I can't watch the video, but did they give a reason? At all? Or is it just hypocritical dickishness?

I feel stuck.

- studies: POOR <Finals in 10 days, preparation minimal, will low>
- programming: STAGNANT <Haven't finished anything, haven't programmed in a while, lacks time to program anyways>
- college prospects: DISMAL <only thing going for me are good standardized test scores. Grades mediocre and I don't have much to show other than programming stuffs that college admissions officers may ignore>

 :(
I know those feels. The best you can hope for is to set aside time especially for studies and the like, make sure the computer/TV/etc. is off when you get on to it. If you can't salvage your grades this time, make sure you're prepared for the next time around.
If concentration time is an issue, start by setting out short times, then make them longer as you get distracted less often.

This is the last time. There is no next time, I think.

Basically it's because the kid is transgender. They can call it whatever they want, but that's why. He pretty much looks like a girl and they don't like that one bit.

:( I was making more of a long term statement. Can you go back next year and repeat that which you failed this year?

Hypocritical dickishness it is, then.

If that's the case, and that's a yahoo news article, then the comments will probably make you lose your faith in humanity.

Yeah, you can here. They straight up say it's cause the card says "male" and the kid doesn't look male.

Funny how it's a major pain to change what the card says anyhow. GO figure.

LordSlowpoke makes a valid point. Here in the Sheep Kingdom, makeup is permissible on official documents AFAIK. Though being a non-makeup-wearing man, the subject doesn't come up often.

Also, side note: Isn't the general standard for determining someone's sex what they have between their legs? Dangling or otherwise? Or did the crazy liberals decide that you shouldn't let parts of your body oppress you?

AFAIK I've never had vegemite before.

If you took my honey/jam/cream away from me, I would kill you though.
Also, are all crossdressers transgenders? Or are the two not mutually exclusive?

I understand it is basically a spreadable salt. *shudders*
