Nope it says right in the title, Girls. Transgender is fine if they have already been changed, just dressing in girls clothing only makes one a cross-dresser many of whom are not gay of transgender. This is not rocket science folks.

Damn!!! Just damn! And we wonder why this country is in a mess.
Seems to come from people who worry one gender is having more fun than the other.

Most likely these are the same people who make a fuss when their spouses want ladies or men's night out, they have to be the odd one tagging along.

Very true on both counts.

My former high school (as a teacher) currently has a student who is transitioning from male to female. When school starts in the fall, he will be presenting as a she, but district policy states that s/he will still have to use the boys restroom. In discussions with his classmates, he's gotten the message that while they sympathize with his situation, neither gender is really comfortable with the idea of this student sharing their bathrooms next year. Definitely a 21st century problem for today's schools....

The title of the first article is blatantly misleading.

Why? They think he will pee or poop on them?

No one has a right to tell anyone what they should believe and be tolerant of. People have the freedom to believe as they choose. The LBGT community is bullying people into accepting their way of thinking, they are no better than right wing Christians who force their beliefs on others. Its shameful.
By force, you mean having the right to join the Boy or Girl Scouts, or having the right to marry another consenting adult of their choice? Perhaps, you mean having the right to not get beaten, rent an apartment, or get a job because of who they are? How dare they force another rational human being to accept that they might be people too? We should absolutely go with "majority rule" on rights and freedoms. That is, until I become a minority.

Well, some of the boys said they would not like having someone dressed as a girl in the boys' bathroom. If the student actually looked like a girl, most girls would not know what the anatomical gender is because girls do their toileting behind closed doors, so there might be less of a problem if the student were allowed to use the girls bathroom. Of course, there's always going to be parents complaining about "perverts" in the girls bathrooms...

School district policy will have to be revisited to keep up with the times, I guess.

Girl Scouts have gone liberal? Cool! Now I can hold my head high and proud when I buy their cookies (not that I was ashamed before)

I really like Girl Scout Cookies but not sure if I can support the Girl Scouts by buying Thin Mints or Samoas if they are letting boys into their ranks. This is an area where feminists could actually be useful, but apparently even they have been silenced by the gender eviscerationists.
