This country gets more and more screwed up every day. The schools and government promote b-s like this then wonder why students fall through the cracks and end up like Cho.. If you have a sexual identity problem then ok but it's not right to push it on to everyone else. If these people want to be accepted then they should be "the better person" and have some respect for others. Just as God was pushed out of school so wasn't any sense of value.

I think Fresno CA is pretty liberal region. But, I don't see it happening in places like South Dakota. I wish the news had told us if this student was very popular and well liked or if the school did this just to make a point to the nation.
And the legal argument on for this can be tricky too. Since the person's birth certificate would stil have female as sex. I know there is a transgener female golfer too (formerly male).
Some might see it as just gay, transgener rights issue, but for some it will be about fairness of competition. I don't know if this person have any unfair advantages, but I think can see in that transgender female pro golfer.

I usually don't have a problem with Gays, trans-genders and whomever fits in these categories, although I don't agree with it, but come on. A king is a male, and queens, no joke here intended, are women. Let's leave it at that for crying out loud

Let he/she do what he/she wants. What does it matter to anyone what his/her orientation is? Who does it hurt?
Most Americans are repelled by this behavior, but I think that orientation is built in - no one is going to change it. It's the variety of evolution and human nature.
If someone likes to live their lives in a perfectly legal and non-intrusive way, I don't think that anyone else should care.
BTW, I'm a 62 year old heterosexual dad of two apparently heterosexual children, and I have no dog in this fight.

i think they should leave a king a male and a queen a female...she could have dressed in her tux and been queen!
everyone who knows her knows she is a transgendered girl...that should be left at that, not flaunted like it is something that needs to be publicized!
