Page "Employment Non-Discrimination Act" Paragraph 28

The Traditional Values Coalition bases its argument against additional legal protections for gender identity on fears that it will have a negative impact on school children, claiming that ENDA would threaten a stable and supportive learning environment.

A non-discrimination policy would eliminate schools ' ability to discriminate against transgender teachers.

Likewise, the Traditional Values Coalition is concerned that parents are not being adequately informed of the presence of transgender teachers in their children's classrooms.

It argues that children should not be “ subjected to transgendered man ’ s bizarre sexual transformation ,” as it claims transgender individuals are “ seriously mentally disturbed .” The Traditional Values Coalition argues that individuals cannot change their sex, even with surgery, and do not believe it is possible to successfully transition from one sex to another.
