[VA] Judge denies transgender student’s request to use boys’ bathroom
Washington Post ^ | 9/4/15 | Julie Zauzmer

A federal judge has denied a transgender teenager’s request to allow him to use the same bathroom as his peers at his public school in Virginia.

Instead, the judge ruled Friday, the teenager must continue using a separate, private bathroom that he has said makes him feel “singled out and humiliated.”

Gavin Grimm, a teenage boy who was born female, used the boys’ bathroom for seven weeks with no problem, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, which brought a lawsuit against the Gloucester County School Board on his behalf.

But then parents heard about the teen using the boys’ restroom and complained. The school board passed a rule, 6 to 1, that restricts the bathrooms to students of the “corresponding biological genders.”

Does she stand up to pee?

Did she flunk basic biology?

Makes him/her feel singled out and humiliated? I think he/she did that to himself/herself. Good for this judge.

Haha!

I wonder if the Washington Post really understands how STUPID that statement is...

We all start off female. Sometimes the development doesn't work right. I truly feel sorry for these defective humans.

Good, we need to bring back shaming those who wish to be perverts....among other perverters of society and it's norms

Perhaps they could use some psychological help instead of enabling them?

Not possible. What she is , is a mentally ill young lady in need of help.

You’d think having your own private bathroom at school would be pretty cool.

Isn’t a unisex bathroom the one he and his peers should use?

I propose relabeling bathrooms “PENIS” and “VAGINA”.

as his peers

Along that line of thought, we are all pee-ers. Some of us stand and some sit down. Why doesn't it use the one that does not have urinals? They are of absolutely no use to it.

George Costanza in no way felt ‘discriminated against’ when he obtained the key to his very own workplace bathroom.

We have an 12 year old “girl” at the local public pool that I suspect is really a boy. It usually goes into the single bathroom or into a toilet stall to change, according to people in the women’s room. No way to prove anything yet.

If you go the Czech Republic, you have to learn several possible new letters to distinguish which is the men’s and which is the ladies’ room.

And when you walk in, you may see a woman seated there as you enter. She doles out the sheets of toilet paper you purchase before you enter the facilities. She sits in the men’s room. And tip her well because she doesn’t like being there. Or simply bring your own roll with you.
