Non binary camp councelor shares cabin with fifth grade girls (Calefornia)

Girls sent to a science camp were housed insleeping quarters with non binary male councelors, the camp says that they house residents by gender identity.
Parents were only informed when they returned from the trip.

So how does being non-binary get this teacher housed with the girls?

I've seen a few comments on this along the lines of, 'Well, someone who is genderqueer or non-binary isn't going to be sexually attracted to girls anyway.' People still don't realise that most of these men are heterosexual. Then they need to ask what would motivate a man to hide his heterosexuality.

@Rainbowshit

What are the enbys in with the girls?
I have to assume because there's a bizarre conflation with eunuchs.

That said, I've no idea of the relevant ages and think it's beside the point.

I'd ask where this is all going but in the midst of the ongoing scandal of the Church and sex abuse we seem to have created a new sacred caste to supplant it.

Why does non-binary in practice always translate as opposite sex?
Exactly this

The school saying it's against the law to tell the parents Shock Does anyone know if that is true ?(telling the parents I mean)
They may not be able to say in advance that "a biological male who identifies as non binary will be sleeping in your daughters room" but they could certainly say "it is the policy of the camp that camp counsellors sleep in the cabin that matches their gender identity as such it is possible that the camp counsellor sharing a bedroom with your daughter will be trans identified".

At least that way parents would know in advance that they have no control over the situation and could choose to not send their child.

You'd assume being in with girls would be as equally dysphoria inducing if you were male as being in with the boys 🤔

I'd love to know how this one is explained

I wonder when this will be happening I think he UK. I expect very soon! It’s utterly contemptible that this lunacy gets us to this point.

California is now an abusers' paradise. The whole state is basically mixed sex. We saw how at the wi spa a convicted sex offender who was naked in the women's spa was defended by men (and honourable mention to Laurie Penny), prisons are fully mixed sex and now it seems so are residential camps.

I'm not saying this guy is an abuser but we know that men with sexual interest in children join children's camps to get access to kids. And now they're opening the tents and welcoming them in.

I can't imagine how frightening it is to live there with daughters.

It’s appalling
I just cannot fathom how far down the rabbit hole this is
You have to ask why a man, and it is a man, wants to sleep in a room with young girls
Safeguarding?! A monumental fail

MrsJamin · 20/02/2022 19:17

Ugh. Just insane how far this is going.

nocoolnamesleft · 20/02/2022 18:36

That's a total safeguarding fail.

Jonny1265 · 20/02/2022 18:30

This is wrong on several levels. Why do they need any adult in there? BUT definitely not a male.

When my dd1 was in tr 6 and they were going on a residential the teachers were very clear that unless there was a medical emergency the male staff would not be entering rooms occupied by the girls.

Funny how even non binary sill means males enter female spaces Angry

Those poor girls
