THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — The Colorado Civil Rights Division ruled that the action of Fountain-Fort Carson School District of banning a trans child from using the girl’s bathroom violated a state law that protects trans people.
The school, Eagleside Elementary School, near Colorado Springs, had initially let 6-year-old Coy Mathis use the girls’ bathroom but later the principal ordered her to stop using it. Her parents then withdrew her from school and filed a complaint with the civil rights division.
From the division’s ruling:
“Given the evolving research into the development of transgender persons, compartmentalizing a child as a boy or girl solely based on their visible anatomy is a simplistic approach to a difficult and complex issue. . . .
It also deprived her of the social interaction and bonding that commonly occurs in girls’ restrooms during these formative years, i.e., talking, sharing and laughter.”
Transgender Legal Defense’s Michael Silverman: “. . . this ruling sends a loud and clear message that transgender students may not be targeted for discrimination and that they must be treated equally in school.”

LEXIE CANNES STATE OF TRANS 
Its a shame that children get discriminated that way, the system is traumatizing and intimidating them for using a bathroom.
Even if they at least win such a process, its obvious that you never can use a bathroom without feeling bad in your life
Wrong assigned children should have the right to piss into the classroom and in the face of these people. What a turd-world.
I hope this girl will start a nice revenge some for this repressive exclusion one day.
I don´t think she is transgender, I think she is female.
A wrong assignment by the environment doesn´t finally change the gender of a person, it just shows the turdness and bad education of the environment.
You don’t think she’s transgender? What do you think transgender means? You’re right she is a female who was wrongly assigned as male…but that’s the definition of transgender!
i don’t think she’s transgender, either – she looks like a perfectly normal, perfectly adorable little girl. so maybe something didn’t develop as it should – has anyone run her DNA? possible she’s a chimera.
…you don’t think she’s transgender because she’s looks like a perfectly normal perfectly, adorable little girl? She is a perfectly normal adorable little girl! But that doesn’t mean she’s not trans. Words have definitions.
i’m 47 – way back in the day, a transgender person was strictly someone who had undergone medical procedures to physically convert to the opposite gender.
time to update my understanding, i see.
Oh I see. Yes, transgender now applies to anyone who identifies as a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth, regardless of whether or not the medically transition. That said though, I imagine that Coy will take female hormones when she reaches puberty age.
