So now a high school in Missouri is dealing with just such an issue but the teen in question wasn't happy or satisfied with using the unisex bathroom.
"For Perry, her personal struggle began as soon as she could call herself a teenager. At age 13, Perry began to feel “more like a girl than a boy,” she
told the Times.
By the middle of last year, her junior year at Hillsboro High, Perry was ready to come out as transgender. She was tired of pretending to be someone she wasn’t, she
told the Post-Dispatch. She began wearing a wig, dresses and women’s makeup, although she has not had gender reassignment surgery.
When school began on Aug. 13, Perry told school administrators that she wanted to use the girls’ bathroom and locker room, instead of the unisex bathroom she had used as a junior.
The school consented, in accordance with
guidelines from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights that say students should be allowed to use facilities in accordance with their gender identification."
So he still has a penis but forced the issue so he could "identify" as a female. A parent with a son at the school said, "The girls have rights, and they shouldn’t have to share a bathroom with a boy,” Tammy Sorden, who has a son at Hillsboro High,
told the Post-Dispatch. Lila should not get special treatment, Sorden said, “while the girls just have to suck it up".
For his part, Lila said, "I was tired of being “segregated” because of being transgender.
“With using the staff bathroom, I felt like I was being segregated off, like: ‘Here are the boys, here are the girls, this is me,'” she told the TV station. “And I wanted to help blend in with all the other girls.”
“I wasn’t hurting anyone,” she told the Post-Dispatch. “I am a girl. I am not going to be pushed away to another bathroom"
Mmm, sorry Lila. What does "help blend in" even mean? He isn't helping anyone but himself. And exactly how can he claim he isn't hurting anyone? And is that really the only delineator? Why should all the girls in the girls locker room be forced to make the adjustments?
This comment made me laugh, "Since the controversy started, Perry has dropped out of her physical education class to avoid using the locker room altogether, she told the newspaper. She now also tries to avoid using the bathroom at her high school: a difficult task for a teenage girl." Exactly why is it difficult for a teenage girl to avoid the bathroom? Every reason I can think of isn't something that a transgender can account for.
