Trump Rescinds Obama Edict on Bathrooms [semi-satire]

President Trump's Executive Order rescinding President Obama's Executive Order commanding federally funded institutions to permit individuals to use the bathrooms of the sex they imagine themselves to be sparked outrage from the gender-confused and their advocates.

Illinois Democratic gubernatorial aspirant J.B. Pritzker used Trump's action to solidify his credentials to the deranged base of the Party by advocating that "everyone should use the other gender's bathroom as a protest against Trump's tyranny."

Pritzker's ploy was criticized by Illinois State Rep. Will Guzzardi (D-Chicago) as "missing the point of the Obama edict. Knowingly using the bathroom of the 'other gender' contradicts the intent of the directive. Urging a man who believes he is a woman to use the bathroom of the 'other gender' would guide him to the men's room. This exacerbates the biological injustice already inflicted on that person."

Olympic champion transgender Caitlyn Jenner called Trump's move "devastating. The option of entering restrooms or locker rooms of the gender to which a person may contemplate switching is an important way of gathering data that could help determine whether to make the switch or not. Finding out whether you would be comfortable within previously off-limits environments seems to me to be a necessary step in identifying one's own sexual orientation."

CNN talking head Chris Cuomo characterized Trump's approach as "a return to bigotry. The right would like to emphasize a 'worst case' scenario where perverts feign transgenderism in order to gawk at or molest young girls. These girls and their over-protective fathers need to get over their prejudices against showering with people they think are men just because they have a man's anatomy. Those trapped in the wrong body are the most oppressed members of society. The government needs to do everything it can to lift them out of their misery. By negating President Obama's grant of protective status for them Trump is on the wrong side of history."

Presidential Press Secretary Sean Spicer ridiculed the hyperventilation over the issue saying that "all the President did was rescind his predecessor's illegal imposition of a rule for which there is no legal authority. The US Constitution does not grant the federal government the power to decree who may use which bathroom. The 9th and 10th Amendments clearly reserve this power to the people and the states. We are merely removing a turd left behind by a usurpation that ought never to have occurred."

Worth special scrutiny by defense attorneys.

Good news indeed. I am now gathering data to determine whether to make the switch to a 12-yr-old girl. That's my story, your honor, and I'm sticking to it.

Sadly, it’s getting difficult to tell the difference between satire and actual Democrat positions on the issues.
