Common Sense Prevails in Scotland

This is my response to a post on Transgender Trend regarding the withdrawal of "transgender schools guidance" in Scotland.

Conflating common sense with "transphobia" needs to stop. Not pushing for extreme, physically altering measures with potentially serious negative consequences right out of the starting gate is not "transphobia." 

Further, ordering girls that they must accept a boy in the changing area or risk being branded "transphobic" and, therefore, a bad person is not acceptable. 

Nobody should be insensitive to a person who states that he or she is transgender. But schools were very quick to dismiss the thoughts and feelings of girls as "hysterical", which would seem an obvious indication that sexism is alive and well.

At least common sense has prevailed in this case.

Gender is not physical sex, and conflating the two leads to a myriad of problems.
