Colorado parents of transgender 1st-grader file complaint over restroom ban

[Mystical]

Well, yeah, that would be asinine I see that. In my minds eye I was speaking about a one bathroom unit that either sex can go into, just like at the movie theatre. My bad

In all realities, this issue wouldn't come up if it weren't for the fact that we are all identified by our gender in school. In public, you've probably gone to the restroom with males and not known it. If not you, then someone has. I don't see it as being a problem in the ladies room so much because there are stalls. In the men's room, not so much. How would a guy feel standing next to for all intensive purposes a 'lady' to take a piss? I bet it isn't good. In places where I've worked, the men's bathrooms are quite lax on their need for doors, even for the stalls. I would feel weird going in there, wouldn't you? I would feel weird seeing men's penises on a daily basis too. Since schools require gender identification, it's only right that they accommodate all genders including transgender. Irregardless if their transgender is just a 'phase'.

My standing rule is, if someone personally identifies as a girl, I treat them like a girl.

Exactly.

I know some people think she's bit young, but at what age do we decide she's not too young to determine her gender? At 10? Or 12? Or 16 or 18?

I don't think there is an age limit for self determination, but there should be rules on making permanent adjustments to one's body, especially for kids who are still developing. And most especially when it comes to medication.
