Yes, we are talking about a human being.  If the boy wants to dispute his role in society and claim that he is a she, that's his burden.  The fact of the matter is that he's male and should either use the male facilities or opt for the "gender neutral" facilities.

 

In my opinion, society should not be forced to accept this boy as being a girl based on his belief or "feelings".  He either should use the boy's locker room or use the provided gender neutral facilities provided to him.

 

I will say this with regards to the subject of the OP, and I know that this won't be taken well.  If a 13 year old boy wants to "identify" as a girl and starts living as a girl, then something is really wrong with him.  It would be interesting to see this kid's parents (assuming he has both).

 

Think back to when you were 13.  For me it's several years back, but for some on here, think back to what it was like at that age and what led up to that.
