Coming out as a transgender girl at the age of six means you have to hit the road running.First of all, the mere fact you are doing it at all is front page news and then the real fun begins. In this case I'm referring to Coy Mathis who was diagnosed as being transgender at the age of four in Colorado. Predictably when she started school, Coy was banned from using the girls bathroom.
Her parents promptly fought back and filed a formal discrimination lawsuit against the school system and they won! In a landmark decision, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruled Coy must be permitted to use the girl's bathroom!
There simply are no words to adequately express admiration for Coy's family (and others) who are carrying the transgender rights fight to the public and the courts!
