HOLY SHIT MY DAUGHTER SAW A *beep*.
Seriously though, six years old seems a good time to start a conversation about gender, sexuality, maturity, and appropriate vs. inappropriate behavior. When kids start becoming aware of differences and discrimination.
Honestly, I don't see a problem with a woman (who happens to have a *beep*) walking around naked in the locker room. It's a good point for discussion. The USA is so puritan it's almost maddening - that simply *seeing* someone's genitals is cause for trauma or emotional distress shows how very problematic ideas of the body and gender have become. |

Ah, I found the problem.
Women do not have dicks. Women have vaginas.

Yeah...he's a dude.
While the USA may be puritan in cases, letting a man use the women's facilities seems a bit odd. |

People have a right to certain privacies. these women were made to feel uncomfortable. Not a big issue. |

I'd be lying if I said I cared about this totally local, non-newsworthy issue, but none the less, the notion that six-year old children should be exposed to transsexual's penises to spur "discussion" is probably one of the most ridiculous things I have heard in my life. |

He's not a woman though...he's a man who dresses in woman's clothes and lives as a woman.
Transgender is not the same as transsexual. |

All I can say is that my mom tossed my sister and me into the bathtub together when we were little. I grew up knowing that boys and girls were different. No big deal...until I was about 11 or so. (No, we were not taking our nightly baths together until I was 11.)
This situation is special. I agree with TUM. This person is a transsexual, not a transgender (given the information we have).
In my opinion, the adult women in the locker room should have--if they were offended by the presence of an outwardly appearing male--picked him/her up and tossed him/her out in the hall without clothes. Social mores are social mores until they change. |

If that's how it's going to be, just divide locker rooms based on physical attributes, rather than "sex" or "gender".
Penises this way ->
<- Vaginas that way
If you're not sure, ask a staff member to classify your junk and send you on your way. |

^ Strikes me as a reasonable, logical, and intelligent solution. Any one of those three qualities is enough for it to fail in the real world, sadly. |

I don't see anything wrong with her/him using the locker room as long as he's not parading around naked in the place. The article says s/he was sprawled out naked in the sauna, perhaps it's exaggerating. |

Not sure what constitutes "parading around". What if he/she/it has an itch and continues to scratch that spot in front of others and smiles gleefully while doing so? Would that be parading around? |
