Sounds like who ever told her not to come is an idiot. I'll bet officials smelling the stink of major future legal bills are falling over themselves to distance themselves from whoever said that.

A lot of religion comments.
Id like to point out that there are actually a lot of trans* people who are christian. Including me. So christians need to stop bashing and atheists need to stop stereotyping...
Like that'll happen.

You know, the funniest comment I read in that article:
Rachel will offset the boy/girl ratio. .... .... long, dramatic pause with mouth wide open. Uh.... duh... WHAT?! What mathematics courses did you take dude?! I mean, a statement like that... it just.... I.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!

Oh no, someone just cut down a tree. There's less oxygen, I can't breathe. The tree/human ratio has been offset!!

Yeah, that sounds like a lot of BS to me too.

Another thing that was said that I found quite offensive and I quote, "psycho sexual issues". What??????????? What is so hard about understanding Gender Identity Issues or even using that instead of making her and all the rest of us sound like insane sexual deviants. Yes I know that may not be what the person meant but "psycho sexual issues" instead of gender identification issues sure seems to have been used on purpose.

Ugh the comments.  I find it ironic when commenters start calling the girl a pervert and then rant about her genitals.  She's 13.  Who's the pervert again?
