Reality Check: Boys Are Boys, Girls Are Girls — Bring Common Sense Back to Our Schools

In today’s climate of confusion, one truth stands unwavering: boys are boys, and girls are girls. There are only two genders—male and female—and biology still matters, no matter how hard activists try to erase it.

Unfortunately, this basic truth is being thrown out the window in K–12 schools across America. Policies that once existed to protect children’s privacy, safety, and fairness are now being rewritten to accommodate gender ideology—and it’s costing girls their spaces, their safety, and their voices.

❗ The Problem: Identity Overrides Reality

Across the country, school districts are adopting policies that allow biological males who “identify” as girls to use girls’ locker rooms, bathrooms, and compete in girls’ sports. This isn’t compassion—it’s confusion, and it’s happening in the name of “inclusion.”

📚 In Washington State, for example, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) supports policies allowing students to use facilities that align with their gender identity rather than their biological sex (OSPI, Gender-Inclusive Schools, 2023).

🚻 In the Evergreen School District, boundary policies and the district’s adherence to WIAA gender guidelines allow students identifying as transgender to participate in sports and access locker rooms according to their declared gender identity—not their sex assigned at birth.

⚠️ The Consequences: Privacy & Fairness Undermined

These policies have real impacts—especially on girls:

➤

Privacy Invasion

Girls are being forced to undress in front of biological males in locker rooms or risk being labeled “transphobic” for objecting.

“My daughter was traumatized,” said a mother in California after her 14-year-old reported a biological male undressing in the girls’ locker room. “She felt helpless and betrayed by the school.”

➤

Unfair Competition

In Connecticut, two biologically male athletes identifying as girls won 15 women’s state track titles, titles previously held by nine different girls (Alliance Defending Freedom, 2020).

“We all know the outcome of the race before it even begins,” said Selina Soule, a high school athlete and plaintiff in the lawsuit. “It’s demoralizing.”

A 2021 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that trans-identified males retain a performance advantage in speed and strength even after a year of hormone suppression.

🎓 K–12 Schools Are Losing Their Compass

Public schools were created to educate—not indoctrinate. Yet many K–12 systems are prioritizing ideology over objective truth.

🔍 According to Gallup (2023):

Only 31% of Americans are confident in public schools.
Trust has dropped nearly 20 percentage points over the last 20 years.

📉 Enrollment in public schools is also declining:

The National Center for Education Statistics reports a 3% drop in public school enrollment between 2020 and 2022.
Parents cite dissatisfaction with curriculum and safety as top reasons.

🧠 It’s Time to Return to Common Sense

Common sense isn’t hate. It’s not phobic. It’s not political. It’s reality.

If your son identifies as a girl, he still has male anatomy. That does not entitle him to enter the girls’ locker room, compete in girls’ sports, or take over girls’ safe spaces. There’s a line—and it needs to be redrawn.

Let’s be clear:

Boys should not be in girls’ restrooms or changing areas.
Male athletes should not compete against girls.
Teachers and parents should not be forced to lie to children about biological reality.

🗣️ Final Thoughts: Protecting Girls Is Not Controversial

We don’t need more radical policies. We need bravery, clarity, and common sense.

Let’s stop pretending that confusion is compassion. Our daughters, our schools, and our country deserve better.

Bring common sense back. Restore fairness. Protect girls.
