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€
Yes, but that was to teach you what the low-info population believed at a time in the past. It was not meant to infer that it was a correct belief. But the "new ice age" was, and the warming crap is, being taught as fact.
Correct, it was shown as an example of what some believed in Columbus’ time.
The myth was started by Washington Irving in a semi-fictional biography of Columbus, most likely in part to simplify things, in part to make Columbus looks good, and in part to make people from the past and/or Catholics look like idiots (Irving had priests arguing against Columbus, which they did, but on the grounds that sailing to China headed west was a suicide mission as the circumference of the earth was known, and thus the distance, and Columbus couldn’t carry enough water—Columbus argued that the circumference was much smaller than it in fact is.) The final reason is what makes the myth convenient/popular in many circles.
Not after the ACLU gets done with it. There will only be XX chromosomes. XX and XX’
Just wait.
The great thing about Existential Cage Theory is that there is always more steel to be mined to build more cages. and a surplus of liberals to put in them.
A match made in heaven really.
Apparently we can agree 100% on something. And we do on this for sure.
Sure. Voting for republicans that help Barry EO crap like this into law. THAT takes a special kind of stupid.
Conservatives
Really? So scientifcally speaking, he doesn’t have a Y chromosome?
Those pesky Y chromosomes.
As a "Matter of Science", back then, we thought that biologically male was so much a question of chromosomes only that you didn't need to look at anything else, such as the mood on a particular day, to be sure. Back then, an XY was a boy through and through.
Yeah, my bloodline may be American, but I’m a Canadian through-and-through! Gimme my Canadian citizenship NOW!
DANG!
Funny Farm Nanny State PING!
Hell, this guy makes Joe Biden look like a genius!
Ive Identifeid as a male since birth....or shortly thereafter as far as I can remember...
the psychotic leading the schizophrenic to BELIEVE that they are sane.
how utterly twisted and EVIL
So what’s the model here... whatever is establishing this thing is considered to be able to violate the biological conventions in the direction of making the expression atypical... but it isn’t considered to be susceptible to any kind of influence that would guide the expression to be typical again.
Sounds a lot like the devil, or the Hotel California. You can’t leave (or so they say to you).
And folks who supposedly know the power of God today seem mainly to have one or two responses. To rail at how wicked the person is, or to excuse him/her. Maybe a third option is to band-aid the manifestation in an uneasy detente. Conquest of sin by righteousness hardly ever seems to be on the menu.
How’s this supposed to work, you decide you don’t like what someone has to say, so you brand them a liberal (the act of will involved being existential) — and then make your level best effort to baffle them with B.S., backed up by more acts of will (that being the cage)?
That’s pretty useful for self entertainment, and maybe even for getting the someone to give up on you and go away, but not useful for anything real. Definitely not for any sort of real God.
Why are you jumping on that bandwagon, AAC? An old motto about babies and bathwater comes to mind.
It’s self evident. Act like a liberal, you’re a liberal. Vote for liberals, promote voting for liberals...you know, things liberals do.
Not hard to figure out. Don’t want to be labeled a liberal, Don’t be one.. Don;’t like it? I don’t much care. Don’t read what I post. Don’t respond to it. your call.
And you, Mr. “All sins are equal” are a liberal.
Well bear in mind you are talking to a guy that sees abortion as no worse than masturbating on the sin scale. I believe the stateent was “All sins are the same to god” or something very close to it. But that was the gist. And who, and I quote, was ‘bemused’ over the PP videos when asked why he had been so silent about them.
He also follows me around trolling. Sometime I play, others not. But he’s always there to destroy a thread with his bastardized ‘gospel’. HiTek edition.
