Federal judge rules MA student's 'there are only two genders' T-shirt ‘invades the rights of others,’ is NOT protected by free speech
The Post Millennial ^ | 06/17/2023 | Sara Higdon

On Friday, a federal judge in Massachusetts ruled a shirt that read "THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS" could be construed as bullying of a protected class and is not protected speech after a 12-year-old and his father filed suit against officials in the Middlesbrough Public School district for First and Fourteenth Amendment rights violations.

Judge Indira Talwani said in the court ruling, the boy and his father had "not established a likelihood of success on the merits where he is unable to counter Defendants’ showing that enforcement of the Dress Code was undertaken to protect the invasion of the rights of other students to a safe and secure educational environment."

"School administrators were well within their discretion to conclude that the statement 'THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS' may communicate that only two gender identities–male and female–are valid, and any others are invalid or nonexistent," the ruling continued, "and to conclude that students who identify differently, whether they do so openly or not, have a right to attend school without being confronted by messages attacking their identities."

Judge is a classic Indian pagan with weird non-western beliefs about multiple castes of humanity and who knows how many genders and how many arms on her deities.

Needs reeducation and/or one way ticket back home.

As far as legal appealing goes: Truth is a valid defense. There are only two genders. Look it up in a biology book under X and Y chromosomes.

Impeach her any all pagan judges trying to impose their weird takes on American reality. Natural law says there are two genders and two genders only. The judge can shut up and like it.

If true, then conservatives need to sue the school for allowing kids to wear them. Judges only make decisions on lawsuits. No lawsuit, no fighting back.

There are four genders (see #6); masculine, feminine, common and neuter, which apply to words in the English language. And there are normally only 2 sexes; male and female, which apply to humans.
Don’t give in to the commie-crats and use their terms. Make them use the correct definitions.

Obama judge. Between Obama and Biden, the overwhelming judiciary will be left. Trump did get 120 or so. Biden already passed that. The future is bleak on judiciary. Yes we have Supreme Court so we have a shot at 60 or so lawsuits a year.

Roads are racist; therefore, math is racist.

It certainly is when it comes to free speech.

So the kid wearing the shirt does not have the right to free speech then.

Because clearly the opinion that there are more than two genders is free speech, but the opinion that there are only two is not free speech.

Which makes sense in what universe again?

Let me guess. Liberalland where only certain approved opinions are allowed.

Think about what John Adams said about the US Constitution being “made only for a moral and religious people”. That’s the only way you can have a free society.

A moral and religious people will have very limited definitions for criminality and a high tolerance for offense, because of their overriding regard for individual freedom.

Gender, like race, is subjective.

Really? Not to me and billions of others. Neither is subjective at all. They are written in stone in our DNA. Conflating gender and sex is a huge mistake IMHO. We are either male or female. There's really no other sex or gender. For anyone who is confused, they should simply look at their birth certificate. It was obvious then. No amount of surgery, make up, pills, shots, or chest balloons can change these basic facts of life.

Now I would agree that there are highly butch females and highly effeminate males but that's as good it as it gets. For the .001% of the population with real gender dysphoria, I feel pity for them and hope they can get the mental health treatment that works for them.

“Barack Obama appointee.”

Judge Indira Talwani was confirmed by the US Senate in a 94 to 0 vote. It appears all Republican senators who showed up to vote perceived agreed she was fully qualified.
