Bobby Montoya a 7 year old transgender boy is living his life as a girl. He walks like a girl talks like a girl dresses like a girl, and he wants to be a girl scout. He was told that he wasn't allowed to be in the girl scouts because he has boy parts. Is this unfair to do to a child? It was later told to the troop leader that she was allowed to have a boy in the girl scouts. She was afraid that she would get in trouble for allowing a young boy into her troop.
Is that fair to the girls already in the group? Is it fair to the boy to not let him be who he wants to be? I don't have the answers to these questions, but I do know that I would think that because part of the girl scout code states equality that they would show better tolerance than that showed by the troop leader. It is hard to get used to anything different in life especially if it goes against everything you grew up believing is right. However tolerance and equaility are the rights of every human life. We need to learn that just because we think its wrong does not make it wrong.
