and the ability to do so without a guardian's knowledge is absurd. These policies pose a real danger to our children, both physically and psychologically. Our leaders have truly lost their way as is evident in many of the bills, laws, and mandates we see in present time. I could expound so much here, but in the end I see such a lack of morals and it's truly disheartening.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As children we would all have loved for every school day to be Halloween. Thankfully we had responsible parents and educators that prepared us for the real world and how to dress properly in public. The simple fact that kids want to dress as crazy as possible isn't surprising. THEY'RE KIDS! What's surprising is that any serious educator would encourage this. No child is truly a transvestite. They don't need mental help. Their parents do for allowing their children to act this way.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I guess we should let our children vote and drink alcohol too if they can make such decisions without a parent’s knowledge or consent. And to think that I’m supposed to send my child to school everyday and trust they’re in a safe environment when meanwhile they’re being put in a locker room or bathroom with the opposite sex? Preposterous! And not to mention they’re being brainwashed to believe that they don’t have to be the gender they were born. There are too many despicable details of this plan to even begin commenting how disgusting and disheartening it is to think this is the world we're living in. Not only taking away our rights as parents, but also our freedom of speech and freedom of religion. This is completely demented.\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.

As the parent of a 13-year-old cis boy, I can tell you that he and his friends could care less how their fellow students identify, and accept other kids as they are,  Affirming a child’s gender identity is critical to their development, and school support is extremely important, especially if kids face hostility outside of the educational setting for simply embracing who they are.  Schools should be safe havens for all students, and this policy can go a long way in ending any bullying and encouraging empathy and inclusiveness.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy that is being proposed for our schools is of great concern.  Growing up, I didn’t fall into the stereotype girl category.  This caused dissatisfaction with who my body indicated I was.  However, I also did not grow up in a culture that encouraged exploration into the possibility that I might be a boy trapped in a girl’s body or that I should possibly transition into a boy.  As I grew older, I was encouraged to accept the body I was given.  Eventually, I actually became thankful for my body and glad that I am a female. (I still prefer power tools to jewelry, and cutting the grass to cooking) I see the destructive nature of this policy in that it does not really help children learn how to accept the wonderful bodies they have been given— uniting their minds and bodies as one.  Instead, it encourages the exploration and questioning of their sex being different than their bodies. This can cause a child much confusion, frustration, depression and suicide. This policy did not address the long term effects of children pursuing transitioning.  A very helpful website with discussion and resources from people who have struggled with this is livingout.org. This policy is demanding that a certain type of speech be used by teachers, staff and students.  This is not free speech, it is censured speech.  If a certain speech is not used, according to this policy, a person can be accused of discrimination and harassment.  All students, teachers and staff should treat each other with respect because each person is of great value.  There must be protection of freedom of speech, freedom of not violating ones’ conscience or belief, and protection against discrimination and harassment for ALL and not just a certain group. This is where tolerance comes in for all students, teachers and staff.  This does not mean everyone has to agree on issues, but part of learning is listening to different views respectfully. Schools should provide individual bathrooms that are available to all students. Opening up the restrooms and locker rooms to anyone who claims to belong to that sex but is biologically different is a violation of privacy and safety of those of that sex. Since this policy does not provide protection for all students, teachers and staff, it should not be approved.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have a 11 1/2 year old Granddaughter who wrestles here in Virginia. Up until she was 10, she wrestled opponents of both sexes. At puberty, Boys become bigger and stronger, giving them an unfair advantage. I believe males should compete against males and females against females, transgendered against transgenders in contact sports at puberty, when these changes begin.

The Virginia Department of Education's job and purpose is to provide children with an education. It is not the VDOE's job to be the parent. Instead you are developing policies that cave into the immature development and mindset of a child's gender choices and in turn labeling parents, teachers and peers as abusers for not giving the child what they want. These children need professional counseling and support from their families to help them understand why they feel they way they do. In addition, the VDOE is not God and should not attempt to redefine what God alone has created. Your model policy does not respect or value the belief of Christians or other faiths that firmly believe that God created people as distinctly male and female. You cannot force us to believe otherwise and deem us as abusive when our faith values are very clear that gender is not fluid. It is not the public school's job to affirm the psychological whim of a child. They are children. You are the adults. Please make adult decisions and implement policies that unify and help children and their families, not separate them by encouraging children to keep secrets from their parents.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

But this proposed policy pushes mandatory transgender political policy onto schools, teachers who disagree, children, and families. This is not about protecting kids from bullying. It is about bullying kids, teachers, and parents into promoting transgender policy against their wills and against their religiously informed consciences. This is bad policy for all Virginia's children. Children are highly moldable. This policy will convince many children to go with the crowd and have sometimes irreversible things done to their bodies before they are old enough to understand the lifelong repercussions. It also inserts the state in between the parent and the child. This is bad scientific policy. It contradicts basic DNA science and biology and encourages boys and girls to reject their own bodies. Boys and girls differ genetically in 6500 ways. Encouraging them to reject their genes is not good science or social policy. This policy is bad for Virginia's teachers. Thousands of them have conscience objections to this policy. This policy would force them to choose between serving as an educator or finding other work. We cannot afford to lose thousands of teachers at once. This is also a First Amendment issue. How much money does Virginia want to spend defending an indefensible policy when thousands of teachers sue? This policy is bad for families. Parents who love their children unconditionally yet disagree with this policy could be labeled as abusers. What happens then? Will the already overloaded state family services come in and remove the children from those homes? This policy creates an atmosphere of distrust between parents and schools. Schools are required to use the pronoun of the child's choice, despite the parent's wishes. How are parents supposed to trust teachers and administrators if they know they are required by law to lie to them? Hundreds of thousands of parents will pull their children from Virginia schools rather than subject their families to such conditions. This policy would put every biologically female student in Virginia schools in danger of sexual assault and subject adolescent girls to intolerable psychological harm as they begin to experience their periods. My three daughters graduated from Virginia schools. Boys will do ANYTHING to get sexually close to a girl, including identifying as trans. This policy will encourage sexual assault and rape. Further, no girl or woman wants a biological male--no matter how he identifies himself--in the bathroom with them when they are menstruating. And young women who try to use the boys restroom are putting themselves more at risk for bullying and rape, not less. On behalf of boys and girls, teachers and administrators, parents and families in all of Virginia, including the ones who believe they are protecting gender dysphoric children, please reject this proposed law. Respectfully, Dane Skelton Pastor, Faith Community Church South Boston, Virginia\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is about the state taking away parental rights and pretending to parent the children themselves. Parents are scolded, and rightly so, because their children do not know how to behave in school and the school's hands can be tied. They are told that teachers are not babysitters but the state now wants to take all rights away from the parents and allow children to manipulate teachers and other children? I would happy be the first parent to sue the school and/ or the VDOE if a horny little boy decided he wanted to see my daughter change clothes in a locker room and was allowed to so. Their are differences in the sexes for a reason. They are kept separately for a reason. Why would the state care so little about the children they are supposed to be protecting by helping possible predators and bullys loose on innocent children. So, the state only seems to care about a few and are forsaking the whole. We have come to a new low in our society and it is being financed by our own tax dollars. If the VDOE has so little experience with children that they choose not to see the ramifications of the manipulation that is sure to follow this policy, then they need to get out of the business. The VDOE is supposed to be educating facts not legislating their own views.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Protect them.\nBody:\nIn addition to their individual mental and emotional struggles that can occur when accepting ones gender identity, trans teens suffer huge amounts of bullying and abuse in schools, clubs, religious and community groups, and often even in their homes. This is one of the many factors that contributes to the dramatically high rate of suicide amongst young trans people. Their existence does not infringe on the rights of any other students or parents, even those who do not consider their identity as valid. No student should not have to endure abuse at their educational institution, and simple things like having bathrooms that trans students can use without fear of harassment can do a lot to alleviate the stress of being openly trans as a young person.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While it may seem inclusive for those who claim to have gender dysmorphia, it completely ignores the fact that there are others who believe there is no such thing. Parents should have a say in their child's life. Children cannot make some decisions on their own. As a Christian this goes against a lot of my beliefs. It seems as if the VA government doesnt care about people who have the same beliefs as me but rather only care about the other side. This is ridiculous. The fact that you would allow any one to \"choose their gender\" and go to whatever bathroom/locker room is just asking for trouble. This will cause all kinds of sexual assault issues. No doubt. This legislation is completely out of line and should NOT be adopted. I hope legislators come to their senses and see how ridiculous this is.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is no question of that. And Virginia has a good anti-bullying law. But this new, proposed policy goes way beyond prevention and crosses the line into 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 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. We all agree that parents should unconditionally love, nurture and protect their children regardless of the circumstances—and abuse is always wrong for any reason. The disturbing reality, though, is that 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? Plus, the policy encourages schools to outright deceive parents:  It says schools should “respect” students if they don’t want their parents to know about their new transgender identity. The suggested plan for implementing this “respect”— and the policy specifically spells this out—is that, in cases where parents are not embracing or facilitating their child adopting a new gender identity (like using a new name, pronoun, etc.), then teachers can use the child’s new identity at school, but in the presence of the parent use the original legal name and so forth. Encouraging kids to lead a double life and hiding vital information from parents that could make a life-saving difference in kids’ lives is clearly not wise or safe. This policy is not safe for our children.  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. Thank you for your consideration, Heather Sanchez\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

We know many trans students are not afforded this experience. School needs to be the environment that protects every student (especially those who have experienced more marginalization) and for all students to learn how to be healthy citizens, to respect others who are different. This bill is the bare minimum for every school district to have in their policy. It is important even further, for specific more detailed strategies to be put into individual district policies for trans students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They may mention them to us in talking, however they are not in their social circles. A good christian and private school raised child is pretty well isolated from these public school teachings. It seems that we are going to have them in the White House anyway. I don't have to defend or like them. Thank God\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It’s a sham that robs children of healthy growth, increases division among peers and hurts children who are confused by their growing bodies. Please love and counsel those who are confused!  They need guidance, support and to be heard, but not at the cost of other students’ natural born rights.  Let women flourish in sports celebrating their achievements while accessing safe locker rooms. Teach boys to be men who are loving fathers and community pillars.

It’s gender identity, and to those saying this pushes pedophilia—a seven year old trans girl is not going to do anything but go to the bathroom in the girls restroom. It is not some liberal ideology being pushed to your kids; it is not confusing and hurtful to them. It is not taking away rights of non-trans children. This fear-mongering parents try to instill due to their misunderstandings of what it means to be transgender is dangerous. To those who also say it goes against Christian morals and values—there is separation of church and state. It’s written in this country’s founding articles. Christian bibles also say nothing against transgender people—someone who has transitioned from male to female: they are female. End of question. Assuming that due to lack of saying this is okay, that this is then going against the word of god is also dangerous because it adheres to fearmongering once more and preaches a religion of ostracizing people for who they are and it’s also attempting to enforce supposed Christian beliefs in a place that is not supposed to be bound by religion. If you want a Catholic belief oriented school, then enroll your kid in Catholic private school. At the end of the day, children just gotta take a , man, let them take that . I can assure you that your ten year old isn’t thinking about the genitalia of everyone else in the restroom while they relieve themselves. And nor is the trans ten year old relieving themselves in the next stall over. Support trans rights for they are human rights and just let kids be human.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

During the 1970's the Psychiatric Journal (DSM3) acknowledged gender dysphoria as a mental illness.  But today, that has now been reversed.  As a believer in Jesus Christ and one who also believes that the Bible is accurate in its assessment of the human condition, I am now the one with the mental issue.  Because I know there is a God who will ultimately have the final say, I pray for politicians and policy makers who diametrically oppose HIs directives.  I am also so sorry that His children are too often considered bigots for not agreeing with current perspective of the times. While I am not expecting anything to change with this comment, I do find it remarkable that far too many Christians today are unwilling to speak out about these issues.  Maybe far too many believe that political correctness trumps biblical correctness.  Rather than a backbone to stand in opposition, too many parents have wishbones, believing that acceptance of alternative lifestyles will not harm their children. I hope that parents and grandparents will come to realize and make correct decisions about the education of the children.  The Educational Department making directives for Virginia schools is catering to the few at the expense of far too many.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is not accounting for the welfare of our children and is looking only at one side of the political spectrum while using our children as victims.  We don't allow elementary school students to drive cars, choose whether to do their homework or even if they can eat their vegetables before or after dessert. Why would we allow them to decide what gender they will be in 50 years? Most children out grow any \"confusion\" they have. I believe this policy can damage a young child. It takes away privacy from developing middle schoolers in the locker rooms. When I was in middle school, the last thing I would want is a biological boy anywhere close to me while I was changing! No matter how that person felt. It is not allowing for a safe and inclusive environment for all students and instead discriminates against conservative and religious families.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

But attempts to \"normalize\" the idea that children can \"change\" their biological sex, should not be promoted in our schools.  Many \"transgendered\" young people now strongly regret their decision to undergo \"transition.\" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7541679/Hundreds-youths-gender-surgery-wish-hadnt-says-head-advocacy-network.html .  I hate to think of the lawsuits that will ensue after minors in particular are given sex-change hormones behind the backs of their parents, just as they can legally obtain birth control, IUDs, \"morning after\" pills and abortions without parental consent.  How can any well-meaning adult think that an 8-year-old (let alone teens in their tumultuous years) has the mental capacity to \"change\" their sex?  There is an old saying that God always forgives, man sometimes forgives, nature never forgives.  It seems that we are forgetting the value of living in harmony with \"Mother Nature,\" even though so many give lip-service to that idea!  Many decry pollution of our air and water resources with chemical pollutants but ignore polluting our bodies with cancer-causing chemicals, hormones and dangerous surgeries which sometimes cause death.  Shockingly, the VDOE guidance document states, \"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.\"  Really?  And since young men and boys who \"identify\" as females will use women's showers, bathrooms and even hotel rooms during school travels, the right of privacy for the great majority of women and girls will be ignored while making sexual assaults much easier.  Women's sports will also effectively end.  Just as Anorexic students with a distorted body image should be helped to see reality, so too should students with Gender Dysphoria be guided and helped to \"follow the science,\" see reality and appreciate that biological sex is determined by DNA and chromosomes.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If the Department of Education wishes to insert itself “in loco parentis” for a student struggling with gender dysphoria while at school, then presumably they’ll be willing to assume ALL medical, legal, and financial responsibilities that arise from the administration’s exclusive counsel and “care” of that child. The DOE proposal 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.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No one wants to see children bullied - not in schools, not at home, or anywhere.

Doing so encourages them to make life-altering decisions from which there is no return.  If you pass this, you will not have to live with the life-altering consequences of this policy, but the children affected by it will.  You get to walk away from it.  They do not.

This is NOT protecting ALL children. There are ways to protect them all.\nBody:\nThis is removing parents rights & those who know their children best. Those who have guardianship & who are responsible for their child's well-being. The government should never dictate how parents should handle gender related issues with their children. This is NOT a safety issue, therefore not an issue for the government to be involved in. Parents and staff should continue to work together to teach against bullying of any kind. I am STRONGLY opposed to any form of bullying. Keeping biological males and biological females separated into gender specific bathrooms and locker rooms is non-negotiable to maintain privacy and safety. A solution could be to offer single room bathrooms. Allowing biological males in biological female bathrooms and vice-versa IS an issue on multiple accounts. For one it's a liability for all. Sadly we do live in a day of false accusations and this puts young people in a situation to be falsely accused. Ultimately though forcing children to use certain pronouns & allowing the school to influence \"gender\" identity and then to threaten removal from home, has taken this to a different level.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Plz read this post from a Pediatrician\nBody:\nI strongly oppose the transgender changes that are being proposed, I ask for consideration for the board and all concerned to please read this post in its entirety.  Follows is an article written by Pediatrician Dr. Michelle Cretella on July 03, 2017, and it provides all that is needed for wise and intelligent people to understand how harmful this is for our children. “Just a few short years ago, not many could have imagined a high-profile showdown over transgender men and women’s access to single-sex bathrooms in North Carolina. But transgender ideology is not just infecting our laws. It is intruding into the lives of the most innocent among us—children—and with the apparent growing support of the professional medical community. As explained in my 2016 peer reviewed article, “ Gender Dysphoria in Children and Suppression of Debate ,” found at http://www.jpands.org/vol21no2/cretella.pdf , and professionals who dare to question the unscientific party line of supporting gender transition therapy will find themselves maligned and out of a job. I speak as someone intimately familiar with the pediatric and behavioral health communities and their practices. I am a mother of four who served 17 years as a board certified general pediatrician with a focus in child behavioral health prior to leaving clinical practice in 2012. For the last 12 years, I have been a board member and researcher for the American College of Pediatricians, and for the last three years I have served as its president. I also sat on the board of directors for the Alliance for Therapeutic Choice and Scientific Integrity from 2010 to 2015. This organization of physicians and mental health professionals defends the right of patients to receive psychotherapy for sexual identity conflicts that is in line with their deeply held values based upon science and medical ethics. I have witnessed an upending of the medical consensus on the nature of gender identity. What doctors once treated as a mental illness, the medical community now largely affirms and even promotes as normal. Here’s a look at some of the changes. The New Normal Pediatric “gender clinics” are considered elite centers for affirming children who are distressed by their biological sex. This distressful condition, once dubbed gender identity disorder, was renamed “gender dysphoria” in 2013. In 2014, there were 24 of these gender clinics , clustered chiefly along the east coast and in California. One year later, there were 40 across the nation. With 215 pediatric residency programs now training future pediatricians in a transition-affirming protocol and treating gender-dysphoric children accordingly, gender clinics are bound to proliferate further. Last summer, the federal government stated that it would not require Medicare and Medicaid to cover transition-affirming procedures for children or adults because medical experts at the Department of Health and Human Services found the risks were often too high, and the benefits too unclear. Undeterred by these findings, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health has pressed ahead, claiming—without any evidence—that these procedures are “safe.” Two leading pediatric associations—the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Pediatric Endocrine Society—have followed in lockstep, endorsing the transition affirmation approach even as the latter organization concedes within its own guidelines that the transition-affirming protocol is based on low evidence. They even admit that the only strong evidence regarding this approach is its potential health risks to children. The transition-affirming view holds that children who “consistently and persistently insist” that they are not the gender associated with their biological sex are innately transgender. (The fact that in normal life and in psychiatry, anyone who “consistently and persistently insists” on anything else contrary to physical reality is considered either confused or delusional is conveniently ignored.) The transition-affirming protocol tells parents to treat their children as the gender they desire, and to place them on puberty blockers around age 11 or 12 if they are gender dysphoric. If by age 16, the children still insist that they are trapped in the wrong body, they are placed on cross-sex hormones, and biological girls may obtain a double mastectomy. So-called “bottom surgeries,” or genital reassignment surgeries, are not recommended before age 18, though some surgeons have recently argued against this restriction. The transition-affirming approach has been embraced by public institutions in media, education, and our legal system, and is now recommended by most national medical organizations. There are exceptions to this movement, however, in addition to the American College of Pediatricians and the Alliance for Therapeutic Choice. These include the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, the Catholic Medical Association, and the LGBT-affirming Youth Gender Professionals . The transgender movement has gained legs in the medical community and in our culture by offering a deeply flawed narrative. The scientific research and facts tell a different story. Here are some of those basic facts. 1. Twin studies prove no one is born “trapped in the body of the wrong sex.” Some brain studies have suggested that some are born with a transgendered brain. But these studies are seriously flawed and prove no such thing. Virtually everything about human beings is influenced by our DNA, but very few traits are hardwired from birth. All human behavior is a composite of varying degrees for nature and nurture. Researchers routinely conduct twin studies to discern which factors (biological or nonbiological) contribute more to the expression of a particular trait. The best designed twin studies are those with the greatest number of subjects. Identical twins contain 100 percent of the same DNA from conception and are exposed t...

Many kids go to the office for various reasons throughout the day.  Some go for daily medication. This is normal and students don’t even question it. The rest of the students should not have to the stress of a biological opposite sex child in their bathrooms and locker rooms.  My daughter has stated that she will never feel comfortable with a boy in the restroom or locker room. Please do not do this! Also, allowing biological males on female school sports teams puts most biological females at a physical disadvantage.  Look at states that enacted this type of legislation and you will see that biological males now hold the top spots in girl sports.  This is unfair to biological females.  They are missing out on scholarships to college.  In Connecticut this has already been an issue where 2 Biological males took titles in female track.  It’s an issue of fairness. A couple of years ago, a biological man who identifies as a female won a women's world championship cycling event in California.  The list goes on.  Please don’t let it go on in Virginia.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

This proposal loosely states that, but ultimately provides more protection/coverage for a trans student. That is not ok. You are providing protections for a tiny little population of students. Favoritism will prevail if this policy is approved as is currently written. Below are a few areas where I see fault and request that the policy be reviewed. Three ways that this policy needs to be reworked: 1. Parent/guardian MUST be told when their student decides to identify as something other than what their DNA has determined that they are. Keeping this from them must not an option. 2. Children must use the bathroom that is determined by their DNA. If they are uncomfortable doing that, then they can have an option of using a private bathroom that has a single toilet and sink. *I realize that some schools, specifically elementary schools, don't offer this option. Districts need to figure that out. 3. Students must NOT be allowed to use a staff office for privacy while changing. If a trans student is allowed to use a staff office to change clothes for PE class because they are uncomfortable around other students, then ANY student should be allowed to do the same. There are hetero students who are uncomfortable changing in front of others, but never has there been a proposal which would allow them an secondary option. Also, if you allow a student to enter a staff office for this purpose you are opening up a HUGE liability for that staff member.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Has there been any attempt to contact pediatric psychiatrists, from BOTH sides of the argument, to have them debate back and forth in an open forum why this is or isn't appropriate for our children? Why this is potentially harmful NOT helpful? Im assuming there has not been because if you guys did your due diligence and were after what was actually best for our kids instead of what pushed the agenda you were after - then you'd know that any psychiatrist worth their salt can provide you with abundant scientific evidence and experience in the field, much more than the supporting side can, that states that the vast, vast majority of children who have decided to present as transgender have endured previous sexual trauma as a child. Meaning that these children are exhibiting not an unconsequential free choice but instead symptoms of unresolved child abuse that caused severe mental chaos and trauma. Supporting this measure inadvertantly forces you into the circle of those who not only perpetrated the abuse but those who refused to help stop it. That cannot be your intention here and if it is, then we have way bigger problems. This is not a good thing to push on our babies, it IS harmful. I dont think I know anyone who believes we should be treating \"transgender\" children badly or harshly. I do not believe we should be humiliating them - I believe that the correct form of action is in line with a compassionate response that focuses on healing and treatment. Let's not forget that so called \"transgenderism\" is classified as a mental health disorder. It is not just a simple, non significant choice of one deciding what they want. Thats not even touching the fact that no child still under the authority of their parents, who cannot even be legally trusted to make a decision to vote, enter the military, or to be trusted to make good enough choices to be out past the state mandated 11 o'clock curfew - has the ability to make good choices for a decision that will have such a profound and permanent impact on their lives going forward. Would you trust your own children with such big decisions without your guidance? The guidance of those who love them more than anything in the world, who more than anyone else, want whats best for them? Come on! Give me a break. No good parent is comfortable with that, not even any of you, if your being honest with yourselves and yet this is what your considering? I cant understand it. This is particularly concerning because you are attempting to HARM children by validating a MENTAL HEALTH DISORDER, without the parents consent or input, at that. I will also say that your agenda, if implemented, places ALL of the civil liability on each of you and on the teachers/school officials involved if that child is harmed in the long run by these half baked, political policies and ill tell you why.  The courts have long established that unless a parent/parental unit have been proven unfit by a court of law, that their decisions and will for a child, whether agreed with or not, cannot be usurped by the state simply because the state thinks it knows better. Because of this precedent, a parents choices for their children must be deemed as \"in the child's best interest!\" Which again, since it seems no one has thought of the consequences, opens the school systems up to liability if the parents can prove harm done and a deliberate choice by the school officials to unilaterally decide, contrary to the parents decisions, what was best for that child, which they will be able to easily do, considering, as I stated earlier, this is a mental health disorder and the long held court precedent. For so many of you who scream at us that we MUST be guided by the science - you sure are going AGAINST the actual science. I believe that both sides of this argument must be weighed against each other equally and from an unbiased, unpolitical stand point before this is allowed to go forward. If it is weighed and argued fairly with both sides being able to present why this is or isn't appropriate - then i believe you all MUST come to the conclusion that all of us FULLY informed parents have already come to - that this is not okay to implement. It is NOT okay to usurp our authority as the rightful providers and decision makers for our children, which again were talking about rights that have been long established by the courts. This should NOT be implemented. I believe given everything I've already stated, that this cannot be implemented in good conscience by any of you. Enough of this cowardly, self preservation bull crap. These are our babies who you are offering up to be potentially destroyed by your unproven theories. Beyond that, a child should not be put in the position to have to deal with these kinds of issues. Let our children be children for Gods sake. They have their whole lives to deal with such heavy issues. Why the rush to destroy them, especially so early?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Treat others how you want to be treated.\nBody:\nI knew a child at the age of three who took deep exception to being called by his name. We didn’t know or have the words at the time but that child was struggling to cement their trans identity in a world that couldn’t comprehend what they knew in their psyche. That child struggled to build relationships through school, developed a serious eating disorder leading to hospitalization and life long health issues, as well as cutting behaviors and attempting suicide. I am utterly horrified by some of the comments I’ve seen. I have my own children now ages 3-10 and I cannot imagine about speaking about someone’s child the way that some of these people have. Treating trans kids with the most basic levels of respect and tolerance saves lives. If you’re the type of person that life is sacred, starts act conception, and wants to #savethechildren, here are children that need saving, are asking for help, and have concrete ideas about how you can help.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I think it will create more problems than it solves.  Anti-bulling policies are more than adequate to protect all students, including transgender students.  I'm concerned that the policy only takes into account the transgender student without regard to other students legitimate (i.e. not hate filled or intolerant) discomfort with sharing bathrooms, lockers or school sponsored sleepovers with the biological opposite sex.  The negative impact on girls sports teams in particular, disadvantages all girls sports gains that have been made.  The policy comes from a perspective assumes the school district's concern for the student is superior to the parent's concern and is contrary to parental rights.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Right now it is a severely misunderstood topic, that due to so much misinformation, brings judgement and mistreatment onto these trans people. Schools already have rules and codes against bullying/harassment of their students, and trans students and staff also deserve this protection.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Providing support and guidelines for teachers will also allow them to better mediate any issues that arise, a win-win for everyone.

While our schools need to focus on inclusion and less bullying across all areas, this will not help that. I strongly disagree with any proposal that silences one group. And this does that. It cuts the parents out of what is happening with sexual identity of children. It silences families that believe in sons, daughters and mom and dads. It cuts out any supper of families who do not agree with any part of this proposal by saying not agreeing is bullying. That’s not true. You can disagree and still love and include someone. Focus on inclusion of ALL. Also this seems to be a medical and mental health diagnosis which schools have no ability to make or hold up. I know because CCPS tells us all the time they cannot diagnose or even use the words dyslexic for my child, who is dyslexic, because it is a medically diagnosis and they cannot diagnosis medically. Gender should also be something a parent and medical is discussing. Once a family and medical team has established this, they may approach the school to create needs for child. But the public school should be doing nothing but including that child as every other child. This proposal doesn’t do that. Also, as a parent I have a right to know what body parts my young child may be exposed to at school. As in shared bathrooms and changing rooms. Again this proposal is not ok. Focus on inclusion not silencing groups as this does.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Educators shouldn't let their own biases affect the quality of education given to students and this legislature appears to give more support and opportunities to a population that is so often ignored. It's time to start educating students on acceptance and kindness rather than exclusion and hate. Educating our youth, rather than shielding them from the differences among them can decrease stigmatization for generations to come. Let's NORMALIZE acceptance!! This is a step in the right direction. Teach love, not hate.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Extremely concerned about this proposed legislation.\nBody:\nI have fully read the proposed bill.  While I believe that we should demonstrate compassion and value to all students, I do not believe this is the way. Singling out one group of students is never helpful and often overlooks the welfare of all students. The plan for overnight school trips is a bad idea - one that would be detrimental to many of the students involved.  I also have concerns for teachers who will be required to respond in ways that may be against their rights and beliefs. My greatest concerns relate to parental rights. I have no problem with designating private bathrooms for all student use, with the intent of helping transgender students.  I do however strongly oppose this bill in it's entirety.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions. Return only JSON."}], "response_format": {"type": "json_object"}, "temperature": 0.0}}

Students who are not transgender have the right to be treated with dignity and respect and should not be forced to learn in an environment that makes them feel afraid, uncomfortable and violated . These policies do not provide accommodations for students religious faith or conscience that oppose transgender beliefs.

And to punish others for not using certain words is ridiculous i wish someone would call child protective services on me. So those kids who have certain religions are just silenced as always. You cant control peoples minds..i have a feeling you will loose alot of students. Parents are going to allow this. For students who have strong religious beliefs to make them sit in a class being taught something they dony beleive is child abuse. having a girl undress in front of males is child abuse. And i will file a law suit everyday against the schools if mine are forced to do this  if you cant ask the transgender male to undress in front of boys because it would be  abuse hiw can it not be abuse to the others. Basically our children dont matter and that is why mine will be home schooled.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is essential that we support our children and provide a safe place for them to learn and grow. This is especially so for our most vulnerable students, including trans and nonbinary individuals. Many transgender students may not receive the support and kindness they need at home, and it is vital that schools remain a safe and supportive place for them to take refuge. Transgender students are particular vulnerable to abuse and can struggle with mental health issues when facing discrimination and violence. The transgender suicide rate is staggering, in both children and adults. We cannot let more children fall victim to this. There have been several concerns in opposition to this plan regarding sexual assault. This is primarily based in falsehood and bigotry. It is a common attack used against the transgender community in reality does not exist. Several studies have shown that supporting trans people and allowing to use their bathroom/ locker rooms of choice has no evidence in increased sexual assault. There are literally no cases of sexual assault committed by trans individuals once granted access to the bathroom corresponding to their gender identity. Transgender students will remain in our schools whether the school administration wants to acknowledge them or not. It is vital we provide them the support and protection they need. Ignoring them would be detrimental to their mental health and safety. When people are brave enough to stand up and be who they are without shame, the world becomes a better, more interesting place. It is our job to support and protect these children. Thank you Claire Hewer\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

On page 7 it states: “First Amendment: The First Amendment protects freedom of speech and expression. Schools may not prevent students from expressing their identity.”  But the First Amendment also protects non-LGBTQ+ to freely express that people are either male or female.  Or would that speech be prohibited? On page 7, under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, it states “This may be understood” in the second sentence.  I will note the use of the “may.”  In that law, I believe the term “sex” meant male and female, not the other categories. On page 7 it states: “Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment: This clause guarantees every citizen equal protection under the law. It protects LGBTQ+ youth in schools from unfair or discriminatory school actions.” But doesn’t it protect non-LGBTQ+ from unfair or discriminatory school actions too?  Like the freedom to be in a locker room and not be exposed to the opposite sex’s genital? On page 6 is provides a definition for “LGBTQ+”, I believe the “L” “G” “B” “T” and somewhat “Q” are defined, but could you provide a definition for “+”.  Generally, in regulations and laws—terms need to be defined in a specific way to ensure the policy encompasses what it is supposed to.  It seems like the “+” would leave open the door to some group to say they are included in this regulation when the intention was not to include them.  Does the “+” include students who what the age of consent lowered to age 17? What about students that want the age lowered to 16 or 15 or maybe 12?  Does it included females that believe they were not made to be married to only one husband? Regarding this proposed policy, “Access to facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to a student’s gender identity shall be available to all students.” It is easy to see that a male could use this policy to gain access to a female locker room for voyeuristic proposes.  In addition, if transgender is going to be acknowledged, there needs to be some way to officially change from one the other and not just letting students do it at anytime.  If a male walks into a female restroom for voyeuristic proposes and all he has to say to get out of trouble is “I changed to transgender for that time”—that should not be allowed. If a girl over 18 decides only wears the male part of a bathing suit at a swim competition and children are there watching, she could be charged with indecent exposure.  The only exemption to the law is breastfeeding. The family is the foundation of society.  If a child is having issues in this realm, the schools should be required to tell the parents of this issues.  School are not there to supplant parents.  Yes, if abuse is suspected it should be reported to authorities. Males and females are biologically different.  Allowing a male to participate in female sports is cheating and should not be allowed.  It robs females of equal protection and will rob them of athletic scholarship opportunities.  Funding used to support males in female sport should be counted as male expenditures for title IX.  If a female is injured due to a male being allowed to participate in a female sport, could there be any legal ramifications?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No, forcing children into this is going to increase teacher/children rape cases, teenage pregnancy, unwanted advances... It is not about trangender. Need to look deeper folks.

If a student feels unsafe or unseen in the classroom, he/she/they have little hope of succeeding academically--a fact supported by many of the educational theorists I've studied in my licensure program. This policy would ensure that our trans students have the chance to excel without the threat of harassment or violence.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.
