I've avoided public restrooms since this ruling. (bonus: it's saved me money on beverages when I'm away from home).

Since I often work ten hour days, I do not have the option of avoiding public restrooms. I can avoid public locker rooms if I do not go to the gym, although I do not need to do that since I have yet to see a man in the locker room.

In worrying about the rights of a handful of freaks, the ignore the rights of the vast majority of Americans.

The move is likely to start a domino effect of states getting rid of transgender bathrooms in schools now that the federal government is no longer backing this social engineering program.

Everyday I'm thankful Trump won the election... every day a new reason to give thanks...

Heard this reported on a Philly FM station this morning.

Their take was essentially “Trump has ended Obama’s order, saying he prefers to leave the matter in each state’s hands. Philadelphia schools have vowed to leave the protections in place, despite Trump’s order.”

So much wrong with the above reporting, but the intended message is clear. Trump is trying to hurt our kids, but Philly won’t let him.

In truth, doing away with this stupid mandate actually protects our kids. The station was just vague enough to bash Trump without discussing facts.

This should be a matter for the states.

Empathy is fine, when dealing with a young person suffering from transgender identity syndrome.

However, in schools they should not place ANY children in uncomfortable positions. On request, a “transgender” child should be provided a separate room for their restroom, changing and showering, such as a not-in-use room that would otherwise be used by the education staff.

Offices and shopping locales need only provide unisex single use restrooms. That is the only kind they need when they have only two single use restrooms to begin with. When they have only large multi-customer-use single-gender restrooms at the moment, the could, by their own choice - not as a legal mandate - add one or two unisex single-use restrooms for anyone seeking extra privacy.

That is as far as empathy for a young person with transgender identity syndrome should go.

Headline will have liberals clutching pearls. Why not say “Trump protects young girls from predatory mentally ill perverts”.

Another example of Trump getting the Feds out of our lives.

I call it another hand washing political move.

Seems like there is a research paper possibility there and yes, an opportunity for a grant.

I think Rush once claimed he was a female lesbian in a male body.
