So what is to stop them from being sexual with the girls they are staying with? Just because they identify as a female doesn't mean they aren't attracted to females.
What/who is to stop a female from being sexual with another female?
I'm more concerned about pregnancy.
Let's illustrate the original post.
There is a child who pretends to identify as a different gender in order to sleep with the opposite sex on this field trip. For this to be believable, wouldn't this child have needed to pretend for a longer period of time, prior to the announcement of said trip? You're undermining the evaluation process and competent adults capable of making rational and common sense decisions.
Why does it concern you? Realistically, the odds of that happening are close to 0.
This wouldn't magically make people have sex. If they were going to they would do it no matter what this policy was.When I was in elementary school there was an 11 year old girl who was pregnant multiple times. All abortions :S It concerns me because if I ever have a daughter I wouldn't want to take this chance.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, don't lash out at me for stating mine.
It's wrong and it supports a mental deficiency. Instead of helping these children understand what is wrong in their head, they are enabling them. There is something wrong with a male if he wants to be a female. Every gender is born with natural instinctive attractions to the other gender. If the specimen is lacking these attributes than they are either A) lying and seeking attention, B) have a genetic mutation, or C) have a severe mental disability or distortion. Enabling them to act in antisocial and unnatural manners is wrong.
