Appeals Board Upholds High School Bathroom Policy For Transgender Teen

[CherryPanda]

A transgender teenager, who was born male but identifies as a female, can continue to use a women's restroom and locker room at a Jefferson County Public School.
In a 5-to-1 vote, an appeal board upheld Atherton High School's nondiscrimination policy Thursday, which states the school must accept the gender identity each student asserts and shouldn't discriminate on the use of school space on the basis of gender identity nor gender expression.
The current JCPS policy allows individual schools to set their own policies on the use of facilities.

The story is so controversial that I had to spend several minutes just digesting it and coming to an opinion. And I had to say I am shocked.
First, I didn’t get from the article if the kid has already undergone the transgender surgery (haven’t found either if such surgery is even possible for teenagers). Because if he is physically a boy than it’s not really healthy to let him go to girls’ restroom.
Second, has anyone asked the girls how they would feel about a boy coming to their lady’s room? I bet they don’t care that he’s a girl in his head. So I wonder why it is considered ok that the right of the many for privacy is overruled by the right of one for… what, exactly?
Though I sympathize the kid in his/her struggle for identity and all, I don’t see the situation and the resolution as fair.

Give the freak a slop bucket and a closet, or diapers.

The key of course like the OP says, is whether he's had the surgery or not. Just deciding one day you want to be a girl doesn't make it so until the surgery.
Just like Bradley Manning, until he's had all the surgeries and treatments I refuse to call him Chelsea.

I wonder what would happen if any of the real girls there were to object to this arrangement.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. Would I be one of them if I was there? Yes. To me, a male in a dress is still a male...no matter what it is that they have done to themselves to try and cross over.

The end result is someone with junk in the girl's bathroom.

Was that supposed to be funny?

Don't ever try your luck at stand-up, son.

It will be painful.

How is it that we used to know this but now need to be told what was already self-evident?

Psychoanalysis in Its Death Throes The Moral and Intellectual Legacy of a Pseudoscience <<<<<<<this is why psychiatry has gone batty. Educate yourselves, folks, and ignore the glares and stares from those who will suppress truth in order to foster an agenda.

If you look at brains scans of male transsexuals you see that they don't match those of men, but that doesn't mean they are women because their brain scans don't match those of women either.,

It is inaccurate to say that these guys are women trapped inside of a man's body. It is accurate to say that they are not-men trapped inside the body of men.

don't hate me because you are a mental defective. Blame your parents and the New Psychology that refuses to try and help creeps like you become normal.

The freaks just keep coming. They should join a circus.

Damn I'm old

raise your hand if you went to school with someone who was confused about what gender they are?

Seriously, when did this become a thing?
