A 13-year-old transgender boy from Woodcliff Lake described feeling isolated as he watched friends do something as simple as going to the bathroom at school, while he used a restroom in the nurse’s office.
Other North Jersey teenagers said they wondered whether they were alone before they researched what it means to be transgender. A 7-year-old girl expressed questions about her gender identity, and her parents are helping her find out whether she is a boy or a girl. And an 11-year-old boy who has been bullied drew a self-portrait as half boy and half girl.
“This is how I feel,” he wrote on the picture.
They are at the heart of the debate that’s raging nationally and locally over laws and educational policies related to transgender people. Last week, the Pascack Valley Regional High School District joined at least a dozen other North Jersey districts by adopting a policy allowing students to use restrooms based on gender identity. North Carolina recently enacted a law that does just the opposite, requiring people to use bathrooms based on the gender on their birth certificate.
The debate over these policies and laws has been emotional. Some people opposed to Pascack Valley’s policy expressed concerns about privacy rights for students who were not transgender. Some transgender students and their families framed the discussion as being about civil rights. One parent said it was about “fundamentally accepting our children for who they are.”
To help put a face on the people most affected by the debate, The Record interviewed a young adult and, with the permission and participation of their parents, five young people who are either transgender or questioning their true gender identity.

Really?
It is NOT possible to describe how many people have shunned me for being conservative for 30+ years. Tell me all about it.
Total inanity and insanity
... her parents are helping her find out whether she is a boy or a girl....
The thing to do is just look.
I am betting these perplexed people are not Trump voters.
Really? She’s 7 and this is what’s going on in her mind. BULLCR*P!
There is no such THING. These people need electrical shock treatments that cured thousands and thousands through the 1980s!! I studied this in great detail and I assure you this is a MENTAL DISORDER!! It is driven by Satan!! We all know that!!
BLECHHH
Read Matthew.....Jesus said...."some men are born that way, some are made that way by other men....." etc.... Makes one think!!
I live in NJ. The problem is people stopped getting their ass kicked when they were younger. Now everyone is a snowflake. I think everyone needs to get their ass kicked at least once and know what its like to be poor for a short time. It builds character and you learn a thing or two. I got the sh*t beat out of me by a gang of kids, you know what? I’m glad because I made sure it never happened again!
sickos raised by sick parents .
These are North Korean children at hard labor.
I condone nothing about their lives or their treatment, but it is a dead certainty that none of them have ever had the first fleeting thought about 'gender fluidity.'
Transgenderism is a figment of the imagination limited almost exclusively to affluent, nay, decadent Western societies where masculinity and femininity have both been under constant assault along with the headlong rush to eliminate religion, especially as an expression of morality.
Fixed it.
I couldn’t even read the first sentence before wanting to comment:
“A 13-year-old transgender boy from Woodcliff Lake described feeling isolated .... “
My reply:
Act normal.
sickos raised by sick parents .
It is Official Liberal Institutionalized Sicko-ism.
if they raised their kid right the son would not be where he is
