A transgender teen used the girls’ locker room. Now the community is up in arms.

When Caitlyn Jenner took to television in April to announce she was transgender, messages of support poured in from across the country. She was featured on the cover of Vanity Fair and received an ESPY award for courage.

But even as Jenner starred in a reality TV docu-series about her transition, a deeper question remained.

If Jenner weren’t already a rich celebrity, would she have received the same support? How would other, less famous transgender Americans be treated?

On Monday morning, a small town in Missouri provided an answer.

For two hours, approximately 150 students stood in front of Hillsboro High School to protest a transgender teen’s use of the girls’ facilities.

And for those same two hours, the 17-year-old transgender teen huddled inside her counselor’s office — with the door locked.

Why was it a “difficult task”? Was she having “her” period? /s

the issue of cross-dressing was rightfully seen as ludicrous and funny,

Exactly!

Why was it a “difficult task”?

Well, male or female, I suppose it would be an arduous task to squat on a male stand up urinal.

Not impossible, I'm sure, but certainly arduous, and without a doubt, ludicrous.

(Am I stereotyping?)

“It” is still packing “its” equipment - is technically, biologically still a male

Even with surgery and a loss of it's equipment; DNA test will show - male.

You cannot change your sex. You can pretend; but, you cannot change your sex.

Any way I look at it, this is just sad

Yes, I get that same feeling. Troubled people who are given all the wrong advice.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Seen the pic of him? He looks like a cocky, arrogant boy too. Like he’s doing this to pull one over on everyone. Personally I think that boy’s father ought to slap the stupid off of him. If he has a father that is.

“There are big differences between MASH and today.”

You got that right! On MASH it was funny. This is far from funny. This is sick and stupid.

That school gave this kid his own bathroom! He refused to use it apparently

Ungrateful idiot. I would prefer to use a private bathroom.

She now also tries to avoid using the bathroom at her high school: a difficult task for a teenage girl.

Author, Michael E. Miller - "was most recently a senior writer for Miami New Times. He holds master’s degrees in journalism and Latin American studies from New York University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Chicago."

So much for a college education. Doesn't speak too well of his lower education levels, either.

make the bathrooms xx & xy

That may be a solution since PC culture is saying that gender is a state of mind.

Perhaps he/she/it is just another "bitter Klinger"?

Clever.

I’d like the community to go farther than that. Instead, they should pull their children out of public schools.
