I'm not sure if it's been addressed as I'm on page two, but your examples tend to the absurd.
Gender us a social construct and therefore capable of being changed.
Age is a number and not capable of being changed. We, as a society, agree to educate children of certain agrees in certain grades. Mental age doesn't change this (although some would argue for mixed age classrooms).
Scholarships for certain minority groups are designed to help those who have historically been underserved due to their race. Race in this case is determined by an individual's ancestry. It is possible for a white person to emulate black culture and vice versa, but that doesn't change eligibility for the scholarship. Hence my friend who is biracial is eligible for scholarships for Hispanic different despite looking Irish (due to her her mother's side).
Gender norms are currently being questioned as people become more aware of the middle space that many people occupy. It's not black and white. We should reflect in our rationale for gender divisions in locker rooms and determine the solution that is most accepting, IMO.
Also: how do kids go through life not seeing genitalia of the opposite sex? Dd had been known to play peekaboo with us while we shower. And good luck going port by yourself. I don't think she's been scarred by it...
I know you mean well but you aren't going to change her mind. She thinks they are just confused and mentally ill.
If this is what you pulled from my posts, you're the confused one.
I want to know how she knew this. If any women in my locker room are packing a penis, I have no idea. I don't look at their crotch. And I'm willing to bet that a transgendered person isn't exactly bold about the fact that they're actually the opposite sex.
Also, she apparently doesn't mind humiliation and ruining her reputation, as she continues to make an ass of herself, so that's rich.
She said she could "just tell" it was a "man".
The transgender woman in this case came forward and said that she was the person Ms. Cormier was targeting.
I don't think her name appears in the link and even though it's been made public, I'm no going to write her name here. She has also received threats.
