Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates school freaking out over possible trans girl in bathroom

Notice that the girl who made the claim that a trans girl used the bathroom admits she’s not sure of the identity of the person she saw.  So just how did she know the person was trans?  She went on looks, the girl did not look girly enough for her.  I wonder where she got that criteria that who is female should go on how feminine they look?  Who drummed that mistaken misogynistic idea into her head.  All girls must look beautiful for men?  But stop and ask why it is important that a trans girl not be in a bathroom with sinks and stalls?  She is going to do what every other girl does, go into a stall, do what they are there to do, and after she makes sure she is dressed goes to the sink where she washes her hands, maybe checks her looks / does a makeup check.  Unless girls in the bathroom are walking around / hanging out nude, then no genitals are seen or should be seen.  To have this much hate over an issue that makes no sense is anger and hate for no reason other to attack a minority group.  It is the same as whites trying to prevent blacks for using the same bathrooms as whites.  It is the very same issue. The father of the girl demanded that trans girls use the single person bathrooms, but he was reminded after he claimed his daughter was traumatized and too upset to use the bathrooms at school despite the fact the father admitted they did not know if the person was trans or another cis girl.  He was then reminded his daughter could also be using those bathrooms.  Also it is important to know that the school district has been allowing all students to use the bathroom of the gender they identify with for years, for a very long time with no complaint.  So why was one faked and drummed up now on social media.  For the simple reason of targeting a small minority of students.  For the fleeting joy of hating and ganging up on LGBTQIA kids. That a congress troll is trying to cause rage and hostility towards a few students in the community is horrifying.  They simply don’t want trans people, gay people, anyone not straight and cis in public.  Hugs


 

Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates school freaking out over possible trans girl in bathroom

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) commended students for organizing a walkout following weeks of panic in the district after a cisgender girl saw another person who was possibly transgender in the bathroom. The cis girl has since said that she’s not sure of the identity of the person she saw.

“This is the way!!!” Greene tweeted with a video of several hundred students walking out of Perkiomen Valley High School in eastern Pennsylvania.

The issue started several weeks ago when Tim Jagger, the father of a student at the school, posted on Facebook that his daughter saw a boy in the girls’ restroom, leading to outrage on social media.

The Perkiomen Valley school board discussed its bathroom policy at its meeting last week on Monday, September 11, following the attention the incident got. The board considered a policy to ban transgender students from using the restroom that corresponds to their gender.

At the meeting, Jagger admitted that “we aren’t sure” if the person his daughter saw was a trans girl, a cis girl, or a boy, but that didn’t matter because his daughter, he claimed, is “too upset and emotionally disturbed” to use the restroom at all. He told the board that “there is zero reason for someone with male genitalia to be in the girls’ facilities” and that transgender students should be forced to use single-person bathrooms.

This echoed the response he got from principal Cynthia Moss that his daughter can use “a number of single-stall restrooms throughout the building” if she doesn’t want to share a restroom with girls who are different from her.

The anti-trans policy was not passed by the school board in a vote at the September 11 meeting, despite getting support from the president of the board.

Superintendent Barbara Russell told The Philadelphia Inquirer that there have been no incidents in the school related to transgender students using the restroom. Students don’t change for gym class and no trans student is playing on a sports team in the school, so there haven’t been any issues with locker rooms either. She told WPVI that the policy aligns with state and federal protections for transgender students and said there’s no need to change it.

“It did not have to come to this social media, ‘Let’s further divide the community and hurt more kids,’ as opposed to support,” Russell said of Jagger posting to Facebook.

That division over allowing transgender students access to an equal education was amplified when student John Ott organized a walkout last Friday.

“Kids were upset. Girls… we wanted to protect them,” he told Fox News. “They were upset. They didn’t want men in their bathroom.”

Fox found some confusion among students, including one, Brandon Emery, who said that he didn’t know how the school district was going to enact the policy of allowing trans students to use the bathroom, even though that is already the current policy and has been for some time.

Fox & Friends, the far-right network’s morning news show, did a segment on the school district and Emery’s mother, Melanie Marren, told the show that the school didn’t take “into consideration how they affect the students and how uncomfortable it is to just be a teenager in general,” as if transgender students at the school aren’t students or aren’t going through awkward teen years themselves.

One trans former student at the school spoke at the September 11 school board meeting. Tarren McDonnell, who is now 21, said that she got harassed when she used the boys’ restroom, so she would use the single-person nurse’s bathroom. She said that it was far from her classes, adding about five to ten minutes to each restroom trip. It also set her up for harassment; she said that she was followed by a boy once who taunted her as she went to the nurse’s bathroom.

She said that she eventually just started using the girls’ room and “nobody ever gave me issues.”

“I’m praying that something does get done that protects us,” she said at the meeting, adding that she was “saddened to see the hatred and the ignorance” of trans people on display at the meeting.

  1. Huh.
    I’m glad no one worried about what people looked like in the bathroom when I was in high school; I still looked like a 6th grader freshman year. I don’t think I’ll ever forget when I went in to enroll for my sophomore year, one of my guy friends yelled, “Oh, look, look! Alison’s got BoObS!” They showed up between June and July of that summer, when I was going on 15: from flat to C-cup in basically 3 months, and I also grew an inch to my so far full height. The year before, I could have been a guy with long hair for all anyone really knew, except in PE. That was also the first year girls could wear jeans to school, so you bet I never wore a dress.

    Well, that was TMI, but seriously. Do people truly not recall their own freaking childhoods?

    1. Hello Ali. Never fear sharing personal information here, I do it all the time. I developed pubic hair late, and was always a little thin boy. I remember seeing other boys with public hair, (and the bodies of the people abusing me who mostly had hair) and being worried that what was happening to me was stopping that hair growth. Then like you say, one day it just started to appear. I remember being so relieved at first, but then it felt uncomfortable and I wished it had not grown in. I also worried / was terrified I would get pregnant from being sexually used, as the information that was something only girls could do was lacking in my “health education classes” until about 7 or 8th grade. Oh well, such is the anxieties of growing up in a backward society that fears the human body and educating kids about it. Hugs, Scottie
