Finally: Hundreds of girls walk out of HS after a (transgender) dude is allowed to use the women's locker room

Exactly, they're telling dozens of girls to just deal with it instead of ONE transgender person to just deal with it.

POD

Women want equality until it doesn't favor them.

We "conservatards" on lrc have said over and over again that this is exactly what would happen.

Where are the leftists now? Are those 150+ HS girls equally "backward" and "hateful" as us? Or may it be something wrong with yours and this transgender's perception of the real world?

Rojo = Tranny Chaser. He's obsessed.

Isn't it common sense that if you have penis, you should have to a) use the men's bathroom. or b) the gender neutral bathroom that you were offered.

The fact that she self-identifies as a woman has nothing to do with it. It amazes me that someone could think it does. If society is so far advanced, then simply have one bathroom period. Personally, I've always found it weird that we have separate bathrooms at sporting events. It's not like I'm going to see your privates in a stall. But don't have a men's and women' s bathroom and then let people with penises use the women's bathroom.

Whose rights are being violated? By bending over backwards to the transgender person they are trampling on the rights of all of the girls that want to shower with people without penises.

My daughters would have been instructed to be kind and cordial to this poor confused boy, but also to leave the bathroom if he is in there. Dude has a penis.

The girls have my full sympathy.

I agree

Couldn't have said it better myself. The most infuriating part of this entire liberal ideology of "accept everyone for everything they could ever do or think" is that it profoundly infringes upon everyone else's rights at the expense of single individuals!

Why is it that the public majority constantly is having to change and cater to the minority? How about gays, trannies or whatever the heck other things are out there just deal with it and accommodate to the established standards of society.

Shouldn't gays have to use their own bathrooms too?

Serious question - What exact rights of the (hundreds of) girls are being trampled on? "...the rights of all of the girls that want to shower with people without penises.", sounds a bit more like a want rather than a right.

I have the perspective that our communities should be more inclusive, rather than exclusive. I believe this goes along with your idea that we really shouldn't have separate bathrooms at all. I agree wholeheartedly on this point. Admittedly, it would take some time for people in the US to warm up to the idea given our current cultural norms.

On one hand, I cant stand the need for everyone to bend over backward for some he/she/it. I dont understand these people, I think they are just over emotional and looking for creative ways to get attention.

On the other hand, if someone thinks he/she/it is a girl how hard is it to just ignore it? he/she/it just went into a bathroom stall, its not like she pulled out her schlong and terrorized the girls. If you are so upset by this as a student, maybe just a word with the principal is enough. By walking out of the school you give her/him/it all the attention wanted and you end up deep in the forums of a running blog.

Are you unfamiliar with the difference between a bathroom and a locker room? I have never been in a high school locker room where people changed in stalls.

"Why is it that the public majority constantly is having to change and cater to the minority? How about gays, trannies or whatever the heck other things are out there just deal with it and accommodate to the established standards of society."

Well first things first, our entire system of government was literally designed to prevent the tyranny of the majority. And as "established standards of society" are constantly evolving, and often indefensible (this argument was also made to defend everything from slavery to subjugation of women), it is hardly a substantive reason for the continuation of something.

The amount of ignorance on this subject displayed here is staggering. It's one thing to see that from anonymous board posters, but it's embarrassing to watch the site owner put out such blatantly ignorant information.

"The fact that she self-identifies as a woman has nothing to do with it. It amazes me that someone could think it does."

Maybe, just maybe, this issue, which is fast gaining traction and support similar to other issues of minority rights, is a bit more complicated than 'hurr durr penis is literally all that matters to me.'

If it amazes you that other people are able to consider a subject beyond literally the most simplistic approach, maybe you shouldn't wear your ignorance as a badge of honor.

Body dysmorphia is a mental disorder and not something that should be encouraged.

They offered her a gender neutral restroom to change in, which she turned down. In your book, it counts as tyranny to say "we'll take a major step to accommodate you, but please don't bring your penis into the women's locker room"?

Exactly W.H.I.N.E.Y ^ . The school has taken considerable measure to provide the transsexual with their very own special bathroom which they DENIED. How many other students do you think get this type of special consideration? Certainly doesn't sound like big bad government is being a tyrant here.

Yet another case of BS liberalism screaming "I'm an individual and deserve to be treated like a special flower!"

You may call it ignorance. You are entitled to your opinion.

All I know, is I wouldn\'t want this \"girl\" next to my little girl when \"she\" whips it outi n the locker room.

I\'m usually pretty liberal,but there are things girls that age don\'t need to deal with and this would be near the top of the list.

Kids that age are dealing with enough just growing up, they don\'t need to be more uncomfortable just to soothe one persons feelings.
