In what is likely to become a common occurrence in the near future, 150 Missouri high school students walked out of class Monday due to a disagreement as to whether or not a transgender student who was born male should be allowed to use the girls’ locker room.
From KMOV 4 St. Louis:
**The walkout lasted for about two hours. Roughly 30-40 people showed support for senior Lila Perry, who wants to use the girls’ locker room during gym class. Perry was born a male but said she has identified as a female since 13.
**“There’s a lot of ignorance, they are claiming that they’re uncomfortable. I don’t believe for a second that they are. I think this is pure and simple bigotry,” said Perry.
**A short distance away, a counter protest was being held by people claiming they have relatives at the high school.
It appears that the students were split as to whether or not they felt comfortable with the arrangement and the ordeal lasted for about 2 hours.
The school apparently offered Perry a gender neutral bathroom, which he rejected claiming, “I am a girl, I shouldn’t be pushed off to another bathroom.”
This is probably the most interesting aspect of the story. The school, which was clearly caught in a tough spot, offered a perfectly reasonable compromise to the situation and Lila Perry refused.
The way things are trending right now, the LGBT community doesn’t really care whether or not parents are comfortable with their teenage children being forced to share bathrooms and locker rooms with children of the opposite sex.
Perry even went so far as to say that he doesn’t believe the situation bothered anyone, opponents of the move were just bigots.
This represents the false liberal narrative that has been successfully used to demonize anyone who doesn’t agree with absolutely everything the LGBT community is asking for.
A parent who does not want their child, who they still have full legal control of, changing in the same locker room as a child with the genitalia of the opposite sex is not a bigot. Automatically labeling them as one does nothing to further the conversation.
Perry dropped out of the gym class but will keep using the girls’ restroom.
It’s hard not to be concerned by the degree to which the PC police have taken over society. This serves as yet another example of the supreme intolerance of the left. “My way or the highway”.
There is room for different opinions in this world, but it is the parent’s decision what their children are exposed to when they send them off to public school, not the media’s. Period.
So that is what Krispin Glover is up to.
This is one type of in-your-face behavior that deserves a good old fashioned bullying.
And the idiocy of the transgender accommodation - IT can claim to be a lesbian, AKA, I’m a girl but still attracted TO girls.
Girls, kick the tranny between the legs; that’ll remind him what God made him.
Good for them! I pray that kids and families all over the nation will do the same thing to fight this abomination. Sadly, I do not think that the public school system will concede. Therefore homeschool may be the only answer (outside of private school).
Instead, it is a tragedy, and it will end in the destruction of this country unless it is stopped very soon.
Homeschooling.
You CAN do it. Virtual curriculums and co-ops exist for grades K through 12.

STUDENTS COULD AND SHOULD PRACTICE A "BLUE FLU" TYPE OF PROTEST
I'LL LEARN MORE TOMORROW, BUT I JUST HEARD THERE IS A 200 (APPROX) DECREASE IN STUDENT BODY THIS YEAR BASED SIOLELY ON LAST YEAR'S GSA PRESENCE AND PROTEST
>>And the idiocy of the transgender accommodation - IT can claim to be a lesbian, AKA, I’m a girl but still attracted TO girls<<
From what I can tell I have been a lesbian my whole (male) life.
Some reporter asked Bruce Jenner (I refuse to use his female name while he has a Johnson) about whether he is gay or what. Think about it — if as a male (and eventually female) he was attracted to men he was gay. If as a female he is attracted to women he is lesbian. It is impossible for a “transgendered” person to be straight.
open the locker room door, after HIS physical equipment has been rendered feminine
Sorry, dude. Whack your weenie off then we'll talk. Until then you're just a transvestite.
>>I have a sister that is transgendered meaning she identifies as a male with the rest of society. I am not going to argue whether its morally right or wrong. as far as I am concerned it is a mental health issue. <<
I watched a GREAT analysis on one of the news shows about this: “Trangendrism” (aka “I identify with...”) is indeed a mental illness which is called “classification disorder.” The best example is bulimia/anorexia. The brain incorrectly classifies the person as overweight when the opposite is true.
Classifications disorders should be treated, not coddled.
But when the aberration of homosexuality was removed as a mental disorder, so were its cohorts, including trangenderism, pedophilia, pederasty and other abnormalities.
I think the revolution is beginning. I just hope that the students in missouri and the county clerk in Kentucky have the guts to follow through. They are going to be threatened by the full weight of the US guvmint for their beliefs.
VERY SICK BOB, VERY SICK
If they did this to me as a teen, I`d piss at the nearest gas station and they could kiss my @ss if I were late to class, either that or in the teacher`s bathroom.
Or a leader of the GOP.
That will happen.
A coach will push to make it happen, and soon.
Honestly, part of me finds it kind of funny. If girls can try out for football, a bunch of boys on the girls basketball team should be ok.
Perry is a bigot and a sexist.
Perry was born a male but said she has identified as a female since 13
Factually incorrect statement.
Perry IS a male but said HE identified as a female since 13.
