Insane parents are upset CO school won't recognize their boy as a girl

[Texashiker]

So you never gave two kids of opposite sexes a bath together, eh?

The kid is 6. No one has any idea what she'll want to be/how she will identify at 7, much less when puberty becomes a factor.

So it would be ok for a teacher to observe the student while he is in the girls bathroom?

That is what you are saying, as long as an adult is around then its ok?

 

[waggy]

I think we are missing something else. from the article "Coy was born with male sex organs but has identified as female since she could express herself, her mother said" at what age was that? 18 months? 2 years old?

so at 2 the child expressed it wanted to wear dresses and be a girl? and the parents said it was ok?

also all ID says that coy is a female. how is this going to effect him if/when he decides he likes to bone girls? all school reports, id's etc are going to be marked female.

this kid is fucked in life either way.

Exactly so why would you teach the child that he's something he's not. This is a tough age for kids learning about what they are and how they fit in society. A parent should teach them honestly rather than entertaining a fantasy.

If an adult wishes to carry this fantasy out on themselves so be it. But doing it to a child is as wrong as letting the child go to school every day dressed as a monkey and urinating on trees. Just bad parenting. 13 I could see entertaining the conversation... At 6 it is a straightening out...

Coy could use the boys' bathroom, gender-neutral faculty bathrooms or the nurse's bathroom, but not the girls' facilities.

Goddamnit - they gave the child options other than just the boys bathroom. This stupid shit is why school admins come up with crazy rules. They make reasonable accommodations and they still get sued.

I don't have an opinion on this particular matter, but it's nice to see all the internet psychologists chiming in.

 

[Exterous]

and what do you do if he wan'ts to continue using the girls restroom. What if he wants to use the girls locker room too?

seems to me you start him early in the nurse or gender free restroom.


are the parents going to sue for him to have the right to change in the girls locker room? to shower with them?

What about the parents who will sue when they find out their girls are forced to be in the same restroom as a boy as they were given no other options. Or (potentially) shower and change with a boy?

I wonder how quick liberals would be to cry about a "war on women" if Republicans proposed desegregating bathrooms and changing rooms completely eliminating the problem.

We know every little about the parents.

Does the dad cross dress?

Did the mother want a daughter instead of a son? Were her frustrations of not getting a daughter reflected upon the child?

 

[classy]

Disgusting, totally disgusting.

The child is in first grade, I can't believe these parents.

Why do you only ask questions rather than just state your opinion/argument?

 

[Nintendesert]

The kid has the right chromosomes and genitalia to say he's a boy with a mental problem. He needs counseling.

 

[Texashiker]

Why do you only ask questions rather than just state your opinion/argument?

I have already stated my opinion, boys should use the boys bathroom.

 

[Incorruptible]

The kid is in the first grade and the parents really need some common sense instilled into them

Indeed. The picture is far from complete but they love to rush headlong to judgements.
Who knows if these parents have taken their child to several psychologists and had all sorts of troubles, and the entire gender question originated with the doctors?
I don't know. I do know that teens kill themselves for many reasons.

Imagine instead that the 6 year old boy said he was "transpecies" and thought he was a horse. And demanded to wear saddles and urinate outside...

Actually, "real" socialists did just that.
They also empowered women.

If you are a worker, you are a worker, and your sex is of no relevance. Your gender even less.

 

[JTsyo]

I don't know how transgender works before puberty. With the issue, I'm with the school. The kid can use a unisex bathroom or the nurse's like suggested.

Being a triplet, I wonder how much of it was the attention he gets for being different from his brothers.

What if he wanted to marry a horse and two pigs?

I'm gonna raise my children to believe they're turnips. I'll call anyone who disagrees with me a bigot.

Transgender before puberty can be a thing because gender roles are assigned almost immediately. Clothes, toys, even the colors of the kid's blanket. There is a lot of gender assignment going on even before kids are able to articulate their thoughts. And obviously some kids defy the assigned roles.

It seems arbitrary that we draw a line at the bathroom for acceptance.

No one will give a shit. Until you let them use the "wrong" bathroom... apparently.

So should we start referring to biological women who are interested in wearing pants-suits and having a career as men? :hmm:

This kid wants to be identified as a girl. Do the women you are talking about want to be referred to as men? If they do, then I can respect their wishes as it impacts me not at all.

that's bullshit.

kids will play with whatever. i know a few boys that like pink until they start to be told its a "girls" color. Same with toys.
