        There is no such thing as transgenders. I Feel for those parents whose daughters got to share the restroom with that boy

        I feel for the daughters who have parents threatening to dismember a CHILD and encouraging other children to bully a CHILD. Sharing a bathroom takes a few minutes a day, but they are stuck with evil ass parents for life.

        When do they prosecute each and every one of these parents? I’m seeing a lot of “yeah, but Oklahoma” here. BS we’re all humans sharing the same planet. Threatening a kid in grade seven is beyond the pale.

        And unfortunately it will continue if parents continue to give in to this mental instability.Children are learning this behavior from their parents.Both parents are wrong here. I feel so sorry for both sets of children. Genesis 5:2 He created them male and female and blessed them

        So have many lost people in a fallen world. The child? No. The parents? Unbelievable emotional abuse on their part.
