I haven't really shared this with too many people, thrown out some vague mentions of it here and there on the forums, but that' about it. about a year ago i started having some health issues. it took a while - a long while - to diagnose as cancer. recently i had surgery. major invasive surgery. lost a few bits, some of them important. now, i'm doing my best to recover. the thing is, i will recover. i am not terminal. that said, this has been as close to hell as i can imagine. i can't even fathom what you must be going through. i hope you find peace. i hope you find comfort - the constant physical drain is excrutiating, i am too well aware of this. i hope that coming here helps, even if it's in the smallest way. i hope you know that we are all rooting for you and that anything you need that can be given, is yours.

There's a stupidly easy way to get around the whole "designated transgender" washroom thing--when building new schools or remodelling old schools, include at least one "family" or "ADA accessible" washroom. These are washrooms that are very much a thing in other public spaces.
It's not rocket science, and it's not difficult or expensive to add to a school's design. For example, when the high school now attended by my oldest son was demolished, the new construction plans included four of these type of washrooms. Anyone of any sex can use them, and they are not designated as "transgender friendly" washrooms; they're just washrooms. So unless Trump decides that single-occupant restrooms are something he needs to address, then we're good.
This is not a solution, but merely a work-around, a band-aid. And it may help in facilities that are being built or renovated, but those are just a few in comparison to the existing facilities, that will remain as they are. In the big picture, it's no more than a drop in the ocean.
The only real solution, is that society accepts, that being male or female, the gender that someone identifies with, and the gender someone is attracted to, aren't determined by genetics and the genitals someone was born with. And until that happens, the rights of transgenders, gays, bis and of anyone else who doesn't conform to their genetically assigned gender need to be actively protected, for instance by directives like the one Trump just revoked.

I would like to think that my children wouldn't have to tell me. I would already know. I would like to think that they wouldn't want or need to hide something like that from me.
My children are well aware of my views when it comes to a person's sexual preference. The only problem I would ever have would be if I caught them being discriminate against a gay, lesbian, bi or trans person, or a person's race, but they would never do that.
I know that had I been a lesbian or bi my father and anyone else who's opinion would matter to me would have been fine with it.
A parent should love their children unconditionally and support their life choices (unless those choices are illegal). Shame on those who don't.
