Transgender Girl's Parents Lobby for Her Right to Use the Bathroom

The parents of a 6-year-old transgender girl who has been banned from using the girls’ bathroom at her Fountain, Colorado public school have filed a formal discrimination complaint with the aid of a lawyer—and are using the opportunity to speak out publicly in support of their child.

“The more you talk about something, the more awareness and acceptance there is,” Kathryn Mathis, mother of first grader Coy, who was born a boy, told Yahoo! Shine. “We’re really just trying to make it known what the school has done and make them accountable.”

The family has filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Division. It will be investigated, and if either party is unhappy with the outcome, the next step would be a lawsuit.

Kathryn and Jeremy, a full-time student and disabled veteran, have four other children, including a set of triplets, one of which is Coy. Kathryn explained on "Katie" that Coy, a Girl Scout who loves pink, began gravitating toward girls’ toys and clothes by 18 months. Gender eventually turned into a bigger issue when Coy asked, at age 4, “When are we going to go to the doctor to get me fixed so I can be a girl?” A psychologist confirmed then that Coy was indeed transgender, at which point, noted Jeremy, “We really needed to let Coy be who she was.”

They have already had the surgery? Then why would they be banned from the bathroom with "compatible parts?"

Because some wacked out parents and witchdoctor "psychologist" say so?

uh oh, the science is black magic crowd has their torches and pitchforks out.

I think you may be jumping prematurely. And calling psycology "science" is disrespectful to scientists.

At a bare minimum I would want a concensus of phycologists to agree before sending him to school dressed as a girl or before cutting his dick off.

No, they would never be allowed to do that until the kid was old enough to legally decide. Imagine the horror when they found out it was only a phase.

calling psychology a science is not disrespectful to scientists. source: i'm a scientist and don't feel disrespected.

Or I think more accurately, imagine the disappointment on the parents part, if they found out it was only a phase.

You honestly think this is solely because the parents are disappointed they had a boy after having so many other girls?

Or maybe they wanted an interesting one that would make them popular with their progressive friends.
