    For those that want the school to provide separate facilities for the boy (sorry Denny, but girls don't have penises), you should know that is a problem for existing school buildings.

    If the voters of a school district want to provide transgender bathrooms in a new school, that's ok. Restrooms are expensive, but if the majority say that's what they want, that's what the school district should build. (Keep in mind that one transgender facility probably isn't going to do it. In elementary schools, the kids tend to move to different wings as they progress through school. So, the you would need to build 2-3, or more, of these to accommodate that movement.) Once the transgender student moves on to middle school, those restrooms either are taken out of service, so they don't require daily service, or they are a burden on the custodial staff. (Unless another transgender student comes into the elementary before the first one leaves.

    In existing buildings, the number of boy's and girl's restrooms is set relative to the number of boys and girls at the school. To take one of a pair of gang restrooms out of service to accommodate one person will leave in insufficient number of stalls/urinals to service the school population. Saying to just add one is problematic. In an existing building, the new facilities need to be located near hot and cold water supplies, and waste piping. If there is no easy location, then the floor of the building has to be torn up to get to the waste piping. Most older schools have one, sometimes two, one-hole staff restrooms. Most elementary schools have at least 20 staff, with the teachers having a common time to use the facilities (between class times.) Taking one of the staff restrooms to service one student is a problem.

    Some girls do have penises. That's why they are transgendered.

    You've been quoting that California has been supporting transgender for elementary schools for years, yet I haven't found one elementary school that supports this. Do you have other sources that support your claim?

    I find it odd that we're calling this little boy a "girl" because that's how he identifies? So now we're stereotyping behaviors, behaviors this little boy follows, as being "girl" behavior?

    I know women who partake in more "manly" things than most men, but clearly, they are still women and identify themselves as women. These women actually have the anatomy/physiology of a woman.

    The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has had a similar approach in place for almost a decade. Our policy has helped transgender students feel comfortable, rather that isolated, at school. We made sure that students can use bathrooms that correspond to their gender identity. We have helped them join the appropriate gym classes and sports teams.

    And we have watched these students thrive.

    It's not just about behavior, though. Allegedly, Coy "self-identified" as a girl as early as Coy was able to speak, and stated at the age of 4 that, "something is wrong with my body". This, by the way, is the part that my ignorant brain has difficulty understanding. Perhaps it's different when one is a triplet, but I have yet to meet the 4-year-old that is self-aware enough--and comprehends gender differences well-enough--to be able to determine that he or she should be one gender or the other.

    I have long felt like something is wrong with me or my body. I've long felt I was different. I've always assumed (and been told) everyone has those kinds of thoughts. I dunno, it's a hard sell. Maybe I'd feel differently about this one case if I actually knew the child. But without that experience, I can't say anything for sure.

    Is this boy part of a "triplet" birth? Could it be possible that this boy dresses like a girl to be different from the other two kids?

    Yes, part of a triplet birth--the other two are a boy and a girl. The girl (Lily) is severely brain-damaged and has quadriplegic cerebral palsy; the other boy (Max) is "on the autism scale", and the older sister (Dakota) is 2 years older and also autistic. Coy is the only "neuro-typical" one of their first four children (there's also a fifth child who is presently, I believe, two years old), excepting the gender-identity issue.

    In fairness to your parents, look how shitty the world has become since that movement.
