Transgender issue draws controversy

    On Monday the Maine Human Rights Commission may advise schools to allow transgender students to dress, play sports and choose bathrooms based on the gender they consider themselves to be, rather than the gender they were physically born.

    Suffice it to say, it's a bit controversial.

    The commission argues that the proposed "guidance" it will offer Maine schools on the subject is nothing more than its interpretation of the Maine Human Rights Act and does not force schools to enact or follow its "suggestions."
