  • Sure, I do it all the time. Turns out, volleyball has a real advantage for height. Should we ban all women over 6ft from playing volleyball? Being that tall is inherently unfeminine. Or maybe we should just ban any women who are too good at sports? Women are supposed to be gentle and soft, not aggressive! Get those aggressive, competative, manly women outta here.

    The situation you’re talking about is rare enough to be negligible compared to the number of people excluded from women in sports communities for no reason. And honestly, for the VAST majority of athletes, playing sports is about community and inclusion, not accolades.





  • Ok, so, while I understand your concerns about bodily autonomy, pre-K is still very much preschool. If a lot of kids are still ‘bathroom learners’, and especially if there are still kids in diapers (!!), teachers generally have to aim for getting kids to the bathroom as quickly as possible over privacy. That being said, if your kid wants privacy, especially if he’s avoiding eating or using the bathroom because he’s uncomfortable, he should be able to have that. “My kid doesn’t want to use the bathroom at school because he doesn’t like other people walking in on him; how can we solve this?” should get you a long way.

    If you are concerned, you could follow up with your kid about in what context he is seeing other kid’s body parts. Obviously, kids deliberately exposing themselves to each other would be inappropriate, but if this is all in the context of using a shared bathroom that sounds fairly normal in a preschool setting.
