    Why not just change the names until after the votes are tallied?

    Because this makes more sense. It's also less sexist.

    Why can't there be two kings? two queens? This is a stupid idea.

    Not really. I've always found King and Queen in Prom kinda totally sexist. Now that it's gender-neutral at this school it's just so much better. :slight_smile:

    I think it will die without the tradition.

    Meh, sounds kinda stupid to me. He's a dude. Just let him run for prom king. We don't need to complicate a simple gender binary for the purposes of "inclusiveness" since the vast majority of people, transgendered or not, identify as either one or the other.
