Said the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, finding that the Gloucester County School Board's policy violates Title IX.
[Gavin] Grimm was born female but identifies as male. He was allowed to use the boys' restrooms at the school for several weeks in 2014. But after some parents complained, the school board adopted a policy requiring students to use either the restroom that corresponds with their biological gender or a private, single-stall restroom.

Cue right wing freak out.
Prepare for President Hillary.
But yet somehow, female only gyms are still ok.....
More likely prepare for a Republican President and Congress who will limit Title 9 to its original purpose and nothing else and scale back the worthless Dept. Of Education.
I was at a relative's house last weekend and a reality show was on in the background about life in jail. There was a men's and a women's totally separate.
What about that? If restrooms must be gender neutral, what about other facilities like jails? Is there are a reason why these changes won't apply there?
Can we retroactively draft 18-year old girls to fight in Vietnam? That'd be a hoot.
Where's the gender equity police when you really need them?
Just another happy day in Clown World.
(You're not smiling, comrade. Why aren't you smiling?)
You will be made to smile as the fat old man eyeing you in the restroom relieves himself young lady.
Smile or be arrested.
Couldn't we just have little stalls, with a toilet and a shower, for each person? Then the sex thing could be a non-issue.
Once you start accepting scientific and religious/moral instruction from gods or emanations...
You have to peer deep into the twilight zone in order to conflate human binary sexes, and further fail to recognize their equal and complementary natures and requirements.

Yes, if there are peep holes.
""We agree that it has indeed been commonplace and widely accepted to separate public restrooms, locker rooms, and shower facilities on the basis of sex.""
No fucking shit it is commonplace and widely accepted. These people have no idea how far down the road we are. There are so many people in the leviathan that have no worldly clue how we see this kind of crap out here.
No matter how black your robes are or how smart you think you are you cannot come up with a reason why there is going to be a 'person' with a dick in the same restroom as my soon to be 3 year old daughter unless it is me with her in the men's bathroom. Soon she will be too old for that and she will be going in the woman's bathroom while I wait outside. It will be clobberin' time first if you let men hang out in that bathroom.
If they are lucky the people on this court will get to watch the Trump presidency and this garbage will start getting rolled back peacefully. Otherwise it will get rolled back the other way.
My wife is annoyed that I told her should they pass that bullshit here, I'll go to women's restrooms constantly and be a total ass about it.
I'm not oblighted to play along with mass delusions.
So much for the right to privacy.
Achilles, I don't agree with you on Trump, but you are spot on with this. There will be violence over this, and sexual predation, along with false accusations of it flying around like confetti. It's just about the most irresponsible thing a society could do, and it will victimize the most vulnerable from little girls to grown men. Gasoline on a fire where no flame even existed before.
Imagine a young girl at the movies goes into the restroom, and two men follow her in. Nobody else is there, and yet everybody is following the law behind a closed door. Sleep well parents, you have created an open tolerant society... on paper.
We are the makers of our own truth and reality. Except, of course, if we obstinately persist in genuine truth and reality.
Absurdity is piled upon absurdity and the nation does not even blink.
Get back Loretta! Back to where you once belonged!
"Couldn't we just have little stalls, with a toilet and a shower, for each person? Then the sex thing could be a non-issue."
No, that is a micro aggression or something to the trannies. You are showing Cis-gender bias comrade.
There will be a new market opening up in personal portable disposable toilets that you carry around. It will be glorious and disgusting. Place your bets.
What's the big deal? What are you afraid of? A "girl" with a dick will have to pee in a stall and a "dude" with a gash will have to pee in a stall. Problem solved, move on. That's what real men do, solve problems and ignore bullshit without complaint or concern. I can't get over how female you macho-men conservative teabaggers are. Afeard of teen queers and dykes and trannies, how pathetic.
Meh, nature and society will sort it out soon enough. Even the mentally ill don't enjoy being a walking freak show. In five years the tranny tide will have receded, littering the beach with XS faux-pearl-buttoned Western shirts and size 13EEE pumps.
So if this is a law, is there some sort of objective way to tell a real transgender person from a lookylou?
I thought this Federalist article was great. http://thefederalist.com/2016/04/19/what-makes-you-a-woman-lgbt-editor-says-long-hair-and-accessories/
Is the decision available yet?
So, Howard, no daughters I take it?
It isn't the macho men that are afraid. Hell, they're amused.

That might keep your little daughter from the risk of men in the women's room, but how does that protect her from getting a failing grade or being expelled from school or fired from her job when she keeps calling Bruce "he" rather than "she," persisting in the truth that he is really a boy and not a girl named Caitlyn?
I think restrooms should be designated 'Male', 'Female' and 'Other'.
Howard, I prefer to enter a women's locker room with my two young girls with the knowledge that the only anatomy they will be seeing (and trust me, we do see) will match their own. If that makes me a prude, so be it. But I will note that if my daughters saw a penis at a park, the man would be arrested. Why is it suddenly ok in a locker room?

Haha, good one Howard. Have never seen concern for any other than young girls or women.
Every stadium event I have attended lately has had women use the men's room, and nary a tear was shed in distress. They come in pairs and groups or with boyfriends/husbands because their lines are too long.

Better yet: "Penis", "Vagina", "Other", or "I'm to dumb to figure it out"
Any speculation on what's next?
I can't even imagine what new crazy sh*t the left will want to jam down our throats after this is done. It's like they can never relax and just exist - it's a constant struggle to enforce their latest whims on the unwilling masses. It's a sickness.
I noticed something.
Most places don't have laws about the "Gentleman's room" vs. "Ladie's Room" users.
Because society developed a very strong social incentive that worked.
There must have been a reason for that choice.
Some sort of society-wide decision that large public facilities of this type should be separated.
There's a sense that even though most men and women could behave themselves, there is always that one stranger in one hundred who could use a mixed-sex lavatory for voyeurism. Or sexual harassment. Or assault.
And to make it easy to stop that--and to install a strong cultural barrier against it--we set up rules of social opprobrium and shame to convince people to use one room, and not the other.
(I also notice that public restrooms are from the age of urbanization and indoor plumbing. Yet the people who made those decisions also made decisions about bathing, privacy, and social boundaries in small families, towns, and cities, during the era just before indoor plumbing.)
How much do people want to weaken that strong social rule about propriety, privacy, and avoiding even the remotest possibility of strong people preying on weak people?
I understand the desire for change. American culture has been full of change. And we spent the last tree-quarters of a century changing the social rules relating to sexual intimacy.
But change by itself is not always good.
And what happens when the culture tears apart old social rules, and discovers a generation later than the results are worse than the original problem?
Birc hes: Sounds like you enjoy the anatomy lesson in the little girls locker room. Sick. I let the little woman or another Mom handle that duty.
I wonder how many of you sissies are christians. The fall of man directly resulted in sex shame, like that in which you wallow in just now. Way to adopt middle-eastern cult taboo's, just like ISIL

You think you are funny comparing us to ISIL. I was in Iraq and got to meet ISIL before they were ISIL.
I don't think you are funny. You are not going to think I am funny.

There is nothing to figure out, you are a perv and trannies are a threat to your "access" because you cannot help but staring like a dog on a bone.
I guess if some pedophile goes into a girls locker room because he claims to identify as female, then rapes some underage girl (they're less able to fight back), that young woman is just "acceptable collateral damage" to the Progs.
That about summarize it for you, Titus? ARM? Cookie?
Achilles: Don't you pine for the day when combat vets didn't feel the need to brag about their macho exploits. Whatever happened to "fade away"? I am truly sorry you sit at home shitting in a bag and making love to your lubed hand. Perhaps when Bernie gets elected, the services will get better.
Gavin Grimm can identify as he wants, I don't even care if he identifies as a lamp post, but his dick says otherwise.
Boys restroom for him.
Wait.
Did Howard just defend the legality of men using the women's locker room by calling Birches a pervert because he thought Birches was a man using the women's locker room?
" deference due to the [U.S. Department of Education's] interpretation of its own regulations.""
These seems like terrible legal reasoning to me. The people interpreting aren't the people who wrote Title IX. They are activists using an existing regulation to create new rules and to branch into areas not even imagined by the writers of Title IX.
By this reasoning, anything a governmental department wanted to use an existing regulation for, it could.
It is because of progressive confusion that transgender/homosexuals want to be considered separately from transgender/crossovers and progressive moralists generally.
Birches: apologies, I thought you were a man.
It seems that way maybee.
I can't see how else it makes sense.
Howard: "There is nothing to figure out, you are a perv and trannies are a threat to your "access" because you cannot help but staring like a dog on a bone"
Shorter Howard: refusal to leave your young daughters unattended in a rest room with a biological male is a sign of backwardness.
If Howard is not bothered by the idea of your young daughter left alone in a restroom with adult males, why are you?

@Howard, now apologize to Achilles.
Howard must be a tranny himself. It's the only explanation for his bizarre reaction.
The Cracker Emcee: "Howard must be a tranny himself. It's the only explanation for his bizarre reaction"
Now now. If one were to assume some aberrant characteristic was behind every borderline-sane outburst by Howard, we would soon run out of characteristics with which to describe him.
My recommendation: Aberrant characteristic rationing. Regardless of how many times and in how many ways Howard goes off and loses it, let us refrain from attaching any labels to the outburst and just roll them all up in a consolidated report at the end of the fiscal year.
I will participate in the defense of young women against perceived felonies, whether in bathrooms or not.
I have that right, as an American, to prevent reasonably perceived felonies.
Bernie Goetz, writ large...
And old women...
And boys...
And men...
No, this can't be correct--I was assured nothing like this could ever happen--all those "slippery slope" arguments were ridiculous, remember?
If this monumental insensitivity to the rights of the majority by these judges ultimately means that a "rule" enacted by a bunch of bureaucrats in the DOE supersedes North Carolina state law, enacted by its elected representatives,we are well and truly fucked.
""We agree that it has indeed been commonplace and widely accepted to separate public restrooms, locker rooms, and shower facilities on the basis of sex.""
"It is not apparent to us, however, that the truth of these propositions undermines the conclusion we reach regarding the level of deference due to the [U.S. Department of Education's] interpretation of its own regulations."
Back in the 50's segregationists predicted that the abolition of "separate but equal" would lead to this. All right-thinking people laughed at them.
Hahahahaha.
I'm glad I don't have a daughter. My sister is an SJW, so she can live with her mistakes - looking at another woman's penis won't kill her. Heh heh.
Women, now notice, you're below mentally ill people in the oppression Olympics.

By this reasoning, anything a governmental department wanted to use an existing regulation for, it could.
Which means we must end Title IX. And a Republican President must decide to not enforce ANY law that puts ANY law-making ability in the hands of bureaucrats.
Men, we have to make an example of this. Men should go to women's restrooms and stare at adult women. Every single day. Show the massive problems this idiotic policy leads to. But I have doubts it will change anything since Progressives worry more about people afflicted with body dysmorphia than women.
I wonder how long until we're chided for trying to fix the issues of anorexics. Since they have the identical problem trannies have.
I want to echo the comment of MayBee above.
No matter how you feel about the merits, this is not a fight that was "picked" by social conservatives.
This is a fight that was conclusively started by the Obama Administration's Department of Education Office of Civil Rights social activists. Using Title IX to literally threaten individual schools and school districts with federal punishment if they don't conform to Obama social mores. Just like the supposed campus rape crisis.
I can't believe our civilization has come to this. But if we have to do something, let's just make the men's room an "anybody" room (it kind of already is), and continue to restrict the women's room to actual biological women or post-operative transsexuals. That way nobody will feel stigmatized for using the men's room, and women can have some damn privacy which was the whole point of segregated restrooms in the first place.
Danny, it's almost cute that you think ANYTHING will satisfy the pink gestapo. They want fundraising money and this does it. They LOVE the idea of culture wars now.
"regarding the level of deference due to the [U.S. Department of Education's] interpretation of its own regulations"
Wait. Why is deference due to a regulatory agency in "interpretation of its own regulations"?
The regulations define the scope of the agency, not the other way around. Otherwise you can simply write wishes on your magic piece of paper to give yourself whatever authority you want. In the IT industry this would be called a privilege escalation attack.
If an agency feels it needs more latitude then the agency is in the perfect position to lobby for legislation that gives them that latitude. Otherwise no dice.
Time to rewrite Title IX. Long past time. It has been twisted out of its original horrid purposes to direct the outcomes of issues never contemplated as applicable under its aegis, before the Obama Administration.
Or, perhaps, do away with the Obama Administration, which seems to be the common denominator in so very many misuses of law and governance and politics in the country for the past several years.
Bring on Hillary, let the strongest survive and the rest fall by the wayside as the expendable vermin she thinks they are!
Yes, Danny. It's not like in women's bathrooms there are stalls giving privacy to each toilet or anything.
If this is such a small percentage of the population, why is everyone so bent out of shape about it? The reaction is not merited for the fact that most people will never encounter this (or be aware).
