Refusal to do so would constitute discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Giving students a place like the school where they can live as themselves and be validated as themselves, I think is really important,&#8221; teenager Meghan Taylor told Colorado Newsline.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/oregon-middle-school-wont-say-whether-student-filmed-attacking-girl-transgender\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>OREGON MIDDLE SCHOOL WON&#8217;T SAY WHETHER STUDENT FILMED ATTACKING GIRL IS TRANSGENDER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Students from the Colorado Youth Advisory Council (COYAC) voted in late October to send three bills to the state Legislative Council. Two of the three bills involve gender identity, and the third focuses on increasing access to mental health support.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/leg.colorado.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/bill_1_24-0228.01.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">non-legal name change bill<\/a> would require schools to use a student&#8217;s preferred name in class, extracurricular activities, yearbooks, student identification cards and more without requiring a legal name or gender change.<\/p>\n<p>COYAC argued that continuing to use students&#8217; legal names in class and school publications causes &#8220;humiliation&#8221; and &#8220;deadnames&#8221; Colorado youth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With all of the [anti-trans] legislation and rhetoric being spread across the nation, it can be really hurtful, I know, to be an LGBTQ person and feel like you\u2019re not a person and you\u2019re not valid,&#8221; Taylor told <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradonewsline.com\/2023\/11\/01\/youth-colorado-gender-identity-bills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colorado Newsline<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The bill would create a task force to provide policy implementation recommendations, including procedures related to parental notification. In its policy proposal, COYAC suggested not requiring parental approval as long as the non-legal name change does not appear on external documents and correspondence that &#8220;can be viewed by the parent or guardian.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/blue-state-suspends-basic-skills-graduation-requirement-again-citing-harm-students-color\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>BLUE STATE SUSPENDS BASIC SKILLS GRADUATION REQUIREMENT AGAIN, CITING HARM TO STUDENTS OF COLOR<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Students presented their draft bills to legislators in a hearing last month.
