The Christo-Fascist bigotry and fear is so stomach turning, ugly, and hateful as to seem unreal. For fuck’s sake this is a five year old transgirl. Is the Christo-Fascist hate so great they would deprive an innocent little girl of her opportunity for an education and her right to grow up not feeling ashamed of who she is? We are born this way just like cis-sex/gender people are.

The family of a 6-year-old transgender Colorado girl who was banned from using her school’s girls’ bathroom are disappointed that the school district is refusing to enter into mediation talks with them so she could return to the school, according to The Colorado Springs Gazette.
Coy Mathis, a first-grader who had been attending Eagleside Elementary School in Fountain, Colo., is now being home schooled after the school told her in January that she could not longer use the girls’ bathroom.

Unfortunately, it appears they will not. The Gazette reports that not only will the school district not enter into mediation with the family, they are also refusing to comment on their decision not to do so.
“They’re creating a giant divide and that’s a huge loss for the school because they have a really good opportunity for their students,” Kathryn told Fox 31 KDVR.com. “They’re using it as a way to discriminate instead.”
But WPTV cites attorney W. Kelly Dude, who represents Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8, as saying there are no Colorado cases which require public schools to permit transgender students to use restrooms of the gender with which they identify thus far.
