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?

@Hasselhoffsheadband

What kind of grown ass adult male feels 'most comfortable' sleeping in with teenage girls? What kind of adult male 'identifies most closely' with that?
A predatory pervert, obviously.

Even a female teacher could be a danger to children, it just depends on the person doesn't it? Every professional coming into contact with children has to go through the right checks to make sure they're not a risk. I'm sure this teacher is a lovely person and is simply doing their job. So i'm sure you have nothing to worry about here! Grin

@Whatwouldscullydo

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

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'd suppose it would simple be something like there weren't any non-binary students or something, thus allowing for an extra teacher available to go in another cabin! Not that hard to understand really, is it?
DameHelena · 23/02/2022 12:20

JuneGreen, I think the question was more 'Why does this non-binary teacher choose to go in with the girls not the boys?'

Welcome to Mumsnet JuneGreen. Please tell us why you are so keen for adult born males to share sleeping accommodation with 9 and 10 year old girls as the rationale escapes decent people?

Pure serendipity that a male person got to share with 11 year old girls. Of course it was! Hmm

So female non binary students would be fine in your eyes to have male non binary males sleeping in their cabin too?

Do you understand safeguarding at all?

Am I reading this right? It's fine because none of the girls were attacked or harmed?

What is worse, is that the person who tweeted that is not only a Councillor but also a school governor. The mind boggles.

Awkwardy · 23/02/2022 18:12

Really? Oh God, I thought school governors at least were a sensible cohort...

Goatsaregreat · 23/02/2022 18:22

That person is in the Lib Dems. And we know their abysmal track record about safeguarding and children. Really not sure what they're doing as a school governor if they're openly arguing that random adult males should be sleeping alongside other people's 9 and 10 year old daughters. Confused

334bu · 23/02/2022 19:15

Is fifth grade not for children 10/11 years old?

Goatsaregreat · 23/02/2022 20:37

Apologies 334bu
That should read:
Really not sure what they're doing as a school governor if they're openly arguing that random adult males should be sleeping alongside other people's 10 and 11 year old daughters

(still sounds equally dodgy tho).

334bu · 23/02/2022 20:57

Definitely dodgy, especially as many 11 year old girls will be menstruating and will be developing breasts etc.

It’s testing the water isn’t it. We’ve seen it for millennia. What can I get away with, what reaction will I get, what power do you really have... prod prod prod
