Teacher to return after having sex change

EAGLESWOOD TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - To students at Eagleswood Elementary School, she used to be Mr. McBeth. Now, after undergoing a sex change, 71-year-old Lily McBeth is ready to return to teaching as Miss McBeth.

Despite criticism from parents, the school board on Monday stood by its decision to allow McBeth to resume working as a substitute teacher.

After two hours of public debate and a private meeting with McBeth and her lawyer, the board took no action on calls by several parents to bar McBeth from returning to the school where she taught for five years before becoming a woman.

"It was magnificent," McBeth said afterward. "You saw democracy in action."

McBeth, a retired sales executive who was married for 33 years and had three children, underwent gender reassignment surgery last year and re-applied for her job under her new name.

McBeth on Monday told the school board and the crowd that she loves teaching and children, and looks forward to returning to the classroom.

..........

Several parents said children in the school - which consists of kindergarten through sixth grade - were not old enough to understand the concept of changing one's gender.

"I, as a parent, am appalled to have this issue brought into my child's psychology," Steve Bond said.

Vincent Mustacchio predicted "chaos" at the school when the students learned of McBeth's surgery.

Young children will be confused by the conflicting appearance of McBeth, who has a deep voice and masculine features but otherwise looks like a woman, other parents said.

"I will not allow you to put my kids in a petri dish and hope it all turns out fine," said Mark Schnepp, who had taken out an ad in a local newspaper urging parents to turn out for the meeting.

McBeth briefly answered reporters' questions and said she would never talk to children about sexuality at school.

She-he wouldn't even have to say a word, and she-he knows it.

I never cared for his singing, but he is actually quite good as a broadcaster.

If you can show that transexuals home-school less often than normal parents, then you may have a point.

The problem should be fixed, not moved to a new location. Tolerating sexual deviants in any capacity allows them to be so tolerated nearly everywhere, including schools.

Hence they mustn't be tolerated, period. Don't ever say, "I support you, BUT..." or other excuses simply for keeping peace with them. That's precisely how they thrive - on such pity from liberals.

Isn't getting a sex change at 71 similar to putting a spoiler on a rusted-out '77 Pinto??

So she underwent a procedure known as an "adadyctomy"?

Just another reason to home school.

I am thinking that if one parent can't quit work to do it, maybe a grandparent can.
