Hillsboro High School students stage walkout in dispute over transgender student

again the word 'bigotry' is used way too loosely these days.  

if a guy wants to play dress up and prance around like a girl, that's fine. i could care less.   when it impacts others its an issue.   he has a penis and wants to go in the girls restroom. people are too worried about catering to someone who has issues as opposed to all the girls in that school who just want to pee in peace.

2015 for you though.
 
A couple janitors told me that girls' bathrooms are always filthier than the men's bathrooms
 
the girls bathroom was wild at my highschool

girls would write all sorts of hateful messages on the windows causing drama

Staff should just give him his own bathroom to avoid all this mess, if he uses the girls bathroom its gonna be an issue because he still has a physically(took me 4 tries to spell that right) a male, and if he uses the boys bathroom he is going to bullied/punked/pranked/harassed.  Senior high school football players used to hold down and dry hump freshmen in my high school as a joke for like 10 seconds in the locker room and those were straight boys I can't even imagine what they would do to this person.
 
transgenders dont want their own bathroom because they will probably feel like they are still the out cast. Sounds like segregation all over again.

I support the students tho. Gender is a physical trait not something you can choose

This, i had to inspect girls rooms when i was military and they were hands down the nastiest rooms. Dude were dirty but girls were legit nasty.

During my university police days i had go into girls rooms and it was the same.
 
We shouldnt be playing to gender indentification in public schools. You are there to get your education.

I dont give a damn when it comes to my tax dollars that a boy wants to use the girls bathroom. In high school your barely legal to drive, cant buy smokes or legally sign for yourself but we will allow you to decide your gender.
 
So the child has done nothing to actually become a female but wants use the girls room?

See this the...nvm LBGT needs to sit down and talk to that boy.
 
So now we're at the point where guys not being able to go into the girls bathroom is discrimination? Are these people just board or what?
 
This country so concern with being politically correct, that it shot itself in the foot....what's gonna stop this kid from suing for descrimination?...we had to accept, congratulate and glorify Catelyn in a span of a couple of weeks, this kids claim wether true or not, our society has no grounds to stand on and deny him of his request...that would be the epitome of hypocrisy.

That's what I always hear. We had a dorm meeting in college and one of the RA's said a girl took a dump in the sink in the women's bathroom.

unisex bathroom? or is that idea not as forward thinking as transgender acceptance?

So what do you suggest? That these young girls just feel comfortable with this dude in the bathroom with them?

Unisex bathrooms with locked stalls. And yes.

Word. A slippery slope indeed. Plus, how do we know they're telling the truth. See solution above.
 
By this politically correct logic, I can say "I identify w/ women", scream "Yaaaaaasssssss" and should be allowed to enter the ladies room? Why not, sign me up

It's funny how nowadays if you don't agree with something / an idea, you're immediately shamed and attacked.

Its not just the disagreeing that people shame, its the unapologetic ignorance that comes along with the disagreement. A lot of people not only disagree with the idea of transgender people sharing the same spaces as non-GLBT folks, they also choose to write off the idea of transgenderism in general and refuse to even approach the subject beyond "its gross" or "the bible says-" or "i dont want my kid exposed to this and become one" (even though the last example has literally never happened.)

This thread is an excellent example. I used to work with at-risk/homeless youth for a nonprofit (an alarming amount of whom are GLBTQ,) and I worked for my local school district following that. To even have the label "Transgender" placed on you requires counseling, at least to be reconized as such within the school district. It takes hours and days of counseling over the course of months/years for them to determine if someone has what's called gender dysphoria - basically the formal diagnosis of transgenderism.

Yet, many people see the headline and think "oh this kid just wants to see tatas and vajayjays," ignoring the fact that the kid has had to attend hours of counseling to even "earn" the label transgender, much less the ridicule, skepticism, and judgement endured to choose to "come out" as a transgender person.

For the record, I'm pretty indifferent about this story. I think the optimal solution would be to use unisex bathrooms, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't rather people just get over human anatomy in general and stop making such big deals about trivial matters like this. I understand parental concern over having a someone they consider a boy sharing a bathroom with their daughter, but teenage transgender female is not checking for HS girls like that, especially when many of those girls are probably the harshest critics.
