Keep your own confusion out of the classroom, kids have got enough on their plate already without having to deal with "your" gender confusion. Don't make "your" private personal problem into their problem too ..

You discredit your own argument by bringing race into the discussion incidently .. Fail
It's also an issue for the families and friends of transgender people.

The idea that transgender people are confused is not quite accurate either. I'm very sure of my gender identity--I just know it's not 100% female despite my physiology.

No, I'm describing an intersex person. A perfectly valid human being.

Except it's not. There are other biological determinants for gender such as brain chemistry, hormone levels, chromosomes, etc. Biologically there are more than two possible sexes when you take all those factors into consideration as well.

Men who wear dresses in public are at best mentally ill. At worst, they are dangerous freaks who should be kept far from children at all costs.

Damage your children as you will. That's your right as a parent. Get near mine with such advocacy or behavior and you'll not be able to do it for long.
Wow where do I even start with this?

Mentally-ill? How? Because you don't like it? Are people who believe in God and Satan mentally ill? I find both ideas to be hilarious ridiculous but I don't call those people mentally-ill. Especially when there is scientific evidence to support transgender and none to support religion. I don't care what people believe and they should be free to worship whatever they want. I don't care if a Christian teaches my children.

Now that I threw that bomb lets continue.

How is a man who wears a dress in public dangerous? I would like a serious answer to this question. Because I can list plenty of instances of men wearing dresses in public. Such danger! HIDE THE CHILDREN! Society will collapse when women start wearing pants! Oh wait oops.

And you know there are cultures with 3rd genders right? I mean, I am guessing you don't but there are.

So, upon being proven to be a bigot, we are now resorting to vague physical threats?

Absolutely hilarious.

It's the social conservative way - just look at the most socially conservative group of people on Earth, fundamentalist Muslims.

Massachusetts ‘Transgender Pride’ — As Tragic As It Gets


Women who want to be men march shirtless to display their flat chests after ‘transgender’ breast removal surgeries

Part 1: Body mutilation on parade


THIS IS A WOMAN.

Do what you want at home and on your personal time, advance your agenda on your own time, but keep your personal life out of my kid's classroom.

Isn't a transgender male a female, now? I'm not up on the terminology but I thought transgender is the former transexual, that is, someone who had the surgery. You would expect that person to be dressed as a woman. It's transvestites that would be males wearing dresses, right?

Do female teachers wear dresses to school these days?

I don't have any kids so I won't comment.
