Last week, anti-LGBTQ group the Pacific Justice Institute started a conservative media firestorm with its claim that a transgender teenager in Colorado was harassing her classmates in the girls bathroom. The allegations, after being picked up by Fox News and other right-wing media outlets, were quickly debunked by a transgender advocacy group that reached out to the schools superintendent, who explained that no harassment had occurred. In reality, the complaint stemmed from one area mother who objected to the schools policy allowing transgender students to use facilities that correspond to their gender identity.
After having its lie exposed, PJI issued a statement explaining that the very presence of a transgender teenager in the girls bathroom is inherently intimidating and harassing, and, in a separate statement, said the organization would be standing by our allegations.
The core issue is that this school is giving this transgender youth full access to both boys and girls facilities, and they are showing little if any regard for the privacy rights of other students, PJI staff attorney Matthew McReynolds told the National Review. We have received additional reports of specific, inappropriate statements made by this student, and we are working to corroborate those reports.
As a result of PJIs false accusations, a 16-year-old girl became a national target for transphobic vitriol, harassment and death threats. This weekend, her family spoke with the Transadvocate about the experience and the toll its taken on their daughter:

Pretty damned wimpy of that Supe.
(And I mean damned in earnest here. This is not blasphemy.)
The missing element is the love of God, which in turn is not acting because it is being rejected. Without that comes all kinds of crazy warped loves. And backboneless men.
Proof that the American people think that they truly believe in “sexual freedom”
What we have here is a boy that may have some less common talents and gifts, that society often associates with girls. Maybe he likes to play with dolls. Maybe he likes to cook.
THAT DOES NOT EXCUSE TURNING THIS BOY INTO A GIRL, OR RATHER TRYING TO
He’s not even full grown yet by modern standards. (I could digress into biblical standards, but I’m pointing out an inconsistency here.) They will want to wait till he’s 21 to give him beer, but not to do this weird thing!
Yeah - it sounds as though the story is not a lie at all - but rather that the Superintendent was pressured into saying there was no harassment. Also it sounds as though were girls on sports teams threatened if they didn’t keep quiet??
Yeah, the chaos.
You claim PJI’s actions were not legitimate.
What actions are you referring to?
WTF is a ‘transgender activist’?
LGTBQP=FUBAR
“Questioning”. Queer is more descriptive, however
We don’t even have to go there. The admission that “some pigs are more equal than others” is an a priori admission of harassment.
Good anaology of how language changes meanings as society sinks into the muck - blew the original tranny and ended up working with a shop to put the Vette rock crusher tranny in...
In California, parents are so upset by this that they are pulling their kids out of school. Perhaps parents who are upset in Colorado should do the same thing.
