My daughter is an athlete who wants to play on the girls' soccer team, but we've faced some bigotry in Arlington and New Jersey. We thought people would be more progressive, but that hasn't been the case. Is there a way for her to play? Unfortunately, if the league is governed by UIL regulations, Texas has a law that requires students to participate in sports based on the gender listed on their birth certificate. This could limit her options significantly.

Our job as parents is to listen and believe our children when they tell us who they are. This healthcare is life affirming and life saving.

My student recently competed against a trans athlete in a Jiu Jitsu grappling match and won. However, the issue at hand is that drug testing is not conducted in Jiu Jitsu, allowing the use of steroids. I had to deceive my student to keep her spirits up. The trans athlete wished her good luck, but my concern is that when she shares her experience online, she is exposing the trans athlete. This raises the question of whether women should be able to discuss their experiences in combat sports.

I offer support to find gender affirming care for youth, even if they need to go out of state. If parents are unsupportive, some kids choose to get emancipated at 16 to make their own medical decisions. Dealing with transphobic parents can be tough, especially if they are very right-leaning. It's important to find a chosen family of friends who accept you. I can send you a binder discreetly if needed.

A parent is demanding that District 109 designate locker rooms and bathrooms as biological male and biological female, citing an existing gender-neutral option. The parent claims their 13-year-old daughter was frightened and upset after encountering a biological male in the girls' bathroom on February 5. The administration allegedly stated that a student identifying as female can use the girls' facilities, which the parent believes violates federal policy. The parent filed a civil rights complaint with the Department of Justice, now referred to the Department of Education, after the incident. The parent claims the situation worsened when the same male student was present in the girls' locker room, leading the girls to refuse to change. Assistant Principal Kathy Van Trieste and others allegedly pressured the girls to change in the locker room. The parent says their daughter refused and sought help. The parent rejected the offer of a new PE class. The parent argues that allowing biological males into girls' facilities endangers female privacy and safety.

The Department of Justice is coordinating with law enforcement to combat child abuse in schools. Changing a child's gender without parental notification is considered child abuse. Specifically, if a teacher attempts to change a five, six, or seven-year-old child's gender identity, the administration views this as child abuse and a violation of parental rights. This stance applies to the entire K-12 education system.

AB Hernandez is a male who identifies as a female, and it would be fair for Hernandez to compete in the male category. Schools that do not abide by Title IX or other federal laws cannot receive federal funds. Taking away federal funds will hurt all California kids, so the state needs to comply with federal law. More research and thoughtful discussion are necessary regarding trans athletes. Pediatric sex change procedures are harmful and cause lifelong damage to children. AB Hernandez is viewed as a victim who has been lied to and cannot become a girl. Hernandez can compete in the male category, or the state could create a separate category. It is not fair to female athletes to compete or share facilities with males, especially since they cannot speak out for fear of retaliation.

I'm considering moving to Texas, particularly this area, and I'm seeking guidance about the community since my daughter is transgender. You're very brave for reaching out.

Maybe I'm drawing too much attention by asking athletic directors if she can play. You could ask a general question, but if she has all the paperwork and legal documents and she's already passing and has gone from one stage to the next, then I don't know. The only thing would be when they go to the locker room to change and all of those things. But if she's already got experience with that, she usually comes already outfitted and doesn't need the locker room to avoid issues.

A lot of parents have questions about social transition at a young age. There are no exact guidelines. Again, everybody has their own gender journey and everything feels right or wrong depending on the family. However, many kids do decide to pursue a social transition. Usually that will start with changing their name or their pronouns. They might want to just try dressing a different way or using a different name at home to get used to it and for the family to get used to it. Some people might want to do it on a vacation where they don't really know anyone as a way to try it out. And then slowly over time they might move into using that more with loved ones at school or with friends. However, kids do benefit from social transition over time.

Hi, I'm Denise Bell, a mom of four and chapter chair for Moms for Liberty Harris County. I'm speaking on behalf of an HISD parent whose daughter, a junior at Bel Air High School, was actively socially transitioned at school without their knowledge or consent. In ninth grade, the theater teacher asked for the student's pronouns on an information sheet. Following this, multiple teachers began calling her by a different name and pronouns. One teacher even crossed out her legal name on her paper and wrote her chosen name in red ink. This was done without the parents' knowledge or consent, going against their Christian faith, the advice of their therapist, and common sense. Meetings with teachers, counselors, and the principal yielded no change. HISD is secretively transitioning minors.

A question was posed to the ambassador regarding the appropriate response when a 12-year-old child, who was assigned female at birth, expresses a preference for living as a boy. The speaker believes that the law should not intervene in this matter and that parents should take charge of the situation.

My daughter plays sports, but there are concerns about fairness because she's bigger than other kids. When she performs well, some people claim it's unfair due to her being transgender. Incidents, like injuries, lead to accusations against her participation. We're trying to prevent such situations. If an accident occurs, would you support her? Absolutely. Is there any discrimination because she's transgender? No. We still need to adhere to Title IX regulations.

We operate within a civil rights framework in this state, which includes trans youth. The notion that there are only boys and girls is biologically inaccurate, as science shows a more complex continuum. Some children are born intersex, and others have inconsistencies between their chromosomes, hormones, and sex at birth. Regardless, state laws are clear: students can identify and participate in activities based on their identified gender. We will uphold this law.

Hey, I'm Adam Gillette with Accuracy and Media. I heard you were coaching a parent on how to break laws regarding biological boys and girls in sports. Is that true? No response. Is there someone else we should talk to? You can check with security downstairs. We're fine waiting here to possibly speak with her further. No? Okay, great.

Once we get that birth certificate, she'll be entered as a female, and no one will know the difference. Oh, well, if she's entered as a female and no one knows the difference, that should affect athletic bones. Think. We've actually changed your birth certificate in New Jersey, so I don't know if that changes anything that It may help. Mislead you. Athletics will definitely help me then. Yes. Yeah. They'll know they'll know the rules. Yeah. And so forth. But if she's entering as a girl, I mean, I don't think there'd an issue. If she doesn't tell, no one will. Well, it's on the news.

Transitioning carries risks, including potential sterility, loss of breastfeeding ability, and changes in sexual function. It may also impact bone health and height. Despite these risks, the most crucial aspect is to accept and love your child for who they are, regardless of their gender identity.

Success in school sports depends on factors such as hard work, coaching, and access to resources. Trans students participate in sports for the same reasons as other kids: fun, belonging, community, and learning important values like persistence, leadership, and sportsmanship. They also benefit academically and stay connected to school. Every kid deserves the chance to play. To address this issue, the committee could focus on making it safer for student athletes to report harassment and sexual misconduct, as well as addressing resource needs.

In New Jersey and Virginia, it's possible to update a birth certificate to include an "X" gender marker. However, there are challenges if the original order isn't available. It seems there are ways to navigate these issues, but it can be complicated.

My daughter is transgender, and we're seeking a school district that is accepting. I've heard your district is diverse, and we have family in the greater Dallas area. Can you share your policies regarding transgender students?

"Sometimes it may be just a phase of development where they're exploring their gender identity and they're kind of getting a sense of who they are, but a lot of children do end up identifying as that gender into young adulthood and adulthood." "The only real way we know for sure that they're going to continue in that gender identity is just to allow them to develop over time." "And so that's what we recommend to parents is to give them the space." "Even if parents are concerned that it's a phase, we never want to tell the child that they shouldn't be expressing their gender identity or that they should be, ashamed for the way that they're expressing their identity because that can be quite harmful." "We just want to give the child a chance to develop and explore on their own."

I plan to enroll my child in sports and submit the altered birth certificate we have. It's a legal document, so I probably won't mention the alteration again. I don't anticipate any issues arising from it, but you never know.

Taylor Starling, a 16-year-old student-athlete at Martin Luther King High School, addressed the committee after being removed from her varsity cross country team and replaced by a newly eligible male transfer student. Starling stated she earned her varsity spot through dedication and rigorous training, including summer workouts and six-day-a-week practices. She claimed the male transfer student did not adhere to the same team requirements but was given her spot, causing her to miss a top cross country invitational. Starling and a teammate wore shirts stating "Save Girls Sports" and "Boys and girls are different. It's common sense. XX does not equal XY." The athletic director allegedly compared the shirt to a swastika and threatened disciplinary action. Starling questioned why girls are being silenced while boys unfairly advance, and why transgender-identifying boys are not held to the same standards as female athletes. She asked for protection for girls' sports.

We're here to support our child, Violet, and her right to access necessary medical care. It's important for her to be herself, and we won't let anyone silence her. We're from Arizona and are concerned about how this case might impact our state. We've even discussed the possibility of moving, but Violet's needs come first. Violet has known she is trans since she was one and a half years old; she has expressed this since she could speak.

The legislation aims to ensure fairness in women's sports by addressing perceived competitive advantages. It does not prohibit private coaching or competition among students of varying heights or cardiovascular abilities. However, it specifically excludes transgender students based on their sex marker on birth certificates, which leads to concerns about discrimination. The law allows cisgender students to participate according to their gender identity, while transgender students cannot, even if they have identical athletic abilities. The discussion highlights the belief that biological males have an advantage in women's sports, citing examples like Leah Thomas in swimming. Proper gendering and respect for pronouns are emphasized in the conversation.
