6. Is your daughter a transsexual?

I ask as a hypothetical. That makes a difference in this case.

The young lady deserves to be treated like every other girl in that school. The extent to which she isn't is the extent to which she will be seen by the students as an other and ripe for bullying.

The school administration is making a big mistake here. If I were the girl's parent I would pull her out of the school if they didn't immediately change their ruling.

I would then even pull up the family and relocate, if necessary, to put my daughter into a safe and understanding educational environment. There are schools who know how to deal with these issues. Apparently this school is not one of them.

No compromise on this. She's a girl.
