"The 16 transgender male student stated he"

She's a transgender girl and the correct pronoun is 'she.' Stop intentionally misgendering her.

"...was disgusted with finding feminine products in the girls bathroom."

Yeah, most people are disgusted when you find any kind of hygiene product outside of the places they're supposed to be. Used tampons and pads should be in the garbage and used toilet paper should be flushed. I'm not sure why it's an issue that another person said "hey, it's gross that these things are on the floor and there's blood on the toilet."

"He also stated he was a woman. That's why the question was asked if he gets his monthly period. How can a teen boy have the slightest comprehension of what teen girls are going through? What counseling is taking place? You want to change the culture?This is something completely different all in itself and it is irresponsible."

Oh dear lord...

SHE stated that SHES is a woman because she is. That's her identity. As far as asking about whether or not she gets her period, that's inappropriate and none of your business. And if you're basing womanhood on menstruation, then I guess there are a lot of cisgender women who aren't "true women" because they don't go through menstruation for various reasons. I think you should walk into Dana–Farber Cancer Institute and tell the patients there that they aren't really women.

Again, you don't get to know what counseling is taking place. That's also none of your business. That's a conversation between transgender individuals, their care providers, and anybody that they feel the need to tell. You don't get to make these demands in an attempt to police the gender of other people.

This is why people were saying you're being in appropriate. You're almost a hair shy of asking a minor to send you pictures of their genitals and you don't understand why people find it disturbing.

And while you're lambasting transgender people for not knowing what it's like to be a teenage boy or girl, what you're missing is that you have absolutely no idea what it's like to be a transgender boy or girl. You have absolutely no experiences to speak on and no perspective there and yet here you are.

What's irresponsible is your behavior here that promotes a culture of social stigma and violence toward transgender people. Your words and actions help perpetuate a long history of abuses that lead to a lot of really unpleasant experiences within the LGBTQ community. So yes...many of us are trying to change that culture for the better.

"Most of the individuals commenting on this page and this paper in itself are all of the Mayor's minions."

That's some serious paranoia you've got going on here...

"Warwick Watch isn't surprised in the least. Watch what happens to the Warwick public school system and how many more parents will be pulling their kids out. This entire city's leadership on both sides school/city is a complete disaster."

Stop saying "Warwick Watch" and just say "I." Hiding behind that moniker is dishonest and it means you're refusing to own what you say.

The reality is that there is going to be no mass exodus from the public school system over this. The outrage is from a small number of people, fanned by you. In fact, had nothing been said by you nothing would have been said because it's been a nonissue for years. The disaster I see is a person who didn't get what they wanted and are now trying to pick on the next vulnerable population because gays already had their day in court and that leave transgender, gender nonconforming, and queer individuals exposed. Your attempts are pathetic.
