Over 150 students at a Missouri high school walked out of class Monday and staged a two-hour protest to voice their disapproval with a transgender student's request to use the girls' locker room to change for her physical education class.
After dozens of parents showed up to a school board meeting at Hillsboro High School last Thursday to discuss their concerns over a senior transgender student's desire to use the girls' locker room and bathrooms, students and parents took to the school's parking lot on Monday to tell administrators they won't allow girls' privacy rights to be infringed upon to provide special accommodation.
While local news outlets reported that about 30 to 40 students counter protested in favor of granting Lila Perry, a 17-year-old biological male who came out as a transgender last February, permission to use the girls' bathrooms and locker room, most of the students at the rally are opposed to granting Perry the special privilege.
"I find it offensive because Lila has not went [sic] through any procedure to become female, putting on a dress and putting on a wig is not transgender to me," Hillsboro student Sophie Beel told a St. Louis Fox News affiliate.
Even though Perry, who previously identified as gay, publicly announced her transgenderism just last school year, she claims she has identified as female since the age of 13.
Last year, Perry did not take physical education, and therefore did not need to use the girls' locker rooms. When it came to using the restrooms, Perry was told to use the unisex bathroom facilities.
When Perry's desire to use the girls' locker room for PE classes this fall was made known, students and parents fired back with the argument that no biological male should be permitted to use the same locker room as teenage girls, regardless of how they self-identify.
"They should have the ability to do whatever they need to do in the privacy of the bathroom without having a male in there," Derrick Good, a parent of two girls at Hillsboro who is also an attorney, told KFOR. "They have a right to their own bodily privacy, and I've raised my girls, and many of these parents have raised their girls, to protect that privacy. They don't share that with members of the opposite sex."
During Monday's protest, Perry was locked in the principal's officer for safety concerns.
"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," Perry told KMOV. "It wasn't too long ago white people were saying I don't feel comfortable sharing a bathroom with a black person and history repeats itself."
Tammy Sorden, who has a son that attends Hillsboro, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that it's not right to give Perry special treatment "while the girls just have to suck it up."
Following two-hours of protesting, students were told by school administrators to go back inside to finish the remainder of the school day. However, some students on both sides of the protest risked suspension by leaving after the protest ended.
Perry's supporters, which consist of members of the school's gay-straight alliance, claimed they did not feel safe returning to school, while those in opposition to Perry's request left school as a continuation to the protest.
Although Perry has since dropped out of the PE because she was concerned with the lack of supervision in the class, Good drafted a policy and introduced it at last Thursday's school board meeting that would force students to use the restrooms and locker rooms associated with their biological gender or gender-neutral bathrooms.
"I wasn't hurting anyone and I didn't want to feel segregated out," Perry continued. "I didn't want to be in the gender-neutral bathroom. I am girl, I shouldn't be pushed off to another bathroom."
After the student protest, 41-year-old Jeff Childs, who has a niece and nephew attending an elementary school in Hillsboro, protested outside the school with his 21-year-old son. They displayed signs that read "Girls Rights Matter."
"This needs to stop before it goes too far," Childs told the Post-Dispatch. "I'm not trying to be ignorant, but [the transgender student] is bringing it out in public for everybody else to deal with."
Problem solved.
I'd go one bit further... "XX Room" and "XY Room". Just applying what was already covered in Biology 101.
He should be locked up.
I would imagine the girls don’t want him in there looking at him. It’s hard enough for some teen girls to be in that situation with even other girls.
If “he” still has his “kickstand,” he’s still a male!
Hey! This is not how its supposed to go! The girls are supposed to welcome this guy (or whatever) with open arms.
These social change experiments are always tested out in a high school environment. Guess things got a little too real for even teenage girls who are still deeply seated in a government indoctrination center. The big media frenzy lawsuits will have to be put off a year or two.

If you still got your fishing tackle,
ya ain’t going in the “girls” room.
I’m glad the 150 have some sense about them, in all of this stuff.
Simple rationale:
If you have a ‘co’, no matter what else you do, you’re a guy.
If you have a ‘cu’, no matter what else, you’re a girl.
If you were BORN with both, as some in this world are, the only title that fits is the same one used for snails, i.e., hermaphrodite.
Exactly, refuse to live in their delusion.
Even if the kickstand is surgically removed, he’s still male.
I was thinking that exactly this morning -
PWP, PWV.
Why not just label the restrooms “PENIS” and “VAGINA”?
Castration/emasculation doesn’t cause someone not to be male, however.
The point is, putting on or taking off the primary sexual characteristics. ;-)
“his physical education class”
That’s what I say. I don’t care if the whole world is saying “her”, I will recognise reality and call him what he is, a “him”. It’s disgusting that supposedly sane people are playing into these idiots’ insanity by calling them women when they’re men, using incorrect pronouns, etc. It’s as if they think of they just keep saying it and denying reality, it will become true, and barring that, if they can force everyone else into buying into it, they can live in their pretend world and never come out of it. I’d love to know how the left squares this insanity with the “rape culture” they claim all men are suseptble to, because this man who calls himself a girl, still has a pecker. I’d sue the school for oppressing my daughter, the left has created such craziness that there must be a thousand ways to play them against themselves now.
The funniest show on TV is Bruce Jenner’s show. I laugh and laugh and laugh at the insanity of it all. Bruce is getting his makeup on, Bruce is getting his hair done, Bruce has a problem with his remote controlled Helicopter and his buddy that works on it but has not seen Bruce in drag is not returning calls, Bruce is in a bathing suit, Bruce likes women or maybe not, Bruce is having lunch, Bruce has a very nice Porsche, Bruce sees his ex, Bruce sees his kids, etc.
It is FUNNY! The people around this nutcase all act as if he is really female. The other mentally imbalanced guys around him that dress up as women love Bruce. Hell yea! They love his money and his access to private jets, fancy hotels and Bruce is buying the booze and food. What’s not to love?
Jenner is friggin HILARIOUS! It is like watching a never ending car wreck but everyone involved in the car wreck thinks car wrecks are a natural thing.
I have to tell you, I have Jenner’s voice down pat, I can mimic him to a tee. I was in a group of people the other day talking like him day and had them rolling on the floor. Nobody said “stop that” or said I was not being PC, they all laughed because the whole premise that a man is a woman is absurd.
The funniest thing is that Jenner claims to be female now but does not want to have anything to do with guys. The other trannies around him like most trannies are gay as hell and they all want some Anthony Weiner if you know what I mean. So what is Jenner to do? He needs to find a woman that likes men who dress up as women but still have their junk attached. Huh? I guess this means that Jenner is a lesbian because as we all know he is a she. Right? If that is true then all the trannies around him are female too, doesn’t that seem logical? Maybe not because Jenner would not touch any of them because they are actually men. Which means he is too.
I love watching the mentally ill on TV. Jenner, Obama who thinks today he can change the weather, drunk Speaker of the House, Jeb Bush, the list goes on. They have nothing to do with the real America but they don’t have a clue that they don’t.
It is confusing ‘though. I mean, just because a guy doesn’t have a “cu” doesn’t mean he isn’t one!
