    Well isn't this nice. There is no way that this can be seen as contructed for kids. Children at such a young age should not be taught by the mentally ill. Sickening....
    Not only are the homos trying to recruit at earlier age now the gender comfused have a foothold in the public schools. Thank God my kids will be going to private school.

    Have you considered home schooling ? They say it isn't just for religious wacko's anymore, but don't let that stop you !

    Calvert School out of Baltamore is an excelent program if you do home school.

    On topic, odd. It's ok if he doesn't go on on how great having a sex change is. Probably should mention that sex changes are only a good idea if you have sever issues.

    Love how she says 'democracy in action' was 'magnificent'. She would be moaning and complaining if it were the other way, probably.

    I don't see a single mention of her being mentally ill. As for her teaching your children maybe she'll teach them to be a bit more tollerant to new idea's, and different people, maybe they wont overreact and lynch the first gay person they see. Seriously there's nothing wrong with it, children are quite accepting and wont realize anything is wrong with her. Really and there's nothing wrong with this in the first place unless you believe religion and state shouldnt be seperated.

    I suppose it depends on your definition of mental illness. But when a 70+ year old lady/man has a sex change, I think something's up.
    Personally, I wouldn't want my kids being taught by someone like that. I put him/her under the same category as alcoholics as far as a positive influence to my children are concerned.
    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."

    I don't see anything wrong as long as the teacher does not indoctrinate the children for her/his cause. By taking the job, however, s/he is putting him/herself up for whatever stick the pupils may give. The same goes for Gay people -- there are several gay teachers (it is up to the pupils to figure out who, though, no-one tells us) at my school. So long as they are not camp and too effeminate, then it is fine.

    "Despite criticism from parents, the school board on Monday stood by its decision to allow McBeth to resume working as a substitute teacher." (from the article)

    Good for the school board! Occasionally, I see hope for the US.

    I'd rather the children were taught tolerance and broad perspective than to have a parent teach them to call homosexuals "homos" and transsexuals "freaks".

    Well, I suppose I can support the school board allowing shim to continue teaching, as long as they don't *gasp* allow shim to fill those impressionable children's heads with stories of evolution!

    I'm actually not sure how to feel about this one, personally, and so I'm kind of glad that it's someone else's problem. Anyhow, I think Kansas has a little something to learn from the schoolboards in Pennsylvania/New Jersey.

    What about my right as a parent to not expose my children to an individual with dangerous masochistic mental disorders? What about my right as a parent to not force my 8 year old son to learn about gender confusion when they have enought to worry about? "Oh Johnny. It's okay, you can grow up to be a woman too if you want. All you have to do is chop off your penis".

    But seriously. Not mentally ill?

    Look at it this way. The dude hired somebody to chop off his cock&balls, then dig a hole and call it a vagina. He also stuffed a couple of bags of water into his hairy manly chest and called 'em tits. Then he lasered off all his body hair and wears a wig. And all of this self-mutilation so he could pretend that he was a woman.

    Sounds like a frickin psychopath to me!!!!

    I for one would hate if I'd have to explain to my kids that because some people can't accept the way they were born, they have doctors cut off their johnson and their bodies mutilated to make them look female.
    But I guess that I'm just a bigoted primitive, and that it's a good thing to let in our kids on the full spectrum of colorfull minds that we tolerate in our societies

    I don't mind homosexual people, they can teach kids as far as I'm concerned (and explaining homosexuality should have a proper place in sex ed, once they're old enough)
    As far as I'm concerned gender changes are unnatural (and I challenge you to argue against that!) and frankly, an obscenity. If people want to mutilate themselves, to each his own I guess but I don't want them near my children at an early age.

    I wouldn't say you're a bigoted primitive. You're just a normal human being who has normal aversions to things that society has always told you are "gross" or "freaky." But by keeping an open mind to things/people/ideas that differ from our views of the "norm" and by applying critical thinking to our own prejudices, we can often overcome our pre-programmed responses and live richer lives.

    And I'm happy to hear you say that, as it confirms to me that you are willing to engage in the process I described above.

    Of course gender changes are "unnatural." But that word really means nothing. Any medical modifications we do to our bodies are "unnatural." Here are some other things:

    Organ transplants
    Vasectomies
    Hip replacements
    Cosmetic surgery

    Are all of those things "obscenities" as well?

    Is it the mutilation you have a problem with generally, or is it specifically the mutilation of penises/vaginas that in your view disqualifies a person from teaching school?

    I hear ya. Personally, I'd say you're mental if you were born as one sex and then decide one day you'd rather be another. These people should be counseled, not operated on. People need to accept themselves for who they are and be comfortable with that. That's just my 2 cents.

    It's called mentally ill, not "mental". And counseling them has been tried for decades, it doesn't work. Or more precisely, all gender dysphoric are required to get counseling before a sex change is allowed. It has to be assessed that counseling does not improve their condition. If it does, they are not diagnosed as gender dysphoric. That this person got a sex change implies that a team of health care professionals agreed that it is necessary.

    And by the way, no one "decides one day" that you want another sex. All gender dysphoric people have a history of distress with their bodies from early childhood. It isn't a disease you get overnight but something that haunts you your entire life, unless you get treatment, and that includes sex change.

    Oh, A. Saturnus, A. Saturnus, A. Saturnus...

    You're missing the whole point.

    The point is that people who are in any way sexually different from the mainstream are icky, and worthy of nothing but scorn.

    I have an idea why not say in the name of equaling the genders each semester will be devoted to one of the sexes. i mean the kids are little when I was that age a bear couldve tuaght me and I wouldntve cared.

    Pretty sure that's not true- there have been cases of "feelings" not developing until puberty or even into adulthood, which is probably the case with this man since he didnt get the procedure until 71.

    I'd say it's no cure at all- it's indulging in their disorder, not fixing it. If I became convinced that I was a Hobbit, would I be cured if you shortened my legs?

    For all the "publicly" "tolerant" actors...
    I wish your male child becomes homosexual and does a sex change at the age of 30 after having 2 kids with his/her wife.
    Then you might take off the "politically correct" mask...

    You could explain them instead that some people have a rare disease with the name gender dysphoria for which the only cure is a sex change.

    I don't mind homosexual people, they can teach kids as far as I'm concerned (and explaining homosexuality should have a proper place in sex ed, once they're old enough)
    As far as I'm concerned gender changes are unnatural (and I challenge you to argue against that!) and frankly, an obscenity. If people want to mutilate themselves, to each his own I guess but I don't want them near my children at an early age.

    All surgical operations are unnatural. Unfortunately (especially for the involved) they are often the only way to treat diseases. Gender dysphoria is such a case.
    And please explain me what this has to do with homosexuals?

    Now that that's out of the way: sex changes in general freak me out. I mean, I will be tolerant of them, but of all the things you can do to yourself...
    If you had a third leg, wouldn't you want it to be cut off? If you would wake up tomorrow with your body being female, wouldn't you want to have your male parts back?
    This person has felt female her whole life. Just her body was awfully wrong.

    Just a question, Dave would you have been fine if she hadn't had a sex change (and thus remaining mentally ill) instead of getting herself cured? Are we to keep mentally ill people out of the range of young children for their entire life (independent of treatment)? Considered that up to 30% of people will develope a mental illness at least once in their life, that would make a fine society. And what precisely is the danger anyway? That she will encourage children to be unhappy with their biological sex?
    Nice way to speak about mentally ill people BTW. Can we expect your next thread about a member of an ethnic minority to include any funny names as well?

    I'd like to add to this because I find this misleading unless you also touch on the other myriad of quite arbitrary DSM IV labels that are almost always slapped on these folks as well. Saying this operation is a cure for gender dysphoria is akin to saying a bandage is a cure for a severed limb.

    I've never heard of a patient who's only diagnosis was gender dysphoria and became perfectly mentally healthy after their operation. Just because these patients just about never regret their operation, doesn't mean it's a cut and dry 'cure.'

    Not only is there ample clinical evidence of just that, I personally know transsexuals that feel that way.

    Most transsexuals don't realize what exactly is the problem until they are adolescents or adults, but usually they experience themselves to be different quite early. 71 is admittedly an extreme case.
    It's not known what causes gender dysphoria, but some theories say that it has to do with hormonale imbalances before birth.

    I'd say it's no cure at all- it's indulging in their disorder, not fixing it. If I became convinced that I was a Hobbit, would I be cured if you shortened my legs?
    What is relevant is the reduction of distress. Telling them to accept themselves as they are may suit your perception of the world as normal, but it doesn't help transsexuals. That's as if you tell clinical depressed people not to let themselves down.

    I don't need to paint you as anything, you do that yourself. But to decide how close it actually is, that I will leave over to the Mods.
