Tranny Elementary: 2nd grade boy wants to go back to class as a girl

@ this thread.

This kid is a suicide waiting to happen.

As for Mewa, he wants to protect his daughter from the horrors of having to share a classroom with a transgendered student. At the same time, he's a philandering pothead, hiding his condoms from his multiple girlfriends, and sucking on his doobs while arguing that his drug use is no big deal.

Who's bad influence does his daughter really need to be protected from?

Regardless, I'm sure he's proud that he's on the same wavelength as Tasvir and Apostle. Great company you're keeping there, Mewa.

You realize this includes yourself, don't you?

OK. So what if the kid decides he's a furry? To you let him come to school in a costume? Do you call him "Mittens" and let him shit in a box over in the corner? What if another kid decides he's a cowboy? Can he bring a toy gun to school? If you let every 7 year old just do whatever they wanted, pretty soon you wouldn't have a classroom, you'd have a 3 ring circus.

Kids that age have active imaginations, but they need to learn how to deal with their imagination and still fit into productive society. If they don't learn that lesson at that age, they're going to wind up living in their parents' basement at 30, unemployed and unemployable, eating Hot Pockets, and being generally miserable.

This is a mess.

The fact is, at that age it is impossible to be certain if it is a phase, gender confusion or something else entirely.

*sigh*

When I was a kid, all I wanted was to be a boy. Seriously. I had my hair chopped off really short, wore nothing but jeans and t-shirts, was "one of the guys" in the neighborhood...I tried to pretend I was a guy, all the time.

But it wasn't because I was gender-confused. It was because when I was little I overheard my father saying he was disappointed I was a girl and that he really wanted a boy.

When I tried refusing to wear a dress to choral concerts (one of the few times a dress code was required), I got in trouble not pandered to. If I was a child now, this situation might truly cause me to become gender-confused in the end.

The school should take a neutral stance until that kid has been in therapy for awhile and no accomodations should be made until a psychiatrist has had a good long time getting to the root of things.

People keep wanting to view this situation as a misbehaving child who needs to be disciplined to bring him back into line. As if you could just slap him upside the head tell him to get over it.

What child wants to assume the opposite gender without there being something seriously wrong emotionally? There's not enough information from the article to truly know what's going on, but the phobic reaction from Mewa make it seem like the kid is diseased.

Well, there is the chance that this is a passing phase...and if it is then all this accomodation and disruption of the educational process to deal with it would be for nothing.

There needs to be a lot of investigation to find out the truth of the matter.

Too early for this pic?

This thread is timely.

I met my first transgendered being a couple of months ago. I spent about 5 minutes talking to 'her' and quickly realized that I might be talking to the most fucked up individual I've ever known. Doesn't seem like becoming a 'chick' really helped.

It was painfully obvious s/he was a dude. If you were to accept that it was a woman, it would be one of the most homely women I've ever seen.

Transgenders are freaks, and the world needs it freaks, but elementary school doesn't.

I call BS.

Why? Because most 7 year olds don't know shit about their sexuality.

Most. Not all. I knew nothing about my sexuality at 7 because I knew nothing about sexuality at 7.
Doesn't mean I automatically assume others don't know...

Before someone gets him a sex change.

I mean, why not deal with the problem properly. If the kid knows what he wants and all.

Exactly my point.

I bet this kid wasn't even taught the difference between boy and girl, but learned it from a magazine or some TV show.

Well, it worked for actormikey...

Or, did it?

It's enlightening how ironically similar this line of thinking to the anti-gay marriage crowd.

I call Bullshit. I fully supported my position and you dismissed it out of hand without providing a single valid rebuttal, all the while raging with your usual bluster and self-importance.

Debate is not one of your strong points.

Your entire argument is flawed because it's based on the assumption that transgendered people suffer from an affliction. It's not applicable.

Listen to the attached Who song.

Shit, when I was 7, I wanted to be a fire truck...

They did- the Fisher Price kind, along with the airport with the helicoptor and moving jetway. Christmas 1972, baby!! (That was before second grade by about three years, though...)

Eh?

Time immemorial.

That's nice. Since you've avoided the question I'll ask it again. What if they allow this and another kid decides he's a furry? Do you accomodate him too?

Thankfully he is at least not on the same wavelength as YOU. If that were the case he'd have committed suicide out of full fucking BOREDOM with your vanilla missionary only sex and no roleplays.

So, what's goin' on?

Transgendered? No.

Difference between boys and girls? - uh, yea.

I was in the 4th grade - so around age 10 - when I wanted very much to be a boy. It was very easy for me to dress and act like a boy. I even had my friends call me by a 'boyish nickname' even tho in my mind, they were calling me by the boy name I would have if I were a boy.

I outgrew it. And, as an adult, I love being a woman. But, I still look back fondly on those days when I was a boy.


It isn't the women or girls who have a problem with this, it's the men who are, for some completely unreasonable and illogical reason, feeling immasculated over this.

Geez. Let the kid alone - and the schools, parents and teachers need to quit making such a big fuss over it.

Yes, he will probably be laughed at, but he will either live with it, or stop dressing like a girl.

Then it will be over.

And who will it have hurt?

Not the other students in the classroom, that's for certain.

No kidding. I had a roommate who kept trying to convince me I was really a lesbian - no, not like that! She just wanted me to 'be honest with myself' - wouldn't take my word for it that I know I like men.

It sounds like a few people in here believe that the penis is just a social construct. Penises are as real as the nose on your face.

I believe the term is "SheMale"....now you know why he was on Maury Povich.

Well, the bottom line on it for me is this:

A lot of the base rational for dress codes is "does this dress cause disruption to the educational process?"

and i know a TON of kids who disagree with administration about when the answer to that question becomes "yes"

So here's what i do: I tell the kid, and his folks:

"We have a policy of placing the education of all students first, over the expression of individuality that might be disruptive. That being the case, If you choose to enroll your child here, he or she must not dress in a manner that is disruptive to the educational process - in short, if he wears a skirt and there's a disruption, he's worn his last skirt. And so forth.
within the constraints of that policy...he can dress as he chooses.

Secondly, if he wishes to be adressed buy a name which he identifies as feminine, he (or you folks together) need to choose a gender nuteral name like "Jamie" - again, so as to minimize disruption."


Now, the kid/parents will either:

Be as accommodating as they wish the school to be....or sue. and that will tell you how self absorbed they are.

If they are accommodating, then the boy will feel as comfortable in his effeminate behavior as Tamar and Jenee felt during their "butch" period (no offense ladies) OR he will be embarrassed as shit about it and change his mind.


And if I had a kid in that class and he came home and said to me "Dad, you won't believe it but this kid wants us to call him Jamie now and he wore a DRESS today!", I would say, "What did you think?" to which my kid would no doubt reply "I think he's crazy!" to which I would reply "You're a smart kid"

and that would be that.
