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