Transgender and gender-nonconforming students in elementary and middle schools would not be able to change their names, pronouns, or bathroom access at school without parental consent. For students whose parents are unsupportive, this effectively prevents them from being recognized by their chosen identity in school settings, which research links to higher rates of anxiety and depression among LGBTQ youth.
“a public school that receives funds under such Act shall obtain parental consent before changing a covered student's-- (1) gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on any school form; or (2) sex-based accommodations, including locker rooms or bathrooms.”
