Transgender Issues

Coy Mathis is a 6-year-old born with a boy's body. She identifies as a girl, and her family raised her as a girl. In kindergarten, she used the girl's bathroom with no problems. But this year, in first grade, the school said that she cannot continue to use the girl's bathroom. The family think this will "stigmatize her, having to be the only one having to go to a different bathroom." They have filed a civil right suit against the district. I think this is a complicated issue. It is even more difficult with the child being so young. I think the district should let her continue to use the girls bathroom since she is so young. When she gets older, and the issues are more pronounced, they should revisit the topic.
