Missouri transgender teen Lila Perry began to feel like a girl when she was 13 and started appearing as one in school this year when classes began in August.
The 17-year-old Hillsboro High School senior wears skirts, makeup and a long wig styled with bobby pins. She even started using the girls’ locker room to change for gym class, despite the school’s offer of a single-occupancy restroom.
“I am a girl. I am not going to be pushed away to another bathroom,” she told CNN affiliate KPLR. “It wasn’t too long ago white people were saying, ‘I don’t feel comfortable sharing a bathroom with a black person,’ and history repeats itself.”
In less than two weeks, however, it became clear she was not welcome in the locker room.
Because Perry has male anatomy, many students simply see her as a boy in a wig changing in the girls’ locker room — and that makes them uncomfortable. They whispered about her in hallways, complained to faculty and told their parents, who brought it up at the school board meeting on August 27.
In a petition read aloud, one parent asked the board to stop extending privileges to “confused teenagers who want to be something they are not sexually” at other students’ expense. Another parent, insinuating that the board was avoiding liability, asked which side it would support if he sues them for violating his right to “parent” as he chooses.
When they didn’t get the response they had hoped for, a group of students organized a walkout Monday with their parents’ support. By then, Perry had already dropped gym class, fearing for her safety, her friend Skyla Thompson said. Perry declined to speak to CNN for this story.
Students can use single occupancy bathrooms or unisex faculty bathrooms if they want, but it should be a choice, not a directive, said Alison Gill, senior legislative counsel for the Human Rights Campaign. Forcing students to use different bathrooms further stigmatizes them, placing them at greater risk for harassment. Logistically, depending on its location, it can also be inconvenient.
I know this is a sensitive issue and all, but here at Turtleboy Sports we don’t care if you’re offended. And I’m sorry, but this is a pretty simple situation – a human being with a penis wants to change in the girl’s locker room and that can’t happen. It’s PC on steroids.
Ever since transgender became the new cause celebre for social justice warriors, we’ve been told that gender and sex are different. Sex is determined by whether or not you possess a dinky-doodle. Gender is a social construct that is in your brain. Sure, whatever you say. It doesn’t matter because bathrooms and locker rooms are separated by gender, not sex. If this kid gets to use the girls locker room then everyone should get to. There’s literally no point of having boys and girls locker rooms. Because the whole purpose of segregating bathrooms is so that girls aren’t forced to look at schlongs and boys don’t get to look at hoo-hoos.
What pisses me off is that the school district has gone out of their way to make a “gender neutral” bathroom, that’s basically a private changing room for this student, but it’s still not good enough. Because at this point this is only about making a point. You know what that tells me? This kid is just being an asshole.
SJW’s everywhere will tell you that this is about not being stigmatized. Newsflash – it’s a teenager with an Adam’s apple, a wig, and a deep voice who wears skirts to school. They were stigmatized a long time ago.
The most insane part about all of this is that the rights of girls in that locker room who feel uncomfortable are being completely ignored because of the PC police. I would imagine it’s hard enough for some teenage girls to feel comfortable changing in a locker room full of other teenage girls, what with the adverse effects of puberty and all. But who gives a shit about them right? After all, we live in a world where a 65 year old man in a dress, who just committed manslaughter, gets an award for bravery.
Look, this isn’t the same thing as gay rights or civil rights or anything like that, so spare me the false equivalencies. Gay people and black people wanted to break down barriers that segregated them from everyone else. But the entire purpose of having boys and girls bathrooms is to segregate. And the basis of that segregation is whether or not you have the ability to use a urinal, which this student does.

If someone wants to tell me (and I’ve been told by a few friends in the medical field) that the rationale is that the best treatment for someone suffering from this particular type of body dysmorphic disorder is to just play along because it’s the best known available treatment, that’s fine, but my concern is that as this becomes some social justice crusade, researchers and doctors will be told not to look for a cure or more effective treatment. If you want to help someone, just letting them say they’re whatever they want and making everyone else play along isn’t really in anyone’s best interest. Fixing the underlying problem is in everyone’s best interest and we need to make sure that being politically correct doesn’t prevent researchers from looking for more effective treatments than “nobody say what everyone is thinking”
In the meantime…… Que the cameras
The refusal of the private bathroom (at least until he has his parts changed) tells it all.
Prediction; this is all a stunt and he’ll never fully go thru with this.
Desperately seeking attention. Never got the attention he craved growing up. So he’ll disrupt countless lives and cost money to taxpayers. This is driven by the media and the liberals. He’s self centered and self absorbed but enabled by the media.
Do any animals in the animal kingdom identify with the other gender. No. Do some animals practice gay sex. Yes. Somehow that tells it all, remember Bruce Jenner took steroids for years and has to use feminine products for his chemically imbalanced hormones. It’s a mental disease these people need treatment only science sorry if this hard to swallow for some but we shouldn’t lie to ourselves.
While I m sympathetic to the struggle of transgender people – we have a close family friend struggling with it now – I think there needs to be some compromise on the part of the transgendered. Because this is such a new phenomenon, it makes sense that society will need to ease into acceptance. I think offering gender-neutral bathrooms is a sensible solution for now and for transgender people to refuse to comply with such concessions will only make it harder to generate sympathy and understanding for their position. Change takes time…
Utilitarianism: greatest good for the greatest number. sorry kid, take your dick and beat it
Fart boxes come in all shapes and sizes…
That’s all I got 🙁
Don’t leave the possum hungin
Regardless of all the political bullshit & the craziness of this story the bottom line is if you have a PENIS you go in the mens room if you have a VAGINA you go in girls room.. Enough said…. The fact that this is an issue is fucked in itself my god what a ludacris world we live in..
He has been dressing in the boys locker room until now. Put on your skirt there and hit the court. You have a wiener. Please explain why changing your undies with the girls helps your issue. Girls did not like you, now boys know you are an attention seeking ass. Grow up and go smoke some pot like a regular misfit. Nobody will care in a week.
He’s a guy and needs to get over himself. Better yet his parents need to take this kid to a good psychiatrist! The kid is mentally ill.
“After all, we live in a world where a 65 year old man in a dress, who just committed manslaughter, gets an award for bravery.”
Talk about defining the issue in a nutshell…
S/he actually looks good for 65. The low hanging fruit (pun intended) is reality tv. When is that joke going to surface?
There’s a reality tv person that is in reality a tv.
Where’s COB????
COB would not partake.
When mental illnesses are considered normal behavior this is what ya get.
Absolutely right! Shit like this used to be considered a mental illness or abnormality and rightfully so. Now, we’re gonna need 4 locker rooms in every school: Boys, girls, boys who think they’re girls and girls who think they’re boys.
Next thing you know some guy will be grabbing “her” ass in a stairwell.
This is all the fault of the Libs. let them figure out this shit. They wanted it so bad, now they got it. Now that its their daughters in that locker room the story changes…. Fucking hypocrites.
I watched the video. The school offered a compromise. The student chose to take a “separate is not equal” line.
The comment about anatomy above has merit.
It’s time we stop all this madness with the PC police I don’t care if one persons feelings get hurt after all the accommodations are made and still refused you are right TB he is being a Dick because he has one .
Point: I grew up before everyone was special. If I stepped out of line I was disciplined. If I did right I was just doing my job, what was expected of me. Part of me wants this kid to get over him/herself.
Counterpoint: I work with a transgender person. She’s a solid engineer and a good mentor to her staff. We’ve been working together since before she became a she. Other than having to learn to refer to her as “she” the only difference is that she seems more confident and comfortable in her own 6’2″ body. And manhands.
Public school is different. Rules are rules. I don’t know the right answer here, but someone’s going to be upset by whatever the decision may be.
My old man would tell this kid to toughen up and do what s/he wants when s/he’s an adult. There’s something to be said for that.
The Democrats and media love to portray a Republican war on women, hatred of women and their causes. It would be quite amusing to have a Repulican politician come out publically on the side of the transgender kid and watch the Democrats heads spin. Since the dems think they own all women and LGBT voters, they wouldn’t know who to support, the girls/women or the trans student. They would be like mush mouth Petty not making any sense because they’d be too scared to come out with the wrong thing.
TB on point. They should stop calling it boys or girls / men or woman. Just a big sign with a cock, and a big sign with a vagina. Remove gender/sex/trans/whatever bullshit out of it. Physical anatomy is the only qualifier.
Ya see the problem? The media article says “she” and “her.” Sorry. When you lob it off, I’ll stop calling you “he” and “him.”
