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."

Another feral judge legislates from the bench. Truth suffers another blow.
What a stupid, Leftist judge (and I use the term judge loosely. This “judge” is nothing but a leftist activist in a black robe.
Funny thing is, the shirt was protected speech when she took office.
No, she's not. She is doing exactly the job she was hired to do.
I gotta give the Left credit. They're very good at picking judges. Conservatives get them right about half the time. Liberals get their judges right all the time.
Prove there are more than two genders. I’ll wait.
Science. Biology. Truth. Facts.
Bad judge. No soi boi for you tonight.
Diversity hire
Judge is Deep State.
Note to kids: It’s two SEXES, young’uns.
Use that next time. It’ll be harder to gin up an excuse to violate your constitutional rights that way.
This judge is full of shit and I’m ticked.
A serious mental disorder.
Oh good God.
Two sexes. That’s biology.
Gender, like race, is subjective. And the numbers can be anything to anyone.
“judge is nuts”
Masshole.
That ruling must be appealed. The entire concept of free speech is at stake. If the judge ruled that any such clothing in a school setting whatever the message maybe banned is one thing. The concept that it can be banned only because it might be offensive to some, is just plain wrong. This judge does not belong on the Federal bench.
I believe that when one is speaking about a language, then the term is “neuter”.
So one says: the French language has no neuter form.
So when where the new protected class rules approved?
Filthy Obama appointee.
“There are 4 lights.”
I feel you ... I think I see em too..
We are living in an Idiotcracy
Violations of "free speech" must be tried in a court of facts, not ruled by edict from the bench.

Free speech always invades the rights (?) of others. Suck it up and put on your big girl panties.
