Yes.
Two things need to be present that do not seem to be present:
1) A professional diagnosis of gender dysphoria and a letter from a licensed psychiatrist.
2) The kid doesn't appear to be PRESENTING as female.
Both of those should be required before considering referring to the kid as "transgendered". There should be zero consideration of a claim until those two items are present. Heck, I'd even add in there a written plan for HRT and, if of age - a copy of the blood workup showing the kid is actually going through HRT just to show they're serious.
We have had some transgendered people in my workplace before. HR required documentation in quantity and then double-checked the validity of it. I don't see how the schools can require any less.
Exactly.
I would like to see those who are professionally diagnosed with gender dysphoric disorder actually receive treatment, rather than mutilation (no matter how much they may think they want to be mutilated). But that’s just my opinion...
