were was the outrage about that, he should have been arrested, or at least condemned for it gerrrrrrrrrrr.
this is why no one of us is surprised by stories of terrible unthinkable crimes perpetrated on us, then frustrated at being condemned for wanting laws that protect us, saying we want "special rights", special rights? yes esp when your singled out for special wrongs.
I just read another trans person was found shot dead in a Philadelphia park this morning.
lets be safe out there, and be thankful we have each other.

I get this kind of rubbish all the time too.. some days I'm allowed to use one set of facilities and others I'm not.. so I take the only alternative and keep my money in my pocket and go elsewhere.
Well done by the school for at least attempting to resolve the situation.. I think they were motivated by the safety of the child rather than any malicious non thinking. There.. it's set me off now trying to second guess motives.

Yeah, the grandfather is a nut job and telling his grandson that its alright to disobey the law?
He's just setting up the stage for some major problems down the road.
Seriously, if I was there I would read him the riot act! I'd also seek to have the custody of the child removed from him and place the child in a different school some distance away from the young lady for safety reasons.
But the school seems to be doing a good job by the young lady. (thank god, finally a school acts like it understands)

The link to the BDN article no longer works but the gist of the story is provided in the link provided by Ghanima Corrino.
I'm glad to hear that some progress has been made in this situation. What's particularly disturbing are the comments made at the bottom of the article. While there were some positive comments, most were not. It appears that bigotry is still alive and well in the state of Maine
