WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The Obama administration's May 13 directive on transgender access to bathrooms "that treats 'a student's gender identity as the student's sex' is deeply disturbing," said the chairmen of two U.S. Catholic bishops' committees.
"The guidance fails to address a number of important concerns and contradicts a basic understanding of human formation so well expressed by Pope Francis: that 'the young need to be helped to accept their own body as it was created,'" the two bishops said in a statement May 16.
The statement was issued by Bishop Richard J. Malone of Buffalo, New York, who is chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth, and Archbishop George J. Lucas of Omaha, Nebraska, who chairman of the USCCB's Committee on Catholic Education.
The directive, or guidance, was issued by the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education. The departments said it applies to all public schools and colleges and universities that received federal funding. It "summarizes a school's Title IX obligations regarding transgender students," they said, and also explains how the Education and Justice departments will "evaluate a school's compliance with these obligations."

I think that's the idea.
More like deeply destructive.
I completely agree.
This reminds me of the similar situation where men are accused by women of inappropriate behavior (years) after now supposed sexual attacks, are mysteriously suppressed in their minds, then now “retrieved” by psychologists. Who are supposedly experts.
Those are mostly bogus, absolute nonsense, and this seems very similar. Obama has made this a big issue, and it will backfire on him, and on dems, very significantly.
Just my opinion. But they are on the wrong side.
Big time.
“summarizes a school’s Title IX obligations regarding transgender students,” they said...”
Title IX obligations?! Transgender students?!
Are you kidding?
Unreal...
Psychology is a solution in search of a problem.
What is really DEEPLY disturbing is the fact that Obama has been allowed to be deeply disturbing for almost eight years....THAT is what is truly disturbing.
Is that right?
From the Internet: Psychology is the study of behavior and mind, embracing all aspects of conscious and unconscious experience as well as thought. It is an academic discipline and an applied science which seeks to understand individuals and groups by establishing general principles and researching specific cases.
It is snake oil with a fancier name.
Son of the Devil, he is.
YUP.
“Gender identity” is a BAD term for this delusion. Try the psychological term “gender dysphoria”.
(Unfortunately, all the Internet articles about “gender dysphoria” that I could find accept the “transgender” view of this delusion. PHOOEY!!!!)
Between the HORRID “bathroom bills and executive orders” coming from the Dims and liberals, combined with their preference for muslim and Third World migration, plus the disastrous obama/clinton/Kerry foreign policy, it is high time to sweep them ALL from power!!!!
Vote Trump!!!!
This statement by the bishops is much worse than anything “Obama” has done here.
“Fails to address a number of important concerns”?
How about “exchanged the truth for a lie”?
Obama’s sudden, overt concern for deviant lifestyles tells me I’ve been right all along. Michelle’s/Michael’s secret is about to be exposed, so he’s trying to make it seem “normal”.
“The guidance fails to address a number of important concerns and contradicts a basic understanding of human formation so well expressed by Pope Francis: that ‘the young need to be helped to accept their own body as it was created,’” the two bishops said in a statement May 16.”
This is such a profound statement. It is so simple and easy to understand and restores some of my faith in today’s Catholic Church.
And, yes prayer should be part of our every day life. At times, I feel like God has left our homes and our hearts.
Marxist Mohammedans are deeply disturbing. Wake up collective.
I read an article recently where a teen girl described herself as “gender fluid”. That’s a new one. Wonder how she decides which bathroom to use at school?
Maybe the system should be penis or no penis washrooms.
God created man and woman. Thus we should follow the pattern set forth by God.
Check Genesis.
