As a parent of two elementary students and a person who is transgender non-binary, I fully and whole-heartedly support this legislation. This legislation is vital to prevent students of all gender identities and sexual orientations from being the victims of bullying, harassment, and terror that leads to higher rates of self-harm, suicidal ideation, and lower scholastic performance. Students should be enabled by these policies to focus less on issues no child should have to face and allow them to focus instead on the education they are offered. This policy will save lives and should be implemented immediately.
