Transgender first-grader wins the right to use girls' restroom

CNN

While there are plenty of people who have to find themselves it usually takes years to do so. People mature and go through changes before they settle on an identity. A child in the first grade has not lived life enough to know or realize his/ her identity. Especially whether or not he/ she identifies with the other sex to want to change.

This case brings all sorts of issues that the school, students and parents are now forced to deal with. It is a forced equality coming from the ‘parents’ of a child they have what appears to be little or no control over. This boy has control over his parents. What is going to happen to him as he ages? Is he really ready to transform from boy to girl? What of the other students that now have to share the bathroom with this boy – wanna be girl? What of their rights?

What we have here is a very small minority imposing their will on the majority.How confusing is this for children that are now dealing with this? Could this be considered child abuse – not only of this little confused boy but also of the children who go to school with him?

We encourage you to comment:

(CNN) -- A transgender first-grader who was born a boy but identifies as a girl has won the right to use the girls' restroom at her Colorado school.

The Colorado Rights Division ruled in favor of Coy Mathis in her fight against the Fountain-Fort Carson School District.

Coy's parents had taken her case to the commission after the district said she could no longer use the girls' bathroom at Eagleside Elementary. In issuing its decision, the state's rights division said keeping the ban in place "creates an environment that is objectively and subjectively hostile, intimidating or offensive."
