Missouri Students Walk Out Of Class In Protest of Transgender Locker Rooms
Young Cons ^ | September 1, 2015 11:59 | Andrew Mark Miller

In what is likely to become a common occurrence in the near future, 150 Missouri high school students walked out of class Monday due to a disagreement as to whether or not a transgender student who was born male should be allowed to use the girls’ locker room.

From KMOV 4 St. Louis:

**The walkout lasted for about two hours. Roughly 30-40 people showed support for senior Lila Perry, who wants to use the girls’ locker room during gym class. Perry was born a male but said she has identified as a female since 13.

**“There’s a lot of ignorance, they are claiming that they’re uncomfortable. I don’t believe for a second that they are. I think this is pure and simple bigotry,” said Perry.

**A short distance away, a counter protest was being held by people claiming they have relatives at the high school.

It appears that the students were split as to whether or not they felt comfortable with the arrangement and the ordeal lasted for about 2 hours.

The school apparently offered Perry a gender neutral bathroom, which he rejected claiming, “I am a girl, I shouldn’t be pushed off to another bathroom.”

This is probably the most interesting aspect of the story. The school, which was clearly caught in a tough spot, offered a perfectly reasonable compromise to the situation and Lila Perry refused.

The way things are trending right now, the LGBT community doesn’t really care whether or not parents are comfortable with their teenage children being forced to share bathrooms and locker rooms with children of the opposite sex.

Perry even went so far as to say that he doesn’t believe the situation bothered anyone, opponents of the move were just bigots.

This represents the false liberal narrative that has been successfully used to demonize anyone who doesn’t agree with absolutely everything the LGBT community is asking for.

A parent who does not want their child, who they still have full legal control of, changing in the same locker room as a child with the genitalia of the opposite sex is not a bigot. Automatically labeling them as one does nothing to further the conversation.

Perry dropped out of the gym class but will keep using the girls’ restroom.

It’s hard not to be concerned by the degree to which the PC police have taken over society. This serves as yet another example of the supreme intolerance of the left. “My way or the highway”.

There is room for different opinions in this world, but it is the parent’s decision what their children are exposed to when they send them off to public school, not the media’s. Period.

Lets cater to mental illness some more.

If he still has a ding dong he shouldn’t be in the girl’s bathroom either.

For all the danger in this world today, the big burgeoning issues for American college KIDS are the demands of sexual deviants. God how I’m just overflowing with respect and admiration for those lilliputian idiots.

I wonder if Perry will be subject to some impromptu locker room surgery and won’t be able to figure out why it happened?

A couple of (real) girls with a box cutter and a blowtorch? Cool!

(Is the < /sarc > tag really needed?)

I'm bigoted against crazy people too. I hope he gets some real medical care before he commits suicide like so many psychotics with ‘trans-gender’ syndrome.

Maybe the solution is a picture of each genitilia on the locker room doors. If it don’t match, it gets the boot.

Americans are cowards and the Court’s are advocates for any and all decadence. It won’t be long before swinging Johnson’s are constitutional protected in girls locker rooms.

Looks like a jock wearing a wig as a gag like they used to do back when I was in High School.

“There’s a lot of ignorance”

This is very simple, if you have male plumbing you go the BOYS room, if you have female plumbing you go to the GIRLS room. “Ignorance” is not knowing the difference, this is either, and or, idiocy or deliberately obstinate and evil.

Simple solution : change the sign on the locker room doors ... Call one the "Penis Locker Room" and the other the "Vagina Locker Room". If the student is too stupid to properly comprehend their correct placement; they get held back a year to retake human physiology class. Take the gender identity out of it for them -- because some are so easily confused by that -- and break it down to simple anatomy. You heard it here on FR first.

Most of the students at Monday’s protest were opposed to accommodations for her. A smaller group gathered in support.

Buried at the end of the 5th paragraph in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch - the implication is that they walked out in protest of some sicko being denied access to the girl's locker room. The reality is that they have no desire for the sicko to be permitted there, or even granted any special privileges. Good on the students - somehow they broke free of the brainwashing that usually happens in public school and took a stand on the side of sanity for once.

The issue from two points of view:

A single mentally ill student can't decide which gender he is. He wants to be a girl, dress like a girl and be given all of the privileges of a girl.

The rest of the students do not want this freak in the girl's facilities. They realize he genetically a boy and was officially listed as a boy on his birth certificate.

The libs solution, with the full weight of the federal legal system, is that all of the people opposing this deranged cross dresser are wrong and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Unfortunately, no, it is not a TV comedy.

It’s hard not to be concerned by the degree to which the PC police have taken over society.

As with the Trump phenomenon or Dr. Carson or Cruz....all three are NON-politically correct....""their child....changing in the same locker room as a child with the genitalia of the opposite sex is not a bigot."

Who do the school boards answer to? Who are our state Secretary s of Education answering to? Just a few of Communist goals for free America:
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

Where are the parents who would shut this down?! When good people stand up and demand obvious improprieties in their children's schools or on campus...be shut down, thrown out, or put behind bars what ever the case may warrant, that is when good will replace the bad. Parents, follow your student and take action!
