The Colorado transgender case

Here is a second the case involving a transgender students restroom privileges  (the first mentioned on another post was from Maine).   In this case a young male had identified as a female throughout child.  During her first-grade school year her family had her withdrawn to instead be home home-schooled, due to her treatment by the school.   Similar to the case hailing out of Maine, this student was forced to use a staff restroom which secluded her from the rest of the body.   The Colorado and Maine courts each ruled that the schools 'simplistic' approach cannot be tolerated.   I believe that a person, a child nonetheless, should be able to be recognized as the gender by which they psychologically identify.  I also recognizing the challenging moral and social issues that raise controversy to this issue.   I think it is clearly inappropriate to segregate transgender students, but I can see where the opposing view might discourage such situations due to the sexual premise.
