“A school faces a threat of legal action over policies that protect all children – so we’re fighting back.”

I don't know what a TRA is, but perhaps they should allow everyone more options to shower?

Not quite sure how this is allowed but my position was not.

Its not a belief.

Its a summation and number of questions.

How exactly can you claim you are able to spot the sex offender 100% of the time?

And if it is not 100% of the time and 100% correct whats your number?

How may girls can be subjected to avoidable sexual offending to warm your heart?

This is your belief.

Your framing is in bad faith.

It is grooming by TRA to tell girls that she must allow a male to shower and toilet in the provision which is allocated to females.

It is grooming by TRA to tell children that they have a right to enter the provision which is allocated to rhe other sex just because they are having difficulty accepting they are not of the other sex.

Amazing, really. Because this individual believes something, females must comply with his belief. Just a variation on the tacit belief of other men highlighted on this thread that women also need to fit in with them.

You are a male who wants to be in what should be female only single sex spaces?

You want to force girls to accept that males should have free access to spaces which are set aside for the girls safety and dignity.

That is you place the male want above the girls involved.

I wonder if the school welcome this "support" given the track record?

There are a lot of people in the world who absolutely should be kept away from vulnerable people, trans and not.

Your belief that trans children are a tool of predating males is disgusting. Your belief that trans children have been groomed is as accurate and as disgusting as the homophobic belief that same-sex attracted adults were groomed as children.

My belief is trans boys are boys and trans girls are girls. They are just moving through their lives as who they are. I find it hard to believe your conspiracy that all trans children and adolescents are motivated to sneek a peek or to flash their genitals amongst their peers. All trans people I've ever met are so dysphoric they find their genitals and sex characteristics painful for even themselves to acknowledge. They're going to change in as private a way as possible. Kids can absolutely support and recognize the belonging of trans children. It's their parents and other adults trying to cast them as criminals that is the safeguarding issue.

This is your belief.

I started my transition over 40 years ago in school. I had to leave school because it was impossible to exist without constant abuse and violence. I persisted even though my changing was against considerable adult efforts to make me 'normal' and sometimes begrudgingly gay when 'normal' was a bridge too far. I have spent over 40 years in womens spaces. In toilets, changing rooms, shared sleeping accommodations. The gender dysphoria has been gone for decades and I have never regretted my decision. I assume everyone feels this at peace with their lives.

Based on my own experience, I used to believe that children and adolescents absolutely know if they are trans. And if we go to the effort of upending our lives at this age, and transition, it is almost a guarantee that we will be living the rest of our lives as that gender.

I agree that there can be no philosophising to dismiss this very real issue. The gender critical mischaracterisation of a minor MTF's transition as some goal-focused perverted action to 'gain access to girls' is cynical as hell and does no one any good. Could it happen? I guess. There are some awful people in the world. I believe I would be able to spot a bad faith attempt at transition. I believe detransitioners genuinely felt gender dysphoria at a time but eventually worked through the cause and decided transition was wrong for them. They are still a minorty of people who transition.

There used to be just as many trans boys as trans girls in the news for requesting accommodation in their schools. I assume that number has shifted to a majority of trans boys asking for accommodation, based on all the campaigns and websites against 'ROGD.'

I do believe trans girls are girls and trans boys are boys. I am not gender critical. I support case by case inclusion because I was not allowed an education. The fact that it was even allowed and culturally supported for any length of time warms my heart.
