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."
We are, the Army can’t be armed in Garrison, Islamic “consultants” dictate our policy towards the invaders, the leadership is more worried and hurting the feelings of the enemies rather than protecting the citizens, morality is now immoral and immorality is normal, our president denagrates Israel, marginalizes Christianity, and admires Islam, Homosexuality and transgenders have more rights than normal people, and we have given up on protecting our borders.
Yes, the Great Fall of the New Rome is about to happen. Some believe a Hillary presidency will end the United States forever. She has restarted the Cold War and some believe she is emotionally unstable enough to start a nuclear war with Russia and end the US forever.
These are the Glory Days the Apostles talked about, when right would be wrong and wrong would be right, and judgment is about to fall on the earth

stupid is as stupid does..who confirmed her anyway?
Feel like a Dog and take a Dump in the street just like Obama’s Illegals
This.
“Can I insist I’m a minority when I apply for college?”
1) compared to the population if the world, caucasions are a tiny minority
2) according to every anthropology textbook in any university you want to apply to, all people evolved in africa, which means everybody is african american. I do not remember any statute of limitations on how long ago ones ancestors had to have left africa to cancel out ones african heritage which is 100% because everybody in the family all the way back can be traced to africa since that is the original population. So all relatives all the way back are by deinition 100% african, and I only look different because combinations of recessive genes over millenium cause my body to produce fewer molecules of melanin per cubic centimeter of epidermis
So why can’t a 16 year old teen just identify with people who are 21 years old. They feel like they’re 21 so why can’t they buy alcohol? They want to party like the big guys and why are you discriminating against them. Give ‘em a drink.
WIC!!!!
We’re counting the days until these vermin are gone.
This is silly beyond belief. All the problems we have, why this?
She thinks she’s Eric Holder.
Just one more distraction to take our eye off the ball. He will push as long as we are willing to take it.
If it were in the interest of government aggregating power, these twits would be insisting that water isn’t wet and that the sky is purple.
Reality means nothing when weighed against the exercise of raw power.
True.
