(CNSNews.com) â The Department of Educationâs Office of the General Council and the Justice Departmentâs Civil Rights Division filed a brief Wednesday evening in support of Gavin Grimm, a biological female who âidentifiesâ as a male. Grimm filed a lawsuit in June against the Gloucester County School Board in Virginia for access to the boysâ restroom.
âProhibiting a transgender male student from using boysâ restrooms, when other non-transgender male students face no such restriction, deprives him not only of equal educational opportunity but also âof equal status, respect, and dignity,ââ the DOE and DOJ attorneys argue in the brief.
âTreating a student adversely because the sex assigned to him at birth does not match his gender identity is literally discrimination âon the basis of sex,ââ the administration lawyers argue. "Treating a student differently from other students because his birth-assigned sex diverges from his gender identity constitutes differential treatment âon the basis of sexâ under Title IX."
The brief also claims that âdenying a transgender boy access to the boysâ restroom is often much more than a mere inconvenience or limitation on his ability to use the restroom â it can be an effective denial of a restroom altogether.â
It says the under the schoolâs current policy, âG.G. may only use either the girlsâ restroom or a separate âunisexâ restroomâ but the unisex option âsingles him out in a way that is humiliating and stigmatizing.â
The option that Grimm use the girlsâ restroom âis unrealistic,â the brief says, since âa student like G.G., who identifies and presents as a boy and whom the school treats as a boy in every other respect,â canât âwalk into a girlsâ restroom without creating a situation that is disruptive.â
Grimm alleged in the June lawsuit that the districtâs policy violates the ban on sex discrimination in education under Title IX of the Education Act of 1972.
However the judge in the case, U.S. District Judge Robert G. Doumar, has denied a preliminary injunction asking that Grimm be allowed to use the boysâ restroom while the case was decided. That decision is on appeal before the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Doumar wrote in his opinion last month that Grimm had failed "to show that his presence in the male restroom would not infringe upon the privacy of other students."
You’re gonna need a bigger cage.
...â€Ã¢â‚¬Å“!...
And so, as you can see, CNS News, or at least this reporter, is perfectly fine with using Ms. Grimm’s preferred gender.
Nanny State PING!
She really, really wants to use a urinal?
I would bet “it” gets raped eventually. It is inevitable.

Just tear their arms off. you can fit more in. Resourcefulness is the heart of conservatism ;)
She is a girl, i.e. FEMALE!
She ain’t got the stones to pee up a rope. Squat yer thang in the boys room and your homies will help you shake it.
How much further can we descend into ultimate state control? You have the answer. Give us our freedom and liberty back!!!!
The clowns at Barry’s DOJ have decided to let the criminals and the lunatics run the asylum.
“I swear this is true. And if you don’t

the headphone set I heard it on!!!”
As in the days of Lot.
