VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Consider this policy "table" in the context of the bigger 'Program'. It's by design, it's top down and its slow creep is coming to a head...
""Students are not required to obtain parental/guardian consent or a court-ordered name and/or gender change before being addressed by their affirmed name and pronouns." "Schools will want to avoid practices and events based on gender, instead opting for gender neutral activities...." ""All students desire privacy and safety when using school facilities such as changing rooms and restrooms. TGE students are entitled under Title IX and the NYS Human Rights Law to use the restroom that aligns with their gender identity. The United States Department of Education has stated that: [u]nder Title IX, discrimination based on a person’s gender identity, a person’s transgender status, or a person’s nonconformity to sex stereotypes constitutes discrimination based on sex. As such, prohibiting a student from accessing the restrooms that match [their] gender identity is prohibited sex discrimination under Title IX. There is a public interest in ensuring that all students, including transgender students, have the opportunity to learn in an environment free of sex discrimination.66" "... Under GENDA, schools may not ask a TGE person to use a single-stall restroom because of someone else’s concerns or condition the use of facilities such as restrooms, locker rooms, or residential facilities upon students’ provision of medical or other specific documentation."
