Transgender girl's family sues private school for "emotional distress"

Ok, thank you, however I woke up with the same views.

The school is being sued for not letting a boy dress in girls uniforms, for not letting a boy use the girls bathrooms, and because the school would not recognize him as a girl, and yet you stated you didn't see anywhere in the article where anyone was being forced to pretend it's a girl? That's exactly what the parents wanted and didn't get, hence the reason for the suit.

 

Obviously, the school did not comply with those demands, so I can't see how anyone, as of yet, has been forced to do anything. I also said right from the beginning that these demands were a load of crap. The only thing that ought to be any concern is whether or not teachers really did allow bullying to occur.

I didn't see where the article stated the students were forced to pretend, which was the question that was directed at me by another member here. In fact, the claim the teachers did nothing to stop bullying makes me think the students weren't forced to pretend, and if that's what the parents mean by teachers not intervening during bullying--that the school didn't require students to pretend--then I'd think they have no case.

 

Reading the article, the main basis of the suit has nothing to do with bullying. In fact, it doesn't even say the child was bullied, it says the teachers were "barred" from intervening which makes absolutely no sense and is pretty unbelievable. The main reasons for the suit was that the school would not recognize the child as a girl by calling it the girl name, letting the child use girls restrooms, and wear a girls uniform. So the parents are trying to force the school (faculty & students) to pretend the child is a girl. Since the school is not accommodating to their demands, lawsuit!

 

We have no obligation as a sane society to cave to the demands of those with mental health issues.
TRANSGENDERISM = BODY DYSMORPHIA !

 

As in, the subject of the article?

 

Trying to force something is not the same as forcing something, and your opinion that the bullying is unbelievable is unsubstantiated based on the info from the article. It's basically just what you want to believe, but you have no proof, so it doesn't really mean anything.

 

The parents haven't been convicted for abuse, so...
I still think you made it up.

 

I'm sure they do. But the distress is part of a higher cause, as they would see it. The child is canon fodder for their derangement.

 

Sorry, what are you saying I made up?

 

You claimed the parents abused their child. But that's just not the case according to the OP.

 

If an eight year old boy decides he's a girl, either his parents indoctrinated him with their delusions or they accommodated an obviously childish fantasy and made it reality. In any event, I call that abuse. Others may disagree.

 

You mean.. you indeed made it all up.
Thanks for clarifying.

 

It's one of the two, it cant be anything else. That is categorically the case. Nothing is "made up" - whichever abuse it is, it's abuse. If someone is abused and I know it's either rape or assault but I don't know which, it's still abuse.

 

You categorically dismiss the thought that the child is indeed a transgender, and make up a reality that the parents must have done this to the child with no proof to back it up. You probably do this because you can not comprehend that a child is able to make such a choice. Or putting it in an other way: ignorance is the basis of your claim.

 

Exactly. A male that thinks he's a female is no different than a male that thinks he's a dog.

 

Of course, because it's ridiculous. Children don't know or care enough about any of that stuff to form a life altering decision on it. It's the ADULTS around them who do that.

 

I will never understand why the RW bigots are so obsessed w/ transgender people.
I am guessing that it touches something in their minds that is beyond their capability to comprehend.
Fear and loathing is the only response that they have.
To each his own is what I think.

 

Unless that child has both male and female organs, how does an 8 year old who hasn't reach puberty even know what it is? The parents should be charged with child abuse and locked up.

 

Trying to force something is not the same as forcing something? Well no ****! That's why they're suing the school, because they want to force something. Trying to murder you and murdering you aren't quite the same but I'm still wrong for either, correct?

The parents statement that teacher were banned from intervening of bullying also has no proof. I didn't say I know for a fact that it's false, but it sounds unbelievable. Bullying is the new trigger word for leftist, so parents probably figured it would have more impact that the fact that their son doesn't get to wear a dress to school.

 

It's a disease. Promoting transgenderism is like promoting shooting up heroine, or promoting depression. It makes no damn sense and is extremely harmful.

 

So what are your thoughts on the story, rather than just bashing RW'ers? Do you think the child should be allowed to use the restroom with girls and wear girls uniforms?

 

Bless you .... the old 1970s defence. Good times

 

I already said to each his own.
Duh?

 

Glad we're finally able to come to some agreement on this, and I've already stated most of their demands are a load of crap at least twice now. My only concern about topic is the possible bullying.

The article isn't specific about what proof the parents have, that's why I stated right from the beginning that the alleged bullying could be significant.

I don't disagree with you as much as you seem to think I do.

 

So you'd be perfectly fine with your daughters sharing restroom, locker rooms, changing areas (PE) with this child?
