You claim the kid is being abused yet you call him a "little freak"? WTF is wrong with you, its a 6 year old child. What kind of decent man, hell what kind of man at all, talks like that about a 6 year old child?
I dont give a fuck the little freak needs to be removed and home schooled and the fucktard parents investigated for child abuse.
Hell, I knew kids in high school that would have dressed up as girls just to be able to use the girls bathrooms. What happens when the kid gets older and has to start changing for gym or playing sports. Are the parents going to sue because he isn't allowed to put his jockstrap on in the girls locker room? What happens if during puberty he likes girls and starts popping wood every time they change? The last one could be just as bad for the kid if he likes boys and the same thing happens in the boys locker room but at least he wouldn't be exposing himself to the opposite sex on a daily basis.
The bottom line is that "special needs" does not mean you get anything and everything you want, when you want it, and how you want it. The parents can either learn to compromise or they will do a TON of harm to the poor kid who appears to already have a tough childhood in front of him.
I simply do not see the harm in either how someone chooses their identity nor even in bathroom use. I mean girls bathrooms are all stalls. Why would anyone see this kid's genitals except in some sort of prank/bullying circumstance? If the parents are teaching the kid a reasonable level of self-awareness I don't think the penis is going to be a factor.
I do not have my own children, but I've been directly involved in raising several kids. I've never had issues explaining complex issues to them if they are interested in understanding.
This thread seems like a lot of panic over really nothing more than a conversation with kids to explain something that is outside the norm, but also not harmful to anyone.
Why is this kid's freedom to choose an identity a threat to anyone?
If feminists want to fight gender roles, let them get jobs in logging, mining, welding, construction,,,, you know,,, jobs where people get killed on a semi-regular basis.
As long as its men getting killed, so what.
If women were getting killed on jobs at the same rate as men, there would be a national outcry.
If you had a daughter would you want her going to bathroom with humans who have penises?
If you had a daughter, you would not want a boy in the bathroom with her.
I am not getting the impression that the parents are forcing this kid in any given direction, just encouraging the kid to explore an identity.
From this thread though it seems like a lot of people want to parent other people's kids, and the majority seem to be people who claim to value liberty.
Okay, I'll be perfectly blunt here on my prediction of the future:
(1) Kid's liberal open-minded parents allow him to believe he is a girl
(2) Classmates both male and female taunt and ridicule him all throughout school
(3) Kid's liberal open-minded parents sue the school for allowing the bullying
(4) Classmates continue to taunt and ridicule him
(5) Kid will have a very difficult time building friendships
(6) Kid grows up and one day revisits the school with guns in hand
(7) Liberal open-minded parents blame the NRA for the tragedy
Parents need to be parents.
Please. Feel free to elaborate on why I'd have objections.
I do not believe I should make your arguments for you.
Furthermore, what about when he is older and they use locker rooms where students change clothes and shower?

come back when you get some life experience behind you.
Wanna see 99% of feminists be "cured" of feminism?
Put 50 of them and 50 men on a boat with life rafts to hold 75. Start sinking said boat. Bet a weeks pay that the vast majority of them find a new found belief in the old "women and children first" thing.
Since you seem to be so bold, can you answer my question:
What harm does it do to the child to use gender neutral bathrooms as the school has offered as a compromise?
Furthermore, what about when he is older and they use locker rooms where students change clothes and shower?
Haven't feminists been fighting gender roles for decades? Now we're being told that being a girl DOES in fact mean different behaviors, roles and activities? The same type of people who have been raging against classification are now arguing for classification. "Liberals" are fucking nuts.
How does the kid using a gender neutral bathroom harm him? Hell they even offered to let him use the nurses bathroom which has got to be cleaner than the normal ones and personally I like some privacy when I am dropping a deuce. I would have loved to have been able to use a private bathroom in school.
What about when the kid gets older and has to change in the locker room along with the rest of class for gym or sports? What about showers? How are you going to explain to him that he can use the girls bathroom but has to change and shower in the boys locker room or how do you explain to the girls that they must change and shower with a male?
Perhaps it "shouldn't" affect other children today but in a short while it will. The school is making the right choice for not only themselves but for the child.
Thats a shitty cop-out.
A child can make a logical argument. if you can't refute it then what are you?
come back when you get some life experience behind you.
Would you want a boy going to the same bathroom as your daughter?
Can you simply not explain why it would be a problem for you?
