Blaire White, a nationally recognized transgender female who was born as a male, but took on the female costume very convincingly, explains the difference; “LGB - those are sexual orientations. The T, that's a gender identity.” said White in a video commentary on the subject. “I know some people have issues differentiating between the two, they can't really understand it. The long and short of that is, LGB - sexual orientation - that's who you want to go to sleep with; the T - gender identity - that's who you want to go to sleep as.”[1]

The MSAD #20 policy only requires students to masquerade as the opposite sex during school hours to trigger the benefits of the policy. The policy states, “For the purposes of this policy, a student will be considered transgender if, at school, he/she consistently asserts a gender identity or expression different from the gender assigned at birth.”

The policy states of locker rooms, “As a general rule, transgender students will be permitted to use the locker room assigned to the gender which the student consistently asserts at school. A transgender student will not be required to use a locker room that conflicts with the gender identity consistently asserted at school. A transgender student who expresses a need for privacy will be provided with reasonable alternative facilities or accommodations, such as using a separate stall, a staff facility or separate schedule.”

The policy then further defines Gender Expression as, “The manner in which a person represents or expresses gender to others, often through behavior, clothing, hairstyles, activities, voice or mannerisms.”

The key phrase to consider in the policy is “the gender which the student constantly asserts.” This is a pretty low bar considering all a young, teenage boy, for example, has to do is essentially dress up in a girl costume and masquerade as a female while at school in order to obtain a free ticket to the girls’ locker room.

While the MSAD #20 Transgender Policy takes enormous strides to accommodate the Transgender student, it offers no accommodation for those who actually know their true, biological gender and accept it. For example, there is no mention of allowing biological girls who are uncomfortable getting dressed around biological boys in the girls’ locker room to use separate changing facilities. Ironically, while the policy seeks to, among other things, create an environment free from bullying, it fails to acknowledge the covert bullying of true, natural girls, for example, who may be forced by the school to undress around boys in their locker rooms as if it was somehow ‘normal.’

“We are biologically made and socially conditioned to be able to tell the difference between males and females for a number of reasons - for safety; for procreation - stop telling women to not believe their own eyes and stop telling women that it's not okay to question anybody who doesn't seem to fit,” said Lesbian activist and commentator, Arielle Scarcella. “It's not about humanity, it's about impeding on our spaces and feeling entitled to do so. Here's the difference. If you were walking outside, simply existing and somebody came and was harassing you, or threatening you, I would step in and be like, no, this is not okay. But when you are entering a space that you clearly don't belong, stop making it about you.”[2]

She further elaborates on how the transgender movement always seems to target the destruction of women's rights. “Why is it always women that are at the end of these issues? Sports, changing rooms, prisons, and our bodies. Our bodies are also spaces that you most likely don't belong in...All of this 'trans women are women' and 'trans rights to the extreme' stuff is hurting women...If men, as males, have the opportunity to be creepy, they will take it. This is why we have women-only spaces.”

“I have no more words for where the queer movement, trans movement, new age feminist movement has gotten us. I am both disgusted [and] shocked,” she concluded.

The transgender movement has become something akin to a religious cult, said commentator, Blaire White, who is a transgender individual. “I barely felt camaraderie with other transsexuals, that was one of my first realizations when I transitioned. I sought community. When I realized I was trans, I started going to trans support groups I was like, okay, let me find a community within the T...Didn't find it. In fact, was very repelled by it, very turned off by it. It was very scary, it was like this is a cult. ‘Okay, never mind, gonna go back to being just Blaire,’ which was a good thing. But, a lot of people get caught up in that cult so, that's a bad thing.”[1]

White continues by showing how the Trans-rights movement is a natural, unnecessary and potentially toxic extension of the rights that gays and lesbians won over a decade ago. “”Post-rights, like post getting rights, the movement has really derailed and that's clear to anyone with two brain cells to rub together. Gay marriage, that was the big fight. When I was a kid, that was like our modern civil rights movement to an extent. My generation was on board with that. What happened is there was an industry built on achieving those rights..do you think that's all freelance work that all these activists were doing? No. They were raising billions of dollars. Make no mistake, it is a billion dollar industry to fight for LGBT rights and that's why once you achieve them, you have to invent more to keep everyone's paycheck coming in...The LGB, they have full legal equality everywhere in the country, so do the T's by the way, because I don't count not being able to transition kids as a lack of a right. That's not a right. And that would be, if anything, a right for doctors and parents anyway because kids can't consent to that, regardless...So what is there left to do? [Most of the young kids today] don't remember that throughout the mid-2010s and towards the late 2000s we had reached peak social acceptance for all of these types of people. There was no issue anymore, especially once gay marriage was passed. We had kind of solved this problem and now the problem is going backwards and it's because of this rampant collectivism, it's because we can't get on the same page and we're going all over the place and the outside world sees that complete lack of logic in what we're actually fighting for. It's just not good.”[1]
