Let me be so indelicate as to suggest that the issue is common sense simple -- where you pee ought to be determined by what you pee with. Period. This nonsense about self-identifying as a woman so a man can use the same restroom as someone else’s daughter is just that -- nonsense. Just as it is nonsense about the Almighty putting you in the wrong body. You might be confused, but God is not. Male and female He created them and I’m quite sure He knew the difference.
So it was welcome news that President Trump has revoked the Obama administration's “guidance” to educational institutions that requiring bathroom use based on birth gender and genitalia constitutes sex discrimination:
The Trump administration revoked an Obama-era mandate compelling public schools nationwide to permit restroom and locker room access on the basis of gender identity -- a move that could have significant ramifications for a case before the Supreme Court concerning transgender rights.The Departments of Education and Justice issued a joint guidance Wednesday evening rolling back the order. The two-page “Dear Colleague Letter” said the Obama administration had failed to substantiate the claim that Title IX’s prohibition on “sex” discrimination in education also applies to gender identity.
“In these circumstances, the Department of Education and the Department of Justice have decided to withdraw and rescind the above-referenced guidance documents in order to further and more completely consider the legal issues involved,” the order reads. “The Departments thus will not rely on the views expressed within them.”
The guidance also said the federal government must recognize “the primary role of the States and local school districts in establishing education policy.”

“why do we coddle these people? This should be treated as the mental ailment it is.”
It’s the consequence of letting society get so concerned about respecting people’s FEEEEEELINGS.
The Left axiomatically rejects the notion that someone’s feelings are wrong. As such, if someone’s “feeler is broken”, we still have to respect their feelings as valid - even if that means killing themselves, or mutilating their own genitals.
We on the Right must emphasize that mental illness is in fact a thing, and some malformed feelings must be treated as a diagnosable & manageable illness.
Between the obvious self-harm feelings, vs normal healthy feelings, is a gray area where we will have a tough time deciding whether someone should be left to follow their own feelings vs committing them for psychological treatment. One notable point in that gray area is: if you “feel” you should have different plumbing, that does not entitle you to use the socially-accepted safe space designated for plumbing you don’t have.
You are so right: This isn’t going away. The communist/depraved left will not stop until YOU and I get “woke” and appreciate penises on “girls”. The best we will probably be able to do is to form private schools or home school.
you didn't mention a father on the scene. I have seen the same. Know a similar female who is a "psychologist" - which in itself explains a lot. Son is a drug addict and has been arrested for petty crimes several times, daughter is bizarre, goth-type, who umm, gets around. They walk their cats around the neighborhood on a leash. I can't imagine being raised by a pseudo "mental health professional" who is also a undying believer in the modern cult of leftism.
I took 7 courses in University in Psych. One was dealt with sexual neurosis and psychosis. In Lab we studied video and audio replays of interviews and therapy. In some instances it was traceable to abnormal parental affection or lack of that affection. Some was simple schizophrenia and treated with lithium compounds but the most effective treatment was electrical shock under anesthesia or verced to erase memory of the treatment. We learned that shock was amazingly effective in actually rendering cure rates in the 50 percentile. These people do sex change as a form of self pain infliction. It should be stopped by law.
I can’t imagine being raised by a pseudo “mental health professional” who is also a undying believer in the modern cult of leftism.
“the absolutely massive, rule-making, leftist, social-engineering nanny state exists...”
...because useless, fat, so-called conservatives refuse to get off their lazy asses and confront the fascist bureaucrat state.
