The protesting students divided into two groups, one supporting girls and one suporting transgender use of the facilities. The transgender support group was twice as big as the female support group. The school says the law is on the side of the transgenders.
This is disgraceful.

Student Brandi Scherlund said, “I believe if you have the male parts you go to the males’ bathroom and if you have the female parts you go to a ladies room and that's just the way I was raised." She is quite correct.

Brave girls Thanks

Of course it was 🙄 Plenty of proto woke bros in the former group I’m sure.

Bowlofbabelfish · 12/04/2019 16:48

Heartening that at least some students retain the capacity for critical thought and the courage to stand up to the woke types.

The twice as many in one group fits together with The Times article and becoming popular at when trans. And it's not a fashion thing? Hmm

Those poor girls Sad

Would be interesting to know the breakdown in sex for each of those groups, not least because it currently doesn’t affect the males. Wonder if there was a ftm student using the male bathrooms if there would be any protests?

Girls everywhere are being subtly coerced into “being cool” with it. They shouldn’t be in this situation l.

Remember ladies. Males wants always come before females needs Angry

It's encouraging that they didn't just suffer in silence. I think most normal reasonable people (especially parents of girls) will side with the girls, and hopefully it will encourage more protests at more schools, and more sunlight. Fingers crossed.

Those girls very publicly say they do not consent to this. The state legislature in Omaha FORCES those girls to rescind their personal boundaries against their consent to a male. This is state-sponsored rape culture in the USA.

LizzieSiddal · 12/04/2019 18:06

Why can’t the school just put in some mixed sex toilets, and keep single sex ones? Then everyone would be happy.

Instead girls needs are trampled on.Angry

OldCrone · 12/04/2019 18:08

We have single sex toilets because girls' bodies are different from boys' bodies, not because girls' brains are different from boys' brains.

DonaldTwain · 12/04/2019 18:11

It shouldn’t matter whether more students are in favour or against. Girls have a human right to privacy and human rights are not, in civilised societies, trampled on by majority rule.
But looking at some point of the reactions to the Georgia abortion bill on Twitter I am seriously doubting whether the US can call itself a civilised society anymore ☹️

Freespeecher · 12/04/2019 18:16

Was looking to see which state it was in - Nebraska is neither known to be woke like Oregon nor bible belt (well, not Southern bible belt) so one to watch.

JackyHolyoake · 12/04/2019 18:19

"Why can’t the school just put in some mixed sex toilets, and keep single sex ones?"

Because organisations like the "Human Rights Campaign" [HRC] have been captured by heterosexual males who express the paraphilia that is autogynephilia. HRC input, under the guise of civil rights, has promoted the creation of state-level laws that ignore sex and prioritise the as yet undefined notion that is "gender identity" to the extent that all female single-sex spaces etc should be accessible to anyone who "identifies" as female.

HRC advocates for the male "right" to behave sexually at any time, in any place to be imposed on females against their consent.

I can just imagine the intense pressure to be a “cool girl” even if you’re not comfortable with it. The fear of ostracisation and abuse. We all remember what schools are like.

JackyHolyoake · 12/04/2019 18:32

Girls everywhere are being subtly coerced

Girls everywhere are being groomed by men to rescind their personal boundaries against their consent. Think about why?

S1naidSucks · 12/04/2019 18:43

I think we can safely say that headmistress doesn’t agree with mixed sex bathrooms. She was stating the law as it stands but didn’t once say she agreed with it. The fact that the students won’t be punished is very heartening. Putting women back in their patriarchal ruled places makes it easier for men to enter female spaces and push boundaries, at the expense of the safety of women and children.

AncientLights · 12/04/2019 18:45

Why does the headline have to refer to 'trans rights' and not girls' rights?

FuzzyLilac · 12/04/2019 18:48

Because girls rights dont matter.

truthisarevolutionaryact · 12/04/2019 18:52

So depressing. These poor girls having their rights to privacy and safety removed at a time when there is a shocking rise in women being sexually assaulted, upskirted, murdered by men claiming it was 'sex gone wrong' and the host of other indignities that men who do not respect women's boundaries inflict on them.

Erythronium · 12/04/2019 18:59

Lots of boys on that hilltop supporting a boy's right to enter the giirls' toilets. It costs them nothing to destroy the rights of girls.

On the other hand it's heartening to see a female-only group standing up for themselves.
