Oh stop reaching..Your argument holds no water. Get lost...
and you are trying to discriminate against her.
School did nothing wrong. There are rules the school must follow for transgender children that is the same across the country. The school was following the law.
Transgenders are not going to go away, nor is the law.
You are a century out of step.
When you are forcing all the REAL girls to be uncomfortable to accommodate one child that is a problem. Those sorts of rules are going to lead to lots of discrimination. Lots of angry students and parents.
All? 10% of the students, that is not all. The other 40 percent of the girls did not protest, or skip classes. We don't even know that all those protesting were even girls, just 150 people.
Students are wrong. They have to get used to it, that will be an issue out in the rest of the real world. Many places have unisex bathrooms. College, work, shopping, they have to get used to transgenders. Whites finally had to accept blacks. TGs have a right to be treated according to their identification not what others want them to be.
Closing your mind is not going to change things. School did what they were supposed to, let her use the girls room
10% is a strong message..
BTW, why are you so adamant about this?
What's in it for you?
You libs never have a strong feeling about anything unless it somehow benefits you.
So what is your game here?
I've had teachers and friends who were gay and when my children were in high school, my home became a haven to kids with family problems. We have had gays and transgender as well as those who tried to commit suicide or used drugs because of family, school and social problems. Some were just about to be runaways.
We were a safe house before social services get involved and while the kids and family try to work out their differences.
My kids would bring them home like stray pets. I could not turn them away to live on the streets. They had sleeping bags or air bed, a good meal and a safe place till they could have a more suitable solution. We made arrangement for social workers and counselors to speak to them. They would still go to school and do their home work with my kids. I would try to give them support and some logic and facts to help them.
Some returned home, some to foster care, while other were emancipated. One sadly did commit suicide after returning home. Some years late, one ended up on the street, became a drug addict and went to jail. One boy went on to become a doctor in the navy.
I've seen the struggles kids go through growing up, and especially growing up "different". They need support while growing up and understanding who and what they are.
I'm against kids being bullies and ostracized.
I did not find out about it till some time later, but my son while in middle school at the beginning of the year, found the school bully and picked a fight with him after school and bested him. The weaker kids then because his friends and he was their protector. I did not approve of his method but did of his heart.
I have been so proud of the way he helps and tries to save others, be it school, during a disaster or from a car accident. Some times I would not know till well after the fact when someone would come to the house to thank him, or the police would not more details of what took place, and thank him for his actions. He would come home like it was just another day and not say a word.
I care about the students that need moral support and understanding. Why shouldn't I?
They are kids struggling to grow up and find themselves.
When my niece ran away from home, I was ready to adopt her, but her grandparents finally agreed to take her in. She eventually came to terms with her parents, but she did not go back home. Her younger sister eventually got mixed up with drugs and dangerous behavior but we were in another state at the time and I was not there to help her. She has been in and out of rehab but is doing well finally.
Someone like Lily is very brave and has a right to be treated as a girl in school. It is also the law.
If it is that much of an issue, the school could find a folding screen for her to take a shower and get dressed. One the underwear is on just changing in and out of clothes should not be so strange.
I'm sure most of the students have seen a brother or father in their underwear. The girls see each other in their bra and panties. I'm sure there are kids with all shapes and sizes or even kids that might have a disability of lost a limb. Should their difference be frightening or offensive?
As seniors, it is time to learn about all types of people and learn to accept them and work with them. In a locker room with all those girls a lesbian is not seen as a threat, so why should Lily?
You don't think someone would try to abuse any girl and the others girls would not stop it?
All those girls against on person? Seems the girls in the locker room are more of the threat to Lily than the other way around.
Kids need to learn to be tolerant with all people, in school and out side in the real world. Discrimination is wrong and they need to learn that. Lily, and all girls like her, have a right to be treated as girls. The school agrees, the law agrees. Time for the student to learn.
"My game" is that I care about others. Does not matter if they are abused, raped, LGBT or anything else. I don't like to see kids hurt or struggling in some way. Why is that wrong?
I've seen too many horrors and even kids that have been killed by their parents or executed because they are different.
Why would I not object to kids here and now that need to be accepted and not rejected by society?
