In 2017, the Trump Administration withdrew Obama-era civil rights protections for transgender students in public school in the United States (US). Thus, policies regarding the rights and treatment of sex-/gender-diverse persons—primarily gender non-conforming students—were left in the hands of states and school districts. This article begins with a summary of recent changes in US state educational legislation and policies that purport to help protect gender-diverse students. It then analyzes over twenty hours of public comment at community school district meetings, highlighting opposing rhetoric associated with gender diversity via state educational policy reform for one state in the US—Nevada. Understandings of “rights” and of “safety” are at the core of public statements on gender diversity policies. We analyzed these statements to support the argument that social justice-oriented approaches to educational learning environments are key to empowering administrators, educators, students, and communities—both conceptually and practically. Discussions and findings are intended for use in gender diversity policy education, future advocacy, research, and training. We ask: after passing such legislation, how does the state enforce holistic inclusion based on gender identity? We argue that examining strategies initiated by communities, educators, students, parents, and schools to counteract the marginalization of disadvantaged youth might help in this endeavor.

2017年，特朗普政府撤销了对美国公立学校中跨性别学生的奥巴马时代公民权利保护。因此，有关性别/不同性别者（主要是不符合性别的学生）的权利和待遇的政策留在了州和学区。本文首先概述了旨在保护性别多样化学生的美国州教育立法和政策的最新变化。然后，它在社区学区会议上分析了二十多个小时的公众评论，强调了通过针对美国内华达州的州教育政策改革，与性别多样性相关的反对言论。对“权利”和“安全”的理解是关于性别多样性政策的公开声明的核心。我们分析了这些陈述，以支持这样一种论点，即以社会正义为导向的教育学习环境方法在概念上和实践上都是赋予管理员，教育者，学生和社区权力的关键。讨论和调查结果旨在用于性别多样性政策教育，未来的倡导，研究和培训。我们问：通过此类立法后，国家如何根据性别认同强制实施整体包容性？我们认为，研究由社区，教育者，学生，父母和学校发起的应对弱势青年边缘化的策略可能有助于这一努力。讨论和调查结果旨在用于性别多样性政策教育，未来的倡导，研究和培训。我们问：通过此类立法后，国家如何根据性别认同强制实施整体包容性？我们认为，研究由社区，教育者，学生，父母和学校发起的应对弱势青年边缘化的策略可能有助于这一努力。讨论和调查结果旨在用于性别多样性政策教育，未来的倡导，研究和培训。我们问：通过此类立法后，国家如何根据性别认同强制实施整体包容性？我们认为，研究由社区，教育者，学生，父母和学校发起的应对弱势青年边缘化的策略可能有助于这一努力。
