The policies must be consistent, this can even hold up in court. And was this student informed that he had to be registered as a boy in order to participate in such a contest? I doubt it. Especially since it is obvious he was allowed to be considered a boy without being registered as one in other things. Some school rules are based on outdated traditions and should be challenged. If there was a school rule that girls had to wear dresses or skirts to school, I would expect this rule to be challenged whole heartedly. There is no harm at all in allowing a boy who was born a girl to be homecoming king. The contest is for the students in the first place, and obviously they wanted it.
Having the homecoming king be a boy is not an outdated tradition. Having to write special rules to encompass every crackpot idea kids come up with is silly. Truth is, the school will probably buckle. If it was MY school district, I'd want it to. Why waste money on such a ridiculous litigation?
Translation: "La la la la la I can't hear you!"So you can't answer the questions. Next time just say that.
Oh, for Christ's sake. Now it's the pursuit of happiness. It's not about that! It's about teaching kids that rules matter. Anyone wonder why a kid gets out of high school and can't hold down a job because he can't accept authority? Electing a girl for homecoming king does absolutely nothing to make the world a better place. I think your premise is beyond ridiculous.
turn the situation around. If it was a guy, born a guy, who said he thought he was a girl. How many of you would want "her" in the locker room, restroom, etc with your daughter?
Translation: "La la la la la I can't hear you!"
I did. You can't deal with the answers, so you ran away. Not my problem. :mrgreen:Answer my questions.
I gave you two. You ducked both of them.

Incorrect. Your apostrophe does not change the noun in any way shape or form. Gender is defined as sex. There is no middle ground.
Why the hell is this an issue? These are kids who decided for themselves that they wanted a transgender individual to represent them as their homecoming king. What grounds does the school have to enforce gender roles on its students? Why must the school be "consistent with gender'?
Also, do you really think the qualifications to be a heart surgeon are the same to be a homecoming king for a high school? Or do you really think this transgender's lack of a Y chromosome inhibits their ability to be a homecoming king in the same that your lack of education in medicine inhibits your ability to perform surgery? Hyperbole anyone?
Men have a membrane that separates the halves of the brain that females do not have. I wrote a paper for a college psych class that relates the differences between the brains of the sexes. You don't want to read what I wrote for a source, so I direct you to:
Are There Differences between the Brains of Males and Females?
Or teaching kids that adults lose their minds over silly ****. I bet if we could talk to the kids, that would be their response.
And this has no bearing on kids and their employment future. Thinking it does is beyond rediculous IMHO.
The BEST thing it could teach them is about the process of complaint. It is not silly **** to insist that a girl isn't eligible to be elected to a boy's position. While I agree that the school has already bent the rules, there are lines. There are rules in life that get bent allll the time for very good reasons. If you don't think it's important that your child learn the difference, then that's on you.
I think the process was "adults freaking out about silly **** and ruining everything for the kids in order to make some ridiculous point."I think it is silly ****. And what process was used here to teach with. Maybe I missed it.

and just how did not allowing this kid to be homecoming king ruin everything? did they cancel homecoming over it? as has been said, it's not that big a deal and I doubt that many of the kids at that school actually gave a rat's ass who the homecoming king and queen were.
No, that's not true at all. It said ONE sex, not one's sex. So the possessive changes everything. It means that one can have one sex, and another gender. The very definition YOU posted makes that patently clear.
