On May 20, 2021, the Loudoun County School Board’s Pupil Services Committee met to discuss the policy for the rights of transgender students. The new policy was developed to comply with the Virginia Department of Education’s mandate that school divisions advance students of all gender identities. The policy’s most notable and contentious aspect was that students will be permitted to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identities. “It’s about time Virginia gets a policy to protect these students,” said Harris Mahedavi (Ashburn). “We need to put a structure in place that protects the kids from being marginalized.”
Several parents made public comments expressing concerns about student privacy, particularly in common areas of restrooms. A parent from the [[Islamic]] community said, “The girls wear full coverings their whole lives and for them to have a mixed bathroom is very traumatizing." The proposed policy for Loudoun County went beyond the model developed by the Virginia Department of Education in some ways, such as addressing athletics.<ref>https://northernvirginiamag.com/family/education/2021/09/10/the-fight-for-transgender-rights-in-loudoun-county-schools/</ref> 8 days after the meeting a 15 year old girl was raped in the girl's bathroom at Stone Bridge High School by a boy wearing a skirt who allegedly identifies as female.
