This explains a lot. It appears that your stance is based upon your own personal hangups. You aren't able to control your base tendencies, so you assume that no one else can.
That's called "projection".
Boys that aren't attracted to girls. Kind of seems to be the point everyone is missing. Bamawriter did say that it could possibly be manipulated, but there are systems in place to prevent that.
No, it's called science. There are literally hundreds of books on the male brain. There are also a number of scientific studies, among gay and straight men, that have reached this conclusion. Again, a significant portion of gay men have ADMITTED to having sex with strangers in public places. I see this with the gay men that I am friends with as well. So I know from my own mindset, I know from research, and I know from acquaintences that this is the norm rather than the exception
This is not true. The boy only has CLAIM that he identifies as the other sex. There is no proof required, and the teachers are required to abide by his CLAIMS.
What is not true? That is the purpose of the law. Can it be manipulated? yes. I said that. Do I trust admins and the other students to make sure it does not happen? yes, most of the time.
I am reasonably sure it isn't an open bathroom policy. These things will have protocol and if girls in the locker room think there is mischief going on they will point it out.
No, I'm not. The law provides access to facilities. It does not guarantee company.
Again, I'm not saying that abuse isn't possible. But abuse should be able to be recognized out and dealt with.
There is nothing in the law that allows the staff to make any kind of judgement call as to the persons claimed sexuality.
Well, then like bama a couple pages ago, you are misinformed. What would you consider mischied? because if my daughter was in california, I would not want males to be showering with her. Is that mischief, or do you feel that is her problem and she should deal with it?
Right, the guy can be on the girl's team, and use the girl's facility, but the law doesn't guarentee that girl's on his team will be using the only girl's lockerroom during the game. :good!:
Show me how misinformed we all are with a credible source then.
Mischief being a straight boy being in the girls locker room.
If it were my own daughter then it would just depend. Is she fine with it and think the boy is certainly gay and no threat? Does she think it is a boy lying about his sexuality to just look at naked girls? Depends.
I cited my source a couple pages back... and then Bama said basically, hmmm, I was right that it is legislation that is signed into law and not just some judge acting on his own
Fine. In order to stop the pissing match, I'll concede to whatever you want me to concede to.
That said, back to hulkhands' question:
Where do you want the gay kid to shower?
Matt Miller on Michael Sam: NFL Execs Will Draft Criminals Before Distractions | Bleacher Report
Sums a few things up.
Predictions
1. Will go to Chargers. Makes complete sense.
2. Will wear as much Pink as possible "for breast cancer"
3. If he ever gets a chance to dance in the end zone. Get out your popcorn!
4. Late pick in Draft.
5. Locker room disruption.
Ok, let's say you live in California. You have twin, 14 year old boy and girl. An 18 boy who is gay will be showering with one of them, because hey, you were in the shower first, then he decides to get in too. Who would you prefer he shower with after the game?

Great point!
Neither. Going home to shower.
