Doctoral Degrees in Psychology
In order to become a licensed clinical or counseling psychologist, a doctorate degree is required. There are two types of doctorate degrees to choose from: the Ph.D. and the Psy.D. The traditional Ph.D. in Psychology degree is a research-focused degree that qualifies graduates to work in the field of clinical or counseling psychology. Earning a Ph.D. also qualifies psychologists to teach at the university level, conduct research and practice at mental health clinics, hospitals, schools, private industry, government and private practice.

I didn't catch that she was still a dude down below.. That no doubt should be a technicality in which locker room to use. Boy parts, use a boys room, that's just my opinion though.

I think that if someone hasn't had a sex change operation yet then it would be best if their genitals matched the locker room they went into.. but you are sick for suggesting that she should be shot, or even joking about it.edit on 11/2/2012 by Drezden because: (no reason given)

Same question to you: what if they have both?

What you're thinking of is a hermaphrodite... born with both male and female organs. The person in question is a male who identifies himself as a woman. More or less believes he was born the wrong sex, and cannot see himself as a male. He is on hormone therapy to become more feminine physically, but has not had a sex change operation so still has the male organs flopping about. He is currently living as a woman, but is still physically a male. Does that help?

Issue 1: The transgender person is ripped out of their mind on psych meds - likely making them manic and hypersexual. Issue 2: The person has obvious psychological and mental problems associated with their sexuality. Issue 3: All recreation centers have separate rooms that lock for the handicapped (and anybody else that requests one and pays for it).
Conclusion: They are not guilty of public indecency for reasons of mental illness and medical issues.

Hey guys and gals. What about him/her is female. I admit I'm a little lost on the transgendered science, but. Doesn't being transgendered mean born with both male an female Ummmmm things? I read he/she has a penis, and has a couple kids. So I'm assuming he/he has a working pair of Ummmmm acorns. Soooo what visually is female about he/she? Tatta's? Does he/she have a males frank and beans anddddd ovaries but does not ovulate? I understand he/she is taking hormones to be more woman than man? I mean is it a chromasone (spell check) thing identifieng him/her as a woman? So many questions.
I am hoping that the end of the Obama Administration will spell the beginning of the end of this sickness that has been trying so hard from every direction to engulf our country.

I didn't see anyone in this thread supporting the person in question, what is making people defensive is the use of this story to take out bigotry and hatred toward transexual women and men.
Doing that is very, very lame. There are SO MANY GOOD transexual people in the world! And, yes, there are some who are bad, and some who are crazy.
Just like there are blonde people who are good, bad, insane etc. One has no more relevance than the other, when it comes to trying to put an entire group of people into a box.
Stereotyping, bigotry, small-minded negativity directed toward people who are different, and therefor able to be labelled "them", or worse "it." It's a sad display of stupidity.edit on 2-11-2012 by maus80 because: add txt

Yes, because Obama singlehandedly created the entire transgender community.
Before Obama, it was the 1950s where there wasn't even gay people, much less cross dressers.

"I looked at her and said, 'excuse me?' And she said, 'You have to leave, I'll be right back," said Francis. "She wouldn't identify herself. All she said was that there were a couple of girls that came upstairs to the pool, and said that there was a man in the sauna."
the mother of a 17-year-old girl complained after her daughter saw the transgender individual walking naked in the locker room
The coach later apologized when she discovered the man was transgendered but explained there were girls using the facility as young as six years old who weren’t used to seeing male genitals
