Should "George" be allowed to play alongside "Cindy" and "Cathy" on a girls basketball team and then later accompany them into the privacy of a locker room or shower facility that formerly was "biology-based"?
That's the question that will be addressed Monday when the Maine Human Rights Commission meets to talk about "transgendered" students.
Guidelines have been proposed that would specify what commission officials believe all schools must do to make accommodations for any biological boy who asserts he's female, or biological girl who asserts she's male.
QuoteUnder discussion will be the suggested guideline:
Transgender students must be allowed access to bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity or expression or, if they prefer, to existing single stall bathrooms.
With respect to locker rooms and shower facilities that involve undressing in front of others, transgender students must be provided with accommodations that meet their needs and that take into account the legitimate privacy concerns of all student involved.
QuoteIf there's a suit brought for example by a little girl who's not happy that a fully naked little boy is in her shower stall with her, then she can be sued for sexual harassment if she complains about that. That's my understanding of where this is all going," Martin said.
That Martin fellow is either an idiot or a liar.
Why would any of us need to be worried about naked people, of any sex?
The only reason I can think of is if one naked person attempts to harrase another. But that argument applies equally to gay people.
I never told anyone about being gay, when I was at school, for this specific reason. I had no interest in anyone but feared being accused of it.
But even then, the argument is specious simply because the guidelines make it clear that lockerrooms would not be mixed.
As a hippie, I can honestly say that the least sexual place in the world is a nude beach (expect for the people standing far away looking through binoculars). I can attest that if you see people naked it will not destroy your life.
