Re: Transgender Triplet banned from 1st grade Restroom
This is so well said!
Once again, we are indeed talking about a little girl, here. Jdeere, you are obviously so penetrated (no pun... lol) with your fantasy of "dick girls" that as soon as you fall on the topic of transsexuality, you think about sex, and in the most caricatural way possible. It's completely ridiculous.
This is the reason why I'm so agaced at the optic some members are entertaining, here on HA. There is nothing wrong with fantasies. But the very first rule of sexual sanity is to be able to make a difference between what belongs to fantasy and what belongs to reality, what's about driven phantasm and what's about real people.

Re: Transgender Triplet banned from 1st grade Restroom
When I was in first and second grade (1959 to 1961) I was in an older school building that had one boys room and one girls room for grades one through five. At that time, the "school officials" might have been politically correct in their actions, but not today. It seems to me that any modern school board (or "school officials") should have the common sense to realize that little kids that deal sensibly with this issue will generally grow up to be older kids and then adults that still deal with this issue sensibly. That is, unless they are untaught that sensibility. The "school officials" need to go back to school to unlearn their bullying ways, and need to quit teaching their small minded false morality. (Sorry-- enough soap boxing)

Re: Transgender Triplet banned from 1st grade Restroom
So this isn't specifically about the girl that this thread was first started about, but Nicole Maines, a transgender girl from Maine just won her court case against her school district there. Hopefully this can set a legal precedent to be followed elsewhere. It's nice to know that there are still some enightened, progressive folks in some parts of the country.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — School officials violated state anti-discrimination law when they would not allow a transgender fifth-grader to use the girls' bathroom, according to a ruling by the highest court in Maine that's believed to be the first of its kind.
The family of student Nicole Maines and the Maine Human Rights Commission sued in 2009 after school officials required her to use a staff, not student, restroom.
"This is a momentous decision that marks a huge breakthrough for transgender young people," said Jennifer Levi, director of the Boston-based Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders' Transgender Rights Project after the Maine Supreme Judicial Court's ruling on Thursday.
The court concluded that the Orono school district's actions violated the Maine Human Rights Act, which bans discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, overturning a lower court's ruling that the district acted within its discretion.
The ruling is the first time a state high court concluded that a transgender person should use the bathroom of the gender with which they identify, according to GLAD. Federal courts haven't taken up the issue.
Students at the southern Maine high school Nicole now attends stood up and cheered when news of the ruling was announced, said her father, Wayne Maines.
School administrators across the country are grappling with the issue.
Colorado officials said last year that a suburban Colorado Springs school district discriminated against a 6-year-old transgender girl by preventing her from using the girls' bathroom.
In California, there's an effort afoot to try to repeal a law that allows public school students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond with their expressed genders.
In the Maine case, Nicole Maines was using the girls' bathroom in her elementary school until the grandfather of a fifth-grade boy complained to administrators. The Orono school district determined that she should use a staff bathroom, but her parents said that amounted to discrimination.
Nicole is a biological male who identified as a girl beginning at age 2.
Nicole, who's now 16, said after arguments before the high court last summer that she hoped the justices understood the importance of going to school, getting an education and making friends without having to be "bullied" by other students — or school administrators.
Nicole's father said all he had ever wanted was for his daughter to be treated just like her classmates. He said he was overcome with emotion when he learned of the decision.
"It sends a message to my kids that you can believe in the system and that it can work," Wayne Maines said. "I'm just going to hug my kids and enjoy the moment, and do some healing."
Melissa Hewey, lawyer for the school district, said the ruling provided clarity not just to Orono, but to schools around the state.
"The court has now clarified what has been a difficult issue and is more and more common in schools, and the Orono School Department is going to do what it needs to do to comply with the law," she said.
In the 5-1 ruling, the court had to reconcile two separate state laws, one requiring separate bathrooms based on gender and the other prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.
In this case, in which the child had a formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria, "it has been clearly established that a student's psychological well-being and educational success depend upon being permitted to use the communal bathroom consistent with her gender identity," Justice Warren Silver wrote.
The Supreme Judicial Court pointed out that its ruling was based on the circumstances of the case in which there was ample documentation of the student's gender identity. "Our opinion must not be read to require schools to permit students casual access to any bathroom of their choice," he wrote.
