Kids vs Political Correctness

Is it a real concern, or is it just my conservative side... because I wonder when the neighbor who is a school psychologist decides he's going to change from being a man into a woman, is he still a good choice to be counseling our children? I just have to wonder if the person who is counseling the children can't figure out their own life, can they really be helpful to people who are starting out?

Elementary Questions

My young son is asking about things that some of his kindergarten classmates have introduced, such as dating and transgender people. This leads his curious mind to wonder how a boy would become a girl or a girl become a boy. I've decided to be truthful and let him know that most people are fine with being born a boy or girl and in order to change, they would need to have surgery and shots. I also told him that even though one of his classmates thinks she is dating a boy in class, she really isn't (especially since the boy doesn't like her); and it sounds like on "Charlie Brown" when Sally likes Linus or Lucy likes Schroeder but the boys don't like them back...

Transgender Bathroom Law

http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/25/politics/texas-lawsuit-barack-obama-transgender/ The owner of the building is saying that he cannot afford the space or the price for a third bathroom to accommodate "other." I understand that people are quite concerned about where transgender people should go to relieve themselves. Maybe I am not being politically correct, but it seems that it is fairly simple. Perhaps the signs on "restrooms" should not say, "Male" or "Female." Perhaps they should say, "If you have a penis, go in here." If you have a vagina, go in this one." Things were certainly more defined back in "the old days;" weren't they? http://cutris.blogspot.com/2012/07/new-restroom-signs.html
