And if the kid felt he was the king of England, the school should have no problem treating him as such. Future monarchs are treated just like everyone else in school. Except for the bodyguard thing. Which is not paid for by the school. Presumably it would be the same for reigning achild monarchs these days, although in the old days, child monarch were "home-schooled"

This is true. However, a transgender person actually IS the the other sex. They were just born with the wrong body.

No they're not, they are what they are medically. They think they are the opposite sex and wish to act like they are, but legally they are not.

The law doesn't put a lot of restrictions of people based of sex, other than separate bathrooms and attempting to fool people. That's fair.

Maybe. And maybe they were born with indistinct genetalia, and were cosmetically altered, to assign them to a specific gender. What would that make them "medically"...? What God made them, or what man decided they should be? Again, I don't know if this is the case here, but, again, I've gotten zero response on this point. I think it goes to the heart of the matter: that gender isn't a neatly catagorized thing, yet we are only comfortable considering it as such.

In such a case, the uncomfortability would be squarely our problem, not that of an innocent kid who is living the experience.
