DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Transgender Students in School Bathrooms

No, it is about parents who do not what their daughters using the same restroom as, or changing clothes in the presence of, a person who is physically male.

What about their rights ... or don't they matter to you?

You bet I care about rights, but I base it on rationality. You base your outrage on the single issue of a transgender's genitals, completely disregarding every other part of the person's existence.

The outrage over this is so over blown when considering the daughters who are ACTUALLY sexually assaulted.

Where are the protest signs for those girls.

Heck there are a group of christians who not only aren't voicing disapproval of these assaults, but they also insist that if the girl gets pregnant she should be forced to bear the child.

And we're complaining about a transgender?

You have reading comprehension problems.

A major part of parenting is protecting those children from harm, and even from potential harm.

I see no problem with having a "gender neutral" bathroom. If a school has such a thing, then kids who also don't care about this can go to the bathroom in those rooms as a sign of their support. Others who do not want to go to the bathroom with those who have genitalia of members of the opposite sex.

You could do the same thing with a locker room.

I have no problem with that.

However, I do not want young girls forced to dress and undress in front of someone who is physically a member of the opposite sex.

As far as abortion, you can go chase that rabbit all by yourself.

“My goal is for the district and parents to have a policy discussion,” said Derrick Good, a lawyer who has two daughters in the district and wants students to use either facilities based on their biological sex or other gender-neutral facilities.


Now christians are even protesting schools should not have unisex bathrooms.

That strategy doesn't work. I read what you right.

Haha, you are write...that strategy won't work...haha.

Fare enough.

Gay and Transgender Groups Celebrate Ohio School District’s ‘Gender Neutral’ Bathrooms

School districts across the country are rushing to make policies for the tiny number of students who CLAIM to be transgender. The latest to make such a policy is the Troy, Ohio, school district which has added a “gender neutral” bathroom policy, causing gay and transgender groups to descend upon the town to celebrate the decision.

On Tuesday, Equality for Ohio and The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network both announced that they planned to hold rallies near the Troy Board of Education to celebrate the new policy.

Troy has decided to add a gender neutral bathroom in every school. The district justifies its move by saying the federal government is forcing its hand under federal Title IX education laws. The district insists that adding the bathrooms is an attempt to avoid future discrimination lawsuits.

The district went further than simply mandating the gender neutral bathrooms by also ruling that transgender kids may also use whatever facilities match the gender with which they claim to identify. So transgender kids will not be limited to separate transgender facilities, meaning that teenaged boys who “identify” as a girl will be able to go into a girl’s locker room during gym class.

While Superintendent Eric Herman of the Troy schools admitted that the decision was basically made by the district’s lawyers, he also insisted that everyone’s rights would be protected.

“We try to make sure all of our kids are safe and protect their rights. It is a big job,” Herman said. “We are trying to work our way through it the best we can. My role in this is to comply with the law as superintendent.”

But many parents worried over boys claiming to be girls using the girls bathroom.

Bryan Kemper of Troy, who has six children in the system, says the new transgender policy is “outrageous,” and went on to say, “My students deserve privacy/No co-ed bathrooms.”

Another parent said he wouldn’t approve of the reverse situation, either.

“If my daughter was going into the guy’s bathroom, I wouldn’t be alright with it. Something could happen to ’em. You never know,” West Milton dad, Sean Call said.

Tonya Morgan, another Troy resident, also criticized the decision.”My oldest son is in kindergarten right now and I do not think it’s a good idea for them to share bathrooms,” she said.

The decision in Troy, Ohio, comes at the same time that a school in Hillsboro, Missouri, is dealing with a transgender boy claiming to identify as a girl and demanding to be allowed to use the girls facilities.

This is actually the school district my grandchildren went to until we moved to Tennessee.

So is it worse for a girl to happen to glimpse a transgender who really doesn't give a crap or should we show more concern for the actual abuse girls/women experience?

It's not anything I wrote (your reading comprehension skills on display again). Read the first paragraph. Then the second. Do you see how what you wrote completely contradicts what was said in the first paragraph?

Why do I even bother...there is no way you will comprehend this.

I guess the difference is that sexual abuse and sexual harassment are have laws to protect the girls.

Someone using a bathroom that has signage for one of the opposite gender is not illegal, just bad social manners.

I agree.

So why are the streets full of people protesting bad manners when there are serious laws being broken?

My only guess CHS is this protest is all about insisting that transgenders don't really exist and therefore deserve no rights and like your article points out, some of them don't want gender neutral rooms either. I assume because it would involve acknowledging transgenders as real.

the problem isn't acknowledging they're real man. come on now.

the issue stems from wanting special/extra facilities that cost more just because somebody is trapped in the wrong body.

everybody know's they're "real", we all get it. however, at some point the "look at me, i need special treatment" thing has to hit a wall.

Oh damn!!! Swish is sounding more conservative every day.

i know that was in jest, but that isn't a conservative/liberal thing, it's just being a rational human being.

some of them don't want gender neutral rooms either.

If you want a rational discussion lets compare the incidents of gender problems in bathrooms to the number of incidents of unwanted sexual attention a girl in college receives.

There's zero rationality or credibility in this gender restroom discussion.

the problem isn't acknowledging they're real man. come on now.

They already have bathrooms for both men, women and faculty. There are no extra costs. If you read that Breibart or w/e its called report. None of them are asking for any special treatment. They're asking to use a restroom. Come on, Swish.

Yes, they are. By your example above, this kid is a boy, he is not a girl and he is not faculty, regardless of what he THINKS he should be... yet he wants to use a different bathroom. That is the very definition of asking for special treatment.

and guess what? i said that in the beginning.

if you have a penis, use the guys restroom. just go in the stall if you want to act like a lady instead of the urinal.

How dare a person who isn't faculty use their bathroom! lol

Not sure why you are being such a DB today... he used the faculty bathroom last year and it was fine, the faculty was prepared to allow him to use it again this year and he refused because HE wants to be accepted by the other girls and be part of the girl talk that goes on in the bathroom evidently.

well the kids are gonna get crap regardless if they get the use the bathroom they want or not.

because teens are possibly the meanest group of people alive. we can not possibly protect everybody from everything.

What do you mean? You just drew an arbitrary line because he wasn't faculty and told him where to go.

Someone in the article by the republican news site said they wouldn't let their daughter go to the Men's room if she identified as a Man, because he fear she would be raped there. That's a pretty good reason, I would say
