Courtenay - I think you already know the answer.

I agree with Marjorie McBride - "dissenting not because she doesn’t support transgender rights, but because she doesn’t believe the policy’s language is effective enough". The policy only deals with "transgender and gender non-conforming" students. I don't see any language that specifically addresses other genderqueer students such as those identifying as gender-fluid, bigender, trigender, or pangender. Where are their rights protected?

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
