Transgender first-grader wins the right to use girls' restroom

(CNN) -- A transgender first-grader who was born a boy but identifies as a girl has won the right to use the girls' restroom at her Colorado school.

The Colorado Rights Division ruled in favor of Coy Mathis in her fight against the Fountain-Fort Carson School District.

Coy's parents had taken her case to the commission after the district said she could no longer use the girls' bathroom at Eagleside Elementary. In issuing its decision, the state's rights division said keeping the ban in place "creates an environment that is objectively and subjectively hostile, intimidating or offensive."

The Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund praised the ruling that was filled under Colorado's Anti-Discrimination Act. Michael Silverman, the group's executive director, called the ruling "a high-water mark for transgender rights."

This is the first of it's kind ruling in the country regarding the rights of transgender students. No court, no tribunal has ever said what the Colorado Division of Civil Rights has said today which is that trangendered students must be treated equally. They specifically referenced the outmoded concept of separate but equal and told us that separate but equal is very rarely equal and it is certainly not equal in Coy's case.

Could work out... considering the obvious equipment issues and the fact that 6 year old boys have poor aim.

Unbelievable..its like living in the Twilight Zone except this is real life..how the hell does a 6 year old know if he’s “transgender” I bet his progressive parents forced him to be that way..I feel sorry for the child, being raised by Communist idiots

The Chinese are killing girls before they get out of the fetus.

Meanwhile, here in America, we are turning boys into girls before they get into first grade.

This should be called child abuse.

You notice that it rarely goes the other way?

There are relatively few girl that want to pretend they are boys.

You would think the numbers would be about even.

South side of the Colorado Springs area.

I wonder why that is?

And which parent of a girl would want their child to still go to school there? I’m sure the lil puke’s parents or whatever pc term they use now for 2 married imnbeciles will hold the school hostage for everything from transgender books to parking to transgender security guards etc.

Mostly I think because while you hear about a few dads who "wanted a son" and treated their daughters as such there are a lot more mothers who "wanted a daughter" and treat their sons as such.

And when there is a father like that there usually is a mother to provide balance.

In the case of the mothers, not so much.

I would instruct that my child not use the girl’s bathroom, but the faculty private bathroom.

For those who don’t know the truth, they’re not turned into girls. Each has his penis surgically removed and an extra rectum grafted in to pose as a fake vagina.

So in other words if your parents are libs, don’t even think of playing with your sisters dolls if you’re a boy or they will...
