"If I win, it would mean that the school recognizes me as the gender I always felt I was," Cassidy said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times . "But with all the attention, I realized it's bigger than me," she said. "I'm doing this for the kids who can't be themselves."

Marina High administrators have also received positive attention for their response to Cassidy’s campaign.

"If Marina High School is to make high-profile news during its homecoming week this year," Morrow said in a statement published by the Times, "then we are proud that the message is one of equity and individual respect."

Good for her! Good for the school! I think this a great step in the right direction.

No! The faggots, dykes and trannies had finally got California and they've finally brought forth their agenda to ban Christianity! RIP California, now the fag state. [/fanatical Christian asshole]

Actually, I'm sorry that I would even jokingly spew vile homophobic and transphobic slander like that.

If it's transphobic douchebaggery you want, just read...NEARLY EVERY FUCKING COMMENT ON THE ARTICLE. Ugh.

That said, congratulations to Miss Campbell.

I refused to look at the comments. I'd rather just be happy for that delightful girl.

It's Yahoo. Forget about it. The comments from that site, and the fact that it represents more or less than half of this country make me want to-



I mean, this shit rivals YouTube comments.

That's good, although I hope the school allows gay couple to be two kings or two queens.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

On the bright side I did manage to find one person on Yahoo who possessed more than one brain cell.

Wow everybody here is so ignorant about Biology. Gender does not depend solely upon your X and Y chromosomes. And trasngender isn't about just physical gender. It's about how the person identifies mentally.
 And don't people say that your body is irrelevant and its your soul that really matters? Well then, this teen's soul is female. The body isn't. But so what?
