It is unfair to everyone to act as if a boy is really a girl just because he wants to call himself one. It would be equally unfair to insist that everyone with XY chromosomes be treated like a boy, when the afflicted person may not even know she has XY chromosomes.

Regardless of what their agenda or malfunction is it doesn't entitle them to abuse other people, and an attitude adjustment appears to be in order.

I never said that a person suffering from a genetic or mental disorder should be allowed to abuse others. Clearly, the boy in the article is claiming to be "transgendered" in order to gain unfettered access to girl-only areas. This is a clear kind of abuse that is predictable in this environment where every mental illness related to sexuality is something to be celebrated rather than treated.

However, there are a small number of people who have the XY chromosomes yet are physically female. They are not "transgenders"--they have a genetic disorder, and may not even know it. A policy that treats everyone as boys on the basis of XY chromosomes would be unfair and abusive to these individuals.

Who ever examines their own chromosomes? I’m a trained biologist and have never looked to be sure I really have a Y chromosome.
