I strongly oppose this policy for these reasons:

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