STRONGLY OPPOSE!!! How are teachers and schools qualified to help a student make this kind of decision? I’m trained and licensed in psychology and even then there is a process in helping a person determine this kind of life changing decision. Certainly a teacher or guidance counselor IS NOT QUALIFIED to do so. This is also taking away parental involvement and consent and encouraging kids to make very important life changing decisions without their parents. That is Dangerous!!! This is also jeopardizing the safety of girls in bathrooms. How do you plan to keep them safe if any boy can walk in without being stopped especially in middle and high school? This mandate should propose separate bathrooms for those who identify with another gender not the use of the same bathrooms.
