A federal judge ruled Monday that a school district in Ohio must treat a transgender boy “like the girl she is” and allow him unfettered access to a girl’s bathroom, according to local reports.
Judge Algenon Marbley, a Bill Clinton appointee, also said that Highland Local School District must treat the boy as a girl in all other aspects, using his chosen female name and referring to him with female pronouns at all times, reports The Blade, in Toledo, O.H.
Highland sued the federal government in June after the Obama administration ordered it to allow the boy, identified only as “Jane Doe” in court documents, to use a girls’ bathroom, or else risk the loss of more than $1 million in federal funding. The order stems from a May decree by the Departments of Education and Justice holding that the federal Title IX law requires all public schools to let students use a bathroom that matches their chosen gender identity.
Title IX only prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, but the Obama administration maintains that gender identity falls under the umbrella of sex. In its lawsuit, Highland argued the administration was simply illegally rewriting federal law.
Doe, meanwhile, has been pursuing a civil rights complaint against Highland since late 2013. Besides ordering Highland to let Doe use whatever bathroom he wants, the federal government also told the school district that it needs to hire a gender-identity consultant who can train staff members to be properly sensitive on issues of gender identity.
The two cases collided in the ruling Monday. There is “certainly no evidence” that girls at Highland’s schools will have their well-being harmed by sharing facilities with a biological male, Marbley said. All showers at Doe’s school are curtained off, and toilets all have their own stalls, minimizing the risk that girls would encounter a penis in the bathroom, he added.
It has a habit of doing that.
Unless this was a diversity case, the federal judge has no constitutional grounds to hear this case in the first place.
In the second place there is no constitutional grounds for this ruling.
These are grounds for possible impeachment of a judge who has sworn an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.
Total oxymoronish madness. Where do these sick “judges” come from?

Oh, well, okay then. We can just have one great big shower and locker room shared by all the boys and girls. And one bathroom. There are curtains and stalls and everything so what’s the big deal, right? Nobody will see anything they don’t want to see. Make everyone poop and shower together. Get with the times, people! Gender is just a ‘social construct.’
So if I feel like I am a judge, should I be treated as one?
Liberals have placed a lot of sick and twisted people on the bench.
Our country is really going to be in a mess in 20 years, with al these judges legally ruling that mentally ill people trump normal people. I fear for the next generations having to contend with the Leftist Paradise that the USA is becoming. Pray for Trump/Pence2016.
I agree this is a state matter tell the judge thanks for your view we will continue on like we see fit
There is no transgender. Chopping your organs doesn’t turn you into the other sex.
Which is EXACTLY what the state should do when the feds have acted unconstitutionally.
The judge is demonstrably psychotic and should be removed or impeached. But never trust in Congress to do anything right.
Reason # 1 to elect Donald Trump as president despite any misgivings you may have about him — Hillary will continue to stack the federal courts with judges who force schools to treat boys like girls.
Lose the million and tell them to pound sand.
Unless, of course, you slavery can be bought so cheaply.
“Chopping your organs doesn’t turn you into the other sex”
This Mary still has his package. How can this actually be a thing now, that mental illness must be accepted as normal? I guess when those making the rules are mentally ill this seems like the right thing to do.
Being a cross-dressing transvestite does not change your sex. That boy is has Y chromosomes.
Lose the million and tell them to pound sand.
Unless, of course, your slavery can be bought so cheaply.
[crap]
These judges need to be tarred and feathered.
And this kid does not need a bathroom.
He, she, it needs a padded room in a mental institution.
Shut down the schools rather than submit to this lunacy.
Rip out all of the bathrooms and put one-hole porta-pottys around the perimeter of the school.
Well, he isn’t a girl, so the judge’s order is invalid and can be ignored.
