Just another example of the sillyness that transpires in our country all in the name of "equality".

Okay, I just read it. You can answer now.

1) What is your problem here?

This is a question that requires discussion more than a simple one sentence answer. I simply don't feel that this behavior is something you are born with. A series of events has to occur to force a reaction such as this. Making this mainstream news or socially acceptable will simply create more people of this demographic.

2) What exactly do you want?

Just a discussion........and maybe another 100 post thread.

the smart people thing was a joke. although I don't think anyone's going to actually say W&M isn't a bunch of smart people. Much like another "Public Ivy" in this state...but I digress.

Why is it an issue if more people come out as transgendered? I don't see any problem with transgendered folks entering a school's popularity contest, despite the dictionary's definition of the word "Queen."
I'm not transgendered, I don't know if you're born with it or not. But, I don't think you can write off someone's identity just because its different/unusual.
People aren't as cut and dry as Gay/Straight, and I assume you aren't someone who thinks homosexuality is choice, so what's the issue with someone being born somewhere in between? Like I said, I don't know (or care) either way, but I don't find it a difficult leap to believe folks who feel they are born that way.

Anyway, I understand the complaint/image that being progressive can go to far into political correctness (i.e. the South Park episode where dude wants to turn into a Dolphin). However, accepting the identity wishes of someone who is transgendered, to me, is just a matter of tollerance and understanding.
