Transgender Wisconsin Student Can Use Boys’ Bathroom, Federal Court Says
NBC News ^ | 5/30/2017 | Pete williams

Posted on 05/31/2017 10:59:57 AM PDT by simpson96

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.

These mentally disturbed people are all about bullying others into giving into their demands and suing them.

And boys can use the girls bathroom. Good thing they didn’t do this when I was in school.

The fact the media hacks use the wrong gender pronoun to describe the girl is a descent into madness and mental illness. Three more judges just made the festivity list when the commie pisslam global cabal starts a civil war. Can’t have a functioning Constitutional Republic with these scum in place who defy logic and law. The girl is mentally ill with gender dysphoria, “transgender” doesn’t exist, and those that support it are cowards.

The entire school children should refuse to use the bathroom and all walk out go down the block to gas station.

I’m sure the boys will figure out a way to make her change her mind.

I predict sadly, an unfortunate life ahead for her....

I feel sorry that she isn't a perfect looking female, but that does not justify trying to change her biology...and, she is only making it worse...

No court ruling, no law passed by any politician, no media pronoun usage in their articles will ever, ever make this female a real male.

One day she may make the mistake of walking into a men’s bathroom in Riyadh.

Probably, quietly, the one for the gender they were garbed as.

Two avoid situations like this:

A photo of two women in the women's restroom.

Again, two women in the women's restroom.

LOL! I saw that at a Van Halen concert in the 80s. The lines for the women’s restroom were too long at Folsom Field so drunk chicks started using the men’s restroom.

What happens when she goes into the boy’s bathroom and a bunch of real boys give this pretend Peter Pan a Swirly?

I mean, it’s what boys DO! ;)

The boy would be arrested for assault an expelled from school. They don't really do these things anymore. Doubt a high school boy today would even know what a "swirly" was.
