    man ... simple questions to answer for you:

    Is this school a private school ... Yes or No?

    If Yes, look on the laws and rules for any private schools and what they are allowed to do order and demand!

    West Point was a bad example form me, sorry. But there are a plenty of private military academy schools in the US as you know and they all demand to wear uniforms, correct? Are they then also not allowed to do so, when you deny this right to this private school?

    I'm pretty sure they submitted a birth certificate when he was enrolled and it says it right on there M.

    And we segregate men and women in restrooms because of their BIOLOGICAL differences not their mental differences.

    Some of these people are absolutely scary in how far into fantasyland they've gone and how much they need others to tell them how to think.
    If someone like the APA was to publish tomorrow that it is not a Mental issue to think you are 10 people, some of these people would go right along with it, and tell the rest of us we're crazy.

    As in.. a private school is only for white people, and so be it?
    Doesn't work like that.

    But what IS the alleged bullying and harassment? Is it "your name isn't nikki, its nick and you're a dude"? Those are statements of fact as I doubt the kid has had the name legally changed and I know he hasn't gotten the block and tackle removed.
    If its physical violence or some actionable thing like that, that's one thing. If its calling the dude a dude and nick not nikki, that's not harassment or bullying.

    Do you remember this guy?

    A Canadian man who was married, with seven kids, has left his family in order to fulfill his true identity - as a six-year-old girl.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/a...ender-SIX-YEAR-OLD-girl-named-Stefonknee.html

    These progressives went right along with it defending this mook as a six year old girl.

    In their dangerous world, facts are to be removed in place of feelings. Society will get very crazy , very fast unless they are put back into the box.

    You can't encourage everyones imagination.

    So that's it? Being transgender is a mental illness just because you think it's weird? No evidence necessary?

    A unisex or gender neutral bathroom inside and comparable to the M/F facilities would constitute equal accommodation; a portapotty is just a lawsuit on wheels.

    No.

    The problem is solved by equal accommodation, not public shaming via grossly unequal treatment.

    We know very little about the child; the child's doctor knows more, but may not know everything relevant either.

    We're speculating, and some are doing so wildly.

    Best to be careful about generalizing, as I've repeatedly expressed that we lack sufficient knowledge to judge the situation here.

    Yes. It seems like a form of child molestation.

    Sounds like you've never been a parent. To a healthy child, gender is a simple biological fact just like fingers or toes or any other part of their body. It informs them on how to use the bathroom. A normal kid, whether boy or girl,doesn't object to jeans and a tee shirt. Neither do they care much if asked not to klomp around in mom's high heels.

    If it becomes a passionate or desperate identity issue, something is very wrong.
    And it was probably made wrong by a perverse adult in the kid's life.

    You do have knowledge of the matter.
    A young child has been hyper-sexualized by an adult. That is a heartbreaking crime of molestation.
    At some point, that kid will hit puberty and begin to get crushes - and that is the time when they will begin to identify. Until then, the kid should enjoy the freedom of innocense.

    The first is tangible. Wouldn't you think it wierd to teach a child that a dog is really a cat and a cat is really a mouse? What chance for a functional life would that kid have?

    Was the child taught this?

    We have no idea what's happened, or what's happening, or what the health of the child or family is.

    Sure, that's why I said I was beginning to agree with you after this thread.

    Both, however, are tantamount to brainwashing. Get them while their too young to challenge the ideas. Some religions don't even wait for the kid to learn how to talk. Then you just keep reinforcing the idea throughout childhood. I think the same techniques are at work in both situations. We either condemn them both or accept them equally.

    Yes.
    There is the abuse.
    Reason for removing the child from the toxic environment.

    Everyone knows it, and has known it from the beginning of time. Only the confused are confused. That's why it is a mental illness.
