An American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawyer representing a biologically male transgender student in Illinois says that his client should be allowed to shower in the girls’ locker room because "as a matter of science," he is “a girl through and throughâ€.
Although the Palatine-Schaumberg Township High School District 211 allows transgender students to use locker rooms of the gender they identify with, it requires them to use private shower stalls or changing areas so as not to appear naked in the company of the opposite sex.
The student filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR), which ordered the school district to provide the transgender teen with full access to the girls' locker room or risk the loss of federal Title IX funding, which bans sex discrimination.
In a statement, the district said that it will “continue to provide private accommodations for transgender students to ensure a respectful school environment, and will not allow unrestricted access to its locker rooms as directed by OCR. The goal of the District in this matter is to protect the privacy rights of all students when changing clothes or showering before or after physical education and after-school activities.â€
The school district’s superintendent, Dr. Daniel Cates, told Fox News host Megyn Kelly Tuesday night that he had received complaints from parents and female students who were concerned that their privacy was being violated by having biological members of the opposite sex in the locker room while they were changing.
But in a recent blog post, John Knight, LGBT director for the ACLU of Illinois, argues that Cates’ claim that his client is biologically male is offensive and scientifically inaccurate.
“Most damaging,†he writes, “the superintendent asserts that a girl who is transgender has a ‘male body’ and that transgender students are ‘of the opposite sex’ when defending the District’s position.
“Such assertions are wrong as a matter of science and offensive because they serve to challenge and undermine the very core of a person’s identity. A transgender girl is female. She is a girl through and through – not something in between as the District suggests.
“And although unnecessary to make a transgender person ‘really female’ or ‘really male,’ many transgender young people, including my client, have undergone medical interventions to conform their body to their gender.â€
a girl through and through .... except for his penis, of course.
The Democrat Party - the home of bathroom politics.
These people are truly to stupid evil for words
And we’re the anti-science ones...
We need to stop entertaining these ridiculous statements and just start smacking idiots who say things like this.
Really! What about his Y chromosome and his prostate gland?
And all those little "Y" chromosomes in every single cell.
And Y chromosome.
This person makes the most unsophisticated young-earther look like a scientific genius.
Is there anything dumber?
The republicans should really latch onto this. Houston, a relatively moderate city in Texas, rejected this crap in a landslide.
In a national way, we need to tie the democrats to what they are advocating.
Even makes a flat-earther look like a genius
That is the science of it.
How long until society wakes up and says, “No more!!”?
And that pesky Y chromosome.
Thank you.
The genetic test is the final arbiter, not some political posturing.
We have too many important existential problems.
Anything that affects a portion of the population that is six sigmas, has to be lower priority.
Evidently to the left "science" now means whatever view of the world comports with their desires social outcomes, rather than anything involving hypothesis formation, testing by observation (and whenever feasible controlled experimentation), revision of hypotheses.
And the only reason it is erect while showering with the girls is the fact that she is a lesbian to boot.
Behold the democrat party.. the party of DELUSION.
When the feminists came out against this crap, it seemed they might acknowledge reality. But then the advocates have apparently doubled down in the administration and in the ACLU.
A dog is a cat, up is down, a plane is a train, a penis is a vagina...
Who gives a damn about reality?
This is about a bold push to brain wash.
