Mummy , I want to go to an all girls school

Hi girls ,

I was driving past an exclusive all girls school the other day when my wife raised a question that has been on my mind for years.

If a 12 year old boy with accute gender dysphoria ( believing he's girl in a boys body ) wanted to go to an all girls school should he be allowed to
do so ??

In this day of equality and anti-discrimination could legal action be taken to force a girls school to accept a TG child ??

Where do you draw the line??

I think that you would have a few problems with the parents of the GSG's (genetic school girls) , they may take their childeren out of the school.
A separate toilet would have to be built or use the teachers toilet.

I dont know of any case where this has happened but I would be interested if it ever did occur .

This is a hypothetical thread , I'm not thinking of enrolling myself .









maybe next year
:lol:

I think that with proper a psycological analysis to support the childs transgenderism, he should be allowed to go to an all girls school. There have been a few instances in the news where the parents have let there child dress as a girl to go to a public school. These children went from troubled, barely making it, students, to more stable emotionally, and improved scholastically.

I haven't heard of any cases on this side of the world but I agree with you Donna , allowing them to attend if their psycological analysis supports transgenderism. !!!yes!!!

Here's a story like we were discussing.
When your gender doesn't match you

A family begins to emerge from years of secrecy and embark with
their 14-year-old on a journey to reveal the transgendered
child's true identity

In a quiet suburban home atop a picturesque hill in Washington
County, a family is beginning to reveal its heartbreaking
14-year secret.
