SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, Pa (CBS) Some people never give the signs on the bathrooms a second thought, but thats not the case for transgender students like Evan Petersen, a junior at Springfield Township high school.
I definitely didnt wanna use womens bathroom, and I was scared to use the mens bathroom because I wasnt out at school yet, said Peterson. So I just didnt go to the bathroom during the whole school day.
Its awful its a very bad feeling, said Christine Settino a teacher. Thats the kind of thing that makes you want to do something and make change.
Last week, the Springfield Township School District became one of the first in Pennsylvania to officially adopt a policy allowing transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms of the gender they identify with, not the one on their birth certificates.
We know this isnt without controversy, said Dr. Nancy Hacker, the superintendent. But regardless, we wanted to make a statement that as a school district, this is who we are, this is what we believe, and we will support all our students, no matter who they believe they are.
One critic, the Pennsylvania Family Institute, sent Eyewitness news a statement of its own that reads in part:
In those areas, the only relevant reason we have different facilities is biological sex, not our beliefs, feelings, or attractions.
But others say its a matter of equality.
For the lucky ones of us born as the gender we identify as, we get to be who we truly are, so for some students who dont feel that way, it can ruin their high school experience, said Cate Ryan, student council president.

Who are these transgender people kidding. They’re just plain troublemakers.
They don’t need separate bathrooms, they need mental institutions
That is how it was done in the old days
In Texas, Keller ISD has a “gender fluid” student. I think it’s a girl that sometimes decides it’s a boy. Anyway, it decided one day to use the boys restroom and a boy took a pic, posting it on social media. It made the local news and the little attention whore got what it wanted, attention. The school said they had tried to accommodate the little attention whore by letting it use the private staff restroom. Wasn’t good enough.
The phrase, “ no matter who they believe they are” is just insane.
I would take the principal’s car for a joyride. “I believe I am the owner of this car.”
I could have been all conference if I played on the girls basketball or volleyball team. Shower time would be fun too.
They do it for the attention, nothing more
it really is some sort of mental problem in the long run
Transgenders also have a high suicide rate, the highest of any other group
“”I was scared to use the mens bathroom because I wasnt out at school yet””
What in the Sam Hill does this mean? He had some equipment different from any other male because of WHO he thinks he is? I guess I need a brush up on anatomy.
Keep this in mind, and this is vital to understand the zeitgeist, gender and sexuality is considered separate. A male could identify as female and be pansexual. That same boy would have been a heterosexual boy in the classic sex/gender dynamic.
So yea, we’ll see eventually straight boysusing this to perv out in women’s locker rooms. Only societal disapproval will reign it in but there’s always guys who don’t care if folks think they’re creeps.
If Connecticut passes this nonsense, I am going to take my kids out of their schools. I am already on the fence anyway.
I believe Evan is a biological girl so he doesn’t have the same equipment as the other guys.
“I would take the principals car for a joyride: I believe I am the owner of this car.’
LOL!

A clear sign of mental illness; severe neurosis bordering on psychotic paranoia due to inability to accept the reality of his biological sex, stemming from chronic delusions that he is actually the opposite sex.
See? Even I could make a coherent diagnosis.
Wouldn’t indecent exposure laws apply in the locker room, when underage girls are present?
Pandering to the insane is not good policy! The world has gone nuts, and the government is run by imbeciles.
What if they're dopers, rapists or murderers? How about if they start sporting Nazi tattoos?
Might wanna be careful with that statement lady.
Exactly what I noticed about two dykes at Taco Bells a few weeks ago. They way they looked and acted and the way they kept touching each other and loud use of "Babe" and "Honey". Pure attention whores.
The she should take her happy little...self, into the female restroom, sit down and have a pee, just like all the other girls that aren't mentally deficient.
Then, she should present herself to her obviously dumb ass parents and demand that she receive some treatment for her stupid and mentally deficient self.
I have no compassion for these stupid people and I do not believe the condition exists other than in the minds of the dumb asses that choose to believe it does.
