No Plan? No High School Diploma!

This was an issue at a place I worked. We had a gentleman who was transitioning to be a woman. As part of this he petitioned to be allowed to use the ladies room. He was about 6'3", built like a lumberjack, had a full beard, and dressed like every other guy there. But he said he felt more comfortable using the ladies room since he was in pre-op (taking hormones, going to classes, etc.). Needless to say we had a full on row over the whole thing. I let HR deal with it mostly. In the end we provided access to what was basically a single handicapped bathroom in the main offices for his/her use. It didn't make him/her happy but we had a contingent of women come to HR to complain and had to find a solution of some sort.

So he wasn't yet living as a woman, which I think makes all the difference in this discussion.
 
Ya I don't think it's enough to just say "I identify as a man/woman" in order to go to the bathroom in the bathroom of the other sex. I think you have to walk the walk as well.

Got infracted for proffering this solution. Good luck with the mods.

You're solely responsible for the things you post. If you want to present what happened as biased or unfair, go for it.

I'm not goading you into anything.
 
Good. I'm glad that are trying to institutw any standard, any new reqyirement. Not every child who tries should graduate HS. That hold your hand attitude should stop after jr high. It’s not an accomplishment if all you have to do is show up. If we are going to spend all this money then let's quit treating it like a daycare system for young adults and giving them a meaningless certificate of completion.
