Why can't boys go in the locker room now?  Is there some magic forcefield that keeps them out?  Granted, I haven't been in a school for a while, but how are rules going to stop people who don't follow rules, again?

And now because of your new rule and one little lie my daughter gets to share a locker room with a someone of the opposite sex every day.

First off, this isn't MY NEW RULE.  I have no strong opinions on this outside of the fear that it is going to turn girls locker rooms into all-access peep shows.  Plus, is it really only going to take "one little lie" to convince the school, other girls, and/or other boys that this fictional offending boy identifies as a female?  Again, I don't know the rules but are we anticipating a boy walking into the girls locker room and saying "I think I'm a girl" and the principal granting his/her blessing while the boy stares at the girls getting dressed?

Maybe your fictional daughter says "Um, Bobby came in, said he was a girl and then stared at us getting dressed and walked over to his friends and told them about our boobs and gave them high fives." and that might be the end of Bobby's genius scheme.  I just picture you picturing 8th period gym class and every boy saying "I totally think I'm a girl" and then waling en masse into the girls locker room and staring at them getting dressed with political and legal impunity.  Forgive me if this scenario is too absurd.

Seems to me like teen boys and girls managed to find ways to satisfy their sexual curiosity without pretending to be other genders and going into the wrong bathroom, actually.
