Guidance Document Change: The Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools guidance document was developed in response to House Bill 145 and Senate Bill 161, enacted by the 2020 Virginia General Assembly, which directed the Virginia Department of Education to develop and make available to each school board model policies concerning the treatment of transgender students in public elementary and secondary schools. 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.

Insanity
 

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