Petition officials of Colorado district to stop discrimating against trans kids
March 26, 2013 at 10:45 pm
Change.org Wrote:Our Transgender Daughter Is Just Another Girl: Tell Her School to Stop Discriminating
Sign our Petition by
Kathryn & Jeremy Mathis
United States
We are Kathryn and Jeremy Mathis, the parents of five children in Fountain, Colorado. One of our daughters, Coy, is six years old and in first grade. Just before Christmas, Coy's school told us that after winter break, they would no longer allow her to use the girls' bathroom, because she is transgender.
They gave Coy three options for where to go to the bathroom; the boys' room, the staff bathroom with adults, or the nurse's bathroom which is used by sick children.
Coy is not sick, she is not an adult, and she is not a boy.
Coy is a girl. She wears girls' clothes, is addressed by everyone at the school using female pronouns, and has been accepted by her classmates and teachers as a girl. But if the school separates her from all her classmates to use the bathroom, they are singling her out for mistreatment, and teaching her classmates that it's okay to discriminate.
We want our daughter to have the same educational opportunities as every other Colorado student.
We have filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Division asking the school to treat Coy like any other girl, because that's been the law in Colorado since 2007, when the state banned discrimination based on gender identity.
But we want our children's school to treat our daughter equally because it's the right thing to do, not because the law forces them to.
Please tell officials at Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8 that teaching children to discriminate is wrong.

Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

How do you tell if a child is transexual when they are in 6th grade? Doesn't it seem like you are forcing that on them?

Well, seeing as how I inherited this thread I'll answer you. This petition is about a 6yr old, not a sixth grader. And wouldn't it be pushing her gender on her if she chose to be a girl in the first place and you made her be a boy?

How can a 6 year old choose their gender? What other choices do 6 year olds make that are acceptable? If a 6 year old chooses they don't have to go to school, do people accept that?

A 6yr old can be whatever they choose to be. There's no law against being transgendered, but there is against not going to school. Nothing says they will stay a girl, but it's their right to be whomever they wish. Psychiatrists have established over decades of study, that this is the healthiest thing to do psychologically. Disagree?,

Where have psychologists established being transgendered is the healthiest thing to do?

No, I didn't say that. It's the psychologically healthiest scenario, to not suppress one's gender choices in the process of development.

Yeah, go ahead and try that whole "gender is a choice" thing. Doesn't work with sexuality and it doesn't work here, but by all means.
