Most of the time, it is a phase children go through so to encourage it as truth is dangerous to them. Also, it creates unsafe environments for biological females as well as denies them the freedom in sports to compete against equal female peers. When a child is not allowed to give consent to counseling or other services until a certain age (typically 18), then why do we assume they can figure this information out? If we direct them to this framework of thinking, then we are sending children to harm, potential sexual abuse from peers, and potentially suicide. Also, for those whose conscience or religious beliefs do not follow this line of thinking can impose stress and difficulty on them to serve these children properly. We need an atmosphere of care, guidance, and respect for each other which demanding these things does not create. Thank you for giving people a chance to communicate concerns.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I don't really know anyone who supports bullying or wants anyone to feel uncomfortable, but it feels like the government is going out of its way to push kids in the direction of questioning themselves rather than letting them be kids like we have for as long as I've been on this earth. If there should be separate bathrooms and locker rooms for this small minority, then schools should figure that out, but going out of your way to exclude parents in having any say seems a bit authoritarian. Perhaps there can be a compromise somewhere, but as written, this policy seems designed to create more problems than it solves.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Schools should not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible ‘gender transitions.’ The “model policies” represent an attempt by the state not only to aggressively intervene in the privacy of Virginia families but pit children against their legal guardians. Children live under the guardianship of adults (such as parents or grandparents) precisely because they lack the maturity, prudence, and experience to make safe, responsible decisions for themselves. If the \"model policies\" is approved the education of our children will no longer be the subject to the decisions of parents, but the whims of the state. I strongly oppose the “Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Not because actual transgender students will abuse it but because others will. Also, I CANNOT can a boy a girl and vice versus. It violates my religious beliefs. I love all students but should not have to sacrifice my convictions. I just won’t use pronouns when addressing them at all. Why aren’t my rights being protected? The first amendment allows me to believe What I want in terms of religion. But these very policies will prevent me from practicing my beliefs and will actually force me to go against them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Our schools are NOT the place to be teaching what is right or wrong about sexual orientation, and every policy that our schools are empowered to make about this and similar issues further takes away from our families to raise our children as we believe best. The schools' purpose is to educate academics, not raise morally. It is not right for school policy to divorce the rights and responsibilities of the family/parents from their children, especially with policy that includes non-notification of matters pertaining to the child. Schools can support children by encouraging mutual respect, integrity, kindness and other such values as they pertain to the school community. But never should our government or schools be allowed to step into the rights of a family in matters of how to raise children in matters of religious and personal preferences.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Their ( and your) proposed rules are not honoring anybody or protecting anybody, including those poor souls who want to think they are what they are not. It is dishonoring/disrespecting us and them by playing let's pretend to pander to a bunch of self-anointed elitists who aim to control the rest of us as deplorables. These rules suggest that if I think I am a dog/elf/god/whatever, I am - provided of course that I use the approved pronouns. Being forced to say I am what I am not is stupid and Orwellian. All my children and grandchildren know better - and so does my dog. Is this political pandering, or stupidity, something else, or all of the above? Yes to all. This whole effort is more amoral value-free baloney being pressed on all of us to break down the culture and put us under the control of \"the anointed\" (actually self-anointed).\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. If a boy thinks he's a fish, or would rather be a fish, he has a problem. The least hrmful solution is not surgery to make him more like a fish, but psychology, to persuade him otherwise. He'll change his mind when drowning, if not earlier. The proposed policy is child abuse, manipulating children to support a political ideology.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This proposal itself states on page 10 that \"schools should provide a safe educational experience for all students.\" However, allowing biological males into girls' bathrooms and locker rooms (literally) opens the door to abusive and predatory behavior and is absolutely not a safe environment for our girls. An adequate number of single occupant bathrooms available to all students is a far better solution. Additionally, gender identity is a topic that must be handled with parental input and guidance. Schools are not allowed to give a student a Tylenol without written consent from a parent or guardian; how could this policy presume to exclude parents from the far more significant discussion of gender identity? And finally, the idea that a parent could be reported to CPS for abuse is overreaching political nonsense. Attempting to help a child who is experiencing gender confusion to think carefully and thoroughly about the issue is an expression of kindness and concern, and bowing to this political (not medical) policy could truly contribute to the harm of our children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am very upset about these proposals. There is no way that it can be safe for boys to have the freedom to walk in on a young lady changing or using the restroom. None of my kids want to come back to school now because this new policy is making them feel unsafe (1st through 8th grade). My husband's only response was that he will sue the school if any boy walks in on his daughters. But sadly, at that point the damage will be done. We are very strongly considering homeschool from here on out if this is the direction schools are going.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This does not mean I do not sympathize with those who truly have gender confusion, I think these children need a lot of support. But to implement policies that require the teachings of schools to bring forth the idea of multiple genders, the ability to change genders as you see fit, and to punish those who may innocently say the incorrect pronoun of their peer, student or teacher whom they see as the pronoun they said? This is very, very disturbing. How is everything deemed offensive and punishable now? This ideology not only goes against our Christian beliefs, but it allows for complete confusion to our children by pressing the idea of gender being a choice rather than being biological. In addition, by allowing all genders to share restrooms and locker rooms will be a serious mistake and one where no parent or child will feel safe. Instead of only thinking of how not to offend those who are gender confused, please consider the majority who are uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with someone not biologically the same gender. There will always be those who abuse the system by pretending to be something they are not in order to take advantage of others and I think this would be a gateway for that to happen. My children won’t become victims of a system where a grown man is allowed to be in the restroom with them if he says he identifies as a female. Again I do sympathize with those who truly are afflicted with this confusion, but there will be more problems than benefits to all by implementing these new rules.

The proposed policies completely disregard scientific facts regarding biological sex, and force faculty to impose this disregard for facts across the student body. It also undermines the family's role in raising children by alienating parental rights to know what their children are doing while at public school. I recognize that this policy aims to protect students assumed to be \"at risk;\" however, the collateral damage is far greater suffering across a student body forced to adopt language and cultural attitudes inconsistent with biological facts, the marginalization of parental roles and rights, and the inevitable conflicts that will arise when school staff is bound by these policies to enforce them. The proposed policy would once again put schools in a position to accept responsibility for cultural issues that have nothing to do with teaching / education. Children are not allowed to get tattoos and piercings under age 18 without parental consent; I argue that it is child abuse to permit children to engage in life long changes through school without parental consent or knowledge. These policies will create a mental health crisis that overshadows the mental health crises currently facing students. While gender dysphoria is a medically recognized condition, it usually resolves without necessitating permanent physical or hormonal changes prior to adulthood. Encouraging student to pursue changes while their brains and bodies are still developing is more than irresponsible, it is child abuse and will cause more lasting damage than the damage to children that this proposed legislation seeks to mitigate.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My daughter transitioned in 2nd grade and has been in the public schools for eight years now in her affirmed gender, with none of the problems and issues that are sometimes imagined by opponents of these guidelines. On the whole, we have had creative and supportive principals, teachers, counselors and nurses but have also repeatedly had to \"reinvent the wheel\" for each new school, administration, set of teachers and so on. Having these guidelines in place will give parents like us clarity that the policies and practices we have negotiated with one set of teachers and administrators will still be in place as those people change -- and also that solutions we have found will be made available to all students in the state who need them. I urge public support for these guidelines so that parents can worry less about their child's safety at school and so kids like my daughter can get on with the important tasks of learning and succeeding in school (especially now) without having to think about issues such as bathroom use or being called by the right name and pronouns that others take for granted.\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.

Why? Because she thought that becoming transgender was the answer to her problems. And as she stated proudly to me that she was transgenger, inside she was breaking. The Transgender Policy will not help this girl or her parents, and it will not help the teachers, counselors, principles or school nurses. Under the guise of trying to help confused children, we are making things worse. All chidren need to know that from the moment of conception their sex was determined by their DNA. It was just genes. Children have much to contend with these days in their personal lives, their family lives and in society. Children need a firm foundation to stand on. The school needs to stick to reading, writing, and arithmetic. The family and it's traditions are responsible for teaching children the rest. The School should focus on its job to prepare our children to be productive members of society. And when the School does need to become involved, the parents, the child, and the counselors need to be in the same room deciding on a plan that is acceptable to all involved. Schools as an extension of the government need only to provide a safe atmosphere for all children. That is best done by keeping children busy in school doing schoolwork, teachers teaching the fundamentals of basic subjects, and principles and counselors maintaining dscipline by keeping children quiet and focused on school related subjects, or restricted from interating with their fellow students if they need punishment.

Many of the comments I see here do nothing but deepen the divide between different perspectives. My own opinion is that schools should not be burdened with the task of resolving debates over gender identity. Public institutions should respect the most fundamental priority of our democracy, having to do with respecting the equality of all human beings as such, regardless of their race, gender, or beliefs. I believe it is always better to err on the side of safeguarding these ideals rather than of undermining them. Otherwise, we risk re-creating institutionalized forms of discrimination that we saw under segregation not so many years ago. African-Americans then were barred from using the same restrooms as whites, and now we view this as an outrage. Gay and lesbian couples not long ago were prevented from marrying, and now—whatever our personal beliefs—most of the country believes these individuals should receive the same legal protections and have the same rights as heterosexuals. Do we want to risk the same kind of short-sightedness now? Though some may believe these policies for the treatment of transgender students are based on false or dangerous assumptions about gender, I would urge that we recognize that these policies are motivated by a desire to do good, or at least to avoid harm to vulnerable individuals. Questions about transgender identity will continue to be debated, but they are more likely to be addressed constructively—within families, in therapy, among friends and in communities— where there is a will to love and understand our neighbor. Many of the students in these schools are already far more at ease with the idea of gender fluidity than their parents are. I wonder, therefore, if objections to these policies really have to do with what these young people themselves actually want as a community looking to their own future. Preserving and affirming the dignity and safety of human beings who are not harming us in any way, whoever they are and however one might disagree with them, I believe, is a good that our democracy is built on and that we must continue to sustain.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a proud father of five children and grandparent of nine, I am so thankful that at least the five children have all gone through the Virginia public educational system. I am concerned about the grandchildren, all of primary school age. Due to COVID 19, three (2 in second grade and 1 in fourth grade) have been enrolled in private schools and their instruction and development in comparison to what they were receiving in public school is astonishing. I can’t imagine what positive affect the model policy could have on public school education. I certainly sympathize with those who are struggling with gender identity and bullying. Prior to my Senior year I was the smallest child in my class and had not even gone through puberty. I was bullied constantly and was struggling with emotional problems. Had this model policy been in effect, I would have certainly wondered about my gender “assignment”. A “supportive” school environment would be there and, if my parents even questioned a gender change, I could be protected from an “abusive” home environment. My hormones finally kicked in and I grew to normal size. Thank God for me that this model policy was not in effect. This model policy may be helpful to some but I think that it will create more harm than good. It will create yet another layer of bureaucracy and goldmine for litigation but do little to improve Virginia public education. It will certainly increase the state’s encroachment on family structure and traditional family values. We don’t need a Nanny state.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Gender identity is an innate part of a person’s identity and can be the same or different from the sex assigned at birth.” So says this proposal. But the statement is dangerous nonsense. A person's internal sense does not change his/her physical biology, and it is physical biology that determines our interactions with each other. Athletes compete with their bodies, not their \"internal sense of identity,\" and woman are raped and molested not by \"male identities\" but by (generally stronger) male bodies. We disadvantage women and girls when we pretend bodies don't matter. People who suffer from gender dysphoria need help accepting their bodies, not the rest of the world pretending with them that bodies are irrelevant. These guidelines, which are an massive exercise in make believe, should be rejected.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is my responsibility as a father to instill a sense of right and wrong, to demonstrate to my children how to act in a civil society, to demonstrate how to respect those in authority, and demonstrate how to treat others, especially those that we disagree with, as they want to be treated. These guidelines overstep the responsibility of the schools. It is MY job to teach my children about sex, to teach my children about how they were designed, to teach my children how they were fearfully and wonderfully made. That is NOT the role of the school system. I refuse to allow schools to take away the innocence of my children by having children of the opposite sex changing in their presence. It can be awkward enough changing in front of people of the same sex. I could not imagine the unnecessary fears I would be placing on my children if these policies were to be enacted. If these policies are passed and implemented within Virginia public schools, then I will be exercising my right to educate my child at home or work a second job to send them to private school. I refuse to have public schools actively undermining the upbringing of my children. My children are my responsibility, they do NOT belong to the government.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Disallowing religious exemptions is unconstitutional and we will sue if you enforce these. I am a woman and proud of it. My children have the natural right be proud of their inherent gender. They also have the right to be protected from sexual assault, either verbal, emotional or physical, by other children or teachers who declare transgender and enter bathrooms, locker rooms etc of the opposite sex. These are ludicrous and evil mandates. Protect our children from false ideologies.

The transgender agenda goes against my deeply held religious belief that God made males and females. According to the guidance document, if students and staff do not accept the transgender mindset and practices they are likely to be disciplined for being a bully. I do not want my children to bully anyone, and I encourage them to be kind to all people, including people who are different from themselves. However, Virginia schools should not push affirmation of the transgender student’s identity on others. The guidance document requires students and staff to encourage the transgender person’s identity, likely against the deeply and sincerely held beliefs of many students and staff.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Obviously we want respect and love for our fellow humans to be the basis of any civics program; but as for this deep dive into a very specific and scientifically unsupported ideology of transgenderism and all it implies about materialist / dualist philosophy -- that is just not the same thing as an elementary school civics lesson. When a school system offers no exemptions to controversial programs, its aim can only be to supplant the family. If this is not what you intend, I encourage you to make ample exemptions available, on any basis, not just religious. Because when you undermine families, you necessarily undermine the mental health of society for decades to come, and ironically, you cut the fissures of the culture war even deeper. Schools ought to be in the business of educating, and supporting families in the education of their children -- especially in these times of remote learning when parents are more involved in their child's education than ever before. To insist upon replacing a family's values with that of the government's preferred culture is, on its face, cultural imperialism. So, in review, these policies seem to insist upon: highly debatable materialist philosophizing with our young students, counterproductive school-against-family culture wars, and cultural imperialism. Again, I trust this is not what the policymakers intend. But I find the lack of vision and lack of concern for the implications of broad policies like this to be very, very concerning.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In a sane society, you would be removed from your positions for attempting to do something so evil. It is anything but charitable or caring to pretend that students who suffer from gender dysphoria can change their biological sex by pretending that they are something that they are not. Furthermore, to subject other children to this and have them go along with the charade is harmful to everyone's development and innocence. We already live in a culture that is far too sexualized, and going ahead with these measures will continue this downward trend to new levels of depravity. It is with my full voice, that I oppose these measures, and instead encourage you to have measures to help these children accept who God created them to be. May God have mercy on you for wanting to push these harmful ideas on children, and it is my prayer that you may see the severe error of your ways and use your positions for good. I must admit that the only reason why I am hesitant to speak out against these measures is reprisal for speaking up. There is a great sense of fear among people to speak up with recent revelations coming to light about conservative speech being silenced on social media platforms or us being consistently measured as conspiracy theorists. As a teacher, I fear my message may put my job at risk. This is something that I cannot remain silent about, even though I imagine many will remain silent. If I am punished, then so be it. The actions of this state government have led me to realize that I may need to move my family out of the state if we can find anyplace that has maintained its sanity. I believe measures like this have the potential to create a mass exodus from the state of Virginia and will result in the loss of many teachers who will not go along with these diabolical proposals. Furthermore, I will do everything in my power to ensure that my students either are homeschooled or attend private schools to ensure that they are not subject to these lies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Given that the policy requires no evidence of transgender identity before a student may use the gendered facilities of his or her choice, this policy would allow adolescent boys to enter the girls' locker room at will with no repercussions whatsoever. Indeed, the policy discourages school staff from even asking about gender before a student enters private areas. Concerns for the modesty and psychological well-being of the vast majority of adolescent girls --- whose well-documented anxiety about body image would only be exacerbated by appearing unclothed in front of boys --- appear not to have factored into the creation of this policy at all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No thanks.\nBody:\nPer the draft policies, access to restrooms that correspond to a student's gender identity MUST be made available to all students, school administrators shall NOT confront students about their gender identity upon entry to the restroom, and what counts as a student's gender identity is ENTIRELY up to the personal discretion of the student and administrators CANNOT seek any substantiating evidence from the student. Does anyone with a working brain not see how this is a ludicrous policy proposal? What happens when my daughter tells me that she saw someone with a penis in her bathroom looking at her undressing? What happens to me when I tell her that was a biological male who is probably afflicted with gender dysphoria and who, for reasons her father cannot fathom, was allowed to pull his pants down in front of his daughter? The proposed definition of gender identity is completely incoherent. If the words \"boy\" and \"girl\" are objective enough that people can identify as, and actually be , boys and girls, how can gender identity also be a spectrum? What does it even mean to have an internal sense of gender? What does gender feel like? Apart from having a male body, what does it \"feel like\" to be a man? More importantly, why should feeling like a man, MAKE someone a man? Why do our feelings determine reality on the question of gender, but on little else? Our feelings don't determine our age or our height. What about able-bodied people who identify as disabled? I could go on, but suffice to say, it's so incredibly disappointing to see public servants in the education field trying to make policy on such brittle and incoherent principles. Our schools should be places that support the rights of parents to be primary educators of their children, not counteract parents who don't subscribe to the transgender activism spilling into our kid's lives. This proposal needs to go to the waste bin and never see the light of day again. Oppose.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Children who are struggling with their identity need to be affirmed in the TRUTH of who they are, how they were born, and that biology matters. A girl may not want to dress in pink and ruffles; this does not mean that she should identify as a boy. Likewise, a boy may not want to be a top athlete and play with trucks; this does not mean that he ought instead to identify as a girl. When boys and girls are struggling with who they are, they should be encouraged to explore this, but in the context of truth. Truth does not harm. Those who seek to affirm gender dysphoria perpetuate lies, harm children during crucial years, and also lead others to moral dilemmas. To demand that children and teachers call a transgender student by the incorrect (though preferred pronoun) is to open doors to all kinds of lies being accepted. When will it end? It won't. And so you will find that if schools mandate this kind of policy, what was meant to be inclusive leads many to comply or lose their jobs. Comply with a lie or be called a hateful person. Comply with a lie, while silencing one's conscience, or be labeled a bigot. Complicity with lies eliminates all truth. Education is to pursue truth, not muddy it, twist it, and pervert it. Do children who struggle with the sexual identity need help? Yes. Absolutely. They ought to be treated with dignity and respect as all people. This should not lead to the disrespect and confusion of other students. Imagine the way a young girl feels if a boy comes into the school bathroom, but claims to be a girl? For this and so many reasons, we MUST uphold the truth of gender and biological sex while being sensitive to the needs of students who must be gently guided to their truth of their own sexual identity--not further confused by a misguided transgender agenda.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Does the funny, caring, creative, artistic person get thrown away? Of course not. As parents, we all want what’s best for our children...for them to be healthy, safe and find love. People who are posting negatively simply haven’t had their whole lives turned upside down by a child “coming out”. They have no vested interest in the outcome here. They are simply afraid of what they do not know. Please listen to the people who have walked this walk, who are living this life every day. Please make this world a kinder, gentler place for our children. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is likely true that trans students are bullied or feel unaccepted, and an objective stated in these proposals is to prevent suicide and give assistance. These proposed changes do not do that. They reduce parental rights, increase the voice the school has in the lives of everyone who has children, nullify sports for girls, and pretend that no one will attempt to exploit these rules for their gain. The few who will exploit them, and there ARE some, will be the same problem students you already know & you are giving them more options for wrongdoing. Without a LOT more conversation and understanding of the issues schools are facing with data to back them up, I can only see the negative aspects I listed here. If I were a teenage biological female and this were enacted, I would want my own locker room and bathroom and I wouldn't want a biological male running in my girls track events no matter what the current President endorses.

Transgender youth have the same rights to privacy, freedom of expression, and especially life, as any other student. A student’s identity should not dictate how they are treated nor how they are disciplined. Many of those who oppose this document are in fear of the possible negative consequences that could occur if such rights are clearly stated. An example may be the assault of a cisgender student by a transgender student. These consequences, statistically, are minimal. Furthermore, if those negative consequences did occur, the victims have the right to be protected and the aggressor should be punished- the same way any cisgendered student would be punished for the same situation. Once again, statistically, a transgendered individual is more likely to be assaulted by a cisgendered individual. Another opposition to this document may be the immorality of being transgender. This immorality is linked solely to religion which is meant to be separate from legislation. The idea of gender is not universally defined as man and woman. Simply being and identifying as transgender does not inherently infringe on any other person’s rights. This is about equality and equity. Transgendered youth exist, and because they do exist and they do not inherently infringe on another individual’s rights, they must have access to the same rights as any other student. They must be supported and protected because they are more often than not the victims of violence and abuse. I hope that this document passes and garners more support than opposition. The fear of what “could” happen is not as important as what will happen if transgendered youth are not supported by their environment. Transgender rights are human rights.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have seldom read such an appalling attack on children, parents, our culture and our future than this document. You expect students (and parents) to respect you AND, as educators, to believe you are telling the truth. You are fond of the mantra \"follow the science;\" however, you yourselves follow a cultural agenda, not science at all. It doesn't take a PhD., or a Masters, a B.S. or even a high school diploma to know that you are proposing a set of guidelines that are counter to science. You cannot expect for any student, even a kindergartener to believe anything you have to say when you start the Terminology page with such drivel as \"Cisgender: A person whose gender identity aligns with the SEX ASSIGNED AT BIRTH.\" In the Stanford University Medical School report The Stanford Tech Interactive, July 23, 2004 ( https://genetics.thetech.org/ask/ask35 ), Geneticist Dr. Barry Starr states, \"No amount of surgery, hormone injections or anything else will change someone's DNA from a man's to a woman's (or vice versa.)\" Read the article. Of course, you don't need to read the article to know that we are genetically male or female. That's all there is. There are no other genders and they are not assigned. It is CHILD ABUSE to let children believe otherwise is a deception of the most egregious kind. And to quote a psychologist who believes that children \"declare\" their gender identity by the time they are five or six is obviously a man educated beyond his own intelligence. My five year old thought he was a dinosaur. I thought I was Mary Poppins and could fly with my umbrella when I was five. If children are equipped to make this type of decision at ANY time through majority, why no let them make other life-altering decisions? Why not let them drive a vehicle? Make financial transactions? Sign contracts? Why not let them drink alcohol? Smoke cigarettes? Have sex with adults? Why not let them lead armies? Operate machinery? Why stop at letting them decide their sex? Maybe my son really WAS a dinosaur and I cheated him out of his God-given right to live like one. It is not loving, kind or compassionate to allow people to live in deception. Ultimately, you are parroting and promoting the very first lie pronounced to human kind, \"you shall be like God.\"\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am very disgusted with the DOE & public schools and their bogus programs, not to mention school boards being sponsored by the muslim brotherhood and so forth.

They deserve to have learning situations free from harassment and that support their innermost sense of who they are. Promoting rigid gender norms will not change that sense of personal gender identity. The fears of some around washroom usage do not reflect the reality that students are unlikely (because of their own sense of gender identity and their own knowledge of the potential for bullying) to pretend to be something they are not. Rather, forcing transgender students to use the washroom that does not correspond to their gender identity subjects them to potential harassment and violence. As the parent of a high school student, a voter and a taxpayer, I commend those who have worked with such care on these guidance documents.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is not in the best interests of any child. The gender confusion issues need to be dealt with privately. Rules and regulations concerning these matters within the public school system are not going to be what helps these children. Catering to the freedoms of this type of agenda will only bring on more problems, not solve them. If one has eyes to see and ears to hear, one can see how complying with the gay rights movement has brought on more confusion and reckless behavior over the years within this country. This is a hindrance to the wellbeing of our children, not a help. We need to wake up and view the evidence, and where we have come to by buying into this agenda, and teaching our children that it is all good. Help can be given to these kids, but this isn’t the way in which to offer it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am a trans adult, but I was not a \"trans youth\": if a teen, let alone a younger child, is already requesting a gendering other than assigned, they are in intense need of a place of safety, and in intense danger from the very people who are supposed to take care of them. Don't make school one more place of fear and hiding - if nothing else, it's terrible for their academic records. Also, for the record, I was extensively sexually harassed as a \"female\" child in restrooms by other cis girl children - excluding children based on their genitals can't stop something that already happens all the time.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Yes i understand there is children that are confused about their sex. But, to propose that they are able to use the same restroom as the opposite sex as them because they \"identify\" as that sex is complete nonsense. It only allows for someone and i quote \"more than likley a female\" to be molested, assulted, or even raped. NOW onto the next subject. To say that a male can wear skirts to school is a little crazy to say the least, but to also state that a female could go topless in group activities that males can. Now your really stepping on my toes NORTHAM. That is a quick way to invite every child molesting pervert in the state/country to occupy the seats. Democrat, Republican, Liberal, undecided i don't care. If you support this, you're whats wrong with this country. MY CHILDREN WE'RE BORN MALES AND FEMALES AND THERE ISN'T A DAMN THING THAT'S GONNA CHANGE THAT. You say that i can't teach my children about/or call them by their GOD GIVEN SEX as in my little girl or my little boy. HORSE . And, before you even start on me about being homophobic, you're wrong. My god tells me love everyone! But, he didn't tell me i had to support them using the same restroom as my boys and girls. Wake the hell up Virginia. If this passes i know atleast 5 kids that won't be in public school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If there is an issue concerning someone's child and them determining who they are that should be handled by a counselor, parents, and medical doctors. A child does not know that they wish to be a different sex. To allow this in our school system that my tax dollars pay for is beyond unacceptable and disgraceful to our state and this nation.

School should be a place where parents don't have to worry about boys identifying as girls in locker rooms with their daughters, or exploiting their biological advantage in sports. Instead of overlooking and encouraging moral depravity, more emphasis should be placed towards mental health services for these people.

This policy would take away authority of the educators and staff while causing additional social conflict along the students. Currently educators are burdened with the number of students per class and this would be an additional consideration. Students could leverage this policy to put the educator on the defensive with potential legal ramifications while trying to manage the classroom. The draft policy mentions dignity and respect of the children. However, the same policy would erode the same respect that should be given for the educators. Secondary effects would disrupt dress codes and extracurricular activities. The student population would be adversely affected as well. A comment from a supporter of the draft policy mentions” don’t let anyone invalid who you are”. If sexual identification is allowed, which contradicts physical traits, nothing would prohibit other absolutes to be challenged; someone could identify as having the correct solution to a math problem when the teacher knows the answer as absolute, someone could identify as the valedictorian without the academic success, someone could identify as a basketball player without being on the team, a student with a 2.0 grade point average could identify as ‘advanced/gifted”, a student could identify as a teacher and disrupt the educational period. Anyone could identify as “mentally handicapped/special needs”. This would inhibit the assistance and help that those students need to get a basic Kindergarten through High school education. All absolutes, both physical and intellectual standards would be destroyed. Educational institutions would be isolated from being able to apply metrics and guidelines for a successful school. The school system would crumble at the expense of misguided energy. You must stop this misleading policy. Your action to disapprove the policy will support the teacher/student relationship and empower the parents with their child’s education.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have several concerns about this potential policy. However, for the sake of space, I will only mention a few here. First of all it is the parent's responsibility for the upbringing of their children. Under the guidelines of this proposed policy, the parent's will not be notified when their child is interrogated for allegedly violating the new policy, nor will they be given the opportunity to intervene on their child's behalf. In fact it appears that all of the proposed policy is being permitted without the parent's permission. This is usurping the parent's authority. Secondly, allowing males and females to share restroom, locker room, and shower facilities could potentially put our students at a greater advantage of sexual harassment, misconduct, and potentially rape. I request that should this policy go forward, that an adequate number of single person bath, shower, and locker areas be available for all students regardless of gender identification. Finally I would hope that this proposal would be rescinded as the majority of students in our public schools would not benefit from this immoral action.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I strongly oppose the proposed Transgender Policy that is currently before the Virginia Department of Education. This policy not only usurps parental rights and responsibilities with regard to their children, it also allows for immature children to make irrational life style decisions based on popularity and possible unsolicited teacher and peer influence. It is not the Board of Education's, nor the State of Virginia's job to decide gender determination of the children under their charge to educate. These policies go beyond the scope and mission of the Department of Education. Should this policy be approved as written, I intend to sue the Virginia Department of Education and anyone involved with the passing and implementation of such a policy, up to and including the Governor of the State.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have several reasons for this, three of which I will set forth here. Girls’ locker rooms and restrooms: When I was a middle school student, I hated to change clothes even in front of other girls. I cannot conceive of how I would have felt if I had had to undress in front of a boy! Non-transgender boys could simply pretend to be transgender in order to enter girls’ restrooms and locker rooms for nefarious purposes. This compromises the girls’ safety. The potential for rape and abuse is a distinct possibility here. Overnight field trips: Again, non-transgender boys could pretend to be transgender in order to share a room with a girl, even against her will. What parent of a girl would want this? Girls’ sports: Non-transgender boys could pretend to be transgender in order to compete against girls and thereby win competitions because of their faster speed or stronger bodies. Girls could no longer be assured of fair competition in sports. In all these cases, it is the girls who would suffer. Normally, non-transgender girls do not desire to enter boys’ restrooms or locker rooms—perish the thought! Where is the feminist ideal of fair treatment for girls, for protection from rape and abuse at the hands of predatory males? As a mother, grandmother, retired school employee, and feminist, AND LIFELONG DEMOCRAT, I wish to register my opposition to these policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Everything about this policy is divisive from creating enmity between parent and child to fostering an antagonistic relationship between school officials and parents.

I am a high school teacher and value each and every one of my students. I believe that ALL students should be protected and supported, no matter their identity. Our schools should be safe and welcoming to all students. Data shows that our LGBTQ+ students are a vulnerable population and we should be doing everything we can to help them feel heard and valued. GLSEN's 2019 National School Climate Survey shows that transgender and nonbinary students feel less safe at school and miss school more often because of feeling unsafe compared to their cisgender peers. Transgender and nonbinary students also report higher rates of victimization and discrimination than their peers, especially regarding respect for their names and pronouns and access to bathrooms and locker rooms. Transgender and nonbinary students should feel safe and included in their learning communities. No one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against in their school, which is a place where they are supposed to be able to learn and be a part of a community that accepts them for who they are. Schools teach students how to succeed but they also teach students how to treat each other. This proposed rule will make Virginia schools a better place to learn for transgender and nonbinary students, which creates a better learning environment for all. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students. Sincerely, Amanda Tolson\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is due in part by societal pressure and the conformity they have to impose on themselves to avoid being discriminated against. There needs to be protection in place for transgender youth so that they can express themselves as who they truly are. If being transgender was a choice, many would rather life their life as their assigned sex at birth (uncomfortable in their skin, longing to be who they want to be) over dealing with the hate and discrimination they would face being transgender. And that is sad. It is not a choice, so treat them just as how anyone would treat a cisgender individual. This is not about your religion, this is not about a made notion you have that transgender people are predators, this is about them... and making the world a better place for people to live one step at a time.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Teenagers (and I have 2 currently) are far too young to be able to fully understand the consequences they will experience by making these changes to their lives and their bodies. These guidelines put teachers and administrators in very precarious positions which are determined by the whims of hormonal teenagers. It seems unfair and unwise for all involved. It is not the school's place to help teenagers through this kind of confusion -- it is the family's responsibility. Please do not do this. There are so many other ways to counsel teens through this, rather than elevating it to this kind of place of importance over other things. Our sexuality is not the sum total of our identity -- it is only a part of who we are. And with all the confusion that adolescents ALREADY have about what role sex plays in life, shouldn't we help them understand this, rather than throw gas on the fire of misunderstandings and the glorified place sexuality has in our culture? Please do not do this. These need to be removed: “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) “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) “Gender Identity: A person’s internal sense of their own identity as a boy/man, girl/woman, something in between, or outside the male/female binary. Gender identity is an innate part of a person’s identity and can be the same or different from the sex assigned at birth.” (Definitions, p.6) “A student is considered transgender if, at school, the student consistently asserts a gender identity different from the sex assigned at birth… it does not necessarily require any substantiating evidence nor any required minimum duration of expressed gender identity ...” (Recommended Standard, p.12) “Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence.” (Draft Policy, p.13) “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) “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) “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)\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Look up \"intersex\". It's Biology.\nBody:\nBefore we understood them better, our society called them hermaphrodites. With further advancement in the science of Biology, our society has more evidence that those with XXY chromosomes exist. There are limitless variations of this type of deviation from the \"norm\" (for lack of a better word). That is why we say \"assigned at birth\" for those that want to transition. Because in a less tolerant and more ignorant world, the parents could choose what sex the child was assigned. And a lot of those times very inhumane and barbaric surgeries were done on infants who could not speak for themselves. So in summation, if you're just a bigot: accept it, understand it, and embrace it. But don't cite anything scientific bc you sound dumb.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Virginia's parents and students will have fundamentally different transgender views depending on ethnicity, religion, culture, and education and are free to express their opinion. Failure to use a student's \"preferred pronoun\", which can change from day today, can be considered discriminatory under this draft policy. Poorly written draft language raises First Amendment issues and encourages unfounded discrimination charges. (Draft Policy p. 10, Recommended Standard p. 10, 12, Definitions p.6) Draft VDOE policy violates parenting legal responsibilities preventing a parent's full transparency into their students activities, school environment, friends, and safety. Parents have a right to know what their children are doing in school. (Draft Policy p. 12, Recommended Standard p. 12, p 13) Students are not mature. Bullying, teasing, up-skirting, inappropriate use of Smartphones, silly and disruptive behavior, etc. are difficult to supervise in gender-neutral facilities without invasive CCTV systems, staff supervision or an open communal soace that removes comfort and privacy. Failure to recognize gender neutral privacy and safety issues for children is irresponsible. (Draft Policy p. 18) United Kingdom experiments promoting gender neutral bathrooms resulted in girl's privacy being invaded, with many girls avoiding using school facilities resulting in increased urinary tract infections. At what point does Virginia ignore a girl's need for privacy and the historical role that sexual harassment and sexual assault have influenced women's rights and history? (Draft Policy p. 18) Draft policy encourages students to make gender change and sexual identity decisions without informing their parents. Draft encourages students to make critical psychological and health decisions when students do not have the knowledge, maturity, or understanding of their decision's long-term effects. This, when students cannot consent to sexual activity, cannot legally consume alcohol, are not considered mature enough to vote, may not be old enough to legally drive and must be supervised while taking parent approved doctor prescribed medications in school. (Recommended Standard p. 13) Draft policy demolishes effective communications between parents and teacher. Subjective language in this poorly written draft is open for abuse and misinterpretation. Teachers are prevented from having a free and open discussion with parents. Parents cannot engage with teachers without the real fear of being reported to Child Protective Services. (Recommended Standard p. 10, p. 12, p. 13) Poorly written draft policy permits abuse and creates \"gender neutral\" sports attire issues such as female topless swimming. (Draft Policy p. 16) Issue of biological males competing in female sports was not adequately addressed. Issue must be included and be unambiguous to ensure fairness to female athletes. VDOE intends to impose liberal transgender policies that affect some fraction less than 2% of Virginia's student population at a time when VDOE priorities, focus and resources should be to ensure all state students are educated when schools are locked down due to Covid 19 pandemic concerns, ensue that students with disabilities are provided the best possible education, and school safety and security is improved state-wide. VDOE must better implement effective state-led strategies improving academically under performing schools. VDOE can and should do better. It must recognize the needs of all students, recognize the need for local solutions to individual student issues while ensuring privacy and safety for an established and objective majority - females, especially the little ones.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Religion, Politics, etc. should all be left OUT of the school system for parents to teach at home. Specific Concerns: Freedom of Speech - it is violating my child's freedom of speech to require them to use certain words & pronouns. This is separate from \"not\" allowing my child to use certain language at school (foul language, etc) Parental Knowledge - Parents of minors under 18 have a right to ANY and ALL information regarding their child AND the right to dictate what guidance their child receives. Parents have the right to know how and by whom dressing rooms are being used. If the schools can't adhere to this then create all single use locker rooms and single use bathrooms. Sports - When a biological male out swims or out runs my biological daughter is it fair that she is now at a disadvantage for winning, rankings, scholarships, etc. It is SCIENCE that males are born and biologically stronger and faster. Religious Exemption - Again, separation of church & state. My family & child should be permitted to be religiously exempt from ANYTHING we or our religion chooses.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Overall, this is an overreach by the government to impose ideologies that are harmful to children and families, and contrary to natural law. The proposed policies articulate views – such as the view that “Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six ” – that are far different from those of many parents. Through its blanket endorsement of views like these, the VDOE has gone far beyond the path the General Assembly prescribed. Schools have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students. No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex. Many children would feel uncomfortable when they encounter a member of the opposite sex – particularly adults – in gendered facilities or when entering a shared hotel room as part of an overnight school activity. Children, particularly adolescents, can experience hypersensitive and traumatic reactions to these situations. From the beginning of time, parents have been entrusted with bringing children into the world, and making decisions for their children until they are legal adults. The proposal is an infringement of parental First Amendment rights to raise and care for their children. We feel compassion for children and adults experiencing mental health conditions such as gender dysphoria. The solution is to get them the mental health help and counseling they need, and not to promote irreversible bodily mutilation. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It seems like in the effort to make things more receptive for students struggling with their identity, gay, transgender or whatever, you are seriously running the risk of depriving other children of a safe environment to be who they are -- not struggling with identity. My real concern is that a child who is shy, who is scared, who truly believes differently, that their freedom will be lost. May I suggest that rather than forcing modest children to share bathrooms with someone who is transgender, that you have a neutral bathroom? Male, Female, and Neutral? Not all kids or teens understand fluidity and they may not be ready to figure it out. They deserve to be safe at school as they figure out their own issues that may or may not have anything to do with their gender. I understand that a child/teen who is dealing with gender issues needs a safe space to confront that and process it, and I hope you do provide counseling and guidance and a safe space for them to talk. But it should not be imposed on other children. And if someone doesn't understand fluid pronouns, I do not think they should be punished for harassment. I really do think it's possible to provide a safe space for kids who are trying to figure things out while at the same time keeping the space safe for kids who either don't understand or perhaps don't agree. For me, my hope is that all children, all teens, all people know that they are special and unique in the eyes of God. I just don't believe you have to force one person's truth or struggle on all other people. I think we all have a lot to learn about embracing and accepting people of all shapes and sizes and creeds and genders, whoever they are and wherever they are in life.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

For the protection of ALL students, sex appropriate bathrooms and locker rooms should be adhered to. Teenage years are a very emotional time for our students, but to encourage this behavior is very dangerous. Each sex should be taught to celebrate the uniqueness in which they were BORN rather than trying to change to something that is unnatural. Encouraging this behavior will only produce a generation of adults that are confused and hopeless. Nothing good will come from these polices. I do not want my children or grandchildren indoctrinated with such unnatural teachings. The school is not the place to address this issue.

If they are scared to tell you their trans, ask yourself if there is a reason, if you have given them a reason to think you may not support them. if you are arguing of science, I beg you to do research (I beg all of you that this term scares to do some real scientific research) as it is more than just people who experience ‘being trans’. It happens in other species too, but for them they are not burdened with high brain function and a community that may mock and hurt. Trans people are not new either, being open about it is, and that is wonderful, as it means trans people may get help and be proud of who they are. For those arguing with bible versus, I’d like to one, mention separation of church and state, and two remind you that the golden rule has always been love thy neighbor. How can you say you adhere to that when you can’t even love your child for who they are? God said he created us in his imagine, and that means every aspect, including the changes we make to feel more at peace within ourselves. I have trans friends, some who’s parents are the reason they are happy and feel supportive and have always been confident in themselves, and I have trans friends who do not speak to their families for what they did and said to them when they came out.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

All kinds of issues...\nBody:\nThe bottom line is there are only two sexes; male and female. I have no issue if an adult decides to change their sex or identify differently--but a school policy that affirms children who are still developing is dangerous to their health and well-being. How can you justify not informing a parent about THEIR child making life-changing decisions---ridiculous, and dangerous. And then if a parent encourages their child to embrace their biological sex, then they're at risk of being reported for child abuse? Seriously? Also, if a family decides to raise their children as transgender, that's their personal decision---but don't punish other students/faculty for not conforming to their \"preferred pronouns.\" And on top of that, the school doesn't have to notify me if my child allegedly violates these policies?!!! How will you prevent students from changing their \"gender identity\" to exploit a situation (example teen-age boy saying he's a girl so he can shower with the girl's swim team)? The definition is completely subjective. How are faculty and students supposed to know on any given day which 'gender' a student identifies with? And why are you not going to tell me that a biological male is in the locker room with my high school daughter? This sounds like a law suit waiting to happen. Dress code---so you're telling me a female who identifies as a male can go topless at a swim meet? Do you think that might be distracting? Or males wearing skirts? Seriously? I'm really disappointed with this policy!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If it is all that important to them, let them pay for all treatments, surgeries, etc. to make the change. I am the mother of three, grandmother of four. I would never have let my children make such a momentous decision at a young age. When they are old enough to vote is a beginning. And do not make everyone else accept them as normal for making such a change. In America these days it seems the greatest sin is the sin of \"intolerance\" and if I don't accept whatever you decide, something is wrong with me. Why can't you accept my ideas and ideals as being as valid as yours? This whole transgender phenomenon is a recent development.

Help these students who are gender confused but do not put the saftey and mental health of 99.999 percent of children on the back burner. And think of the additional stress for the teachers, parents and administrators. Schools are in pandemic mode and stress is already high enough without adding to it these irresponsible policies.

They show a total lack of common sense as to how boys (especially teens) will use this just to see girls in stages of undress. They are insanely idiotic. An innocent child could be harassed by school personnel for using the \"wrong\" pronoun if a bully chooses to claim a different gender identity than he appears. It is outrageous to claim the right to discipline such a child, or any child for any reason, without notifying the parents. And it is absolutely immoral for a school to usurp the role of parents in guiding their own children concerning ANY issue involving the child. What a communist thing to do!!! Report parents for being concerned about their child's mental health! Evil!!! What a sad situation we are in to have people with no common sense, and no sense of the welfare of ALL students, proposing policies for our schools. These policies would be cause for a mass exodus from public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Rather, it is all about ramming down the public's throat an ideology that is devoid of anything remotely approaching scientific truth. For example, it refers to one's gender that is assigned at birth. Wonder what that is based on? Visual observation of 100% clear evidence of their gender. Is that not scientific enough? Did critically thinking adults draft this policy? You're going to let a 17 yo male walk into a girl's locker room? How about a 17 yo girl running shirtless through town for cross country practice along with all the guys who are shirtless? Any chance that these scenarios could increase the risk of sexual assault? “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.” Will you tell the parents that suicide prevention education is also provided? After all, the suicide rate among trans kids is above that of heterosexual kids. This is a disaster in the making and children will suffer horribly - you just don't care.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

So according to the policies when in their restrooms children will see the privates of the opposite sex getting ready for gym or whatever and just deal with it. And then you don't tell the parents? And then the child who saw this can be punished if they say anything that would hurt the gender conflicted person? Am I not stating truth? According to your policies I am. Help those very, very few children who are conflicted, but do not make everyone elses world revolve around them. And do not teach children that they are gender conflicted. You are robbing them of their greatness and who they are intended to be, and treading where you have no right. Corona has turned everything upside down, do not add this mess of a policy.

Protect trans rights!\nBody:\nTo whom it may concern, My name is Maria Sigmon, and I am the president of the Anti-Defamation League chapter of Unity Reed High School. I fully support the adoption of House Bill 145 and Senate Bill 161 because I believe that they are an effective means of protecting trans rights and serve to fully support transgender students. This bill will literally save lives as trans people are shown to take their own lives at vastly higher rates, so creating a system where they can be called by their pronouns, use public facilities that align best with their gender identity, and learn in an anti-bullying environment will be very beneficial. Not passing the bills would legitimize a culture of bias and discrimination. Trans rights are human rights, and they must be upheld as such. I understand that parents have concerns with the adoption of these bills. While I firmly believe that these concerns come from a place of genuine love and care for their children, I do not believe that the merits of the claims I have seen regarding the bills are valid. First, these bills are not an infringement on parents' or religious rights. Teaching students about transgenderism is giving them public and scientific information, so completely blocking the bills over individuals' religious views is a violation of church-state separation. Second, calling students by their pronouns is not discrimination against those who refuse to act decently and use the correct pronouns. Third, there is absolutely NO EVIDENCE to support the notion that allowing trans women to use the same facilities as cisgender women poses any danger to anyone. The passing of these bills is crucial to extending human rights to the transgender people in our school communities. I would advise listening to us students on this issue, as we overwhelmingly want to learn and thrive in an environment of inclusivity and acceptance. Our transgender classmates will greatly benefit from the adoption of House Bill 145 and Senate Bill 161. Sincerely, Maria Sigmon\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Students will be allowed to use whatever bathroom or changing room they want without parents knowing. The requirements for schools to maintain gender-neutral dress code standards will also 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. These policies also take away our rights as parents to encourage our children to embrace God given sex. The policies are also hypocritical, and 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. Basically these policies are saying, you must accept everyone, but if you don't accept the way I think, you are wrong and I ban you.

It appears to me the main objective over the years has been to slowly remove the God given authority away from the parents and give it to the schools. Instead of opening conversation and trying to encourage better relations in families you are embittering them. Relationships are key in all of life. This policy is filled with deception and needs to be rejected along with many of the other policies that block parents from engaging in their child’s life. Schools need to offer suggestions and provide information, but leave the final decision to the parents. After-all brain formation is not complete until 25. Why does everyone want to define a child’s life so early on. Stop treating them like adults and forcing them to make adult decisions so early in life. Let them be children!!!! And stop trying to control people!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

GLSEN's 2019 National School Climate Survey shows that transgender and nonbinary students feel less safe at school and miss school more often because of feeling unsafe compared to their cisgender peers. Transgender and nonbinary students also report higher rates of victimization and discrimination than their peers, especially regarding respect for their names and pronouns and access to bathrooms and locker rooms. Transgender and nonbinary students should feel safe and included in their learning communities. No one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against in their school, which is a place where they are supposed to be able to learn and be a part of a community that accepts them for who they are. Schools teach students how to succeed but they also teach students how to treat each other. This proposed rule will make Virginia schools a better place to learn for transgender and nonbinary students, which creates a better learning environment for all. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students. Sincerely, Jacob Davis\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

And you have no right whatsoever to undermine parental authority, an act of tyrannical we see in Red China, the most monstrous tyranny in history with Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia and other communist states.

This policy is anti-scientific, promoting the harmful myth that gender is fluid when each human is scientifically born male or female, in the image of our Creator, unchangeable down to the core of our very chromosomes no matter what hormonal or surgical procedures some choose to undergo. To allow a male identifying as a female to have access to female restrooms and locker rooms, or vice versa, is a state-sponsored abusive and predatory environment. No tax-paying parent should have to subject their innocent child to this unsafe environment and indoctrination in exchange for public education. No hard-working teacher should be forced to propagate this anti-scientific construct in their classroom and school at the risk of losing their career. The disregard for religious freedom in this policy is unconstitutional. You must vote against this policy. Matthew 18:6.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My adolescence was threatened by the intolerance for gender expressions perpetuated by the school system. The lack of trans visibility and general education for all students meant that bullying of gender varent students like myself often went unchecked. By the time I reached middle school I was depressed and suicidal. Thanks to a few open friends and faculty I made it through and am now thriving many years later. But sadly that is not the case for everyone. Many Trans and gender non-conforming individuals do not have that lifeline or support system. Schools are ment to nurture and foster the development of all it's students. Specific guidelines for how to best support a marginalized group can only help those in need. It poses no threat to those outside the marginalized group, but only asks them to learn about something they may not yet understand. I hope you see the moral necessity for clear inclusive policies for transgender youth, and the positive impact this will have on a threatened group of kids in the Virginia school system. Thank you sincerely, Curtis M.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In theory, a senior high school boy walking down the hallway could suddenly decide that he just swapped sexes since he's gender fluid and walk right into the girl's bathroom. Absolutely insane!

As your constituent, I'm asking you to protest against this policy, which seeks to force the state's public school students to positively affirm those suffering from the disorder of gender dysphoria. 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. Thank you for taking action to do everything in your power to protest against this appalling draft guidance.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This seeks to force the state's public school students to positively affirm those suffering from the disorder of gender dysphoria. 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.

There are male and female members of the human race. The sexual part of the human makeup was created for reproduction of the species, not for the sexual pleasure, although the pleasure is an enticement to lead married individuals to reproduce. Sexual attraction is part of the human reproductive system. The LGBT movement is part of the movement of Relativism and does not change the fact that just because someone might be attracted to their own sex or an animal or a plant, etc, makes it right to engage and applaud that choice, any more than choosing to kill someone. There are absolute rights and wrongs. We must love all people regardless of their orientations, but we need to teach the right vs wrong actions that the LGBT community pushes on society.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents are given by God the right and responsibility to \"train up their children in the way they should go.\" Sending one's children to school for instruction in math, language, etc. should not mean that one is giving over the right to instruct in very personal lifestyle choices. Nor should it mean that a child using a restroom is vulnerable to being exposed to or accosted by another child of the opposite gender. Even to propose such an atrocity tells me that our government leaders have given leave of their senses!

One, parents are the primary caretakers of their children and are the ones most responsible for safeguarding and protecting them. Therefore, a child’s “privacy” does not supersede the parents’ right to know what is happening with their child. Only in cases of documented neglect or abuse should another authority (e.g., a school or school district) step in, with an official governmental (e.g., Child Protective Services) and/or law enforcement (e.g., police) agency, and supersede the parents’ rights and responsibilities. Leaving parents of the transgender child out of the equation leads to lies, hurt and damage for the entire family. In our elementary school, a child came out as transgender, and the school only involved the counselors and the students. You can imagine the questions that all of these children brought home. As a parent, it would have been nice to know and be prepared to walk my child through this important and confusing issue. Two, as parents of two teenage daughters, we must protect them from any potential embarrassment, harassment, or abuse from those of the opposite biological sex, regardless of gender identity. To allow anyone into a female locker room, particularly without the ability to question their gender, opens the potential for abuse (physical, mental, emotional) from those who would take advantage of this policy as an opportunity to damage others including transgender individuals. Therefore, changes should be made to this policy or anything similar to prevent this from happening. Thank you for your time and consideration of these comments and your work on these important issues.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

That's a laudable goal but I wonder if students who self identify as Muslim or Christian will be afford the same rights. In other words, they believe in the tenants of their self identified faith. And, that God created man and women in his image (referring to a Christian self identifier) and that there are only men and women as created by God. We'll they be forced to deny the tenants of their religious identity? Will they be forced to violate the essence of their being? Are teachers allowed to provide religious ministry or education to students if they self identify as Christians? If not, why are we making exceptions for others?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is inappropriate for teachers and school staff to become involved in a child’s personal life and sexuality. We have long been taught as parents that no other adult should be asking about our kids intimate development and that any suspicion of secretiveness or deception should be a red flag. Are we abandoning this protection for our children? Are we giving school staff free reign to advise our kids on matters of utmost importance without the consent or involvement with the parent? Who is a teacher that has spent a few months with our children(hopefully too busy educating to discuss personal issues?) to involve themselves in life altering decisions above the parent? One final thought. We know that early treatment for “gender dysphoria” includes hormone therapy, which when administered in childhood prohibits natural reproductive development, therefore effectively sterilizing a child for a lifetime. Do we not think that something so critical and life altering should be left to parents and medical professionals without the influence of teachers who have no lifelong investment in our child? Shame on anyone who would pass this or encourage this kind of corruption in our school system. We are asking you to educate, not parent our children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Opposed!!\nBody:\nFFT: A child (and we are speaking of CHILDREN here, not grown adults whose brains can make an informed decision) can change his or her identity at will and it will be HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION if a teacher can’t keep up with which child is him or her or it or “ze” on any given day? Strongly Oppose. Teachers have it hard enough. Additionally, You really think it’s a fantastic idea to let ANY kids, male or female, into locker rooms of the opposite sex? And teachers are not even allowed to stop and question a student? You don’t think middle school boys aren’t going to waltz into girls locker rooms? You don’t think your girls are going to feel violated when that happens? You’re going to let girls go topless in the pool because they’re a boy that day and you, as a parent, are not even allowed to know that someone is indecently exposing themselves to your child? Give this a modicum of foresight at the mental and emotional pain something like THIS will cause. How many teenage girls will get raped because a teacher is not even allowed to question a high school boy (or boyS) about entering a girls locker room. Not even touching on the brainwashing of confusion into the next generation. In DC, 11 year olds may now get an irreversible sex change operation without their parents KNOWLEDGE, let alone consent. What 11yo is capable of making such a decision? How many college freshman even know what they want to major in? And they think it’s healthy for a MIDDLE SCHOOLER to make decisions about their own health? My 11 year olds would stay up late every night, skip school and eat candy until their teeth fell out were they given free reign. BECAUSE THEY CANT SEE THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THEIR ACTIONS. So we parents must train and protect them until their brains are developed. It’s science. Who is behind insanity such as this?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Are you people seriously insane? What is wrong with you? This policy is dangerous and has no business in publicly funded education or in civil society, period! Multiple issues with these proposed \"model policies\" exist. They are seriously problematic. For instance, schools are not the place for youth that are \"confused\" about their God-given, biological gender to be allowed to violate the rights of other students. As a father to two young girls, I would never want any boy, adolescent male, or male adult to be anywhere near my girls, especially in a sacred, private place like a dressing room or locker room! WHY DO ANY OF YOU THINK THAT IS A GOOD IDEA IN OUR SCHOOLS???!! WOULD YOU WANT YOUR CHILDREN EXPOSED TO THIS DEVIANT BEHAVIOR???? Numerous examples abound of men \"identifying\" as women attempting to change in women's locker rooms in places such as YMCA, and the women and girls were terrified for their privacy, and rightly so! a recent example is of a Seattle man \"identifying\" as a woman and changing at a woman's YMCA locker room gym in the past 4-5 years exist. Just Google it. These kind of stories you can't make up. It's so convenient that the radical progressives in this country like yourselves pushing these dangerous and nonsensical policies all vehemently complain and scream about their \"right to choose,\" \"my body, my rights,\" and other \"Constitutional rights\" related to privacy and abortion whenever those are even questioned or in jeopardy of being challenged or changed, but when it comes to parents demanding that those same rights to personal privacy be protected for their children in school bathrooms and locker rooms, conveniently you are silent, and a parent's rights to know about what is going on in their children's schools are ignored. Hmm, I wonder why that is? It is the penultimate example in hypocrisy. Gender dysphoria is a DSM-5 listed mental disorder that has no business being administered to or promoted in schools. Would a school not tell a parent that a child at school is exhibiting schizophrenic or dual personality characteristics? Of course they would tell them - they would tell them immediately!! But under this insane policy, if a student at school professes to be something they are clearly not (boy thinks he's a girl, girl thinks he's a boy), as parents and citizens we are supposed to just accept that we have no rights or say in the matter, and have no right to be informed? This policy is madness!! There are universal truths in life, and one of the truths we know as humans is that men and boys cannot be women and girls, and vice versa. Gender is not a social construct. I am not a man today and a woman tomorrow, no matter what any nonsensical education policy says or what any misguided woke educator may believe. I am not a Russian princess simply because now I wear a dress, wear makeup, and call myself \"Ivana\" when my real name is Ivan and I am a man. The real issue is not the will or rights of individual students with gender dysphoria or others who are disaffected, but the issue lies with the will of those behind it to assert power over entities resisting fundamental transformation. Dr. Paul McHugh, the former psychiatrist in chief of Johns Hopkins Hospital and a Distinguished Service Professor, has stated transgenderism is a mental disorder that merits treatment. People who promote transgenderism and claiming schools should be \"safe spaces\" for these individuals are promoting a mental disorder and are actually doing these students a grave disservice by refusing to let their parents know their children are expressing this behavior. Studies from Vanderbilt University and London's Portman Clinic of children have shown that for children who had expressed transgender feelings, over 75 to 80% of those children over time spontaneously lost those feelings. No one in a position of authority in education should seriously be advocating for these nonsensical and ill-advised policies as the Department of Education is. As taxpayers in Virginia funding our public schools, no taxpayer should be forced to pay for policies that violate parent's rights and continue to engender a fantasy world where boys can be girls and girls can be boys. Like the rock band The Kinks said in the song Lola, \"Girls will be boys and boys will be girls, It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world.\" We must NOT accept the DOE's attempt to redefine the context of our world through this misguided and dangerous policy by creating a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am personally connected to the issue of equal and just treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals. I, myself identify as a cisgender, bisexual male. Before I came out, both to my parents and the public I was as “normal” as can be. I was treated equally. I am now in ninth grade at Woodberry Forest School, a all-boys boarding school in Virginia. After I cam out, I started to feel more alone, more separated from everyone. It disheartens me to see the studies and polls from transgender individuals that they are treated the same way. No one should have to be secluded from their peers, especially not for their gender or lack thereof. We have a student here who identifies as transgender. She is a wonderful person and I am so lucky to have her in my life. Unfortunately, even in our small school she receives hate. She even had to switch roommates because her former one was uncomfortable living with her. This unfair treatment and mindset of distaste is exactly what needs to be remedied especially in public schools. Students should be taught specifically about transgender people and why they should be treated equally and not treated with disrespect. They are our equals, their equals and they should have no different treatment from their cisgender peers. GLSEN's 2019 National School Climate Survey shows that transgender and nonbinary students feel less safe at school and miss school more often because of feeling unsafe compared to their cisgender peers. Transgender and nonbinary students also report higher rates of victimization and discrimination than their peers, especially regarding respect for their names and pronouns and access to bathrooms and locker rooms. Transgender and nonbinary students should feel safe and included in their learning communities. No one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against in their school, which is a place where they are supposed to be able to learn and be a part of a community that accepts them for who they are. Schools teach students how to succeed but they also teach students how to treat each other. This proposed rule will make Virginia schools a better place to learn for transgender and nonbinary students, which creates a better learning environment for all. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students. Sincerely, Jon M. Bolena\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Most data shows that 94% of children with gender dysphoria grow out of it by the time they reach puberty. So rather than teaching young children to start advocating to change the trajectory or their life before they are developed enough for mature reasoning, and use this as yet another attempt to minimize the role of a parent in developing their own child's morale compass, family values, and parental care in knowing what to teach their own child when, and how to teach it...simply teach tolerance and the ability to have civil discourse with one another. Not sex ed designed for adolescents to be forced on elementary kids. Let our kids be kids and our parents parent.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Read the Absorbent Mind and Citizen of the World by Dr. Maria Montessori. Gender used to mean a pronoun. Sex is biology and not assigned at birth--either you are female (XX chromosomes) or male (XY chromosomes). The problem in today's society is that many people seem to be confused about what it means to be a woman or a man. Just because a boy is more sensitive, doesn't mean he is in the wrong body. Conversely, just because a girl is athletic and strong, doesn't mean she should \"transition\" to a boy. All children should be treated with respect and dignity and realize they are unique and unrepeatable and have unique gifts to help our humanity, not hinder by this distraction.

To change one's original sex infers that GOD made a mistake; therefore, this is a sin. Sinning is wrong because it hurts not only GOD but those who love and obey biblical beliefs. To dictate that Christian students and teachers must use \"appropriate\" sex pronouns, share bathrooms, etc., and the most egregious of all, be threatened for teaching their children biblical sexuality is totalitarianism. Making recommendations is within your rights, but coercing compliance through multiple threats of punishment is repressive and hypocritical. The wrong you are trying to prevent, you, yourself, are doing. What happens when a Christian student is being bullied for his values? Given this scenario, why is the VDOE treating, not only Christians but also Jews and Muslims, differently? Public education prides itself on teaching a diversity of thought, so why are religious views being suppressed? Institutes of education should instead be teaching interpersonal skills, which creates an ongoing diversity of benefits more than punishing those who disagree with you. A top workplace skill is learning how to get along with people who think differently than you. So, why are you struggling to get along with those whose second commandment is to \"love thy neighbor?\" Perhaps someone, who gets along better with others, should be writing the VDOE Transgender policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are billions of them and billions of clear scientific statements as to a person's sex. This is a pure flight from reality and sheer insanity, in addition to being child abuse. But the perverse powers behind this are all about child abuse, any way they can get it, and death upon death, whether through abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, sterilization, vacccinations, instigated wars and now the uptick, by the millions, of deaths by starvation in the Third World through coercive Covid policies. As usual with these folks the cure is much worse than the disease. The innocence of children and the sanity of society is absolutely worth dying for and that will completely reveal these power-hungry and heartless beings for the evil creatures they are. Not that a lot of people haven't figured it out already.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is Biology. We were each created either male or female. The promotion of teaching an ideology that contradicts what they would learn in science is very dangerous and confusing for our children. It is difficult enough for those children working through the question of Transgender. Why would your push this question onto children it is not a struggle for? It is not okay to divorce your biology. The idea of gender assignment at birth is unfounded. This is one of the main topic that will be put into the curriculum You were not assigned a gender you were created to either be male or female. To instill the idea into children that they were assigned a gender not made either male or female will cause unnecessary damage and confusion. This Bill is also in direct violation of the Parental Rights that Virginia Parents have. This policy in the name of respect outlines that the child's desire to to be transgender will be affirmed regardless of where the parent(s) stand on the issue or if they are even aware. This is a direct violation of Parental Rights. It usurps the parents right to parent and educate the child. When did the school system become the parent? The school does not have the right to affirm a gender that the parents of the child may or may not know about. The school system does not have this right nor should they. I am extremely concerned about the safety of our young people. How can it be safe for ALL? When through this Bill men can go into women's bathrooms and so on. There is a major issue here. This issue of safety and privacy really becomes serious in middle and high school. I can remember needing the safety and privacy of the restroom that was only for women. In my senior year of high school I had an angry teach who happened to be male chase me out of his class room and only stopped when I got into the bathroom. If that was a student or teacher that Identified as a women it would have been perfectly fine for him to enter the ladies bathroom. That unfortunate situation I personally lived through would have ended very differently if the bathroom situation was per the directive of the new bill. There is also a major religious freedom issue here. With this type of Bill there will be many teachers who will be forced to teach in such a way that directly violates their religious beliefs. There will be many children who will be forced to learn an ideology that is not founded in science that they will be graded on that directly violates their religious beliefs.

The rights of teachers, students, and parents in their beliefs and stances on transgender issues as well as their basic rights to use changing areas and restrooms without fear of an opposite sex person being present. These policies will result in so many more conflicts than actually resolve bullying and related issues with transgender students. These policies will cause teachers to be sued, loose their jobs, and generally live in fear of breaking a policy based on the whims of a child. We are already hurting to keep teachers, why would we add to their increasingly difficult job?! I especially take issue with any policy that gives the school administration and teachers the right to not inform a parent of their child in any capacity; emotional, physical or mental. In every other situation the parent or guardian HAS to be involved; to say that a parent can be left out of their child's struggle of identity has MAJOR repercussions. This would only further hurt a child; who may I remind you, despite the current social trends, does not have the mental or emotional capacity to truly make such a life altering decision. Although my children are not yet school age, these types of policies would force our family to find other options for their future schooling. My tax dollars may be forced to still support these policies, but the state and local school system would have no other support from my pockets or time.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

But, there is already a strong law to help stop bullying. As a doctor, I realize that genetically there are two genders: male and female. The rest is a psychological designation. When you add surgery and hormonal supplements, it has been shown by studies in Europe that when youth are given the opposite hormones of their genetic make-up, most end up with severe psychological problems. So, encouraging the LGBTQAI+ agenda is very confusing for children - who for the most part pass this gender confusion period once they reach puberty. Also, who determines parental abuse? This can be a slippery slope condemning many people of different faiths, thereby infringing on the first amendment. And, for many other reasons, I oppose the suggested transgender policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans students deserve to feel safe in school and be able to participate fully in activities, including sports. Research has shown conclusively that gender-affirming legislation does not increase risk to cis students but massively increases the safety and well-being of trans students. Safe and affirming educational environments for all students, both trans and cis, should be a major goal of Virginia's school system.\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.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I believe that as drafted, the guidelines will enforce an IDEOLOGY of gender and sex that is harmful to children, by promoting the idea that their malleable, psychological sense of self should over-ride their BIOLOGICAL sex, including to the point of undergoing radical medical interventions with IRREVERSIBLE outcomes. It has been well established that puberty blockers can lead to infertility and cause irreversible damage to the body's ability to normally progress thru puberty. If an impressionable child is convinced that he/she wants to override their biological sex with medicine and surgeries, and later changes their minds, much of what has been done, can not be undone. Why is the Department of Education encouraging this type of behavior amongst our very impressionable children? As a society, we recognize that it is not wise for children to consume alcohol preferably before the age of 21, because they are not fully capable of properly understanding the risks. Likewise, we do not let children under the age of 18 vote-because they do not function as an independent adult and do not fully understand the consequences of their vote, and therefore can be easily swayed by adults who seek to take advantage of their vulnerability. The same can be said for young impressionable children, who are told that the only solution to their CURRENT dislike of the biological sex that they were born with, is to embark on a journey of life-time dependency on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and even surgeries to permanently remove healthy sex & reproductive organs--much to the delight of the gender clinics and drug companies that are already garnering HUGE profits from these brand-new customers for life. Many Virginians believe this to be truly unconscionable--not because they \"hate\" transgender kids--but because they truly care about the over-all well-being of all children. However, those who question the \"affirmation only\" guidelines as proposed, are not represented in these guidelines. In fact, these parents, teachers, staff and students who do not agree with the \"affirmation only\" ideology are marginalized. These guidelines actually institutionalize the bullying, by school administrators, of anyone, including students, who do not agree with these guidelines. It is extremely troubling that students can be disciplined without their parent's knowledge or input, for allegedly discriminating against someone who identifies as transgender. I find it equally disturbing that girls will have lost ALL rights to privacy, under these guidelines, not to mention the fact that all-girls sports have been swept away, by allowing boys, who claim to be girls, to participate on any girl's sports team, without ANY regard for the safety of the girls. I find it very disturbing that these guidelines do not provide any exceptions or accommodations for a student or teacher whose religious faith, conscience, or understanding of basic human biology and sociology, prevents them from being able to go along with the transgender ideology and policies. Because there are no such exceptions in these guidelines, it seems almost certain that the DoE is enforcing one preferred ideology over another, and rather than creating room for differing opinions. DoE is actually creating a sub-group of students, parents, teachers and staff who stand to be DISCRIMINATED against, in the \"name of ending discrimination\". How is this just or fair? How does this foster good will amongst all parties involved? Our students deserve better. Virginia's parents deserve better. Our teachers and staff members deserve better. The Virginia Department of Education can and must do better than what is currently being proposed.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is extremely harmful.\nBody:\nSchools 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! This is extremely alarming!!! The schools do not raise our children - the parents do. You have absolutely no right to \"help our kids explore, facilitate and make decisions about her sexual identity\"! And you would sneak around and do this secretly, without notifying the parents? That's predator behavior. The fact that you would undermine our authority makes me physically sick to my stomach. All students will be allowed to use any bathroom or locker room they choose, without being questioned by any school administrator or faculty, eliminating privacy and safety of students in states of undress. This policy allows for further bullying, assault, oggling and rape and leaves the teachers powerless to remove a student they know isn't trans. Do you realize how many children feel uncomfortable being exposed while changing in front of the same sex, much less the opposite sex. Changing is a very private moment. This policy encourages predatory boys to just walk into girls' bathrooms and locker rooms and take a nice long look. Is that what you want happening to YOUR children?! Every part of this bill takes away my children's innocence and protection. It undermines parental authority. I will have no part in it. If this passes, my children will not go back to public, but I am terrified for Virginia's kids.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Putting the biological truth aside, my young teenage biologically female daughter being forced to change in the same locker room as a biological male, regardless of their identification, can cause real psychological damage; yet such an effect bears little to no consideration when attempting to accommodate the desires of any one individual. Furthermore, the basic, unchangeable differences between females and males that would have to just be thrown out the window to accommodate a biological male who identifies as female, and wants to compete against female athletes, can be physically dangerous, and psychologically harmful. This blatant indifference towards the rights of female athletes, and the disregard for the hard work and effort to achieve, is unconscionable. This is only a small example in pool of negative side effects of this, and I dearly hope the rights of all individuals are seriously considered before implementing such a policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While I fully support educational policies which advance the health and safety of students, the proposed policies reflect a political reaction based upon the popularity of transgenderism and is driven by ideologies rather than science. The science regarding gender dysphoria/transgenderism is not fully developed, but this policy presumes that transitioning is a panacea. In reality, both medical and social scientific studies establish that gender dysphoria is a complex psychological condition. The proposed policy unscientifically labels \"sex assigned at birth\" as a bureaucratic preference rather than a biological reality. Sex and gender are not the same. Sex is an immutable biological fact, whereas gender is a recognized social construct. There are masculine women, and there are feminine males; the chromosomal norm is XX for female and XY for male, despite chromosomal variances found in intersexuality and other syndromes. The policy wrongfully gives full credence to the opinions of juveniles well below the age of legal competence. The policy states: \"School divisions should accept a student’s assertion of their gender identity without requiring any particular substantiating evidence, including diagnosis, treatment, or legal documents.\" This policy is based upon the popular notion that affirming a child's preferred gender is always good. Reality does not reflect this: Take the case of the British woman Keira Bell, a person who was treated by the Tavistock Centre in London, which runs Britain’s Gender Identity Development Service , which resulted in Ms. Bell deciding to irreparably alter and mutilate her body. What is tragic about this case is that when Ms. Bell was 15, she actually received a psychiatric evaluation regarding her gender dysphoria. In court documents, Ms. Bell remembered: “the psychiatrist attempted to talk of the gender spectrum as a way of persuading me to not pursue medical transition. I took this as a challenge to how serious I was about my feelings and what I wanted to do and it made me want to transition more. Now I wish I had listened to her [the psychiatrist].” In retrospect, Ms. Bell, who is now potentially sterile from the results of puberty blockers, regrets that she did not heed the counsel of a psychiatrist. What is so wrong about Virginia DOE's proposed policy, is that it relies on Virginia Statute, Section 54.1-2409.5, Conversion therapy prohibited--the very purpose of which is to preclude the very kind of psychological therapy that Ms. Bell now wistfully wishes that she more fully considered. As a result, the British High Court has ruled that children under the age of 16 may not be given puberty blocking hormones without judicial review . A child may ardently believe many things at early ages--and psychological research has demonstrated that many youths who identify as the opposite sex do not persist in the same conviction beyond adolescence. See Factors Associated with Desistence and Persistence of Childhood Gender Dysphoria: A Quantitative Follow-Up Study . The proposed policy states: \"Whenever schools provide sex-segregated activities such as physical education classes, students should be allowed to participate in a manner consistent with their gender identity.\" In this pronouncement, does the policy differentiate between gender and identity and gender expression? Is it only the child with a gender identity that is allowed to enter the restrooms/locker rooms with which the child identifies? The policy recognizes that there is a difference between Gender identity and Gender expression: \"Gender expression may change over time and from day-to-day and is not necessarily related to the person’s gender identity.\" This raises the possibility that a biological male who identifies as a male but who chooses to express as a female (e.g. a day-to-day cross dresser) and is dressed as a female may be granted access to a girls room. The policy does not consider the potentially negative impact on other students. For example, a policy authorizing a biological male self-identifying as female the full access to a girls' bathroom and shower facilities intrudes upon the privacy and very may well cause psychological harm to many other biological females. Are the concerns of the biological female secondary to the concerns of the transgendered student? Compound this in a school that may have grades k-8 all in the same building, so that a pre-pubescent girl may find herself in the physical presence of a pubescent male who self-identifies as female. Self-identification by a minor child should not be the criteria on which school policies make such drastic changes for a majority of students and the parents of those students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I know this because I am living through the era of Gender Tyranny where a lobby group of elite and powerful men have captured organizations, institutions, whole governments and bought the silence of the populace, along with public support for the most outrageous lies. They have done so while children are being castrated and maimed and their maiming and castration is being used as fodder for national entertainment . Each new day, I ask what it will take to break through. What do others who aren’t fighting need to see, to know, to have happen to them, to have happen to others, before they see this is corporate totalitarianism, consider where it is going and act accordingly? So many of us fighting have loved ones and friends going along with this. It is blowing our minds, tearing us up, how do we continue our relationships with people who refuse to see the harms in front of their faces? Many professionals have now been openly fired for making critical reference to the gender identity industry publicly, or for comments made, on social media. Comedians, professors, authors, cartoonists, teachers, journalists, artists, political commentators, actors, activists and others have been overtly censored , shut down for questioning what is happening. Lawsuits are looming that are being reported on in the general public, of parents losing their children - LOSING THEIR CHILDREN -for refusing to believe in gender ideology, losing campaigns against their children’s school when the schools are hiding their children’s new identity from them. Before parents are even aware of what “gender identity” is, or that their children will be clamoring for wrong sex hormones, before they have even recovered from the shock that their child is identifying as the opposite sex, they are blindsided by the capitulation of the children’s schools , indoctrinated by political lobby groups . There are now 69 “youth gender clinics” - 69!!! - which have emerged on the American landscape over the past decade where there were zero previously. One in the UK was sued by a detransitioning woman and a parent, and openly reported on , by a leading psychiatrist who ultimately left his position after facing disciplinary action for his whistle blowing. Medical professionals are developing more abusive procedures to adhere to this new gender doctrine. Young adults are getting wrong sex hormones for their bodies after a couple of visits to Planned Parenthood and on their school campuses . There are 37,000 young women campaigning for money on GoFundMe to have their healthy breasts amputated so they can “identify as men\". What will it take? Children are being overtly sexualized in public areas and at their schools under a guise of “diversity and inclusion,” a trans lobby mantra that frames this strange new discourse and the force used to implement it, without irony, as anti-bullying programs that parents can’t opt out of. I want people to ask, what kind of human rights movement acts like this? I want them to ask it out loud, in conversations, at their jobs and everywhere they go. I especially want them to have the courage to address the people claiming to love them. Is it a human right to physically dissociate? Where will we be in ten years if we don’t stop lying? The boundaries of all women and children’s safe spaces are being breached , remade to include men and boys. The sex boundary between male and female is being violated. Crime statistics are being skewed , medical information ignored , women with their healthy breasts amputated are being openly used in advertising , on runways and fashion spreads. Young adults seeking to change their sex characteristics in pursuit of a medical nightmare are used in all sorts of advertising. This is going on in the public sphere. None of this is hidden. Men claiming womanhood, to sate their sexual fetish , are being thrust into the limelight at corporations, banks , Hollywood and the government . One of them was just elected to be the nation’s health secretary . Women’s professional sports are being ruined by men claiming womanhood, stealing their titles and their scholarship opportunities and have just been supported in doing s o by our new president. Men are assaulting women in women’s prisons . The silent majority is silent still. This has been going on for eight solid years. By comparison, McCarthyism reached its peak and began its decline during the “McCarthy hearings”: 36 days of televised investigative hearings led by McCarthy in 1954. McCarthyism was segregated to America. It was not a global phenomenon. Gender Tyranny has been on a global rampage across America, Europe, Australia, Canada and is being driven into the global south under a banner of liberation. We have had eight years of bold face lies about the most intrinsic thing to being human - our sex. Everyone knows changing sex is a lie. Even if they aren’t facing it, like the alcoholic in denial, they know it. We cannot bear more, nor can we tolerate the lies any longer, even from those we love. We must demand more. Their silence is nutrition feeding gender tyranny perpetuation across the globe. These “friends,” those who “love us,” those who “care about” others, nodding their heads at overt propaganda, normalizing these harms as the bodies pile up, must be addressed, their silence no longer excused, their “love” called to task. For what is love without action? What does it mean to love, while these harms are mounting all around us with the heads of those we love nodding up and down like bobble head dolls? We must demand more from those claiming to love us, that their love be put into action.The time for educating, for patience, for averted conversations for the sake of comfort, or with regard to false family...

Credit: Andrii Zastrozhnov/Shutterstock October 9, 2020 | 12:01 am Jennifer Bilek It should seem obvious that dyeing one’s hair is nothing like getting surgery or taking sex hormones to pose as the opposite sex. Yet over the past several years of organizing against and resisting the gender identity industry, I have come upon this conflation a number of times by transgender activists. Variations on this have come in the form of “it’s just like getting a nose job, or breast enhancement surgery, or tattoos,” which isn’t true. None of these things are like attempting to alter your sex, and it isn’t just a matter of degrees in medical alterations. Intense body modifications, including breast enlargement or reduction, though they can fall into dangerous territory if they are medically unnecessary, are not in the category of attempting to change what we are at our core. We are not our noses. We are not our un-inked skin or our hair color or the size of our breasts. What we are is a sexually dimorphic species. Our sex is what keeps us whole. I often hear that adults who change their sex markers should be able to do as they please, to express themselves, even as the line is drawn at changing sex markers for, or giving hormones and drugs to, children. Adults should be able to make up their own minds, or so the argument goes, all in the name of freedom and individual choice. But why? Why should adults be granted legal documents and risky and harmful surgeries, and allowed to become life-long medical patients as a means of expressing themselves? Why should they do it when the changes wrought by these allowances come at great cost to society? This is an especially pertinent question given recent retractions by a prominent psychiatric journal , which now states, as the ranks of detransitioners grow, that surgeries to change sex markers don’t fix people’s mental health. In Western cultures, adults are being granted new birth certificates and driver’s licenses that reflect the opposite sex, or third sex , not gender, as the term “transgender” would denote. Gender refers to sex stereotypes. Opposite gender (sex-stereotype) performances can be played out without drugs, wrong sex hormones, surgeries, and a lifetime of dependence on the medical-industrial complex. These gender stereotypes can be played out without changing official documents denoting our sex. Musicians and other artists do it frequently. What society is now allowing is for governments to create a social falsehood out of sex , with technology and pharmacology embedding this lie into law and language. Those of us who want to live in a world that is at least somewhat ordered to the natural need to ask what happens when others are allowed this lie and what makes their free expression more important than what we desire. Even if their issue is intense body dysphoria, which I imagine is painful, why does the emotional pain of a few trump what it means to be human? Right now, women are losing their rights to sexual privacy. Rape crisis centers , domestic violence shelters, women’s homeless shelters, change rooms, and bathrooms are being adapted to sex-neutral spaces that allow biological males. This is a safety issue, yet it’s being completely ignored to accommodate a few men. More importantly, it’s an attempt to violate and deconstruct the boundaries that makes us a sexually dimorphic species. Women bleed. They menstruate. They have to remove clothing to urinate and change menstrual products. They breastfeed. They carry babies. They have bodily needs that men do not have, and their bodies should not be privy to men without permission. Danger is a secondary, though not inconsequential, issue. Boundaries are important for structure over chaos, for privacy, for safety, and for wholeness. Why is respect for the boundary of sex being eroded and coded into law? Women’s sports are no longer women’s sports if men claiming a different gender expression are granted access. So far, we are not reordering society for those who are blind or deaf, though there are a lot more of them than those referring to themselves as “transgendered.” Yet women’s organizations, birthing centers , and health facilities are rearranging language that deconstructs female biology into parts, purportedly so women who choose to alter their sex markers feel comfortable. Lesbians are encountering more males claiming to be women than they are women on their own dating sites. Men are being offered not just the sexually objectified women of their dreams on their sports magazine covers, but the drugged and surgically adapted male to look like the sexually objectified female of their dreams. This is all being normalized at a rapid pace. In medicine , law , language , and crime statistics , there is chaos. This is the point of the gender identity industry. Society is being sold a bill of goods by the corporate state, which is following technological advancement over a cliff. The media outlet Market Watch has stated clearly that the rise of medical procedures to change sex markers is due to the technological ability to do so . The technology creates the demand, not the other way around. This corporate bill of goods wants to make a human right out of a crime against humanity, out of a eugenicist pursuit of changing human biology, until what we are is beyond human, or inhuman. Martine Rothblatt, founding father of the transgender empire, self-identified “transgender woman,” and renowned transhumanist, in 2016 spoke at the Trans History Forward Movement conference in British Columbia.

This is a harmful and utterly inappropriate direction for the Virginia Board of Education. I have had grandchildren in the Albemarle Co. schools for the last 2 years, and I believe that such a policy would promote gender confusion and anxiety in children, the last thing we ought to create in them. The fallout from that confusion and anxiety could be enormous, very damaging to them. No doctor or nurse has any doubt about the sex of a newborn. The DNA is fixed and the genetalia clearly denote a male or female child. You statement that children are arbitrarily \"assigned\" a sex at birth is patently false according to medical science. This policy also encourages the schools to keep any transgender student's \"new identity\" from their parents. This constitutes gross deception and could be considered malfeasance on the part ot the teacher or principal. it also encourages children to lead duplicitous lives with their own parents and to learn that to hide truth (or lie) is acceptable. Creating a climate of \"safety\" and \"respect\" cannot include boys identifying as girls being allowed to use the girls' bathrooms of gym facilities. Every sense of modesty and security in the school setting would be violated by such an arrangement. Schools would not be serving well the clear majority of their families. Please DO NOT allow this policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

One must ask when they review the proposed policy, why is it that one student who's going through a difficult stage of development and questioning their sex can put an WHOLE class of fellow students in a potentially compromising and awkward situation in our bathrooms and locker-rooms? I thought we were supposed to consider ALL student equal. One must also ask why the needs of a minority of students, who need very specific and thoughtful help through a difficult time, give license to a school to completely ignore a majority of other's deeply held religious beliefs & needs? The policy does NOT propose a targeted approach to help a hurting student but a broad remessaging of sexual education in all areas of curriculum that are in direct conflict with MANY student's faith - Muslims, Jews, & Christians- and put students of faith in a position to fear being penalized academically if they don't compromise on their values. Don't all students need an open place to grow their views and learn to respectfully express their beliefs? Why is one student's gender struggles being elevated over another student's right to worship freely and feel safe at school? What happened to respecting the parent's authority to raise their children up as they see fit to go into the world? When did the state come to know better than the parent? That is a very dangerous precedence to establish no matter who you are. This is America, not Russia, Romania, China, or any other country that has a total disregard for individual rights. These children are not state property. They are beautiful human beings that need to be loved by their parents. By giving school administration the authority to outright deceive the parent and make any unfounded accusation that the parent is abusive is an horrific disservice to an already hurting child who needs an informed parent to help them grow up strong. With suicide increasing in middle and high school at an alarming rate, we need parents more engaged and empowered to help their children - NOT shut out! Stop trying to be the parent and focus on teaching students how to learn and grow their minds so they can go far in life!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents are the ultimate stewards of children. The school should NEVER be allowed to hide information from parents. Breaking down families will break down society. Transgender athletes should be required to complete against athletes of the same birth gender.

We should not be asserting that people have a right to be mentally ill. Still less should the state be actively encouraging students to become mentally ill. Educated men must not only keep the moral law in their personal lives; they must see to it that their society keeps the moral law. What we have here is not merely teachers who are failing to teach the moral law, but school systems that are warring against the moral law, and requiring teachers to be accomplices in a campaign to overthrow the moral law.

You can cut off body parts or reconstruct body parts, but you cannot change the DNA of a person - it is in every cell of your body. This policy runs counter to God's Word. It is a lie - you are condemning these children to a failed life based on lies. The underlying psychological problems need to be addressed in a constructive way. This policy would \"protect\" transgender children (the minority), but harm the other children (majority). You can't base policy on a very small minority of dysfunctional children. God created every single one of our children in His image - He knitted them together in their mothers' wombs and has a plan for each one. He created us male and female with very specific characteristics. Going against God's design is not a wise thing to do.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I don't believe there has been thought about how this legislation will affect children like mine who have special needs and do not understand nuances. It is very difficult for my children to understand concepts that are not black and white. This topic is particularly confusing for them. They do not understand the concept of a child who appears to be a boy using a girls bathroom or locker room, or vice versa. The confusion and distress that this policy will cause certain children with special needs - even if you attempt to educate them about the intent of the legislation - needs to be considered. I have heard people say that children who have special needs and cannot understand the concept of a child of a different biological sex sharing a private space like a bathroom or locker room, should simply have an IEP that allows them to use a separate bathroom by themselves. But why should special needs kids be segregated to make them feel more comfortable? Segregation is in fact discrimination for special needs kids. This presents a dilemma that needs to be addressed.

In their adolescent years, children are still in the process of learning who they are, and it is of the utmost importance that they feel safe to express themselves without judgement or criticism from educators, counselors, or peers. This policy will change absolutely nothing for the majority of students, but it has the capacity to change the world for those that identify as transgender. Research has clearly demonstrated that providing children with such an environment decreases prevalence of depression and anxiety in children. In fact, the guidelines of this report are directly in line with recommendations made by the American Academy of Pediatrics. I commend the Department of Education on taking this step towards ensuring that Virginia public schools are welcoming, safe, and supportive for all students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy is very harmful to the parent-child relationship. It undermines fundamental, basic trust of the child-parent relationship, by encouraging the child keep secrets from parents. It causes harm to young children that deserve basic respect and opportunity to change, dress and attend to bathroom requirements without the opposite sex present (boys watching girls, girls in presence of boys). This policy is such overreach, on the part of the public school education system, it's hard to state the full extent of harmful, negative ramifications of this policy.

Biology and science matters and it contradicts the notion that boys can be girls and vice versa. I also oppose public schools promoting, celebrating, and allowing the sharing of bathrooms, locker rooms, beds on field trips between sexes, and gender confused children being able to play sports on opposite sex teams. It’s damaging and HARMFUL to all children. We need to compassionately care for gender confused children without harming other children. Allowing boys into girls locker rooms, bathrooms, and hotel rooms without questioning them is risky and will hurt girls. It puts all girls in a vulnerable position for being taken advantage of and possibly raped. CommentID: 91783\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is a matter of simple biology and healthy psychology. This does not mean to ignore those who suffer or encourage maltreatment of those affected. It means address the dysfunction as such and give help. These proposed policies do not help; they hinder and deceive... all at the expense of the children.

Protect Children From Being Harassed/Discriminated Against By Adults\nBody:\nRe: Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools, GDoc_DOE_4683_20201208.pdf A number of comments here seem deeply misinformed. They insist that schools should stick to teaching \"math and science\" and avoid teaching \"[someone else's] philosophy\" - the thing is, there's nothing in the policy about having any kind of class, for students, about transgender students. The only classes mentioned are for school staff. With that aside - I think all of these comments demonstrate why there is such a strong need for these model policies. So many commenters are opposing guidance intended to protect actual children from bullying and harassment, including harassment by adults they should be able to trust! And in many cases they are doing it based not on having actually read the policies, but purely out of an instant disgust. I don't need to provide the stats of the effect this attitude has on transgender children - they're already in the policy document. I would just like to re-emphasize how much of a difference it makes to a trans student to have a supportive environment at school, when they may very well not have one at home or elsewhere. Even if they do have a supportive environment elsewhere - it can only be for the better to try to prevent harassment at schools and let children focus on learning!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Please do not support the proposed policy which infringes on the rights of students who want to continue the tradition of having bathroom privacy from the opposite sex. The simple solution is to build a transgender bathroom instead of extending transgender students bathroom privileges to male and female facilities\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I support teaching children to be respectful of everyone. My opposition is not to intended to be disrespectful of others who have chosen a different path in life. However, the rights and opinions of parents and all children need to be considered and protected here. Any education my child receives regarding alternative lifestyles needs to come from me as the parent, not educators. My religious beliefs include compassion, respect and understanding, but I do not support this proposed legislation. My children deserve privacy, as well. They should not have to share a bathroom or shower facilities with someone of the opposite sex. They also should not feel they need to isolate themselves in a private facility in order to avoid that situation. Transgenders individuals should not be allowed to compete in sports with their peers. A biological male who is transgender should not be allowed to compete with other females. Understanding basic biology tells us that this would create an unfair disadvantage for the female students. I do understand there are anomaly's in nature and I am a proponent of teaching everyone to be respectful of others, but the basic norm is that people are born to be either male or female. If you menstruate you are a female. If you have a penis you are male. If you commit a crime and leave DNA behind, that DNA will show that you are either male or female. I feel that many mental health issues in young people are due to confusion because of things they hear on social media, TV, music or well intentioned people who propose legislation such as this. There is no data that even supports the anti-bullying campaign that has been present for years. I am curious to see real data that supports this type of legislation. Is there data that support the mental health issues transgender people have due to issues within the education system or perhaps their own struggles. Where is the data? These types of studies take years. Are you prepared for the lawsuits that come when you violate other students rights or do their rights not matter anymore? I believe I read that CPS could be called on parents who do not support their child's choice. What about the parent's beliefs and opinions? Do they no longer have the right to parent their child or is that up to the state now? CPS cannot even respond to the unbelievable number of problems many children experience everyday with neglect or abuse. I clearly do not support any parent abusing any child for any reason, but it sounds like CPS could be called if they do not support their choice. You are opening a can of worms here. This type of legislation does not represent the rights of all children and violates the rights of many. You need more studies/more data before you can conclude the effects of this type of education on all students, not just LGBTQ+. Does providing education of the history, culture, etc... cause unnecessary confusion for other students. It is difficult enough for children to navigate through life without adding to their confusion. Ask yourself how this may impact the mental health of all students before approving any type of legislation as this. Where is the data!!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Also a student or a teacher that does not agree with pronoun changes should not be forced to use them or be discriminated against for refusing to use them. While teasing or malicious bullying should never be excused or supported , the right to have ones own opinion should be allowed.

After making the mistake of reading some of the opposing comments, it seems that many of those opponents haven’t even read the document. Seems sad that adults aren’t willing to stand up for kids.

Students that are minors do not have the ability to consent or make informed decisions about these issues. This is the same reason teens who wish to enter the military early must have parents sign consent forms. The rights of minors must always go hand in hand with the rights of parents. I also believe that until a student undergoes sex reassignment surgery, they do not belong in a bathroom for which they aren't gendered. The other students and staff have rights too. My research into similar laws in CA has determined for me these laws would be terrible for VA. I highly recommend anyone interested in this issue to read...

I am fervently opposed to the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools policies. The public school’s role is not to teach a belief system and especially not to attempt to eradicate the belief system that children have been taught by their parents. These policies mention, “maintenance of a safe and supportive learning environment free from discrimination and harassment for all students“. By this, am I to believe that children who do not buy in to this belief system that your gender is arbitrarily assigned to you at birth and you can choose whether you want to be a boy or a girl, the children who disagree with this, will not be harassed or discriminated against? Or will they no longer have their rights? Certainly not a right to freedom of speech or freedom of thought? And what about parental rights? These policies will demand secrecy from the parents about gender confusion if the student wishes. These policies are political, they are evil, and they are an attempt to indoctrinate our children. I am 100 percent for teaching children to respect and treat with kindness all people regardless of our differences. We should continue to teach anti bullying. I expect the schools to hold their students accountable and to have a zero tolerance for bullying. If these gender identity policies are passed through, who is going to protect the children and families who disagree with them from being bullied? Also, how many wonderful teachers will you lose because of these policies? I will not stay. No, I cannot teach my beliefs, but I will not teach ideologies that completely contradict my faith either. Please oppose these polices. Protect our children and families.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Honestly requiring them to change at all the Even in front of the same sex is not okay. A great compromise to these situations would be individual changing rooms and gender neutral single person unisex rest rooms. I do not approve of my children being counseled on being transgender without my knowledge nor consent. This is overstepping your boundaries in a personal matter that is for family’s to navigate.

It means address the dysfunction as such and give help. These proposed policies do not help; they hinder and deceive... all at the expense of the children.

I am also a Registered Nurse with 12 years of pediatric experience, including in the specialty of pediatric endocrinology, where cases of gender confusion are addressed from a medical perspective. I oppose the proposed policies related to gender identity for the following reasons: 1. In these proposed policies, the gender exploration process is to be hidden from parents. “School divisions will need to consider the health and safety of the student in situations where students may not want their parents to know about their transgender status … There are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student’s request to affirm their gender identity...” (Recommended Standard, p.12) Parents are full partners with the school system, to whom they are entrusting their child for a time and purpose, that being for academic education, and should not be legislated out as primary caretaker and decision maker in a minor child’s life. The natural exploration and examination that naturally comes during adolescence (Erikson’s stages of development label the teen years as “identity vs. role confusion”) should be done in concert with the family and not hidden. The state is not better informed, equipped, or designed to be a loving parental figure. In general school systems do not have better knowledge of a child’s history, interests, or contexts whereby they are able to guide a child through the maturing process as they develop into autonomous decision makers. 2. The capacity for a minor to choose for themself a different sex than biologically assigned at birth and then dress, use bathroom and changing room facilities, and participate in sports as a different gender generates confusion and tension where there need not be. I believe that the emotionally vulnerable and labile time of adolescence is not where life-altering decisions about choosing one's gender should be made. “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) Instead, I want parents to be always fully involved in decisions relating to their child. While it may appear easier to allow operate under the mindset that \"whatever the student says, goes\", in the long run for the child, family, and community's best health there needs to be open communication and dialogue. And ultimately, decision making on such an important topic resides with the parents. Sincerely, Sara Geyer\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am fortunate to have friends who are transgender and many friends who are parents of transgender children. It is heartbreaking to hearing stories of the ways transgender youth are treated and the confusion parents face in knowing how to support their transgender child. I also hear stories of the difficulties transgender youth encounter with unsupportive parents combined by the trauma of being bullied at school. If it weren't for their safe places for transgender youth to share their stories with unconditional love and the support of friends, many would turn to alternative ways of coping which often lead to the unthinkable. We can't change their home life, but we can make sure they are safe and welcomed at their school. I want every child to celebrate being made in God's image to have the same chance at a happy and successful life, and that starts with their education!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The document provides no support for students, faculty, or staff whose religious or personal beliefs are inconsistent with transgender ideas. The document discusses how transgender children may be uncomfortable when questioned about the use of restrooms and locker rooms, but makes no mention of how girls may be uncomfortable sharing a restroom or locker room with a biological male who identifies as a girl. The document should not support one group of students while discriminating against the beliefs of others. Every human deserves dignity. The Department of Education should respect the inherent dignity of each and every student, faculty, and staff member while focusing on actual education instead of advancing a particular set of politically charged ideas. If the Department of Education approves the Model Policies for the 2021-2022 school year, the Department will be engaging in religious discrimination.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

(Isaiah 1:17) There is no limit on who we are to seek justice for. It is our mandate to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God. (Micah 6:8) God is not constricted to gender identity and we are all created in the image of God. (Psalms 139: 13-16) Nothing is more sacred than human life and God created us to live peacefully under God’s protection. (Hebrews 12:14) Jesus did not come for the select few, but for all creation that we all may be joined to God in spirit and being. Because Jesus calls us to offer hospitality to all who are created in the image of God (Matthew 5: 46-57), Because Jesus Proclaimed that He was sent to proclaim release to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, and let the oppressed go free (Luke 4: 18), Because Jesus taught that others will know we are His disciples by the love we have for one another (John 13: 35), Because the Apostle Paul taught that there is no longer male nor female in the realm of God, but all are one in Christ (Galatians 3: 28), Because people of all gender identity were welcome in the Christian family (Acts 8: 26- 40). We support the guidance because Jesus came to welcome all those that are treated as outcast or less than others. Because under God,and the gift of Jesus, all are meant to be treated equally. We at Forest Park recognize many have been turned away from Christ because of the church. It is our mission to uphold our Christian values and stand up for the right of our transgender brothers and sisters, because that’s what being the church means, and that is exactly what Christ does.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature, 27 and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations with women and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males committing shameful acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper, 29 people having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unfeeling, and unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No, the “discrimination” that these policies aim to undo is simply the conviction of the reality that biological sex does indeed determine gender and that the world is divided into boys and girls, as every young child can see. Thus, these policies aren’t just about the very small minority of students identifying as transgender, they require the indoctrination of all Virginia schoolchildren down to kindergarteners with this historically novel and radical alternative. I oppose this new orthodoxy wholeheartedly because it will cause (and in fact is already causing) confusion, grief, and harm to our children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Torcaso v. Watkins , 367 U.S. 488 (1961). As we noted previously, Genesis 1:27 states the biblical – and biological – truth that God created man and woman. The Guidance model policies demand that school employees pretend there is an undefined number of sexes or genders: man, woman, nonbinary, LGBT+, and whatever else some disturbed person might dream up. We recognize that there are individuals who believe themselves to be psychologically different from their biological sex. We agree that these disturbed individuals should not be discriminated against, harassed, or bullied because of their disability. The drafters of these policies may disagree whether transgenderism is a disability as opposed to a normal condition, but it is not necessary to force that determination (either way) to prohibit discrimination, harassment and bullying. Merely to prohibit and prevent discrimination, harassment and bullying, VDOE lacks the legal and moral authority to establish whether the transgender condition is normal or a disability and violates §22.1-23.3 by attempting to do so. To prevent discrimination, harassment and bullying, VDOE may not lawfully establish what is effectively a religious test for employees. Many employees will have religious objections to using unnatural, made up pronouns on demand. To prevent discrimination, harassment and bullying, It is not necessary for school divisions to demand that school employees disavow the religious teaching of every major religion on earth as well as the scientific biological reality that human beings are conceived as either male or female in the DNA. Humane and sympathetic treatment of these individuals will prevent discrimination, harassment or bullying by school employees. Using normal, typical English pronouns does not constitute harassment. We have been unable to locate any reported court case in the United States that says otherwise. For school employees with a Christian background, it is a core Christian teaching that they should love all persons, including those with a disability (or is nontypical in their sexuality) as part of loving one's neighbor as oneself as commanded by God, Lev. 19:18. To force the use of unnatural, awkward English pronouns on pain of discipline action constitutes a religious test for employment in violation of United States and Virginia Constitution. These proposed model policies are not about equality, they are about conformity. Toe the radical line, or else. Commenters: Christian Action Network by David W. T.

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

The boys and girls who refuse to accept their biological sex will be further confirmed in their dangerous dysphoria, increasing their mental and emotional disquiet and contributing to further self-harm and possible eventual suicide. They will also be encouraged to hide their unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from those who are best able to help them: their parents.

The government does not have a right to program or re-program our children to be sexualized for political purposes of manipulation or government control of our children. T-Y! Leave it alone or you may have fewer and fewer children attending public schools. I don't think that is really what you want, is it? I went to public schools from K1-12 with no teacher trying to sexualize us at an early age. My parents answered my questions. Let children be children and let parents be parents.

The right and worthy effort to diminish the necessity, if there ever was such a necessity, for males to fill socially acceptable male roles, and females to fill female roles does not change this. The man who cares for the children; the woman who is the primary wage earner: these alternatives for self-determination should be available.

It would allow a student to use any bathroom or locker room they choose. That becomes a safety issue when a biological male can use a girls restroom.

And up until 5 minutes ago... transgenderism (dysphoria) was known and correctly diagnosed as a mental issue to be dealt with with love and care and counseling. Not something to encourage. ESPECIALLY in children which predominantly auto-correct anyhow after/around puberty. Pushing the agenda is confusing and hurting 99.9% of children who aren't identifying as a transgender. And it's not even helping that .1%. They need real help, not acceptance. There is no scientific evidence that says supporting one's gender identity helps them in any significant way at all down the line. And doing anything permanent (surgery, hormones) to little ones is child-abuse. Let them make these massive decisions, if they still wish to do so, when they are older. Let's show all children that we love them.... and parent them. Not letting them eat candy all day.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Page 12: nothing should be done to or with a child without the parents' input. These are THEIR CHILDREN. And reporting parents for abuse or neglect (13) is not a frivolous thing and reserved for actual neglect or abuse causing imminent danger to the child. I cannot imagine good outcomes from the dress code or allowing the use of any restroom the student chooses (16 and 18). My husband was an athletic director for over 30 years and he can tell you this would not work. I am an ordinary educated person and member of a mainline Christian church--not some right wing extremist. I appreciate the opportunity to express my opinions.

I feel it extends outside the scope and purpose of public education and has no place in the public school system lead by adults with minor subjects in a setting unsupervised by parents. I do not believe my opinion will be considered or that offering a comment period is genuine. I do not believe any opinion other than support of the agenda will be considered or acknowledged. I question and am concerned about the ability of the institution of the public school system to adequately, properly or truthfully educate children any more in light of such proposed agendas. I feel the system has shifted from a focus on real education to one of raising, “parenting”, and indoctrinating children and adolescents with disregard for parents or views differing from their agenda. I feel the public education system as an institution and government entity uses the exact tactics it purportedly opposes - forceful bullying and discriminating those who disagree by enacting policies subject to punishment as well as promoting secrecy and deception (the opposite of transparency). Nevertheless I feel convicted and compelled to voice my STRONG OPPOSITION to the proposed model that in a supposed effort to protect one segment of society from discrimination and is affects, would inherently subject the remaining segments of society to such discrimination and its affects with punishing enforcement. In attempting to promote and protect the rights of some, the result will be to limit the rights of others.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have been a teacher for almost 10 years a parent for 17. If we claim to care about students and stability in society, we MUST support kids in their gender identity. Embracing an identity different from that assigned at birth is NOT something kids do for attention, or a trend that will spread to others. Being a trans individual is very challenging. Trans people are simply asking for basic rights as humans, which we are all entitled to in our country. \"All are created equal,\" not just some, or those in power. Forbidding trans support leads to violence against trans people. Our country is too fragile, the recent attack on our Capitol shows \"regular\" citizens are looking for reasons to be aggressive, and attack those who are different. We need to take the stand that we will not allow hatred or agression against any humans. People don't choose things to make their lives harder, they are trans because that is what they truly are as a person. Other people have absolutely no right to forbid proper pronoun use, bathroom use, for another person. Injustice to some means no real justice for anyone. Trans people are not asking to carry guns or do things that can infringe on the rights of others. It is no one else's business someone's pronouns or identity. We have to stand up for fairness and equality for all not based on race or identity, but on the fact that all humans matter.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Please carefully consider these points which need to be investigated and understood much deep than what can be quickly provided here. So in a sense, all of us really need to stop experimenting with our children's lives. We should not be pushing them towards unnatural states and labeling them, boxing them in for life. We are born as male and female and that is the Law of Nature - referred to as natural law.. During adolescence, one grows mature and might get confused, which time heals. Each person develops at different rates. Forcing children into experiments that have dangerous consequences which are not fully understood by many (depression, anxiety, suicide, anger, violence) is the wrong way to go. The answer is simple. The parents are responsible for this area of their children. The education system should FOCUS on Math, Reading, Writing, etc. Go back to the basics and leave the radical abnormal aspects out of the classroom. Doing so will drive more parents toward private education and the end of public education as we knew it when it was good and decent. You are causing premature distress in our children's lives and negatively impacting our society. Please go back to the basics and focus on what really matters. Leave politics and social experiments out of our schools or do not take any tax money.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Unfortunately, school environments for LGBT youth are often the opposite if children experience bullying or if staff do not have the training or tools they need to best support these young people and protect them. We also need policies to hold others accountable in the event staff or teachers are contributing negatively to the student experience. The McKinney-Vento Act addresses homeless youth and identifies public schools as institutions to help identify youth experiencing housing problems. We know that trans youth in particular are more likely to be experience homelessness or housing insecurity, but if the school environment is contributing to the problem vs offering sanctuary, then we as a society are further failing our young people. This is a moral imperative. For too long, out society has either ignored the mistreatment of LGBT youth and people in general, or actively participated in their disenfranchisement. Supporting young people in exploration of identity and making it clear that we do not tolerate discrimination, bullying, mistreatment, or harassment over gender expression or sexual orientation is a moral imperative. This is also an opportunity for Virginia to set an example for other states which have not yet taken up this issue. Please do the right thing and enact policies to provide protection to some of our most vulnerable young people.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They have the right not to be forced into any type of speech or behavior which contradict their sincerely held (and correct) beliefs. Furthermore, encouraging children to believe and behave in ways contrary to natural law is extremely detrimental to their well-being, and is therefore tantamount to child abuse.

My son has several friends who are transgender and nonbinary. He has known them for years and seen what they have gone through as they navigated their schools and communities while coming out. I am so glad that my child has been among the circle of support around his friends because what they face is so unfair, so frustrating, so dehumanizing -- and so unnecessary. When a kid's experience is supported and validated, they thrive. They are free to be funny or athletic or musical or great at video games or a fabulous caretaker of horses... whatever their interests lead them to explore. That's what kids and teens should be doing -- learning and being curious. Making connections, figuring out how they want to make their contribution in the world. They should NOT have to be dealing with draconian, backwards policies that invite bullying and exclusion. LGBTQ+ kids face obstacles every day that only impede their ability to learn and grow, and lead far too often to mental health issues and suicide. It breaks my heart to know how much distress these creative, bright kids endure. And how very avoidable it is if we simply put in place some commonsense structures to ensure their safety and inclusion. I want my son to move through the ups and downs of his teen years with the loving encouragement of his teachers and school administrators. That is absolutely what I want for all kids in the Commonwealth. LGBTQ+ kids deserve no less.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I strongly oppose this proposition. 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. 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. 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.

This does NOT take the place of family in a child's life. It DOES give these kids a place where they can explore their identity. Yes, IDENTITY, not sexuality.

I feel it extends outside the scope and purpose of public education and has no place in the public school system lead by adults with minor subjects in a setting unsupervised by parents. I do not believe my opinion will be considered or that offering a comment period is genuine. I do not believe any opinion other than support of the agenda will be considered or acknowledged. I question and am concerned about the ability of the institution of the public school system to adequately, properly or truthfully educate children any more in light of such proposed agendas. I feel the system has shifted from a focus on real education to one of raising, “parenting”, and indoctrinating children and adolescents with disregard for parents or views differing from their agenda. I feel the public education system as an institution and government entity uses the exact tactics it purportedly opposes - forceful bullying and discriminating those who disagree by enacting policies subject to punishment as well as promoting secrecy and deception (the opposite of transparency). Nevertheless I feel convicted and compelled to voice my STRONG OPPOSITION to the proposed model that in a supposed effort to protect one segment of society from discrimination and is affects, would inherently subject the remaining segments of society to such discrimination and its affects with punishing enforcement. In attempting to promote and protect the rights of some, the result will be to limit the rights of others.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I work with teenagers and families. Transgender youth and their families face a wide array of challenges in navigating efforts to live in congruence with their identified gender. Transgender youth are more predisposed to experience anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation, often due to lack of support from family or community, dysphoria, or internalized feelings of shame (as so apparent from some of the other uninformed comments on this thread). Please stand up for Virginia’s youth by supporting their safety and mental health in the public school system. I would encourage the GA to reference the Standards of Care established by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health in learning more about ways to support our transgender youth. https://www.wpath.org/publications/soc\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As someone with personal experience with this issue, I know it is critical for transgender/non-binary children/teens (and adults for that matter) to feel accepted and affirmed. I have read literature and spoken with experts on this subject and they all agree that when children's gender identity is affirmed and respected, it has enormously positive impacts on mental health and greatly reduces the risk of suicide. This policy is critical to protecting our trans youth and creating equality in the schools for all children to have a safe space to learn and grow. Enacting these policies is a crucial step in providing all schools with the knowledge and information they need to provide a safe and inclusive educational environment for our trans youth population. The more knowledge that people have, the more they understand and the less they fear! I fully and whole-heartedly support these policies!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As the research shows, children in the LGBTQ+ community are vulnerable to much higher risks for suicide, depression and being kicked out of their homes/running away. Most of these outcomes are because of the lack of support, love and safety all children need to grow, learn and become healthy adults. Outside of a child's home, school is next biggest impact of a child's experience - it *can* be a place that a child goes not only to learn but to feel safe. Right now, without these policies children, more specifically LGBTQ community, school can be a triggering and unsafe place. It impacts so many areas of their wellbeings-for example when kids feel unsafe, their brain is activated by threat, it is neurologically more difficult to learn in a threat-activated state. As you can imagine years in this kind of brain state means they are countless barriers in achieving their potential. I want this for our school systems.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

When he graduated in 2016, his district has just added sexual orientation and gender identity to its non-discrimination policy. Secondary school was HELL for him! He was harassed, threatened with injury, threatened with rape, threatened with death, and called an \"it\" more times than I was made aware of. This animosity came from adults as well as classmates. Now I understand the frequent \"stomach aches\" that prevented him from attending school. I also understand why he hated his senior year math class and why he wanted to change his freshman Spanish class. Studies show that absenteeism goes down considerably when a gender expansive student has support from their school. Support can only come from regulations that include educating faculty, staff, and students about gender identity and ensuring equitable opportunities for all students. Once my son had gender affirming medical treatments (the summer before his senior year) and his school changed his gender marker in their system, he was finally able to use the men's bathroom. Prior to that, he was told he could either use a faculty bathroom (which was very inconvenient logistically) or use the women's bathroom (which was awkward since he looked so male). He ended up not using any restroom at school and would \"hold it\" all day long. He also stopped eating and drinking in school so that he wouldn't be faced with the choice of using restrooms that didn't work for him. That practice would cause him to have frequent urinary track infections. My son never posed a threat to anyone just because he was transgender. In fact, he was the one who lived with daily threats simply because of the way he was born. In this day and age, we wouldn't treat a student of color in the way a gender expansive student is treated. No child has the ability to choose their race or ethnicity. Likewise, no child chooses their gender identity. It is simply an innate part of who they are. Nobody would willing choose to live a life that currently puts them in extreme peril and makes them the victim of prejudice and harassment. I would ask those who are opposed to these regulations to take a moment and put your child in my son's shoes. How would you feel if your child was treated as a danger and a threat and was subsequently marginalized by the very institution that is supposed to ensure your child's safety and ability to be educated? As a former educator of 22 years, I see the potential and value in all students. We all know that a good education is the foundation for success for all individuals. ALL students (regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, socio economic status, sexual orientation, and gender identity) must have the ability to learn in a safe environment! By enacting the proposed regulations, the Commonwealth of Virginia is ensuring equitable educational opportunities for our gender expansive students. What they will bring to our Commonwealth as a whole is too valuable for us to lose! As a side note, my son, upon his high school graduation, returned to his natal state of California, in great part because of the negative attitudes towards gender expansive people in this state. Does the Commonwealth want to see an exodus of so many people full of talent and potential? I am hoping that one day my son will feel comfortable enough to return to this state. Because I will not leave here until I am sure that I have done everything in my power to make Virginia a welcoming place for ALL, including the LGBTQ+ community!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Love God with all your heart, soul, and strength. Doing this will answer all these issues by teaching respect for life - all life. * Love is the answer not political and social labeling which serves only to divide. * Do not taint the classroom with unnatural ideology. Protect children by not interfering with the parents right to raise them . * Inclusive: You talk about inclusiveness.... you should lovingly include a prayerful celebration of Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter, and other religious holidays with honor and tradition they deserve. You should include a respect for history of our country and founding principals. You should include the respectful reciting the pledge of allegiance at the start of each day at school and you should include a time of prayer. You should include the parents in all things that go beyond Math, Reading, etc. Invite parents into the classroom - include them on a daily basis. Include speakers from the local Church and Law enforcement. Include Love of Life. * We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Why divide us with labels when we should be one in spirit?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Children do not have the mental development to make this choice any more than they have the mental development to decide to have an abortion, drink alcohol, or vote. It could make the schools liable for safety risks and create irreparable emotional damage to girls in schools by allowing teenage boys into locker rooms, bathrooms, and sports. The children are too susceptible to peer pressure and make poor decisions due to lack of maturity. So, these decisions are best left to the child and their parents. The school should not infringe on that right and responsibility. Recommend approaching this scientifically, not politically and making choices based on genetic chromosome makeup - male and female. There is no scientific method to define gender identity. It is totally subjective and compromises rights of freedom of religion. Gender neutral pronouns will damage girls and inhibit their development. All gains in women's rights would be undone. This does not result in equal rights for women, it will result is a male takeover of women's issues as transgender boys overtake women physically in compromised environments.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I think that if you are transgender you should be able to go in your bathroom of your gender because you are a boy or you are a girl. School is hard enough for them so why would you want to make it harder. I believe that everyone should be treated equally and if you have a problem with that then leave. Recently I have been bullied but I have also been bullied over my sexuality before so if anyone is reading this and you have kids remember to tell them that it is not ok to bully people over who they like their sexuality or their gender more or less bully people. Because if you do those things can cause tremendous things for people. It will lead to suicide or self harm. Again I extremely support trans lives matter and there is nothing you can do in this world that will make my opinion change.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As the research shows, children in the LGBTQ+ community are vulnerable to much higher risks for suicide, depression and being kicked out of their homes/running away. Most of these outcomes are because of the lack of support, love and safety all children need to grow, learn and become healthy adults. Outside of a child's home, school is next biggest impact of a child's experience - it *can* be a place that a child goes not only to learn but to feel safe. Right now, without these policies children, more specifically LGBTQ community, school can be a triggering and unsafe place. It impacts so many areas of their wellbeings-for example when kids feel unsafe, their brain is activated by threat, it is neurologically more difficult to learn in a threat-activated state. As you can imagine years in this kind of brain state means they are countless barriers in achieving their potential.

I am referencing the proposed amendment to add a section numbered 22.1-23.3 to The Code of Virginia. I strongly oppose this proposed addition to the code. It is wrong and gives undue opportunity for sexual abuse and harassment when male, female, and transgender students are allowed and even encouraged to share restroom and locker room facilities. Transgender students should not be bullied and should be afforded basic respect and dignity. My reading of the proposed policies leads me to believe these policies are designed to further weaken the moral fabric of our society, elevate transgender identity, and cause additional, unnecessary, and discriminatory stress and confusion for those who support and live by the basic tenets of the Christian faith that supports the traditional family values of Christian marriage between one man and one woman. Do not move forward or approve these ill-conceived draft model policies!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

You can not control the beliefs of children and their parents. It is against the constitution to make a parent to teach their children something going that is against their religion, it is unconstitutional. What this is trying to is force kids into believing a certain religious belief that I do not agree with. If I wanted my Childeren to belive they were something they were not then I would teach them that. If they want to be something different I will support that. But to expose this kind of religious belief to my kids IN Schools no less! No. I will home school my kids before I let them be in a school where they are foceing this kind of thing on them. If a child thinks that they are not what they are them so be it, but science says different. There are cromizones that tell people different. If a person dose not want to be that certain cromizome them so be it, I won't argue. But don't force this on kids!!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Here are some thoughts on this bill and the state of this bit of culture in our lovely wintery state. Trans individuals, including and especially little ones, are beautiful and wonderful. No one can make trans people less trans. Trans people deserve the same rights, protections, and care as cisgender students. Maybe more considering all of the vitriol they have to live with daily. This bill protects children and that should be a no brainer. Loving these kids means letting them define themselves, and respecting them in their decisions. Being queer means always questioning things. That's healthy. Not scary. I am a genderqueer graduate student and have felt the deep pain that comes from not feeling there is space for you, or that people care how degrading their suggestions about exclusion and exception and fuss are. My existence isn't a danger to anyone. The trans girl in a second grade class feeling #fine in her princess dress isn't a danger to anyone. Letting the trans guy try out for the varsity men's soccer team isn't a danger to anyone. Opposing these bills is a fear-based stance. I choose a stance of love, and that means uplifting and protecting trans students as the vibrant, wise humans they are. Let's come together in supporting our children and supporting these bills.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The law assigns the parents that responsibility and it is not the role of the VDOE to usurp that role. These regulations will do harm to more youth than Additionally, why would the right of a transgender student transcend the rights of every other child in that school? The straight kids have a right to expect to be kept safe from harm and harassment and not be placed in locker room or bathroom situations with people of a different biological gender. There must be accommodations for the youth who are not comfortable being in those types of situations. To giver them no options will be to invite harm at many different levels. Just as you are trying to accommodate the ones who may be confused over their gender identity, you owe it equally so to protect all the other students as well. Allowing a youth to dictate what pronoun “must” be used on any given day under penalty of the livelihood of a teacher is beyond absurd. The ability for the kids to weaponize this against a teacher or student they may not like is too great. The instances where they have used such tactics is all to common. Use your authority to do well for all the students not just a select few and do not damage the fabric of families and the God and legal rights of parents. You should not try to replace them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Even in my accepting area, they are mistreated daily. It is not fair for these children to be bullied and mocked to the point that they are scared to go to school. WE MUST TREAT EVERYONE EQUALLY. I physically cannot understand why so many people are pressed about this, they are literally just students who want to be recognized for who they are. This won't indoctrinate kids with the \"liberal ideology,\" but it might help people grow up to be decent human beings - even then I do not believe anything will change in our lessons because the curriculum never changes (that's an issue for another day). It will just help students feel more accepted and valid. WE NEED THIS DRAFT.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

God created us male and female and He does not make mistakes ! We humans have made mistakes that have gotten us to this situation. We think we are God and we know everything about everything and if we do not like the truth we should be able to change it regardless of how absurd or untrue \"our\" truth is. You can call red green as long as you want to but that will not change the color. Red will still be red and green will still be green. Boys are boys and girls are girls; and, no policies, or surgeries will change that. We have lost our moral compass and our God given common sense. We agreed all children should be loved and properly cared for but their fantasies should not be encouraged. This policy says if our grandson says he is a girl we should encourage him to explore that possibility. What if he says he is a horse? Children pretend all the time. Adults with an agenda should not lead children along to get them to agree with the adult's mindset. Parents are not abusive because they think their sons are boys and their girls are girls.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is a dangerous route to go and limits the religious freedoms of teachers and families, which is unconstitutional. Parents and guardians should always be informed of what’s happening with their minor children. Nothing, including gender preferences, should be cloaked in secret from parents. In addition, to penalize teachers for not following the guidelines is outrageous. This places an unnecessary hardship on teachers and an undue burden on schools to ensure these mandates are carried out. That a child can change their gender arbitrarily from day to day signals being “woke,” not an actual preference. These mandates and laws do not safeguard the majority population from abuses. For instance, what will protect our daughters from changing in a locker room or using a restroom with a biological male who is abusing the new laws in a perverted way, rather than for legitimate reasons? Absolutely, do not do this. The government has no business creating laws of this nature. These should be local decisions.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I went to a public high school in Virginia where accommodations were made for transgender/GNC students and they were protected from severed bigoted bullying and it affected no one else what so ever. The idea that we should ostracize these students for being their authentic selves is barbaric and by allowing such behavior students will be hurt at the expense of your twisted and old fashioned beliefs. If you are so afraid of your child being exposed to non-threatening real word people maybe you should homeschool them. Your child is in no danger but the school not allowing for a Trans/GNC student to be harassed for wearing certain clothes or by having access to a separate bathroom. Your childs quality of education will not change, your childs opportunities will not change. people are opposed to this on fear alone and that fear only harms people. I fully support this and I hope that even if bigoted people keep it form passing schools will see this as an opportunity to make individual accommodations that will benefit these students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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

None of us wants any student to be bullied. Any mistreatment of anyone in our schools must be addressed. Yet middle ground must be found. The guidelines proposed are acceptable to only a few students and parents and, if adopted, would lead to even more dramatic policies in the near future. For example, our daughter was a state champion in public school track & field, yet her daughter will not have such an opportunity if forced to compete against biological boys! We have 3 grandchildren under the age of 4 whose parents will, no doubt, feel forced to send their kids to private schools AND leave their teaching jobs if this nonsense goes forward. And the same is true for the parents of hundreds of thousands of other students in Virginia. Is this what we want?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Is your child nothing more to you than a ball of Play-Doh? Does their sense of self take a back seat to photos of the soccer team you share on Facebook? Are you so insecure in your ability to love your own child without conviction that the kind of genitalia they have between their legs is a breaking point? Not long ago, I watched my dearly beloved cousin struggle with depression and substance abuse. It resulted in him being stuck in the revolving door of halfway houses and rehab programs for over six years. And, it wasn’t born of laziness, sinfullness or any other excusatory factor; it was because he attended a Catholic school which scorned him for being gay. It wasn’t until he finally transitioned from being a woman to a man that he found happiness and stability in life. But, without support and understanding from his peers and loved ones to make the brave decision to transition, my cousin would probably be dead of overdose or a DUI. We must learn to support transgender people as early as we can in their lives. Years of disapproval and scorn solve nothing in this context; all that does is ignore the problem and let it continue to spiral out of control. Good luck “getting rid” of transgender people; you are out numbered. To those conservative minds refusing this proposal outright, I asl you: have you no decency? What’s the worst thing that could happen?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is forgetting completely about those students who are satisfied with their identity. This is creating a stressful environment which is detrimental to students mental health, their education, and quality of life. The stress of being punished for using the wrong pronoun? The stress of not knowing who will walk in a bathroom or locker room? What if there is a younger child and an older one of the opposite sex walks in? Male or female. This is just asking for trouble. At a time where sexual abuse and protecting yourself has become so known and expressed to stand up for yourself and speak up, we do this to our children??? Not to mention handling our children without parents consent. Did you carry them for 9 months within your body? Did you get up with them when they were screaming at night? Did you feed/bath/care/teach/love them? You have no right to come between a parent and their child. This is stepping on so many basic human rights its unreal. I’m all for helping those students who are confused, who need guidance, who need help with their feelings. But this is NOT the way.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I did not cause any harm or stress to my peers because my transition did not affect anyone besides myself.

Concern for your child, grandchild, or community's children is healthy but the line is crossed when that fear prevents trans and nonbinary children (and I repeat: CHILDREN) from absolute protection. I went to school in Virginia in the 90s-00s and remember these same conversations, scorn, and hate being directed towards LGB youth. Something as simple as attraction was criticized and now parents want to criticize gender identity. I agree with them that school years are formative, but they're formative for everyone. No child should have to stifle and hide who they truly are in these critical years of youth- when they should be given time, counseling, and a safe space to become who they are. Opposing this bill is opposing human nature. We often strip children over authority of their bodies, but that is an antiquated way to treat them. They too will have jobs, hold offices, make public comments like these one day. Our sole responsibility over them adults, authorities, and lawmakers, is to keep them safe by nurturing them into who they are meant to be. It's not our decision who that is or how it looks. Delaying a child from authority over their own body arrests their development and creates an unhealthy society. Passing this bill allows us to step into the future, to make a step towards positive mental health for our children, and to protect the life, liberty, and happiness of future trans and nonbinary adults through a strong and supportive educational foundation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, I have concerns about these guidelines that must be adopted by all VA School Boards by the 2021-22 school year. 1) The proposed rules treat parents like inherent problems instead of as partners. They go into detail about how to keep information from parents regarding the issues with which a child is dealing, even recommending keeping separate records so that communication with parents does not disclose the child’s preferred name and gender identity he or she uses at school. Instead, the default should be to inform parents about what is going on with their child and then, if parents threaten neglect or abuse, the authorities should be contacted and further information be potentially withheld from parents. Deliberately keeping parents uninformed about their child’s choices risks children being urged down a path of life-altering decisions without those closest to them involved in those decisions. 2) The proposed rules eliminate sex-segregated spaces where privacy is desired (locker rooms and other changing areas, bathrooms, sleeping arrangements, etc.). There are legitimate reasons why schools and other public facilities engage in sex-segregation when it comes to these areas. Female-only facilities are a key legacy of women’s rights movements and protect women against harassment, abuse, and assault. Girls (such as my daughters who attend VA public schools) or boys who desire privacy from the opposite sex when using the bathroom, changing clothes, or sleeping should not have the onus placed on them to request or find alternative arrangements or be stigmatized for wanting to have their legitimate desires respected. 3) The use of the phrase “sex assigned at birth” is problematic when referring to the anatomical differences between male and female has ideological origins rather than scientific ones. The use of this phrase implies that sex is not an objective criterion, but instead something that doctors and/or parents “assign” to a person. Gender dysphoria is a real phenomenon, but sex is real too. The existence of the former does not obliviate the need to be scientifically accurate regarding the latter. 4) Educators, administrators, and other school personnel should have access to the full spectrum of research, data, and personal experiences when it comes to children who experience gender dysphoria. The thread running through the proposed rules is that anything but full-throated affirmation of a child’s expressed desire is harmful to the student. Yet, the feelings of gender dysphoria that children experience often subside over time as they go through puberty. Some children, particularly during the difficult teen years, feel uncomfortable in their bodies. This is normal and usually dissipates over time. According to The Economist, “At least half a dozen medical studies show that between 61% and 98% of children presenting with gender-related distress were reconciled to their natal sex before adulthood” (see source at end). Many children experiencing gender dysphoria and who want to change their gender identity suffer from depression or are on the autism spectrum. Increasingly, children are being told a way to escape feelings of discomfort is to declare themselves “non-binary” or “gender-queer” and use different names, pronouns, and engage in gender-nonconforming behavior. They are being referred for treatment that can lead to irreversible damage to their healthy bodies. Some young people regret having gone down this road but cannot reverse the things done to their bodies. The stories of “detransitioners” are heart-wrenching (there are many online, please read about them)! The guidelines contain no words of caution. There are no heterodox viewpoints represented in the resource materials. These rules do not engage with the growing body of evidence that many teens, mostly girls, are starting down a life-altering road of puberty-blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgery on healthy bodies and are doing so because the culture, which includes our public schools, is worried that thinking critically about this difficult issue will be seen as non-affirming. In conclusion, I think the proposed rules should be amended to: 1) provide notice to parents unless there is evidence or threats of neglect or abuse; 2) protect sex-segregated spaces, particularly the hard-fought legal gains of females to have privacy from males; 3) use the word “sex” in place of “sex assigned at birth;” and 4) provide resources to schools that document the experiences of detransitioners, the phenomenon of rapid-onset gender dysphoria, and the number of young people who experience gender dysphoria but whose feelings do not persist. Source: The Economist (December 2020): “In 2018 Andrea Davidson’s 12-year-old daughter, Meghan, announced she was ‘definitely a boy’.…the family doctor congratulated her and asked what pronouns she had chosen, before writing a referral to the British Columbia Children’s Hospital. ‘We thought we were going to see a psychologist, but it was a nurse and a social worker,’ says Ms. Davidson (both her and her daughter’s names have been changed). ‘Within ten minutes they had offered our child Lupron’—a puberty-blocking drug. ‘They brought up the drug directly with our child, in front of us, without discussing it with us privately first.’ There was no mention of other mental-health issues, which are known to increase the likelihood of gender dysphoria, the feeling that you are in the wrong body. ‘There was no therapy on offer and we were just brushed aside when we raised it.’… You can read the rest here: https://segm.org/Keira_Bell_ruling_global_repercussions\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Evidence-based practices that affirm students' identities are shown to foster healthy development, academic achievement, and social-emotional skills.

Our daughters should not have to be uncomfortable in school locker rooms and bathrooms. The percentage of transgender students is very low; yet this state is willing to make an entire population of students feel uncomfortable to acquiesce to a few. This bill is also a violation of parental rights. Parents have the right to know what their minor child is doing at school, as well as how they might identify at school. This is an issue that families, as a whole, need to be informed about. Keeping information from parents is never a good idea and should not be standard practice.

It would be confusing and overtly lean towards even the youngest children opting towards these \"new\" gender explorations and choices. It would also lead to overt prejudice and discipline for those, students and adults, who do not support these new terms and treatment of others, which is not inclusive at all. I do support tolerance and treating all others with kindness and respect, but this is far more than that in one direction that would infringe on many individuals' rights to disagree. Even more so, children below the concrete operational stage in their development are not at the right stage yet to be understanding, much less making these life choices. Minors are also their parent's dependents and their parents deserve to be part of this and have a choice in what is taught to their young children (and even older children who are still minors under the law.)\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We seek changes to promote the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of residents of our state and to protect religious liberty and freedom of conscience for Virginia residents. We are concerned that, under the DOE’s guidelines, many Virginia students, parents, and school staff would no longer be able to love and care for those who identify as transgender in ways that follow their conscience or faith. While we write out of concern for freedom of religion, we believe that biology and medical research affirm what our conscience demands – that there are two genders, male and female, and they are made to align with the biological sex with which we are born. We recognize that some people experience a sense of disconnect between their gender and biological sex, and that gender dysphoria can be very painful and difficult. We believe that true love and compassion for children experiencing gender dysphoria or who identify as transgender can only occur in the context of our creator’s design for us as male and female, and that science and clinical research, while fallible, will ultimately support this truth. We are concerned that the Department’s draft guidelines would enforce an ideology of gender and sex that is harmful to children (by promoting the idea that their malleable, psychological sense of self should over-ride their biological sex, including to the point of undergoing medical interventions with irreversible outcomes) and discriminates against students, school staff and parents who may hold different beliefs due to their interpretation of science and/or religious convictions. Virginia has a long history of leadership in freedom of conscience and religion and we urge you to support and continue in this leadership. As you know, Virginia’s Constitution 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 “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.” We are troubled that the Department of Education would put forth policy that would have the effect of diminishing the civil capacities of those who disagree with it because of their religious beliefs. Consistent with Virginia’s constitution, and in support of continued freedom of conscience and religion, we ask you to make significant changes to the draft guidelines, which as written would suppress and impede the free exercise of religion and disadvantage parents whose teaching of their children is guided by religious beliefs that diverge from the guidelines. Specifically, we urge you to include a statement that “students, staff and parents remain free to speak and act consistent with their religious beliefs regarding sex and gender. Individuals will not be subject to discipline or otherwise be disadvantaged for expressing views based on these beliefs, including views on sex and gender identity. All students must be protected from bullying and harassment, whether from gender identity or religious belief, and all students must comply with policy against bullying, harassment and discrimination.” We urge you to make this change to the draft guidelines on transgender students in order to protect the freedom of conscience and religion which are foundational to the well-being of Virginia residents.

I continue to be in general support. We need to create equitable learning environments where all students are treated with fairness, respect, and are safe from harm. In addition, after I spent some more time with the document, I found that one policy would lead to the drastic reduction and/or complete elimination of gender-specific activities in schools. I am concerned that this particular approach does not adequately take into account an intersectional framework that addresses the realities and impacts of patriarchy, sexism, misogyny, and the ways these systems interact with other systems such as racism. Because of the impacts of patriarchy, sexism and misogny on students of all genders, I believe that there continues to be a need for gender-specific extracurricular activities in schools. I also believe that trans, genderqueer and nonbinary students should be allowed to choose the groups that they would like to join, and that they should have access to activities that are not gender-specific and that occur at the same time as those that are targeted to students of specific genders. I therefore would request an amendment to the existing policy that would address these needs. While I am now a college professor, an earlier part of my career involved working as an programs coordinator and a high school teacher at a Washington, D.C. public high school. During that time, I facilitated and oversaw a number of gender-specific programs for my students such as: a group for boys that met over lunch with staff from the organization Men Can Stop Rape - they worked with boys to help them develop a healthy sense of masculinity; approaches based on healthy power, and not violence and misogyny and an afterschool exercise program for girls where they could build confidence, talk about healthy self-esteem, and girls of all body shapes could exercise in a more judgement free-environment than they would have in a P.E. class with all genders. I also personally benefited from these kinds of programs --for example, I would not be the Black feminist leader I am today without the formation and leadership development I received from participating in a club that was started and led by and for Black girls in my high school. I still remember the pain many of us felt when it was forced to disband when a \"non-discrimination policy\" was used against us. While these programs were focusing on the unique needs of students that arose because of the intersections of social identity and systems of power and privilege, any students could opt in to participate. I believe that we still need such programs. For example, if there are eight afterschool activities offered at a school (art club, a drama program, a gaming club, and so on - most of which are not targeted to any gender), I would hope that a Boys Can Stop Rape and a Black Girls Matter club, for example would also be allowed among them - with all of these options inclusive of cis and trans boys and girls, as well as those who are genderqueer, trans and nonbinary.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

How quickly perception can change, especially as a child is growing, learning and developing. Not functional. Not sustainable. Not conducive for a learning environment. “The [Schools Division Designated Contact] shall be available to hear concerns from students or parents when complaints are not resolved at the school level.” How often will parents have no idea that there was conflict/reprehension/hard situation involving their child?

It is my right as a parent to instruct my children in the ways of our beliefs. I do feel transgender have rights as anyone else does but do not want the agendas forced upon families that are apposed. As a public school system you are required to accommodate all people not trade off ones right for another’s. The best way to do this is to be neutral in all aspects of religion and political agenda’s. Stick to traditional subject matter. These groups can carry on in there own spaces as churches and synagogues and Mosk do (to name a few). We are all equal and need to stop stereotyping!!!!!! This is creating more separation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We seek changes to promote the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of residents of our state and to protect religious liberty and freedom of conscience for Virginia residents. We are concerned that, under the DOE’s guidelines, many Virginia students, parents, and school staff would no longer be able to love and care for those who identify as transgender in ways that follow their conscience or faith. While we write out of concern for freedom of religion, we believe that biology and medical research affirm what our conscience demands – that there are two genders, male and female, and they are made to align with the biological sex with which we are born. We recognize that some people experience a sense of disconnect between their gender and biological sex, and that gender dysphoria can be very painful and difficult. We believe that true love and compassion for children experiencing gender dysphoria or who identify as transgender can only occur in the context of our creator’s design for us as male and female, and that science and clinical research, while fallible, will ultimately support this truth. We are concerned that the Department’s draft guidelines would enforce an ideology of gender and sex that is harmful to children (by promoting the idea that their malleable, psychological sense of self should over-ride their biological sex, including to the point of undergoing medical interventions with irreversible outcomes) and discriminates against students, school staff and parents who may hold different beliefs due to their interpretation of science and/or religious convictions. Virginia has a long history of leadership in freedom of conscience and religion and we urge you to support and continue in this leadership. As you know, Virginia’s Constitution 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 “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.” We are troubled that the Department of Education would put forth policy that would have the effect of diminishing the civil capacities of those who disagree with it because of their religious beliefs. Consistent with Virginia’s constitution, and in support of continued freedom of conscience and religion, we ask you to make significant changes to the draft guidelines, which as written would suppress and impede the free exercise of religion and disadvantage parents whose teaching of their children is guided by religious beliefs that diverge from the guidelines. Specifically, we urge you to include in the guidelines a statement that “students, staff and parents remain free to speak and act consistent with their religious beliefs regarding sex and gender. Individuals will not be subject to discipline or otherwise be disadvantaged for expressing views based on these beliefs, including views on sex and gender identity. All students must be protected from bullying and harassment, whether from gender identity or religious belief, and all students must comply with policy against bullying, harassment and discrimination.” We urge you to make this change to the draft guidelines on transgender students in order to protect the freedom of conscience and religion which are foundational to the well-being of Virginia residents.

As a social worker who has many transgendered clients, I feel strongly they need additional protections. Students who are transgender already experience many barriers to their mental health, including shame, anxiety, and fear about repercussions from others. Transgendered people are very misunderstood and subjected regularly to both subtle and over acts of aggression. This can include anything from being physically bullied to being the subject of \"jokes\". There is also an extremely high rate of suicide in the LGBTQIA population among students but this is especially true for transgendered students. Richmond could make a name for itself as an inclusive school district if they were to put these protections in place, and provide a safer space for a population that is often the subject of discrimination. Students could finally feel more comfortable being their true selves, and what district doesn't want that?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Gender identity is a life altering topic and enabling students to make these decisions is child abuse. To deny a God given gender will set a person up for emotional, physical and spiritual uncertainty. I realize that a call to embrace your God given gender is not at all popular these days, but it is done from a heart of concern and love for those struggling with identity. What I do not like most about these guidances is that they give no aid or support to the students in question. It seems more like a way to appease the populace.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

You can enforce anti-bullying policies without erroneously making others \"bullies.\" Can you imagine being a teacher who needs to send a note home? They risk a lawsuit because they accidentally divulge a student's school-used transgender pronoun to a parent or a lawsuit because they didn't use the appropriate school-used pronoun. They can't win for losing. My adult, transgender brother would never want anyone to be afraid to speak or communicate with him or others. We are taking our necessary and positive role models and making them the enemy. The last thing our children need is less positive influence. There can be middle ground without these extreme policies. Stop trying to take rights away from parents and adults. As a parent I accidentally call my children the wrong name and constantly have a slip-of-the-tongue when speaking to them. Can you imagine a teacher making a simple mistake and risking being sued? This is all absurd and completely ignorant.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It seems like an attempt to bend over backwards to push the ideology that anyone struggling with gender confusion is best served by indulging their confusion rather than helping them find satisfaction in their biological gender. While all students deserve respect and protection from bullying or harm, it seems these guidelines only seek to protect the interests of the student with gender confusion. Where is the concern for the girls who don’t want to share locker rooms with students with male genitalia? Where is the fairness is sports competition for girls competing with males? I believe these guidelines are not in the best interest of the majority of school students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Firstly much supposition, opinion, and one-side conversation characterize this document. In citing various studies (2018, 2020 see document p. 9) of young individuals claiming to be transgendered with data stating higher “rates of depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug use, and lower self-esteem” or “report feeling depressed or down over the past week….(and) report feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness in the past week” and finally “report trouble sleeping at night”. The VDOE however gives away their views in what becomes their conclusion the end paragraph on p. 9 by stating “Furthermore, a recent study found that socially transitioned transgender children who are supported in their gender identity have no elevations in depression and only minimal elevations in anxiety relative to population averages (Olson, Durwood, DeMeules, & McLaughlin, 2016).” There is no alternate conclusion presented. There is no follow up. When other studies (pew research, cdma etc.) and the experiences from the social, moral and religious fabrics of our nation are flashing warning signs of opposition on what has become part social experiment with children we must be diligent to listen to both sides of the issue and carefully move forward. Where is the concern for these students regarding puberty blocking drugs or surgeries or hormonal treatments that all seem to be unhealthy attempts to address gender dysphoria? Where is the concern about their family life and negative influences that might be driving them to unhealthy even addictive tendencies? Why isn’t he VDOE offering alternative counseling and support for students and families wanting to achieve acceptance of their born sex? The VDOE policies in this document remove the vast majority of the parental and community authority and responsibility to our schoolchildren. The second reason for opposition is that the policies clearly take one side of the issue…and ignores the rights of many students and families attending Virginia public schools. The document states “The First Amendment protects freedom of speech and expression. Schools may not prevent students from expressing their identity.” What about the FIRST part of the First Amendment? “(Congress) shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” What about those students and families who have deep convictions regarding gender and equality formed by their faiths? Where does the policy describe protection for their faith, freedom to exercise that faith in assent or disagreement with their rights to free speech? What about their rights to privacy in the classroom or the locker room for the vast majority of our students who are not considered LGBT? Lastly the document is filled with contradictions, failures in logic and simply lacks common sense in some cases. For example, the paragraph on p 10 states “For transgender students, acts of verbal harassment may include the intentional and persistent use of names and pronouns not consistent with their identity. Gender-based harassment may also include the disclosure of the student’s transgender status without their consent as this presents safety concerns for the student.” This statement seems contradictory in that in the first sentence we are directing persons to acknowledge the claimed gender of the student, yet in the second to not acknowledge the claimed gender, limiting free speech. In another statement “schools have a responsibility to respond to discrimination on the basis of sex, including on the basis of the student’s nonconformance to stereotyped notions of gender.” Where are the qualifications for this responsibility? What is the student’s nonconformance varies…one year they claim one sex, the next month they claim another and tomorrow they claim non-binary? The weakness of the argument is clearly seen. The polices are intent on “eliminat(ing) gender-based practices to the extent possible.” Why? If protecting one’s gender identity why not celebrate the claimed diversity? The ‘oldest practice in the book’ of male and female reproduction is just one of a staggering number of reasons that builds foundation on celebrating and continue gender-based practices for the fulfillment and safety of our students and families. Finally the “school staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom” (so biological males, or basically anyone of either born sex, can enter female restrooms?) and “supplies should be made available in all bathrooms to be gender-inclusive.” From ck12.org “Ovulation is part of the menstrual cycle, which occurs each month in a sexually mature female.” Is the person female? Is the person ‘not female’ if they decide to be? Again the weakness of the position is clearly seen in the light of well-founded facts of science biology. As part of a community and as a parent of students in the state of Virginia, I applaud Virginia’s Department of Education goal to ensure “a positive, safe, and nurturing learning environment for all students.” But the Education ‘Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools’ not only fails to include other positions and successful approaches to gender dysphoria; but simply falls to include ‘all’ students as it claims. These policies are heavily biased and one-sided where the majority of students and family’s opinions and beliefs are ignored. Freedom of speech is limited and there is no provision to allow discussion on other views based on one’s social, moral or religious makeup. Those who claim to be part of the LGBT community should be respected, protected and treated fairly as any other individual but n... [truncated]\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This proposal of our school systems teaching “sex being assigned at birth” is dangerous and will hurt our nation and young people. It’s not factual. Not scientific. The child’s brain and emotions are being developed in these years and they need stability and where is there stability if even the very truth and core of who you are, your gender, is being questioned? Statistics show that transgenders are more likely to have depression and commit suicide and those who get the operation to “become” the other gender aren’t full satisfied and left feeling more empty than before.

It is wrong to allow a male child dress/undress in a locker room with my daughter and vice versa for a female child to dress/undress in a locker room with my son, more or less, participate, engage in activity with the opposite sex. God made us MALE and FEMALE- He created human beings in His image. For the education system of our nation to encourage this type of behavior is sickening. That tax dollars are being spent to support a one sided ideology is sickening. What about my child (the one who is uncomfortable with the opposite sex)? When does he/she become a victim of hostile environment being created for them? STOP! This is not okay. It is sickening to think that we are aiding and embedding this type of behaviors in our children. Children body/brain are still growing (some of them cannot even put their shoes on the right foot), the allowing of a child to act out \"just because they feel different\" is a poor judgment on the adults that support this type of behavior. Do we allow a child to touch a hot stove because he/she wants to or do we educate on why not to touch the stove. Gender confusion is something that this nation is teaching our children; we allow the family to be torn down (mommy & mommy; daddy & daddy); love is love (not the way God designed it). The family ordained by God as a husband and wife (mommy & daddy) is being stripped away in the demoralizing society. When do we as the Christian family become a minority - when does it stop? or does it? I would never have thought I would have to worry that a man could follow my daughter in to a restroom because he feels feminine. I am DISGUSTED! We are totally pushing away from the foundation of creation and what we were created for; this nation will be held accountable, maybe not by the world's law but by the LAW!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We deserve protection from the vile people who try to dehumanize and sexualize children's bodies just because they are trans bodies. Let kids use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity. Degender dress codes so they can apply to all students fairly. I went to a school that didn't provide training to teachers in how to handle a student's transition and resulted in endless disrespect and embarrassment for the student. Continuing to ignore transgender people within schools won't make us go away, but will instead cause life-long resentment and trauma with schooling.

As a longtime educator at both the secondary and higher education level, I have worked with students who identify as transgender, and while I have great compassion for them, I do not believe their mental health issues should direct school policies which could adversely affect all students. As a parent of three children in Virginia public schools, I am strongly opposed to allowing students with gender confusion to utilize locker rooms and restrooms with students of the opposite sex. I believe this is bad policy and will create problems we cannot even imagine in both the near and long-term future. Please stand up for Virginia's families ; these proposals threaten parental rights in choosing how to raise their own children and seek to force social standards that a small minority ascribe to onto all of us in the public school system. If these measures pass, many families will feel they have no choice but seek other educational opportunities, outside the control of the state.

I feel another bathroom should be created as a unisex bathroom for whomever needs it. I feel like this is asking for bad things to happen and people to take advantage of being able to use whichever bathroom they choose. Especially in a middle school and high school where kids are curious. Kids may take advantage of the bathroom policy to have sex in the bathrooms or rape other kids. I am not saying a transgender person will be the one doing this but this is opening up a door by having someone abuse the policy. I think it would be in the best interest for all students to just have unisex bathrooms added and then this will eliminate any person or group of people to be uncomfortable. If necessary even make a unisex locker room as well. I don't feel like it is okay to take away someone else's rights to feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings by giving someone else the right to be allowed to do something that can be accomadated differently.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

All students deserve to be treated fairly and respectfully, and this is a step in the right direction. It does not force anyone’s beliefs on others, it merely protects our transgender students from being mistreated based on their gender identity. Whether or not individual parents or teachers believe it’s ok to be transgender is irrelevant. Some students are transgender. All students deserve to be treated with respect. Therefore, I strongly support these guidelines to protect all students from discrimination. As a teacher, my job is to create a safe environment for learning and growth, and I believe that these guidelines will help us do so.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Sex is not assigned at birth, it is determined by DNA at the moment of fertilization. It can be discovered by a blood test at 10 weeks and via ultrasounds as early as 14 weeks. THIS is science. This proposal is an outrageous pseudoscientific overreach that severs foundational parent-child relationships and replaces them with an activist and dishonest bureaucracy. This one-sided approach to a problem (that is being created and increased by school systems, themselves) is not an effective way to deal with crucial issues of human sexuality. Many of the citations are from LGBT groups who generated the data with zero substantiation and pose a serious conflict of interest as they SELL the \"gender spectrum\" curricula (e.g. GLSEN) that is being recommended. The First Amendment, according to the Proposal's authors, allows students to \"express\" their gender identity. Well, it's the same amendment that allows Americans to verbally and legislatively oppose such an ideology. This proposal is reckless and needlessly drives a wedge between students and their parents who are the ones responsible for every aspect of that precious child's life. As parents, we're the ones who deal with the fallout of harmful decisions. We're the ones who have to clean up the mess of educators who aren't (naturally) tasked with providing for that child's overall well-being. It is not the role of the government to assume the role of parent(s), replace the foundation of family, dictate what one's religious beliefs may be, or promote junk science as a means of healing. No matter where you are on the political spectrum, this Proposal is irresponsible and in violation of numerous federal laws. You can't fight alleged discrimination by implementing more distortion and discrimination. Our children deserve better.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Schools should stick to teaching what has been taught from day 1. You have no business getting involved in matters of sexuality considering you didn't create men and women to begin with. There are 2 sexes, male or female. If you don't know which you are, I would suggest you look between your legs but if you still can't figure it out because you are so engrossed in this worlds view of things, let me explain. Men have penises and women have vaginas and no, even if you could surgically alter that, the fact remains they were born that way and that's what God intended them to be. I am highly opposed to passing this into our school systems and absolutely appalled that you think you all have the right to promote a child doing something without their parents consent. If they are of legal age, they can do as they please and that is up to them but you have no business sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. You are setting our children up to being abused on massive levels but you obviously don't care or you wouldn't consider such an asinine law. It's obvious that you all are trying to destroy the family unit and that you're overstepping your boundaries. Leave our children alone and get back to doing what you're paid to do. One last thing, you better be reading your Bible and getting right with God because this kind of thing will not be tolerated by Him on judgment day and you will pay for it when you stand before Him. Stop trying to fit in with the world because this is not your final resting place.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It needlessly sexualizes children and confuses what should be a period of instruction in facts relevant to their growth and academic improvement. The only people who support children having a \"sexuality\" are pedophiles - keep this away from Virginia schools! It also clearly violates the religious freedoms and beliefs of millions of Virginians of Christian, Jewish and Muslim faith, whose tax dollars will be diverted to indoctrinate their own children against their beliefs. These troubling policies proposed by VDOE are totally unworkable and will force all students, faculty and administrators to comply with an empirically false view of sex and gender, even if it directly conflicts with their own fundamental beliefs.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Not back!\nBody:\nI’m honestly stunned at how long it took us to get here! This entire policy is something that has been needed and available to students for such a long time. There is zero reason anyone should ever have to feel uncomfortable in their own skin. As adults, we should be working to create an environment where we help alleviate those extremely difficult experiences as much as we are able to. Growing up is already a daunting experience. Adding the pressures that society can place on these particular things, even more so. This policy helps all students to feel that they are accepted for who they are, valued, respected, comfortable, and treated in ways that amplify and nurture a confidence will stay with them all their lives. Those are things you should want for any and every kid. I also love that we are looking to give our teachers and leaders as much information and tools as possible to do this. That’s a huge step for so many reasons! These changes don’t seem as though they would be hard to apply, either. (At least, in my opinion.) However, they are monumental to these kids and that is what’s important.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Never focus on accommodating power majority. In this context, power majority are cisgender and transphobic. Do not be deterred and distracted by hateful language in this comments section, in professional meetings among politicians and school decision makers, and from parents and community members. Instead , provide protective factors for transgender people to prevent and reduce cisgender and heterosexual abuse of power, harmful laws, policies and procedures, and hate crimes against transgender people, gender non-identifying people, and gender non-conforming people. This is the time to be intentional and overt in making changes to all aspects of education including interactions while in school buildings, harmful cisgender-centric and transphobic language, restrooms, dress code, and learning materials used in classes. Unfortunately, many school officials and many school teachers across the nation are transphobic and find overt and covert ways to be harmful. It is necessary that state decision makers and school decision makers stop being tricked by smiles and stop allowing people to harmfully claim \"freedom of speech,\" \"gender traditionalism,\" and \"freedom of religion.\" Many adults are cisgender-centric and transphobic bullies yet claim to want anti-bullying programs for children. Harmfully abusive hypocrisy. Signed, 365 Diversity\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It would force school personnel and students to comply with a view of sex and gender that they have a religious and/or constitutional right to disagree with.

I include in that list deciding the question as to whether one is a boy or a girl. When children reach adulthood, they can decide for themselves who they are and take whatever steps they wish to as a consequence of that. But children are and should be treated differently from adults for a reason. They are not mature enough to make such determinations. In fact they should be protected from making such decisions until they are fully aware of what it means. I am also appalled at the thought of punishing staff or students for not using the pronoun a student prefers. An individual can prefer whatever pronoun they like, but they cannot insist that a teacher or a fellow student use anything but the pronoun that corresponds to the child's birth gender. And thirdly, how can you force young girls to share their bathrooms with boys? Even if those boys claim to be girls? Physically they are boys. Why punish 99% of a school to accommodate the preferences of a fraction of one percent? Finally, when the school is placed in loco parentis, it behooves them to inform the parents of any event that could impact a child's well being. If you want to drive parents away from public schools with all that that implies (including an unwillingness to pay their tax money to schools and administrators who implement such policies) go ahead. You are making the best case I have yet heard for school choice.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

In other words, not only could a school leave the parents out of decisions and deliberations profoundly impacting our children; it could also deliberately deceive us. This quote puts a big question mark on the genuineness of the intention to help students. Why are you trying to usurp parents authority and responsibility over their OWN children. You do not own our children! Parents who support this legislation now, wait until it's something YOU happen to disagree with. Then you will lose your right to know what is going on with your own children. Can't we all agree that as parents, we have the RIGHT to know what is going on with our children while they are at school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This will take away more parental rights in the lives of our children. It’s completely absurd to take away the rights of parents to know what is happening in our kid’s lives during their school day. In regards to trans students being allowed in any restroom of their choosing, this is just completely unsafe for any children, no matter their gender! The best solution for trans students is to have a unisex bathroom and locker room in every school. Each and EVERY student should feel safe in the restroom, not just trans students. As a Crohn’s disease patient, I spent A LOT of time in the restroom as a student. I can’t begin to explain to you how fearful I would be going into a restroom in school now, knowing a boy could legally follow me in, no questions asked. In regards to trans students being allowed to play in any gender sport, this just logically doesn’t make sense. Boys who have been through puberty are naturally stronger than girls. This is just the truth. You give trans students who choose to play in girls sports a HUGE advantage. It’s not fair to those girls who might be working hard to receive a sports scholarship for college one day. Let’s make actual education the focus of our children’s school day, rather than political agendas.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This puts developing girls in awkward situations and possibly threatening situations! How does this possibly help anyone? Additionally, I am opposed to children being treated differently in schools than how the parents are teaching them about sexuality. This is not the schools place to trespass on the family and home!

I believe that what the VA Dept. of Education is trying to do is protect the rights of LGBTQ+, specifically Transgender, youth and provide guidance to the public school systems regarding the treatment & specific needs of these students, NOT take away anyone's parental rights. Virginia is clearly lacking in updated guidelines that can assist Principals, Teachers, Counselors & School Staff with implementing standard practices for these at-risk youth in our schools. The anxiety, depression, & suicidal risks for these youth are at least 3 to 4 times as high as their peers. We really cannot afford to sit back and maintain the status quo. I realize many people were raised to believe that gender is binary, i.e. there are males and females. I am one of those people. However, I currently have an LGBTQ+ student, and I'm learning that the way my generation views gender norms, gender identity, and gender expression is quite antiquated. If parents, teachers and school administrators don't educate themselves about these societal changes, how can we possibly relate to or understand what our youth are dealing with, let alone create policies & practices that support these students in our school system? Even if this policy is not perfect, I would wholeheartedly like to see it passed to protect my child and other students in the Virginia Public School System.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It may seem charitable to listen to children when they are struggling with their \"gender identity\" but it is not. Boys and girls are defined by their sex, which is defined by their very DNA. This is measurable. A constant. And as such should be the basis of our legislation. Not the opinion or fancy of a minor. Furthermore, the utter chaos that will inevitable follow from allowing boys to enter a girls locker room depending on their preference is unfathomable. This proposal does not serve to protect children, it simply creates more situations in which children will be harmed physically and psychologically.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a result, transgender, non-binary and otherwise gender-expansive people are often stigmatized and not understood. It is time to create welcoming and inclusive environments in our schools for ALL students. Everybody deserves complete acceptance and equality. I believe that gender diversity education should be part of K-12 curriculum in VA. Once people become aware of the true diversity of gender, it will become attainable to create society where it is safe for everyone to be visible, supported, represented and acknowledged.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is my belief that transgender students deserve the same respect provided all students in our VA public school system. They should not be discriminated against or harassed based on their identities and if we need more policies in place, I’m in support. Over the years we have learned quite a bit about the importance of inclusion and the detriment of exclusion. Should we not strive to be more inclusive in our school-wide practices? I believe we should and I believe this is a step in the right direction. Specifically, I agree with encouraging school systems to change dress code descriptions to be less gender specific/stereotypical and more in line with which parts of the body should be covered. I also believe that the policy’s emphasis on working through transgender issues with families in mind is critical – supporting transgender students and their families and helping them navigate these policies in a safe, and private manner (when preferred), on a case-by-case basis, is important. I assume the role school counselors play in this will be extremely important. All kids are different and a \"one size fits all approach\" to issues surrounding gender identity does not work. As a parent of children who attend public schools in VA, I want my children to understand the importance of treating others with kindness, respect, and empathy. All kids, including transgender kids, deserve a safe space, and for many, that is our school system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is important that all youth are able to learn without harassment, discrimination or fear of violence. 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, and were more likely to miss school out of concern for their safety. Furthermore, we know that LGBTQ youth experience higher rates of homelessness and are five times more likely to attempt suicide than their non LGBTQ peers. Through my time as a volunteer, social worker, and nurse I have directly seen these statistics in practice. These policies will help the safety of students and lay out how schools can prevent gender-based harassment or address it effectively to support and protect students to ensure everyone has equal access to education.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Not the state.\nBody:\nI certainly support one's rights to determine who they chose to be. As far as sexual identity issues, that is for the parent's to discuss with their children, in the privacy of \"home\". The school and state HAVE NO LEGAL RIGHT NOR SHOULD THEY HAVE ANY LEGAL RIGHTS to dictate how parent's discuss sexual matters, or sexual identity with their children. Parents are currently able to opt out of \"family ed\" classes to discuss the issue of sex and procreation at home if they chose. By setting up a requirement that TEACHERS OR THE STATE can control the dialogue on topics that are suited to parental involvement (or worse, punish parents for their own decisions on these matters concerning their minor children) effectively places the children in the care and custody of the state. This is a terrifying concept and is akin to practices implemented by the Stasi in East Germany.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

But policies that ignore the effect on all other students are a terrible idea. Are we trying to make all students confused about their gender? It seems like that is the agenda here. Speaking from personal experience on this issue, the Fairfax County school board has intentionally ignored the overwhelming number of comments and concerns by parents, in favor of highlighting and forcing the sexual agendas of a minority on everybody. Kindergarteners have no need for such discussions! Young teenagers have not even been given time to develop on their own before the schools are forcing these radical beliefs as matters of public discussion. Our whole society is sex-crazy, and the schools are pushing the bandwagon! Let kids get to 18 before we make them deal with this - then at least they can make an adult decision. If we were intentionally trying to destroy our kids, we could hardly come up with a way that is more effective than putting transgender in every school and class. Where are the adults here? Please STOP this transgender initiative.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

More than four in five (83%) trans young people have experienced name-calling or verbal abuse; three in five (60%) have experienced threats and intimidation; and more than a third (35%) of trans young people have experienced physical assault. More than one in four (27%) trans young people have attempted to commit suicide and nine in ten (89%) have thought about it. 72% have self-harmed at least once. The numbers speak for themselves. Pro-life means we also have to protect the lives of trans-people.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Really, folks, let's all just take a deep breath and try to treat everyone with respect and kindness, even if we don't understand what they may be going through. All students, of every race and socio-economic class, male and female, gay and straight, cis and trans, native born and immigrant, documented or not, and whatever other distinctions I've forgotten, are children of God – and people who claim to be religious should not be so quick to judge, so quick to condemn others. Let's protect all students – especially the most vulnerable – from bullying and harassment, whether it's by other students or by angry parents or random trolls. It's the right thing to do, and I'm glad the Virginia Department of Education is working to protect all of its students, and to help them all to thrive.

Dead naming is a big problem for me at the moment and since I am going to high school next year and will probably not have any people I know in my classes I really don't want to be dead named because of what my papers say so it would be really great for me and help me feel more comfortable if others won't know my deadname. Bathrooms are really strange for me because I have been out for about a year which means the pandemic started before bathrooms could confuse me but knowing that I could possibly not need to worry if one day I need to go into the bathroom not assigned to me because of my gender assigned at birth would be so amazing. I also thing the dress code part would be great considering most of the time the people who get dress coded are girls and it's for having shorts that are too short or something along those lines, maybe if guys get dress coded it could open up more peoples eyes about that topic. Also having teachers get trained for LGBTQ+ situations will probably help a lot when people who aren't out are in a weird situation which is a pretty big thing when you have to come out anyway. Thank you for getting all of these things started.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

A school is to provide academic learning not gender identity. Because one or two children/students feel uncomfortable with their gender does not mean that all students/children must endure their confusion. Why inflict the deviance of one child on the entire class? It is not right for the school to act as loco parentis.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I write in support of these policies as a mom, former PTA and County Council PTA president, and family friend of two children who have transitioned successfully with the support of their families and educators. A former teacher of mine explained that respect is “treating people the way THEY wish to be treated, not the way YOU want to treat them.” I think about the way school administrators showed respect for one of our family friends when he was transitioning. He was an advanced academic student on the autism spectrum. Once he made the decision to transition, lack of support from his educators would have had grave consequences. Thankfully he attended a high school whose principal showed respect and worked with our friend to determine what he needed so that he could focus on his education. These model policies support all students because they guide school divisions and their employees in keeping the focus on education. Following these policies helps equip principals, teachers and staff with the guidance and resources needed to provide equitable education. A side effect is that in following these policies, educators will eliminate potential for unwanted attention for students who are transgender, and the distractions to other students that would result. I do hope that school divisions expand on the model policy for professional development and include more than their mental health professionals in ongoing training opportunities. As we strive to support the variety of people who identify as LGBTQ+ our understanding and ability to identify emerging issues deepens. Training helps build confidence among our professionals and would surely be appreciated by classroom teachers. Many people, for a variety of reasons, struggle with the reality that some people do not identify with the gender assigned at birth. Many of these people are vocal, and their collective opposition to equitable education for transgender students often shares the sharply negative tones of our national discourse. And so I cheer your efforts to keep educators’ focus on providing equitable education, in compliance with Virginia law. The model policies in themselves are informative and will help educate the thousands of people reading them, and the public servants charged with enacting them. Thank you for your work.

No matter where a person stands as far supporting or opposing gender neutrality, it is not a topic that should be woven into the K-12 curriculum. And as far as withholding any information from a child's parent...that is absolutely ridiculous! If a child is having trouble with gender Identity, the parents need to know so they can provide whatever help their child needs. This bill is absolutely 100% wrong! Our children deserve so much more!!! Teach them what will help be a productive member of society and assist them in college and leave sexual identity/orientation out!!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Whether or not it’s believed that gender and sex are two different things is not a matter for public debate and therefore all comments and opinions expressed in this town hall to that fact are besides the point. Accommodations are made in schools for many reasons that go beyond those covered by a protected legal status. An IEP can be created for a gifted child who has trouble sitting still or for child to take a short break when feeling overwhelmed. If the majority of society, or even just a very loud minority, decide this is coddling and not helpful to children in general we don’t remove the IEP. We do what’s right for the individual child rather than some esoteric societal “I don’t know if it’s true but my gut tells me so and I was raised that way” belief. For those who argue that accommodating trans kids needs is catering to a small group at the expense of the majority, then they are missing the point of why we have any protected legal statuses and anti-discrimination laws. It is noble for the strong to defend the week and it is patriotic for the majority to defend the rights of any minority.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I do not care what people identify with and I do not mind using different pronouns (although sometimes it is hard when they go back and forth from week to week). I do mind for how this can open things up for predators. I do worry about how much easier this could cause students to be violated. On a different level, how does this not infringe on the first amendment? PLEASE REJECT THIS BILL.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

LAWSUITS!!!!! VA public education will end up having to let go of employees and teachers when the attendance significantly drops, if this passes as currently written. I think most people agree Transgenders need to be treated equally in terms of bullying and harassement... I think most are fine with their choice of clothing (as long as it follows current school rules)- the main issues are the restrooms and locker rooms and TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE that parents would not want their children EXPOSED to body parts of opposite gender and vice versa! How could ANY PARENT with any ethics support this? AND how can any parent support the school system not notifying them about their own child. This is a dangerous path... what else will they keep from parents in the future. VDOE needs to rethink and go to the table and update this policy to remove much of the current policy- develop uni-sex restrooms and locker rooms, if you feel that is necessary. VDOE job is to support EDUCATION - not be a part of BIG GOVERNMENT!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This truly poses a risk to girls especially since a biological boy is generally able to overpower the female sex. Without being able to question the validity of how a young person truly identifies and which sex they are attracted to, how can you offer protection to those who want natural privacy and safety? School age kids, especially middle schoolers are extremely susceptible and going through so many emotional and biological changes naturally, that they are very easily confused. Would not want my child to be pushed in a certain direction based solely on any awkward changes that are very natural in the development of their biological sex.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Specifically I think that we need to have single use bathrooms. I think it presents a danger to transgender and non transgender students to have anyone of any gender to be able to walk in and out of any bathroom. As a mother of two daughters I want them to feel safe and comfortable using the bathroom. Further I disagree with the idea that staff and admin can keep information from parents. The school should be a support to parents and families and help them navigate the issues of gender and offer resources, not be the overarching final word on the issue and hide the issue from parents.

I support the Model Policies on the Treatment of Transgender Students, because I want my daughter to attend schools where all students are afforded safety, equality, and respect. Whatever my child's orientation and gender identity turn out to be, she will be enriched by attending schools where all genders and orientations are welcome. Study after study (and the lived experience of the trans and nonbinary people in my own life) confirm that schools are vital. When they provide a safe and supportive environment, students who are trans/NB are able to thrive and help elevate everyone around them as well. But when schools are a site of bullying and discrimination, especially under official sanction, it is not just the education of those students that is harmed, but their long-term mental health. Schools where discrimination is sanctioned and bullying tolerated breed harm not just the victims themselves but to society at large when those attitudes inevitably spill out of the school itself. I am proud that Virginia is taking steps to protect trans and nonbinary students, and strongly support these policies being enacted. The beneficiaries will not just be trans and nonbinary students themselves, but all of us.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am opposed to this proposition because of the broad wording that makes no allowance for those who are NOT transgender and who would be losing their rights to privacy for example in the bathroom etc. I am opposing this because of the broad wording that makes no allowance for the rights of parents to be made aware of what's going on with children under the age of 16. Let's support love and compassion but protect the rights of ALL children not just the minority. I feel like in an effort to protect them minority you've gone way overboard and stripped the majority of their rights. IT IS ALSO PERVERSE FOR GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC SCHOOL OFFICIALS TO COUNCIL CHILDREN TO QUESTION THE WAY THEY WERE BORN. SOME WILL GO DOWN THAT ROAD NO MATTER WHAT WE DO. GOOD COUNSEL GIVEN AT A YOUNG AGE CAN SAVE MANY PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE. YOUNG CHILDREN WHO ARE GENDER CONFUSED ARE NOT NECESSARILY TRANSGENDER : THEY ARE simply CONFUSED. THEY MAY NEED COUNSELING. LET'S ENCOURAGE COUNSELING BUT NOT PRESUME TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO SEEK A TRANSGENDER AGENDA. Again let's think about the rights of ALL children: the majority of which are not gender confused.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We need to accept and protect the people, and even more so the children, of our marginalized communities. I know trans people, I work beside them everyday. They are normal people with the same wants and needs as every other person. They have families and children and friends and the unwillingness to allow them to live normally is absolutely pathetic.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a mother of 4 children ranging from 4-12, and as an LPC therapist, who practiced in VA for 10 years working with teens, I feel these transgender guidelines take it too far. While bullying is never acceptable, neither is alienating a parent from their child nor infringing on ones constitutional right of freedom of religion. It is wrong to take away a parents rights and responsibility to raise their own children until they are 18, as they see best fit. Based on science, children and teenagers brains are not fully developed, their reasoning skills and ability to be able to view decisions from various perspectives are still being developed and honed. It is both wrong and abusive to remove a parents God given authority in their own child’s life by implementing guidelines that would encourage secrets about gender identity kept from parents. Those secrets would potentially destroy a family for generations. Not to mention, a parents job is to guide their child. If their parents are kept in the dark, who is guiding these children/teens? Who? It is also unconstitutional to require students and/or teachers/staff/volunteers whose religion prohibits them from seeing transgender as biblical to denounce their own faith. We have the freedom to worship and requiring a student to go against their value system is a form of oppression so severe that it will create lasting consequences that we haven’t fully studied. What you are proposing is a slippery slope. Essentially, you are saying whatever a child wants to do with their body they should be allowed to do, in secret. And that their parents could be reported to CPS if they try to intervene. I guess that logic would apply to a severely depressed suicidal student? Or an anorexic or a bulimic student that wants to vomit up their school lunch every day, or a drug addicted student who wants to ingest any and every mood altering substance they can get their hands on, or a student who wants to cut themselves to relieve pain?? I understand that it is a helpless feeling to watch a child struggle to figure out who they are and to watch their parents make decisions that we disagree with, but your guidelines would be irresponsible and detrimental to a family and to a students long term health as well as open up the door to future alienation for parents in other circumstances. We do not have all the control nor are we meant to have all the control. Students come from families and until they are adults, the parents have every right to know what is going on with their child. No secrets. As a therapist, I understand firsthand what it is like to witness a parent make bad decisions that poorly affect their child(ren). However, it is not my job or my responsibility to raise their child; my job is to listen, and walk alongside them. In conclusion, I strongly oppose these transgender guidelines. Students are not adults, yet, and should not be treated as such when making a gender decision. Also, Students, teachers, staff and volunteers should have the freedom to not have their values or religion infringed upon. These are constitutional rights and the guidelines you are proposing violate them. Thank you for your time and consideration.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Regardless of how anyone tries to identify, you can’t deny that there are only two sexes. Allowing people to imagine themself as different in my opinion is supporting self-hatred. Embracing this mentality is actually denying them the help that they need. Furthermore children cannot possibly be subjected to this at such an early age. All it will do is create confusion. I have no problem with females playing male sports, but allowing them to take their shirts off is ridiculous! You are inviting perversion to wreak havoc! Our job as adults is to protect our children, help them. With these policies we are only subjecting them to more confusion, to perversion, and forcing an ideal on them that isn’t truth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We have sunken to an all time low level as human beings when we dare harm out children. So we change bathroom and dressing room rules for the few gender confused, and involve children that have no idea what is going on. Haven’t we already taken society down the road to absolute destruction by disobeying the laws of God and nature. This is all to please a few. We remove the rights of the majority in order to please a minority. This is against our Constitution and the laws of the Creator. I implore you to vote against it. Then you will require teachers to keep secrets of their minor students from their parents. Did the United States just get renamed Germany of WWII era? Please think long and hard about this. You might want to check a few history books of that timeframe and reconsider your actions. You are representing Virginians.

All too often, unfortunately, people tend to disregard anything that they are less than informed on. To make a decision that is best for every child is to first make a decision that gives every child a fair shot. In looking at the suicide rates among students most effected by this proposal, you will see that there are a staggering amount of cases. In comparing this to the statistical likelihood of the opinions that serve as fear tactics, you will see the actual truth. One is more likely to take their own life than to pose a threat to another student. I can't say for a fact that this has never happened. I can say for certain that excluding this group of individuals is much more detrimental than the \"What-if\" scenarios that I have seen. To continue to allow trans youth to fall to the wayside is no longer an option. Just because people don't agree with them doesn't make them disposable. It would be an absolute disservice to any student seeking support for these matters to allow school sanctioned bullying from children and parents alike to go any farther. These children may come to school everyday scared and hopeless, you have the power to change this. If we as a community continue to push for these students to be demonized then we will raise yet another generation that will continue this hate filled rhetoric. It is important to me that you read the comments from people in the psychiatric feild. Read the comments from scholars who know undoubtedly the damage that can be caused by allowing someone's opinion of things such as gender identity to become normal practice. This isn't a difference of opinion, this is right and wrong. This isn't endangering students, this is helping students long forgotten to flourish without becoming a statistic.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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

It is not the school system's job to enforce this radical agenda on families, and especially not on people's children, especially without their consent. To call yourselves educators and then to teach concepts that are contrary to science makes me to call unto question what exactly you consider your role to be in the formation of young minds. I am against my children being forced to share a bathroom with those who are of the opposite sex biologically and to have to potentially observe the body parts of the opposite sex. This goes against what we believe religiously about modesty and is a violation of our freedom to exercise out faith as protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The bathroom policy, the ability for biologically female individuals to go topless, etc, also puts children at greater risk for sexual assaults. To promote the denial of biological science in the name of tolerance shows that you are greatly breaking the boundaries as educators, and the idea that parents will not be informed or consulted also shows that you reject that they are the primary educators of their children. The school system needs to stick to teaching fact and not to teaching what is en vogue today.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am appalled that parent rights are being superceded by the forced agenda of the LGBTQ community. I am angry that I or others are forced to use a variety of pronouns and titles or risk being taken to court. I am dismayed that children are going to be confused by what is being proposed and \"gently\" urged to reconsider their own identity. I am concerned that only the like-minded were part of this \"group think.\" I am certain that any one of us disagreeing with this proposal will be labeled bigoted or small-minded or cruel. In special education placement deliberations, parents, teachers and others are required to look to the least restrictive environment. I believe a similar approach needs to be used to allow those not in the mainstream to have accommodations made that address their needs while not negatively impactng the education or values of the others. Schools should be welcoming to ALL students. I urge both sides of the aisle and this issue to consider this proposal as an over-reaching draconian response to the needs of a few.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

All students have the right to a safe and supportive learning environment that is free of harassment and discrimination. As a school psychologist living and working in Virginia, I stand by the National Association of School Psychologists statement that, “all persons, including children and adolescents who are diverse in their sexuality and gender identities, expression, and/or presentation, have the inherent human right to equal opportunity and a physically and psychologically safe environment within all institutions.” According to the CDC, although transgender students make up less than 2% of the student population across the nation, these students are at a significantly increased risk for being victims of bullying, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, self harm, and suicide. With approximately 56 million students in K-12 schools across the US that means that approximately 1,120,000 students are being placed in a significant health risk without the protections and support provided by these policies. The CDC reports \"Given that violence victimization is a documented risk factor for substance use and suicide risk, implementation of interventions focused on reducing the victimization of transgender adolescents might be a key strategy for improving overall health.\" Even if you do not understand transgender students and families, please understand that by voting against protecting their rights as students and citizens that you are placing them at an increased risk of health and safety.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The proposed guidelines and recent legislative changes claim support from the American Psychiatric Association (APA) as reason to adopt these changes. However the APA has historically, accurately, referred to transgender topics and gender confusion. They have only changed their definition to support how someone feels. Rather, they should have remained objective to mental illness and confusion rather than subjective feels, which are even more confusing during the adolescent ages. Requiring staff to allow bathroom and locker access based on subjective identity endangers the well-being of students. Further, these guidelines prevent staff from even inquiring about entering private facilities. This further is dangerous particularly for female students who will have their privacy violated. Please stop this process and readdress.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As an educator & an ally, I have seen first hand how important it is for ALL students to feel safe in their learning environment. Students who identify as nonbinary or who are transgender are just as worthy of an education as any other student. I have both friends & students who identify in these ways & I have heard their stories. Many of transgender & nonbinary friends recount terrible stories of harassment & bullying they experienced in school. I've had students who I've seen being mistreated, made fun of, etc. & it is truly heartbreaking. It is critical that school systems step in to ensure protections are in place for these individuals. GLSEN's 2019 National School Climate Survey shows that transgender and nonbinary students feel less safe at school and miss school more often because of feeling unsafe compared to their cisgender peers. Transgender and nonbinary students also report higher rates of victimization and discrimination than their peers, especially regarding respect for their names and pronouns and access to bathrooms and locker rooms. Transgender and nonbinary students should feel safe and included in their learning communities. No one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against in their school, which is a place where they are supposed to be able to learn and be a part of a community that accepts them for who they are. Schools teach students how to succeed but they also teach students how to treat each other. This proposed rule will make Virginia schools a better place to learn for transgender and nonbinary students, which creates a better learning environment for all. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students. Sincerely, Emi Scott\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This means that your policy is endangering my two girls who attend Virginia public schools and they could be sexually molested or assaulted easily by an male (biological or otherwise) in what should be a safe space for them (restroom or locker room). While my hope is that this does not happen to any child, it seems inevitable that it will happen. Although. not to my children as we are dedicated (along with about 100 other families in my area) to remove our children from the Virginia public school system due to what we see as an immediate threat to their safety and well being. In addition your policies are putting parents and teachers at odds with each other and with their children. Your vision to empower and influence children to choose a transgender lifestyle is disturbing. While also endangering all children in the schools restrooms and locker rooms. While I am supportive of transgender and the entire LGTBQ community, I do not understand why or how these policies protect them or help them, more likely expose them to more discordance with their families. You are likely to find yourselves embattled and sued over crimes that about to be committed on school property. We will no longer be part of the public school community due to safety risks you are imposing on our children. As far as school sports: You are putting the physical safety of our girls at risk. There is a biological difference in boys strength and power due to biological hormones that cannot be denied. You cannot erase those differences no matter how you might want to do so. You are trampling on my girl children's rights to have sports that are safe and fair (in a competitive sense) by allowing biological boys to play in women's sports. Girl athletes work very hard at their sports and their efforts should not be erased due to the states desire to play gender identity politics. Biological girls also have rights and should have protections afforded to them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is unacceptable and is a private family issue, not a public education decision. “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. Abuse at home is unacceptable for all children but the education system should not determine abuse/neglect on student “gender identity” alone. VDOE’s proposed definition of gender identity maintains that it is fluid, as would be an educator’s view of an unsupportive versus abusive home situation.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They shouldn't fear mockery or isolation for being honest about themselves, so working together, as a community, to provide everybody with the necessary tools for understanting and inclusion is a goal to achieve. I cellebrate that the government takes a step forward in such matters by passing a law. It's the first step towards equality in society, that takes time, but hopefully, we can walk together to it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I strongly oppose any legislation that permits children to do anything without parental consent. I strongly oppose any legislation that allows the state to teach anything to children that the parents can not opt out of. Perhaps your time would better served pouring your resources into getting children back into school and teaching them in the middle of an ongoing pandemic. Focusing on this instead when children are struggling to learn basic academics is negligent and shows a lack of interest for children in Fairfax County. Perhaps time would be better served focusing on what is ailing more Fairfax County children currently and not a small number - poverty due to a struggling economy, lack of a learning environment, mental health issues due to lack of peer interactions, etc.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

First, public schools are encroaching on the role of the parent. As parents, it is our responsibility to expose (or not expose) our children to social and cultural topics. Public schools have already over stepped their role in other areas such as the FLE program. Any attempt of the public schools to introduce topics not directly related to education of FACTS should be considered social engineering and immediately stopped. Parents are the ONLY acceptable source of information regarding social and cultural topics. Second, the policy assumes that the student questioning their gender is the ONLY individual affected by the school environment. What about students that are NOT questioning their gender identity? Does their view not matter? Are their religious beliefs and those of their family not also factors that should be considered? The policy proposal is extremely one sided. Perhaps we also need a document entitled \"Model Policies for the Treatment of Conservative and Traditional Students in Virginia’s Public Schools.\" In that document, we should explore the psychological damage caused by children when they see someone in the bathroom that doesn't have the same body parts they do. I strongly oppose this policy and ask that the policy NOT be adopted in whole or in part.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is so sad to hear a girl say that she wants to be treated as a boy or vice versa no matter what the mirror on the wall and science says. It is even sadder to hear others say that these same girls and boys should be encouraged to retain their disillusionment. It is almost inconceivable that a school would require everyone else to be complicit in this \"lie of the ages\" and accept the proposed transgender mandates. Most school officials are doing this simply to be politically correct which is not a good reason if they were to be honest with themselves. However there are some that are really wanting to show love to these unfortunate students. My answer to them is \"love is not love if it sacrifices the truth\" and don't let the devil deceive you into thinking otherwise.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is not about whether you're religious or not. This is about taking a minute part of the population, struggling with gender dysphoria, and upending the entire way we do school to appease them. We know that trans people have higher rates of suicide and many of them want to revert back to their born gender when they are of age. Schools have no business taking a side or participating in this. People often say \"my trans kid isn't trying to look at your daughter in the locker room\".. Well the soccer coach may not be trying to look either, but it would also be inappropriate for him to be there. Young girls and boys have a right NOT to be subjected to this in public school.

No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex. Many children would feel uncomfortable when they encounter a member of the opposite sex – particularly adults – in gendered facilities or when entering a shared hotel room as part of an overnight school activity. Children, particularly adolescents, can experience hypersensitive and traumatic reactions to these situations. The model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children. 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.

Kudos to Virginia for assuring that every trans child throughout the state has the chance to attend a public school that understands they are there and should be included.

They would threaten my daughter's all-girls' school and would disadvantage biological female athletes to the point where many might find it hopeless to compete for titles and scholarships. The idea of allowing biological males who still possess male genitals into locker rooms and bathrooms with girls is frightening to me and to many others. The fact that parents may not be aware of their children's gender dysphoria while the schools are affirming it for children of any age is an affront to parental rights. In addition, there are so many Pandora's boxes being opened by the wide-reaching new definitions of harassment and hate speech. It is completely absurd to ignore science and real biological differences in the name of equality, and it makes no sense to say on one hand that those who are gay are born that way and cannot change, and on the other that a person born male can be a female or one born female can be a male if they so declare, and that their gender identity can change from day to day or week to week.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Any new policy needs to be in support of these priorities. As someone who has worked with youth and children for the past 15 years in the classroom, and as a school administrator, it is readily apparent that supporting a person's identity/expression/sense of self is central to safety (mental and physical health) and education (school attendance, performance, and learning). It's also apparent that restricting identity is harmful to youth development and counter to basic human rights. Anecdotally, I have had many, many experiences with children and families where confirming and reaffirming gender identity and expression is the difference between life and great harm or even death. In one case a teacher reported to a family that their student was changing clothes and dressing M-F when they arrived at school. The family was not supportive to the point of physically assaulting the child when they learned about the clothing switch. Cases like this are not few and far between. Schools are safe spaces and need to remain so in order to protect the lives of children-where else do children go when their family and, often, spiritual lives reject who they are-sometimes to the point of physical harm? It is vital that we create a school culture that supports diversity and inclusion instead of teaching children to reject each other based on their inherent identities. Lastly, the positive impact of diverse gender-affirming practices in schools is statistically significant. Higher matriculation rates, test scores, attrition, and attendance correlate with inclusive practices. Higher attrition and matriculation directly correlates with better mental and physical health throughout life. Currently, LGBTQ youth account for 40% of the youth homeless population and only 10% of the total population. Everything in our power as citizens and educators needs to be done to fix this. We are responsible for the safety, well being, and education above anything else\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Not only does this further confuse children who are emotionally, physically and spiritually developing, but it is a clear attempt to further break down families; and brainwash/mislead children. How about the VDOE focus on improving the metrics of core subjects first? These proposed implementations pit school officials against parents by allowing children to reassign their developing personas in school. It also tears down any safety and security among children by further isolating individuals due to either an entitlement mentality to walk into any bathroom/locker room they want OR by forcing students to fear in communal sacred spaces. Schools would no longer be institutions of academia. Where would these changes end?...I guess sports would be affected too. These policies are just bomb drops on vulnerable populations and do nothing to protect or improve students. Tax payer dollars should not be used to roll out LBGTQs warped and harmful policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The fact that parents don't have to be informed of what is going on in THEIR child's life and that the school doesn't have a responsibility to inform them is NOT their decision. Their job is to teach education (science, math, history); let the parents do their job to teach their own kids everything else. As a mom of a daughter, this terrifies me to think the position that she will be put in at school in restrooms and locker rooms.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

All I want is a school my kids aren't afraid to go to.\nBody:\nI am the mother of a non-binary high school student and a gay middle school student, in a rural district. They did not choose to be people that are so discriminated against by some of our society. I'm sure like anyone, they would have chosen the path that is easier, if they could have. Neither my husband or I chose this path for them, but we support them because THIS IS WHO THEY ARE. The suggestion that we or any parents \"make\" our children \"this way\" is ridiculous. I can't even make my kids eat vegetables most of the time, yet I am making them assume a gender identity or sexual orientation they don't want? Give me a break. My kids don't want to \"convert\" anyone, they simply want to be free of bullying and harrassment, and be able to learn. So far, they have both been bullied and harassed by other students, to the point they hate going to school. None of the things proposed here take ANYTHING away from other kids, they just help the kids that need it. What are the arguments against it? \"My child should be free to bully your child because of their gender!\" \"My child is uncomfortable around your gay child because I've taught them to hate gay people! So your child should have to leave school!\" \"I enjoy forcing my religious beliefs on my students by telling them their existence is offensive to God! I don't like being prevented from doing that!\" \"I want to publicly humiliate my students by calling them a name or pronoun that I've been specifically asked not to use!\" This is what the \"against\" comments I've read are really saying, once you look past the dogwhistles and pat phrases that come from extreme right-wing media. As a mother, all I want is a school my kids can actually learn at, because they aren't afraid to be there. Your kid doesn't have to date my kid, hang out with my kid, or like my kid. Your kid just needs to leave my kid the hell alone, and let them learn.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Our children are not your children. Public schools only exist because taxpayers fund them. You are funded to provide an educational model. You do not exist to show bias toward some families. You suggest that the parents who are \"on board\" with letting their children identify with a different gender have full rights to communication and information about their child, but those parents who do not agree, do not. That is a very slippery slope that could not end well in a court of law or the ultimate welfare of our children. My children are my children FOREVER. They are on loan to you for a few years of their life. Secrecy is unwise in any stage of development and you are reinforcing an untrue rhetoric that parents who have a different worldview cannot be trusted by their own children. I strongly oppose this legislation.\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 recent study found that over 70% of gay or transgender kids received threats because of their identity. According to the Trevor Project LGBTQ youth are FIVE times more liekly to attempt suicide than their heterosexual cisgender peers. I know the reality of these stastics as I currently work with Trans and Non-binary patients accessing gender affirming medical care, many of whom are still in Virginia public schools. I also spent many years working with LGBTQ youth as a volunteer at Side by Side, a non-profit organization in Virginia that creates supportive communities for LGBTQ youth where youth can define themselves, belong, and flourish. Here I also 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.

All of these clauses directly discriminate against the rights of those that are not transgenders. The thought that my child would be forced to go to the bathroom with the opposite sex is against their privacy. Set up separate bathrooms for those children. The fact that a child can make a decision to choose their gender and not tell the parent is ridiculous. Our children are already walking around confused as they are asked to accept teachers, falculty, and the world in their choice to live alternative lifeatyles. Thia is clearly against some peoples religious beliefs. Our children are already stressed out. We do not need additional pressure put on them. These suggestions are not good.

I only recently graduated high school, and recently saw and experienced the detrimental effects an unsupportive school environment can have on trans youth. Any and all protections (including using their preferred names and pronouns at all times, allowing them to use the bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity, and ensuring protection against bullying) for them should absolutely be put in place immediately. It is ridiculous to believe that transgender children being able to out and safe within their own schools poses harm to cisgender children. Quite the opposite is true- without concrete protections, transgender children are at risk of bullying and violence from their cisgender peers, as well as from teachers, administration, and other faculty and staff. Anyone feeling threatened by this bill may believe they have the best interest of schoolchildren at heart, but the protection of ALL children, including trans children, is essential for fostering a safe and supportive school environment that is conducive to learning and community building.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a student in the Virginia public school system who has met transgender students, I can attest that they are unsurprisingly human beings, and kind, intelligent ones at that. They are not \"mentally ill\", and it is that exact harassment that we are trying to protect them from. I am surprised at the self-proclaimed Christians who support and engage in such un-Christlike behavior. It seems that Jesus would respect these individuals and their right to exist the same as everybody else, would he not? Confronting bigoted and mean-spirited world views with protections for those they dislike is not oppression. It is the equality preached by the Christian God and guaranteed to us by the Constitution of the United States. If it was not clear already, I am in full support.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It undermines parents. They should be the ones in control of their children’s lives. If the schools can keep a child’s interest in and progress in transitioning a secret from his or her parents, it seems to me that the parents’ rights regarding that child are being subverted. Parents are the most important people in a child’s life because they love that child! No child should be in any way encouraged to transition behind his or her parents’ backs.

This kind of legislation will further divide those who truly want to help these students and those who believe that these tendencies, though very real in many cases, should not be acted upon. In addition, I believe there are many ways that local school boards can address their specific student needs without forcing the issue of allowing transgender students to use their restroom of choice or normalizing this behavior in curriculum for those families that absolutely disagree with this lifestyle. The school is not the place for this kind of education. It is within the home. If this kind of curriculum is imposed, I believe that the default should be to be opted OUT and not into it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

First, many kids are not even currently attending school in person. They are FAILING because of remote learning. Therefore, pronouns are not the most pressing issue in their education. I have lgbtq family members, friends and colleagues and heartily support them. I spoke with several before logging on here to inquire as to their opinions/stance on these matters. They agree with me that this document is appropriate at this time when students are failing. The document incorrectly, and, detrimentally, places more emphasis on pronouns than education. The document is confusing, convoluted and demands punishment for 'honest mistakes'. Too much is being attempted at once, no less, by force, which is never a successful approach. You can't 'legislate' thought, perception, acceptance. Especially, when it comes across as FORCE. I have a feeling no matter what anyone types, you'll ram this through because you feel entitled to engage in social engineering. I am sure it will not have the result you intend, but that action will have consequences.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is wrong to force these issues onto the majority that does not have identity issues of the minority & only confuses the population who do not have these identity issues. Having the entirety of a population have to contend with the wishes of a small number of people with a deviating purpose/view/agenda, is absurd. Equality should be promoted but one’s sexuality and identity should not become a forced agenda in schools, and certainly not schools paid for by the tax payer. Sexuality and gender identity issues can be dealt with and handled privately at home, and using counseling services offered publicly or in the schools, but should not become a part of the classroom and curriculum. Children are developing and growing, and their brains aren’t fully developed until well after high school. For this reason, confusing and subjective information about gender and identity should not be pushed in schools. This is not fodder for children. It is private and personal and should be dealt with as such, not promoted publicly in a space where children should be safe and not made to feel uncertain and singled out. Again, 99.9% of the student body should not be subjected to transgender and sexual identity issues that exist for a 10th of the population. It is wrong to force these issues onto the population that does not have identity issues.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The Virginia General Assembly has passed work place protections for the LGBTQ+ community. I was raised by a public educator and I was always told that school was my job as a student. Therefor those same protections that our General Assembly passed should be afforded to our students as they are going to school, which is their version of a job. Also the Supreme Court Ruled in 2020 that Title VII protections extend to the LGBTQ+ community and there has been a close connection between Title VII and Title IX rulings over the year. Please take this as my support for providing a safe space for our Transgender, Nonbinary, and Queer students to attend Virginia public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Growing up while trying to balance fitting in and being true to yourself is hard enough. These kids are so brave to be their authentic selves, at the risk of being bullied and the difficulties of navigating a system designed for two genders. Putting policies of protection in place can only help to ensure that our school systems are not the reason for more distress in the lives of these young people. For every transgender or non-conforming child, there are dozens of students who have the opportunity to see acceptance and allyship modeled by teachers and administrators, facilitated by these policies. As the parent of a child with Down syndrome, I know that society has come a long way from a policy of institutionalization to inclusion. We now know the immense benefits of integrating children with special needs into classrooms with their typically-developing peers, and they continue to break barriers every day. I can only hope that one day we will look back on policies such as those proposed here and recognize the positive effect they have had on students’ mental health and their ability to thrive.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Teachers are being set up to be manipulated, and possibly lose their jobs. Students can now change their identity literally every hour, and it’s ok??? Teachers have a job to do, and that is to focus on reading, writing, math, history, and science! Their job is not to fret over calling students the wrong pronoun or name! Sadly, I see many girls (transgender girls included) being sexually abused! There is not enough staff at these schools to monitor ever bathroom and locker room the entire day! I have two daughter’s, and we will move to a private school for their safety. I won’t even get into girls’ sports. Girls are going to get severely injured in contact sports!!!\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: 96292\nTitle: recommendations for safe, inclusive educating environment\nBody:\nIn reference to VA Dept of Education's consideration of \"Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools\" These model policies have the noble intent to protect children from harm and provide a caring, inclusive environment in which children can learn and grow. However, these policies do not acknowledge the noble intent that the vast majority of parents have to protect, love, and nurture our children to realize their full potential and impact our world for good. These model policies presume that loving parents who are trying to guide their child through exploration of gender identity alternatives in a way that is consistent with their family values and religious beliefs are by definition efforts to harm an assumed transgender child, and therefore grounds for the state to legally intervene. This is an overreach of the state’s and the school system’s authority to interfere with several protected liberties regarding speech, religion, privacy, and others. The Department of Education needs to demonstrate a higher standard to “follow the science” in consideration of these policy changes. The evidence offered to support these recommendations is predominantly anecdotal and often narrowly supported by one-sided, subjective opinions or conclusions. The supportive evidence lacks the rigor of the scientific method intended to remove, or at least counter, subjective bias, and it fails to equitably acknowledge study’s and scenarios that have reached opposing conclusions. These policies and guidelines as written are overly biased to advantage one minority people group to the potential detriment of the majority of the student body. For example, page 7 under related laws, makes a reference to the “First Amendment: The First Amendment protects freedom of speech and expression.” The Department of Education saw fit to include a clarifying statement “Schools may not prevent students from expressing their identity.” However, there is a notable omission that the First Amendment also protects students rights to express legally protected religious convictions or doctrine. Further, much of the policy guidance included herein goes further to create a toxic environment where neither students nor tax-payer parents would be free to express legally protected religious convictions on the subject of sex from fear of the penalties enumerated in this document or the more restrictive derived documents that the respective school boards are encouraged to enact. Page 13 issues a veiled threat that Child Protective Services should be used to remove a child from a family “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,” but fails to define what constitutes being abused, neglected, or at risk of abuse or neglect. It is evident from the guidance within the entire document that school personel could subjectively interpret that parents exercising protected religious freedoms or doing things like refusing to buy their children a certain style of clothes could warrant notification to CPS of suspected abuse or neglect. It is a slippery slope, and this policy could easily result in unlawful harassment or worse. If this was not the intent, the language should be modified to meticulously define these terms and overtly affirm the Dept of Education's commitment to protect all students’ and parents’ rights to free speech, religion, and privacy. The overuse of terms like “fluidity” create too much opportunity for misuse and abuse of the policies and guidelines by fellow students or school representatives who wish to unduly influence developing students or even cause students harm. The overreaching assurance of secrecy this policy offers to these minors from legal, loving guardians creates intimate bonds with school officials that could be, and often is, exploited with malicious intent, and it shifts the responsibility of imparting moral values away from parents and into the school system. It also creates an intentionally secret platform from parents that could be used to indoctrinate gender confusion in students who would not otherwise have transgender inclinations. The charter of the school system should remain to educate children based on facts. This policy as written is contrary to the constitutionally protected religious freedoms which allow citizens to impart family values that are consistent with their protected religious belief systems. Page 6: terminology includes a misleading definition of “sex assignment” that is offensive. Recommend changing to “Identified Sex at birth.” Sex is identified at birth through objective observations of physical characteristics and as defined in the vast majority of the world’s modern languages. It is not in fact a label “typically assigned” on the noted basis, nor is it arbitrarily applied by the medical professionals who diligently and scientifically support the birth process.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

So it will be very unfortunate if this decision is made on behalf of the school system in VA. I do not have any problem with children being transgender. And I feel like this is a topic that many people don't fully understand. I am a hairstylist and a client of mine has expressed her full journey in this situation of being born a deaf little boy and transforming into a woman as a adult. Her story broke my heart. And the support of her parents were non existent as a child. This broke my heart. However, it is absolutely NOT in the place of the school to encourage or help a child to determine such a decision. It is the school systems job to provide a education. The education is not to include any decisions against the parents authority. This instead becomes brain washing and more of a attempt to remove authority from the parents. I do not agree with this and i am a mother of four boys, and i hope to be a grandmother one day as well. You will find no children or grandchildren of mine that will cooperate and or attend your school system with such policies existing. And i will withdrawl my children immediately should you pass this decision. It's a subject that i understand exists and perhaps needs it's place in the world. However in the hands of the school system is absolutely inappropriate and u do not have my support and I will lose complete faith in the entire school system as a whole if this decision is made. I feel like a whole separate program and place for such a topic should exist. I appreciate that u attempt to provide the very best for everyone, I appreciate u thinking of every way to accomodate others that u can. However u are here to provide a education alone. And not interfere with sexuality preferences and the privacy of child and parent being compromised. So with that being said, May God be with you as you make your decisions tonight or tomorrow, and please know, you will lose a entire family of attendance should you try to interfere with the quality of our lives in such a way. I will have no anger towards you and no hard feelings, but you will never have a child of mine in such a school system. God bless the children who need these accommodations and suffer, I pray that a program separate from the school system can be created. However it's not the school systems responsiblity and it's just extremely discouraging to imagine such a situation arising. Prayers to all\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They have a right to an education from the state in a safe environment, without abuse or harassment from fellow students or school officials.

It's ridiculous that I have to even write this. Especially, after being told repeatedly by the media and the state government to \"believe the science\" on COVID in respect to lockdowns, school closures, social distancing, and masks. Well, \"believe the science\" on this issue too. There are only 2 sexes, and you cannot acrually change your sex. Also recognize that the vast geographical majority of Virginia is opposed to this and their beliefs should also be respected. Each locality's School Board should be allowed to continue determining what's best for their communities.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It undermines parental rights, it promotes gender confusion/fluidity to children, it violates the religious liberties of most Americans, and it violates the privacy (and, at times, also the safety) of children. It is highly inappropriate for public schools to be teaching gender identity and sexuality in K-12. And it is particularly baffling that in a pandemic environment in which our kids haven't attended school in nearly a year, our authorities are focused on this terrible initiative instead of academics. If VA is trying to push parents into private schools and homeschooling, they're definitely achieving this.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Both of my children have friends and family members who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender. They celebrate it. They celebrate their friends and family. They are happy that their friends and family can express who they really are at their core. In fact, they often don't see any kind of difference and just see the kind and fun friend/family who they are. And I am so proud that they are being loyal, caring friends. Not everyone is supportive. But that is not the role of government. Public schools need to provide strong clear guidance that allows all students to focus on school regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation. My children and I support this guidance for that reason.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These children need support from people outside of just the school. Also risking children of both sexes being taken advantage of in a bathroom at school by letting both genders use the same restroom is wrong. The risk this creates for all students and teachers involved is too high. This is also an abuse of the CPS system, there are plenty of cases where children are being abused and neglected and this is an issue that will tie up resources that can be used elsewhere. These agencies are struggling to maintain and address what their current cases are much less added additional things.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These laws would endanger children and the rights of parents to raise their children according to their conscience. 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.

No more are their novels on the list that include a family unit of married heterosexual parents with children. Another example are the online reading/grammar programs used in schools such as including characters who want to \"change their lifestyles\" (seen on a No Red Ink reading program). Parents, don't look! Nothing to see here. The schools can take care of our children. Sure. Right. Stop pushing your agendas on our children!

There wasn’t even a feeling for a kid to pinpoint. Now the people and VA lawmakers have the power and ability to relieve so many kids of the gender dysphoria, the bullying, the feeling of alienation in their own skin. I fully back and advocate for the lives and rights of trans identifying kids. The assumption trans people are predators is a myth perpetuated by bigots. These are our kids. They need love and acceptance from the ones who have power because their peers are very well being taught hatefulness at home. It’s 2021 and we now have a chance to make our children seen, to make sure they know we have their back. We owe it to the ones who will makeup the future, to protect them from hate, bigotry and evil. Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s a threat to you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is no different from a totalitarian regime like North Korea, where people are forced to lie daily or face dire consequences, including losing their children. This is no exaggeration. Children who are confused about their sexuality deserve far better than to be pushed into identifying with the opposite sex. Biology is real. Research shows that the vast majority of children with gender identity disorder eventually affirm their birth gender -- if they are not cruelly led in another direction. Do the right thing and reject these immoral and anti-scientific policies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

One of our children is transgender and socially transitioned in elementary school. We were forced to move from York County to Newport News when the York County School District informed us that our daughter would not be allowed to use the girls’ restroom. Forcing our young daughter to use the boys’ room or a staff bathroom would have sent a message to her every single day that her school and her community did not believe that she was a girl even though her heart and parents know and love her as who she knows herself to be. This would also have outed her to all of her friends and classmates. She would have been ridiculed and stigmatized because the very school and teachers our children trust would be telling all of the children and our daughter through this active exclusion that she doesn’t actually exist. The message would be simple and incredibly painful, “girls can use the girls’ room but you cannot because you are not a girl.” These policies will protect our daughter and so many other transgender elementary students we personally know in Hampton Roads. Not everyone can move to another, more welcoming place in Virginia as we were able to do. I know that there are children in elementary, middle and high schools in Virginia every day who cannot even begin to learn and grow until they are first allowed to exist. This is what these policies do for our daughter and so many others. They do not create special status or special rights, they just ensure that transgender children are allowed to exist with the same rights and status as all other Virginia school children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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

Why is this small minority of individuals given such attention and acceptance? This minority upsets, and confuses other children and their parents for that matter. Why do male and female children have to give up their bathroom/locker room privacy and safety for this minority? Why does the State of Virginia have the authority to subvert parental guidance and teaching in the sexual realm? These types of political, agenda policies, where will they end? Why does the state of Virginia have the right to decide genders and not God who made male and female? What are the next policies? Rules and regulations on how to treat or interact with single, married, divorced, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Spanish, Japanese, Italians, white, black, Asians? Hey, State of Virginia, the concentration would be teach children general rules of telling the truth, politeness, the classics and critical thinking and the Constitution of the United States and by the way, history. I would strongly encourage parents to home school, or another good alternative to public schools. There is such a thing as education and there is such a thing as Indoctrination.

I think we can all agree that bullying is wrong and that students of the LGBTQ community should be treated with respect and dignity even if we don't agree with their lifestyle choices. However, talking about forcing these views onto elementary school children and creating confusion in their developing young minds is appalling! You have to be 18 to get a tatoo or vote, or 21 to smoke or drink, but a child can decide whether they are a boy or girl, without the parent's knowledge and then teachers can't question it? Have y'all lost your minds? This is insanity. Not to mention middle or high school girls who may have a biological boy show up in the locker room while they are undressing because he claims he is a girl for that day. It is the parents' job to address these issues and teach their children how to love and respect all people. It is not the job of a school system to indoctrinate our children with these lies! This is science and facts. You are either a male or a female. PERIOD. As an adult if you choose to identify in another way, so be it, but this has no place in the school system. Both of my children were pulled from public school 5 years ago and this type of craziness happening is confirmation of why they will never be going back. If you pass this legislation, my heart will break for all of those children who have no other option other than public school. This is just plain wrong! If you pass this, I would also plan for a mass exodus of families to leave the public school system and go to private/homeschool. They have already been coming due to your incompetent handling of schools during COVID, and you will lose even more with legislation such as this.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Basically any boy or other gender can walk into a girls bathroom or locker room at any time according to this. It does not matter if the girl is undressed at all. Privacy isn't allowed anymore, anywhere. Girls can go topless in activities where boys can such as swimming. There is absolutely NO respect for the girls. Their rights don't matter according to this guidance. And we think rape and sex trafficking are bad now. Just wait. I have a four year old granddaughter and the thought of her going to school under these circumstances makes me nauseous. What this is attempting to do is to make our society complete amoral, perverted and twisted.

I do think it is totally acceptable for you to put together a curriculum that parents who ask or seek guidance in explanation this to their kids, can get easy access to.

Parents have the fundamental right to be involved in their children's upbringing and education, and in many places throughout this document, parents are explicitly excluded from knowing what is happening in school with regard to their child, both in cases where their child is experiencing gender confusion and where their child might be accused of violating the policies. It is true that every child deserves fair and equal treatment. Especially when considering areas like bathrooms and locker rooms, there are so many ways that this could go wrong, for example, someone could claim to have a different identity to gain access to a private area of the opposite sex, and would not even be allowed to be questioned. This does not take into account the rights of every student. Is it keeping all of our students safe? Encouraging children to question their biological gender only adds to confusion, especially if parents are not allowed to be included in such discussions. Parents must be included! I strongly oppose the adoption of this guidance document and its policies. We need to go back to the drawing board to form policies that respect all students and their parents!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Of course no student should be stigmatized, harassed or bullied for any reason. That said, the proposed policies mandate compliance with a set of behaviors that are likely to create uncomfortable, impractical and sometimes even unsafe situations. On page 8, the document states that the VDOE \"...continues to be committed to working with school divisions to ensure a positive, safe, and nurturing learning environment for all students.\" But these model policies are totally slanted to the self-identified transgender students, magnifying their comfort level above those of the vast majority of the student body. The document says very little about accommodating the beliefs and feelings of the non-transgender students. In other words, though the document often cites equality based on a number of beliefs and attributes, the model policies seem to establish the rights of transgender students as carrying more weight and advocacy should these rights come in conflict with the rights of other students, such as the right to not have to share bathroom and locker facilities with persons whom present according to their biological sex. Will school administrators and ombudsmen take up the cause of students who have these concerns, or will their advocacy only extend to the transgender students? Will the sole focus or reconciliation policies be to get non-transgender students to accept these policies, or will they actually try to accommodate these student beliefs and feelings equally? As to practicality, how many students by percentage will these policies affect? I don't know the estimated percentages, but my assumption is it is very small. The number of resources and amount of education dedicated to accommodation and enforcement seem way out of proportion to schools achieving their intended purpose of teaching our students and providing a safe educational environment where all students are treated with dignity and respect for their beliefs, without regard to who they are. While not addressing the overall numbers, a statistic cited in one of the references jumped out at me. The research study looked at the effects of positive family acceptance of the student's self-proclaimed gender as cutting suicide ideation and attempts in half. While that is a positive statistic, the study revealed what \"half\" is - from 38.3% to 18.5% in suicide ideation, and from 56.8% to 30.9% in suicide attempts. These are not healthy statistics. Another practical aspect has to do with the policies minimizing gender-based organizations. That means no more men's or women's glee clubs, as an example. The male and female voices are different. It's biology. It's science, if you will. And sports and Title IX are another issue, and get into the safety aspect. Consider the recent situation in Connecticut where transgender females wiped out all of the previous women's records in track. Similar results have occurred in weightlifting. A number of female athletes are complaining about losing records and scholarships to biological males who identify as transgender females. Not only does this open the door to injuries with biological males competing against biological females, it can have impacts on achievement and scholarships. There is a reason we have male and female competitions. And yet, when female athletes, and perhaps their parents, complain about this, they are vilified and shamed. So much for equal treatment. I will repeat what I said at the beginning. There is no place for transgenders, or any student, to be bullied or harassed for their beliefs. But instead of treating all beliefs and feelings equally, these policies create all kinds of special accommodations and multiple, mandated changes throughout the system for one specific group at the expense of the vast majority.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As the document that is provided for this policy notes; \" \"Gender: A set of social, psychological, and emotional traits that classify an individual as typically masculine or feminine, although the social construct of gender may be more diverse across a continuum rather than as a binary system.\"\" This is not about our youth \"converting\" or being tricked into anything. Gender identity is a form of self discovery, and that doesn't come as easy to someone compared to a cis gender person (who make up the majority of our society). This is not \"the leftists taking over the world order; 1984 ANTIFA super soldier deluxe combo recruitment agenda\" or whatever nonsense you are hearing from Ben Shabino/Steven Coward/Tim Fool. This is about a fundamental human right for trans youth (who are already protected under Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment). ESPECIALLY those in the schooling system, where they are more likely to face bullying, being misgendered and general harassment. Being trans/gender fluid/gender-nonbinary is part of ones identity, just as race is also a social construct. Also listed under the document; \"\"In 2020, the American Psychological Association (APA) and National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) declared in a resolution that “all persons, including children and adolescents who are diverse in their sexuality and gender identities, expression, and/or presentation, have the inherent human right to equal opportunity and a physically and psychologically safe environment within all institutions.” The American Academy of Pediatrics (2018) also acknowledged that, “variations in gender identity and expression are normal aspects of human diversity.”\" What we label as masculine & feminine are very much a social construct (women wear make up, men wear suits, etc.) Even within those two examples, I don't see a lot of people fussing over women wearing jeans or men having ear piercings. At least I haven't heard anyone saying so in recent years. All that being said, those two examples still fall under the binary understanding of gender. SEX AND GENDER ARE NOT THE SAME . There is a large amount of evidence that can make this argument better than I could under this comment section. The technical terms are even listed in the doc! There are tons and TONS of sources this single document has sited, I highly encourage everyone to read up. I'm incredibly disappointed by seeing how many Virginians, and especially parents, who criticize this policy, without putting the time or effort to even understand the core of what this policy is about. I've seen people using sex and gender interchangeably, quoting scripture/texts from the Bible, saying \"\"Boys allowed in girls locker rooms and bsthrooms (misspelled nice) Are you people insane? I can see the problems already! Use your heads! Vote NO!\"\" or another comment saying; \"'It is against our religious beliefs and is not how God created us - male or female.\"\" there is nothing welcoming or accepting with this rhetoric. The LGBTQ+ community (especially POC) are already historically marginalized in the US. The psychological repercussions that our youth will face after experiencing this marginalization takes a toll, usually towards substance abuse or suicide. The policy talks a lot about protecting trans youth and also making sure their privacy and safety is the priority. As the doc states here; \"\" A 2019 national survey by GLSEN found that 84 percent of transgender youth feel unsafe at school, and those who experience victimization have significantly lower GPAs, are more likely to miss school out of concern for their safety, and are less likely to plan on continuing their education (Kosciw, Clark, Truong, & Zongrone, 2020). Compared to their cisgender and heterosexual peers, LGBTQ+ youth report much higher rates of depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug use, and lower self-esteem. LGBTQ+ youth of color may experience additional stress and adverse effects as a result of their intersecting identities, facing both bias against their gender identity or expression as well as racism. Research has shown that LGBTQ+ students experience higher levels of victimization because of their gender identity and/or gender expression and have more adverse outcomes compared to their cisgender and heterosexual peers (Human Rights Campaign Foundation, 2018): \"\" On the positive side of this, seeing so many other Virginians support this is inspiring and incredible! To anyone else who is willing to learn more about gender identity, who doesn't understand the concepts but is good faith and wants to be more educated on this, I would highly encourage them to read this document and start the learning process. Talk to those around you, there is probably someone you know that is also hip to this information. I identify as non-binary. I couldn't put into words how I felt about myself for so long, until I learned more about gender on my own, with the help of my friends and online resources. It helped give me perspective and a greater grasp to my own person. To anyone who hasn't ever questioned their own gender, please show compassion and try to understand. Especially for the youth who are still figuring out right now. We want to give them all the resources they can access so they can get a better understanding of their own humanity. Trans rights are human rights!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No! No!\nBody:\nI strongly oppose this. Our children should be at school focusing on education. I am a child of God and I love everyone. I do not have to support everyone’s decisions or agree with them but I still love them. With that being said all children should feel safe at school. I agree with that part. But school is for education. Kids have the rest of their lives to make these kind of decisions. But don’t force it on them at such a young, innocent age. Don’t subject everyone’s kids to this. Dont allow boys in the bathroom with young girls. That screams a disaster waiting to happen. Not too mention parents not knowing about Things happening at school because you don’t have to tell us. No way!!! There’s a time and place for everything but I can assure you that this is not the time nor the place. I am strongly against this! Please think about our kids. Our young daughters. Our sons. They’re so innocent and young. Don’t subject them to this. It’s not the time. It should be up to a parent to discuss these things. And When they’re elementary age,( even middle school ), it’s definitely not time. Don’t do this! There’s other ways to go about this. But this ain’t the correct way at all!!!! I love everyone. I want my children to love everyone. And they do! They aren’t born with hatred towards others. They learn that. And at home I am not teaching them to hate anyone or bully anyone or even hurt someone’s feelings in the least. I am teaching love!! A godly love. Therefore things should be taught in the home. And only in the home. Period. So please don’t do this!!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans kids are already in schools. They have always been in schools. Their existence is not up for debate or discussion. They can’t be shouted away or voted away, and Virginia schools have already been working with Trans kids without incident as best as they are able.

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: 96775\nTitle: Better than nothing but could go farther\nBody:\nDistinguished School board and Department of Education Administrators, I strongly support any and all measures possible to protect children. Transgender identity is not a phase, not an act of insubordination, and not a choice. Gender identity must be protected as a legal right as all children, trans or cisgender, must be given equal protection under law. As mentioned in the guidelines transgender students are at increased risk of abuse and suicide. For many trans adults I know school was a traumatic experience because of constant mental, physical and, sexual abuse or assault happening on school grounds. Much of this abuse far passes bullying and was never addressed by administration or police even when reported multiple times. If these guidelines can grant trans students the equal protection that they are denied then I am in full support. However, the Virginia Education system must also take responsibility for previous inaction when faced with anti-trans human rights abuses. Almost all of the proposed guidelines are excellent. I encourage providing model non-gendered uniforms for activities such swim meets, cheer, field hockey, and any other traditionally gendered sport. On a personal note, I am a cisgender woman who would have loved to have taken part in cheer if I had an option other than a mini skirt. The tight mini skirt was against my spiritual beliefs, but when I asked I was given no other choice but to wear it. Had track pants been an option I could have participated. Additionally, I commend your protection of children choosing both gendered and non gendered bathrooms. This is one of the most important ways to combat social stigma against trans students. As a chronically ill child, I also could have benefited from single stall non gendered bathrooms to discreetly take care of medical needs without having to go to the nurse's office for the only single stall bathroom. The only issue I have is in the \"student Identification\" section on page 13 where it encourages administrators to listen to bigoted parents about how their children should be addressed. I believe administrators and teachers alike should respect their students even if it is against the will of parents. Misgendering trans students and deadnaming is emotionally abusive and under no circumstances should schools aid in parental abuse of children. Malicious dead naming should be considered verbal abuse and reported as such. Would you recommend teachers referring to girls as sluts or boys as s if the parents requested it? Deadnaming and misgendering whittles away at a child's confidence and shows a complete disregard for their identity as a human. Misgendering removes a child's agency and asserts control over their very personhood by discounting the individual and asserting a predetermined social narrative instead. Deadnaming and misgendering is dehumanizing much in the way a slur is. In every way possible we must treat children as people with agency. Removing that agency and aiding in the hateful treatment of children increases the likelihood of a young person developing depression or taking their own life. We must be completely clear that there is a difference between a learning curve and passive aggressive disrespect in regards to pronouns and names. It is common for adults to pretend to be \"trying\" to respect pronouns and ask for patience, only for no improvement to ever come. Please establish a reasonable time table, for example over the course of two weeks, by which old names can be phased out. Any mistake after that should be followed by an apology everytime. I would prefer that there was some metric for accountability laid out in this document. Additionally you should include assurance that transgender students still facing discrimination in breach of these guidelines would have a clear path to aid, reporting and, conflict resolution aside from quiet patience with the small mindedness of others. It is our responsibility as adults to put aside personal biases and truly aid the children we have sworn to protect. We can no longer discount transgender children as being strange, deviant or, immoral leaving their human rights a question of personal taste. It was never just to do so. It is time for Virginia to right it's past wrongs and truly strive for equity now. These guidelines are a good start but by no means mark the end of our duty to protecting transgender children in public schools. -Evelyn Leggett\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The model policy is well-intentioned, but does not serve all of the students in any school. Policies need to address issues and provide solutions that treat others equally and do not cause harm. The educational learning environment of a school is delicate and is disrupted when any one group is favored at the expense of others. The proposed solution which this policy hopes to fix causes disruption and harm to all of the other students. A better model policy would ensure that the rights and beliefs of all persons are treated equally. This policy fails that test and should not be made a model policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

EV strongly supports the Virginia Department of Education’s Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools. Equality Virginia believes that all students have the right to a learning environment that is safe, inclusive, and affirming, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We are working alongside youth, families, and local and state organizations across the Commonwealth to make sure LGBTQ students, particularly transgender and non-binary students, can learn and thrive. We know that transgender and non-binary youth face unique barriers to an equal learning environment in K-12 schools in Virginia. Per GLSEN’s 2019 National School Climate Survey, a staggering 84 percent of transgender youth felt unsafe in school because of their identity, 82 percent said they avoided certain spaces because they felt unsafe or uncomfortable, 51 percent missed school because of safety concerns, and 50 percent said they were unable to use the name or pronoun consistent with their gender. Transgender students who face these sorts of victimization are then three times more likely to have missed school in the past month than their peers. GLSEN’s 2017 Virginia Snapshot reports that 62 percent of LGBTQ youth faced verbal harassment and 26 percent faced physical harassment in school. Transgender and non-binary youth of color face even greater levels of bullying, harassment, and assault for not only their sexual orientation or gender identity, but also their racial or ethnic identity. As long as students are unsafe, fearful, and uncomfortable in their school environment, they cannot focus on learning or sometimes even be physically present. This demonstrates the urgent need for affirming model policies for school boards to adopt on the treatment of transgender and non-binary students. Per existing state and federal law, all students have the right to an equal education and this guidance can go a long way towards making that a reality in K-12 schools across Virginia. On this basis, Equality Virginia supports this guidance, while recommending a few minor changes below. Overall We recommend the adoption of all of the clarifications, additions, removals, and edits enumerated in GLSEN’s public comment submitted by Aaron Ridings, Director of Public Policy, on February 2, 2021 to the Virginia Department of Education. Additionally, EV recommends the following changes under various sections: Student Privacy/Confidentiality On page 12, in the model policy’s first paragraph, we recommend replacing “gender assigned at birth” with “sex assigned at birth.” This aligns with the terminology the document uses elsewhere and aligns with standard usage. Student Identification On page 12, we suggest rewording the third and fourth sentences in the first paragraph as follows: “Many transgender students will adopt gender pronouns typically associated with their gender identity. For example, most transgender female students will use she/her/hers pronouns, while most transgender male students will use he/him/his pronouns. There is somewhat less of a common pattern of pronoun usage among different non-binary students. Non-binary students, as well as transgender students, may use gendered pronouns like she/her/hers or he/him/his, use gender neutral pronouns like they/them/theirs or ze/hir/hirs, use multiple sets of pronouns interchangeably (e.g. he/him/his and they/them/theirs), or use their name in place of any pronoun.” On page 12, we recommend these edits to the first paragraph under the “Student Identification” heading: Original text: “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. Recommended text: “A student is considered transgender if, at school, the student asserts a gender identity different from the sex assigned at birth, unless there is a credible basis that the student is claiming a transgender identity for an improper purpose. In the unlikely event that a student appears to be asserting a transgender identity for an improper purpose, schools should allow the student an opportunity respond to that concern, for example, by permitting the student to provide substantiating evidence to support their request to be treated consistent with their gender identity.” On page 13: Original text: “Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence. School staff shall, at the request of a student or parent, address the student using the asserted name and pronoun that correspond to their gender identity. Recommended text: “Schools shall allow students to use a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence. School staff shall, at the request of a student or parent, address the student using the name and pronoun that correspond to their gender identity.” Access to Activities and Facilities On page 17, in the model policy’s first paragraph’s first sentence, we recommend striking “reduce.” The phrase “to the extent possible” already provides adequate flexibility and “reduce” is an unclear metric. On page 18, in the second paragraph of the model policy, we recommend adding “or” between “single user” and “gender-inclusive.” Since the comma usage is ambiguous, th...

It starts by speaking dismissively of a child’s sex at birth as “assigned” but only provisionally until the child determines his or her superseding “gender identity.” In reality, a child is male or female from birth through death; there is no changing one’s sex. It is a gift from God. With regard to gender, this is treated as innate from a young age, but the Guidance later admits it is changeable and provision must be made to handle changes. So essentially the child is allowed, god-like, to change and morph their Gender identity at whim, and the school system is to play along and cater to it through every twist and turn. There is an undefined “consistency” requirement that is unenforceable. Truly the inmates will be running the asylum. The novel requirement to allow boys in girls bathrooms and locker rooms (or vice versa)is a disaster waiting to happen amd horrific for the vast majority of students, especially young girls. The bathrooms and locker rooms should be used according to sex. That does not denigrate gender identity. Rather, it divides usage by sex rather than gender. There is nothing wrong with this well established classification approach to bathrooms and locker rooms. In all, this Guidance is a shallow effort, filled with all the latest unproven pieties and virtue signaling. It aids and abets chaos, injuring the many, while pretending to help the few. It is a disgrace.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents need to be involved in all aspects of their children's education and time at school. Remember the students in past who have committed suicide and the parents had no idea because the schools felt it wasn't something to communicate to the parents. This is a scary slope that will only widen the gap between the child-parent relationship and draw the child closer to the government run school system.

This type of thinking leads many, many transgender children into depression or suicidal thoughts, and also leads to the belief that those who don't buy into their delusion hate them. It has been shown through research that a majority of transgender children eventually identify with their sex assigned at birth as an adult, resulting in many irreversible regrets. Young children are incredibly impressionable and should not be given the option to make such life-changing decisions before they can even legally drive a car, much less given MORE authority in this position than their parents or legal guardians. This is not only unconstitutional, it undermines the guardian's authority and autonomy as an individual, and strains relationships between child and parent, adding more stress. In the best interest of children, especially transgender children, do not approve this policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The model assumes that in every case, children experiencing gender dysphoria should affirm their feelings about themselves, even to the point of placing the school system as a greater authority in the student's life than the parents. That is dangerous and alarming. All students should be respected, all students should be protected from bullying, all students should be closely monitored if giving warning signs of self-harm or suicide. This model, however, oversteps multiple boundaries. It should not be imposed. I strongly oppose it as a mother, taxpayer, public health practitioner, and pediatric nurse.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Absolutely no issues with that. None. Definitely should be implemented. However. Here are some MAJOR concerns. The most recent statistic is 0.42% of people identify as trans.....0.42%. Let me say it again.... 0.42% ......why in the WORLD would the 99.58% of the population need to submit THEIR thought processes, values, beliefs and rights for less than 1% of the populations opinion? Our country is literally founded and runs on majority rule. But we are going to use this one circumstance, based on 0.42% of the populations FEELINGS to completely strip away the rights of the 99.58%??? The rules about students being able to choose which gender they can be is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable. A person cannot drive until they are 16, vote until they are 18, drink or smoke until they are 21....but they are considered mature enough to change their entire identity based on feelings??? Students cannot even wear baggy pants to school....but they can now see the opposite sex naked? Non-transgender children have rights as well. But their voice or beliefs no longer matter? So if my son wants to go into the locker room to change, he now has ZERO choice to go to a place where there will be no females. This also opens up opportunity for harassment in the OTHER direction. If a teacher or a student accidentally refers to another human being by she/her he/him based on appearance ( a normal, natural and logical response) and that student gets upset for not being called the \"proper\" pronoun. Who/what then is at fault? Logic? Or feelings? Will the student or teacher be the one at fault for assuming a perfectly logical thing? Again, we are opening the door up to further issues. If a young, perverted male student decides that he wants to go into the girls locker room (or vis versa). There will be NOTHING stopping him after the words \"I'm a female\" are uttered. These rules are not protecting young women or men from this kind of sexual harassment. I am absolutely appalled that society is allowing, no, FORCING this ideology on young impressionable minds. Students are no longer encouraged to be themselves but to instead, fall under the delusion that the only way that they can be \"truly themselves\" is to change absolutely everything about themselves and mutilate their bodies. If a person cannot change other biological factors about themselves, then it is absolute insanity to believe that there is an exception. Why then could a student not identify as a graduated 20 year old and have a relationship with a teacher? Where are the boundaries if rules about nature and biology lie within oneself and individual decision? It is disheartening that there is such a strange shift in society that now accepts psychological disorders in children that need HELP and counseling as realities instead of doing everything they can to actually understand the child and what they are dealing with inside. Please don't even get me started on the suicide rates of transgenders persons...

Schools should not be permitted to help students explore, facilitate and make decisions regarding their gender expression, without the knowledge of their parents (Recommended Standard, p.12). Parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex should not be at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect (Recommended Standard, p.13). A gender-neutral dress code should not be allowed; this includes the fact that boys should not be permitted to wear skirts, and girls should not be permitted to go topless in activities where boys can do so, such as swimming activities or team activities (Draft Policy, p.16). All students should not be allowed to use any bathroom or locker room they choose (Draft Policy, p.18). The ability of any person being permitted to use any bathroom/locker room is alarming for the safety particularly of children. The thought of boys/young men in the same changing facilities as girls/young women is shocking and an invitation for all kinds of sexual violations and abuse. This should not be allowed. Everyone should have to use the bathroom that represents their medically defined biological sex at birth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

That is why insurance allows parents to carry them on their policies till 25. There is a reason why children have parents, the schools are not qualified to enter into this area with children. Science and studies show that the majority of children that are confused over these things, grow out of them and if for some reason they do not then seeing a doctor or a therapist is the avenue to take. Schools are supposed to teach reading, writing, math and teach problem solving skills, not life choices, stay out of this lane, not your call or area of expertise. Children think that eating snacks all day is healthy, we do not let them do it because it is not good for them to fill up on junk. Children think that it is okay to stay up all night watching TV, we do not let them do it because it is not good for them, they need their rest. Children want to drive cars way earlier than is legal, we do not let them drive till they have had a learners permit, because it is not safe. Many more examples, but please stop pushing this agenda on little minds. It is cruel and wrong to manipulate children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Schools should acknowledge that changes happen as the brain develops and that the ultimate outcome is unknown at an early age. Children should be allowed the freedom of self-expression without having to adhere to a label that may not fit in the future. As it pertains to bathrooms, this policy encourages transgender children to ignore or perhaps even mourn their biological gender. We can affirm the rights of children to explore and develop their identity without encouraging them to disdain their anatomy. There is no compelling reason why bathrooms should be selected on the basis of identified rather than biologic gender. There is clearly a need for more research on safety and long-term outcomes of a gender affirming approach.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am the mother of a female student and you are infringing on her rights to privacy in the girls bathroom and locker room. As a young girl and even now I don’t feel comfortable changing clothes around other girls much less a MAN!!! You are putting my child’s safety at risk when you say it is ok for a biological male to go in the girls bathroom/ locker room because he feels like he is a girl. This gives boys/men the excuse to go in the bathroom to look at a girl naked or even rape her! There is no problem with you giving transgender people their own bathroom or changing area but their rights should not be more important than other peoples rights! The transgender population is less then 1% of the population and you are giving them rights over the majority! I hope in your liberal ways your child or daughter don’t get raped from choosing to do this! Wouldn’t that be a shame!!! sincerely ed Va citizen!

This policy seeks to place the state, in the form of school personnel, between parents and children. There are myriad challenges that children will go through, especially during adolescence, and parents should always be the most trusted confidants, coaches, allies, authorities, and advisors. Just as children will make mistakes in childhood, parents will make mistakes in parenting, but this is certainly no justification for blanket policies that wholesale supplant parents with agents of the state. In the most general case, if a child and parent have a disagreement over an issue, that child and parent need to work through the issue. Policies like this one would provide an avenue whereby a child, unsatisfied with the resolution provided by a parent, could simply obtain the outcome in secret with the help of a state employee. Even for the most benign case this is extremely troubling. In the case where potentially irreversible and life-altering decisions are at stake, this is unacceptable.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

When it comes to protective factors, studies show that LGBTQ+ youth who attend schools with a Gender & Sexuality Alliance (GSA) and anti-bullying policies, who can use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity, and who have their chosen name and pronouns respected report better mental health outcomes (up to 50% decrease in suicidal ideation). These findings are consistent with the abundant social science research out there that substantiates the need to create and adopt policy guidelines like the ones we are presented with today--ones that celebrate gender diversity instead of stifling it. We must have policies in place that hold all school districts accountable to the same standards of equity and inclusion so that all young people can get an education while being their authentic selves. This will also help ensure that rural youth can enjoy the same protections and supportive environments as urban youth. These guidelines will not only actively foster inclusive environments for transgender and non-binary students, but they will also provide binary, cisgender people (adults and youth alike) with meaningful opportunities to examine and discuss their own privileges related to gender identity and expression. I strongly support these guidelines.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Children need eye contact, loving communication and to have their needs met: food, shelter, play, rest and cleanliness in a predictable routine. Beginning life and early childhood they need to know they are loved and special!! I can get behind these changes! These transgendered children are troubled and at risk. I don't think hiding their identities from their parents is helpful at all. We need to all work together.

Gender issues should not be addressed by teachers, it is not their responsibility, nor should it be. There is also concerns for safety that adolescents or teens may abuse this policy stating they can go in whichever bathroom they please and not be questioned. The likely change of that happening is far greater than the statistical likelihood of a child being transgender. Make policies that support homeschooling for these children, or “safe zones” but do not make policies that undermine teacher authority, parental authority and safety of the 99.9% of other children\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

After reading the model policies proposed by the VDOE it surprises me that not everyone is on board for these policies to be implemented. A students goal is to gain an education while at school, with other top goals being socializing and growing as a person. If a student is distracted with what detractors would consider mundane issues, such as incorrect pronoun usage, proper locker/bath room access, and which dress code to adhere to, these goals become distant and unimportant to them. Allowing students to pick their gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity will go a long way in showing that all students are accepted and acknowledged properly in the Virginia public school system. Imagine if you were called by the wrong prefix (Mr., Ms., Mx.) all of the time, and if you tried to correct people they dismissed it? It is disrespectful and distracting. This goes in step with the other policies mentioned in the document. The goal is to create a place where learning can happen equally for all students. It is tolerant and communal. A possible encouraging by-product of these policies is that it provides a forum for open discussion of why these policies are being brought up at all. Virginia is a diverse state that may have students that have not been able to talk to and learn about the transgender community. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a 64 year old gay man, many people did not understand me when I was young. My sexual orientation scared many people. Discrimination and bullying at school, by adults and peers, was common. Today, it is transgender youth who are misunderstood, bullied and irrationally feared. Public schools across Virginia must be held to this minimum standard to ensure that transgender youth are afforded the same opportunity as any young person to a safe and supportive school environment. Thanks to the Virginia General Assembly and to VDOE for developing such a comprehensive and sensitive model policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I know that when LGBTQ+ students' safety, including physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, are taken into consideration, we are able to attend school and grow into our full potential. Everyone deserves to feel safe and have access to education. GLSEN's 2019 National School Climate Survey shows that transgender and nonbinary students feel less safe at school and miss school more often because of feeling unsafe compared to their cisgender peers. Transgender and nonbinary students also report higher rates of victimization and discrimination than their peers, especially regarding respect for their names and pronouns and access to bathrooms and locker rooms. Transgender and nonbinary students should feel safe and included in their learning communities. No one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against in their school, which is a place where they are supposed to be able to learn and be a part of a community that accepts them for who they are. Schools teach students how to succeed but they also teach students how to treat each other. This proposed rule will make Virginia schools a better place to learn for transgender and nonbinary students, which creates a better learning environment for all. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students. Sincerely, Meira Harris\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I want my students to feel comfortable - how are they supposed to focus on a lesson if they're scared to express themselves? We used to shun interracial children, children with disabilities, children that had crushes on people of the same sex. We don't do that anymore because it's wrong. Just like it's wrong to ignore our trans youth when they need our support. Trans people are real and we need to acknowledge that and support youth that question their genders. This bill makes all youth feel safer by creating formal protection from bullying and discrimination. It allows the creation of single stall restrooms for safety and comfort - a great compromise for schools that don't want inclusive bathrooms. Our trans students are more likely to struggle in school because of depression, anxiety, bullying, and discrimination. This will help.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Start down this path, and you will regret the results. Please do not support this!\" If you do this, you are taking away parents right to teach their children right and wrong.

And I hear that many in the LGBTQ community don't get the support they need nor do they feel safe. They have the right just like every other person to safety and supportive environment. It doesn't matter what I believe or don't. Just as I wanted to be treated with care, they should to. Maybe one day we will be in a society where we don't have to spell this out. But we are not there yet. So we need this Bill & measures. It breaks my heart to read each episode of LGBTQ victimization, such as physical or verbal harassment or abuse, increases the likelihood of self-harming behavior by 2.5 times on average. That's not OK and we should so what we can to help.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

A public school system should not join in on a matter like this since sex was established at(before) birth. Children born male, are male. Children born female, are female. Any question of a child's sex should be evaluated and then the child and family should be notified of assistance with seeking mental help. Public school children should not be exposed to opposite sex children in the bathroom, locker room, etc. A situation such as this potential exposure would be a detriment to all children's lives and cause mass confusion. Sorry but my child does not need this exposure! The anti-discrimination, anti-bully programs that are already in place should be used in this situation. Also, teachers and staff should not be secretive about this or any other subject as stated in the proposal. A child's parents rightfully should know of any behavior that is outside of normal. Teachers and staff should also not be tasked with the chore of becoming mental health professionals. This whole discussion is disgusting to me. My family lives a life of love for all but in no way, shape, or form will I ever support this!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

DUH!!!\nBody:\nI STRONGLY support the model policy working to help and protect trans and non-binary students. All students deserve to learn in a safe and supportive school environment, and the fact that this is still even up for negotiation is absurd. The closed minded individuals who argue that these policies would put their children in danger or would mess up their sports teams, for example, are extremely misinformed. What a ridiculous and inconsiderate thing to say. Why are folks still treating Transgender people as if they are someone that everyone should be afraid of? C’mon now... Trans children aren’t trans because they want to bother or hurt your kids in the locker room. They are Trans because that is part of who they are. It is very real (I promise) and it quite literally has nothing to do with anyone else. Trans kids are amazing and brave and should be celebrated, or at the very least, be given the opportunity to feel safe and welcome in their learning environments. This policy will not have a negative impact on the lives of cisgender children/students (unless they are bullies) and it will have a positive impact on transgender students. Sounds great to me. Weve got to protect and uplift Trans children!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They allow a student to choose which bathroom or locker room to use, thus eliminating the privacy and safety of students. Parental rights are ignored. Schools would deceive parents concerning their child’s transgender status. Parents would not be notified if their child is being interrogated by school officials for allegedly violating these policies, or be able to intervene on the child’s behalf unless the complaints are not resolved “at the school level.” Parents who encourage their children to embrace their God-given sex could be reported by the school for child abuse or neglect for “not affirming” a transgender student. These policies violate Virginia’s parental rights statute. Also, 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 going along with the “transgender” ideology and policies.\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. (See statements about most kids outgrowing gender confusion in this Psychology Today article , as well as in this study and this one .)\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans and non-binary students are subject to harassment, intimidation, violence, ridicule and condemnation from peers, teachers and the larger community. It is sufficiently challenging to navigate childhood and adolescence; anything we can do as a community to support, affirm and empower our young people is crucially important.

Once transgender males are able to compete on the team of their choice, young women will be at a grave disadvantage, both on the athletic field and in the locker room. These proposed policies are extreme and confusing to young kids, pushing and affirming a radical choice in childhood with grave consequences for their whole life. In addition, the disregard for parents’ views and wishes discriminates particularly against religious families, making a mockery of the toleration for others the policy framers profess to believe in.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However this is going way to far with it. Schools should not be aloud to push or make decisions like this without talking with a child's parents first. Then to say that parents could be reported for abuse or neglect if a child makes a comment that their parents want them to embrace their god given sex, that is going way to far. Myself will always support my children, i believe others should as well, but abuse really. Now i strongly oppose schools letting kids just pick whatever bathroom they feel like going to. Kids will be kids and i see this becoming a real problem and could be unsafe. i think schools need to step back and stop trying to get involved with things that should be up to ones parents. Again i strongly support safety and one being themselves but this is going about it the wrong way.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The gender confusion issue has become a runaway fad that schools should not be endorsing, which is what you are proposing. This policy is opening the door to endorsing such confusion. It needs to stay a private matter. In about 10 years, the wave of mental health issues is going to start. Where a student might once have had normal confusion and curiosity during development, we're now labeling it as a gender identity disorder... a label that they can't just walk away from. This is not the job of the VDOE. This is a private matter. I oppose bullying and I oppose getting on a bandwagon for the flavor of the month social agenda topic, as well. Both are wrong. You're giving young people, who are at the most unstable times in their lives and, frankly, in history, too much power and not enough stability. I believe it is shameful that you would allow the whim of a young person to dictate the firing of a teacher, when teachers have been working their hearts out, this year. Any young person who has the whim to follow a fad and declare themselves a different gender can use that to seek control in any situation with an authority figure. Do not establish that. Additionally, CPS needs to be reserved for genuine cases of child abuse. Do not encourage the destruction of families. There are not enough social workers or foster homes and a misguided teacher could cause more harm than good by supporting such a reckless policy. Schools have enough problems. So do teachers, parents, and students. Stop trying to appease the social flavor of the month crowd. This is irresponsible. Establish a separate bathroom and leave it at that. This is none of the VDOE's business. A few years ago, the trend was that we were all completely colorblind. Now, that's no longer appropriate. Now, we notice all differences. In 5 years, this gender confusion trend will be wrong. Don't jump into it. Leave it alone. Stay in your own lane.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, I was only able to learn and grow and succeed because I felt safe, welcomed, and valued in my school environment. I STRONGLY SUPPORT these policy recommendations because they will provide a safe and inclusive learning environment for ALL students, including and especially LGBTQ+ youth. Studies have shown that LGBTQ+ youth face a higher rate of bullying, and are at higher odds for depression and suicidality -- this is something that educators and school staff (nurses, counselors, administrators, etc.) must be prepared to address, and such training will benefit ALL students regardless of whether they are LGBTQ+. These policy recommendations directly address the need for education and training for educators and school staff around these issues, and for that reason I strongly support them. Please do not let students go uncared-for; ALL students, including LGBTQ+ ones, deserve a safe and welcoming school environment in which to learn.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

No one should be bullied or demeaned. Period. Ever. But this draft guidance does not accomplish that. Instead, it indoctrinates falsehood, which is not a kindness to a person that is already suffering. Counseling and assistance should be made available for students suffering from gender dysphoria disorder (most if not all children that experience this have been traumatized, either physically or mentally [even unintentionally], and it is cruel to not help kids address the root of the problem), but brainwashing all students and staff, and proposing to spy on and turn-in parents to CPS, is not only wrong-headed, it is an assault on the freedoms of conscience, expression, privacy, and religion. Additionally, this draft guidance also seeks to undermine parents' authority to educate their children in the area of sexual mores. And in the end, it doesn't even help the gender confused child. Kids and adults that struggle with gender identification have much higher suicide ideation and suicide attempt rates than people who do not struggle with these issues. The idea has been put forth that if these folks felt \"accepted\", this would lessen the suicidal tendencies. Sadly, that is incorrect. That is not the source of the initial problem, and can therefore, not be the source of the solution. When a person has body integrity dysphoria (feels their physical body does not match their mental image of their body, i.e. I shouldn't have a left arm, or I shouldn't have feet) it would be obviously cruel to just say, \"OK, we'll agree with you and help you cut off your left arm, and this will \"heal\" you.\" NO! It is cruel, a lie, and completely ignores the aspect of the Hippocratic oath that says \"first, do no harm.\" Likewise with someone dealing with anorexia who \"feels fat\". They are not fat. Joining them in their mental disorder will not cure the mental disorder and could in fact lead to their death. Sadly, gender dysphoria is the same, but is not being treated as such in this public school guidance. These children need help and truth, not people to join them in their confusion and call it \"true\". That is a lie. Many folks who have gone so far as to have gender reassignment surgery have realized that it did not really fix their problem. Sadly, they believed the lie that it would... though there is no scientific evidence to that effect. Suicide and depression rates stay dramatically high. And now their bodies and lives are irreparably changed. They are trying to share their stories to prevent others from sharing the same sadness, but they are often censored. See www.sexchangeregret.com if you want to read more. The real key to helping these people is to get to the root of each of their individual problems. Not to start brainwashing kids at even earlier ages, and also encourage spying and distrust among peers and parents. Speaking truth to a child and trying to help them resolve an issue is not child abuse and should not be treated as such. It is calling good \"evil\" and evil \"good\". We must stand strongly against all forms of such things. This is a dangerous draft policy. I do not know if whoever reads these comments knows the Lord God Almighty, YHWH. If you do not, I would urge you to seek Him. He exists, even if you do not acknowledge Him. If you do know Him, I would point you toward Zechariah 8:16, Eph 4:25, Prov 8:7, and everything in Eph 6 about the full armor of God. You have been given a special position in your community. You are responsible to the Lord for what you choose to do with that position. I see many people on this comments page that seem to think they are being protective and kind, and yet the truth is they are being the exact opposite. Truth and love are kind. Falsehoods disguised as \"kindness\" are pure evil. Children will be harmed by this guidance if it goes through. I hope you will join me in taking action to do everything in your power to protest against this appalling draft policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This proposed legislation is contrary to the rights and responsibilities of parents who are the first and best teachers of their children including matters related to their children's sexual development. Sexual identity is a highly individual, private and critical component of children's healthy psychological, social and biological development. It is wrong and unwise for the state to interfere, with unnecessary and potentially harmful \"cookie-cutter\" approaches to solving the problems of children and young adults K-12 who, with the guidance of their parents, physicians, psychologists, etc. must work out physical, social and psychological issues of gender confusion as appropriate to each child; this should happen within the confines of the family, medical professionals and psychologists. State interference with gender identity issues only adds another level of complexity for children and teens -- the majority of which do not have gender confusion issues -- parents, educators, school administrators and local children's service agencies.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The individuals in school are their for our children’s education and that alone! They are not health, mental health or reproductive professionals but we will allow them to help our children identify with what gender they want to be? Their are far too many instances where teachers are pushing their political beliefs on students now which should be immediate grounds for dismissal as well but to think this would ever be work on any level...as a medical professional...not with my children!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Rather than balance and think through all of the people involved and the related rights, this policy tramples numerous well-established constitutional rights and therefore is guaranteed to provoke litigation and end up being overturned. Why attempt something so horrifically one-sided that tramples existing rights and will be lost. Rather than consider everyone's concerns, this is horrifically one-sided approach that ignores parent's rights, constitutional rights (including freedom of religion) all using a terrible threat that if one disagrees, one will take their children away. Also, the policy is supposed to be sensitive to students wrestling with this issue. Instead, this is written as an over the top advocacy/propaganda document - one will not create sensitivity by being entirely insensitive to other concerns, which is the case here. This is bad for transgender students too because their situation will be thrown up in the air when this policy is overturned through litigation and outcry leading to political action and reversal.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

For example, the proposed policies tell a school to withhold from the student's parents information about changes in the student's gender identity at school if the student does not want parents to know. As indicated in other comments, these children often suffer from higher incidences of mental health concerns, including suicidal ideation. Parents of such children need to be MORE aware of what is going on in their childrens' lives, not less, to be able to watch for concerning behaviors and take protective safety measures in case their child becomes suicidal (given it is at home and out of school they are most likely to try to act on such feelings). To withhold this information from the parents potentially puts the children more at risk, not less. In addition, the portion of the policy dictating that school personnel should not be allowed to question a student going into a bathroom or locker room given it can be traumatic to a transgender child - while the intent is understandable, fails to take into consideration that children will be children and seek to exploit such rules for mischievous and potentially nefarious purposes. Such a strict guideline does not provide room for school staff to question a student clearly entering the other gender's area for unsuitable purposes, such as if the teacher overhears students talking about going in the other gender's area on a date or to play a joke on the other students (let alone anything more nefarious). How many teenage movies and books have scenes where one gender expresses a desire to sneak a peek in the other gender's locker room, etc.? Such rules would enable students to act on such impulses without risk of censure. There must be a middle ground on respecting transgender students and providing them suitable bathrooom and changing areas, while guarding against potential abuse that can be damaging to all students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Those students who are conflicted as to which gender they belong, should be treated respectfully and given counseling and guidance, but this is essentially a private matter which also impacts the family of the conflicted child. No separate toilets, no participation in boy's athletics for girls who \"think\" they are, or would prefer to be boys, and vice versa.

I am writing in strong support of this guidance and urge you to consider the friendly edits listed in GLSEN and Equality Virginia’s public comments. I am non-binary transgender woman, a young non-profit professional, and an active community member in various organizations including my congregation. Growing up as a queer child, I felt alienated from some of my peers and teachers due to anti-LGBTQ comments and there were times I was scared of social repercussions of being known openly queer. I was lucky that was the extent of my negative experiences. Thankfully, I found a supportive niche in my high school so I was able to be an openly queer kid without too much struggle. I also was not out as transgender back then, and I can only imagine how different my experience would have been if I had been the *only* openly trans student in my high school at the time. Unfortunately, many LGBTQ kids across Virginia go through much worse than I did, particularly Black, Indigenous, and Brown students who are transgender or non-binary. When you are focused on your day-to-day safety and comfort, it’s very difficult to actually focus on learning either inside the classroom or in extracurricular activities. When kids are not included, safe, and comfortable in their learning environment, they cannot thrive and they face negative outcomes like lower GPAs, lower graduation rates, and even physical and verbal harassment. Every Virginia student has the right to a safe and equal learning environment. The status quo of school districts across the Commonwealth has violated that right for transgender and non-binary students. These model policies are a much needed intervention to provide school districts with the clarity, guidance, and foundation to fully support all students’ rights, particularly trans and non-binary students whose education has been undervalued as a vulnerable population. I urge you to adopt the guidance (with minor edits as mentioned above) and do the right thing by all students to address issues of equity, belonging, and safety. All students cannot succeed until and unless trans and non-binary students succeed. Thank you for your efforts! Sincerely, Thalia Hernandez\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Who’s minding the children?\nBody:\nTHE most disturbing thing I have ever seen related to public schools is that educators are signing this document in support of this policy. The quote of the day lately seems to be ‘Follow the science’. Well, I’m asking you to follow the science here as well. Do you want to destroy a generation? If this passes there needs to be a mass exodus of students from public schools to private schools or home-schooling and quick. We are losing time and ground with our youth. It’s time to stand up and stop this attack on the minds of our most precious ones, as well as this attack on our faith, and our freedom to remain in reality. If ANY child struggles, they need the support of qualified professionals and of their families, AND they need boundaries that are based on sound judgement and reality. Stay out of our families! Teach our children the subjects you are paid to teach, notify us when there are issues that you are not qualified or entrusted to deal with, and stop trying to push your agenda.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I strongly OPPOSE transgender kids sharing a restroom/locker room with my daughter! I do not want her surrounded by a bunch of male genitalia when it is her right to go into a female bathroom and feel secure to talk about female related issues with her female friends and not feel restricted or uncomfortable. This is just a way for male perverts to get into a female locker rooms. How many pedophiles/sexual predators are going to use this opportunity to “say they are a transgender“ just so they can go in and spy in the female bathrooms. This is gross! Have we not learned anything from Jeffrey Epstein? Larry Nassar?? And now you want to include these people in our female sports? After all the strides women have overcome to be equal now you want to taint that by having them join female sports!!?? Are you crazy? Why do we have to suffer just because someone does not like who they are? It is a genetic fact that men out power women in both speed and strength. If boys want to be girls then great! Let them play with a boy team, wear your wig and your fake bra and play with your boys! My children’s soccer teams discourage boys and girls playing on teams that are above their age, why? Merely because one year in age provides a substantial size and strength advantage which can be a safety hazard. So if this is the case why would you have a man play on the same team as a woman and not think you were jeopardizing that woman with the same size, strength and speed advantage? There’s been countless movies on this particular problem and they’ve all been comedies! It’s because this is a comedy! I think the real issue is trying to understand why these people want to change to a different gender to begin with, start with that, solve that! STOP pushing this liberal crap down our throats. Let little girls be little girls. Don’t deprive them of their innocence, their female camaraderie, and safety! And for God sakes start focusing on some real damn issues, this is nonsense!!! This is all a cover up so you don’t have to focus on anything that really matters to us Americans!!! Do your job!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If you look to science, we see that there are two genders and people either have an xy chromosome or an xx chromosome in every cell of their body. Why Virginia would adopt these new policies that basically deny reality to accommodate the few, in opposition the reality of the science, the harm that can come to children, taking away the rights of parents and the harm to girls and girls sports is incomprehensible. Middle school children almost always outgrow gender identity issues. Unless they are prevented by teachers and counselors who now have the right to usurp the rights of parents in this dubious ideology which with puberty blockers and surgeries will do irreparable damage to children.

I would have died if I'd had to share a bathroom or locker room with someone I knew to be male, and that is still true today as an adult. Forcing gender integration at any age is wrong. Most of these kids grow out of these feelings in late teens/early 20's, so hormones and surgery on growing humans is really unethical. IF YOU ENACT THIS, RAPE AND VIOLENCE WILL INCREASE IN SCHOOLS. These kids need lots of mental help, which I fully support. They do not need to have the world buy into their delusion. These interventions don't work, anyway.

We Christians must TRULY love our neighbors, which means giving them TOUGH LOVE when you see people suffering from mental health issues and ESPECIALLY when we see children being permanently abused by the people who are supposed to protect them.

Trans kids always have and always will exist.\nBody:\nThe provably variable nature of sex chromosomes, gonads, genitalia, and secondary sexual characteristics clearly indicates that gender is neither fixed nor binary. This is a biological fact backed up by vast amounts of scientific research. Transgender people always have and always will exist; schools can either protect their trans students from those who would deny their very existences, or they can be a force for the destruction of trans lives. I mean that entirely literally, given that trans students--particularly trans students of color--have verifiably higher rates of self harm and suicide than any other group. Transphobia, whether it is overt or the passive refusal to acknowledge the trans individual, has dire consequences for its victims. Please consider that trans children will not go away, but with progress in normalizing the protection of their physical and emotional well-being, transphobia very well could. The feelings of those who have chosen to use religion to excuse their own discomfort with the fluidity of gender simply cannot take priority over the health of trans students. Gender affirmation doesn't just feel good--it saves lives.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is well-researched and an evidence-based proposal. Public education systems are entrusted with the responsibility to serve all of our students and provide responsive, inclusive, and safe learning environments. Policies that actively support transgender students are associated with higher rates of school attendance, higher academic achievement, and improvements in both mental, socio-emotional, and physical health. As public entities entrusted with student safety, we should always act with the most vulnerable students in mind. This policy would protect previously vulnerable students and create safer, more inclusive learning environments. \"\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

You dont send boys in girls locker rooms r bathrooms.....snd you sure as hell dont punish someone else because they wont call \" Johnny \" a girl, muxh less think you have the authority to not tell parents about what is happening to their own child in school. The school has zero legal authority to do any of the above. If passed, I will petition, seek legal counsel, and boycott/ protest at every public school in Virginia i can muster up people for.

I know that this isn't the case for too many transgender and non-binary young people in our society. I applaud my state of Virginia's General Assembly for its passage of legislation that protects and supports these identities and I applaud the VDOE for its commitment to protecting and supporting these identities as demonstrated in the recently drafted Model Policies for Transgender and Non-Binary Students in Virginia Public Schools.This is demanding, but necessary work to ensure equitable treatment for all students.

Part of a productive learning environment is the ability to feel safe and know that your rights are acknowledged and protected. Anyone who is against this on the grounds that \"it's forcing different beliefs on my children\" is incorrect and has clearly not read the purpose of the guidance document - it is to PREVENT DISCRIMINATION and I think we all know there is no good argument against that. I am a cis-gender alumna of FCPS schools and I support the rights of the next generation of students to be represented and protected in an equitable manner that is recognized in official school R&R policy. We are not teaching or forcing any beliefs on students - simply preparing them for the real world which is diverse and full of people of all different identities. We are not teaching them what to believe in, simply that their beliefs can be practiced in a way that does not antagonize or minimize quality of life or learning for other students. The US Constitution is very clear on one thing: we have the right to believe anything we want, and exercise those beliefs - AND, that our rights END wherein they infringe upon those of OTHERS. Essentially, if you \"don't believe in\" trans identity, you are entitled to that belief, however you are NOT entitled to harass or otherwise disrupt the learning experience of trans and non-binary students. Discrimination is unconstitutional, and I'm glad our state is making strides to stamp it out in our education system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This should be a non-issue but some folks seemed to be trapped in the past and unable to move forward. When someone asks to “think of the family” when they are opposed to trans privacy policies, they are only thinking of their family. They are either not ready or not willing to accept and talk about Transgender folks to their children. This is an opportunity to help the future- to progress the work that has already been put into trying to help make the Trans community feel safer. Our children can grow up in a world where they are more understanding of Transgender issues, where these policies aren’t even debated. Where they can come home from school and are educated enough on the subject to talk with their parents and friends and family who may not understand or are even too afraid to understand- and they can help them understand. That work starts here. Vote yes and help build a school system that supports children who do not conform to traditional roles because the idea of those roles in general is simply the least important thing this world needs to concern itself with.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is not enough protection in our current education policies to protect trans students from discrimination from staff and their peers. Having these policies in place will ensure that our schools are more inclusive and providing safe learning environments for all students regardless of their gender identity.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The reality is that trans youth (especially trans girls) are the more vulnerable population to peer sexual violence. Imagine your teenaged girl being forced into the boys locker room...thats exactly what it's like for trans girls - if not worse.

In the words of the DSM-5: “In natal [biological] males, persistence [of gender dysphoria] has ranged from 2.2% to 30%. In natal females, persistence has ranged from 12%-50%.” (America Psychiatric Association, “Gender Dysphoria” DSM-5, 455, quoted in Lawrence S. Mayer and Paul R. McHugh, “Sexuality and Gender: Findings from the Biological, Psychological, and Social Sciences,” The New Atlantis, No. 56 Fall 2016, 106.) Although some children do explore a gender identity that differs from their biological sex during childhood (and this can be for a variety of reasons, including experiences of abuse and trauma) this very often changes by the time puberty is concluded, such that their sense of gender identity corresponds with their biological sex. Also from Wikipedia: “According to prospective studies, the majority of children diagnosed with gender dysphoria cease to desire to be the other sex by puberty, with most growing up to identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, with or without therapeutic intervention.” (“Gender Dysphoria in Children,” Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_dysphoria_in_children , Date accessed February 2, 2021) There are also studies indicating that social and peer dynamics might play a role in some teens, particularly girls, who adopt a trans identity during puberty. (Brown University, “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria,” Science Daily, 22 August 2018, https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/08/180822150809.htm , Date accessed February 2, 2021) While it is important to treat all children in schools with respect and to find practical ways to help them feel safe in their environment and with teachers and peers, this unexamined rush by adults to categorically affirm and “solidify” children’s and teen’s identity perceptions is enormously concerning and seems far more ideology-based than fact-based. Rather than science-based and “evidence-based best practices,” the contents of this document seem to rest on the adoption of many untested and unproven assumptions, which is a dangerous habit of mind that is not at all conducive to cultivating a “safe” learning environment for any child. Will children who come from homes in which gender is considered to have biological and ontological aspects and not simply a chosen, subjective construction be safe in this environment? Will children (or their parents) who are concerned about their privacy and who have a different point of view on these matters be respected? Will they face discipline for their views? Will they face stereotyping, stigma and discrimination? Are there compromises that can be found that can help students and adults with differing views work and learn together, or will implementation of policies like this become a one-sided, unilateral demand for compliance? 2) Another concern, as one who has worked in FCPS with special education and who had special education needs myself, it is very concerning how little evidence is required for a student to be considered “transgender” and be treated as such with accommodations (see 1st paragraph of Student Identification on p. 12). This is certainly not the way it works in order to qualify for recognition and accommodations in special education. What does this communicate to students with special education needs whose parents often have to provide extensive outside documentation and evidence in order for their children’s challenges to be recognized and to receive accommodations? 3) There are many other concerns with this document, but will conclude with a logistical concern. The section titled “Access to Facilities” says, “It can be emotionally harmful for a transgender student to be questioned regarding the use of restrooms and facilities. School staff should not confront students about their gender identity upon entry into the restroom” (p. 17). This appears to effectively mean that any student can enter any restroom at any time. Having worked in a middle school, I am aware of the potential for many problems and challenges with this lack of clarity in policy. Is it necessary to make bathrooms an unaccountable free-for-all considering the potential for abuse that a policy like this would open up? Is this safe for other students? Is this fair to teachers who do in fact have to deal with various inappropriate uses of bathrooms by students, but who would have vastly reduced authority to respond? Most of us have to go through the day at school or at work with some level of emotional frustration or distress over a variety of things. Does it help students who identify as transgender to communicate through policy that their emotional needs override the needs and considerations of all others? Surely there is a workable solution for bathrooms that maintains an appropriate level of safety and accountability for all involved that does not involve this level of vague open-endedness. Dear public servants in the Virginia Department of Education, please consider slowing down and providing time for more community engagement and discussion. Please also do not assume or encourage the assumption that everyone who disagrees with the contents or various aspects of this document and its policies are culturally illiterate bigots or religiously intolerant. There are many very r... [truncated]\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Public education systems are entrusted with the responsibility to serve all of our students and provide responsive, inclusive, and safe learning environments. Policies that actively support transgender students are associated with higher rates of school attendance, higher academic achievement, and improvements in both mental and physical health. As public entities entrusted with student safety, we should always act with the most vulnerable students in mind. This policy would protect previously vulnerable students and create safer, more inclusive learning environments.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have seen other negative comments saying trans & nonbinary youth are just kids going through a phase, and that simply is not true. Kids just like adults are complex humanbeings, and not all fit the generic gender mold. Children and teens are in a time of growth, exploration and expanse and they should feel safe to express themselves as this majorly impacts their mental, and therefore physical, health as a youth and as an adult. Saftey & acceptance is extremely important and should be the golden standard, without question, in our school system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am a educator in both secondary schools and higher education and acutely aware of how critical it is for students to feel safe before any learning can happen. Please consider protections for this most vulnerable student population.

I began my transition from female to male at 16, but did not begin HRT until age 18. Because of the policies in place when I attended high school (Class of ‘17) I was unable to use the boys’ bathroom for an entire two years, which resulted in me not using the restroom for over 8 hours a day 5 days a week. In health class, there was never any guidance on the health of trans bodies, which resulted in me having to find all of my information about gender dysphoria, trans mental health, etc. all online, which gave me some accurate information but a lot of false information as well. It is 2021. It is time that trans people and especially trans children are given access to the necessary care they deserve to be able to live happy and successful lives just like their cis-gender counterparts. There has been evidence of transgender and gender variant people for centuries and it is unjust to attempt to completely invalidate our exisitence. We owe it to our virginia students to pass this bill and improve their elementary and secondary school experiences.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is pushing a much more personal issue and agenda. If this passes, I know many public school teachers will leave to teach in the private schools and many parents will pull their kids out to home school. Good for them, but what about the lower income families who have no choice but to send their child to public schools? Don't they have rights? They shouldn't have to worry about their child's safety in locker rooms and bathrooms. Let students dress as the gender they \"choose\" and give them a bathroom and locker room to use. DO NOT allow the majority of students who would feel VERY UNCOMFORTABLE with having THEIR rights being infringed upon. What about the kids who want to feel safe and secure with the gender GOD gave them? What about their rights? Focus on reading, writing, history, science and math instead of pushing sex and sexual confusion onto little, impressionable minds and lives. This kind of education is not for public schools, it is for the home and parents to discuss in their families. NOT in the school system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These guidelines leave the parents out of the mix - a very bad and dangerous policy - both for the family and society as a whole. It has been shown that gender dysphoria can be treated and, with help, a teen can realize and embrace their biological sex. Under these Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) guidelines, 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. These guidelines also prohibit schools from notifying parents if a biological male is using the changing facility as their daughter - a facility that was designated for girls. There is no consideration about how this will affect the girls. Additionally, 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.\" Again a bad move to keep the parents out of touch. 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 troubling policies proposed by the VDOE are totally unworkable and will force all students, faculty and administrators to comply with an empirically false view of sex and gender. The guidelines need to be totally reworked in the light of helping teens to understand and embrace their biological sex.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, there is concerning language here that allows the rights of parents to be potentially overridden, as well as the free speech rights of the teachers and other students. Holding an opposing opinion is not by default the same as bullying or aggression. There has already been a case in Westpoint,VA of a good and well liked teacher being fired for not complying to the degree demanded by a student and their parents. Nobody bothered to think of his rights, or the fact that he had a family to support. He did nothing harmful to this student, yet was treated like trash by the school administrators. This sort of silencing of differences is another face of the very thing that trans people are fighting for. Children should be taught to discuss and understand differences, and be resilient to the existence of respectful dissent. Article 1, Section 12 of the Constitution of Virginia states: \"That the freedoms of speech and of the press are among the great bulwarks of liberty, and can never be restrained except by despotic governments; that any citizen may freely speak, write, and publish his sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that right; that the General Assembly shall not pass any law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, nor the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for the redress of grievances.\"\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans kids face a multitude of discrimination and shame in everyday life and the schools should be a safe place for them to go, be able to be who they are, without fear of retribution. With these policies in place it will set a tone that discrimination and violence against others cannot be tolerated. It also sends the message that teachers and others are safe people to be around and will accept students for who they are. The third message is that they are human beings, deserving of the same rights as all others, and should never be dehumanized by others for their identity. This is one step towards civility and wellbeing within the school setting.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I believe any reasonable citizen of the state and of this nation understands and supports the concept of ensuring that everyone's individual rights are respected and honored including, specific to this subject, those citizens who identify as transgender individuals. However, the concepts that are being advanced in this policy initiative go far beyond ensuring that those rights are respected. There is a well-known saying in this country that one person's rights end where another's begin. This proposed policy exemplifies an egregious violation of this concept. Rather than simply ensuring transgender citizens' rights are honored, these policies are trampling on the rights of parents and children who have every right to not embrace this lifestyle in their own lives. Embedded in this policy is a prohibition forbidding parents from teaching their children the values that they have every right to believe in and practice. According to this proposed policy, doing so would result in severe punitive actions against the child. Additionally, in my opinion, you have no right to engage in severe disciplinary actions against a child and to purposefully withhold those actions from the parent. In summary, this policy is clearly employing intimidation and bullying tactics to advance a moral belief that should not have to be embraced to attend public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Through its blanket endorsement of views like these, the VDOE has gone far beyond the path the General Assembly prescribed. The model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children and educate them on issues of sex and gender identity at an appropriate time. And schools should not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible “gender transitions.” I am extremely concerned about the trend to assume that children -- whom we don't trust to make a whole host of key decisions about their wellbeing because of their not yet fully developed brains and emotions -- can make at times irreversible decisions about their gender identity at extremely young ages. Children go through many stages, some of them quite contradictory, and should not be encouraged to take these irreversible decisions.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

But forcing transgender ideology on our kids in some kind of social experiment is wrong. I'm sure most the people who support this policy similarly want all kids, no matter what they are experiencing, to be loved and not mistreated. That intention is laudable. But force feeding children the dogmas of secular progressivism isn't loving them, telling confused kid they are actually not confused isn't loving them. There are millions of Virginians who still believe sex is a biological reality, and that feelings don't determine reality. At the very minimum, make some room for them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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.

I have worked as a teacher in an elementary school since 2004 and this is completely inappropriate. While I teach with an unbiased opinion on every topic, I cannot hide the truth that you are born with a specific gender. This goes into teaching about life choices. We might as well encourage young people to smoke, drink, and use drugs because it feels good and they want to try it. Completely inappropriate. Plus, children are minors. To ask educators to hide a student’s choice from parents is completely unethical. In addition, allowing all genders to enter any locker room, opens up possibility for abuse of the innocent. Privacy should be protected for boys and girls. There are handicapped bathrooms for single use. Teachers are already struggling to stay in the schools based upon rules from Covid. This bill will empty the classrooms of amazing teachers, to include myself.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Allowing students of the opposite natal sex into restrooms and changing areas will cause distress for many children who struggle with anxiety, girls who are menstruating, and especially girls who have been traumatized in certain ways. These policies would govern not only restroom use but also everyday speech. (See Model Policy draft, pp. 12-13.) Because the policies would apply to the entire student population, they would create confusion in impressionable minds, and needlessly: even among children who do experience gender dysphoria, most of them will accept their natal sex after adolescence. (See my footnotes 1, 2, 3.) I find it reckless that these policies generally prohibit staff from disclosing a change in a student’s gender expression to his/her parents (draft, p. 12). Given the increased rates of depression, anxiety, and self-harm in children with gender dysphoria (see my footnote 4), parents should be notified and involved if their child exhibits gender dysphoric ideation or behavior. Rather than adopting these policies, which eliminate protected areas for natal girls and mandate transgender-informed grammar for everyone, schools should instead persist in zero tolerance for bullying and provide individualized accommodations as needed for students with gender dysphoria, such as more single-user restrooms and changing areas, in easily accessible or discreet locations, depending on student needs.

A trans friend of mine was beaten when they were in high school - for using EITHER the men's or the women's bathrooms. Lack of acceptance at school and at home leads to a significant increase in suicide risk. With a higher proportion of students identifying as transgender or nonbinary than ever before, having clear protections for them is more important than ever.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Medical Decisions without Parental Consent\nBody:\nI strongly oppose the transgender guidance document. Minors need their parents’ consent and protection for their health and psychological well-being. If a student is struggling with their gender identity, PARENTS NEED TO KNOW, so that they can proactively support their children in healthy ways. We know that people with gender-identity struggles often suffer from depression and other life-threatening conditions. Depriving parents of this knowledge about their children ENDANGERS THE CHILDREN’S LIVES! All students also need protection from unwanted sexual contact. Students who feel uncomfortable sharing bathrooms and locker rooms with people who have different sexual anatomy MUST NOT BE FORCED to do so. If this measure goes through, PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL LOSE ENROLLMENT from families who refuse to force their children to expose themselves in this way, and who refuse to send their children to a school that is committed to deliberately deceiving the parents. Furthermore, children who go through social gender “transition” without proper medical and parental support WILL SUFFER PSYCHOLOGICAL HARM.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I think it is important that we respect transgender students. They should be able to use their affirming name and pronouns without parental permission. ? Allow transgender students to use their chosen name on non-legal records without legal intervention and provide a consistent, clear, and publicly available path for students to notify the school to update their chosen name on non-legal records. ? Ensure that all documentation which identifies students maintains their confidentiality ? Require school staff to consistently use a student’s chosen name and hold them accountable when they do not. ? Allow transgender students to use their chosen pronouns, including non-binary pronouns such as the singular form of “they,” in school without legal or medical interventions. Provide a clear path for students to notify the school to update their gender identity on non-legal records. ? Require school staff to consistently use a student’s chosen pronoun and hold them accountable when they do not. We should not delay implementing these policies. We need these polices now before more harm is done to transgender and gender nonconforming students. In the absence of a clear policy regarding using chosen pronouns at LCPS, teachers have been advised to report students to guidance when a student asks to use pronouns different from their registration. The guidance counselor then contacts the parents to confirm the use of the chosen pronouns. This not only \"outs\" the child, possibly creating an unsafe home environment but forces LCPS staff to misgender students. This is contrary to best practices which state that chosen names and pronouns should be affirmed. We must be proactive in supporting LGBTQ+ students, staff, and families. We need clear and consistent policies and practices across LCPS that affirm and support LGBTQ+ students. Sharing trans status with families p. 12 School divisions will need to consider the health and safety of the student in situations where students may not want their parents to know about their transgender status, and schools should address this on a case-by-case basis. 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. Names and pronouns if parents and students disagree p.13 We should respect the student's request. In the situation when parents or guardians of a minor student (under 18 years of age) do not agree with the student’s request to adopt a new name and pronouns, school divisions will need to determine whether to respect the student’s request, abide by the parent’s wishes to continue using the student’s legal name and sex assigned at birth, or develop an alternative that respects both the student and the parents. This 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. Names and pronouns in school records and daily use p.14 School divisions should develop solutions to support a transgender student’s wishes for privacy. For example, schools could consider maintaining the student’s legal name and sex assigned at birth as sensitive information in their student information system that requires additional privilege to access. The student information system can then separately include the asserted name and gender identity as additional information that is used to the greatest extent possible to populate school-related documents and are available to other users. The protection of the student’s legal name and gender as sensitive information would prevent a student’s transgender status from being disclosed, such as by a substitute teacher. In situations where school divisions are required to use or to report a transgender student’s legal name or sex assigned at birth, such as for purposes of standardized testing or student data reporting to the VDOE, school staff should adopt practices to avoid the inadvertent disclosure of such information. Additionally, schools should eliminate gender markers from their forms, documents, and records when feasible. Gendered activities for all students p. 16 School divisions should review any gender-based policies, rules, and practices to determine whether they serve a legitimate educational goal or otherwise non-discriminatory purpose. Any single-gender activity or program should not be premised on generalizations or stereotypes about the different talents, capacities, or preferences of any gender. For example, the composition of choruses should be gender-inclusive and based only on vocal range or quality requirements. Overnight trips p. 16 For overnight field trips, the school should not force the 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. It is important that school divisions adopt policies and procedures that are focused on the safety of all students and seek to address privacy interests in situations involving individuals undressing or showering. School divisions should ensure that all students who participate in extracurricular activities that involve overnight trips are aware of the school’s policies and options available to them in advance. Restrooms and locker rooms p. 17 Students should be allowed to use the fac... [truncated]\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There are around 2 percent of the population (Children who are questioning with persistent dysphoria, and adolescents and adults). It's a small group, but a vulnerable group who face hateful comments and discrimination which affects their mental health and ability to thrive in our community. If you would like--I have been involved in educational initiatives at UVA, VCU, and Georgetown and beyond on national and international levels and my belief is that the voices of these individuals (personal and moving) would have anyone who listened--change their minds about whatever they think they know about these wonderful people. My clinical practice has approximately 2500 health visits a year and I am one of the founding members of the Transgender Health Care Alliance of Central Virginia.

These guidelines are for all children.They are to protect our Trans student population. To insure that the guidelines for all Virginia's children have the same protection. That they are safe at school. That no one will be allowed to bully and discriminate against them. That the schools will not tolerate bullying by students, teachers or staff. It is also for the entire student body of Virginia's schools. It teaches our children to be good citizens. It teaches all students to be caring, supportive and inclusive. It teaches them the bullying is wrong and will not be tolerated. Our children learn to be good citizens and caring human beings. All children must be safe in our schools so that they are free to concentrate their energies on education. In out America there is NO ACCEPTABLE reason to be against these guidelines.

To turn this upside down is both an insult to science and to the common sense of millions of Virginia residents. To allow males to compete in female sports and activities and vice versa is an insult to all of these young men and women strive to compete and be the best they can be relative to fair competition.

NO. a thousand times NO!\nBody:\nTransgender confusion warps a child's mind. Girls sharing bathrooms with boys who think they are girls violates the privacy of both sexes. Girls competing in sports with boys who think they are girls (and boys competing with girls who think they are boys) is an unfair competition. It compares apples to oranges. This confusion is not healthy. This confusion will lead to more teen suicides. Strongly Oppose. Absolutely not. The solution is to mentor the child through their difficult stages of adolescence in healthy and purposeful ways. Model policies disregard role of parents The Virginia Catholic Conference is the public policy agency representing Virginia’s Catholic bishops and their two dioceses. For the following reasons, the Conference opposed HB 145 and SB 161 during the 2020 Virginia General Assembly session and now urges the Department of Education to reject the proposed model regulations drafted in response to that legislation: Schools have a duty to protect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students. No child should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, hotel rooms or other intimate settings with a member of the opposite biological sex. Many children would feel uncomfortable when they encounter a member of the opposite sex – particularly adults – in gendered facilities or when entering a shared hotel room as part of an overnight school activity. Children, particularly adolescents, can experience hypersensitive and traumatic reactions to these situations. The model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children. Schools should not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible “gender transitions”. For a school system to facilitate a child’s, particularly a young child’s, “gender transition” is not leadership but rather irresponsibility. Role of parents Just as parents must give consent for over-the-counter medications, field trips and extracurricular activities, they have the constitutional right to guide the healthcare and education of their children. The U.S. Supreme Court has noted: The child is not the mere creature of the State; those who nurture him and direct his destiny have the right, coupled with the high duty, to recognize and prepare him for additional obligations. [1] Parents know their children better than anyone and have their best interests in mind. When children find themselves struggling with gender dysphoria, they need their parents’ support and counsel. Yet, t he Department has premised its regulations on a blanket endorsement of gender identity theory that diverges sharply from the views of many parents. In doing so, it has made a policy determination not referenced anywhere in the underlying legislation and therefore not delegated to it by the General Assembly; that unauthorized policy assumption states: For many people, their gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth. For others, their internalized gender identity does not necessarily correspond to the sex assigned at birth, where the gender identity may be one in a range such as transgender, nonbinary, or gender-expansive . Gender identity is considered an innate characteristic that most children declare by age five to six (Lamb & Lerner, 2015). Alarmingly, the proposed regulations assert as fact that children declare their gender identity by kindergarten or first grade. Moreover, the document would virtually codify gender identity theory into statewide educational policy without acknowledging that there are undisputed scientific truths to the contrary. For example, neuroscientist and author Debra H. Soh, Ph.D. , has written, “Biological sex refers to whether we are female or male, based on our anatomy and reproductive functions. The concept of sex is, by definition, binary.” Dr. Stephen B. Levine, M.D. , a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, has testified that : Sex as defined by biology and reproductive function cannot be changed. While hormonal and surgical procedures may enable some individuals to \"pass\" as the opposite gender during some or all of their lives, such procedures carry with them physical, psychological, and social risks, and no procedures can enable an individual to perform the reproductive role of the opposite sex. The Department’s proposed policies would pit children against their parents when it comes to important questions about sex and gender identity: “School divisions will need to consider the health and safety of the student in situations where students may not want their parents to know about their transgender status … There are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student’s request to affirm their gender identity...” (Recommended Standard, p.12) Dr. Levine has also noted: For a child to live radically different identities at home and at school, and to conceal what he or she perceives to be his or her true identity from parents, is psychologically unhealthy in itself. The DOE proposal thus undercuts open and honest conversation between parents and their children. It also obstructs parents from active involvement in the life of their child at school. Moreover, the proposed guidance document violates the presumption of parental autonomy in Virginia. Code Sec. 1-240.1 provides that a parent has the fundamental right to make decisions concerning the upbringing, education and care of the parent’s child . Finally, the proposed regulations provide no accommodations for students and teachers whose sincerely and deeply held religious beliefs and understanding of matters of gender and human sexuality do not accord with the views underlying the proposed policies. This tyouth educator, therefore, opposes the proposed “Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools.”\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

People literally followed me home from school regularly as they physically assaulted me. I'd like to think in our \"woke\" culture that this isn't the case anymore, but I know this is not true. In fact, I am close with a family whose transgender daughter was assaulted right outside her classroom - to the point that she lost consciousness. She was assaulted after her peers confirmed that she had been assigned male at birth. The response from the school was disgustingly negligent. The child and her family? They felt the need to move, yet again, having already changed schools three times in the previous two years. From a developmental standpoint, gender identity aside, every time a child changes schools it sets them back academically at least 6 months. This is alarming. Let's add in the challenges that occur when a child is bullied, and compound that with the comorbid issues of anxiety and depression, possible body dysmorphia, and the fact that GROWN ADULTS are telling CHILDREN that they are monstrosities...and you can see a rapid spiral that undermines any effort the larger society might be making to educate our young people. There is no space in education for institutionalized discrimination, regardless of status. The children aren't going to school to be judged on anything other than their academic merits. The fact that there are parents on here who are opposed is appalling to me, as a parent of 5 myself. It is pure ignorance to think that another child who is struggling with their identity has to also incorporate the pressures of their greater society's judgment as well, in a space that should be reasonably insulated from those same pressures. The thing is, those young people eventually grow up. They grow up, and they remember all the terrible things people said to them and about them. And then they change the world.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am writing to oppose the proposed VDOE policy for the treatment of transgender students in Virginia Public Schools for the 2021-2022 school year regarding the following issues: If students are to be treated equally, then there should be no distinction between how students are treated consistent with their gender identity. To treat someone different because of their gender identity is by definition discrimination. Forcing school staff to refer to a student by the student’s preferred pronoun violates the school staff’s freedom of speech. This violates the first amendment by prohibiting the free exercise of religion and abridging the freedom of speech. How can a person’s perceived emotional needs restrict someone else’s rights, and possibly effect their own emotional needs? “It is important that school divisions adopt policies and procedures that are focused on the safety of all students and seek to address privacy interests in situations involving individuals undressing or showering (pg 17).” If this is true, then allowing students that are biologically different from their gender identity to access a restroom or locker room that is designated for students of the opposite biological sex, violates the privacy interests of the cisgender students. Why should a transgender student’s preference, violate multiple student’s privacy interests? This would restrict cisgender student’s “access to restrooms, locker rooms, and changing facilities that are sanitary, safe, and adequate, so that they can comfortably and fully engage in their school programs and activities (pg 17).” If a cisgender student’s privacy interests are violated by this policy, will a “multi-disciplinary school team meet with the student (and parents/guardians) to develop a plan to accommodate the student’s needs and requests (pg 20)?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I believe that all children should be able to receive an education free of bullying for any reason. However I do not believe it is the school's job to teach, promote or encourage any child to question or reject their gender, or teach them that somehow the gender they are born with is wrong. No one is \"assigned\" a gender, unless one is born a hermaphrodite, which is rare. I believe it is the basest of child abuse to confuse children about their sexual identity or make them feel guilty about to which gender they were born, not assigned.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

All school districts should be required to adopt policies to help eliminate those negative behaviors, on the part of both a student's classmates and the professionals with whom they interact. As a cisgender gay man, I well remember the negative experiences tied to my refusal to conform to gender stereotypes - I would not repeat primary or secondary school for anything because of it. For example, the fact that I enjoyed playing with My Little Pony during elementary school was clearly something I had to hide from everyone but my closest friends, of whom there were very few. The isolation I experienced has unquestionably shaped my life - while I am happy as I am, I cannot help but wonder how differently my own life would have turned out were I not forced to hide large portions of myself until college. I cannot imagine how much worse the experience would be as a fully transgender or gender-nonbinary individual. I take great exception with the idea that people do not know who they are at a young age - we accept without argument that cisgender people understand their gender identity. As far back as elementary school, I understood that I was gay. I may not have known that there was a single, encapsulating word that articulated why my male friends had crushes on girls and I had crushes on boys, but I certainly understood that I did. Gender behavior norms are taught; the prejudice against those who do not conform to them is taught. It is time that we established a framework that allowed people to express themselves on whatever side of those gender norms they would like without fearing for their safety (mental or physical). Consistent standards across all school districts is one key way to ensure that the best available approaches are being used to benefit the most people. Our schools should teach science, math, english, history, art, sports - not hate, division, or discrimination. As a Virginia cisgender man, I strongly support this guidance.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Gender is the assignment of character attributes that are equally distributed among all human beings (strength, leadership, weakness, compliance, et al) to one gender or the other. Gender compliance maintains a binary division of power that keeps women from having rights and privileges equivalent to men. Trans is an expression of rebellion to the constraints of the binary. Trans may be a transitional phase for the dominant culture, as we move towards a society that respects each of us as individuals, instead of constraining and policing us as members of one or the other of the genders The individuals who express themselves through \"trans\" are no less deserving of respect than those who cooperate with their gender assignment. We have much to fear from the binary, which polices men into \"winners and losers\" mentality and diminishes women into fear of walking out alone at night. We have nothing to fear from trans - trans-folk need our support. They are vulnerable and more likely than gender compliant individuals to be harassed, discriminated against, and killed.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I strongly support all policy that affirms and empowers transgender youth. Protecting these kids will in fact save lives. It is well documented that policies which contribute to the neglect or mistreatment of LGBTQ+ youth often lead to increased substance use disorders, suicidal ideation or action, mental health concerns, homelessness, and a number of other health and wellbeing disparities among this population. These kids are worth affirming, celebrating, and protecting.\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.

A supportive environment is surely better than a hateful one. We must teach our kids inclusion and love.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Children are assigned a gender at birth that is based upon their physical anatomy. Transgender (trans) children are born with a gender identity that is not based on their physical anatomy, rather, is based upon the very soul of who they are. Transgender children can begin to express their inherent gender identity during preschool years or even earlier, an age at which they are developmentally incapable of understanding the concept of gender identity. Other children come to terms with their gender identity at a later age or even as adults. These innocent children quickly learn that some children & adults in their lives do not accept and support them because they are transgender. So, these children wake up every morning and live every minute of every day in a state of being on constant guard in their encounters with others in their environment in order to be safe from emotional, verbal or physical harm. Their only respite/relief is when they are present with the loving, unconditional support of those who are \"safe\" in their lives such as parents, family, providers, teachers or, if they are lucky enough, other transgender children and adults. However, far too many transgender children do not have the loving, unconditional support of significant \"safe\" people in their lives. These kind, creative, friendly, bright, talented, capable, loving children deserve to grow up, develop and learn in an environment that is safe, protective, supportive, and nurturing. Their school and community environments must be free from unkindness, harassment, bullying, and potential physical and emotional harm. According to The Trevor Project's survey of 40,000+ LGBTQ youth, transgender and nonbinary youth who report having their pronouns respected by all or most of the people in their lives attempted suicide at 1/2 the rate of those whose pronouns weren't respected. Respecting the pronouns of our transgender and nonbinary youth saves so many lives. It is essential that our schools are safe for all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy would take us back to a time when only the male view was predominate. Biologically there are only 2 sexes (this is based on science) male and female. Just because someone psychologically believes they are other than their sex at birth does not change their biological being. It also does not give them the right to insist that all others accept what they think. What about the psychological harm and possible physical harm to girls who identify as female finding themselves sharing the same bathroom, sharing same gym and competing in sports with birth males who identify as female. As we have already seen transgender boys/men out perform girsl/women in \"women's\" sports. They are taking title and scholarships away from girls and women.

In addition, I do not believe these mandates will help any of our children, even the ones struggling with transgender issues. These mandates will only end up isolating and ostracizing them more while adding much confusion and distraction to the overall school community. Is there any proof that these mandates will make them feel more loved, less harassed, and safe?!! Once again resources and attention are being taken away from the main goal of our education system to provide services that could be better supplied by other professionals. The goal of our education system is to develop the academic skills of our children in the areas of math, science, history, and English, NOT attempt to meet all the various needs of our children. It is the job of the parents with the support of local churches, community groups, and specialized gov't agencies to meet the other needs. At least 80% of the department's budget/$, resources/people, innovation/energy, and time should be committed to the academic goal defined above. Every time we ask the education system to take on another service other than the goal of core academics, we dilute it's effectiveness. And we are currently experiencing the results! Many of our students are failing and worse, graduating without the education they deserve! Why are we surprised? The VA Department of Education should stop trying to increase the scope of their job and focus on providing excellent academic education to our children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The intention is to protect the transgender rights of children but the tolerance will also be given to staff, adults, teens, volunteers & potential predators who may exploit what is seen as a goodwill gesture toward transgenders. Full use of school facilities...meaning restrooms, leaves children vulnerable to sexual predators and groomers.

First, the public school system should not be put in this position. School should be a safe place for children of all ages. That includes boys and girls feeling safe to go to the bathroom without the fear of a grown man or woman being in the next stall or in the same locker room. Second, leave our children out of your political agenda. Let them be kids without having THIS pushed down their throats. When they turn 18 and become a legal adult, they can think and make decisions on their own. If they choose to be gay or trans, then that is their choice, not their parents or the schools. These children's brains are still developing. They don't know what they want for supper or what to wear in the mornings, they surely are not mature enough to decide if they are gay or not. Which for the record God chose you to be the sex that you are. Why don't we teach these kids to love themselves the way they were made, the way God loves them. Thirdly, what happens when someone starts yelling sexual assault or rape? Do you realize you are paving a golden path for pedophiles? Do you realize how much this is going to hurt our children mentally, physically and emotionally? If this gets passed through my child will not be involved in this insanity. I pray for this country.

The proposed policy drastically elevates one group above all others, hurts young girls (not to mention students who have suffered abuse at the hands of the opposite gender and then would be forced to give up their safe spaces of locker rooms/restrooms to that same opposite gender) , and opens wide the door to abuse of this policy by any student. Schools should not be hiding things about students from their parents, students should not be able to go into opposite restrooms and locker rooms without being questioned, and the transgender ideology should not be forced down everyone's throats. It's one thing to support the rare individual who struggles with gender dysphoria; it's another thing to make transgenderism seem so cool and special and elevated to impressionable,awkward kids that they become convinced that they are transgender when they aren't. Affirming them only cements them in that confusion and sets them on the path to irreversible medical interventions. Additionally, the policy cites lobbying/resource groups who all are echo chambers of each other and the policy doesn't cite views that challenge its shaky premises including that gender is being increasingly viewed as a spectrum. These guidelines reveal how the VA department of education cares more about being the ideological darling child of the woke transgender lobby groups than taking care of ALL the Commonwealth public school students. I absolutely oppose these guidelines and will be keeping my kids out of Virginia public schools because of them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I want all children to feel supported and loved as they navigate through such tricky times as adolescents and young adults. This guidance, however, seems punitive and discriminatory of those who are not transgender. Concern is also raised over potential exposures via the broad dress code definitions during sports activities. There has to be a better way to help all children feel supported than with punitive guidelines and forcing uncomfortable situations on anyone, no matter their beliefs. We have the opportunity to lead the nation in a unifying guidance document without allowing politics dictate the policy.

In reviewing these guidelines, although inclusive and praiseworthy, they are going to be a very \"heavy lift\" for many school districts in this state. I am speaking from the experience when a 20+yr colleague of mine in the school became transgender and as a 20+ year teacher. The biggest issue was around shared lavatory and locker room facilities. Single occupant changing/lavatory facilities should be available for any student who would wish to use them. In an ideal world, a student should be able to use the facilities of the gender of their choice. However, I can't imagine any anti-bullying program being good enough to ensure the safety and well being of a student making this choice for a gender that is not biological. If this was my child, I would be terrified for their safety. Another option has to be available. Likewise, as contrary to ideological purity that this may be, I am opposed to requiring a student to undress in the company of a student whose biological gender makes them uncomfortable. This is no more \"right\" than requiring a student to undress in the company of students whose gender they don't identify with. This needs to be reconsidered to find a different solution than one based in the \"ideal\" world that we don't live in, and the actual one that many, many school districts to.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Many people are commenting on the \"objective, observable facts\" of what gender is, as if gender isn't a fluid concept in the first place. Some are arguing that this policy reinforces the idea that \"gender is meaningless,\" as if this policy will directly derail their own gender identity, to which I highly suggest they take a Gender Theory class. The real objective, observable facts are this: Transgender students will continue to be bullied and feel unsafe in their own place of education if there are no consequences put in place. I find it pretty childish, heartless even, that so many adults find it necessary to argue the right of students who are simply being themselves. To be in support of this policy is to be in support of basic human decency and respect.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I believe if these changes are implemented that my children (and family) will be the ones facing discrimination. I would not feel safe sending my young daughter and special needs son to school if this policy is passed. My son has faced discrimination from the public school system just this year. He has autism and anxiety, among many other medical conditions. I was notified 2 weeks before the start of school that he would not be allowed to attend in person. Even though that is the choice we had made months prior. The only reason they did this is because he was not able to wear a mask. Tell me that isn't discrimination. Because of his disability, they were not allowing him at school. The only response I got from the director of special education basically said sorry we have to think about our staff and other students. Which, to me, said they didn't care about my childs needs enough to try working it out. I don't even have the words to say how strongly I feel that these policies should not be passed.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The gender binary was constructed to further the cause of white supremacists eugenics, and many studies have proven that gender affirmation saves the lives of trans and gender nonconforming students and youth. When LGBTQ+ youth see their identities accepted and celebrated, it improves their mental health enormously. I have known so many queer and trans people personally who are terrified to exist in public because of the hate that is often thrown at them. As elected officials, you have the power to change this. Our government has a responsibility to its citizens, and not allowing trans people to use the bathroom goes directly against the federal nondiscrimination policy that aims to protect all LGBTQ+ people.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I do not oppose students being transgender, as I do not oppose students being Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, ADHD, etc. There are policies ALREADY in place that protect students from bullying and discrimination and those need to be followed. What is being proposed forces a particular view on ALL, with the threat of discipline to students and faculty, if non-compliant. School should be safe and focused on learning. Social issues should be dealt with outside of that environment. Children were given to parents, not the state. Parents are free to encourage their children to be who they want to be, but the school's purpose is EDUCATION, not social engineering.

Many people at times struggle with a variety of issues that disrupt mental health. Policy makers will find it impossible to accommodate the various sides of this issue. All positions on this issue will be bullied. When you chose to ignore what science so easily tells us you create confusion. Having worked with adolescents who experience turmoil, questions of sexual identity will be a time bomb. We have largely been a Christian nation with beliefs rooted in a Judeo-Christian ethic and urge policy makers tp build policy based on that ethic. To suggest to children their sexual identity is up to their choice is to introduce the greatest confusion. Follow the science. Sexual identity is hardwired into the genes.

Of course all students should have the ability to feel safe and supported, but these mandates violate the rights of all students and teachers. Bullying and abuse are covered in existing mandates that capture the transgender student experience. Allowing transgender students to use bathrooms and restrooms would be a violation of privacy rights for ALL students. Taking away the rights of parents to teach their children and guide them on their journey is brainwashing and abuse in itself! This is censorship of any family that has different views than yours and of that of the transgender activist groups. Just because others believe something different than you, we (students and parents) should not be punished.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I in no way condone bullying or being abusive to someone who has made the transgender decision. The path should run both ways. They should not bully me because I disagree with their choice and refer to them in their natural gender as I see them. That's the problem with society today nobody can agree to disagree. Now it is if you don't think or believe the way I do then you are a racesist, homophobe, or what ever tittle they want to pin on you. But I do not agree with transgender bathrooms in our schools you are asking for trouble and when did the school system decide they raise our children better then the parent.

Click to read why\nBody:\nThere is no reason to wreak more havoc on our children. They've had such a rough go with school closures, face coverings, and depression that they certainly don't need added confusion and tension . True gender according to chromosomes is identifiable before a child is even born. This is science . Change this, and everything will need adjusted according to the next persons preferences. Policies like this mold our children into whining - get whatever I want - babies. Whining isn't something teachers should be expected to put up with on top of trying to give our children a decent education. I'm not even sure that's possible this day in America's government schools, when all's relative and triggers are unavoidable.. If you expect to turn toleration around, you better start listening to the other side and looking in the mirror. What kind of world do we want for our children? One that accepts anything and everything as good and right and relative? Or one that is based on the Truth ? Thank you for considering my deeply held beliefs. -A concerned parent\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I want to express strong support for this initiative protecting and supporting Transgender students in Hanover County and all Virginia school divisions. I and my family have witnessed firsthand the harm that is done when transgender students are harassed, singled out and made to feel unsafe in their school communities. It happened in my daughter's middle school. It was difficult for me to explain to my children that sometimes people,out of hate and ignorance,can treat people that way just for existing as a trans person. Please continue these efforts to provide a positive, safe, nurturing school environment for transgender students. This guidance sends the message that equity is paramount. It sends the message that our teachers and administrators will be supported when they participate in solutions and education regarding situations of bullying, harassment, or discrimination that arise regarding our transgender students. Supporting transgender students is the right thing to do and the right message to send to all Virginia families. Thank you It's the right thing to do and the right message to send all Virginia families.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The quality of education has declined in Virginia while progressive agendas like this transgender policy have become the norm. Promoting liberal ideologies should not be the aim of our public school system. I am sure most parents, teachers, administrators and students agree that people of all walks of life should be respected and treated with kindness and dignity. No one is arguing to the contrary, however, this policy proposal extends far beyond the realm of education, inserting itself into family relationships and values (see Standard p13 which could jeopardize parental roles and rights). It is also quite concerning that the draft policy p18 states, \" Access to facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to a student’s gender identity shall be available to all students.” This opens wide the potential for abuse and indecent exposure and uncomfortable situations for kids that are already grappling with many challenges in a school environment where their main focus should be to learn.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Where do we find such people? The infringement on parental rights is astounding. Remember, when you take over the responsibility you become liable. Who among our glorified educators is now going to be qualified to perform the gender counseling? This looks much like a school takeover of a crucial aspect of a child's identity while confusing the hell out of his or her fellow students. This is an outrageous overreach of the role of public school educators who are struggling with the performance of their current responsibilities. Parents will not be able to exit the public school system fast enough, hence the pressure for school choice and home schooling. The teacher's unions will never successfully compete with angry parents. Look for future defunding of public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is clear that the people opposing these measures have not read the guidelines and do not understand the lives of transgender youth and the challenges they face. Opponents of measures ensuring that we have gender-inclusive community spaces such as public schools are not motivated by an interest in fairness, equity or inclusivity, nor is their position informed by research, compassion; rather, they are basing their reactionary positions on fear and the desire to cling to an antiquated (and incorrect) understanding of gender and perceived gender roles. Trans youth deserve the same respect and protections afforded all students; as a group particularly vulnerable to bullying, they no doubt deserve additional consideration and accommodation. Public policy must serve the people, using the best information available. That information, based in evidence, supports the measures proposed herein, and I strongly urge that these guidelines be adopted with due haste. Sincerely, Priya Curtis\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

For those who are in opposition to this policy, I sincerely hope you can educate yourself on trans issues and see why protections for transgender and non-binary people is so important.

I am absolutely, 110% opposed to the transgender school policies that are proposed for several reasons which are outlined below: 1. Put God back in schools and see what happens. Stop having these nonsense drills to prepare students for an intruder and focus on making sure the students are taught how to act so that these threats aren't an issue any longer. Do your research on this, focus on the school shootings that have taken place since the bible and prayer was removed from schools, and then process the facts. Treating everyone fairly isn't important, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. If a child gets their feelings hurt for not getting the honor roll, then perfect, you have given that child another reason to work a little harder and hopefully receive an honor roll certificate at the next opportunity. Don't punish the students who work hard to get the honor roll by taking away the praise they deserve, so that a student who didn't earn the honor roll's feelings aren't hurt; in life, you have to work hard for what you want or you'll never have it. Do NOT let students leave public schools thinking that it is okay to live on welfare - IT ISN'T in most cases. You should work for what you want, or you shouldn't have it. There are no excuses in the life of a failure, public schools should not let students think that there are. Having God to pray to and guide you during these times will help tremendously. 2. No child should be allowed to have conversations about their gender with anyone in a public setting without their parents being fully aware of the situation. Allowing this WILL cause heartache and even more confusion for the student(s). A child has to be comfortable with who they are in all aspects of their life, they can not possibly be one \"person\" at school and another in their home life and be happy. 3. Public schools are a place that is intended for students to learn and grow as individuals so that they become responsible, respectful members of society upon graduating. No student should be having conversations about gender when they should be learning. Schools are NOT responsible for making sure students are gender secure, that has to start at home. You have to let this work itself out and remain a neutral party, a safe place for ALL students. 4. Don't change history, don't make math harder than it needs to be, don't teach students how to test Teach these kids how to succeed in life; give them the tools and support that they need to be a smart, successful adult and at that point, they can decide who they are. Without the knowledge to make the right decisions in life, violence and ignorance will continue to grow at a staggering rate. School systems across America have forgotten what is important, what is right, and what is wrong. They aren't even concerned with getting back to the nitty-gritty and correcting the issues that they have caused in this world for fear of hurting someone's feelings. Screw feelings, everyone has them, and never will everyone be happy - DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE GREATER GOOD. This conversation should not be happening right now, or ever. It is disgusting to me that the folks who are being paid with my tax dollars are concerned about transgender equality. Teach the students right from wrong and watch this issue disappear. Then, and only then, the folks in these paid positions can focus on decision making that actually involves learning and teaching students right from wrong. Stop brainwashing kids to think that liberalism is okay; teach them the facts, dating back to the beginning of time, unedited , and let them decide. I mean it when I say that the people who are making decisions on the education of our children are 110% responsible for the violence and hatred in America and they need to be punished.

It is the parents responsibility to teach their children on sensitive topics like transgenderism. When our country is in such a crises, perhaps we should return to those things that made America into such a great country. Throughout history cultures that embraced the transgender lifestyle quickly experienced destruction. Our nation was founded on the Bible, those who follow that book and the God who wrote it have life. Those who reject it experience destruction. Please choose life for our Commonwealth by teaching our children what lines up with the Bible that God made you male or female, whichever one you were born.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This policy is anti-scientific and it promotes the harmful myth that gender is fluid when each human is scientifically born male or female. To allow a male identifying as a female to have access to female restrooms and locker rooms, or vice versa, is a state-sponsored abusive and predatory environment. To allow a biological male to participate in female sports is unfair, at best. A biological male is physically made differently than a female. Males and females are created differently and thereby think differently. Instead of celebrating our differences this policy tries to make everyone all the same. To address a child as young as first grade and confuse them with such radical thinking is abhorrent. No tax-paying parent should have to subject their innocent child to this unsafe environment and indoctrination in exchange for public education. The disregard for religious freedom in this policy is unconstitutional. You must vote against this policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is a wealth of learning to be accomplished by children. We as the adults in their lives need to be less concerned about reshaping their minds to fit a new social agenda and more concerned about actually educating. These proposed actions will cause a greater distraction from both learning and teaching. It adds chaos to an environment that is already struggling. It will create even greater hostility rather than an environment of peace and acceptance. The focus needs to return to true education. Our children have already fallen behind in their education when compared to the great minds of the past and of other nations. How about focusing on ways to make sure everyone in the school is focusing on real education and leave all the extra stuff outside the doors of learning? Leave the toys outside, leave the social shaping outside, focus on the science, focus on the math, focus on the things that are in common - not the divisive issues of society. we have fallen a great way from what our education system was first designed to accomplish. Let’s use taxpayer’s money responsibly. I am deeply opposed to this bill as I feel it goes against everything education should be concerned with.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I had very little guidance or support for exploring my identities within the LGBTQ+ community when I was a high school student. Having explicit policies that acknowledged the existence of nonbinary and transgender identities and provide guidance on how to address the specific needs of nonbinary and transgender students would have meant the world to me and several of my peers at that age. By providing guidance to teachers and staff, it will be easier to create an inclusive environment consistently for all students in all schools, rather than having to hope for and rely upon the select few teachers who have personal connections or are exceptionally forward-thinking to take on the extra work of advocating for their transgender and nonbinary students. GLSEN's 2019 National School Climate Survey shows that transgender and nonbinary students feel less safe at school and miss school more often because of feeling unsafe compared to their cisgender peers. Transgender and nonbinary students also report higher rates of victimization and discrimination than their peers, especially regarding respect for their names and pronouns and access to bathrooms and locker rooms. Transgender and nonbinary students should feel safe and included in their learning communities. No one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against in their school, which is a place where they are supposed to be able to learn and be a part of a community that accepts them for who they are. Schools teach students how to succeed but they also teach students how to treat each other. This proposed rule will make Virginia schools a better place to learn for transgender and nonbinary students, which creates a better learning environment for all. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students. Sincerely, Jaeger Spratt\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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

I have several concerns. First, the research around transgender issues is thin and does not support measures these strict. We actually have very little idea about the effects of gender identification over a person's lifespan and precious little idea about the influences of institutional participation on these issues. There has simply not been enough time to sufficiently study the longitudinal effects and concerns and there is just no way that these measures are grounded in solid research. Second, I worry about the disproportionate nature of this response. While I have sympathy for students who might struggle with these issues in our school system, there are not enough of them to change the rules for every other student, teacher, and administrator. The many bear the weight for only a few and we should think very, very carefully before we encode that in our laws and regulations. Third, I take great exception to the idea that we need to change the English language to reflect the perceived reality of only a handful of people. We teach our children that words mean things and to move away from that for notions not founded in research and data bears a potential consequence I don't think we've adequately considered. For the few students with legitimate concerns here, surely our superintendents and principals can be trusted to handle as they see fit without potentially demonizing and criminalizing other students and teachers simply trying to achieve their educational mission.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is incredibly important to me as a School Counselor in the public school setting and as a queer, non-binary adult. I have worked with countless middle school students who feel unsupported and hopeless because of the way adults and students alike have responded to their gender identity. They pay attention to our actions and policies like this are absolutely critical and frankly, will save lives. GLSEN's 2019 National School Climate Survey shows that transgender and nonbinary students feel less safe at school and miss school more often because of feeling unsafe compared to their cisgender peers. Transgender and nonbinary students also report higher rates of victimization and discrimination than their peers, especially regarding respect for their names and pronouns and access to bathrooms and locker rooms. Transgender and nonbinary students should feel safe and included in their learning communities. No one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or discriminated against in their school, which is a place where they are supposed to be able to learn and be a part of a community that accepts them for who they are. Schools teach students how to succeed but they also teach students how to treat each other. This proposed rule will make Virginia schools a better place to learn for transgender and nonbinary students, which creates a better learning environment for all. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming schools for all Virginia students. Sincerely, Lindsay Grohowski\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While I have great compassion for all that kids are going through, I don't believe the State has authority over parents rights. The fact that teachers/counselors could keep info regarding a child from parents is unconscionable. The sharing of restrooms/locker rooms is also a huge safety issue, both physically & psychologically. The focus of public education needs to be on \"reading, writing, arithmetic\". There are serious civil & religious liberty lines threatening to be crossed with these policies. Please leave America's children's identity values within the families who care for them the most.

Schools should have the responsibility to teach truth and not to play politics. Gender confusion is simply another avenue in which those responsible are seeking to lie to people. The truth is, there are two sexes - there was never a multitude of sexes until the recent years when society decided to lie to people. The truth is, that upon birth, any medical physician worth his salt says that the child is either a male or female. The physician does not place \"unknown\" in the blank - unless of course that has become the new hospital policy in which lying again is being proclaimed! This policy is extremely dangerous from several vantage points. First, is the outright lying that is taking place to tell a child we don't know what they are! Stop the lying! They were designed by their Maker as either a male of female. scripture designates male and female - and not a bunch of \"other.\" Second, is the safety factor of the school. Boys and girls deserve to have the decency and safety of using the restrooms and locker rooms in privacy. Third, why on earth would we desire to promote something that is creating significant problems for teenagers today? Adding this only fosters the growing suicide issues facing teens! Stop the lying!!! Fourth, why would the adults in the public system desire to lie to parents by stating one thing to their children when they are at school one version and then lying, again, when the parent is present. This is absolutely disgusting and I vehemently oppose the policy!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

A teacher cannot be expected to know which pronouns to use when students could change their sexual preferences, perhaps on a daily basis. There should be verifiable and substantial evidence that a sex change has taken place. Parents should be included in all counseling sessions with students regarding their gender identity and any other family life issues in the areas of health or sexuality. Parents should be made aware, and indeed have a right to know, if a biological male is using a bathroom or locker room designated for girls. Gender neutral dress code standards will cause chaos. How do these changes in public policy advance or improve the building of strong, traditional families which have been proven to result in a stable structure to ensure a healthy society? Every major and credible study shows that a traditional family structure equals overall positive outcomes.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The government is over stepping its bounds and assuming responsibility over minors that is reserved for parents, who themselves should teach principles and indoctrinate their children, and hopefully in ways that are in accordance with God’s Word. This proposal is a war on the U.S Constitution and Bill Of Rights, but ultimately on the Lord Jesus Christ, who is God over all. His Word and incarnation provide us with the philosophical basis needed for a coherent understanding of human rights, sexual identity, law, etc. What philosophical basis does a secular state have for such fundamental categories? A secular state has none. We need God fearing people in office who will legislate and utilize State and Federal constitutional and governing frameworks to the glory of God, not to commit high treason against Him the way this policy does.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The statistics listed in the policy document demonstrate the harm that discrimination against transgender youth causes: \"A 2019 national survey by GLSEN found that 84 percent of transgender youth feel unsafe at school, and those who experience victimization have significantly lower GPAs, are more likely to miss school out of concern for their safety, and are less likely to plan on continuing their education (Kosciw, Clark, Truong, & Zongrone, 2020). Compared to their cisgender and heterosexual peers, LGBTQ+ youth report much higher rates of depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug use, and lower self-esteem. LGBTQ+ youth of color may experience additional stress and adverse effects as a result of their intersecting identities, facing both bias against their gender identity or expression as well as racism\" (pg. 9). \"Furthermore, a recent study found that socially transitioned transgender children who are supported in their gender identity have no elevations in depression and only minimal elevations in anxiety relative to population averages (Olson, Durwood, DeMeules, & McLaughlin, 2016)\"(pg. 9).\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Gender itself is a social construct and gender stereotypes should not be encouraged. We should strive for a world where no one is considered \"gender non-conforming\" because everybody can wear any kind of clothing or participate in any activity and not have it be considered masculine or feminine. The very concept of gender is antiquated and should be abolished. Sex is not assigned at birth; it is observed. Sex is a biological state of being. Spaces where children will be in a state of undress should be divided by SEX, not gender, with individual facilities for those students whose biological sex does not comport with their inner feelings of gender. No student should be forced to use a restroom or changing space where they feel uncomfortable or unsafe, and that means that not only will transgender students need a safe and neutral space, but students who are not transgender but who do not wish to be in a state of undress with persons of the opposite biological sex must also be accommodated and provided with restrooms and changing rooms where they feel safe and comfortable. To the fullest extent possible, Virginia schools should provide private, single changing spaces, showers, and toilet facilities for any student who wishes. One need not be transgender to feel uncomfortable being undressed in front of others. Many teens are uncomfortable with their bodies for various reasons. Others may have cultural or religious prohibitions against being in a state of undress with others, even of the same sex. Private spaces are the only answer, no matter how costly.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Schools should have the responsibility to teach truth and not to play politics. Gender confusion is simply another avenue in which those responsible are seeking to lie to people. The truth is, there are two sexes - there was never a multitude of sexes until the recent years when society decided to lie to people. The truth is, that upon birth, any medical physician worth his salt says that the child is either a male or female. The physician does not place \"unknown\" in the blank - unless of course that has become the new hospital policy in which lying again is being proclaimed! This policy is extremely dangerous from several vantage points. First, is the outright lying that is taking place to tell a child we don't know what they are! Stop the lying! They were designed by their Maker as either a male of female. Scripture designates male and female - and not a bunch of \"other.\" Second, is the safety factor of the school. Boys and girls deserve to have the decency and safety of using the restrooms and locker rooms in privacy. Third, why on earth would we desire to promote something that is creating significant problems for teenagers today? Adding this only fosters the growing suicide issues facing teens! Stop the lying!!! Fourth, why would the adults in the public system desire to lie to parents by stating one thing to their children when they are at school one version and then lying, again, when the parent is present. This is absolutely disgusting and I vehemently oppose the policy!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

If there is a legitimate concern of abuse or neglect, it needs to be investigated, but this proposal ignores the parents rights for moral and religious guidance. This proposal allows the opportunity for a student to take advantage of a perverted desire to use bathroom or dressing room facilities of the opposite biological sex. The policy also prevents anyone from questioning the student's motives and doesn't allow parents to be notified that their child or children are subjected to this potentially perverted activity. ********An interesting point is the policy doesn't address the potential liability if my child is raped or sexually abused as a result of this policy !!! The VDOE would be acting wisely to scrap this proposed policy. Sincerely, Stephen Vinson\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The proposed guidelines are dangerous to children and school staff, they undermine parental rights and disregard the God-given rights of U.S. citizens. We cannot allow radical liberals in the legislature and executive branch to transform Virginia into a state in which parents can no longer parent their children, and children are being manipulated into disavowing their parents’ teachings and values –and even being commissioned to report parents who don’t fully embrace the new orthodoxies. Enough is enough. Stop this nonsense, please.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

For a state that purports to “go by the science,” transgenderism emphatically denies biological science. This proposed policy is seeking the approval of a small minority of confused folks that need psychological and spiritual help. Instead of providing real help to these troubled few, our state seeks to impose its will upon the many. History will inevitably find that promoting transgender/gender identity policies, which contradict societal norms, will prove to have been destructive and harmful. The health and welfare of our children will suffer irreparable damage from the illogical, unfounded reasoning being proposed. It is shameful that the state of VA has stooped so low that it would consider endangering the lives of the young while also trampling upon the right of parents.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is not wise to allow children authority over parents and school staff as in the draft model policies for the treatment of \"transgender\" students. Students tend to be driven by the present which obviously changes moment by moment. It would be difficult for school staff to determine a child's chosen gender from one day to the next, opening opportunities for excellent educators and staff to be fired for a slip of the tongue, even if unintended. It may be difficult to even determine a child's chosen gender by looks alone especially since schools would not require evidence of chosen gender. Teachers have enough red tape to cut through each day. They need to be allowed to do that which they were called to do- teach, without ideological worries. Gender conversations are best held at home with parents who, at the beginning of the pandemic, when schools shut their doors, were called by Pam Northam the best teachers of their children! If that is so, and I wholeheartedly agree with, parents must be the ones not only having gender conversations with their own children but also MUST be made aware of ANY issue their students are having that school staff is aware of so that parents may teach accordingly. It is a parent's right to educate their child as they see fit. To charge a parent with child abuse or neglect for teaching their children according to their own principles and consciences is a violation of their constitutional freedom. It is also a violation of constitutional religious freedom for those parents, students, teachers, and staff that have deeply held religious beliefs that biological males and biological females are just that and none else. Parents also have the right to know, whether they choose to do anything about it or not, if their children are being subjected to using the same bathrooms and changing facilities that are designated for the opposite biological sex. And to also be intentionally made aware if there are no longer designations for biological sex, but shared by both biological sexes. These things may lead to unwanted touching and/or ogling. Virginia public educated students must be given the right to focus on learning math, language, science, history, arts, and sports. Education concerning special interest groups or specific ideologies can be had in the home, homeschool, or private school setting, which is what has been happening for years. It would be extremely distracting as biological males and females arrive to their classes dressed in clothing designed for the opposite sex. As far as school activities like P.E., think of the distraction that biological boys dressed in skirts and earrings to gym and wrestling matches would cause because they feel like or believe they are girls. The distraction of biological girls appearing topless to swim meets because they feel like or believe they are boys is just as bad. This is completely inappropriate and insanity!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

First, our schools are a place where all students are to feel safe and welcome, providing them a healthful place to learn and grow into citizens that are able to contribute to society. This policy would facilitate and encourage the practice of lying and misinformation within the family unit - the unit we as a society work so hard to maintain! By withholding extremely important information about students from the people who love them most, it builds distrust and fosters the practice of lying. It actively prohibits parents from having open communication with their children, breaking down relationships and trust. Additionally, it requires faculty to be intentionally dishonest with parents, undermining the vital parent-teacher relationship and imbuing it with distrust. (Per “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) And also, “School staff should be prepared to support the safety and welfare of transgender students when their families are not affirming. (Recommended Standard, p. 13)) Second, this policy would undermine the safety and health of students by opening vulnerable places - like locker rooms and bathrooms - up to students and staff of the opposite sex with no limitation. Since the current definition of gender identity as outlined in this standard is completely subjective, both students and faculty could change their gender identity to exploit vulnerable situations, without substantiating evidence or minimum duration, according to the Recommended Standard. Our society has fought valiantly for years to establish women's rights, prevent rape and molestation, and foster protections for the vulnerable, all with the goal of providing a safe and conducive learning environment in public schools. The Recommended Standard prioritizes transgender rights, superseding the rights and protections for cisgendered individuals and their family units. It undermines the family unit by fostering a dishonest school-home environment, encouraging students to be dishonest with parental figures, and requiring faculty to lie to parents when discussing the student. Ongoing evidence of gender selection is not required, according to the Recommended Standard, opening doors to opportunities for abuse, molestation and impropriety for all students and prohibiting faculty from providing protection to those in harm's way. The Recommended Standard prohibits a safe and conducive learning/educational environment for all students and faculty. I urge you to revise these standards to provide protections for both trans and cis gendered students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These are the people who have made these sexual behaviors \"cool\" to the youth. I saw only 1 parent in the list of individuals who were consulted in developing the document. This type of overgovernment is one of the big reasons that private schools and home schooling have become so desired. Most of the young who are now exposing these behaviors would not have them or think they have them had so-called progressives not told them that if they have one inkling of these feelings then that is really what they are. It is so sad. Many of the people who helped to develop this document stand to gain consulting work if it is approved. Bad!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Through its blanket endorsement of views like these, the VDOE has gone far beyond the path the General Assembly prescribed. The model regulations infringe the First Amendment rights of parents to raise and care for their children.

That is extremely unprofessional and unscientific. Moreover the proposal is outrageous that any student being seen to have questions about sexuality will be considered someone to protect from their own parents. Your proposal to mandate such policy state wide is an overreach of any semblance of your place to teach Virginia students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Society and government have demonstrated this on controls down to things as common as driving, voting, alcohol, viewing adult media, tattooing, or piercing, etc... Yet we debate forcing society and government bureaucracies to attend to the whims of a child who may “feel” they are not the sex they were born with. It is utterly illogical and absurd. How to treat this child? We can ask - do you allow degrees of bullying based on other criteria? Why would you allow mistreatment of any child then? Very simply, you hold them to the same standards as any other child, including their biological sex. They can “choose” their sex when they are adults. Also, for your teacher’s own future legal liability and safety, why would you want to create any complex system, of unworkable and completely impracticable rules beyond this?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

That is a line that teachers shouldn't cross. We encourage our children to be honest and come forward if any adult takes advantage of them. You are now trying to encourage children to keep secrets with these other adults. These philosophies also go against our lifestyle views.

Gender confusion is a new hot topic issue that is attracting attention and trying to gain popularity when a very small few actually identify this way. I do think the kids that identify this way should be protected and shouldn't have to suffer from bullying or presucution.

It is acceptable to communicate to public employees that they not discriminate on the basis of sex or gender, since discrimination is wrong. However, LGBT is a topic for families to discuss within the family, and what we’ve seen in recent years is advocacy for immorality by left-leaning educators. This has undermined families and influenced youths to choose the immoral path out of peer pressure and teachers influence. The topic needs to be avoided by public employees just as much as religious viewpoints and political viewpoints. Regrettably, the left-leaning individuals have no compunction about restricting their advocacy because they’re protected by Democratic Party advocates. This is unequal treatment under the law.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

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

This is based on what I have read, all of which deny God's creation of male and female. It also denies known science. This is a blatant attack by the LGBTQ community, not only to have their behavior tolerated, but accepted and promoted on the most innocent of our country, our children. Their plan is obviously to confuse children about which sex they really are, when normally, they would never question it. They know whether they are male or female by birth! They don't need to be confused about it by those who seek to change society to their liking. Besides this, parent's rights are being totally denied, and teachers are unable to follow their conscience while pinned to these new classroom and school guidelines. I am truly shocked and horrified. I was a public school teacher and I cannot imagine being forced into this mold being mandated upon me to call a boy by a girl's name or a girl by a boy's name just because the child \"declared\" that they felt like a sex not biologically theirs. There is also the problem of the use of the opposite sex's bathrooms, shower rooms and changing rooms. Although there would be no threat to a boy entering a girl's restroom, the girls would definitely feel threatened! We must stop these atrocious guidelines from going into effect. This is ungodly and abhorrent!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We also agree that we teach them at developmentally appropriate paces. Before we teach children the exceptions to the rule, we first set them up with the foundational truths. If our educational establishments can't even recognize or respect the biological differences between the majority of males and females, and want to create policies that force all of to live in the margins of the fringe sexual anomalies, then I guess we are simply left to question the public education system's capabilities to educate our children properly. If tolerance and acceptance is the aim, then work in the arena of anti-bullying policies and allow the parents to work alongside you in these endeavors, not exclude us, even to the point of deception.

These children need to be protected and kept safe. Self-expression and gaining an understanding of oneself as a person can become hindered if bullying and harassment are present. Trans students are more likely to be harassed, bullied, and even harmed physically by their peers just for being who they are. This lack of support has been proven to cause lasting emotional harm and increase the likelihood of suicide. There is scientific evidence that proves that children know what gender they are as early as three years old. For those who don't understand gender, and think in some way that this is an agenda, I say to you: WHO WOULD ASK FOR THIS? It's dangerous. It's painful, both physically and emotionally. If anyone had a choice about who they are, they would not choose to be different. This is not a choice. This not a lifestyle. This is not an agenda. Support trans children. Be kind. Be gentle. Love one another. I think you may know of a book that tells you the same.

These policies would infringe the First Amendment Rights of parents to raise and care for their children and they would potentially pit children against their parents on important issues regarding sex and gender identity. Also, no one, child nor adult, should be forced to share showers, locker rooms, or other intimate settings with members of the opposite biological sex. Many children, and adults, would feel uncomfortable and even threatened, when they encounter a member of the opposite sex in gendered facilities. Schools should NOT accommodate the harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to encourage \"gender transitions\", especially irreversible ones.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We must do all we can to help these students so they can grow up feeling safe and accepted. We also must foster acceptance of transgender and non-conforming students in schools and society as a whole. It makes me very sad to read the comments of some people.

As your constituent, I'm asking you to protest against this policy, to do everything in your power to oppose to this which seeks to force the state's public school students to positively affirm those suffering from the disorder of gender dysphoria. 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. Thank you for taking action to do everything in your power to protest against this appalling draft guidance.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents trust that when their child is sent to public school the child will be treated with compassion and respect. They also expect that their child will learn objective truth that is in accordance with reality and scientific principles. If a child is confused, it is expected that the educator reorients the child to truth and does not allow the child to persist in his/her misconception. It would be inappropriate for a teacher to allow a child to insist that 2+2=5 even if the child sincerely believes it, or that the moon is made of cheese, even it the child insists that they have seen it in a movie or read it in a book. A responsible teacher will gently and compassionately point out the facts and teach the child what is known to be true. All scientific data points to the objective truth that there are only 2 sexes, male and female and that our sex is determined by our DNA from the moment of conception. It is not uncommon for a child to experience same sex attraction at some points in his/her development. It is MOST appropriate that if a child is struggling with this, the PARENT work with the child through this confusing phase of development and the teacher move into a position of supporting the parent's efforts to orient the child to objective truth. The school system should be in the business of intellectual formation as that is what it is trained to do. Getting involved in social engineering is an abuse of power and an over reach by the teacher and the DOE. Encouraging a child to believe a lie to be true has nothing to do with compassion.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The more it gets catered to, the bigger and more complicated it grows. Has anyone seen the pattern? If someone has gender identity issues, that is their cross to carry, just as every individual has difficult issues in their own lives. If someone has an illness, should we all contract that illness? If someone is in a wheel chair, should we all get in wheel chairs? Adversity is a challenge and needs to be dealt with by the individual. Often times adversity creates strength and fortitude. These are good characteristics. Life is not meant to be easy. In the long run, many more children will become confused about their identity with all of this jargon being put in place. Who is supposed to know what gender someone \"feels like\" on any given day or moment to address them the way they won't find \"harassing\". Just because someone says something was received as harassing does not mean it was delivered as harassment. Now we have to judge the intent of everyone's comments and how they got translated? Who will be that judge and jury? Before instilling more rules, think about the trickle down effect of more problems it will create. Let's stop the nonsense before it goes any further and get back to common sense. Vehemently oppose!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My daughter only heard a little piece of this and is already concerned about going back to school and a boy being allowed in the girls bathroom because he \"identifies\" as a girl. No. This undermines parents and scares our children, and is a way the government is trying to get us to conform to their idea of us having to tolerate everything without any sense of morals. I don't believe in that. Also have we considered the possibility of rape in older age groups, a rise in unwanted teen pregnancies, and this is some way nurturing some weird perversion in some individuals?

Then you violate parental rights to oversee the development of their children which is a God given right. Then you violate the privacy rights of children by forcing biological males into biological girl's bathroom's and shower rooms and vice versa. I am/was very modest and this would traumatize me and I have heard from parent's dealing with this situation and it has traumatized their children as well. And it is also an unsafe policy. Then you are violating the conscience of teachers/staff, etc. where this goes against their beliefs. And then you are ruining female sports as females are trying to compete with biological boys in the name of transgenderism. I feel sorry for people who are confused and choose to be transgender. I have read how they end up having health issues from the chemicals and end up being unhappy because the radical changes done to their body did not solve the problem they were trying to address. Many die early from health issues or suicide. Very sad. I would gladly respect transgenders in my presence and show them love. But these policies hurt the overall school body. Quit trying to indoctrinate children to explore their gender. In my school days, we didn't have indoctrination and we didn't have this issue. It is wrong.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Of course children shouldn’t be bullied by other children or, worse, their peers parents who seem to have overtaken this forum. However, there are legitimate concerns (that even the Olympic Committee has not been able to resolve) on transgender athletes. As more research is done, it is being realized that those born of the male sex, even after taking testosterone blockers, still maintain a significant athletic advantage based on their bone size and density, hearts ability to pump more blood, larger capillaries, etc. that testosterone blockers don’t change. This not only opens the door to unsafe sports for cis females playing in what should be clearly stated as sex protected divisions (not gender identity divisions) it also takes away from the chances of someone of the female sex from getting fair scholarships. However, when a female takes testosterone (ie steroids) those are performance enhancing drugs. Since this is such a big issue to make it to this level of interest- I recommend creating new divisions of sports specific to transgender athletes. Otherwise, good for VA for looking out for these children for bullying aspects. Though I would never encourage my child to pursue transgender curiosity, I am not the parent of other children and at the end of the day the schools can’t force children or their parents to block transitions but it can also take an equal stance in protecting children who do not identify as transgender as it does the children who do.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This will only cause more confusion and problems for all students, parents, and school staff. Teachers have a hard enough job already, and with these changes. They would have to walk on egg shells to deal with this issue, with potential to lose their jobs if they say the wrong pronoun. Parents have the right to know what is going on with their children at school. These highly sensitive issues should be discussed at home, not at school, or be kept secret in any manner! Implementing these new policies will only lead to more parents choosing to take their children out of public school. Kids do not need to be brainwashed thinking this is cool or normal at school. It also poses a dangerous threat to children when sharing bathrooms with someone of the opposite biological sex, who could be using this as a ploy to cause harm to others (and wouldn't even be questioned for it!). Thank you for this opportunity to share my thoughts, and please take all sides of this in consideration.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is also why they are subject to juvenile court systems and why attendance at school is mandatory. Many aspects of the law rightly recognize the need to guide and protect young children as they mature. While this guidance document pretends to further that cause, the truth is quite the opposite - and tragic. This guidance document is partly a response to Virginia choosing to no longer vigorously defend itself in the courts against unfavorable rulings stemming from enforcement of its prior, sensible policy. Prior, sensible policy recognized the importance of creating a safe learning environment for ALL students, which requires moderating the excessive behavior of some students when they become potentially harmful towards others. A very small but very vocal minority of students, outside activists, and policy makers have banded together to try to normalize the aberrant and often self-destructive behaviors associated with gender dysphoria in young children. Worse yet, they seek to affirm these aberrant behaviors by forcing others to play along and call children by preferred pronouns, made up names, etc. This is nonsensical and encourages other youths who are merely attention seeking to mimic such behaviors because of the attention and control it grants them. Worse yet, it creates opportunities for sexually curious or sexually predatory children to parade into the bathrooms, locker rooms, and sleepovers of opposite gendered children and victimize them. What about the rights of the majority of children to privacy and security? And where will this end? Will male faculty be able to identify as female on a whim and parade into the girls' locker rooms as well? If not, why not? Where is the logical end to this? None of this is even the worst part of this guidance document though. The worst part is that it champions a duplicitous approach of deceiving parents who are opposed to this nonsense by referring to their children according to their legal name and gender when communicating with the parents about their children, while duplicitously indulging young gender dysphoric or merely attention-seeking children behind their parents' backs in the school setting. Driving a wedge between parents and their children has become the job of Virginia public schools? Abrogating their responsibility to create a safe learning environment by protecting young children from sexualization and sexual predation has become the job of Virginia public schools? Encouraging and indulging sexual dysphoria in young children has become the job of Virginia public schools? Ask yourselves - why have we maintained these gender distinctions over the centuries? Is all that is past bad? Is all that is past harmful and malevolent? Or could some parts of culture and custom perhaps be beneficial? Could they even represent tacit wisdom that should only be very cautiously discarded and replaced after careful consideration and consensus-building? Has it occurred to you that gender distinctions may be more beneficial than harmful? Has it occurred to you that parents who love their children might care more for their long-term health and development than you do about this politically charged issue of the day? Has it occurred to you that this naked affront to the guardianship of parents over their children will instead further drive a wedge between parents and the public school system? What are you really trying to accomplish here? What alternatives have you considered? Is there a better solution that does less harm?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The Commonwealth of Virginia is a Cross Cultural Commonwealth and not all cultures are receptive to boiler plate type approaches. Resources should be made available and the option to partake in LGBTQ inclusive curricula is more appropriate given our sociocultural make up in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The draft policy should strengthen the anti-harassment and anti-bullying policies. Strong and deterring policies and actions will ensure a safe and healthy environment for all students, especially those struggling with transgender challenges in today’s society.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These guidelines mark a path for Virginia schools to become more inclusive and equitable. These guidelines provide protections that allow Virginian students to share their true selves with their friends, classmates and community. As a gay man who grew up in the state of Virginia and graduated from a public high school (Blacksburg High, class of '04) I wish these guidelines had been in effect while I was a student. I was in the closet in high school because I was afraid of how my classmates and teachers would treat me if I came out. My life would have followed an entirely different path if I had felt safe enough to come out publicly as a teenager. I look at the state that I grew up in and live in today and I am so glad to see the steps that Virginia has taken to protect its LGBTQ+ citizens. Virginia is a true leader to the states in our region, and we will continue to be one by enacting these guidelines. My deepest thanks go to those who took part in crafting these guidelines.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Those are matters best handled by parents directly with their own children - only! The only role a teacher can assume in this regard would be to prevent abuse or mistreatment of a child with \"different\" concepts than the onvious two options. Such should not be assumed to be necessary until a problem surfaces. In that case only the protagonist students should be counseled. This need not and should not be construed as an opportunity to propagandize students that are not already involved in a controversy directly related to the very minimally applicable gender question. Focus on teaching life skills applicable to all students. Those with gender issues can be given counselling without imposing controversial values on all the students. Wm Coy.

In addition I coach a boys travel soccer team. This year I was introduced to a player on our team who identifies as \"gender fluid.\" This player has long hair, wears jerseys of women players and has a pink uniform. Once I saw this I had 2 concerns: 1) how was I supposed to treat this player? 2) how were 10 other young boys going to treat them? Kids at that age can be cruel. My concern regarding my 1st question was because I wanted to respect them and not try and put a particular label on them. Our society is so ready to do so on everyone. When you do that you force a child into a box of conformity that may not be right for them. You basically stunt there social and mental growth by asking them to fit into our norms. We have a huge issue with mental health in his country partly because of our desire to label and make people conform. Not allowing children to be who they are contributes to that. My 2nd question was answered very quickly. This player earned the respect of the others in how they played and how the practiced. As well they are just a great kid; always polite, always listening and laughing with the other friends/teammate's. What is so amazing and special to me is that the other kids on the team fully accept and respect them. If 10 year old boys can find normalcy in this setting don't you think we as adults should too!

It usurps parental rights to have knowledge of a situation at school that may impact their child, whether they are a parent of a transgender student or the parent of another student in the locker room. And there is so much in the policy that contradicts itself. For example, a teacher must use preferred pronouns but they must also treat transgender information as medical and confidential. So, this puts our teachers in a no-win situation and subject to legal action, regardless of which policy they try to honor. Further, it infringes on a teacher's right to follow their own religious beliefs and ideology. It is scary to think that pronouns are now so dangerous that they would be classified as forms of harassment or discrimination, which sets a dangerous legal precedent for any citizen. I am most concerned that a school is not required to notify parents of a student's wish to pursue a different gender identity. Students hide enough information from parents through the use of social media, texting, etc. Schools are clearly overstepping their bounds and responsibilities by taking on the role of helping a child explore their sexuality. Parents should be allowed to have those conversations at home, hopefully as a partner in the process. Most of all, I worry about the responsibilities we are now placing on teachers. They have already taken on so much of a parenting role -- where do we draw the line in deciding all that a teacher is responsible for versus all that a parent is responsible for? As a parent, I don't want the school to raise my child the way I believe they should be raised -- and how we discuss sexual identity at home should not be classified as a form of child abuse or neglect. Again, the fact that words are now considered abuse or neglect is a scary legal precedent. I am empathetic and compassionate that sexual identity is not easy to navigate for every child or parent. However, this policy does nothing to reinforce or strengthen the partnership that should be had between a school and a parent in that process. I am worried more than ever about the government overreach and pushing of one ideology over another, into the average citizen's home life.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is a travesty the Democrat party would purposely brainwash young children to accept their agenda when the children don't have the cognitive ability to discern the policies they are being required to obey. Often the parents are not aware of what the children are being exposed to and required to obey. In a masked effort to protect a few children, the majority of children are being exposed and harmed to concepts that could radically change their mindsets. Democrats like to call moral issues, \"science\" so that they have justification for their agenda. There are plenty of stories of the negative impact of families that thought they were doing the right thing by supporting their children with transgender issues. Later as adults these people share their traumatic stories of how their lives have been damaged by irreversible surgeries. The public school systems are not opening up the doors to educate elementary school children in ways that could bring unnecessary confusion and choices that could negatively impact their lives. Please do not use this public comment merely as a check-off to fulfill what the Virginia Code requires, but still not listen to the concerns of Virginians that don't share the Board membership's world view. If the politicians and their political appointees don't start listening and responding to contrary views to develop more win-win solutions which foster mutual respect and honor, there will continue to be great divides that will increase the risk of civil discord. At this point the public is at a severe stress point because of the unrest that has occurred in 2020. People fear for their futures and the futures of their children. Stop being a part of the problem and start being a part of the solution. In this particular situation, you have the authority to create a guidance document and policies that could be respectful to all, not just a few.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

At least half of middle schoolers cannot read properly. Instead of indoctrinating and confusing children with progressive ideologies, while shutting parents out of the picture, the school system should invest its energy into making sure kids have at least a basic understanding of math and language, know proper US/world history, and have a clue about locating countries and capitals on the map! We are paying the school system to do a simple job. We are not paying for them to brainwash kids and hide information from parents. Adults understand to some extent consequences of their actions, children just want to be trendy and more often than not fail to think of long term effects of their choices...Till they become adults, children should be under the guidance of their parents, and the school system has no business pushing political agendas, hiding information from parents, and breaking up the family unit. ...Responsible teachers would work together with parents no matter what issues would come up, not lie to parents about their children...Would love to know how on earth will the schools maintain safety if biologically different kids are allowed to enter either bathroom depending on how they feel that day...and how will everyone keep up with using demanded pronouns based on what the kids might think they are at the moment...btw- one can think whatever of themselves, it is their right, their choice...but others should not be forced to pretend with them...there is a reason we have two biological genders and the more you are pushing for them to be erased, the faster you destroy this nation...but I’m sure you all know that already, just refuse to acknowledge it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It teaches children that first, their natural bodies or natural brains are \"wrong\" based off nothing but feelings. It reinforces that idea to the point that if a child \"transitions,\" even just socially, and still struggles with dysphoria, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, it's still not because their \"gender identity\" wasn't really the problem, but it was REALLY that their family, their society, or now, their school didn't \"affirm them enough.\" It keeps many, therefore, from receiving the help they actually need. It's also dangerous for people, children especially, who are \"gender conforming.\" Children are too young to know the complexities of gender, and to explain what \"transgender\" is is impossible without reinforcing gender stereotypes. Tomboys are left to question whether they're \"really a girl at all, or are they trans?\" Effeminate boys are no longer allowed to like \"girly things\" without wondering if their \"assigned sex\" is wrong. It sets up further confusion for all children, especially since this guidance sets a DANGEROUS and terrifying precedent on the role of parents, or the proposed lack of a role if they don't \"affirm\" the child's gender identity, if they are even privy to it, as the school doesn't have to tell them. On a personal level, I have worked with far too many traumatized and abused children to tell them that their fears, triggers, simple discomfort, and downright panic at the sight of an opposite-sexed person anywhere near their safe space shouldn't matter so the \"feelings\" of that person could be maintained. Once you've seen the terror in a young girl's eyes when they think a male PASSING the restroom might come into it, \"reaffirming\" a dangerous and unhealthy lifestyle becomes a lower priority than reassuring her she's safe because adults can tell males to stay away from that restroom. This guidance seems to remove that ability at the mere utterance (no physical transition is necessary) of a word by what could be a very innocuous but still very male boy. It leaves those timid or traumatized children no escape or reassurance unless they openly request an alternative accomodation, which they are often too shy or scared or pressured to do. I STRONGLY oppose this guidance, and ask research be done on alternatives to help maintain the safety and peace of mind for ALL students, gender non-conforming and conforming alike.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

A child does not have the maturity or knowledge to make a decision like that, to permanently mutilate their body. And allowing them access to bathrooms and locker rooms without any question is a blatant assault on the right to privacy of other children. If this is the attitude of those in charge of public education, then its time for all responsible parents to remove their children from the public school system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

First, these policies usurp parental authority for making decisions regarding their own children - it is a responsibility and STEWARDSHIP that belongs to them alone and should not be infringed. Second, science claims that human beings, during the developmental stages of life, experience gender dysphoria. No one can pretend to know better than science or God what the truth of the matter is and because this is a controversial subject, it should be left alone. Private citizens are free to draw their own conclusions. Third, these policies create inequality. Government does not get to determine whose belief system is right and whose is wrong, to do so would destroy freedom of conscience and freedom of religion afforded to every individual by the Constitution. For government to assume such a role would cause reverse discrimination against a whole segment of society. The purpose of law is not to protect the \"feelings\" of certain people, it is to ensure that every person has an equal opportunity to learn, grow, and build character from the opposition and adversity they encounter in everyday life. It is the only way to gain experience, learn self-control and integrate into society in healthy ways. Promote those policies that tolerate the beliefs of all and gives special privileges to none.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Being inclusive should not disclude the majority. I can fully support anti-bullying and accomodating the few, but subjecting a larger group is a poor and lazy excuse for efficiency. We would better spend our efforts teaching ALL children to respect the choices of ALL others without forcing them to be placed in uncomfortable situations themselves. To do otherwise is tyranny. Also, children are under the care of parents/guardians precisely because they lack maturity to make major life decisions. Schools/government have no place interfering in the family hierarchy, never mind overriding parental authority. Children should be allowed to make their own choices on these matters when they have reached adulthood- legally, emotionally, physically, etc. Until then, the only job of teachers and staff is to educate and support education. Let the family do its job in society of teaching morals and stop trying to force citizens into submission to the fickle will of the self-important, citizen-appointed, governmental so-called experts. The choice to not use preferred pronouns, etc. for a child is NOT \"abuse\". It is education. Education in respect for others, just as anyone wishes to be respected. Perhaps there would be more mutual respect in our communities if it went both ways. Demanding respect of one group demonstrates a lack of respect of that group. Children should respect teachers and staff. Teachers and staff should respect parents. Differences should be discussed and resolved on an individual basis, between individuals- not with a one size fits all mandate from the VDOE/Commonwealth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Even older students can be influenced to question their sexual idenity. If they do and their parents are not aware of it the teachers and staff will be required to help them to believe they are of the opposite sex. Since the school will not be able to tell the parents, they will be in the dark on this and not be able to help them with these doubts. It is the responsibility of the parents for the education of their children and they are not the property of the state or the LGBT movement. It is not right for the state to use the threat of children's services to stop the parents from helping their children who are confused, or taught to be confused on this most important decision. Students and adults who are gay have a very high depression and sucide rate, since this is not natural. Up until 1972 the American Psychological Association classified homosexuality as deviant behavior. But when the gays got control of it they did away with that determination.

I'm dreadfully sorry that .04% of our students (and their Parents/guardians/sperm donors) can't take a gander at what's in their underwear and not be confused and befuddled by what they discover there. It's lunancy beyond the pale to impose this nonsense on the other 99.96% who will have to deny their religious beliefs, have their sons' and daughters' privacy trampled on and have girls' sports upended by biological males competing and winning probably denying athletic scholarships to actual women. I thought the Demorat party was the party of\"follow the science\", so what happened? Did the science of anatomy suddenly become the alchemy of the 21st Century? How did gender dysphoria make the leap from the annals of psychiatric disorders to Goals for Bous and Girls? This, Governor Blackface, is nothing more than yet another page ripped from the Saul Alinsky's \"Rules for Radicals\" wherein it calls for the destruction of all of the underpinnings of western capitalist society in order for real revolution to take hold. The clowns behind this nonsense don't care about kids who, for whatever reason, can't figure out which john to use; they just want towhack away at norms and mores so that they get to impose their own.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents have historically been in the role of guiding their children with disagreements handled by the parents themselves. No one questions that children are immature, lack experience, and need guidance. Many laws are geared toward the general recognition that children, until the age of 18, fall under the authority of their parents. This policy erodes that and places educators in loco parentis to best determine the child’s interest. Parents are compelled to either side with their children, even when they believe the child is wrong, or face the threat of CPS investigations. This bill threatens government force to compel parents to conform with beliefs that are at best poorly understood and subject to social pressures. Transgenderism is a complicated issue; far too complicated for a blanket, across the board solution. The government is not well positioned to meet the needs of a complicated psychological issue, which typically require individual intervention. Furthermore, the lack of any test, such as psychologist/psychiatrist note certifying that the child in question actually suffers from gender dysmorphia, opens the door for the potential of abuse. While the intentions for this bill are likely noble with a sincere aim to be compassionate toward the needs of children during a vulnerable time, the heavy handed threat of CPS, the lack of any psychological evaluation, and the placement of educators as having more authority than parents in determining what is best for the parents' children makes for a poor policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Period!\nBody:\nI am constantly appalled and disgusted by the consistent pandering to the delusions of what amounts to a mental imbalance or disorder in so-called \"transgenders.\" There are only two genders - male and female. If you are born male, you will die male. If you are born female, you will die female. Anyone who believes there are more than two genders is mentally unbalanced and needs to seek psychiatric help. It is a non-debatable, unarguable, undeniable scientific and biological fact that a person CANNOT change their gender. Period! It is not possible, has never been done and it never will be done. Anyone who seriously believes that they can change their gender, particularly to a non-existent gender, is mentally unbalanced and needs to seek psychiatric help. Now, Virginia's so-called Dept. of Education has come up with a proposal to FORCE children to deny all science in this regard and pander to the delusions of the mentally ill and at the same time, deny parents their constitutional civil rights to inform, educate and instruct their own children according to facts, conscience and beliefs, all of which should - and do - override the mental delusions of a small self-proclaimed minority. This proposal is not only ridiculous and unconstitutional, but a dangerous assault against Virginia's children as well as their parents in attempting to force them to believe not only the impossible, but also the idiotic simply so a few mentally unbalanced kids don't get \"their feelings hurt\" and the dept. of education can play \"identity politics.\" Another failed political ideology. This is NOT part of the education that children are supposed to receive and that our tax dollars pay for, but is nothing more than a continuation of the indoctrination that is daily being forced upon innocent children! All self-respecting, morally decent people should adamantly oppose this idiocy and continue to fight for and demand a return to normalcy in our schools! Normal life is often hard enough and not getting the skills needed to cope with it, but instead a bunch of unscientific nonsense, just makes things harder, not better. No one has the right to force their self delusions on anyone else, nor expect that others should be compelled to acknowledge and respect such self delusions. This kind of pandering in no way helps those suffering from transgenderism. As has been demonstrated by numbers of these people who have attempted to change their gender - and failed - once they got psychiatric help from those trained and skilled in such mental disorders, they found that their lives were much happier and they were able to live a normal existence. If the Dept. of Education really wants to do something to help these unbalanced kids, then instead of coming up with such idiotic, unscientific proposals, wasting taxpayer money on different bathrooms, forcing kids to give up any semblance of personal, sexual privacy in bathrooms and locker rooms, cheating young girls out of winning in their own athletic competitions, but also having to learn and correctly use a bunch of ridiculous and unsustainable \"pronouns,\" (which, according to this proposal, can change, without factual proof, at the simple say so of a disturbed child) let the schools come up with lists of psychiatrists trained in these mental disorders and provide those kids with that list. THAT would help. The rest of this nonsense won't and will only serve to warp, confuse and antagonize normal kids and their parents, both of whom deserve MUCH better from their school system. A school system, I will add, that is supposed to be aiding their children, not taking away their parental rights by telling them that only the schools have the right to make important life decisions for their children, not the parents! This proposal and all others like it must be defeated and relegated to the trash heap of truly terrible, failed policy ideas, from whence it came! Virginia's Dept. of Education should restrict itself to improving the education of children - which is sorely needed - and not attempting to force on parents or their children repeatedly failed political ideologies, particularly those pandering to the mentally unbalanced.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

There is absolutely no cause for it. Why should the thousands of children with no LGBTQ+ inclinations be forced into shared bathrooms? Why couldn't one simply implement a smaller LGBTQ+ bathroom / locker room for those who wish to use it? Consider what would happen if there were a transgender student who identified as male: why would he then want to be shoved back into a joint bathroom or locker room where he feels like he is exposing himself before females? Or take a Lesbian youth: why should she wish to expose herself before other women? Not to mention that the vast majority of students are not LGBTQ+ and have no reason to desire that such a policy be implemented. Even considering a diversity of sexual orientations etc., the VAST majority still identify as being attracted to one of the two most common sexes. There is no reason to make the majority suffer for the few students who don't identify / aren't attracted to either of the two most common genders. In my opinion, there can be alternative arrangements made that take into account that very small percentage of the LGBTQ+ community that does not identify / isn't sexually oriented towards either of the two traditional sexes without sacrificing the privacy and rights of the rest of the student body. In implementing this policy, my only thought is that the legislators consider the entirety of the student body to have no interest in privacy or decency whatsoever. They are hoping for inclusion, but what they will get is orgy, rape, molestation, and serious trauma to those very persons they wish to protect, and to the rest of the students as well.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Please do not implement these policies. The unintended consequences, which are predictible, will far outweigh the good faith benefits. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It has been proven that suicide relates of trans youth drop dramatically if one-only one person shows them acceptance. This ranges from ensuring their chosen name is used on all documents and classes, the ability to comfortably go to the bathroom (urinary tract infection rates are exceedingly high for trans people who learn to just not go to the Beth room) and the ability to participate freely in sports (modeled after the IOC and NCAA on regulations based on hormone suppression-there has been no demonstrated advantage for trans athletes). Further educating all students is paramount to acceptance. With just a little bit of education on what being trans means-we won’t have to face nearly as much fear or discrimination, not just from policies, but from the very people our students call friends. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need any assistance ensuring these policies protecting our trans students is put into place. thank you for this. -JM\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Although I strongly support reducing bullying and loving and including everyone, this proposal has serious flaws. First, it over-extends protection to one small group at the exclusion of protection for other multiple groups. We cannot do harm to our basic inalienable rights in exchange for protecting one fraction of The People. Next, parents still bear the weight of responsibility for the health and welfare of their own children. This proposes intentionally LYING and/or SUBVERTING PARENTAL RIGHTS. This is undeniably and unequivocally not okay. The school's role is not to parent all the children. The administration's role is not to parent. The school board's role is not to parent. The government's role is not to parent. Period. And removing rights carte blanche from ALL parents because SOME fraction of parents do not lovingly support their own children is not only foolhardy it is illogical and harmful. Third, this places ALL of our children in incredibly vulnerable positions. Mixed sex locker rooms and bathrooms?! For teenagers no less?! I see no standard in the text of this proposal for applying any guidelines to allowing a student to use the PRIVATE areas of the opposite sex beyond \"they said that's how they identify.\" We have an obligation to PROTECT ALL students, including protection from ill intentioned students who will undoubtedly abuse this free-for-all. And do we really want our children undressing in front of the opposite sex? Regardless of how one individual \"identifies\" it does not change how those of the opposite sex identify sexually and respond to the naked body of the opposite sex.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This is especially true in respect to matters of religion and personal identity. These are sensitive matters which are deeply rooted in both Worldview (philosophy) and science. The modern guidance being pushed upon our children and grandchildren in this area of sexuality is contrary to the belief system of most Virginians and is in fact contrary to clinical science. To teach a child something that is fundamentally untrue, whether they like it or not, is incredibly damaging. It is time for our schools to get away from this nonsense and focus on the things that matter: reading, writing and math. It is incredible to me that we are declining in these areas while promoting sexual experimentation and exploitation. A thorough foundation in these core subjects will prepare our children for life as useful, productive citizens and will give them the foundation that will enable them to achieve all their dreams. This transgender nonsense puts them on a path of confusion and destruction. Teaching it is really child abuse. It has no place in Virginia education.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

To follow the popular movement of \"listening\" to a small, but loud group of voices is always dangerous, but especially for the 98% having to deal with the mess created by all the best intentions. The \"unintended\" consequences are generally worse than the issue trying to be addressed. This is another bad idea from Richmond. Spend more time dealing with \"true\" educational issues and let families deal with the other issues.

This is a very dangerous policy on more levels than I have space here to review. The most obvious dangers start with the issues of privacy and safety of the \"cisgender\" students (and staff) that do not wish to share private (sex-assigned) areas with those that have gender identity confusion, whether real or stated. (Stated so as to purposefully gain access to those areas for nefarious purposes.) Do you want your daughters, or grand-daughters, to be subjected to a male-equipped person in the restroom or locker room, or, God forbid, assaulted or harassed by someone with bad intent? Another obvious issue that seems to be (purposely) overlooked, is in the sports activities. A scientifically biological male has a great advantage over females on almost every level, in strength, stamina, injury resistance and ability, and would completely dominate, by design, every sport they participate in. This automatically gives a huge disadvantage to the natural female participants. This is extremely destructive to the psychology of the natural female participants, not to mention the exponentially greater risk of physical injury. There are probably other reasons counting into the hundreds why this is a terrible policy to consider, and not the least of any would be the total disregard to the miracle of Creation, including sexual assignment, by the Creator God Himself, who formed each person to be exactly as they were created in their mother's womb. Finally, do not discount, dismiss or dilute the absolute rights of the parents of every child involved, as they have every right to know any and all issues arising from such a policy, and are the ultimate governors of their children's lives. While we all must and should follow basic rules of courtesy and respect, children do not belong to the government, even in a public school setting, and should not be subject to policies that are dangerous to one group while granting \"rights\" to another. And as a taxpayer, I should not have to pay for the implementation and support of policies that are dangerous to the children of Virginia. Please vote against this very dangerous policy.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Trans kids need our protection, they need access to bathrooms that match their gender identity. It is not fair to ask them to hold their bladder and risk bladder infections due to lack of a bathroom for them. Teachers need to be more educated on how to talk about these issues (many people in these comments should educate themselves as well) LGBTQ+ have always been here it is not new. It's just, slightly, safer for them to be themselves. Education is not indoctrination. With this education teachers are better able to support and talk to their LGBTQ+ students. Support that drastically lowers the chances that students will commit suicide.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is natural for a child to explore what it means to be a boy or a girl and the vast majority of children work through any confusion about their gender. Like many other scientific facts that they learn about the world, they come to understand their gender is determined by their DNA at conception. No amount of surgery or drugs changes that biological fact. To ignore this and encourage a child to make a life-altering decision before their brain fully develops and they fully understand the consequences is nothing short of child abuse. The underlying issues of love, acceptance, personal control, etc. are shoved under the rug which leads over time to mental depression and a much higher rate of suicide for the gender confused versus their peers. Singling out children for special treatment can also cause major resentment from their peers and exacerbate the underlying issues. How do you think a young girl feels when she is cheated out of her athletic scholarship because she does not have the biological strength to compete with a boy that thinks he is a girl? What about her safely and privacy in the dressing room and bathroom? Women are getting trounced by men again with this policy! Each child regardless of gender, age should be free from fear, harassment, taunting and the like which is the purpose of the anti-bullying policy already in place. This is the tool that can be used to address any interpersonal concerns each child might face at school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I have found our schools to be helpful and supportive, but also in need of more information and guidance in how to best make school safe and welcoming to children of all gender identities. I support this new guidance plan for schools because I believe it will help give our schools the information, training, and understanding they need to best support all the children they serve. All our children deserve to be seen and welcomed for who they are, and to be kept safe during their time in school.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The one thing all major religions have in common is compassion. Let us have compassion and respect for everyone, even if we do not understand the life of a trans person.

Punishing children to conform, even worse without the inclusion of their parents, is wrong and goes against the freedoms and right of speech, religion, and due process. Allowing, or worse forcing, students to use shared locker rooms does more emotional harm and increased physical risks than the perceived benefit supporting the targeted confused students. Attempting to strip a parent's right to raise their children how they see fit by threatening action by CPS for neglect is on its basis factually incorrect and, again, will do more harm to families than any perceived benefit of this policy. By not providing a religious exemption to something known and expected to be divisive on religious grounds is ignoring the will of the commonwealth. If this proceeds without addressing these concerns not only will it be bad for the students and their families this will be challenged in court and waste more taxpayer money to determine it is unconstitutional.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Virginia already has a good anti-bullying law. This proposed policy goes far in excess of prevention and goes into the danger zone of mandatory promotion of self perceptions that are wayward and are against nature and nature's God. The young are especially vulnerable and impressionable. In no way should the State encourage identities, behaviors, and perceptions that tear against traditional and biblically based societal norms. I urge you to vote no on enacting this policy in the stongest of terms. Sincerely, David W. Crummett, Sr.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Singling out one group and giving them rights over another group only serves to create resentment and anger by the group that is getting trampled. You may be able to keep them from saying anything but you won't change how the feel toward their peer with this policy Do you think girls with the opportunity to excel in sports or compete for athletic scholarships or win awards designated for women are going to be happy and accepting of a biological boy who thinks he is a girl when he takes those opportunities away from them due to his superior physical strength? Do you think the boys are going to have any respect or acceptance of that same student if he beats out girls? How is the teacher going to feel toward a child that has been given the power to hold a knife over their head every time they are on the classroom? The really caring ones, who would have been their role models and mentors, are going to leave. The teachers left behind will be walking on pins and needles leading to stress and resentment toward the child. And what about the child? Children are naturally curious and explore the world the world around them as they develop, including their gender and sexuality. Some take longer than others, but the vast majority come to understand the scientific fact that their DNA determines their biological sex. Underlying issues of neglect, rejection, abuse, loss of personal control, death of a parent and other family issues can extend gender confusion. Instead of addressing these emotional issues, this policy ignores them completely and traps a child into a life-altering decision well before they are of the age of reason - potentially sentencing them to a life of resentment, rejection and depression. Just look at the suicide rates of the gender confused (especially after surgery) versus their peers. Are you willing to live with the possibility of their early death on your hands because you had no compassion for their mental health and supported a policy that harmed them instead of helping them?\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My opposition falls into two categories. One relates to the specifics of the policies related to transgender students the other to a broader issue. I am a biologist with an understanding of the role of sex and sexual orientation. While on a Bell Curve, there will be some who do not fall within the peak range of distinct male or female orientation, I believe it's a relatively small percent who are outside that range. I think more now seem to fall on the edges of the Bell Curve because they are encouraged by adults to questions their sexual identity, when they would not have questioned it without provocation. First, let's consider young children. While most young children enjoy dressing up and pretending they are something different than they are (be it a different sex, an animal, a superhero), to suggest to them at an early age that they should think about who they \"really\" want to be, is absurd. It's asking them a confusing question--something they shouldn't have to consider at all. It certainly should not be a topic at school. If they and their parents come to a definite position, it might be discussed with the school, but this is definitely not something the schools /teachers, should be involved with addressing. With older students, say high school, if they have come, on their own, to a definite identity, there choice should be respected. They and their parents can discuss this with the school to work out the best approach. At this age, a change of pronouns might be warranted, but there definitely should not be any sanctioning of others if they don't use the \"right\" pronoun. Worrying about remembering to use the \"right\" pronoun, which might change every day, is a burden on teachers and other students that will interfere with the teaching and learning that should be going on. Students should use their birth-gender bathroom; no exceptions. IF a school adopts another policy, parents MUST be advised e.g. that a biological male is using the same bathroom as their daughter. Nobody at the school should be involved with advising students about transgender issues, unless the parents are in agreement that they would like for that discussion between their child and teachers. My other objection is that these transgender policies set a very dangerous precedent of school control over what students are exposed to and told. Parents should be informed of exactly what school policy is on all subjects (not just transgender issues). They should know what their children will be taught, and teachers should not discuss personal issues with students without the parents' knowledge.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Policies should never be used to regulate behavior of one group based on \"feelings\" of another group. These policies should be rewritten to protect parents rights, all student rights ( not just a few ) and adult rights in the school system. The whole notion that the sex (sex is not \"assigned\" but biologically observed at birth ) of an individual can be changed at random is unscientific and delusional. No matter how one \"feels\", how one dresses , how many chemicals or hormones one takes or what surgery one has, their chromosomes have not changed! To make policies based on delusion will introduce chaos into the school system and society.These regulations ,as written, will require the vast majority who still affirm that we were created male or female to ignore their beliefs and rights. The policies would require all people to approve of and act according to a delusional concept. To think that a male who \"believes\" that he is a female and therefore can compete in women's athletic events is pure nonsense! His chromosomes have not changed! This whole concept reminds me of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale \"The Emperor's New Clothes\". The \"Emperor has NO clothes\" and feelings sometimes can alter the truth. In addition these policies are a breeding ground for abuse. Parents understand that their children go through changing phases during childhood but the parents are considered adversaries under these policies with the \"school system\" taking on the role of parents. The system will be used to punish all those who do not condone the delusion. There are no checks and balances to insure that any male seeking access to the girls dressing room or bathroom is indeed a biological female. We do not help a person with a delusion by making everyone else suspend reality. Society will become chaotic. Help is definitely needed for \"transgender\" people going through this phase in their life. They deserve compassion. However, these policies will create chaos and division in the school system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I attempted suicide multiple times and was addicted to self harm and disordered eating behaviors for years, unhappy with how my body looked and the expectations placed on me because of the genitalia I was assigned at birth. I didn't have the language or an outlet for what I was feeling. Educating young people about the existence of transness and restructuring the system so they have opportunities to explore and express themselves will literally save lives. I support this document. Anyone who doesn't cares more about power over people's bodies than children's lives and safety.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We know that these youth face messages of hate in the world around them; school should be a place of safety and acceptance, where they know they are worthy just as they are. And we know that that acceptance is literally a matter of life and death. A recent report from the Human Rights Campaign notes that \"More than half of transgender male teens who participated in the survey reported attempting suicide in their lifetime, while 29.9 percent of transgender female teens said they attempted suicide. Among non-binary youth, 41.8 percent of respondents stated that they had attempted suicide at some point in their lives.\" Do we want to be among the people that harm these teens? Or do we want to be among the people that help to protect them, to nurture them, to honor who they know themselves to be so that they can grow up? My religious tradition tells me that all people are worthy, and that we are all connected. In fact, most religious traditions tell us that, at their heart--and invite us to treat people as we would like to be treated. I hope that we will be able to extend those core principles of kindness toward each other to how we include and nurture the trans and non-binary youth in our state.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It has been known for decades that males can outperform females in various sports. That was and still is the reason behind women's sports teams. Allowing a transgender female to compete against a biological female is unfair to the biological females, who are the majority. If a transgender male desires to participate in men's sports that is fine as they would not have an inherent advantage over the majority. As far as restrooms, I cannot fathom permitting transgender persons into the same restroom as the biological sex unless they have been surgically altered. Instead the only way to protect both the transgender and the majority biological sex students is to provide individual single-person restrooms for transgender persons who have not been surgically altered.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This process seems to ignore the long-term and negative experiences/effects of transition so that only a positive picture is painted. Common sense tells us that is unrealistic. These policies go so far to promote an ideology and 'protect' what is likely a tiny percentage of public school students and in the process inflict unnecessary, unwarranted, uninvited and unacceptable consequences on the vast majority of students and staff. Permitting public schools/teachers to keep this or any other matter from a child's parents is a travesty, an overreach and completely offensive. With all due respect, teachers/schools should focus on educating students academically, encourage critical thinking and problem solving - it is not their place to push an ideology or social agenda or usurp the role of parents in the formation of their children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I work as a high school counselor in VA. Before the school year began, I was notified that I'd have a transgender student in my advising caseload. I asked my supervisor about the mental health ramifications for this student, unfortunately believing she was a boy. I was told that it was better to simply accept the parents' decision and go along with it. I then said that plenty of research shows that the suicide rate for transgender individuals is 40%, 36% higher than the normal suicide rate. Not surprisingly, and sadly, the student tried to take her life a few months ago. Thankfully, she wasn't successful. I have done and will do everything I can to support the student as she is - misguided and lost, but still someone in need of help from a person who cares. If you truly care about students' health and well-being, please don't support this policy. Too many lives are negatively affected - and many are lost - by these ideas. I know because I've seen it firsthand, and no one else needs to see it anymore. We can't afford to lose one more student, not by this or anything else.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This world is sick and twisted if you think that I will allow my children into a school system that practically teaches them that it is okay to alternate between genders because today they want to act like a male/female. God did not state in the bible that there was numerous genders. You are either male or female. Now I understand that there is times where a male or female has more of a certain hormones of the opposite sex even though they were born the opposite sex but that doesn't give you the right to say that you are the opposite sex because you was still born that way. All this does is open the door for pedophilia but as we all know from these recent years the democratic party has tried to embrace the fact that is okay to murder unborn children because in most cases teens and young adults has determined to make the choice to open their legs for sexual intercourse and that goes for male and female. There is consequences to the decisions we make in life. Just like this stupid policy that is trying to be passed along into the education of young children. You want to say that a 5 yr old male/female wants to be the opposite sex well let me tell you that a 5 yr old does not have the ability to make rationale decisions like that that is why it is up to the PARENTS to raise their children with the best intent and expectations because GOD will judge each and everyone of us for how we raise our children. All you are doing is giving people the opportunity for our children to be exposed to being sexually assaulted, raped, or anything else that could possibly happen to our young children and I myself will not allow my children to be subjected to the nonsense that you propose and the idiocy that you think you will pass off as justified means for kids that do not understand fully because they are young. I do not condone to bullying by no means and my kids no better than to be bullies so that would not be a case in what you are trying to pass off. Along with thinking that your going to discipline parents or staff for not recognizing gender issues or having something to say about it, well this is where you are wrong because as a CITIZEN of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA my first amendment entitles me to freedom of speech, but along with my given rights I do not waste my time telling people how to live but when it comes to education you keep your personal preferences to yourself because when you step through the doors of a school you are there to learn and further your education not talk about what you want to identify with. So to tell you where I stand with this nonsense is that I STRONGLY AND WHOLEHEARTDLY OPPOSE everything that you are trying to pass off.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Code §8.01-217. In Virginia, a person's legal name at birth is a matter of public record. There is only one way to change a legal name of a child. Va. Code §8.01-217 requires an application by the parents to change the name of a child. The school has no right to do so and no right to use anything other than the child's legal name. If the school wants a child's legal name changed, the parents must consent. The Guidance makes the false claim that a child's legal name is protected by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). School divisions are not agencies subject to HIPAA, although school medical personnel (school nurse, school psychologist etc.) may be. The legal name is not a medical record. The Guidance claim that the legal name is subject to HIPAA protection is laughable. Violations of First Amendment: Free Speech. The totalitarian inclinations of the VDOE to introduce a speech code including compelled speech is a particularly serious violation of students' rights to free speech under both the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and article I, Section 12 of the Constitution of Virginia. It is likely to subject the school divisions to expensive losing lawsuits. Violations of First Amendment: Freedom of Religion. The Guidance policies as a whole violate students' and parents' religious rights under the First Amendment and under Art. 1, §16 of the Virginia Constitution which reads in part, \"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.\" Christian forbearance, love, and charity is a personal duty to avoid bullying those who are different, but it is not enforceable by VDOE through unconstitutional speech codes. Students and their families have every right to believe in the Holy Bible including Genesis 1:27, \"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.\" VDOE has no right to interfere in the religious beliefs of every major religion including Christianity. This Guidance does exactly that. Violations of FERPA and Parents' Constitutional Rights re Children's Education. According to FERPA, \"No funds under any applicable program shall be made available to any State educational agency …that has a policy of denying, or effectively prevents, the parents of students the right to inspect and review the education records maintained by the State educational agency on their children ….\" The Guidance encourages school divisions to \"effectively prevent the parents of students the right to inspect and review educational records\" if records may disclose a gender identity issue. Thus, the following model policy may cause a school division to lose federal funds for concealing their children's school record information in the following policy: 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. Concealing from parents information in a child's record violates both FERPA and the constitutional right to privacy in the family's education of children. Pierce v. Society of the Sisters , 268 U.S. 510, (1925); Williams v. Williams, 24 Va.App. 778 (1997)(\"We hold that the parents' right to autonomy in child rearing is a fundamental right protected by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and that state interference with that right must be justified by a compelling state interest.\") Violations of Constitutional Rights to Privacy. Without best practices evidence, the bathroom and overnight sleeping policies permits any student to enter a bathroom intended for the opposite sex or the sleeping quarters of the opposite sex and prohibits the school from questioning whether the opposite-sex person is transgender. The policy is unsafe, discriminates against non-transgender students and proceeds from several false premises. The underlying premise is that a student who self-identifies as transgender is automatically harmless to persons of the opposite biological sex in the bathroom and in sleeping quarters. No evidence to support that premise. The model policies fail to protect children from predators of the opposite sex. Even if it can be presumed that the transgender person is harmless to persons of the other biological sex, the policy assumes that it is somehow harassing for a school employee to confirm that the person entering the opposite sex facility, bathroom or sleeping quarters is in fact transgender identifying as the sex for the facility entered. A heterosexual student with evil intent is free under the VDOE policy to enter opposite-sex bathrooms and sleeping quarters without being questioned, clearly a serious safety problem created rather than solved by the model policies. The model policy puts additional burdens on heterosexual students using the correct bathroom and the correct sleeping quarters desiring privacy to specifically ask for privacy. Sexual privacy that should be presumed as a right without the need to demand it. Requiring a demand intentionally discourages the exercise of that right. By intentionally discouraging heterosexual students from seeking privacy in their toilet facilities and in their sleeping quarters, the policy discriminates against non-transgender students. VDOE offers no evidence that violating the privacy and discrimination against heterosexual students is somehow a \"best practice\" supported by evide...

Parents were NOT notified about this policy being implemented. It’s like it was being snuck in under our noses. This policy is opening our children up to possible sexual assault or sexual assault allegations. Teachers aren’t allowed to question anything. It also gives administration & teachers the right to call CPS if parents don’t use their proper pronouns or “hurts their feelings.” The people in charge either need to start construction on a bathroom for transgender individuals to use one at a time. or pull the policy. This policy is setting children up for some serious problems. As I said, this policy was slipped in under our noses and it’s not only disrespectful and unethical, it’s a disgrace. I will NOT send my child to school only to have the possibility of being assaulted or being accused of assault.

No one wants schools to sanction or allow discrimination, bullying, or harassment of students based upon sex, biological or gender identification. Bullying is wrong. Discrimination against students based upon transgender status is wrong. Harassment of transgender students is wrong. Schools should neither approve, encourage, or discourage transgenderism. Schools should not pit children against their parents based upon different philosophies or ideologies related to sexual function or dysfunction. Schools should not impose major changes on American culture beyond nondiscrimination. The model policies in this misguided Guidance put school divisions in improper roles. The model policies exceed the authority mandated by the enabling legislation, Virginia Code §22.1-23.3. §22.1-23.3 seeks transgender protection, but protection must conform to §22.1-23.3. Evidence-based \"best practices\" must protect all students. Under §22.1-23.3, VDOE model policies must be “best practice” based upon evidence . The Guidance ignores this requirement. A “best practice” cannot be best if it favors some students to the detriment of others or endangers student safety. A best practice must protect all students. Each best practice must be supported by evidence. The evidence must not only support the need for some practice but must show that the policy is a “best practice.” The Guidance falls far short. The Guidance cites controversial studies as evidence of the need for protections but identifies no evidence that resulting policies are “best practices.” The model polices also exceed the statutory mandate by addressing sexual dysfunction other than “transgender,” e.g. “nonbinary.” “LGBTQ+” and other alleged sexual variations. The Guidance is left-wing indoctrination propaganda masquerading as public policy. The Guidance advances a radical leftist, science-denying, ideology that hurts majority students; is destructive of families and parental rights; and is insensitive to the adherents of most of the planet’s religions. The Guidance violates Virginia and United States Constitutional rights. The radical agenda becomes obvious early in the Guidance. It includes the First Amendment as relevant law protecting speech but ignores the relevance of its protection of religion. The radical agenda is thereby exposed as indoctrination propaganda, including the Marxist goal to destroy the nuclear family. VDOE goes far beyond nondiscrimination by trying to normalize the abnormal. To prohibit discrimination and harassment, it is not necessary to normalize the abnormal. By analogy, to prevent discrimination against wheelchair bound people, it is not necessary to pretend that wheelchairs are normal. The proposed guidelines violate Virginia laws regarding name changes and contain false statements of law to support policies that violate the rights of most students. We address specific model policies below, but the Guidance begins with definitions that reflect radical science-denying views to impose a framework both wrong and damaging. The definitions section's purpose appears to be to impose on school divisions a radical leftist worldview and to expand VDOE’s authority beyond §22.1-23.3. Definitions Several definitions include the science-denying radical leftist myth that the sex of a child is “assigned at birth.” Biological sex is established (not “assigned”) well before birth. Sex is determined by the baby's DNA at conception. The Guidance conflates sex and gender. Sex is biological. Gender apparently is not. If gender were the same as biological sex, then the term “transgender”--meaning one who identifies as, or is in transition to, a different sex--would make perfect sense. It only makes sense if gender is synonymous with sex. If gender means something more fluid than biological sex as the Guidance implies, then the term “transgender” loses all meaning. Can a transgender person be a nonbinary person who identifies as or is in transition to a Q person? The very first Guidance definition is an insulting demeaning term. “Cisgender” is the radical leftist fringe description of a normal heterosexual person. The term disparages heterosexuals. The cisgender insult is propaganda and unnecessary. Inherent in the cisgender insult is the science-denying myth that sex is somehow \"assigned\" at birth rather than being biologically determined by DNA at conception. “Sex assignment” is a propaganda indoctrination statement which embodies the mythological anti-science of the radical left. The definition ridiculously claims that “sex assignment” is a “label” (as opposed to being biological) “typically assigned as birth on the basis of a cluster of physical and anatomical features.” That is laughable. The chromosome determining sex almost always produces the internal and external sex organs of that sex. The \"Sex assignment\" definition unscientifically inverts cause with effect. Biological genetic sex causes of the cluster of organs, which the definition calls “features.” Biological sex is hard-wired in the DNA at conception. The term \"sex assignment\" is found nowhere else in the Guidance and is therefore unnecessary anti-science propaganda. Medically, the \"intersex\" definition is wrong. According to the medical encyclopedias, intersex is a group of conditions where there is a discrepancy between the external genitals and the internal genitals, originally known as hermaphroditism. There is no need for this definition of intersex. It is used nowhere in the Guidance. “Intersex” is absent from §22.1–23.3. Its presence is part of the radical leftist propaganda indoctrination. The Guidance offers a seriously flawed definition of transgender. The definition begins by saying transgender is a “self-identifying term.” If that were true, there would be no need for...

Helping young people to \"redefine\" their gender is not helpful -- it is cooperating in a lie, persisting in a delusion, and ultimately is harmful in emotional and psychological terms. Depression and suicide rates among transgendered individuals bears this out.

If the school or other state agency declares him or her to be transgender, all rights are removed from the parent. If the parents object, they must attend re-education classes. If they further object, the child can be removed from the care by a court order. This is now happening in all Democrat-controlled areas in the country: New York, California, Washington, parts of Texas, Oregon, Colorado, etc. Just google \"trans children removed from parents\" to see proof of what I am posting.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These Model Policies propose a view of gender different from Catholic-Christian, Jewish and Islamic world views. God created the human person and \"to be created means to accept ourselves as having a certain nature and design - those defining features that make us human.\" The Model Policies present a view of gender based on popular opinion, psychology and emotion; not biological science. Science shows there are only two sets of sex chromosomes XX or XY which exists in every cell. \"We are male and female right down to our cells.\" Furthermore, these Model Policies dare to intrude into the parent/child relationship which is sacrosanct. Parents are the first teachers of our children and are responsible for the care, nurturing and raising of their children. If children are experiencing gender dysphoria, or any other special needs, it is above all the parents' right and duty to be involved; to label parental involvement as abusive and that it poses \"imminent safety risks\" is an outrage.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I, as a school teacher, see much confusion in our students these days. This will only create more. While our government says they want to protect our children and families, they continue to make policies that do the exact opposite. This is not for the betterment of anyone. While they say it is to protect those who claim 'transgender', it sets our schools up for more bullying and violence. Schools should be working with parents on the education of their students, not against them. Our Social Services system already has more on their hands than they can handle, as well as our teachers and school administration. This will only bring on more division and hatred. We are who we were created to be and until we can accept that, no policy will help. Please, please do not do this to our educational system.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This type of mandate would jeopardize the bodily privacy and the safety of all our children. My family and I completely oppose any and all legislation that would enforce such things. As an educator, counselor, friend, neighbor and informed citizen, I know this policy would be detrimental to our children, our educators and our families, as well as how unwanted it is by the great majority of the population. Please oppose this policy and any like it once and for all so that teachers can get back to teaching our children math, science, history and language arts.

Let boys be boys and girls be girls\nBody:\nThe issue is the filth that has been festered on society for the past 15 or so years. Once the Supreme Court abdicated their responsibility on the issue it was only a matter of time before this evil started invading every area of life. We will not win this battle due to the days we are living in, but I fully believe all who are a part in promoting this will face G-d's judgment. The Word states 'it would be better that a mill stone be hanged around their necks and they be drowned in the sea, than to face a holy/righteous G-d. Tells me they will not like where they end up in eternity so they are wrong path/road. It might be time to go back to home schooling and/or Christian schools for those who can. We have some great teachers, but they are slowly being shut down...\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

While I feel compassion for gender confused individuals, our kids are dealing with so many issues including peer pressure, bullying, COVID fears, latch key, parental break ups, ADHD and so much more. Our kids need support, love, grace and understanding. I think we can do that for all kids without imposing opposite sex kids into their bathrooms and locker rooms. It is unfair and inappropriate that a fraction of a fraction gets to dictate and changes privacy policies for the majority of kids. This makes kids who are already uncomfortable and self conscious even more so. Please accommodate the privacy and needs for gender confused kids in other ways, besides imposing a violation of safety, well being and privacy in bathrooms or locker rooms.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I agree that EVERY SINGLE child should be protected from harm and harassment, but Virginia has very good anti-bullying laws already in place. But this new proposed law goes beyond prevention and crosses the line into promotion of politicized and sexualized ideology. 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 of the male/female binary\". It declares that sex is arbitrarily \"assigned\" at birth. \"Assigning\" gender at birth is a SCIENTIFICALLY FALSE statement- like affixing a label in a store- it completely divorces itself from basic DNA science and biology. Furthermore, this policy opens the door for Christian parents, or parents of other faiths who because of their core beliefs do not embrace transgender politics, to be labeled as \"abusers\", as it states \"when families are not affirming\" that the school should step in and protect, and further encourages them to report concerns to CPS. Exactly how is \"affirming\" and \"abuse\" to be defined in these situations and who will define them? Finally, speaking as a Christian parent, we want the freedom and respect to pass along our deeply held religious belief that humans were created by God in His image-male and female, and that these 2 genders are a gift to be celebrated and nurtured. However, this policy promotes a one sided agenda that creates a hostile environment for families, students and faculty with deeply held faith based convictions. What are the protections for students with biblical beliefs who find this ideology mandated in their curriculum with a grade at stake? The bottom line is that while this policy uses terms like \"safety\" and \"respect\", it obviously disrespects religious and socially conservative families, educators and students who simply want physical privacy. As originally stated, I am STRONGLY OPPOSED to this policy and encourage all state representatives to OPPOSE adoption of them.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

VDOE proposal does not balance well-being of All Students\nBody:\nThe mandate from parents & citizens of Virginia for the Virginia Department of Education is the safety of all children in public schools, and providing a suitable learning environment free from the pressure of special interest groups. To accomplish this, when mean-spirited prejudice attacks any student, then teachers & administrators are to use discernment for each individual case guided by straightforward school policy, and include ALL stakeholders in the proposed disciplinary process. The current VDOE proposal does not focus on the well-being of all children. In fact if adopted, it will inject confusing policy, and perhaps animosity, into the daily functioning of our public schools by seeking to implement policy which disenfranchises parents, and does not focus on the greatest good of all students.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Transgender students should receive the same strong education as cisgender students do. Teachers should love them and work as hard for them as they would any other student. Bullying of transgender students is wrong and should not be tolerated. With that in mind, I appreciate the spirit of the Model Policies and the goal to prevent discrimination. In practice, however, I believe these policies are misguided and should undergo major amendments. The text below explains the reasons for my opposition to the Model Policies . The Model Policies contain concerning elements that negatively affect both students and employees in Virginia public schools. Among the most concerning guidelines in the Model Policies is the statement that “ school staff should abide by the student’s wishes as to how to address the student” “when a student asserts that they have a name and/or pronoun affirming their gender identity” (p. 17). This gender identity “can be the same or different from the” student’s biological sex identified at birth (p. 6). If a school employee persistently and intentionally refuses to refer to the student by their preferred name and pronouns, the employee is regarded to be engaging in discrimination (p. 12). For situations in which an employee “fails to comply with the student’s request or an administrator’s directive to use the asserted name and pronoun,” (p. 13) the Model Policies state that a local school board’s policies “may need to be adjusted or clarified” as it relates to corrective action against the employee (p. 13). This component of the Model Policies is the one that I believe is the most threatening to Virginia public-school employees. The provision most detrimental to students relates to bathroom usage. Under the belief that a student’s gender can be determined by the student, employees are instructed to allow students to use the bathroom coinciding with their “consistently asserted gender identity” without confrontation (p. 17). One problem with this policy is that it will inevitably result in the discomfort of other students who would rather use a bathroom alongside people of their own biological sex. An additional problem with this policy is that it is open to be abused by students who do not truthfully consider themselves to be transgender. A biological male who holds to a male identity would be able to lie and consistently assert that he is a female in order to enter the women’s restroom. The consequences of this abuse could range from embarrassment on the part of young women in the restroom to sexual assault. These consequences must be considered before policies like these are implemented. I oppose these policies because they violate God’s created order, defy science, and endanger religious liberty. While all three are of high importance, God’s commands are of chief importance. Genesis 1:25 tells us that God created humanity in His image, creating humans as male and female. Later, in Jeremiah 1:5, God told the prophet Jeremiah that He knew him before He even formed him in his mother’s womb. Because God is the Creator that knows His created beings before they are even conceived, He alone determines if someone is male or female. He has given us instructions in the Bible about how to live our lives as men and women in a manner that pleases Him and coincides with the reality He has created. A biological male determining that he is actually a female does not please Him and does not coincide with reality. Though many will disagree with these assertions, they are no less accountable to God than those that do agree. The Model Policies are also in contradiction with biological science. The vast majority of human beings (other than some people who are biologically intersexual or have other related medical issues) have biological features that identify them as male or female. Physical features such as sex organs, muscle mass, hormones, body hair, and voice pitch clarify whether an individual is male or female. Although a man may have some features outside of the norm for most males (e.g. – a high-pitched voice and lower levels of testosterone), he will always have male sex organs. The same goes for women and female sex organs. It should be self-evident that these features – especially the sex organs - define a person’s status as a male or female. I believe that to assert the maleness of a person born with female sex organs and naturally high levels of estrogen is to deny a reality that biology makes evident. Schools should educate students about scientific realities rather than assist them in the denial of scientific realities. A third issue with the Model Policies is that they endanger religious liberty. Those Christians who are convinced that the Bible teaches that God, not man, defines gender and believe that using a transgender student’s preferred pronouns would be participation in a lie would have no acceptable recourse but to refuse to use those pronouns lest they violate what they believe to be God’s commands and their own consciences. This choice is protected under Section 16 of the Virginia Bill of Rights that states that “religion…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…” [1] Requiring a school employee to use a student’s preferred pronouns when it violates that employee’s conscience would be to direct the manner in which that employee must discharge his religion. It would restrict that employee’s “free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience.” For this reason, I believe central components of the Model Policies are discriminatory and unconstitutional. I understand that the argument that transgenderism defies G... [truncated]\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The following comments support this value, but not in the way you've advocated in the model policies. I am a graduate of Arlington Public Schools, as is my husband and our three young adult children. Parents are first and foremost responsible for the care and development of their children, and they are legally and financially responsible for their children. Parents have heretofore known the privilege of partnering with teachers and administrators to help educate their students. These proposed policies set up an adversarial relationship, violating parental rights by leaving parents out of this relationship which is foundational to the health of each family. This is extremely detrimental to ALL parent/child relationships, to the healthy development of children, to families, and to ultimately to public schools. Yet by law, parents remain responsible. Bullying of ANY student is abhorrent. We don’t need a separate policy for students of specific groups (just imagine how many policies we’d need.) School administrators & teachers, in partnership with parents and students are responsible for ensuring a safe learning environment for ALL students. The best way to do this is to foster a community of mutual respect and accountability. Current procedures to help ANY child requiring special accommodation, bring together parents and health professionals with school counselors to determine an Independent Education Plan. The young person with gender dysphoria deserves no less than anyone else requiring special accommodations in order to promote flourishing. There need not be specific procedures for each group of student. And, the procedure should ALWAYS include parents, with whom ultimate responsibility rests. I don’t see any proposed guidelines that protect students who object to sharing bathrooms, locker rooms, dressing rooms at our county swimming pools, and hotel rooms while on field trips with members of the biologically opposite sex. Will they be afforded protection? How will this play out? Does this set up an unintended adversarial situation between students who would otherwise be friends? SPORTS: The adoption of these proposed policies would effectively wipe out women’s sports. (Natural stature, muscle mass, & strength matters.) I’m in favor of retaining the integrity of intramural and competitive sports for males and for females. In the appendices of the proposed model policies, I see no supporting studies in the areas of child development, (psychological/physical/emotional/social.) I see no advocacy groups or support groups for parents/students who want to explore ideas other than full affirmation, nor to I see any admission to the fact that this is a developing area of study, with renowned experts contesting your conclusions. Please slow down. These are our children. If these policies are ratified, ALL of our children/students will be guinea pigs at the least, victims at the most.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This dignity, respect, safety and consideration should be extended to those who are transgender, of course. What seems to be missing in the conversation about transgender rights is the dignity, respect, safety and consideration of those who are not transgender. In any group, organization or society individuals are called upon to cooperate and adjust themselves to one another. This includes groups and organizations in which there are transgender individuals. This does not seem to be the case in the realm of public education. Individuals who in some instances like to assert what is scientific choose to disregard science in the instance of the transgender person. Gender is identified by the X and Y chromosomes. The individual with two XX chromosomes in every cell in her body is a female and the individual who has an X and a Y chromosome in every cell of his body is a male. This is NOT \"Assigned\" at Birth. It occurs at the union of ovum and spermatozoa. An educator who teaches something else to students entrusted to them is abusing the privilege of their respected position. How is it unsafe to a transgender individual to ask them to use a single person bathroom? It is not unsafe or an affront to their dignity, though they may not be pleased that their sexuality is not affirmed. Requiring women and girls to accept a biological male who is transgender into a bathroom or areas in which clothes are changed IS an affront to their dignity, is disrespectful and may actually be unsafe, for example. Another example- requiring a male physical education instructor to supervise a transgender male while showering is inconsiderate of him and is disrespectful of the young men in the class who may not want to shower with a member of the other biological sex. The admission of transgender females into female sports is in effect eliminating women from sport and from all the advances in sport Title IX has permitted. Is this respectful of all women or does this favor the transgender over the vast majority of women? This issue is also threatening the freedom of thought, speech and religion of many Virginians. Rather than formulate policies that allow for the divergence of convictions while respecting the dignity and safety of all, the Virginia Department of Education, in the draft documents, seems to favor the elimination of the scientific reality of biological sex to the detriment of the majority of students. In a heterogeneous society like America, there are many members who are different than the majority. This has always been a strength. The public education system has been instrumental in assisting children from different backgrounds learning to better understand and respect those differences, to treat those who are different with consideration while affirming the right of each family represented to their convictions, religious and otherwise. These draft policies, rather than affirming the differences and advocating respect for the diverse sociological, cultural and religious convictions of all in our society, seems instead more like the repressive policies of a totalitarian government. Virginia is the birthplace of the First Amendment. I sincerely hope Virginia will continue to advocate not only for freedom of expression, but also for freedom of speech and conviction and freedom of religion. The suppression of anyone's freedom is a danger to the freedom of all.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Teachers should not be required to promote transgenderism if theirs is not something they agree with. Should they support students unbiasedly— absolutely. But they should not be forced them selves to promote it. Furthermore I adamantly oppose the use of bathrooms and locker rooms by the opposite gender. Who will protect our children from those that will misuse this? My daughters will feel uncomfortable and violated if they have to use a restroom or locker room in front of a boy, even if that boy is claiming to be a girl. Rather than forcing those students and parents uncomfortable with this abomination of idea, why not create a third bathroom and locker changing area that is gender neutral. Then those that choose to live this lifestyle can use that restroom, and those that choose not to aren’t forced to.\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.

My husband has taught junior high and high school, and I am a K-12 teacher focusing mostly on preschool through 6th grade at the moment. We would like to weigh in on the transgender policy discussion. We have a combined teaching experience of over 50 years. We have seen a lot of phases come and go in the teaching processes over the years and this new transgender policy is one that has us very concerned. We certainly agree that every child should be protected from any harassment or harm. School should be a safe and nurturing environment. Virginia has done a good job of addressing this with their anti-bulling law. We have seen through the years that many children struggle with finding out who they are, what their strengths are, and how to deal with their sexual struggles and confusion. We have noticed, and seen it documented, that over time kids tend to outgrow and overcome these issues naturally. The problem with this new transgender policy is that it goes beyond prevention of mistreatment to forging a mandatory agenda of sexualized and politicized ideologies. To make this a predominant issue is confusing and actually damaging to children who are still working through the natural processes of learning about themselves and life in general. It makes sexual confusion an unnecessary focal point in what would otherwise be a natural learning process in a natural order of the things they are figuring out about themselves and their world. Another confusing issue this policy will bring up for kids is the thought process that says gender is something you arbitrarily received at birth and is not tied to your body type. This does not carry an emotionally well-being thought that I am made special, designed by God for a special purpose. It also defies the science of DNA and biology concerning the human body. Our job is to teach truth and this policy’s philosophy hinders us from being able to do that. We also see that this policy is going to open the door to other problems for families who are more conservative in their thinking. Their goal is to protect their children and see that they get an education and upbringing that is healthy and good for them and that does not break down their philosophy of wise and safe family living. They want their children to have the safety and assurance of not having to share a bathroom or dressing room with a person of a physically different body type. They want physical privacy for their children. They don’t want their girls competing with those who physically look like boys and have unfair advantages over their girls in sports. They don’t want their children coming home confused about who they are sexually because of something some teacher taught that day. These families are usually very kind and thoughtful of others and would not be abusive to other persuasions, but they will not embrace the philosophy being taught as correct to their children. They would not want what they feel is unhealthy pushed on them and their children because of their convictions. Sooooo, who is going to determine which parents or teachers are being “abusive” or in need of “correction”? This policy is pushing an agenda without thinking about the long-term consequences and problems that are going to arise with its implementation. It is going to end up being divisive and exclusive. Please do not put this policy into action. Sincerely, Thomas & Rebecca McKennett\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

My faith teaches that every human is created in God's image, regardless of sexual orientation or gender expression. Ancient rabbinic literature supports the long-time existence of gender diversity in educational settings and the need to have appropriate measures in place to make sure every person across the gender spectrum has a place to learn safely as their full selves. I’ve worked with many well-meaning fellow educators, counselors, and administrators who simply do not have the experience with trans or non-binary students to understand what is truly needed to support them. We want to do everything right for them, but it can be quite a learning process. I know it is tough for the students to have to be patient as they deal with fumbling adults unsure of how to best show them the respect that every student deserves. This guidance would allow all schools to be equipped with the policies and procedures they need to confidently provide a safe and inclusive educational experience for all students, especially our LGBT youth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

To allow biological boys to use rest rooms, shower facilities, spend the night with girls on overnight field trips, and to play on teams according to their feelings about their sex puts girls in danger and discriminates against them. There are numerous cases of girls being assaulted in shared facilities. Biological males are also devastating women's sports destroying opportunities for many girls to win college sports scholarships. Even with hormone replacement, biological males have a physical advantage because of their body and muscle mass. For girls to compete against biological males in sports like boxing and wrestling it is just plain dangerous. It is also unfair. To allow this in the schools not only endangers girls, but puts the school at risk of lawsuits. The Department of Education should abandon these guidelines immediately.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Gender ideology is itself nonscientific and a religion that the government is forbidden from mandating under the Establishment Clause. This is a First Amendment argument against compulsory participation in and compulsory belief in an anti-scientific theory—in essence, compulsory religion. There is no biological basis for transgenderism. Someone cannot be \"trapped in the wrong body.\" We're all in the bodies we were meant to be in. People who identify as transgender need psychological counseling to escape their delusion. I encourage trans-identifying persons to accept their natural bodies and want them to avoid a lifetime of medical interventions (cross-sex hormones, surgeries, cosmetic procedures, counseling), infertility, stress-inducing efforts to \"pass\" as the opposite sex, and suicidal thinking and attempts. There is no such thing as a transgender child. There are children who are confused, emotionally neglected, even abused. Parents who affirm trans identities in children are themselves confused or needy, vulnerable to social pressures, or willfully misguided by health care professionals. Trans ideology is utterly false and destructive. Government and institutions are forcing people to deny reality and accept a destructive, nonsensical ideology – accustoming us to obey the most idiotic directives.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Everyone, no matter their race, religion, socioeconomic status, age or gender should be treated with dignity, compassion and respect. All schools should ensure that ALL students are treated equitably. Policies and activities that are gender based are antiquated and are inherently inequitable are reinforce bias and prejudice attitudes and behaviors. The adults should lead by example. In reading the comments there is a common theme among people objecting to the model policies and that is fear. Fear that their daughter won't be safe in a restroom with another mother's daughter if that daughter has male genitalia. Fear that transgendered girls will be better at sports than CIS girls because of a biological advantage. When you look at the research, and talk to transgendered children, you will learn that transgendered kids are much more likely to be the victim of attacks (not the other way around), and that there have been transgendered persons participating in sports for some time and transgendered persons are not consistently beating out all the CIS females. When we support transgendered youth, and they are able to get the healthcare they need, they can and do take hormone therapy to help block unwanted hormones and align their physical and chemical bodies with their personal identity. There are numerous fears and in this day and age, when we are doing our best to protect our children in this politically charged environment in a pandemic no less, emotions are understandably running high. But we have to put our fear aside, educate ourselves, talk to each other (including talking to transgendered children and their parents) and work together to work through our fears. Protecting transgendered students in our schools so they feel safe, and opening up our hearts and minds to talk to those \"we\" fear, is what we must do to ensure an equitable future for all of our children.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I agree with supporting those who want to protect transgender students, but to take away the knowledge of what's happening in school from the parents is wrong. To expose children whose female breasts are exposed is not right. What happens when they decide the next day they identify as a female again? Everyone has seen their breasts and it will be sexualized. This is not ok. There are enough sexual assaults at schools and making bathrooms co-ed is just an open door for more of these situations to occur. Children's prefrontal lobes are still developing and will be until their 20s. Deciding you want to be transgender is their personal choice, but to change the whole school policy to accommodate their preferences is stepping on others toes. Simply not ok. I believe in female and male. So now I'm at risk of being charged with criminal offenses if I dont use the right pronoun or dont agree with this? Its Ludacris. Create a safe space for trans people as they do the LGBTQ community and any other group people create. No need to change the whole damn thing. -Angry parent\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

They seek to steer students toward transgender ideology and interfere with the parent’s right to steer their children according to their values and beliefs. Parents rightfully play the predominant role in their children’s lives to shape them and the state has no right to interfere. In addition each child has the right to expect privacy in bathrooms and locker rooms and not have to share space with the opposite gender.

Let’s just teach our children facts (real facts that is) and leave all political and ideological movements out of the picture all together. Our children face way too many challenges in school already, imposed by politically slanted agendas. It is SOLELY the responsibility of the PARENTS to guide their children with respect to this topic. I respect that there may be a very, very small number of students who are confused with their gender, but science must rule here. And no matter whether you like it or not, science determines your gender. I STRONGLY OPPOSE THIS PROPOSAL. In fact, it violates the rights of the overwhelming majority of students who aren’t transgender.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Let Transgender athletes compete, dress & then shower/use the bathroom as one group, boys as one group, and girls as one group. Anyone disagreeing with this is merely trying to make policy. And, unless there's a Social Policy Class requirement needed for High School graduation, respectfully, butt the hell out.

This is dangerous for children, especially when studies show most children/ teens grow out of gender confusion. Why encourage it when it leads to greater challenges and difficult decisions for youth....decisions that may change the course of their lives forever.

I am trying to raise strong, independent women and by allowing boys to participate in girls sports, you are putting girl’s at a disadvantage. I am the parent and therefore I should be the one to make the decisions. The school and teachers do not have the right to help my child make life changing decisions without my knowledge. Did you carry my child for nine months? Did you give birth to my child? Have you been supporting and taking care of my child 24/7? No, so what gives you the right to think that you can make these decisions for me? This is not a question of abuse, it is a question of wanting to push me as the parent out. I strongly advise you against any transgender policy in our public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Here are the top reasons why: There will be no safeguard against regular straight males entering the female bathrooms and locker rooms. They could simply \"claim\" to be/feel like a \"female\" and enter on their own whims. Sexual exploitation and abuse allowed for by law is sure to occur because of possible abuses as listed in #1. Additionally, who would be stopping a janitor or any other male in the building from claiming to be \"female\" and entering the same bathroom as a young girl? Again, an open door for sexual abuse and exploitation. Public schools will further become (because it already is well on its way) a harmful exploitative location run by the radical Left which will cause further emotional and psychological harm to our young. WE MUST OPPOSE THIS OR GET OUT OF VA SCHOOLS.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I support children using rest rooms in which they feel safe and comfortable. I support requiring teachers and staff to use the pronouns that each individual recognizes as their own. It is our responsibility to create a safe and supportive environment for ALL children. I also support students dressing in ways that they feel comfortable and I encourage our community to understand that sexual violence is NEVER the fault of the victim. The way that an individual dresses is NEVER an invitation to touch them in any way.

Terminology section - uses terms such as social construct without scientific evidence. Related Laws section under 1st Amendment states schools may not prevent students from expressing their identity after telling students in Terminology section what their identities can be, implying they can't express otherwise. For example, uses the term cisgender to imply that all students have gender identities and assigned sexes (without scientific evidence). Undoubtedly some students will not agree with this and refuse to be labelled cisgender, which they should be able to express. Telling students they can express their identities but can't express that they don't have separate gender identities and assigned sexes can be read as contradictory, bullying and discriminatory which is supposedly what the document is trying to prevent. Page 10, 1st paragraph, 2nd sentence: intentionally vague. Preferred pronouns can change daily and even within a day. Additionally, they can defy the basic rules of grammar. Page 10, 1st paragraph, 3rd sentence: intentionally vague. What type of disclosure? This implies some sort of notification process that hasn't yet been explained. Does it have to take place every time the person changes their identity (if they do so)? How are all students, teachers and administrators supposed to know exactly when an approved identity change has taken place throughout the course of the day? Page 10, 4th paragraph, 5th sentence: Creation of division-level ombudsman above the school can be read as discriminatory as it treats potential transgender discrimination as more important than discrimination of other kinds. Page 10-11 School Division prohibition statement runs contrary to document. It should be obvious to anyone with a basic understanding of the monotheistic religions and science that practicing Jews, Muslims, Christians and scientists have not agreed with the separation of gender and identity for more than 3,000 years. The policies provide no exceptions or accommodations for students or teachers whose religious faith, conscience, or understanding of biology and sociology prevents them from agreeing with transgender ideology and policies. If notifications are requested to take place multiple times within a day to accommodate identity changes it is reasonable to suppose the same notifications could take place to not put a practicing Muslim, Christian or Jew in a situation where they are forced to violate the tenets of their faith. This contradiction also seems to support certain religious denominations over others and could be seen as an imposition of religion on students and teachers. Page 11, 2nd paragraph, 4th sentence. Is this suggesting that teachers be required to take time out of their lesson to discuss the gender identity of a student because that student wants to? Shouldn't this be something the student does on their own time with their peers? Does this have to re-occur whenever the student changes identities and for every class, sport, etc? Who leads the discussion? Would students be given the opportunity to not partake in said discussions or are they a captive audience? Page 12, 1st paragraph, 1st sentence. What does \"who do not have supportive families\" mean and who is making said claim? Can read as who are practicing Muslim, Jewish or Christian. Seems to contradict declaratory statement on religious discrimination and push certain religious denominations over others into a most favorable category. How does that differ again from discrimination on grounds of religion? Page 12, 2nd paragraph, last 2 sentences. Intentionally vague and ambiguous. Using words like \"should\" and phrases like \"does not necessarily\" reveals a complicated situation this document at times presents as un-complicated. How are teachers and students supposed to operate in this environment? There appear to be no clear lines of delineation or processes built-in for the student to follow yet expectations abound for other students and teachers. Page 12-13, last and first paragraph. Reads as though discriminatory towards practicing Muslims, Christians, and Jews especially since it provides no exceptions or accommodations. The lack of this acknowledgement alone can be seen as revealing. If other students persistently say hello or hey without any gender identification is that considered discriminatory? People converse all the time without using names or gender, how does this document acknowledge that without levying discrimination via avoidance accusations? Page 13, 2nd paragraph, last 2 sentences. Reads as though parents who encourage their children to embrace their biological sex are at risk of being reported for child abuse or neglect by school. Is that the intent? Reads as though practicing Muslim, Christian or Jewish parents are being asked to remove their children from the public school system. Or it potentially puts students in a situation where they will avoid this student for fear of saying or not saying something that can be used against them, understanding that no evidence at all is required (because the document is intentionally vague) but only a statement from the student. This would seem to further isolate the student and not be helpful. The document has already revealed that it could isolate the student from his or her family as well. Page 17, Box statement. How does this support Title IX and the girls sports competitive landscape? Students identifying as girls but not on hormone treatment will have a decisive advantage over girls. Depending on when hormone treatment is initiated in this same instance, leg strength is not effected. Boys sports and records will not be effected in the same way. Page 17, Access to facilities, 2nd paragraph, 1st sentence. This document reads as though the only emotional harm to be considered is that of the transgender student. Has there been a study on how having menstrual supplies in boys bathrooms effects their psyche? Has there been a... [truncated]\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

We need to do everything we can to protect our transgender friends, family, and community members, and these bills are a great start to that. Opposing these bills is hate-fueled and cowardly.

Teaching children that deceiving their parents is acceptable is actually unacceptable. Please do not discard parents’ rights to guide their children. We entrust our students to you, but they are still fundamentally ours to raise. 2. Permitting children to declare a gender at any time without any substantiating evidence or diagnosis will lead to chaos - it puts the child in control instead of teachers and staff. 3. For their own health and safety, children cannot legally make many life decisions until certain ages: drink alcohol, smoke, vote, drive, etc. Younger students cannot even possess an ibuprofen, and schools promote week-long “say no to drugs” campaigns each year. Why then would school staff be made to affirm gender decisions that lead to children taking hormones and puberty-blocking drugs? These are confusing mixed messages taught to our children by authority figures they trust. 4. Where is the equity? These policies are not equal protection - bullying prevention measures must be universal and sufficient to protect everyone. It should not matter who the victims are or what they believe about themselves or others. 5. If these guidelines are adopted, schools will not have capacity to offer reasonable accommodations to students who are uncomfortable sharing the private spaces of bathrooms and locker rooms with members of the opposite sex. Logically, the larger group would use the larger bathroom, and the smaller group would use the smaller bathroom. Under this policy, the reverse could soon be true, creating chaos for our schools. 6. Many children need accommodations for a variety of sensitive issues. These should continue to be granted on a case-by-case basis. Any child can \"feel unsafe,\" not just transgender children. The preference given to transgender students in these guidelines is overt discrimination. 7. These guidelines do not allow for religious exemptions for teachers and staff. Instead, these guidelines coerce speech. 8. These policies require the public school system at large to agree to and support transgender ideology - belief that a person can be born in the wrong body. This is state-mandated religious practice.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

The recommendations uniformly provide respect for the children, letting them find their own way, without adult societal preconceptions being imposed, but still keeping the children safe. The only area I found not well thought out was the situation where the child and parent goals did not match. The issues of parental prerogatives versus what is best developmentally for the child are extremely difficult to resolve and I believe this document was too superficial and evasive to provide constructive guidance in this situation. I think the document should contain more concrete suggestions as to the alternate ways to meet this particular challenge.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Why force them to have it?\nBody:\n\"Sexuality and Gender - Findings from the Biological and Social Sciences\" is a report by medical professionals based on research/empirical studies in \"psychology, sociology, political science, economics, and gender studies.\" Search for \"Sexuality and Gender\" at www.thenewatlantis.com and look at Preface, Executive Summary, and Conclusion. Findings include: \"The hypothesis that gender identity is an innate, fixed property of human beings that is independent of biological sex -- that a person might be a 'man trapped in a woman's body' or 'a woman trapped in a man's body' -- is not supported by evidence. \"According to a recent estimate, about 0.06% of U.S. adults identify as a gender that does not correspond to their biological sex.\" \"Only a minority of children who experience cross-gender identification will continue to do so into adolescence or adulthood.\" Genderbread Person -- Proposed instruction is based on beliefs described in the genderbread person presentation at www.genderbread.org/ . This is clearly expression of a new belief system. Conclusion -- This proposed policy for K-12 public schools is based on a new belief system which would be forcibly, without consent or oversight by parents, indoctrinate our children with beliefs which are unacceptable to most parents. We recognize that all are born biologically male or female, that a few struggle with their born identity and have gender confusion, and that they should be treated with respect and kindness, not bullied. Likewise , the vast majority accept their born gender and should be respected, not cajoled or demeaned, not indoctrinated or advised to become discontented with their born identities. They should not be coerced or bullied by teachers or staff to learn about, report on, or support beliefs concerning gender confusion. Opening the girls' restrooms to boys who consider themselves to be girls, and the boys' restrooms to girls who consider themselves to be boys is a flagrant, egregious violation of the rights of those accepting their born genders. The emotional and psychological harm this would trigger in impressionable, developing children and young people could be permanently damaging. The only possible solution must be to provide single-use restrooms in such locations that their use does not stigmatize the users. This policy must be revised to protect the privacy and rights of both the minority of students experiencing gender dysphoria/confusion and the vast majority of students accepting their biological gender. As proposed, it is a formula for creating unnecessary confusion among children/students and endless legal wrangling with parents. We must do better than this.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Jesus loved the children so much that He was displeased at those that tried to keep them away from Him. In this petition there is a divide of citizens whom oppose and agree with this proposed bill. This was the basis on what are great country was founded on.Freedom of speech. A democratic process of healthy debate. All children deserve to be protected from harm. God created Adam and Eve. There is no mention of transgender in the bible. The bill such as this one is created by a politician / group that does not follow the will of Jesus . If you are a christian and you know your bible it is only boy , girl, woman, man. This is like the abortion issue. Jesus would not approve of abortion. Taking the life of an innocent baby is wrong. These issues can be debated in a friendly tone so every ones point of view can be heard. When the will of the Lord is not followed there is much chaos and fighting among the citizens. Proposed bills like this are drawn up without the guidance of God therefore it creates much confusion. Prayers are needed on issues such as these. If you are not a christian and are reading this you can open the bible and seek guidance on this and many other issues of the day. My prayers for you is that you will be saved and Believe that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. May God richly bless you\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I don't believe anyone would argue against that. The path to achieving that goal, however, is up for debate. The model policies proposed by the VA DOE will likely only accomplish frustrating teachers who serve all of their students well, regardless of gender and creating a litany of legal actions against the state. Bullying, discrimination, and harassment of transgender students can and should be addressed in ways that do not open the door for bullying, discrimination, and harassment of teachers, administrators, and fellow students who choose a scientific view of binary, biological sex. Add freedom of religion into the mix and these policies are a recipe for suppression of most religions which adhere to a binary view of sexuality. There has to be space for diversity of thought and belief. These policies do not offer that and are a terrible solution to a problem that needs to be evaluated and addressed on a district level.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Strongly agree\nBody:\nHow can we not agree to protect all of our children? No one should be ostracized because of who they are, whatever that may be. The mental destruction that happens to children in school by their peers and at times their teachers is gut-wrenching. A healthy learning environment is unobtainable if the basic freedom of being one’s self is rejected and abused. Safety, both physical and mental, must be the priority. Protecting children in the LGBTQ community does not remove protections for those who are not. It provides LGBTQ kids the equal opportunity to an enriching education everyone deserves. Our children and our community will be better when we can acknowledge our differences and show compassion for each other. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

These students are not rapists or in any way broken people and the assumption that they are creates a toxic environment for everyone that leads to severe depression and anxiety along with other mental health issues that effect transgender youth and the people that grow to hurt them. A bill such as this will help most importantly our transgender youth but also provide an opportunity for other people to understand those different from them and hopefully create a more kind and loving environment for everyone.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I will not allow my children to be taught or subject to this crap if it’s passed within the county schools locally. This is NOT the place to institute gender “acceptance.” Allow a girl to go topless??? Are you kidding me? Let anyone go into any bathroom? You’re asking for an increase in assaults, harassment, lack of privacy, and safety for all students. I believe gender is God ordained and not “optional.” Please I urge you to have some decency and clarity in your thinking. What would our grandparents or for fathers think about this???

If the school truly wants to \"protect\" all students, where is the protection for my 11 year old daughter who is just starting middle school? If that in itself is not confusing enough, allowing the school to bring more confusion with this gender confusion bill, would only lead to chaos and further detriment to our youth who are so easily impressionable. The same Jesus who said, \"Let the little children come to Me\", also gives a stiff warning to anyone who would cause one of these little ones to stumble: \"But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for Him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.\" Matthew 18:6. Jesus loves the little children as He loves each of us. I pray if you are reading this and you believe in Jesus that You will stand with what His word says and I pray if you don't know Jesus as your Savior, that today will be the day you come to know Him as Lord. He is such a good Father and He will protect His children. It is only by His GRACE that we go!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Gender-based harassment and social stigmatization aren't just terms in a document, they are real-life hurdles our sons and daughters face daily, beginning in elementary school. Assuring the psychosocial wellness of all of our children is paramount- the single most important and life-affirming action we as parents and community leaders can take. I appreciated so much about this document. I am the mother of two cisgender males, and even I can understand the basic needs being met by gender-inclusive dress codes, single user bathrooms and private dressing areas, and professional training and development. Normalizing gender equality in our schools benefits everyone, regardless of their sexual identity. This proposal is a step in the right direction and a joyful relief for many wonderful, loving, dedicated, worried families. Let's support our youth and remember what this country was founded on; Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

And if we don’t we get accused of bullying or being bigots? Yet, everybody else gets a say... This pattern of bullying women into submission is merely another version of our status hundreds of years ago. It’s just a facade to revert us back to be... handmaids. Just become women don’t support these doesn’t mean that they hate transgender, gay, or lesbian people. We have friends and family that we care and love that may identify with one of those groups. However, regardless or hormonal therapy and subscribing to the same gender, we will never be the same sex. Denying that is truly a remarkable sign of failed idealism. It is what is. We need a solution to support all our students but forcing children to advocate for things they don’t believe it, use bathrooms they don’t feel comfortable going in, or compete for sports and scholarships against others with unfair advantage is not the solution. Many females that have transitioned to males would not feel comfortable going to a male bathroom. That inherently explains how different women organically feel navigating this world. Let’s not forget women who were born women at birth.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

One morning they want to be a fireman, by the afternoon they want to be a doctor. Sexual orientation or gender choice should not be introduced to children at any age in any form. They are impressionable to what school authorities and peers tell them. Adults are confused on this issue, so exposing children to it is unconscionable. Parents should have the sole right and responsibility to educate their children on all subjects. They have entrusted the school system to teach them education topics such as math, science, reading, etc. That should never ever include sexual promiscuity. Please stop the madness of this bill and any other legislation that usurps the parents' rights to protect their children from views they do not hold.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

However, the proposed policies' goal to bring equality to an ideology that is unbiblical will only end in failure. One of the most helpful things I have heard, throughout my Christian walk, is to think of our soul as a room. When you are in sin, that room is full of darkness, dark people and dark forces. There are two ways to get rid of the darkness in that room. You can start by casting out the darkness (fighting it-resisting it-rejecting it). The other is to fill the room with Light. As your life fills with better people, better things to do, and more reasons to live in the Light, then there is less darkness in the room. Jesus is the Light. He invites us to live a radical life that challenges everyone to make a choice to whether to live right or wrong lives. Based on the Word of God in Ephesians 5:5-9, we should \"not become partners with them\". That is people that are walking in the dark...rather we are to \"walk as Children of the Light.\" Finding the mercies of Christ and learning to walk in His Light is courageous. It has an impact on the people around you. Demonstrating the Lord in our homes and through the school systems will inevitably impact our communities and have far great results than policies that allow explicit sexual immorality. In a world where light is going out on sexual rights and wrongs, you have an opportunity to turn the lights on. Sincerely, Brad Hanna\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I am a member of UUCA. I have a transgender sister, and have had the joy to know many youths, transgender and cisgender and non-binary. The pandemic has shown us that schools are not just places of teaching, but so much more. All people deserve the right to be seen for who they are and treated with respect. It is wonderful to commit to this ideal through schools. Finally, having read through some opposition comments, it seems very based in fear. I truly think the youth of today are navigating gender acceptance beautifully, and there is nothing to fear in supporting young people in this manner. If hateful parents would rather homeschool their children than have them taught expansive kindness and love, then that just means those negativities will be gone from public education.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

This proposal strongly advocates for a very small minority of students, and tells everyone else that parental rights and student safety no longer matter. Parents are responsible for caring for and supporting their children- it’s a right and a responsibility under the law. This transgender policy would allow students to change their name, pronoun and use opposite sex bathrooms without the knowledge or permission of the students’ parents. This policy has many unintended consequences as well. For example, bathrooms and locker rooms would no longer be safe for girls when you give a boy the opportunity to access a girls bathroom, all in the guise of a transgender student. To make matters worse, a teacher or staff person couldn’t confront students under the proposed policy. This defies common sense and is a recipe for disaster. And lawsuits.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Teachers are not supposed to take over the role of parent. If there is an important event in the students life the parent needs to know so they can handle it on the home front. It is not healthy for any child to be one person at school and a different one at home and for the teachers to be gagged about struggles the child is going through. Also, if a parent is not supportive of the child's so called \"preferred gender\" because of religious reasons according to the Constitution of the United States the the state may not interfere with the practice of that religion. All of this in addition to the students at school who will not be comfortable sharing dressing rooms and rest rooms with those of the opposite physical gender, or those who claim for the day to be one gender and go back and forth. This is not a well rounded nor balanced proposal and will cause more harm than good to all involved.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

I believe that schools should be places where all people can learn in an environment that is emotional and physically safe, free from bullying, and one that honors and respects their identities. Welcoming, providing support for, and attending to the needs of trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary students is a crucial component of making the VA education system a more equitable place. Our schools should be places where all students can grow, find belonging, and be their authentic selves. Our policies should therefore be rooted in love rather than fear. It's from this fear that we maintain education systems that harm people -- religious freedom and free speech arguments should not be used to sustain gender-based violence and continue the erasure of people's identities.

I am a recent graduate of Virginia public schooling and know, both through my own experiences and those of my close friends and community I've found at school, how hard it is to grow up as LGBT youth. There are a lot of people who seek to harm us, intentionally or unintentionally, and I hope that changes like this can help make sure that transgender students have at least one ally in their corner. I think that this document does a good job of addressing the different issues/concerns present and how to deal with them in regards to transgender students. I am not surprised by and am actually somewhat sympathetic to the fact that there are some parents in this comment section who are concerned about how this policy also outlines privacy and confidentiality for trans students who are not \"out\" at home. However, I think that this is very important for the safety of trans + gender questioning students. I have known so many students, including myself, who have gone through serious harassment and abuse at home for their gender expression, non-conformity, or identity. I don't think that it's reasonable for a school to do a thorough home-life investigation of each of their students, for both practical and ethical reasons. Even if it were, I don't think that schools have an ethical right to decide for a student who may be at risk, what risks they should be subjected to. I think that if a student decides they would like to go by a different name/pronouns at school, or desires any other gendered accommodations, that A) that should be respected and B) should not be reported to parents without the student's knowledge and permission. These policies may sound extreme to some, but they really are a very basic level of accommodation and security. It really does warm my heart that there are people helping to support us, and I hope that this kind of policy can become standard procedure.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is our responsibility to protect these students just as we would any other students. Furthermore, it is NOT the responsibility of the government or public schools to comment on the morality of student's identities or orientations. We should reject the hate expressed by so many in this venue and do our part to protect all children from hate and fear.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

To each his own if you chose to go a different way other than your God given gender, but to #1 have my child get in trouble bc he messes up and calls them a he instead of she or vice-versa depending on the day is absolutely ridiculous. In a world that already changes so fast for anyone to keep up, the thought that my up and coming pre-k child would be reprimanded bc we chose to teach him a different way of life is not fair in any form. #2 last time I checked my husband and I chose to create a child and I birthed him and we still have our rights to make ANY decision for him until he is 18. So for the state to tell me that if we raise our child the way we see fit we will be held accountable for child abuse blows my mind. How is me raising my child with my beliefs and God given sex any different than someone else raising their child to self identify. Each family is choosing a way to raise their child. One shouldn't be subject persecution and the other not. If this is something that will be placed into effect, my child will not be enrolled in VA Public schools.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Transgender people are more likely to kill themselves, transgender people are more likely to be bullied, trans women in particular are much more likely to be murdered. Passing something like this is the beginning to giving basic protections and rights for people, The most valued people in our population, our children. Please do not sacrifice the rights and protections that you could give to these vulnerable people, your citizens, your constituents just because of a few “concerned” moms, it’s not about them it’s about our children. About making sure that a transgender kid sees his public servants protecting them and feels valued. Many transgender children and young adults killed themselves because they feel as if society did not except them and does not support them. Opening the door for your support will save lives, it will change minds and hearts. This is a small first step and I hope you take it.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Now you’re saying that girls can take off their shirts completely during P.E.?! And sharing locker rooms & bathrooms are totally fine?! If a child believes they are trans, that is between them & their family until they turn 18. The majority of the population isn’t facing trying to decide if they want to be a boy or girl.

No one knows better what's best for trans people than themselves. I graduated from Atlee High School in the spring of 2016. During my time there as someone who is not heterosexual but wasn't very out about it, it was clear that even as LGB students were whispered about, transgender students face the worst of the harassment due to the fact that harm can occur simply by referring to someone incorrectly. I've read several of the \"strongly oppose\" submissions so far and they seem to boil down to either religious objections- which repeat the same arguments from ten years ago against anti-LGB discrimination policies - or harmful anti-scientific ideas about \"confused children\". The idea that one has to be 18 to be allowed to ask people to respect their gender is inane, patronizing, and harmful, even to students who may identify with their birth gender later in life. Exploring one's orientation and identity is completely healthy, and there is zero evidence of assault cases resulting from allowing people to access facilities corresponding to their gender. Equally inane is the idea that transgender students must attend private/charter schools (which requires parents' support AND financial capability) in order to be fully accepted in their daily life as their correct gender. I fully support educating students about transgender identity, as much hurt comes from simple ignorance- perhaps it could be combined with sex education. It would be extremely helpful if these courses were taught by someone who is trans or part of the LGBTQ community, as I've seen LGBTQ education harshly impacted by the instructor having limited or outdated training. Consider reaching out to former students who are now instructors and still live in the area. I also encourage the public to remember that education will be implemented as kindly as possible - you aren't going to be sued, fired, expelled, or have CPS called on you for accidentally misgendering a person once or twice. Implementing these policies is a learning process for everyone.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Parents, not schools, have the right to teach children about sexuality and the school system should have no rights to teach or encourage this. Parents and legal Guardians are responsible for all aspect of their children’s lives financially, legally and morally NOT schools. I would disagree with anyone who asserts a child can have the mental reasoning/capability to decide if they have a different sexual identity other than the natural sexual identity they are born with. Especially when these same school systems are teaching children/teens that the rational part of their brain isn’t fully developed and won’t be until age 25 or so. I also am against the policy as written regarding the use of preferred pronouns which can change from day today. Just as it may be confusing for someone who believes they are in a transgender position it is equally as confusing to those who are not who now will be held accountable for honest mistakes caused by confusion regarding changing pronoun usage, resulting in unfair harassment/discrimination allegations and/or charges. Additionally I believe naturally designated males and female should use separate restroom/locker rooms. Females are already at a higher risk for sexual assault and allowing males to freely have access to those private rooms could potentially lead to further risk of abuse. And alternate neutral gender restroom could be provided to eliminate or reduce those risks. Let’s not alienate one group of students to promote another. Equal is Equal, one group should not be made to feel less protected to comfort another group. Parents are the Parents they should in no wise be kept from having Full access, complete and uncensored, to all teaching and disciplinary actions given to their children while in the public/private school setting for any reason. Every student regardless of age, sexuality, religion, race, disability etc should have safe access to a full education with no concern of retaliation from students and staff regardless of their believes.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

Physical and verbal assault from classmates and inaction on behalf faculty and staff were very much prevalent all throughout my education under CCPS.

Everyone should be treated fair and with kindness, but this is far beyond justifiable. Teaching children to be kind and love one another regardless of difference is one thing, this is a whole other ballgame. Females allowed topless if they identify as male? Are you kidding me? This is extreme and very worrisome as a mother of two young school aged children.

We are already seeing a devastating effect on women's sports where the level athletic playing field has been tilted. Transgender women still possess the bone and muscle structure of men, and have a clear and sometimes dangerous advantage over women in sports. It is the height of irony that the 30+ years of strides made in women's athletics are being undone in the name of \"helping\" women. Transgender women are breaking records and taking scholarships that rightly beyond to women alone. This is bad from both a scientific and public policy perspective. Thank you.\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.

It is a universal fact that males are superior in many ways to females thus creating unfair advantage. The damage done to women is already being felt in states that have allowed biological males to compete, win, set records and dominate HS sports. I can’t believe this is even being considered let alone debated. Please stop this potential abuse of women now!\n\n---\nClassify this comment per the instructions.
