Mass. Education Department issues rules on transgender pupils

The state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education issued directives Friday ­for handling transgender students, including allowing them to use the bathrooms or play on the sports teams that correspond to the gender with which they identify.

The guidance was issued to help schools follow the state’s 2011 antidiscrimination law protecting transgender people.

This goes a bit too far - a 13 year old boy who identifies as a girl, but has male anatomy, is supposed to change in the same group changing room as 13 year old girls who are developing breasts and just starting to wear bras?  That is ridiculous.  And are they in some locations expected to be allowed to use the group shower together?

Wow.

So all "non-transgenders" must be made uncomfortable so that a transgender isn't?

The degeneracy of the left is astonishing...

 

 

Simply incredible.  Almost like the kid in middle school who tried to convince the teachers he was gay so he could shower in the girls locker room.  Only those teachers were smart enough to say no.
