Apparently you've never seen Chyna, the female wrestler.
Go google it and tell me where the penis/clitoris rule is then.
I've seen it before (this is common in female bodybuilders). She's still a woman, her clitoris is still a clitoris, and her DNA still contains XX chromosomes. But Chyna isn't trans, so she really has nothing to do with the trans debate.
The penis/clitoris rule is: men have penises, women have clitorises. Whether the genital tubercle develops into a clitoris or a penis is determined by the presence or absence of TDF, a protein that results from the SRY gene on the Y chromosome. Functionally speaking, the clitoris is strictly an organ of sexual pleasure, whereas the penis is used for urination and ejaculation in addition to sexual pleasure.

I hope that clears it up for ya.
...and a transgendered person has had corrective surgery to make an inappropriate clitoris into a penis, or vice versa....
I hope THATS clear for YOU, too.
Its no ones BUSINESS what someone has in their pants!!!!! Especially a school student!!!!

We were ALL transgender, in the womb.
Some fetuses hormones went wonky, through no fault of their own (being that they were fetuses) and they ended up born with the incorrect genitalia.
A bit like babies being born with extra thumbs. It happens. Fix it surgically when they're old enough for it to bother them>>>>Transgendered Person.
I'm 100% pro-equal rights for homosexuals...all the way...I wrote regular letters for ten years to my representatives supporting gay marriage, for example...but I don't "get" the whole transgender thing.
For example, I have no problem whatsoever sharing a bathroom or locker room with lesbians, even though they are sexually attracted to other women. I don't assume that every lesbian on Earth is trying to "convert" me; in fact, I'm sure 99.99% of them don't care. They're just using the facilities the same way I am.
Transgenders on the other hand...the ladies' room is not set up for an intact male. It's just not. Also, what's to stop a perv from cross-dressing and claiming to be transgender just to get into the ladies' bathroom or locker room? As tolerance of transgender people increases, the stigma of stating you're transgender is diminishing. What's to stop someone from doing that?
If I had a daughter in a high school where an intact pubescent biological male student wanted to use the same bathrooms and locker rooms as my daughter, I'd have a big problem with that.
Just being honest.
This is about transgenders, not homosexuals. They should not be confused with one another. Gays use restroom like straights do.
Seems to me that if his claim is real then he should accept the fact he is different and stay away from both male and female bath rooms.
But he respects neither, and is after forcing his way to do what he really wants, and that is to be in the girls locker room.
Well, they all start out the same. Males begin to differentiate in the 8 to 12 week range, due to the actions of various androgens. In essence the clitoris becomes the penis. Without those androgens it stays a clitoris.
Gender is not a dichotomy. It's a continuum, a spectrum.
We're referring to people 15, 16, 17 years old, not developing embryos. All embryos actually start out female, then if it's going to be a male a gene switches on that dissolves the developing female organs and then male organs begin to grow. Anyway, it's totally irrelevant to the fact that teenage girls are entitled to a space of their own, whether this person feels female in his head or not. Gender as perceived by the brain may be a continuum but biological sex is not, and our school bathroom facilities have everything to do with the latter and not the former.
No … It seems to me that transgender persons simply want to be -- openly -- who they are without being segregated into some *special* places and arrangements reserved only for *them* ...
As someone with a number of transgendered friends, mostly mtf and most post-op now, I can tell you that you hit the nail right on the head..... once one sees what my friends have had to and continue to endure from society, and even worse, their own families in many cases, you know that this is NOT a choice that they have made, but is who they are..... as CinderSlipper said, Born That Way.
I am made more hopeful by the strides in LGBT rights happening these days.... it has been far too long coming and I think once the people who are in their teens and 20's now start to take a more dominant position in society, acceptance and tolerance will be more the norm....
It's not "uncomfortable" for her; it's dangerous. And it's also uncomfortable for all the boys in that restroom. At least girls rooms all are individual stalls, no one really cares who's inside unless there's no extra mess
Girls's restrooms have individual stalls, but this is about a locker room, which usually do not.
