Changing Genders is easier than ever in NYC schools

“City kids can now change their gender status on school records without any legal documentation — and play for the sports teams of their preference, the Department of Education announced Friday.

With parental permission, students can alter their genders, change their names and join sports teams regardless of what appears on their birth certificate, officials said.

“Schools are safe havens for students to develop their passions and discover their true identities, and these new guidelines celebrate and affirm all students,” said Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza in a statement.

“This Pride Month, I’m thrilled to send a clear message to our students — we celebrate you, we respect you, and we support you.”

After submitting a newly created “name and gender change request form,” all school-related documents and data — including report cards, diplomas, and enrollment numbers — will reflect the requested designations.

“With this updated policy, which allows students to change their name and gender on school records without legal documentation, we are signaling our support for all students regardless of gender identity,” City Council Speaker Corey Johnson said in a statement celebrating the changes.

Chancellor Richard Carranza is a real piece of work. Lawsuits have been filed for bias against white school employees and Asian parents have been protesting against his discrimination against their kids.

He's exactly what you'd expect from a de Blasio appointee.

The guy at R2 looks arrogant, smarmy, and creepy in that photo. I do not get a good vibe from him.

That school system sounds like a mess in that NY Post article...

Carranza says NYC "schools students will be able to self-report their gender and use their chosen name and pronoun on all official school documents".

How will the reachers like it when the kids want to change their name from Brittany one week and then Chelsea the next?

by Anonymousreply 4June 30, 2019 7:26 AM

Wow, R4, that sounds crazy; this also does not prepare kids well for “the real world”....

R3, it IS a mess. I swear to dog, DeBlasio is trying to dismantle this city.

He got rid of Fariña (previous Chancellor) and installed this racist extremist. Carranza is installing his own racist extremists in the DoE now.

r10: So instead of correcting the state's educational system so that it's more equitable and provides a quality education for all students regardless of race, economic background, etc., you just want to change the race of the learners getting screwed over? Get a grip.

What has he done that’s racist (I’m a New Yorker and I honestly don’t know/haven’t heard anything bad about him?

As for this, it’s progressive and supportive of queer rights, so I don’t see what the problem is.

Demoting someone because they are white is just as shitty as not getting the promotion or job because you are not white.

I live in NYC and this guy is not doing the already tattered school system any favors.

This won’t change. This is the future. You all are so blind to see. NYC and California don’t cater to whites any longer and that’s gonna be the trend in liberal places.

Fact is you all had everything in life handed to you and now that you aren’t getting that you’re crying inequality. Nothing bad is happening to you. You’re just getting the same treatment as everyone else now.

R18, you’re projecting. You know nothing about me.

The fighting has to stop. Not switch sides. That’s what Dr. King preached. And his philosophy & practice is why the Civil Rights Act was made into law in the 1960s. Show me a political leader more successful than Dr. King, & I will consider their approach. But until then, I’m with MLK. Love wins.

R34 exactly! Look at what has happened to the Academy Awards in recent years, particularly this past ceremony. It was more like the BET Awards, with D-list celebs galore. Where were the movie stars? Also, the nominations announcement used to be classy, but this year they had two people sitting on lounge chairs poking fun at it all. WTF?

I always avoided the Deep South, because of their extreme right wing politics and religious bullshit. Now, California and NY don't sound appealing either with their extreme liberalism. There has to be a happy medium, dammit! Being pulled by extremists on both sides is killing us!

De Blasio is exactly the type of self-hating white liberal who has a white savior complex. They marry someone of color and try to make everyone live by their standards and also feel paternal/maternal toward people of color. (Also see Ellen Pompeo.)

So basically every family in NYC with daughters who want to play sports is going to have to join an outside of school athletic league to give their kid a fair shot at playing. The ones who can’t afford that option are going to do what? Watch their daughters not get to play because the anatomical males on the girls’ teams are stronger players? The difference between throwing ability between the sexes starts growing at age six.

If these parents object to this policy that marginalizes their daughters, they will get called bigots even though the facts are on their side. The facts cited will then be called hate speech and the parents will Be characterized by the news media as ignorant and hateful. It’s already happening in Connecticut.

When did leftists decide to abandon material reality? How did we get here??

R37 it was an example (on a small scale) of how things disintegrate when black people take over. They do have a history and tendency to run things to the ground.

If whites are no longer the elites - and this could very well happen - who WILL be?

Asians. Those kids work hard and are fucking smart. They’re scientist and doctors and lawyers and CEOs. And Latinos are outstripping everyone as far as population.

And they don’t have white guilt that can be used to push them around.

Good luck with that.

by Anonymousreply 41June 30, 2019 5:09 PM

R40 but blacks didn’t take over the Academy Awards. It’s still run by over 70% white men.

The VOTERS are now more diverse. Not whose making the shots.

Wow you’re dumb.

Another point I wanted to make is that most of the POC kids who get into the specialized schools are children of immigrants. The ones I know personally are from Trinidad, Ghana and Colombia. Again, these kids have strong parental support and expectations. They don’t need Carranza’s affirmative action.

Extreme liberals (aka SJWs) believe that there are no differences between the races or sexes. That's fucked up and on par with the extreme conservatives denying climate change, because it's eschewing science either way.

Our next mayor in NYC, the unbelievably ambitious (and somewhat sociopathic) Corey Johnson is TOTALLY aboard the "trans express", and happily recites all the transtapo talking points, mostly because he actually believes them, I imagine.

All of this garbage is going to get a LOT worse before it gets better!

East Asian American here. Just want to say that, contrary to what R41 said, we're not interested in primary control. Our four home countries are fine but there's a reason Australia, Canada, and the US are still functioning despite the chaos.

We're generally very happy with... How do I put it... The way things were for almost the entire time we've been here 😉👍

We're fine as your... Not sure what but we're fine and want you at the steering wheel.
