Building a 3rd bathroom in old schools would cost too much.
Doesn’t make sense for the rest of us to take part in someones gender dysphoria.

Have you ever noticed that when it comes to the trans-debate, the rights, feelings, lives of the heterosexuals kids NEVER is brought up? The fact that the trans right debate only goes on way speaks volumes.

If I identify as an NFL coach should I be allowed on the sideline of every game. The answer is no. Robby thinks that men in the women's restroom/locker room with your daughter is ok. It's all the same. You can live whatever life you want but everyone else doesn't have to play along.

[KonigGustavAdolph]

And this is why everyone should have taken a stand much sooner.

[Othello]

Bottom line, the right of girls to be safe trumps all trans rights.

[oshanewilliams]

I’m in favor of this governor. Common sense seems to be returning to America.

[WyoSavage]

Batya brings up a good point. I don't like Trumps personality, but I do like many of his policies.

[hb]

I support Youngkin's new guidelines. Protect women's private spaces and keep parents informed.

[seanbaugh]

Probably be simpler to eliminate bathrooms altogether and have the kids use the bushes behind the school. Problem solved 👍😀

*"NUFF SAID"™️*

[davebolaton]

Good! Time for common sense to prevail.

[sreamwalker]

I've never understood why schools have public bathrooms. Why they've never had individual bathrooms. And make it a requirement that only one person for one bathroom. Considering all of the drug dealing and contraband being sold in bathrooms for decades.

He/Him is doing a great job against the Who/Whats.

I actually agree with Robby when he was talking about more privacy for changing in the locker rooms. I remember in HS i felt extremely uncomfortable changing in front of my classmates. Especially with the age of everyone having an iphone, bullies could snap pictures of vulnerable people to show others to make fun of.

[TylerDurden]

Men have no business using the women’s restroom.

[scottl.]

more states should follow Virginia's example. give the cross dressing kids a third bathroom.

[zacharymcdonald]

Use the bathroom that “feels right for them?” I don’t care how they feel. They obviously don’t care how I feel. I’m an adult so it really doesn’t bother me personally, I worry about my children. I was accepting of all this at first. But the left took it too far and I realized I wasn’t on a slippery slope, I was falling off a cliff.

I wonder why we don't apply the same logic we're applying to gender to anything else.

If a 41-year-old decides he's really 14, should we allow him back in high school, if he says he wants to go? According to this logic, yes, we should.

If a 14-year-old decides he's really 41, should we allow him to drink, vote, and move out on his own, if he wants to? Again, according to our logic, the answer is yes.

If a 20-year-old decides she's really 70, should we give her retirement benefits?

If high school students decide they're really cats and petition for litter boxes to be installed in school restrooms, how can we say no?

If someone decides he doesn't owe money to the bank or government for his house, according to this logic, we should "affirm" his right to believe he's not actually in debt.

And on and on and on it goes. For some reason we've chosen gender as the battleground on which we plan to duke it out. No other civilization in all of human history, anywhere in the world, has acted this way.

We are very weird.

[LaMaiStyle]

Love it that he won and didn’t get Trump’s help‼️🙏💯🇺🇸

[mkrake]

I'd recommend people listen to Kim Iversen's interview with Blaire White. Blaire White is a transgender woman, who took part in a comprehensive interview with Kim Iversen, and is more rationale on a lot of these issues than a lot of the people who are using transgender issues simply to virtue signal.

How about unisex bathrooms, with lockable stalls. If toilets are locked cubicles why be anatomical gatekeeping.
