Maybe it worked out okay for the people around them, but I gaurantee that the said individual was NOT okay. Closeted trans people are usually very clinically depressed, and coming out and making the transition relieves the depression

You realize that most "male perverts" are cisgendered men who prey on young boys and young girls, right? They also live as heterosexuals, even if they are not.

Yet I have NEVER seen anyone propose special restrooms to keep perverted men away from young boys.

Why is that?

Do people not care about little boys?

Why not just let people do what they want and use whatever bathroom they want.

Nope. Trans people have always used the restroom where they felt they'd get less questions asked of them.

So, if the trans person looks more feminine, they go to the ladies' and if they look more masculine, they go to the men's.

You have likely been in a restroom with someone you thought was a man who was born with the genitals of a female.

Or vice version... dunno what your gender is.

And, you are fine, are you not?

Do people spend much time putting their genitalia on display for you?

Because it makes too much sense?

There frequently are no bathroom stalls in many gym open locker/shower rooms. They're in a separate room. And since you had no transgenders in your class or wanting to share the locker/shower room facilities with you and never had to submit against your will, you have no right to insist that minor girls submit themselves to naked anatomical males (or vice versa).

I'm quite confident that nobody who has a penis is going to insist on sharing locker facilities with girls.

Not anyone trans, anyway.

Nor is someone with a vagina going to want to share a locker room with a bunch of boys.

Both scenarios are invites for the trans kid to be ridiculed, molested, or both.

Come on.

Do you really think teen girls are so wimpy they cannot handle a person with a penis who is trans and not yet old enough for surgery, even if they WERE to ask to use that locker room?

I think it would be far more awkward for the trans teen than for the cisgender teens, really.

A pervert is that Sanduskey guy from Penn State. A transgender mail or female is not.

I am quite confident you are quite wrong.

That's the whole reason we are having this debate to begin with.
NY teen boy wanting to use girls locker room.

Ring a bell?

THEY CAN.

This thread is not about the issue you think you are arguing about.

It is SPECIFICALLY addressing the mandate that Obama sent out concerning public schools accommodating trans folks in which ever LOCKER ROOM/ SHOWER they chose under threat of losing federal funding.

THAT is what Trump rescinded.
