Another thread was created about this, but was closed because no link was provided. I was actually looking up information on it to determine if it was true, and found out that it is, at least in part. However, the thread was closed before I replied. I decided to post it here, in case those who saw it were curious as to the veracity of the claims made.
Here is an article about the proposed regulation:
Regulation would let students
This is the actual list of proposed regulations. The one in question is 225 Prohibition of Discrimination.

In section 7.3 and 7.4, it does seem to indicate that a student can have their preferred name used in the school, or self-identify their gender or race, without the permission or knowledge of parents. This seems to be in case the parents are unaware or unaccepting of the student's preference, and the school is concerned such knowledge would be unsafe for the student. It is still a bit too vague for my liking; keeping things hidden from a child's parents is a pretty big deal.
On the other hand, the use of a student-chosen name or self-identified gender or race is not mandatory. Nor are schools prohibited from contacting parents about the issue. Also, the legal name of the student must still be used for all educational records.
Sections 8.0 and 12.0 discuss locker room and bathroom access.
I did not see anything about hormone treatment, which I believe was another claim about this proposed regulation. I did not thoroughly read the entire document, however.

Yeah. Such a stretch to imagine the agenda behind getting guardians out of the way of guarding children from other adults' agendas. Especially sexual ones. Interesting coincidence. Doing that is exactly what child molestors do before assaulting their child targets.
