Democracy, when I was in school, was taught and defined as: The rule of the majority.
Merriam Webster listed this as the primary definition: government by the people; especially : rule of the majority
Here's what wordweb has to say.
1. The political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives.
2. A political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them.
3. The doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group.
The recent controversy/protest in a Missouri school raises more than just the issue of "born that way." This agenda of accommodation will crumble the very foundation of democracy.
The rights of one self-focused boy claiming to be gender confused, is posed to usurp the rights of the majority. That is not how democracy works!

I can't determine whether this is a case of gender confusion or simple narcissism, but it is clearly not a case of democracy in action!
