Political correctness aside, the student was born male and has all the identifying features of a male. Do you feel this one student's rights supersede those of all the other students (especially the girls) who might find this situation quite uncomfortable?

According to the article, the school attempted a compromise by permitting the student to utilize his own, private, showering and changing facilities, but the "Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Education told the district that requiring a transgender student to use private changing and showering facilities was a violation of that student's rights."
