Trans girl barred from bathroom

FOUNTAIN, Colo.—A transgender advocacy group on Tuesday filed a complaint on behalf of a 6-year-old girl whose elementary school prevented her from using the girls’ bathroom.
The Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund said the Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8 told Coy Mathis’ parents late last year she would have to use a boys, staff or nurse’s restroom after winter break. Mathis has expressed herself as a girl since she was a toddler.
“Her school should not be singling her out for mistreatment just because she is transgender,” Coy Mathis’ mother, Kathryn Mathis, said.
Katie Couric interviewed the Mathis family during a segment of her talk show that aired on Tuesday.

One of the commenters describes how the fame-seeking attention whore used another one of her triplets, handicapped due to parental neglect, to. seek donations so they cold buy a vehicle. Donate $500 and you get to have a play date with Lily! $100 and she will color a picture for you!
