Where do private schools really get you in life?

That's what all local private schools are peddling this year.

It has gotten crazy at our progressive school too. Query - Is it transphobic if you are a heterosexual cis gender boy that doesn’t want to date a trans girl? My son was declared transphobic by a small group of classmates when he was repeatedly asked if (hypothetically) he would date a trans girl and he finally said no - this is during homeroom. He is 12 years old. He was upset and felt shamed by classmates. He told me after school he didn’t want to date a girl that had a penis, but couldn’t say that in class. I had to reassure him that it didn’t make him transphobic, but then my older teenager INSISTED that it did make him transphobic. Since when do heterosexuals have to be sexually attracted to transgender people? WTF?

I went looking for this comment after you brought this up in tonight's parent-teacher community meeting. No, it's not transphobic to not be attracted to a girl who has a penis... and no, the classmates shouldn't have teased your kid like that, but... 1. seems like it was an isolated incident and 2. I'd much rather have "transphobic" be used as a schoolyard insult than "f@ggot" or "tr@nny." I like what that says about the school's culture, personally.
