New state law opens doors for transgender students
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | August 12, 2013 | Ellen Huet

Posted on 08/12/2013 6:16:32 PM PDT by artichokegrower

San Francisco -- Transgender students in California public schools will be allowed to participate in school groups and use school facilities based on their gender identities, turning a policy that several school districts already follow into statewide law.

AB 1266 will ensure that schools respect students' gender identity concerning sports teams, locker rooms, restrooms and all other "sex-segregated" programs and facilities. The bill, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday, was introduced by state Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco).

State law already prohibits discrimination in schools on the basis of gender identity, but backers of the measure say the extra clarity in the law will go a long way in making a growing population of transgender students feel comfortable and safe at school.

...a growing population

Sure...from 0.0001% to 0.00015% over the next 10 years.

The tyranny of the ultra-minority. This will do wonders for home-schooling. Until HUD forces you to teach trannies in your home.

When I was a kid growing up America, we didn’t have “transgender students”. Freaks with mental “issues”, yes, but no “transgender students.”

I can see half the men’s baseball team, declaring they are women, and demanding to play on the women’s team. Women’s volleyball too. After a hard practice ...let’s hit the showers gals (and guys).

It’s not often that I quote Ron Paul, but....

“Homosexuals, not to mention the rest of society, were much better off when social pressures forced them to hide their activities.”

We have literally driven off the insane bridge. What’s worse, Jerry will cruise to reelection, even though he is almost as dumb as Mark Dayton.

Add to this the other story about the US Air Force inviting and paying a “drag queen” group to perform on base, in order to celebrate “Diversity Day,” because (quote) it’s a “symbol of gay pride and unity.” Servicemen can’t have a Bible visible on a desk, but open worship of homosex is now virtually required.

America has become such a deviant, depraved sewer. It’s sick and twisted, seeing our once-great country so degraded, and fully embracing evil.

Young males will flood girls locker and shower rooms as well as restrooms. My kids are grown, but I’d pull my kids out of public schools.

I'd be on the girls wrestling team in a minute. There are thousands of old school buildings all over the country with plainly marked "Boys" entrances, "Girls" entrances, "Boys Rooms, "Girls Rooms" .... now will we need "Gay rooms," "Lesbian Rooms," "LBGT Boys," "LBGT Girls."

Then, while you're wrasslin' with the girls in the gymnasium, we gotta wrassle with this here serious architectural problem ... and I suppose you;ll want a shower afterwards ... which is another problem.

Academics? Readinj'? Writin'? Schools haven't even got time to tell the Trayvons to pull their pants up!

Hey when a boy joins your 6th grade daughters in the showers, remember that complaining is likely a hate crime.

But it won't. If a transgendered male hangs out in the girls' locker room, he is NOT respecting the gender identity of all the other girls in that locker room. They will not feel comfortable undressing in front of a boy. Doesn't matter what he thinks he would like to be, the girls will see a boy.

He and his parents are disrespecting all the other parents and girls who will be subjected to this invasion of their privacy.

This is perverted to sanction this with a new law.

Crazy. Can a doctor legally perform “transgender surgery” on a minor? When the kid turns 18 and changes his/her mind, can he/she sue the quack that disfigured him/her?

Luckily, this phase of cultural collapse burns itself out and only lasts a generation or so - see Carthage, Aztec Mexico, late Imperial Rome, Sodom...

Then comes the conquerors.

Hotwire many “transgender” people are there in California schools? Can’t be more than a few dozen in the entire state.

Hannity talked about this the other day ...

Its based on “feelings” - one day I could be Johhny, using the male facilities. Next day, I could be Johanna and the teachers would have to allow me access to the girl’s facilities.

AND, the teachers ARE NOT allowed to tell my parents that I might have identity issues that might require professional help.

ALSO, lets say I make some girl uncomfortable - ogling her in the girl’s locker room. She might tell her boyfriend, brother, or father - and I then get beat up. Then, I sue the school, the schoolboard, and the state for “forseeable consequences” and make a boatload of cash. The boyfriend, brother, or father gets charged with assault.

This is nonsense. Some girl’s parent will sue to get the law overturned on public safety issues. It’ll get to federal court eventually and the law might even be upheld by the 9th Circuit - but when it gets to SCOTUS, it’ll be struck down.

So, WHY even bother to pass this assinine law in the first place ...

WTF! Get outa town. You gotta be kiddin' me, right?

OK. OK. Here's how we're gonna handle that. Since the blind are an equally important minority, every kid in the school will have to wear light proof-eye patches.

Your Trayvon-type disrupters will be assigned to a high-speed school bus, the driver of which shall also be similarly equipped.

based on their gender identities,
There is no such thing as gender identities..
Not very long ago we called this exactly what it is. Mental Illness.
I can think I am, I can believe I am Tom Brady an NFL quarterback. I can go to my home and try to sleep with my wife. I will be arrested and eventually end up in a mental hospital.
This is no different.......
