Bobby Montoya vs Girl Scouts

Since, the seven years old, Bobby Montoya, was two, he always identified himself as a female. Bobby feels comfortable and happy the way he was, until a rude troop leader told him he could join. He was extremely devastated. Felisha Archuleta, Bobby's mom, and Rose Archuleta, Bobby’s grandmother, is making the argument.

Analysis
The fallacy that was committed was called appeal to pity. Appeal to pity fallacy occurs when an arguer attempts to support a conclusion by merely evoking pity from the reader or listener. This pity may be directed toward the arguer or toward some third party. In the article, there where statements that made this argument an fallacy.

For an example:
“The woman was so rude and made him cry," she huffed to The Daily News during a
phone interview Wednesday night. "I mean, he was devastated by what she
said."

"I really got upset because my grandson is himself. We've all accepted it,"

"We've all accepted Bobby as he is, and for this lady to talk to him that way, it was just awful. This lady shouldn't be working with kids."

This particular situation or argument is much bigger than just Bobby. If Bobby had been accepted into the Girl Scouts troop, wouldn’t it question the way the girls go camping, and their privacy?
