HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - A transgender male student said he was suspended from Socastee High School after using the boy's bathroom.

The student, who wishes to remain anonymous, has known he's identified as a boy and not as a girl most of his life.

When he started transitioning in middle school, female students complained about a boy being in the girl's bathroom.

The student and his family met with school administrators at Forestbrook Middle School and all decided he should use the boy's bathroom because that would be the most comfortable option for everyone.
*******************************
And the repression goes on. The amazing thing is for THREEyears he was using the boys bathroom and there was no problem. Now some teachers get a bug up their rears and all of a sudden administrators reverse their policy.  Note to parents: if you work out an arrangement with school officials - Get it in writing.

We must be careful and take care of the children.  If we let a trans man into the men's room what's to stop a female sex fiend from wearing men's clothing to get into the bathroom and rape those high school boys.  Things like that do happen all the time all across the country.

The only reasonable solution is to make all public restrooms coed-unisex with adequately private stalls.

Unfortunately, Hoary County schools are where my grandchildren go to school.

It sounds like they are testing the waters with the new law. I think they will find their new law doesn't make much sense.
