The Frisco Independent School District changes its rules to require students to use bathrooms and changing rooms that align with the gender assigned at birth.
Trustees said accommodations will be made for students who ask to use private bathrooms.
"According to recent studies, 75% of transgender youth feel unsafe at school. Having to ask for and use a special bathroom requires the trans student to draw attention to themselves and may require them to run across the entire campus to tend to their bodily functions. That is not inclusive, or kind," said Ellie Patel, a parent.
