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.

Wise words.

From the Dr. Seuss book "Horton Hates His Willie", right?

This little nugget was in an earlier Breitbart article-

Student Lila Perry, though, is refusing to use a gender neutral room and insists that he be allowed to use the girl’s facilities

He's already been accommodated, but apparently that wasn't good enough.

I’m sure the progressive staff of Sidwell Friends School will not permit this type of social experimentation.

A person with a penis is a person with a penis, no matter what they think they are.

Correction: A person with a Y chromosome is a person with a Y chromosome, no matter what they think they are. If you cut off the penis of a person with a Y chromosome, you have a physically mutilated person with a Y chromosome. And if you give hormone injections to the same person, you have a mutilated person with a Y chromosome and a severe hormone imbalance.

Latest quote from Jenner: ‘I just want men to treat me like a women.’

Wait until he doesn’t get elected as Prom Queen? I’m sure it will be on the list of his demands.

Schools are STUPID PC enclaves of idiots... People are born XX or XY... That makes them one sex or the other BIOLOGICALLY... I don’t give a damn what gender they “claim”... Biology is the key... XX here and XY there... problem solved... Don’t like it? Homeschool...

A cross dressing fag used the girls’ locker room. As a labeled "teen" we can also assume that he is Negro. "Teen" is a counterproductive choice of terms in that the WaPo surely would not want to bring Race into this. If he is not Negro then WaPo is instilling a racially defamatory false presumption in its story.

I wonder if the teen (who is anatomically a male) who identifies as a girl also identifies as a lesbian?

People have been drawing the needed symbols on bathroom walls for decades. Instead, put them on the door, look in your pants and go to the one that matches. Problem solved!

“He’s already been accommodated, but apparently that wasn’t good enough.”

Same thing with fag marriage. Legal partnerships wasn’t good enough, it had to be marriage. These mentally ill people won’t ever be happy, because they are looking for happiness where it doesn’t exist.

The transgender teen is only angry due to PMS.

“What is to stop me as a male and professing that I’m a lesbian trapped in a man’s body and demanding I have access to the girl’s showers?
What IS stopping you?”

That little thing called sanity.

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

Since every single cell of his body still possess a "Y" chromosome, it will always be biologically a male.

Every cell is packing his "equipment."

Basically, we are now a society that celebrates and honors mental illness and perversity.

Some of these people are mentally ill, some are simply perverted, and some are both. Ditto for our society. Our sick way of “helping” these mentally ill people is to surgically mutilate them while turning them into celebrities.

The government should have special institutions for these freaks. Normal, decent people shouldn’t have to put up with their crap.
