The issues have always been, and remain: (1) calling things by their right name; and (2) personal privacy and sexual modesty. A "trans girl" is NOT a girl. He is still a boy. His psychological issues do not override the reality of his physical gender.
Our position is simply that boys and girls have privacy rights and that we should respect those rights. The public schools should not force boys and girls to shower and dress together. Period. And we must stand firm on the language. A "trans girl" is NOT a girl. He is a boy who wants to identify with the girls. He is still a boy. Trying to call him a girl is simply a lie.
Instead of talking endlessly about perverts and predators, we should say we can sympathize with people who have serious psychological confusions about their gender. We should treat everyone with dignity and respect. We support counseling and treatment to help people with this mental illness straighten out, as most of them eventually do. (It is reported that upwards of 90 percent of young people who go through such a phase grow out of it, which suggests treatment is the solution.) And we can agree on reasonable accommodations to provide trans people with privacy. But boys do not belong in girls' bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers, or on girls' athletic teams.
I dabble on several discussion boards in addition to FR. In my admittedly limited personal experience, not once has one of the gender-bender activists risen to defend showering together. They prefer to talk about bathrooms and say that all we need to do is put doors on the stalls. They go completely silent on showers, mostly silent on dressing rooms, and only very rarely engage on the question of athletic participation. "Perverts invading the bathrooms" is not the winning way to frame the issue. "High school boys and girls shouldn't be showering together" is a winner. "Boys shouldn't be playing on girls' sports teams" is a winner. A little message discipline is important.
I don't imagine Obama will ever be asked if Sasha and Malia shower with boys, and whether Obama would approve of this. He should be. If we had an honest press corps, he would be.
Lead by example Obama. Good one.
Another reason for home schooling or private schools. Two things the sodomite Democrats hate.
“Yes, this must be resisted, but we must not fall into the trap. Obama and the sexual revolutionaries are counting on opponents to howl about perverts in the bathrooms. In response, they will trot out a confused, mild-mannered 14 year old, and attack opponents as being driven by fear, hateful, mean-spirited, homophobic, etc. The entire phalanx of left media and interest groups will rally to this battle.”
