ASHBURN, Va.—Parents of students in Loudoun County, Virginia, urged the public school district’s board members at an Oct. 11 meeting to adopt Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s new transgender student policies.

According to the new policies (pdf), public schools can’t affirm a student’s gender without parents’ written requests. In addition, bathroom and locker room use is to be based on students’ sex, defined as the biological sex at birth. Student sports participation should be sex-based as well unless federal laws require otherwise.
