The 11-page directive also urged schools to eliminate gender-based clothing and gender-based activities like having boys and girls line up separately to leave the classroom.
Schools will now be required to accept a students gender identity on face value.
A student who says she is a girl and wishes to be regarded that way throughout the school day and throughout every, or almost every, other area of her life, should be respected and treated like a girl, the guidelines stipulate.
According to the Dept. of Education, transgender students are those whose assigned birth sex does not match their internalized sense of their gender.
They said gender nonconforming students range in the ways in which they identify as male, female, some combination of both, or neither.
The responsibility for determining a students gender identity rests with the student, the guidelines dictate. Ones gender identity is an innate, largely inflexible characteristic of each individuals personality that is generally established by age four As a result, the person best situated to determine a students gender identity is that student himself or herself.

You don't believe in freedom or anything outside of the government.
People like you are just cluesless.

It should be up to the parents how a child who is uncertain about their gender identity is handled. If a male child wants to be treated as a girl, and the parents have decided to let the kid go with it, the school should respect that.
I've seen such a kid. It was weird. You would never know she was a he. When children are pre-pubescent there really are few clues to their gender identity outside of their hair and clothing.
I've seen more than one, actually.
A lot of kids go through this phase, but it is usually of very short duration.

The government always puts the idiot in control of what's important. Say no to government!
Eliminate gender-based clothing
One’s gender identity is an innate, largely inflexible characteristic of each individual’s personality that is generally established by age four.
First of all, just how common are transgender minors anyway? Is this issue really so widerspread that it required...wait a sec, where was this published? It's an 11 page-directive by the Board of Ed?!? Holy carp, how much time and effort was wasted on this when there are real problems to worry about?
Eliminate gender-based clothing
Most kids in school dress themselves (or are dressed by their parents) last time I checked. I guess this refers to the tiny sliver of schools that have required uniforms or a dress code.
To which I reply: I support John's right to wear a skirt to class, but that won't the rest of the kids from making him a social pariah.

Seriously? At age 4 most of us are still watching Barney (or Dora or whoever else is on TV these days) and haven't even REACHED the phase where we think we can be Batman when we grow up.
If they are willing to say to a teacher that they feel like a girl some of the time - then yes, according to the document - they could then walk into a girls bathroom.So can boys now use the girl's bathroom in public school?
And any student who refuses to refer to a transgendered student by the name or sex they identify with could face punishment.
For example a fifth grade girl might feel uncomfortable using the restroom if there is an eighth grade transgendered boy in the next stall.
Under the state guidelines, the girl would have no recourse, Beckwith said.
And if the girl continued to complain she could be subjected to discipline for not affirming that students gender identity choice, he told Fox News.
Gunner Scott, of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition, praised the directive and said punishing students who refuse to acknowledge a students gender identity is appropriate because it amounts to bullying.
