Education Secretary Betsy DeVos watched a transgender girl eat apple sauce and draw and listened to another students emotional story of feeling marginalized at school, as activists pressed DeVos to make good on her promise to protect all students.
Parents and activists who met with DeVos on Wednesday said they thought she was moved by their stories, but they still left with little hope that she would be a strong advocate for transgender children. [ ]
Attending the meeting were Ellie Ford, a 5-year-old transgender girl, and high school student Grace Dolan-Sandrino, who told DeVos the middle school she attended did not let her use the girls bathroom as the Obama guidance was not in place then.

The guy on the bottom is the reason we stopped watching a furry documentary. We started watching it to make fun of and this guy was so creepy, I had to turn it off.
Yeah, I felt marginalized at my school, on occasion. So did the other hundred-odd kids in my class.
Still happens, from time to time, now that I'm an adult.
It's called "Life". Normal people, or 99% of the population, deals with it just fine, without requiring treatment as a special snowflake.
“Transgendered girl” means a boy.
The girl is not far enough over on the hot-crazy matrix to qualify, but at least she is entertaining.
God made them male and female.
Lately I have wondered if the reason why that is, is because our gender continues on into eternity. That though marriage as we know it is not there anymore, that some kind of intimacy with one another is not only possible there, it is to be celebrated as can not be in this present world. God did make sexual pleasure after all, and He called it good. No reason why it won't go on just like eating food will be there also.
Claiming to be another gender than what He has provided, or homosexuality or bisexuality, is a grave violation of that eternal identity. Maybe that's one of the reasons why God condemns it.
(Just thinking out loud. I'm not the greatest of theologians.)
Same right everyone else has...is there some reason they should have more?
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Homeschool them.
1. THAT is for sure!
2. They don't need medical or psychological help. They need the good Lord.
My 2 cents.
Lol. MEGA-gross!
They should be put to sleep.
Mental health issues need treatment
Sure they do and they are NOT always treatable and/or curable. Hating one's DNA seems to ME to go way, way beyond the pale.
I doubt if there is a cure for some poor soul who hates his birth DNA so much that he decides to be female.
ANY doctor will tell him/her that s/he will AGE like the baby s/he was born.
DNA does trump everything. :o) Sorry, I couldn't resist. Resistance is fewwwwTILE.
Life can be ruff - especially if your body is not a purrrfect match to your identity.
Hopkins has had very good results treating transgender people
I’m so freaking sick of this transgender nonsense.
I feel that most of the people who claim it do it only to throw a wrench in the works of traditional society.
The sickos who claim it need to have some skin in the game, no pun intended. I don’t know how it can happen, but if someone is going to claim to be “trans”, then they need to have more proof than the fact they “identify” as another gender and have taken a few hormone shots and started wearing dresses. They should have to show proof of the full meal deal, point of no return type stuff. If you’re a man who wants to be a woman, show your commitment to the cause and have the exterior plumbing sawed off and get on with it. Otherwise, stfu.
It’s funny to me that wackos on the left, who these people usually are, claim to be the party of science, except when it comes to genetics/dna, and to the unborn.
“You are free to Think you are anything that you like- but you are not free to force everyone else to ignore scientific facts and biology”
Oh how I wish someone would say that out loud to these people.
Bump!
Realated article: American College of Pediatricians doubles down on common sense: Don't Encourage Transgender Delusion
Actually someone just did- a 16 yuear old no less:
School administrators dont have much tolerance for students straight pride posters
a 16 year old student went around his school and posted fliers with the following words of wisdom on them- celebrating STRAIGHT pride
Celebrate being straight at JHS by not annoying the heck out of everyone about your sexual orientation! Its easy! Just come to the JHS, then you go about your day without telling everyone about how different and special you are!
brought to you by all the students that are sick of hearing about your LGBT pride,
Nobody cares about what you think you are. If you want equality, stop shoving your ideas down our throats! We have nothing against your sexual orientation. We just dont care!

I notice these cr-p stories never include the fact that trannies are demanding to use the locker rooms of the opposite sex.
