  • So now it is discrimination to tell a girl to use the girl's bathroom?

    We are so screwed!

    A federal appeals court in Richmond has ruled that a transgender high school student who was born as a female can sue his school board on discrimination grounds because it banned him from the boys’ bathroom. In backing high school junior Gavin Grimm, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit deferred to the U.S. Education Department’s position that transgender students should have access to the bathrooms that match their gender identities rather than being forced to use bathrooms that match their biological sex. The department has said that requiring transgender students to use a bathroom that corresponds with their biological sex amounts to a violation of Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination at schools that receive federal funding.

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          Her widdle feewings were huwt cause she had to use a separate bathroom because she refused to use the one she had the plumbing for. She acted like it was the separate bathroom that made her stand out...

              Using the bathroom is a biological function. Why shouldn't it be segregated on biological lines?

                This paragraph from the article provides a good argument.

                Transgender students say that using the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity is important for them — and others — to feel comfortable. A transgender boy who appears male may generally raise alarms if he is forced to use the girls’ bathroom.
                The student looks like a boy to me. If I was a girl and using the girl's room and he walked in, I would be alarmed.

                  First off, the article is using leading language. Calling her a "transgender boy" and "he" instead of "her" and "a girl who appears male" is intentionally biasing the reader. Second, it is about the transgender expecting acceptance, not some faux concern for others and how they will feel.


                  The student looks like a boy to me.
                  So? She isn't one. She is a female with a vagina and breasts. The men's room is not equipped to handle her special monthly needs, nor should it be.

                  If I was a girl and using the girl's room and he walked in, I would be alarmed.
                  Until she said she wasn't a he, then it'd be fine.

                    It is more about attention than anything else. If you REALLY look like a boy no one will be concerned if you use the boy's restroom. If you look like a girl dressed up like a boy that is a whole other question.
                    Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

                      The problem is that it is a small community, and everyone knows she is a she who wants to be a he. She will never be able to use the men's room without everyone knowing she is really a girl pretending to be a boy. And I have a feeling this will not end well for her...

                        To quote Orwell:

                        One of the peculiar phenomena of our time is the renegade Liberal. Over and above the familiar Marxist claim that ‘bourgeois liberty’ is an illusion, there is now a widespread tendency to argue that one can only defend democracy by totalitarian methods. If one loves democracy, the argument runs, one must crush its enemies by no matter what means. And who are its enemies? It always appears that they are not only those who attack it openly and consciously, but those who ‘objectively’ endanger it by spreading mistaken doctrines. In other words, defending democracy involves destroying all independence of thought.

                          We had a Edited by a Moderator working here at my shop. He dressed normal at work, but when you saw him out and about he was dressed up. No one ever bothered him, we were always kind - but that is not good enough - we as a society must accept their proclivities, and accept them in law.
