Transgender Students Get New Options in California's Ridiculous First of its Kind Law

If you wanna know why peopleare fleeing California in droves, besides for their outrageously high taxes, laws like this are forcing parents to find other states to raise their children.  

Wall Street Journal reports school districts in California are grappling with a newly enacted, first-of-its-kind law that spells out rights for those students who don't identify as being the gender of their birth.


California law AB 1266, the first such statewide legislation in the country, grants students who identify themselves as transgender the right to choose the sports teams and extracurricular activities—as well as the bathrooms and locker rooms—that correspond to their gender identities. Backers of the measure say transgender children have been subject to bullying in such settings and have thus taken to avoiding using the restroom or participating in athletics.

There are no firm estimates of how many such students might attend California schools, and no specific guidelines for determining if a youngster should be considered transgender.
Signed by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown last summer and taken effect this month, AB 1266 is now facing a closely watched repeal effort by opponents, who argue that students of different biological sexes should remain separated.

"Forcing boys and girls to share the same bathroom, locker room and shower facility is in itself bullying," said Tim LeFever of Privacy for All Students, a Sacramento-based group leading the repeal effort. By passing the law, Mr. LeFever said, legislators demonstrated a "real lack of sensitivity for other individuals."
