resident Obama’s done lost his mind. He’s just flushed the civil rights of men and women, boys and girls, to pee in peace and shower without having naked, sexually confused or sexually predatory members of the opposite sex ogling them, or intentionally exposing their genitalia for a cheap thrill.
Reports Fox News: “The Obama administration has sent a letter to every public school district in the country telling them to allow transgender students [meaning students pretending to be the opposite sex] to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their chosen gender identity, as opposed to their birth certificate. …
“While the letter does not have the force of law, it does warn that schools that do not abide by the administration’s interpretation of civil rights law may face lawsuits or loss of federal aid.”
The operative phrase here is, “does not have the force of law.” This is a cynical exercise in pure propaganda on the part of the Obama administration. The directive is entirely toothless and universally at odds with long-standing and unambiguous legislative intent and judicial interpretation of both Titles VII and IX of federal law.
It’s clearly in response to North Carolina’s federal lawsuit against the administration in defense of that state’s HB2 bathroom bill. “This is an attempt to unilaterally rewrite long-established federal civil rights laws in a manner that is wholly inconsistent with the intent of Congress and disregards decades of statutory interpretation by the courts,” notes North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory’s complaint.
School officials should, and must, ignore this absurd disinformation campaign. It’s nothing short of a frantic effort to curb the rising national tide of fierce opposition to genderless bathrooms, locker rooms and showering facilities.
“There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex,” claims Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
One small problem: Title VII clearly defines what is meant by “sex.” It was intended to bar discrimination against women (real women), and Lynch knows it: “The terms ‘because of sex’ or ‘on the basis of sex’ include, but are not limited to, because of or on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions; and women affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions shall be treated the same for all employment-related purposes.”
As noted by former Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank Lipuma in the John Marshal Law Review, the “courts have defined ‘sex’ according to the traditional notions of biological sex.”
Even hard-left Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has acknowledged this indisputable fact for years, writing in the Washington Post, “Separate places to disrobe, sleep, perform personal bodily functions are permitted, in some situations required, by regard for individual privacy.” When you’ve moved to the left of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, there’s no left left.
Moreover, Congress has, without fail, rejected efforts to include “gender identity” or “sexual orientation” in federal law. It is abundantly clear that the lawmakers who drafted and passed Titles VII and IX never dreamed that “sex” might include a man laboring under the delusion that he’s a woman.
And so, true to form, Friday’s “guidance” letter represents but another desperate attempt by our despot-in-chief to circumvent the constitutional process through executive fiat.
This “gender identity” madness is “The Emperor’s New Clothes” meets George Orwell. We must all pretend, under penalty of law, that a man in a miniskirt is magically a woman, or face the wrath of “progressive” Big Brother (or is it Big Sister?)
I’m so confused!
Not only is the extremist “LGBT” agenda counter-constitutional, offensive and outrageous, it’s also extremely dangerous. There have already been dozens of instances wherein sexual predators have brazenly leveraged these “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” policies for their own perverted purposes. Consider, for example, the following. If it doesn’t make your blood boil, then you just might be a liberal:
Washington state, dateline 2012: Colleen is just like the girl next door. Well, sort of. Colleen has a penis. So, I guess, unless the girl next door has a penis, Coleen really isn’t much like her at all.
But that’s beside the point. In Washington you must, by law, pretend, along with Colleen, President Obama and Loretta Lynch, that, in the face of both reality and sanity, Colleen really is like the girl next door. This includes letting Colleen, who is actually a 47-year-old dude named Clay Scott Francis, lie naked and “sprawled out in a sauna exposing himself” to girls as young as 6-years-old. This really happened in the ladies locker room at Evergreen State College.
Slow down there, Dad. According to Washington state law, if you have a problem with Mr. Francis baring all to your baby girl, then you’re the problem. You’re a “transphobe” (“homophobia’s” evil twin). Deck this pervert for terrifying your first-grader and you’re off to jail while “Colleen” is off to the “Human Rights Campaign” for a commendation as the latest victim of an “anti-LGBT hate crime.”
Rosa Parks in drag, I guess.
It’s only fair, you see, because, as Clay, er, “Colleen,” complained, and as police agreed, this sicko was “discriminated against” when he was asked to leave on behalf of a terrorized 17-year-old girl. “This is not 1959 Alabama,” cried Francis. “We don’t call police for drinking from the wrong water fountain.”
On this, Francis, Loretta Lynch and the larger Obama administration are simpatico. They share this bizarre hostility toward objective biological reality and the safety and privacy rights of women and children.
And the farcical “civil rights” card is their ruse of choice.
“It was not so very long ago that states, including North Carolina, had other signs above restrooms, water fountains, and on public accommodations, keeping people out based on a distinction without a difference. We’ve moved beyond those dark days,” opined Lynch last week.
“Distinction without a difference?” Evidently AG Lynch skipped third-grade biology. Time for a “birds and bees” refresher at 1600 Pennsylvania. It remains unclear whether Mr. Francis drafted Lynch’s off-the-wall remarks himself.
Get that, my African-American friends? According to both the Obama administration and their ally, Clay Scott Francis, a beneficiary of “white privilege,” a man who, incidentally, identifies as a “transgender lesbian” (meaning he’s sexually attracted to females), to be told that you cannot sprawl naked and intentionally expose your manly bits to 6-year-old girls is no different from being relegated to a “colored only” water fountain.
What a tangled web of gender dysphoria and progressive pathology we weave. It is not “transphobia” to recognize that “transgender girls” are not real girls. It is an empirical, biological fact that “transgender girls” are not real girls. They are, have always been and always will be boys, no matter how deep-seated their sexual confusion.
This madness must stop.
Time to man up, America.
He is the obamanation of America’s desolation and may have done us in. We are on the brink of disaster in America.
How do you justify separate men’s and women’s bathrooms at all, and at the same time justify this newly discovered “right”?
This is a distraction.
Once North Carolina (or any other state government or local school district) decides to forego all federal money to run the local schools, it will be very interesting to see what other federal mandates they can ignore.
I think you are correct. Tying to deflect from hillarys e-mail problem.
Huxley predicted this in Chapter 3 of “Brave New World”:
Roger that.
If you "prep", this summer would be the time to fine-tune things. Don't think we're making it to November in one piece.
Any state that can function without Federal moneys will have in effect seceded from Washington’s rule!
THIS is how CWII will break out. And, as before, the Feds will make the first military move.
Not at all.
Obama and his ilk are Post-modernists. Their goal is to replace Judeo/Christian morality and culture with a world in which moral relativism is the rule.
That requires the destruction of Christian morality and the Ten Commandments and the cultural installation of the principle of "Anything Goes" or, to quote the Satanists, "Do What Thou Wilt" or "Do What Feels Good."
The mistake of the Post-modernists though is that Christianity cannot be destroyed because God does actually exist.
I think the Post-modernists know deep down that God does exist, but they also know deep down that Satan exists and they believe Satan will somehow protect them from the wrath of God.
Unfortunately for the Post-modernists, Satan has told them a lie...and they believed it.
Gutless School Boards will rush to accommodate this lunacy.
I didn’t know so many men in The U.S. had potty problems!
Never got any potty training? Don’t know which way to point their peckers? Is there a handicap-welfare-check for that? Or is Obama the only one with this problem and is projecting his own confusion on the total population?
If a male FEELS that he is female, he needs to reach down and FEEL again.
How many women are demanding to pee in the men’s room?
Moochie made him do it.
Here is a disturbing compilation of recent incidents of sexual assaults and peeping Toms in ladies’ rooms.
The pro-trannie PC/MSM is blocking these stories and pretending they don’t happen, but they do. Here are the first few on the very long list.

The girl told her mother, who was waiting for her outside the bathroom, that a man was in the adjoining stall using his cell phone camera to record her as she used the facilities. Employees called the police, who found the man still in the bathroom an hour later, using his phone to access pornography, while in the stall, as well as using the camera on the phone to look under other stalls in order to view women next to him.
2. Clearwater, FL – Ricky Blake Thompson (18). Police: Man attacks 6-year-old girl in women’s bathroom.

The man turned himself into the authorities after the incident.
3. Olympia, WA. - Unidentified male. Sexual Assault Victims Speak Out Against Washington’s Transgender Bathroom Policies. Daily Signal, January 25, 2016, available athttp://dailysignal.com/2016/01/25/sexual-assault-victims-speak-out-against-washingtons-transgender-bathroom-policies/. YMCA Communications Director resigns, 300 families cancel membership due to YMCA policy allowing men into women’s restrooms. Prior to the statewide YMCA policy, the YMCA in Pierce County began allowing “transgender” members to use the locker room of their choosing. When the policy was formally written, the communications director (a sexual assault victim) told her superiors that she could not support this decision. YMCA asked her to resign, and promised 10 weeks’ severance if she kept quiet. After 300 households canceled their memberships over the new policy, in September 2015, YMCA scaled it back to try to appease the members that were leaving. By December 2015, however YMCA had reinstated the policy of allowing men in women’s lockers (and vice versa), stating that it was simply following state law.
4. Seattle, WA – Unidentified male. Seattle man in women’s locker room cites gender rule.

I was told that directives are only issued for US security interests, and they had to be approved by the National Security Council. Am I missing something? Correct me if I am wrong, please!
It is not a distraction. It is what PC has ALWAYS been about, ie, FORCING all to the will of the central power. NOTHING will demonstrate this power better than making Joe Sixpack agree that indeed the stark naked empror’s new clothes are fine.
If it does not have the force of law, then the threat to withhold funds does not have the force of law either.
Duh!
