(CNN) -- A transgender first-grader who was born a boy but identifies as a girl has won the right to use the girls' restroom at her Colorado school.
The Colorado Rights Division ruled in favor of Coy Mathis in her fight against the Fountain-Fort Carson School District.
Coy's parents had taken her case to the commission after the district said she could no longer use the girls' bathroom at Eagleside Elementary. In issuing its decision, the state's rights division said keeping the ban in place "creates an environment that is objectively and subjectively hostile, intimidating or offensive."
The Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund praised the ruling that was filled under Colorado's Anti-Discrimination Act. Michael Silverman, the group's executive director, called the ruling "a high-water mark for transgender rights."
This is the first of it's kind ruling in the country regarding the rights of transgender students. No court, no tribunal has ever said what the Colorado Division of Civil Rights has said today which is that trangendered students must be treated equally. They specifically referenced the outmoded concept of separate but equal and told us that separate but equal is very rarely equal and it is certainly not equal in Coy's case.

well, that’s what I thought, but how then do you explain that 2 of the 3 who were conceived and born together with this Coy are ‘normal’ and treated by these same parents as ‘normal?’ There ARE those rare instances where fertilization goes really wrong and, for all we know, this could be one of those.
Unfortunately the whole homosexual/transy issue has become clouded as it’s been pushed as a political issue. There ARE people who are naturally homosexual. I buy into the 2%. Then there are those who due to one circumstance or another are recruited into the homosexual lifestyle. That’s how they drive the numbers to 10%.
I feel horrible for the kid. At 6 years old s/he’s hopelessly screwed up for life, whether it was a fluke of nature or misdirection by his/her parents.
They aren’t quite normal (they were fraternal twins). She used an unlicensed fertilization drug from Mexico. One of the triplets, a girl, got RSV, the mother insisted on treating her with alternative therapy, and she ended up severely retarded, with the brain of a 2-month-old. The mother went on national TV to raise funds for a wheelchair for her poor sick girl.
There are several proposed theories here, one that she simply did this to the boy to get back into the news, one that she did this subconsciously to replace the daughter she essentially destroyed.
nothing new!!
In the late 50s I did a remodel on a grammer schol for married students kids at UCLA.
The single restroom was all sex with no partitions, just toilets lined up against the wall.
It was not only for the kids but the teachers and us as construction workers.
ok, so I guess this is the parents. Where is CPS when you need them (and I despise CPS!)
I’m afraid to ask: how did the little girl get RSV? Respiratory ailments aren’t that rare in multiples but this sounds drastic (and heartbreaking - again, for the child regardless of the cause).
If I were to buy into either of the theories you enumerated, it’d be the subconscious effort to replace the ‘lost’ daughter. At least to some extent most of us could relate to that rather than seeking publicity, but who knows?
CPS would likely be too preoccupied harrassing home schoolers anyway. How dare those parents shield their children from important social engineering projects. :-/
Will he squat when he takes a leak?
Are you suggesting you’d instruct your child to identify herself as an adult teacher? That seems to be a fair compromise if the boy student is permitted to pretend he is a female student.
Not surprised that Fountain-Fort Carson School District is on the correct side of this one. My niece, her husband and three kids live about 2 blocks from the school. Visited there a couple times, and that neighborhood is largely comprised of soldiers stationed at Fort Carson, recent Army retirees and other people who know that men are men, women are women, and none of this crossover BS for them.
Quite the orderly part of town, especially after some of the newer residents had a clandestine “meet and greet” with some of the lesser lights who lived in the outlying areas.
I’m glad to hear that this child’s abusers have upped sticks and are moving to a more “tolerant” part of the state. Too bad Colorado Springs area can’t secede from the rest of the state, it seems so different from the rest of the vermin that want a Caliph-phony-a in the Rockies.
I’m with you Billy, just know I realized I’m a girl and a model. I want to keep my junk though, that’s cool right? Course it is. Extremely butch lesbian right here!
It’s hard to joke around with this subject matter. HIS parents should be thrown in prison, they have a bunch of kids all with weird colored hair, you would think obviously wackjob progressives like this would believe in population control.
Whoever wrote this article using female pronouns should be fired. Little boys don’t have the capacity to “identify as female”. These sick parents may have helped plant this idea in his head, maybe he picked up a barbie one day and they told him “oh you should be a girl!! yay!”. In all likelihood he’ll grow out of this nonsense and look back at this with great embarrassment.
Whatever the hell the “Colorado Rights Division” is probably needs to be abolished.
Sick sick garbage.
“extra rectum”? Are there donation clinics for those?
The first grader did no such thing - the people around him with a sick agenda did.
The people who pushed this thing through the legal system should be arrested for child abuse.
According to one story, all the kids got it, and it was easily treatable, except that she didn’t get normal treatment, she did the “alternate medicine” thing, just as she did the home birth thing.
Definitely sad.
And it used to be that society would protect children from this kind of manipulation, but now that being transgender is considered normal, there is no protection, and there is no help this boy will be able to get. If he ever tries to get himself “fixed”, he will be attacked and ostracized. In California no licensed therapist would be ALLOWED to help him decide to be a guy, just to help him cope with thinking he is a girl.
Dude if your daughter went to that school just pull her out before something happened! Don’t wait for something to happen to her and file a lawsuit. Protect her from harms way. It is not worth the money you would win.
they wanted a girl so they made one
enough to make anyone vomit. I’m libertarian enough that adults fall into one category and if they choose certain lifestyles, it’s their business so long as they keep it out of others’ lives. Kids are a whole other category and parents, especially, have a very serious duty and responsibility to those kids, to put them first, above anything the parents may want.
Impy and BillyBoy, you should move to California, where not only could you use the girls’ locker room, but you could stare at them and even touch them while they change clothes and no one can say boo, so long as you claim that you “identify as a female.” http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/13736/
Well, it sure sounds like this “young lady” is a “lesbian” like Bill and I. Don’t laugh, there are gay transgendered people, that’s not just a*s-backwards nonsense! Post op transgendered Mixed Martial Arts fighter Fallon Fox. who is allowed by the state of Florida to beat up real women, is a “lesbian”. Fallon is Mr. Garrison from South Park! And Warren Beatty’s daughter is a “gay transman” who writes love poems about men.
Sounds like there is probably a “sexual offense” charge in this “young lady’s” future.
Fallon Fox’s dad put “her” in gay-conversion, meant for gay men who like men, waste of time since Fallon already liked girls so much he wanted to be one!
It’s absolutely shameful that the mainstream psychiatric community has decided this is “normal”, these people will never get help.
many libertopians do not put children into a special category
