FWISD Board meeting - Transgender Bathrooms

[topshot]

Tonight the FWISD board will be discussing the decision to make bathrooms and showers open to transgender students as they 'self-identify'.

If you can make it to the meeting please show up and make your voice heard.

This superintendent and his team are making this decision without the input of the community, actually against the overwhelming cry against this type of open door policy on our kids restrooms and shower facilities.

Is there no sanctity left for the way God created humans, male and female? It seems as though our govt which is sworn to protect is more interested in catering to the .05% of the population and their confusion, than it is in the privacy and safety of the 99.95% of the rest of us.

Good luck and I hope many many people show up and voice their opinion against this lunacy.

WOW!!!! Sad deal.

I have one in my class and I refuse to call her a him. She is a twin and a girl, and is "gender non conforming."

But I won't cave in, I still call her a her/female as that is what God made her

Does your opinions really matter when the head of the DOJ calls this an equality civil rights issue?
The DOJ can and will withhold welfare that the district receives if the district is not in compliance with federal policies.

All about the X's and Y's ...unless they are changed ...doesn't matter what plastic surgery is performed...or what clothes you wear.

Yep because she is wrong. this is not as cut and dry as the color of one's skin (it should be since a birth cert says either M or F) but it isn't. I was taken back when i heard LL speak the way she did about this issue.

About as simple and to the point as one can be.........

Not sure they ever referenced pot as an equality issue?


But i'm all for protest. We tried it over here when the feds where housing illeagals from south America here in town. The brown shirts did not care about what we had to say at all. They still don't. They just moved all of the illegals to TX where the citizens are more accepting.

Here is some of LL statements.

This action is about a great deal more than just bathrooms. This is about the dignity and respect we accord our fellow citizens and the laws that we, as a people and as a country, have enacted to protect them – indeed, to protect all of us. And it’s about the founding ideals that have led this country – haltingly but inexorably – in the direction of fairness, inclusion and equality for all Americans.

This is not the first time that we have seen discriminatory responses to historic moments of progress for our nation. We saw it in the Jim Crow laws that followed the Emancipation Proclamation. We saw it in fierce and widespread resistance to Brown v. Board of Education. And we saw it in the proliferation of state bans on same-sex unions intended to stifle any hope that gay and lesbian Americans might one day be afforded the right to marry. That right, of course, is now recognized as a guarantee embedded in our Constitution, and in the wake of that historic triumph, we have seen bill after bill in state after state taking aim at the LGBT community. Some of these responses reflect a recognizably human fear of the unknown, and a discomfort with the uncertainty of change. But this is not a time to act out of fear. This is a time to summon our national virtues of inclusivity, diversity, compassion and open-mindedness. What we must not do – what we must never do – is turn on our neighbors, our family members, our fellow Americans, for something they cannot control, and deny what makes them human. This is why none of us can stand by when a state enters the business of legislating identity and insists that a person pretend to be something they are not, or invents a problem that doesn’t exist as a pretext for discrimination and harassment.

legislating identity and insists that a person pretend to be something they are not, or invents a problem that doesn’t exist as a pretext for discrimination and harassment.

Interesting use of words since the person that is "undecided" is the actual one that is pretending to be something they are not. We all have times in our life we wish we were someone else, somewhere else, doing something else...but we pull up our boot straps and get through it...we don't demand "everybody come recognize my wallering" Its all about me and my feelings.

Quite the perversion of the founding father's intentions of what America should be. The govt founded upon morals guided by those found Bible is now being led by those who have forced out God and begun persecuting those who continue to adhere to morality established in the truth of Holy Scripture.

in fact, the state is insisting that we encourage people who are pretending to be something they are not, perverting the truth, the exact opposite of the states narrative and if you disagree then you are a hateful, -phobic, bigot.

God help us

What you "identify" as has no bearing on your anatomy.

Bathrooms are designed for your anatomy.
