This annual survey was conducted by a very partisan organisation! This survey is largely a joke! It also seems to confuse normal, but sometimes not very polite interactions between any teenagers and those between non-LGBTQ and LGBTQ teenagers.
This survey complains that a high percentage of self identified LGBTQ students "were prevented" from using the bathroom or locker room of their choice. What about girls, who do not want biological males in these designated areas? How uncomfortable is that for these girls? This is so presumptuous and arrogant by the LGBTQ community!
These self identified LGBTQ Students come across as extremely sensitive or oversensitive! Given the daily indoctrination and brainwashing this is no surprise!
This study self identified LGBTQ students says nothing about e.g.:
- What possibly insulting language these LGBTQ students use towards other students or staff etc.
- Whether these LGBTQ students do not sometimes provoke situations when other students call them names or even physically attack them etc.
