I'll admit, trans issues took me a while to wrap my head around and I still don't quite understand it. On the surface these rules seem absurd but when you look into what trans kids have to go through it sounds terrible. These directives are for the best, most kids are who they are and the sneaking into bathroom argument sounds a lot like "it'll make kids gay" argument.
The one question I have is about changerooms. As I recall from my school days changerooms weren't used for gym until jr high and even then the showers were deactivated so no one got naked. But if that were the case, or if this rule gets expanded to swimming pools or something like that, then I could understand the concern of parents that would prefer for their child to not see a nude classmate of a different sex. I don't know if that's been addressed, if so I apologize.
