A six-year-old boy in the US state of Colorado has won the right to use the girls toilets at school because he is transsexual.
Meanwhile, in a similar case in Australia, a nine-year-old boy has also won the right to use the girls toilets.
And new laws in California mean transsexual students can choose to join either girls or boys sports teams at school.
In Colorado, the parents of six-year-old Coy Matthis took their sons school to a civil rights panel, claiming it was discrimination to disallow their son from using the bathroom of the gender with which he identifies.
In December 2012 school officials said Coy must use the boys toilets or the staff bathrooms.
The Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund assisted the Matthis case and welcomed the decision.
Executive Director Michael Silverman said the ruling sent out a clear message to schools that transgender students must be treated equally in schools.
In southeast Queensland Australia, a nine-year-old boy has been told by the regions Education department that he can use the girls toilets and join girls sports teams at his primary school.
His mother had planned to lodge a gender identity discrimination complaint after teachers said the child must use a unisex toilet when he came to school dressed as a girl at the start of the year.
Now Education Queensland North Coast regional director Colin Allen-Waters has said the student can use the female toilets and compete in girls sports events.
Politicians in California have passed a controversial Bill which would allow students to access bathrooms and changing rooms of the gender they have chosen.
The legislation, which must now be signed into law by the States Governor Jerry Brown, would also mean transgender students can choose a sports team of the gender with which they identify.
The proposals have come under fire from critics who say students may exploit the new law.
I suspect that little Coy has two mommies.
either those raise this poor boy are homosexuals or complete nuts from the fringes of the left wing
Investigated for child abuse!
He's SIX!
Something's terribly amiss.
Are you 6 years old?
Well, I’m deep into my second childhood so I could easily make the case.
If a female he/she “identifies” as a male marries a male he/she who “identifies” as a female would a male child have a mother who identifies as a father and a father who identifies as a mother? Then if the kid is a he/she is it the son who identifies as a daughter of the mother who identifies as a father. And... they have a female kid who blah blah blah
So when there is a father daughter event at school, who goes?
Government that pushes abortionism, homosexualism, etc, is discriminating against Christians. Hateful, godless communist bastards. Mass Murdering perverted scum.
Sounds like they are suffering from some kind of freaky case of Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy.
I cannot believe that this is getting all kinds of praise and back patting and stroking by the media.
This boy is SIX!
When I was 6, I thought I was Speed Racer. Since Speed wore racing gloves, I wore mine all the time during class.
The teacher said: (boop), it's time to take the gloves off.
NO! I'm Speed Racer.
Yes, (boop) and you can pretend later. Now it's time for our reading lesson. Interestingly BECAUSE I was six, I had forgotten all about it by the next day.
These parents are absolute POS's>
If their boy said he was Superman, would they insist that he wear a cape all day, or that he jump off the school's roof?
After all, he's "superman", and cannot under any circumstances whatsoever be disavowed of such notion.
In fact, such courageous parents, letting their son jump off buildings, because he's "superman".
Men are such pigs. :{)
Puberty will be interesting for Coy.
I dug a little and it seems Mr Mathis does indeed sport a goatee. But I guess that doesn’t prove anything these days.
“I would insist my daughter had a private restroom that a boy couldnt enter.”
I would put my kid in a “private” school run by people who separate the “privates”.
