Missouri Transgender Student

A transgender senior in high school asked to be able to use the girls bathroom and locker room and is now being shamed for this. She started to identify as a girl last Febuary and over the summer got permission to use the girl facilities in her school. However, she dropped out of her P.E. class because she felt that she was not wanted in the girls locker room. The students at the school are not taking her request well, and on Monday organized a protest against it. She hopes that this will blow over because she "doesn't want her senior year to be like this". I can see both sides of the situation, on one hand a person just wants to be herself and be able to use what ever restroom she would like, but on the other hand it might make the other girls uncomfortable because it is something so new to them. I think that she should ultimately be able to do what she wants without getting bullied for who she is.
