The boy can wear anything he wants, there are no laws preventing it. But there are also no laws requiring the other kids and parents to accept it.

If they were worried about the child at ALL they wouldn't be doing it in the middle of the school year, and could drastically lessen the impact on EVERYONE's life if they waited a month, and let him start school next year with his new identity, and clothing.. But there's a reason they want to do it now.

And I'm sorry, at 8, I doubt this kid has a clue as to what he wants. It's fairly obvious as to what the parents and the school want however.

now what's sad, is they are forcing this kid to be accepted, he's probably going to get his butt whooped on the playground. The little 8 year old boy that does it will probably be charged with a hate crime, and labeled a sexual offender. All because they chose to force acceptance on everyone despite their background, their beliefs, or their morals and values.

Every time the shim gets made fun of they are going to have "zero Tolerance" and 8 year olds are going to be punished accordingly, severly, ruthlessly and without quarter!

"You will accept this as normal OR ELSE!!"

You're right...it's obvious. They want to respect the wishes of the child. I'm just guessing here, but I bet they know their child better than anyone on this forum.

So your only beef is with them asking other kids not to tease?

no, my beef is them trying to force their deviant idea of normal on others who have their own ideal of normal.

We aren't asking the one family to change their ideals, values or morals, but asking 99% of the population to change theirs.

I believe it's his right to decide who he does or doesn't hang out with. I don't see him on here saying they are all crooks, or pedophiles, or should be in jail or stoned with blocks and bricks.. or that they are all going to hell because they like puffing on a white owl every now and then.


I don't even see any intolerance in what he says.

I think was is distasteful is people forcing others to accept what they accept or are, and calling them hateful and intolerant if they don't.
go read the other gay related threads and let me know what you think then...

An 8 year old?? I doubt that very much.

My 2 year old wants to drive my 24 HP tractor, should I respect his wishes too?

Oh, my bad. I didn't realize they sent a letter home saying all the little boys and girls had to switch how they dressed.

beacuse he can stand when he pees.

So which bathroom should he use, if he's a she?

Would you like him to be using the same bathroom as your daughter when he's 12, 13? How about 14?

I'm sure it wouldn't be proper for him to use a boys room or a mens room, That would hurt his self esteem and her self value. Ruin all the work they've done so far.

No, just accept the boy that wears dresses and wants to be called Jill, no matter if you find it acceptable or not.


Are the parents going to be given the choice of enrolling their child in a different school or class if they find this unacceptable? No.. They can pull their children out of school and send them private, IF they can afford it. otherwise, accept it, shut up and put your kids on the bus, because tomorrow we are going to be teaching them about Trannies and will be taking a field trip to pick up cross dressing hookers.
