Transgender HS student wants to use female locker room

Quote:Sure, you'd like to think that.  The problem is it's difficult for any of us to understand what it's like for a transperson.  To feel like you're in the wrong body.  Being forced to use the unisex bathroom makes her feel like she's not 'normal'.  This can't make sense to most of us, because we can't understand what it's like for her.  I know some people will say she's not 'normal'.  I very much disagree.  My wife's uncle's friend had a trans-child, who was pretty much as normal as they come.  Unfortunately like many transgender people, she killed herself.


Perhaps the ideal solution would be to stop having all students change into gym clothes.  It cuts into valuable gym time anyway.
 

The text I bolded is at the heart of the matter. As foreign the situation may be to most of us, a transperson does not feel at all normal with the genitalia with which they were born or the societal norm in which they live.
