Colorado Civil Rights Division says 6-year-old transgender girl can use girls bathroom at school

Some days I wake up and I just can’t believe what goes on in this nation. For starters, a 6-year-old that’s dealing, not just with issues of sexuality, but transexuality? I didn’t even know 6-year-olds thought of this kind of stuff. And now to be in a battle over whether or not Coy Matthis can use the girls bathroom because he and his parents think he’s a girl?

And this ruling by the Colorado Civil Rights Division seems not to consider how this decision is going to make other parents and children feel who have to share a bathroom with this boy, but rather it’s only interested in trying to prevent ‘bullying’ for Coy Matthis.

Now these anti-bullying campaigns by the Obama administration make sense now. It’s not so much about bullying, because they can’t really stop that, but about justifying and normalizing these perverse ideas. Yes, I said perverse.

I feel bad for Coy Matthis for what his parents are allowing him to go through and become. His life is going to be a difficult one. I mean, he’s a 6-year-old for crying out loud.

DAILY MAIL – A six-year-old transgender girl has won the right to use the girls restroom at her school in Colorado.

The decision was made by the Colorado Civil Rights Division on Sunday that the Fountain-Fort Carson School District created an unnecessarily hostile situation for Coy Mathis by not allowing her to use the female bathroom.

Transgender advocates are hailing the decision as a major step forward for transgender rights.

By not allowing Coy to use the girls’ restroom, the Eagleside Elementary School in Fountain ‘creates an environment rife with harassment,’ Steven Chavez, the division director, wrote in the decision.

Winner: The Colorado Civil Rights Division has ruled in favor of six-year-old Coy Mathis, whose school had barred her from using the girls bathroom at her elementary school because she is transgender

Coy Mathis, who was born male but has identified as female since the age of four, was barred from using the girls’ restroom at Eagleside Elementary School in Fountain, Colorado in December.

Mathis’ parents, Kathryn and Jeremy Mathis, filed a complaint through the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund in February.

Prior to the complaint, the first-grader, who dresses as a girl and is recognized as female on her passport and state-issued ID, had experienced no issue using the girls bathrooms.

‘It came out that Coy was no longer going to be able to use the girl’s restroom and they were going to require her to be using the boy’s room or the staff bathroom or the bathroom for the sick children.

‘We didn’t know why… we had no idea where this was coming from.’

After receiving the news, the couple, who have five children under eight, took all of their children out of Eagleside Elementary School and filed a complaint with the state’s civil rights division.

But W Kelly Dude, the lawyer for Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8, told CNN that the school ‘took into account not only Coy but other students in the building, their parents, and the future impact a boy with male genitals using a girls’ bathroom would have as Coy grew older.
