At an October meeting of the Delta County School Board, board member Kathy Svenson dismissed the idea of legal equality for transgender students, making a pointed comparison between Colorado’s laws and recently-passed legislation in California and Massachusetts.

“Massachusetts and California have passed laws relating to calling a student, irrespective of his biological gender, letting him perform as the gender he thinks he is, or she is,” Svenson said. “I just want to emphasize, not in this district. Not until the plumbing’s changed. There would have to be castration in order to pass something like that around here.”

In later comments to local CBS television affiliate KREX, Svenson stood by her comments. “I don’t have a problem if some boys think they are girls, I’m just saying as long as they can impregnate a woman, they’re not going to go in girls locker-room,” she said.

A spokesman for the county school district rejected the suggestion that castration is even a consideration, and reaffirmed the district’s policy of nondiscrimination “against any student.”

1. Then get a gender neutral place for them to change clothes.

I suppose in some cases boys with normal hormones and a devious idea might try to use this ploy to spy on and take advantage of girls in the locker room area, but it would come at such an ego price, I doubt it.

2. What a surprise. The article says she's and evangelical Christian who

started a "ministry" in India. Apparently she isn't content with spreading hate and intolerance here; she's got to export it, too.

3. I really hate these family values idiots.

Like why do they get to preach their perceived morality? It's assholes who preach morality that make life difficult for the rest of us.
