Treatment of Trans-Genders in Public Schools.

I was recently messaged on Facebook about an opinions thread in a group.

The basis of this thread was, in public schools, should a post-op person be treated as the sex they originally were, or the sex they currently are?

And what precautions (if any) should the school take to dampen the harassment that would certainly occur?


Be mature about this, any posts that are "EW" "Gross" Will be reported as spam.

 

I think that they should wait until they're out of school to do that stuff. If they do do it at that age, maybe they should take precautions and home school.

 

Oh, so were going back a century ago to seperation?

 

I agree 100%

They've changed their lifestyle as well as the gender. As a result, they should be treated as the new gender. But I can see how it'd be somewhat weird going into like a guys locker room if you were once a girl or vice versa.

 

TBH, if a girl becomes a boy, I see no reason why a straight boy would sexually harass him...that doesn't make too much sense. I think, yeah, a person should be treated as the sex they are.

 

Because they're acting something they're not?

I somewhat agree. To make sure they aren't making a mistake and having surgery at 10 years old.

No, it's avoiding conflict.

 

So was segregating blacks..but we see how that turned out, don't we?

 

Acting something they're not? That'd be a metrosexual, or cross-dresser maybe, but not someone who actually is a new gender after surgery. Then, they are what they are.

 

It's the person's choice. It's still considered avoiding conflict. You don't have to, you could just take the insults or the "looks" and pass on your school.

Naturally.

 

So what if its the person's choice? We have obviously seen 100 years ago that segregation doesn't work out well, so why would we try it again?

 

They should be treated by whatever gender they are legally. Of coarse, all harassment laws will apply.

I mean like I rather have a overbearing gay guy not be in the same bathroom as me

 

Who the hell gets/parents let get a sex change in grade school? Some schools might not allow it.

 

Think from there perspective.

 

I find it hard to imagine my response.

I would have to encounter it in real life. =| However, I agree with the statement that they should be kept at home until they are old enough to make a decision.

I do not agree with the "segregation" comment at all. Segregation was based on race, something that would never and could not be changed. Age, however, is a constantly changing factor. We don't allow children to buy cigarettes early because it is better to wait until they are emotionally capable (and the same generally goes for marriage).

Restricting the age on sex changes is the same thing from my point of view. If they want to do it, waiting a few years won't kill them. In fact, it may save them from the worst mistake they ever made.

What if we allowed them to do it early, before they ever fully understood the consequences, and they ended up regretting it for the rest of their lives?

 

I don't get it, who gets a sex change before 18? Someone please enlighten me.

 

Segregation was forced, and not a choice.

They might not be sure if they are what they think they are. Hell, your a fucking kid.

This.

 

People who don't want to live a lie?

It is still the same concept.

 

Noone should be allowed a sex change before they're old enough to see the consequences. Doing something as drastic as a sex change before 18 is absurd.

 

There's a recognized disorder called Gender Identity Disorder (GID), and from what I know, the sooner you get it fixed, the sooner you can adapt to the change that was bound to happen.

 

A sophomore at my school did this year. Girl to boy. 16 years old. Did "he" now use the boys' bathroom, boys' locker room, and any other privilege boys have? Yes.
