The access to bathrooms for those who identify with a gender other than their sexual organs suggest goes beyond bathroom stalls. In Palatine, IL, District 211, the issue is allowing a transgendered male-to-female (MtF) person unlimited access to the showers and changing facilities in the female locker room. This has been drawn out because the student was not satisfied that a separate area was made available, insisting that this separate location did not allow interaction with others in the locker room. My understanding is another option was made available with lockers and a shower so the student could invite female friends supporting such policies to join in the area. No, still too separate and unequal.

I supposed boys would love to have a FtM person hanging out with them in their locker room, but many teenage females I know really don't enjoy being stark naked in front of each other, much less a stranger with male genitalia.

The Dept. of Education, now installed in the warp and weft of our schools, has threatened to pull the $5 million in funding that district receives. Obviously, with schools being financially stressed, the district does not have the money to construct separate facilities for each of their 12,000 students. So, basically, this is extortion because some believe privacy is the issue and the DoE has no right to redefine sex and gender based on civil rights law.

The DoE needs to be dismantled and the local districts allowed to handle all matters involving the education in their locale. Allowing these "snowflakes" to change the world is trashing every ethical, moral and religious value through a judicial system no one voted for.

Yes, this is out of control. I saw an article in a law journal where an adult MtF was suing for the right to have reconstructive surgery while serving a 25-year term for some heinous sex crimes.

Prisoners aside, one would presume that an adult not wanting to participate in such situations could avoid them. However, having a school authority insists that 14-year-old girls be subjective to naked anyone, much less a male who could be 18 or 19, is ridiculous. What shocked me was the report on the number of teen girls who had no objection to this MtF person in their locker room and showers. But with this generation, I guess if oral sex isn't s-e-x and rape isn't r-a-p-e, then naked isn't n-a-k-e-d.

Go figure.

You find the best youtube, mudbug! Laugh or cry?

The government getting involved is a Cloward-Piven tactic at its worst. Throw the society into chaos, break it financially, divide and conquer, etc.

BTW, I have known lots of people who identify as homosexuals since I worked in the arts, especially dance. No problem; a few have become friends. I even interviewed Christine Jorgensen a long time ago when she was performing as a singer. But this recent child/youth movement troubles me.
