This is such an unfortunate case. I wish this child could go and feel supported and nurtured in her school like her siblings. I wonder what prompted the school to make a stink in the first place?
How this is handled in high school, considering students also have to dress for PE/ sports in the locker room. There is not much privacy but I am thinking they should still have stalls available? Or am I remembering the locker room incorrectly.

They didn't have stalls for dressing in my school, but some of the more embarrassed girls would change in the bathroom stalls.
Usually there are bathrooms in locker rooms, where one could use a stall to change. I did this because I was embarrassed about my weight and I don't remember anyone thinking it was weird.
i know that this is superficial and trivial, but i keep thinking about billy's best friend in billy elliot. not that he was transgender, but he was a cross-dresser. at a young age, in an inhospitable community.
great. now i'm teary for this little girl and i want to go watch a musical.
This whole thing is so ridiculous. I find it highly unlikely that a child that young thinks that it should be a member of the opposite gender. This is the parent's doing.

"it"? disgusting.
i'm pretty sure that most ex-marines don't go about trying to make their boys into girls. nor do their spouses. or, for that matter, most accountants, construction workers, ballet dancers, telephone line repair workers, or SAHMs. you know, since being transgendered is kinda a rough life.

Maybe not "most" but it seems "some" do. Or at least these parents.

I went to high school with a transgender girl who identified as a boy,I'm pretty sure he used the boy's restroom without major issues.Which is surprising considering how conservative my hometown is.
I never heard much about him after graduation but from my understanding he was saving up money for gender reassignment surgery.
Have you ever noticed how little a troll reveals about who they are? You can always spot them. I doubt Suzy is even a woman.
What would you like to know about me?
Are you a woman, your age, your ccupation, children, location of country. But if you are a troll you will need to keep track of your responses -long memories around here - that is why I have come to believe the trolls are almost always intentionally vague.

Yes, 25, staff at a law firm, 0, mid-west. I guess that is still vauge, but your questions were vauge as well.
As far as the standing to pee, I would guess she never does. In older MTF trans, sitting to pee is one of the behaviors easy to change to make you feel less masculine. Kids that age can also be really about not doing something perceived as the opposite gender's activity. "I can wear blue. That's for boooooys." So I really really doubt other girls are going to see her whip out a penis to pee in the sink.
For FTM, there's a latex penis to use to feel more masculine and allow someone to stand to pee. These are considered medical devices. My roommates wanted to get me one to use the trough at the gay bar I'm thankful I've had people in my life close enough to tell me about such things. The few trans acquaintances I've had have been all "ask me anything" and meant it.
I get it, ttt. It's hard to wrap your brain around. I struggled. And it's still in the DSM, primarily, as I understand it, to get insurance and government (eg in the case of prison) to pay. But, I just have to accept that every person I've talked with felt so strongly the disconnect before they even particularly understood what gender is. I have to trust that they just know, even if I don't understand the how, and they probably couldn't tell you either.

I implied last year sometime that your age was probably indicated in your siggy and you denied it. But whatevs I guess.

Truth? I'd totally be OK with this kid using the same restroom as my daughter. We need less people squat-peeing over girls' restroom seats leaving a disgusting mess for the next person.
Sooz... I hope you realize you're setting yourself up one doozy of a load of karma. Let us know when Soozy-Princess announces her bisexuality.
And pixy0stixMrsAxilla... WTF is wrong with Colorado lately? Not a month goes by where we aren't in the center of some weird, controversial shit.
