I can’t wait for the first “confused” boy that drops a deuce in the girls restroom.

let’s not have special schools to handle students who do not fit the standard description

Wasn't there a school built in NYC 4-5 years ago specifically for gays?

Yep, found it. Harvey Milk High School http://www.wnd.com/2003/07/19991/

But, noooo. We have to allow boys into the girls showers - Here, let me help you with that soap. What's Whoopie going to say about those rapes?

Since medical records are protected, the school probably can’t get any proof of the sex change, so they most likely will just be allowed to use either bathroom.

The schools have a copy of their BC when they registered for K or 1st grade. There's a blank with F or M filled in countless times on their record. If a student went by Lance last year but by Lacy this year, then something is up.

Back into the closet!

Sure, but Lance could just say SHe is Lucy now and use the girls bathroom...

What about the vegisexuals?
Who will guarantee the rights of the vegisexuals?
For shame.

How many transgendered pupils does a typical high school have at any one time?

[wildbill]

I tried several searches on the internet to find out the percentage of transgendered people in the general population. The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta did a study a few years ago that showed the percentage of homosexuals was about 2-3%. True transgendered would be a fraction of that.

One European study showed 1 in 37,000. Another study cited in the New York times found 1 in 500. Truly, no one know the exact number, but it must be very small.

Therefore, maintaining separate but equal facilities for this tiny, but vocal, minority will probably be very expensive. Can you imagine the cost of building a separate bathroom in a school that may not have a single transgendered student? Is this a realistic solution to a suspect problem?

Liberals love to feel good about themselves without regard to the costs to folks who might not agree with their profigate spending.

Yep what could possibly go wrong with this policy.
