A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that a transgender Wisconsin high school senior who identifies as male can use the boys' bathroom.
The ruling, a victory for Ashton Whitaker, 17, of George Nelson Tremper High School in Kenosha, came the same week that he graduates. Nonetheless, he said he was thrilled with the decision.
"I hope my case will help other transgender students in Kenosha and elsewhere to just be treated the same as everyone else without facing discrimination and harassment from school administrators," he said.
A three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that the Kenosha Unified School District violated a federal law and Ashton's constitutional rights by insisting that he use either the girls' bathroom or a separate gender-neutral restroom in the school's main office.
The court dismissed as "sheer conjecture and abstraction" the school district's argument that its refusal to let him use the boys' bathroom was based on a need to protect student privacy.

It would need to go to the Constitution and still wouldn’t close the Pandora’s box of gay-marriage.
What restroom facility did these transgenders use BEFORE ?
We’ll be reading about this one getting the grab and grope at some point.
Now whether or not it is true or a hoax when it happens.. only time and facts will tell.
My sense is we’re near The End. I agree we should be holding out the Word of Life boldly regardless.
We will probably be hearing about her suicide in ten years.
However, what is to stop the Self-mutilated from using any bathroom they want? Don’t they wear clothes of the other sex? So who would even know?
A secular world that doesn’t agree it is under Christian command is hardly of itself The End — specially if it is being honest about what Christianity means.
I hail a loss of hypocrisy. God can save honest sinners faster than faux Christians.
Probably, quietly, the one for the gender they were garbed as.
Using a urinal, Ill bet she can’t tell how cold the water is, much less how deep!
Government schools = child abuse
Okay, now I’m curious. If it identifies as male, goes into the men’s bathroom, and gets sexually assaulted while in there, is that rape or sodomy? I ask because I thought sodomy between males in public bathrooms was now protected behavior.
Wait a minute. If it identifies as male (even though it has female reproductive plumbing), and has a sexual encounter with another male, does that mean the other male is now gay?
Forget curious. I’m confused.
Prepared to be disappointed, freak. The womens’ bathrooms are always much nicer than the mens’.
Well the only thing someone like that could do would be to insert a catheter with a long plastic hose with a cork in the end.
My poor Father had complications after treatment for prostate cancer years ago. For many years he had to self-catheterize himself. Then his doctor suggested a procedure from putting a catheter in under his stomach into his bladder. He invented a valve for the thing and was able to live very comfortably like that till he passed away a 93 last December. So I know how this works first hand.
Poor, confused GIRL.
so does this mean she stands up to pee now ???
I can pee standing up - Army Training, Sir!
However, I prefer to remain a squatter. :)
The world is a crazy, crazy place these days. Thank your nearest Socialist for THAT!
Sometimes you gotta go #2...
This is wrong. It should be taken to the Supreme Court.
