The U.S. Justice Department is putting the feelings of transgenders -- men who think they are women and women who think they are men -- above the privacy rights of the vast majority of people who don't contest the biological facts of who they actually are.
"And what we must not do, what we must never do, is turn on our neighbors, our family members, our fellow Americans for something that they cannot control and deny what makes them human," Attorney General Loretta Lynch said on Monday.
"[N]one of us can stand by when a state enters the business of legislating identity and insists that a person pretend to be something or someone that they are not."
But Lynch was referring to people who, in fact, are pretending to be something that -- biologically -- they are not. A man "identifying" as a woman is not a biological woman. And likewise, a woman "identifying" as a man is not a biological man. Until now, that is, when the federal government has determined that biological facts matter less than wishes and feelings.
Lynch announced a federal civil rights lawsuit against North Carolina because of the state's new law (HB-2), which requires transgender people in public facilities to use the restrooms consistent with their sex "as noted at birth," rather than the restrooms that fit their "gender identity."
"We are seeking a court order declaring HB-2's restroom restriction impermissibly discriminatory, as well as a statewide bar on its enforcement," Lynch announced. She said the Justice Department also retains the option of "curtailing federal funding to the North Carolina Department of Public Safety and the University of North Carolina as this case proceeds."
A person may think they’re a jackass but that doesn’t make them one. On the other hand what comes out of their mouths certainly can make them one.
then don’t insist I believe their lie too, or accommodate them in their self deception.
Dear Ms Lynch:
I feel that Texas is an independent sovereign republic.
Now GFY.

Lynch deserves a 20 yr stretch in Guantanamo
Lynch is a boy.
Lynch is a fool. Facts are facts, feelings don’t change the facts.
The insane Left is trying to get rid of gender difference so they can play in sports much as they play at being soldiers and hero’s and etc.
They are as nuts as could ever be.
Are we witnessing and living in the modern fall of Rome?
The federal government gives preferential treatment in awarding contracts to minority and female owned businesses. Seems like a golden opportunity for someone to test the limits of this gender stuff.
I may believe I'm a Martian.
Does that make me one, Loretta?
“Can I insist Im a minority when I apply for college?”
Why not, it worked for Sen. Elizabeth “Liawatha” Warren (Moonbat-MA)
The states can’t say who’s a man or a woman but the physiognomy of each most definitely can.
I don’t know about states, but I can!!!
I am embarrassed to say that this woman is from NC! No matter what a person may do to their bodies through hormone treatment or surgical adjustment, NOTHING will ever change what is inside the nucleus of each and every one of their cells. If they were born a male, their cells contain both an X and a Y chromosomes. If they were born a female, their cells contain two X chromosomes. END OF STORY!!
The Democrats “War on Science.”
But states CAN “insist” that men use the men’s room and ladies use the ladie’s room. It’s called common sense. Now shut up Loretta and go mop the ladies room. There’s pee all over the floor and all of the toilet seats have been left up.
A person can’t insist he’s a she or she’s a he if his or her genitals demonstrate otherwise.....
Loretta needs to be sent to the back of the bus ...
Dear Loretta Lynch:
Does a State have to allow sale of alcohol or guns, or issue a driver’s license, to a biological 12 year-old, if the 12 year-old feels that he/she/it is 25?
