You do realize that no objective test for any of this exists. Any neural circuitry difference that causes something like this is to small to see on an MRI or other non-invasive methods. It’s just a matter of the patient saying certain things and an opinion developed by a doctor.
This both means it is possible to fake it, and for doctors to screw up and disbelieve it. Just saying, it’s in no way objective, versus if a person is missing both legs and in a wheelchair, you can reasonably conclude they need a wheelchair ramp.
Thus, all bathrooms and all locker rooms must be single-occupancy only, because a gay boy might be in the bathroom with another boy, and desire to touch him inappropriately. No one can ever be trusted! Solitary confinement for all citizens…
But, seriously, I remember, back in the 70’s, some men actually said that Women’s Liberation was “emasculating” to them! That a woman might be able to run for elected office (rare at the time) somehow had the effect of making men less virile.
Ultimately, why not? Lots of homes in the U.S. are coed: fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers all do their thing without great concern. Mom’s in the shower, son comes in and takes a shit. Daughter’s in the shower, father comes in for a shave. This is very common, and does no harm.
In fact, it’s a good thing. It’s healthy. It’s de facto sex education. It takes away the artificial mystery regarding physical sex differences. Oh, so those are boobies: huh, interesting. (And Geeze, Daddy’s pecker is way bigger than mine!)
No, we aren’t under any delusions. Nazi Germany reversed centuries of progress, moving from one of the best-educated nations on earth to a troglodytic dictatorship of the idiots.
There are idiots here, too, who are fighting as hard as they can to roll back civil rights. The bigots are always a threat to our liberties. Freedom isn’t free, but must be won and re-won every generation.
The gains, as wonderful as they are, are always in peril from our next generation of neo-Nazis.
Around the 50 second mark, the student walks down the steps.
Yes, it does seem kind of weird, considering that most trans women make some effort NOT to put any penises on display. Most people who want to be accepted as women also make some effort not to wear incredibly unnatural-looking fake hair sloppily bobby-pinned to their heads with sideburns showing, since the purported purpose of the fake hair is to look more woman-like. Most people would also take some sort of step to not have visible facial hair stubble under these circumstances.
The student also claims to have identified as a gay male until age 13 (and publicly until 6 months ago), another pink flag.
Far be it from me to say a woman must have realistic hair or dress any particular way, but this kid is an exceptionally unconvincing trans woman. If a teenage boy wanted to have a bit of fun and get attention by putting on a wig, a skirt, and a bit of makeup in order to insist he is a girl and must be treated as such I daresay he would perhaps look very much like this.
The fact that girls he’d gone to school with as a boy for years now must consider him a girl on his own say-so and let him into their locker room would be pretty hilarious from that perspective.
Okay. I was guessing the girl in Missouri was documented too. I’m also guessing gender dysphoria doesn’t develop over a few weeks or months. The person with GD would have felt this way for the majority of their adolescence.
However, if this is not the case for some claiming to have GD, and they’ve only felt this way since last Christmas, I’m not sure I can trust they have it in the fall semester. Puberty is a tricky part of life. I would hope tests and conversation can confirm this, because it could really mess up a kid who doesn’t really have it. No reason to jump to conclusions with something like this. And I certainly don’t want this to become some kind of attention-fad (like a gluten allergy:rolleyes:). That would also be unfair to those who really do have it.
But who are we or anyone to decide what gender a person “really” is?
With gender-fluidity, a boy can “be” a girl and enter the girls’ room any time she wants and would logically have every right to do so. Questioning someone’s gender is ignorant, hateful, and bigoted, we are told.
I’m saying that since the gay boys are only about 5% of the total boys at most (probably less), and out of that percentage, the gay boys not in the closet during high school are an even smaller percentage, the probability of gay on gay encounters in the bathroom is low. It’s just simple dice rolls, for every gay boy there’s only a 1/20-1/40 chance that the other boy he encounters is also gay, and most gay boys probably desire consensual encounters with other gay boys.
If you mix straights together (the other 95%-97.5% of the population), there’s essentially about a 97.5-50 = 47.5% chance that any given bathroom partner is also potentially interested in you. That’s a huge difference. So co-ed showers, bathrooms, and locker rooms aren’t practical at the high school/middle school level.
Sure. But as you said above, it’s typical for a transwoman to minimize the visual appearance of her penis, something this person hasn’t done at all. Ordinary men’s underwear would have made her look much more feminine.
