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.

This is one type of in-your-face behavior that deserves a good old fashioned bullying.

And the idiocy of the transgender accommodation - IT can claim to be a lesbian, AKA, I’m a girl but still attracted TO girls.

Good for them! I pray that kids and families all over the nation will do the same thing to fight this abomination. Sadly, I do not think that the public school system will concede. Therefore homeschool may be the only answer (outside of private school).

it is not a TV comedy

Instead, it is a tragedy, and it will end in the destruction of this country unless it is stopped very soon.

Homeschooling.

You CAN do it. Virtual curriculums and co-ops exist for grades K through 12.

I have a sister that is transgendered meaning she identifies as a male with the rest of society. I am not going to argue whether its morally right or wrong. as far as I am concerned it is a mental health issue. Because of the politics of gender identity we have the LGB community trying to push militant standards on society. as some one that has experienced it. having some one that you consider to of the opposite sex try and disrobe to change n front of you is very disconcerting. I remember the first and only time my transgendered sister did it to me. it was about seven months after she came out and told the family and started to live her life as if she were a man. one of my brothers was getting married and we all went into different rooms to change into tux for us guys and dresses for the girls. I was totally caught off guard when my sister fallowed the men of the wedding party into the make changing room. My sister at this point in her life had not even started taking make hormones. in every sense of the word she still looked like a girl still had breasts and everything.. This is my sister and despite everything I love her dearly. as uncomfortable as I am with all this I will put up with it.... The situation with public accommodations in schools is totally different. children in school are in a situation of forced association. the idea of forcing young children to deal with transgendered issues by having them in the same locker room or restroom is not right. unfortunately for the transgendered youth when he decided to no longer to identify with the gender of his birth he set him self up so that both bathrooms are improper for him or her. The school was totally reasonable in providing alternative for the kid, The problem the kid has where he identity's as a girl most of those girls don't see it that way and now even as a male a good percentage of the boys don't see him as a guy also.

From what I can tell I have been a lesbian my whole (male) life.

Some reporter asked Bruce Jenner (I refuse to use his female name while he has a Johnson) about whether he is gay or what. Think about it — if as a male (and eventually female) he was attracted to men he was gay. If as a female he is attracted to women he is lesbian. It is impossible for a “transgendered” person to be straight.

Sorry, dude. Whack your weenie off then we'll talk. Until then you're just a transvestite.

I watched a GREAT analysis on one of the news shows about this: “Trangendrism” (aka “I identify with...”) is indeed a mental illness which is called “classification disorder.” The best example is bulimia/anorexia. The brain incorrectly classifies the person as overweight when the opposite is true.

Classifications disorders should be treated, not coddled.

But when the aberration of homosexuality was removed as a mental disorder, so were its cohorts, including trangenderism, pedophilia, pederasty and other abnormalities.

I think the revolution is beginning. I just hope that the students in missouri and the county clerk in Kentucky have the guts to follow through. They are going to be threatened by the full weight of the US guvmint for their beliefs.

If they did this to me as a teen, I`d piss at the nearest gas station and they could kiss my @ss if I were late to class, either that or in the teacher`s bathroom.

That will happen.

A coach will push to make it happen, and soon.

Honestly, part of me finds it kind of funny. If girls can try out for football, a bunch of boys on the girls basketball team should be ok.

Perry was born a male but said she has identified as a female since 13

Factually incorrect statement.
