College Allows Transgender Man to Expose Himself to Young Girls

A Washington college said their non-discrimination policy prevents them from stopping a transgender man from exposing himself to young girls inside a women’s locker room, according to a group of concerned parents.

“Little girls should not be exposed to naked men, period,” said David Hacker, senior legal counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom. A group of concerned parents contacted the legal firm for help.

Hacker said a 45-year-old male student,who dresses as a woman and goes by the name Colleen Francis,undressed and exposed his genitals on several occasions inside the woman’s locker room at Evergreen State College.

Students from nearby Olympia High School as well as children at a local swimming club share locker rooms with the college.

According to a police report, the mother of a 17-year-old girl complained after her daughter saw the transgender individual walking naked in the locker room. A female swim coach confronted the man sprawled out in a sauna exposing himself.She ordered him to leave and called police.

The coach later apologized when she discovered the man was transgendered but explained there were girls using the facility as young as six years old who weren’t used to seeing male genitals.

According to the police report, the local district attorney probably will not pursue charges because he said the “criminal law is very vague in this area.” Francis told KIRO-TV that he was born a man but chose to live as a woman in 2009. Francis said he felt discriminated against after he was told told leave.

“This is not 1959 Alabama,” Francis told the television station. “We don’t call police for drinking from the wrong water fountain.” Hacker and local parents are outraged over the college’s response to the incident.

Wagglebee and Little Jeremiah, thank you for posting this.

I'm pinging it to the GRPL Great Reformed Ping List.

My reason is that I cited this story of the transgendered man wanting to be in the locker room with elementary and high school girls here...

... as an example in the ongoing online “Two Kingdoms” debate between retired Mid-America Reformed Seminary professor Dr. Nelson Kloosterman and Dr. Daryl Hart, a former professor at Westminster Seminary who now teaches at Hillsdale College. Dr. Kloosterman is a PCA minister who used to be URCNA; Dr. Hart is an Orthodox Presbyterian elder.

To put it mildly, I'm not happy with the way this “Two Kingdoms” debate is going.

This, I think, is the bottom line —

We're hearing from Dr. Hart and other Two Kingdoms advocates that they want to use some undefined “natural law” based on Romans 1-3, not biblical principles or even the Ten Commandments, as the foundation for civil law.

This has immediate and direct implications for whether the government can prohibit abortion, homosexual marriage, and all sorts of other things which are clearly contrary to Scripture but which a large percentage of Americans don't mind anymore.

While general revelation is enough to leave people without excuse for their unbelief, according to Scripture, it is not enough to save people. Why do we think natural law based on general revelation provides any sort of firm foundation upon which to build a civil government?

I am pretty jaded about what general revelation actually reveals to unconverted and unrepentantly sinful hearts, or even to the converted hearts of lots of sincere but ignorant evangelicals.

If we don't have a better basis for our laws than “whatever we think is common sense right now,” we're in for a major world of hurt as our society continued to fall apart.
