One would think a small city in the upper Midwest wouldn't be a likely location for the latest example of "transgender" lunacy. But as great as this information revolution we are living through is, as great is the massive influx of information that is available to us, literally at our fingertips, there's a big cloud behind that silver lining, and that is that the silliest of social contagions spreads with the speed of summer lightning.
And there will always be those who will take advantage of these social contagions for their own purposes. The latest example comes to us from just such a small city in the upper Midwest, which you're probably familiar with. You would think Kenosha, Wisconsin, would have had its fill of national notoriety by now. But this time, at least, there wasn't a riot.
No, this time it's just another boy, claiming to be "transgender," flaunting his wedding tackle in a high school girl's locker room, and the school's abominable handling of the situation.
Several parents of female students have contacted KCE with a very serious concern. According to allegations shared with KCE by multiple sources:
A boy has been using the girls’ locker room to change at Westosha Central High School. He stares at the young girls while they change and that makes them feel very uncomfortable. Some of the girls began to use the stalls to change. When they would exit, the boy would be exposing his penis and rubbing himself with lotion. He claimed to the girls that the lotion was to “prevent chafing.”
OK, I'm not going to comment on the "lotion" bit except to note that this has nothing to do with chafing; you can fill in the blanks, I suspect, for yourselves. But what's really bad is the gym teacher's reaction when the girls complained - and we must note that "some or most" of these girls are freshmen, meaning they are 14-15 years old. Kenosha County Eye's report (linked above) continued:
The boy changes in the full nude, often exposing his penis and testicles. Many girls, some or most which are freshmen, approached the gym teacher, Miranda Hopkins. Hopkins told the girls that the boy “identifies” as a girl, so they have to let him have access. (Miranda is of no relation to a local school board member and teacher, Brian Hopkins, nor his father, Salem Lakes Trustee Bill Hopkins.)
There is a family locker room in the school that the girls starting using, but Hopkins told the girls they can’t use it and to stop “stirring up drama.” The girls then stopped changing in the locker room and went to gym class without the proper gym clothes on. The school punished them by marking down their grades and handing out “unexcused absences.”
It's past time for a reality check here. This boy can "identify" as Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, but he's not - and he's not a girl, either. This kid has had no surgery since his... items are reportedly intact. The story doesn't mention any hormone treatments, and Wisconsin has not banned those treatments for minors. But this young man, by reports, is emphatically not a girl.
Parents are complaining to no avail. Oh, they tried:
Multiple parents have called the school multiple times and the school leadership finally called [sic] seemingly tried to address the issue. The girls were told that the boy is no longer allowed in the female locker room, but they say he isn’t listening to that directive.
One girl was allegedly assaulted by this boy as she told him to “put [his] dick away,” and he pushed the girl. He was suspended for this violence and/or smashing a chromebook [sic] in a fit of rage against another student. Some students have told school staff that the boy has threatened to “shoot up the school”, but they say the teachers laughed it off and told the students not to be “dramatic.”
Not to be dramatic. That's a heck of a thing to say to these kids, much less the parents of a 14-year-old daughter who has to watch a boy flaunt his stuff in the girls' locker room.
What's really troubling about this is the fact that this will almost certainly escalate. This boy - yes, he's a boy, he always has been a boy and always will be a boy - is already escalating. He allegedly attacked a girl who objected to his presence in the girls' locker room - and he's threatening to commit a school shooting?

I can't read minds, but there's just a lot about this case that stinks, and I mean like a dead skunk that's been under the porch for most of an Midwestern, August heat wave. Has this boy seen any mental health professionals? Is his claim to being "transgender" being supported by any clinician or counselor, or did he just decide this all on his own and demand to be allowed in the girls' locker room? What is he hoping to gain by insisting on this when his female classmates obviously object?
Well, the lotion incident gives us a pretty good idea of what he's hoping to gain. This is speculation, pure and simple, but this seems a lot like this kid is gaming the system, for obvious reasons.
The parents of kids in Westosha High School now have to stand up. Show up at school board meetings. Demand answers. Demand action. If this boy has been barred from the girl's locker rooms, make sure he stays out, and suspend or expel him if he defies the order.
This has to end. Now.
