Parents of Transgender 6-Year-Old Raise Complaint Against School Banning Child From Using Girl’s Restroom

Feb. 27, 2013 10:00pm Liz Klimas

The parents of a transgender 6-year-old are fighting against the rules in a Colorado school that banned their child from using the girls’ restroom, which is the gender she identifies with.

Coy Mathis was born as a male but, according to his parents, identifies as a female, dressing as girl, gravitating toward more traditionally female toys and expressing a wish to have female body parts.

Colorado Family Files Complaint for Transgender 6 Year Old Banned From Girls Bathroom

“It was starting to be obvious to us that Coy was really uncomfortable being a boy and wanted to know when we were going to take him to the doctor so that they would give him girl parts so that his body would be a girl,” Coy’s mother, Kathryn said, during an exclusive interview with Katie Couric’s show.

The child’s father, Jeremy, explained that Coy was evaluated by a psychologist who “affirmed Coy was transgender.” At this point, Coy’s parents decided to let their son express himself as their daughter.

Coy was 4 years old when she officially was allowed to express herself as a girl.

On Couric’s show, Coy’s parents explained that her school was initially accepting of her being transgendered but later decided that she would have to use the boy’s restroom or another more private one. Her parents decided to take legal action and with the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund filed a complaint.

Watch Couric’s interview:

According to the TLDEF’s website, Eagleside Elementary School had previously allowed Coy to use the girl’s restroom but in December 2012 informed her parents of the new rule.

To Couric, Kathryn Mathis said she just wants Coy to have the same opportunities as the other children.

“By forcing Coy to use a different bathroom than all the other girls, Coy’s school is targeting her for stigma, bullying and harassment,” Michael Silverman, TLDEF’s executive director and a lawyer in the case, said according to TLDEF. “Through the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, Coloradans have made it clear that they want all Colorado children to have a fair and equal chance in school. Coy’s school has the opportunity to turn this around and teach Coy’s classmates a valuable lesson about friendship, respect and basic fairness.”

On the other hand, the Denver Post reported the lawyer for Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8, William Kelly Dude, saying the school’s decision is in compliance with the anti-discrimination act:

That decision took into account “not only Coy, but other students in the building, their parents and the future impact a boy, with male genitals, using a girls’ bathroom would have as Coy grew older,” Kelly wrote in a Dec. 28 letter to Silverman.

Dude argued that the district is in compliance with the state Anti-Discrimination Act because “Coy attends class as all other students, is permitted to wear girls’ clothes and is referred to as the parents have requested,” and was allowed access to single-user restrooms used by employees or gender-neutral restrooms in the school’s health room.

As for how other states have handled the issue, CNN reported New York barring any discrimination due to gender identity, while a court in Maine decided a school district did not violate a student’s rights by banning them from the restroom their gender identity would prefer.

The Post reported further Kathryn Mathis saying at a news conference Wednesday that the family feels the restroom restriction “singles her our and stigmatizes her.”

“The school has a wonderful opportunity to teach students that differences are OK, and we should embrace their differences, instead of teaching them to discriminate against someone who is a little different,” she continued, according to the Post.

Watch Mathis speak with the press Wednesday:

Why is The Blaze so obsessed with promoting this particular form of child abuse? There is no such thing as a “transgender child” – these children are horribly abused – their parents should be arrested and charged and the children moved into a safe environment – and yet, time and time again, The Blaze praises and promotes this type of shocking abuse.

Disgusting. BLAZE – PLEASE STOP PROMOTING CHILD ABUSE!

  I think it’s great that kids are learning about this kind of stuff at an earlier age. When I was a kid, I was in the sixth grade before I knew there was any such thing as a tranny. It’s a sin that we were allowed to remain so ignorant for so long. This is a much better time to be a kid. Even if stupid parents try to keep them from learning about the world around them, the internet has made unlimited porn of every imaginable variety available to all the children of the world.

  READ MY LIPS, PEOPLE–
  
  The cause of this is not parents, nor DHS. These children have been fed genetically modified food all their little lives! GMOs=Genetically modified children!!!
  
  Think about it. Have any of you who have been around for awhile ever in your lifetime seen any society deal with such an issue–babies as soon as they can talk wanting sex operations? NO!
  Teens and young people in past few years yes.
  
  If you think through this issue, it’s pretty clear this is a less-than-obvious form of DEPOPULATION, isn’t it? Little girls with “boy parts” and boys without….. No longer in the natural can they create children…nor want to….think about it…..what you end up with is emasculated males and women like
  Chastity Bono. (Can’t think of his new name).

  Let me ask you a question.
  
  You have a five year old child. I’m going to assume that you love that child with everything in your being.
  
  Your child is miserable. They cry, they’re depressed, and they can’t seem to find any joy in their life. They’re having problems making and keeping friends, are doing poorly in school, and spend most of their time moping around their room. The child tells you on a regular basis that they were born into the wrong body, and that they wish that they had never been born. All of a sudden they start self-harming themselves. They threaten suicide, and you catch your child in an attempt.
  
  After getting some professional help, the MD tells you that your child would be more comfortable presenting in a gender that is opposite what the chomosomes and external plumbing suggest, and tells you that all of these serious problems will disappear if the child starts presenting the way that he or she wants. Fearing that you’re going to lose your child, you decide to give it a shot.
  
  Within weeks, the depression lifts. Your child starts making friends. He or she is succeeding in school. They’re happy, and enjoying life again. They’re no longer harming themselves, are no longer telling you that they wish that they were dead, and have started acting like a normal child. There are no more suicide attempts. You finally feel as if your child is safe again.
  
  What would you do in this situation?

  Would you let your preconceived notions force you to tell your child to “suck it up”, and cut the nonsense, thus drastically increasing the chances that you’re going to find a dead child when you go to get the child ready for school? Or will you allow the child to present in the desired gender which will fix all of the problems without much cost, any dangerous, psychoactive drug therapy, or pain and anguish on the part of the child?
  
  Gender is NOT what is laid out in the chomosomes, or what exists between a person’s legs. Gender is what the brain thinks a body is, and those two things can be diametrically opposed in many people.
  
  If my child can have a happy life, and a good prognosis by presenting as a member of the opposing gender, I’m going to do everything I can to make that happen. And I don’t care how an ignorant society feels. I’d prefer a bunch of annoyed neighbors, schoolmates, co-workers and family members to having a dead child. I can educate those folks. I can’t bring back a dead child.

  We have a neighbor boy that started dressing up in my daughters princess costumes at age 4. No one was encouraging him, actually my son was trying to get him to play sports or military games with no success. The boy’s parents would get distressed when they would come get him and he was dressed as snow white. They definitely were not encouraging the behavior. There may not be an easy answer here… no one should have to share a bathroom with the opposite sex at school, but I do know that people can be born with both sets of genitalia, so why can’t they have other genetic diferences we can’t see? My kids tell me he only hangs out with girls. Eventually it will probably come out he is gay…it happens for whatever reason. God gives us challenges, it’s how we handle them and treat others that counts.

  Are these parents out of their mind? The kid is six, he doesn’t have a sexual identity yet. The child has a penis, he’s a boy. He needs to use the little boy’s room. He’s 6 and he’s still growing, put boy clothes on him. These parents are sick, this is child abuse.

  MS: “Gender is NOT what is laid out in the chomosomes, or what exists between a person’s legs. Gender is what the brain thinks a body is, and those two things can be diametrically opposed in many people.”
  
  For a party that loves “science”, you people sure ignore what doesn’t fit your narrative. Gender is determined by chromosomes, period. The boy has a penis, he is a boy. He’s 6, he doesn’t have a sexual identity yet. He’s acting out. He doesn’t “Identify as the opposite gender”. Yes, this boy does need to just suck it up, grow up, and move on. You seriously need to go take some biology, anatomy and physiology, and some genetics classes. The kind of classes where you actually look at fact, not just ask you how you feel about the facts.

  there is only way a 6 year old could be transgender: Boy to Girl – if the idiots who are the parents dress him as a girl. oh, and that explains it. This couple is from the new california – colorado.
  
  I agree – a lot more stuff happening in the world for the liberal left staff of the blaze to put this as a top story. This is why subscriptions are declining on blazetv/gbtv and the push to get the struggling channel on different carriers.

Why are the parents obsessed with the transgender issue. Put the kid in boy clothes, explain to him that God and nature made him a little boy and he should be proud of what he is.

  So sad, gone are the days of just being a kid, having a carefree and innocent childhood. Everything has consequences, including the gender-neutral push going on in this country now. Years ago, little girls who didn’t like to wear dresses, liked to climb trees, played with toy trucks, were called “tomboys,” but it didn’t mean they should be boys. Maybe they had a lot of brothers and wanted to fit in with them. Then they grew up, into women. Where does a kid get the idea, he “wanted to know when we were going to take him to the doctor so that they would give him girl parts so that his body would be a girl”? Was it the psychologist that told him he was “transgender,” how old was he then, 4? Kids go through different stages as they grow, and hopefully with guidance from their parents they learn in different ways, including through modeling, but if it’s necessary to take a 4-year-old to a counselor, I would have opted for Christian counseling.

  Those parents should be charged with child abuse. They are raising a mentally ill child (they probably are at fault for it) and now everyone else is suppose to change for them? This is the problem with perversion is that everyone else is suppose to change to suite them.

  That was my first thought. I don’t understand when women and our right to privacy (and not to mention our right to defend ourselves) have become disposable. I wear pants and wish I didn’t have a period every month…does that make me a boy? Perhaps, so there is no confusion, we should rename bathrooms. How about X Chromosome and Y Chromosomes bathrooms?

  Fully agree. Everything they used as justification for his being a girl is based purely on stereotypes to begin with. Is it really an issue if a boy likes girls’ toys or clothing? Why does he have to become a girl in order to like things that are stereotypically female? How is this any different than forcing a girl to take dance lessons instead of sports or telling a boy that pink can’t be his favorite color? Just allow people to express themselves as they wish instead of having to conform to society’s stereotypes.

This kid is going to grow out of it, then be embarrassed for the rest of time by his parents showing pictures to his future girlfriend that he used to dress in little girls’ clothes.

  Fantastic point about the cat analogy! Beautifully logical. He is a boy. He is not a hermaphrodite. He is a boy. To insist that you identify with being a girl is no different than someone who insists that they identify with being a cat. I’d do one better than the litter box. Nudity. Animals don’t wear clothes, unless forced to by their oppressive owners. The argument holds up and parallels in every way. Reminds me of “The Life of Brian”: Francis – “It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.” Reg – “It’s symbolic of his struggle against reality.”

  Some babies are born with what the medical community
  calls AMBIGUOUS GENITALS.
  For many decades, because it was surgically easier, doctors operated
  and made ‘vaginas’. The parents knowing the child would never have
  kids of her own.
  And guess what?
  Many of these girls at 2 or 3 like sports more than dolls.
  And trucks and soldiers more than easy bake ovens.

  VERCEOFREASON – You’re right, it’s not only about what is on the outside… and it’s what is inside that completely destroys your argument. Unless the person is born with an outright trisomy for chromosome 23 (that’s XXY), then the person is biologically and anatomically male or female. The incidence of that condition is extraordinarily rare. No matter what the person “identifies as”, every single cell in their body identifies them according to their genetic makeup. In other words, there is no genetic ambiguity despite what doctors deem un- or overdeveloped genitalia at birth.
  
  This case typifies the more common incident where a person is born absolutely normal and psychologically wants to play out a role that they have assumed due to exposure of what it “means to be a boy or a girl” in our society. So the kid likes pink and wants to play with barbies, that doesn’t make him a girl… it makes him psychologically obsessed with activities that have been branded “girlish.” i.e. It doesn’t matter what I identify myself as, my identity is not a choice to be selected it is a state of being that I have to accept.

What two year old decides they want to be a boy or a girl? Last I knew, mature people who know right from wrong can. I thought it was the parents responsibility to mentor their children. This in my opinion is the wrong way to do it and what I mean is to start dressing the boy in girls clothing at two. These parents need to be locked up!

It’s parents like them that screw up our society and make our children messed up. Shame on them…..shame on them!

  @Verceofreason: What the heck does how many kids that belong to a family have to do with this?? If you have Male parts you go to a mens bathroom. If you have female parts you go to a womens bathroom. I posted something similar to this earlier but apparently The Blaze thought that what I had posted was wrong since it never showed up in the comments. But I don’t care how The Blaze feels. If God created you with women’s parts then, surprise, surprise….You are a women. If He created you with mens parts, surprise, surprise….you are a man. Life’s a b___ch. You just have to deal with it. Should we let perverts who use the “transgender” excuse to use the bathroom of their choice??? I don’t think so!

Uh…More nonsense. He’s 6, and somehow the parents think he is mature enough and cognizant enough to make grownup decisions? I hope they are not having anymore children for their sake. Where is child protective services?

  It’s trending nowdays to be publicly acknowledged as “Tolerant”, “Diverse”, and Politically Correct” (Brangelina) It’s obvious that the mom anyway is in need of attention and needs to be publicly identified as all of the above. There is no need to make your child famous at 6 for being different. Her child is now absolutely labeled as trans-gendered, not as Coy. He will most likely be confronted constantly now thanks to his parents propelling him into public exposure.

If I was the state attorney general, I would have those parents on charges of child abuse, if the boy is a boy, he’s a boy, period, anything else is emotional abuse by the parents that should be stopped immediately, to include a court ordered therapy session to reverse the preventable damage they caused to their own child?

  You call for professional therapy to help the parents but seem to dismiss the professional therapist who diagnosed the child as being transgendered. Can you say cognative dissonance? Clearly, you have some prejudices that don’t allow youb to analyze this story well and the same goes for most of the posters I see here. Leave the homophobia at the door bc this issue is real and kis and parents have to deal with it. You don’t think this has been hard for those parents? I hope you never have a family member born transgendered though I think it would be a good learning experience for a lot of you ignorant bible thumpers.

  If you let all of the 17-year old male to female transgender students go to the girls’ room, one of them might rape a girl some day, but if you make them go to the boys’ room, all of them will get raped by a boy every day.

It must be very difficult for the child, however your sex is based on anatomy not feelings. I would livid if I was to find out that a little boy was in the girls restroom at the same time my daughter was. I also feel environment affects children more than anything. I was a single father with custody from the time my daughter was 1 1/2 until she was almost 6. It was not until I remarried she became interested in the stereotypical female activities. She spent her time with dad fishing, fixing and doing other “guy” stuff. It may be possible that the child is doing what he thinks will make his parents happy.

  You are so stupid.
  
  I read a case where a person did not have a receptor for androgen. Everyone thought the person had 2 X chromosomes until puberty hit & for some reason they started standing up to pee. then the doctors figured out the biological problem.
  
  If there is so much females hormone as Verce claims (or hopes), Coy would not have developed male parts.
  
  BTW is coy a male name or even a female name? Or are the freaking parents being COY about their ulterior motives?

A wee bit selfish –eh?

Naturally Coy’s parents want what they think is best for their child.
However, they are only concerned with what their child feels –and thinks.
They want Coy to feel –whatever is– normal. That’s wonderful.

But, talk about potentially confusing, and waaaay too much information for the other kids.

Wishing the best of luck, true frienships and much happiness to Coy.

But ~~>When Coy no longer has male genetalia, the girl’s room and locker room welcome her.

  Hi Spirited:
  The problem is a 6 year old doesn’t know what they want. And just because a psychologist is saying that doesn’t mean the good Dr is right. How many Dr.s are quacks. At this age they need to teach their son, not give into his whims.
  
  I remember my son at that age really wanting to learn Karate, I told him I will buy him the gear and lessons, but he had to sign a contract that he would stick with it for one year. He agreed and I made my wife agree also, sure enough after 2 months he said he was bored with it and didn’t want to go anymore, I pulled out the contract and told him, “you gave me your word, I am going to hold you to your promise” I made him stick it out for a year, and then asked him, You can quit now if you want, he stuck with Karate for the next 8 years and only quit when he football and tennis became more important. Now he learned and that is what parents jobs are, to teach your children lasting lessons, not give in to their whims.
  
  Sorry for the rant, but these kind of parents drive me nuts, it seems they want to be friends with their kids, not parents.

Good God, let the poor kid grow up with love and support and don’t make freak show out of him. He’s 6!!!!!!

I find it highly troubling that the behavior was encouraged at four years old. The child is not at a stage in their cognitive development or socialization to fully comprehend gender roles or to make a decision regarding gender association.

  The mother said, “our other children”.
  
  Wonder if there is a real statistic about transgendered children, in terms of, if they are an only child, children, an eldest child, a middle child, the youngest child.
  
  If so, that may be helpful in better assessing IF transgendered is a natural phenominan (so to speak).

“There’s no consensus on how to treat it in somebody Coy’s age because of a lack of data on the disorder in prepubescent children. Research suggests that many children gradually become “comfortable with their natal gender,” an APA task force reported in 2011. But the goal of any treatment should be to help the child adjust to its reality, the APA said.” -Vancouver Sun

But the Transgender Legal Defence & Education Fund will insists on messing Coy Mathis up.

Maybe Coy caught the cues as a 1 year old or younger that his sister got doted on more. I have seen it happen before.

Just letting a child go through life like this is LAZY.. “we noticed at 18 months” pleeeeeeeeeease.. it’s like, “oh its a phase they will grow out of it, and if they don’t its ok.” NO its not okay. What will happened if the kids starts slapping other kids around? Are they going to just say, “its just a phase, this is how they express themselves when they are upset.”

  A serious answer to your question. I have some cousins that mentally crippled their son with this kind of parenting, they were Hippies, always filled their son with wierd ideas, for a year, when he was about 4, they dressed him in girls clothes to get him to see what it was like to be a girl, the kid grew up so screwed up in the head, he ended up becoming a drug addict and was killed in a car crash when he was 24. Both of my cousins were to blame for screwing him up so bad, he was picked on at school and just couldn’t get along with anyone. That is why I look at these two and have such a strong opinion. I know what they are going to do to this kid. So I hope this helps you understand a little where I am coming from.

These parents should be ashamed of themselves. Certainly, some children struggle with their sexual identity, but to put them in this position and make it so public will have a very negative impact on the child. If you must, set up a private meeting with the school to allow the child to use a gender neutral teachers bathroom.

  These kinds of programs help educate people that LGBT folks are pretty much like the rest of us. They take care of their families, they pay taxes, they volunteer in the community, and make the world a better place. They’re not the horrible people that the media used to suggest that they were. It’s good that LGBT people are no longer content to hide in the closet, and are now willing confront ignorant people to demand that they’re not going to be relegated to second-class status any longer.

  Everyone wants to be special to be though of well. The root word special comes from the same root as specific. We are all special to our families and that is the way it should be. It makes for happy people if it does properly & sincerely.
  
  It is sick for someone wanting to be special to all people for all time. Like when certain megalomaniac Roman emperors wanted to worshiped as Gods.
  
  Mohammed was onto something when he advocated for nondescript burials for everyone. I think there is a lot to that. It is one of the things I like about Islam. But it should not be forced like the cursed & damn_d jihadis blowing up tombs. There is something good about marking a burial place. There is something gaudy & off with trying to have the biggest one in the cemetery.
  
  Yes people are special. Coy is special. But how Coy & the parents are going about it is wrong. It is like having overweening pride.
