HIGHLANDS RANCH – The issue of being transgender usually pops up with students in high school. However, a 3rd grade boy wants to dress as a girl and wants teachers and students to address him with a girl's name. "As a public school system, our calling is to educate all kids no matter where they come from, what their background is, beliefs, values, it doesn't matter," said Whei Wong, Douglas County Schools spokesperson. Wong says the staff at one of Douglas County's schools is preparing to accommodate the student and answer questions other students might have. In order to protect the child as much as possible, 9NEWS has chosen not to reveal his school or other names that might identify the child. "I see this as being a very difficult situation to explain to my daughter to explain why someone would not want to be the gender they were born with," said Dave M. His daughter will be in the same class as the student. The student had attended this same school in years prior, but had left to go to classes in another district for about two years. The transgender student will be returning to what is the child's home school. Dave M. thinks classmates will recognize the change. "I do think that there's going to be an acknowledgement that 'Why are you in a dress this year when you were in pants last year?'" said Dave M. Wong says teachers are planning to address the student by name instead of using he or she. The child will not use the regular boys or girls bathroom. Instead, two unisex bathrooms in the building will be made available. The school is handing out packets to parents who have questions. The packets contain information about people who are transgender.

Children with mental illnesses need to be cut off from society. Thinking you are not of the gender that your chromazones dictate is no different than hearing voices in your head, demanding that you kill. Why can't he just go "I'm a dude that likes to cook and wear dresses". I'm fine with that.

>>667336 You know there are people who have mental disorders where they think they're a duck or some such, yeah?
Do we go to them, "Well, Johnny, biologically you're a human. However, we're tolerant to your trans-speciesism. Here's some bits of broken bread, someone will be along to take you the park's pond shortly."
"Quack, quack, quack."
"There's a good mallard."
No. No, we don't. What I don't get is why it should suddenly be done when the subject of consideration is gender instead of species.

>>667353 That's more or less the argument against gay marriage (by those who aren't idiot bible thumpers). If marriage between 2 men is okay... and 2 women is okay... why not a marriage between 2 men and 3 women? A 5-way marriage.
It's a matter of "where do you draw the line?"

>>667361 My argument against gay marriage is that marriage is a religious ceremony strictly defined as a union between a man and a woman, blessed by God.
My view is that the State has no right to meddle in religious rituals and dogma if they're said practices aren't harming anyone. Seperation of Church and State goes both ways, y'know?
I have no objection to gay civil marriages though, nor of people having multiple partners if they choose.
But that's me.

Marrage should be extended to gays, why shouldnt it? Respect for that kind of union is nonexsistant these days, so how can you hide behind that excuse?

The main reason for opposing gay marriage is the fear of having your children brainwashed into being fruits, and I respect that veiw.

And marriage ceased to be a religious ceremony when it got tax benefits and insurance sharing and all kinds of stuff. Now, if you want to make marriage a purely religious thing, and all the state ever gives anyone is "Civil Unions" that would be fine. But if the state gives some people "marriage" licenses and other people "civil unions" then you have discrimination.

what in the fuck fuck all these posts and whatever tangent is current why the fuck do people accomodate mental illness to such an extent? you are what you are, and there's no point in attempting to become something that you aren't. transgenders: you are men (or women, oh you wily and all-too-ignored female transgenders). You always were, and you always will be, albeit a bit mangled if you so choose to be. All the pills in the world cannot replace your original programming.

The kid might just be screwing around. Gender confusion and homosexuality usually become clear when the child hits puberty, and I doubt he's been held back for 4/5 years.

>>669123 Actually, speaking of that, there's an interesting study from Germany that has a lot of evidence in favor of a biological cause for homosexuality.
Basically, to sum it up: The generation of German males born after WWII had higher than normal percentages of homosexuals. Scientists concluded that high amounts of stress placed on pregnant women during wartime caused them to produce abnormally high levels of estrogen, causing male children to be born homosexual.

People... this isn't about sexual preference. Its about gender identity. Those are two separate issues. Although I think that third grade is maybe too young to let him/her make this decision for himself/herself.
