The proof is in the pudding. Science and research have confirmed in various sources that following the kinds of guidelines you are proposing helps to support and enrich the lives of trans and gender non conforming children. We must not let willful ignorance and unfounded fears have a real impact on students and families who want their children to grow up in a supportive school environment. We know that trans and gender nonconforming students are in no way some kind of threat to other students. Flat out, ZERO evidence. It is your duty to make sure no pupils are left to suffer the consequences for someone else’s ignorance or “religious” choices. There are many schools in other states that we can look at for precedent that shows this in no way harms cisgendered pupils or their families. No reason to hurt one group when you can pass this proposal and hurt no one.
