A transgender student’s fight over school bathrooms comes before a federal appeals court Thursday, setting the stage for a groundbreaking ruling.

The district argues that Adams is not a boy and that he should be excluded from the boys’ bathroom because those born as boys have “the right to be free from exposing one’s private and personal space and unclothed and partially clothed body to members of the opposite sex.”

The trial judge rejected this argument, finding that Adams would use a stall and that no breach of privacy would occur. “Plaintiff’s anatomy has no relevance to his ability to use the boys’ restroom,” wrote Adams’ lawyer, Tara Borelli of Lambda legal. “Defendant’s witnesses conceded at trial that Drew is treated differently because he is transgender, which is sex discrimination.”

The district argues that the trial judge “overextended” a 2011 decision by the 11th Circuit that found the state of Georgia had illegally discriminated against an employee of the state legislature by firing the employee when she announced her transition from male to female. The district also argues that a federal educational law that bans discrimination “on the basis of sex” doesn’t cover transgender people.

Borelli, though, say the law, called Title IX, does cover transgender people and that it’s impossible for the school board to carry out its desired policy without sex-based discrimination.

Purely hogwash

My male biased take: all bathrooms should be any-gender, but have PRIVATE stalls. Except multi-user urinals and train cars and about 100 other exceptions. On second thought, if it works, don't fix it. There's a tree on the right and a bush to your left.

Destroy the world for the 'feels' of one. Damn good plan, geniuses. Lets see how this one backfires.

Public bathrooms are for animal savages. They are filthy and full of fecal matter on everything. You would be crazy to go in one.

I demand the right to do whatever I want to do, regardless.... Next.

Huawei asks court to throw out US telecom funds banSHENZHEN, China (AP) — Chinese tech giant Huawei is asking a U.S. federal court to throw out a rule that bars rural phone carriers from using government money to purchase its equipment on security... CCP getting bold. We definitely should not allow China to dictate how our security infrastructure works...
