'Transgender' candidate on prom king ballot

Geez, What's Next??

Do we want to know??

FRESNO, California (AP) -- When school officials announce the name of the Fresno High School prom king on Saturday, Cinthia Covarrubias will be wearing a tuxedo just like the six boys vying for the honor.

Administrators agreed to reverse a district protocol this week that limited males to compete for the title after Covarrubias was nominated by her classmates.

"I would never have run for anything if I had to wear a dress," said Covarrubias, who considers herself transgender, an umbrella term that covers people whose outward appearance and internal identity don't match their gender at birth.

Whats next? Girls in the Boy Scouts. Boys in the girl scouts. Womens colleges allowing men to attend and vice-versa. Isn't separte but equal wrong? Why should there be gender specific restrooms?

People who make drastic changes like this and then make it impossible for people to think about them as anything but what they were, confuse me.
When you involve the public, you have failed in your quest to become your prefered gender and have sealed your fate as forever transgendered in public perception.

Greg, you fought long and hard for no-code. Why are you still here?

You know KWW, I live fairly close to West Hollywood. Would you like me to gather some more technical information and send it to you? You seem to have a fascination towards gender confusion and orientation -- and I’d like to help if I can.

Move to California.

In 6 months, this kind of thing won't even cause you to raise an eyebrow.

I remember when this kind of stuff used to shock me. About 10 years ago. Nowadays, local newspapers won't even grace it with the front page anymore.

The reverse is not true of Girl Scouts.

Will someone..anyone...explain to me what trans-gender
is? #Is this young woman working her way through a series of sex change operations? I seriously doubt it.
It's just more clatter and foolishness trying to convince the world that the homosexual life style is fine and normal and truly mainstream.

All in all the whole thing is a gigantic crock of crap.

I'm glad my sons graduated from this high school long BEFORE this foolishness all started.

Yes they should. I make it quite clear to anyone I might be sharing a house with that it can never be unfair to a woman. Women put the seat down when it's up, men put the seat up when it's down. The seat would be up or down, to first order, with proportionality relative to the number of men or women in the house. That is, 1/2 up or down for one man and one woman. However, since men sometimes need the seat down, and we can assume that the problem is that men do not unnecessarily change the state of the seat, it will in fact be down more often than up. So even if a man never puts the seat down, women still have less state changing to do, on average, than men.

In fact, it is my opinion that the default state of the seat should be up for hygenic reasons. If it is up and a woman sits down in the dark then at worst she's going to plunk her butt into some cold, relatively clean, water. On the other hand, if it is down and a man starts to go there's a good chance that the seat will be covered in urine, and moreover, this splashing will go unnoticed until someone sits down in it. We know who that's going to be, don't we fellas.

That's right ladies, the default state of the seat should be up. But, if you insist, we'll agree to state change on demand even though you're STILL getting the better deal. Why? Because we're magnanimous like that!

OK, now you have done it...
You are gonna hit one of my nerves here....
If you women expect me to check the seat before I use the toilet and lift it if it is down, then it is only fair that you, ladies, also check the seat before you use the toilet. It will not kill you, repeat not kill you to look at the seat and put the seat down before you use the toilet as well. If I go to the toilet and have to use the seat, I darn well better look to see if the seat is down, or else, I will hit the cold bowl and or get my bottom wet, same as you. You want equal rights, fine. You need the seat, put it in place. Don't gripe if it gets left up when a guy is done, would you rather the guy left it down?
Fair is fair.

It seems to me that you are obsessing on "alternate lifestyles", noting all of the GLBT trolls you have initiated. Is there something you want to share with us???

50 years ago in this country, women could not wear jeans... #Women now have freedom to wear men's styles and plenty of girls look good in a tux.
In Britain, men have worn skirts (kilts) for centuries, and they are starting to wear Utilikilts (http://www.utilikilts.com/) in the USA and around the world now. #
Men can be sensitive and women can be leaders. #These are traits of humanity, not exclusively the domain of either males or females. #Forcing the contrary has been the cause of much suffering and social injustice in our history.

Different stroke for different folks! Stereotyping is so last millennium. People should be allowed to be who they are, not forced into a mold. Repression isn't good for anyone and only leads to trouble.

In other words, just because a tree grew from an acorn and latter produces acorns, but wants to be a pine tree, well, we shouldn't call it an oak or expect it to act like an oak. After all, it thinks or wants to be pine tree...

Let's just hope it doesnt turn out like Julie Brown's homecoming:

Hooooo - It was homecoming night at my high school
Hooooo - Everyone was there, it was totally cool
Hooooo - I was real excited, I almost wet my jeans
Hooooo - 'Cause my best friend Debbie was homecoming queen

She looked so pretty in pink chiffon, chiffon
Riding the float with her tiara on, tiara on
Holding this humongous bouquet in her hand, bouquet
She looked straight out of Disneyland

You know, like the Cinderella ride, I mean definitely an E ticket, E
ticket
The crowd was cheering, everyone was stoked, was stoked
I mean it was like the whole school was totally coked or something
The band was playing Evergreen
And all of a sudden somebody screamed

Look out! The homecoming queen's got a gun!

{Refrain}
Everybody run, the homecoming queen's got a gun
Everybody run, the homecoming queen has got a gun

Debbie's smiling and waving her gun
Picking off cheerleaders one by one
Oh Buffie's pompom just blew to bits
Oh no, Mitzie's head just did the splits
God, my best friend's on a shooting spree
Stop it, Debbie, you're embarrassing me
How could you do what you just did
Are you having a really bad period

{Refrain}

Stop Debbie, you're making a mess
Powder burns all over your dress

An hour later the cops arrived
By then the entire glee club had died, no big loss
You wouldn't believe what they brought to stop her
Tear gas, machine guns, even a chopper
"Throw down your gun and tiara and come out of the float"
Debbie didn't listen to what the cop said
She aimed and fired and now the math teacher's dead
Oh it's really sad but kind of a relief
I mean, we had this big test coming up next week

{Refrain}

Debbie's really having a blast
She's wasting half of the class

The cops fired a warning shot that blew her off the float
I tried to scream "duck" but it stuck in my throat
She hit the ground and did a flip, it was real acrobatic
But I was crying so hard I couldn't work my Instamatic
I ran down to Debbie, I had to find out
What made her do it, why'd she freak out
I saw the bullet had got her right in the ear
I knew then the end was near


So I ran down and I said, in her good ear, "Debbie, why'd you do it?" She raised her head, smiled, and said "I - I did it for Johnny." Johnny? Well like who's Johnny? Answer me, Debbie, who's Johnny? Does anybody here know Johnny? Are you Johnny? There was one guy named Johnny but he was a total geek, he always had food in his braces. Answer me, Debbie, who's Johnny? Oh God this is like that movie Citizen Kane you know where you later find out Rosebud was a sled? But we'll never know who Johnny was because like she's dead.

Everybody run, the homecoming queen's got a gun
Everybody run, the homecoming queen has got a
Everybody run
Everybody run, the homecoming queen has got a
