OMG that's just horrifying. Big protective virtual hugs to Two.

I'd like to think that, at worst, he'd only have mild-moderate "ordinary" bullying to deal with if he came out (well, of course, ideally I'd like him to never be harassed at all, but I'm a realist), but it's articles like this that make you really wonder at the vitriol and hatred people are capable of. Against a CHILD.

LVN did not come out until after high school graduation. She preferred to be dehydrated rather than try to get bathroom rights, so she often drank nothing all day.

I'm pretty sure Two still avoids school bathrooms when he can, even now, when only admins know he's trans. (And he refuses to take any beverage to school unless I recently treated him to juice boxes/bags.) He's been using public mens' rooms since 4th grade, though.

Has LVN ever been given any trouble in a public women's restroom? Or does she avoid those, too? What is the general political atmosphere in your town?

LVN has never been given any trouble. Most people don't realize she's trans. She tells them if/when it's appropriate for them to know, but for example the guys on my trivia team had no idea. At first she was a bit worried about the women's restroom but not anymore.
