District Has 30 Days to Change Transgender Student Locker Room Policy or Lose Federal Funds
The Daily Signal ^ | November 3, 2015 | Katrina Trinko

Uncle Sam isn't going to let schools place certain restrictions on how transgender students use a single-sex locker room.

A school district near Chicago, Palatine 211, provides numerous accommodations for transgender students. The district calls the students by requested names, honors selected gender (including allowing them to play on the sports teams of the gender they identify as belonging to), and permits them to use single-sex bathrooms, since stalls ensure privacy.

But the federal government has decided the district is still guilty of violating Title IX, the law prohibiting sex-based discrimination, over certain locker room restrictions.

In my high school, the locker rooms had individual stalls for dressing/undressing with a curtain in front. The showers were also in individual stalls with curtain in front. So, no one had to be with another naked person.

I went to jr. high and high school in the 80s. We had gang showers, just like boot camp. Showering naked in front of others of the same sex was an embarrassing rite of passage.

Following these stories though, I've read that group showers don't really take place much in high school these days.

Of course, no one ever looks over or under the stalls and all doors are properly maintained so they stay closed. And there is invisible soundproofing around each stall so there is to crackling of paper or tinkles or zippers.

This is child abuse. Parents, get your kids out of these schools yesterday.

Sure, no one ever accidentally left the shower curtain open a bit for a little peek a boo or it never fluttered open or the heat of the shower or you moving about caused it to open. The little freak needs to go back to its own XY locker room.

I was the first and only girl (yes, XX) in ag class so had to change in the storage room and they put a lock on it for me. The next year, they were building a new ag building so had to redraw the plans to accommodate girls. However, there was a boys' restroom and a girls' restroom and no one was confused as to their genders.

One or more of the girls and their families at the school needs to sue the federal government for being placed in an uncomfortable, oppressive sexual environment!

Where do these people get the idea that just because this boy “identifies” as a girl, that he somehow isnt attracted to them?

Or maybe they will just wait until the kid is “at attention” in a shower full of naked females to get it.

Just thought of this... Let him into the shower 1 time, then have the girls file a complaint of sexual assault against him. Hang a sexual predator badge on him for the rest of his life. Then have the school district sue the federal government for forcing the district into the position of having to place the girls in danger.

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. It was all girls, no boys. The boys locker room was on the other side of the gym and just boys in there. I was never in there so I don’t know if they had curtains or not.

How does the court justify covering transexuals under Title IX?

In my junior high school and high school, everyone showered in front of each other, it was no big deal.

I was surprised to hear that kids today don’t do what we did in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s...I wonder why it changed?

I was a high school senior in 1951. In those days, people were more “delicate” about personal nudity. There is no way girls and boys would be nude together and as I said, there were curtains in the girls locker room so one could be private or not, but no boys were there.

If I had children now, I would send them to private school, likely Catholic, so they could learn without having to put up with government social experiments. :o)

How do we end this before it becomes standard operating procedure..nationwide?

Just end federal funding of education altogether. Then each state or school district could resolve LGBT issues however it pleases.

I totally agree, boys and girls should never share showers...to do so, as the “Justice” department is trying to do, is obscene and immoral.

It amazes me how far we’ve sunk, when did the lunatics get put in charge of the asylum?

Can you believe it? One boy says he is a girl and the government says he must be able to get naked in the girls locker room with all the girls within 30 days or the school loses all their federal funding.

When the government controls the money you get, you are a prisoner because you must do as they say or die. The school dies if they lose the government money.

Obama is an abomination and his vitriol has almost destroyed us. One man out of over 300 million citizens did this.

Never occurred to me. The school just closes the locker rooms. Should make that idiot tranny boy very popular.

Did you go to a private school, because I’ve never seen a high school locker room with private showers and dressing rooms.

If ONE candidate decides to jump on this and show how ridiculous it is they would be the next president.

No, he doesn’t feel uncomfortable undressing around boys. He wants to be a girl, and to undress with them. Complete looney-tune. He has access to a dressing room and shower in the locker room, but he doesn’t want to be treated as a boy.

Wow. I've never been in a gym locker room that WASN'T open bay in the locker area and the showers.

Schools, college gyms and dorms, frat houses, military.

All open bay. I didn't even know individual dressing stalls existed.

“Did you go to a private school, because I have never seen a high school locker room with private showers and dressing rooms.”

I went to public school, however that school district was in the middle of the east Texas oil field boom and it was the wealthiest school per student in Texas. Our school buses looked like Continental Trailway buses. Had the largest school library in Texas and it stayed open all summer. Our teachers were paid more than any teachers in Texas so we had the very best. I had an excellent education. And, in the girls’ locker room, we had separate shower stalls and separate dressing stalls.
