Lawyers for 12-Year-Old Sue Middleboro Over School's Refusal to Let Him Wear Controversial Shirt

[WellPreserved]

Would he be banned for wearing a shirt that said, "There Are More Than Two Genders."?
The suit alleges selective enforcement. The school allegedly has allowed BLM and Pride stuff but not this.

That’s my thing/frustration about this.

One side didnt want to trust science when it came to Covid but it applies to gender. The other side wanted to trust science when it comes to covid but not when it comes to gender.

Rules can’t be based on political views/leaning because it is too subjective. Either these kids are allowed to express their views or they aren’t.

As someone who had to grow up fast, kids need to enjoy being kids, not political bullhorns for adults.

I don't remember kids wearing political stuff back when I was in school. The only thing, imo, that seems to have changed is parents pushing their politics on kids.

I wore a "Nixon, Nixon, he's our man" t-shirt in grade school, lol.

Ha ha - when I was in grade school they let all the kids vote in a school-wide "election" for the President. We had voting booths with curtains and levers just like at the polls. I doubt anyone voted differently than their parents, but it was a good introduction to how the voting system worked.

I agree that kids don't need to be used as ammunition in adults political squabbles.

Science does not point to the conclusion of only two genders. There are at least 10 different markers for genetic sexual development, including chromosomes, hormones, gonads, exterior presentation, interior organs, and the body's ability to utilize hormones. This leads to a spectrum of gender variety in humans, with most people falling at one or the other end of the curve - but quite a few along the curve.

S*x Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic

Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male.
S*x can be much more complicated than it at first seems. According to the simple scenario, the presence or absence of a Y chromosome is what counts: with it, you are male, and without it, you are female. But doctors have long known that some people straddle the boundary—their S*x chromosomes say one thing, but their gonads (ovaries or testes) or sexual anatomy say another.

Thanks but I have heard both arguments from medical professional and we are still in the early stages as far as researching all of this, so it’ll be awhile before I take sides on that one.

My point is, we have two groups with drastically different views on gender identity. A large number of biological women disagree with the notion that trans women are the same thing. A large number of people still believe there are 2 genders based on the science they have been taught.

One court backs a school in banning a trans student from graduation and another backs banning this kid from wearing a T-shirt.

Every day it’s a different article, different outcome.

So which group has the final say and is compromise until more research is done that difficult?

If it’s going to be this much drama, let
the students wear uniforms and let trans students dress according to the gender they identify with to keep it fair.

Absolutely. It’s appalling how parents treat their kids as pawns in their political/social/moral fights.

You can’t wear shirts designed to piss people off in school…


Never have been.


Kids literally fight each other when they get pissed off and schools don’t want to deal with that environment… nor should they. I support uniforms personally…

His shirt nor shirts supporting opposing views should be allowed. School is for learning, not for social experiments.

We didn’t either and it was not this damn serious at 12 years old. I don’t even remember the schools harassing trans students to the point of banning them from graduation.

I agree, it’s parents/adults pushing their political views off on these kids and I was sick of it after the COVID drama.

We were banned from AC/DC shirts because they mooned us at the concert in Fort Wayne. They were banned from the coleseum as well. Lol

I can’t stand it. I know a few people who work in mental health and they have clients in therapy because of parents pushing political views off on them. Kids and even adults.

It’s totally fine to have age appropriate conversations with children about politics but putting them in confrontational situations and making decisions based on adult political opinion has gotten way out if hand.

Let kids be kids. They have their whole life ahead of them for this bullshit.

They tried to ban rap music when I was younger but I don’t remember the schools banning us from wearing stuff like that.

Shit, worrying about getting mooned is nothing compared to what kids are exposed to now. I’d hate to be a student in this political climate:
