Man... this is just ridiculous
Can you believe the Trump administration's stance on trans kids? I mean, come on! Back in my day (lol) we didn't have all these crazy rules about bathrooms and stuff. We just figured out who was comfortable with what and moved on
. Now it's like, "Oh no, you gotta use the bathroom that matches your birth certificate!" Um, what?
And $12 million for magnet schools is a drop in the bucket compared to the $35 million that's just stuck up there
Like, can't they see how important this stuff is for kids who are already struggling?
Education officials should be fighting for these kids' rights, not getting held hostage by some outdated interpretation of Title IX. This whole thing is just a mess
.
I'm glad that PFLAG NYC and others are speaking out about this, though
They know what's really going on. We need to keep pushing for equality and respect, even if it means standing up to the powers that be
.
The city's approach might not be perfect, but is it really that hard to find some middle ground? Can't we just prioritize making sure all kids feel safe and included in school? 
I mean, the fact that trans students are feeling anxious about using bathrooms because of this is just heartbreaking 
. It feels like we're taking two steps forward and one step back every time there's a controversy like this. 
Can't we just focus on supporting our kids instead of arguing over policy? 
. NYC schools are already doing what's best for their students, so why is the feds interfering? 
. This just shows how much they still have to learn about equality and compassion 
.
I get where they're coming from, but is it really that black-and-white? Can't we have both safety for women and access to facilities that feel safe for trans kids?
