A 2023 Idaho bathroom bill is now permanently in effect statewide following the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the anti-trans legislation.

Attorneys for the Sexuality and Gender Alliance, a student group at Boise High School, and the state agreed to dismiss the lawsuit in federal court on Wednesday following the death of one plaintiff and the high-school graduation of another, per Idaho Education News.

The late plaintiff, as Idaho Education News noted, was a trans student who died by suicide in January, identified only in court filings as Jane Doe. Lawsuits against the bathroom ban were currently pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the U.S. District Court of Idaho.

Now in effect as of May 2025, the law bans students from using bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender assigned at birth and also permits students to sue schools if they encounter a trans person in a public restroom or changing facility for a minimum fine of $5,000, per Boise State Public Radio.

and that occurs at conception

“Transgender” is not a real thing. The pretense that some series of hormone treatments or bodily mutilations can magically make a biological male into a female, or a biological female into a male, is a fantasy. So far NO treatment protocol has succeeded in changing the chromosome count of even ONE body cell from XX to XY, or from XY to XX.

And there are TRILLIONS of body cells in even one human specimen.

The best that can be done is to convert a biological male into a castrated neuter, or a biological female into a spayed neuter. The change is irreversible, and can never proceed further, leaving the individual sterile and unable to reproduce.

Anything else is simply some form of transvestite cosplay, where the individual assumes the dress and mannerisms of the opposite gender.

BINARY - love it, hate it, or ignore it, that basic fact of humanity will not change.

Someone or someones are responsible for this crap and it’s not the students. Someone is trying to destroy the fabric of this nation.

And the teachers unions are their willing agents by promoting and encouraging the deviant lunacy while trying to keep their agenda secret from student's parents.

You know it's all a load of B.S. just by recalling how many oppressed "trans" people you saw during your childhood, how many kids you saw in front of men's and woman's restrooms in obvious befuddlement and how many choices there were outside of "boy" and "girl" when shopping for birthday cards.

None. Zero. Zip. Nada.

If "gender fluidity" didn't exist before you did it isn't real now. These attempts to make normal people accept the 'dysphoric' are just tactics to legitimize immorality, excuse deviancy and give attention whores their fix.

So simple even tiny kids get it. Just not certain Supreme Court picks.

“At conception”

Exactly. And anyone who says otherwise is either a liar or an imbecile.

[fwdude]

Obviously, that statement is a misprint. Not surprising coming from a leftist rag.

Typos........I do it myself from time to time....🙄🤔

("anti-trans legislation.")

NO SUCH THING AS A HUMAN "TRANSGENDER" EXISTS
ANYWHERE ON THE FACE OF THE ENTIRE EARTH 🌍🌏🌎

AND the Democrats STILL don't know which
bathroom they're supposed to be using 🙄🙄🙄

Because their minds are turned over to
Godless Reprobate LGBTQ+ (Romans 1:24-28)



Democrats CAN'T define "a woman"... nor
figure out which bathroom 🚻🚽🚻 ⁉️⁉️⁉️
they're supposed to use 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷 😕😕🙄

WHY does anyone vote for these people?

TRUTH!!

God made them MALE and FEMALE
FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD 🌍🌎🌏

Matthew 19:4

that He Who created them
from the Beginning made them
MALE and FEMALE,

Genesis 1:27

27 So God created man in His Own image,

in the image of God He created him;
MALE and FEMALE He created them

They reject Almighty God

They CUT OFF the body parts
that Almighty God GAVE THEM

They wind up with mental health issues

WOW! How DID that happen? 🤯🤯🤯

Actually sex has been assigned shortly after birth. Approximately 1% of babies are born with external sex organs that make it difficult to know their sex. Around 1900 Dr. Hugh Young of Johns Hopkins Hospital had a clinic for those babies. He did internal and external exams and made the decision that determined the way in which the baby would be raised. He assigned a sex with the ‘best’ information they had then.

Isn’t there DNA testing available now to find out immediately what will happen when such babies reach puberty?

[ladyjane]

There’s a lot better testing now to help in the decision making when the baby is born.
