Should a transgender boy be permitted to compete for prom king?

“Yes. If the person is presenting as a boy, he should be respected as such. If you can fill the description, sex organs don’t matter. I think that even a butch lesbian should be allowed to compete for prom king, if she wants to.”

“Yes. Equality should apply in that situation. If the child wants to be a boy, he can be a boy. Adults shouldn’t deny him the opportunity to do what he wants to do.”

“Yes. As long as he identifies as a male, he should have that right. Being a prom king is about a student’s personality, their popularity, friendliness, things like that. The focus shouldn’t be on the student’s biological gender.”

“Yes. Why not? It’s a step in the right direction for gender-identity equality. The qualification [for prom king] shouldn’t be about genitalia, it should be about mental identity.”
