I am not aware of any sex discrimination in the use of bathrooms. There are two sexes and two rest rooms in most cases. No one is denied access to rest rooms.

There is no right to use the opposite sex bathroom or to arbitrarily make a personal decision to use the other one. That is anarchy, not freedom from discrimination.

"I am not aware of any sex discrimination in the use of bathrooms."

I am sure that many people who appreciate the security and relative privacy of traditional men’s / women’s restrooms would disagree with you.

I look forward to hearing your comments about the other points in my post which concern constitutional problems with politically correct transgender restrooms.

I think you misunderstand my post and i don’t want to review all of your comments. Transgenders and Obama are claiming there is discrimination of people who want to choose the bathroom irrespective of their plumbing. That is not discrimination. If you have access to a bathroom, you a re not being discriminated against. There is no right to choose bathrooms because you decide to declare you are a sex which conflicts with your plumbing.

That’s my point.

If I were a boy, I would start urinating outside onto the school in protest.. Girls should not be in boys bathrooms and vice versa.

And I’m regularly told that an Article V state convention to propose amendments to the Constitution is dangerous.

There is no practical limit to judicial lawmaking.

Article I Section 1 has been judicially repealed, and along with it the republic.

"If you have access to a bathroom, you a re not being discriminated against."

What you seem to be saying is that it is okay to segregate on the basis of biological sex, segregation based on discrimination imo.

But consider that the Supreme Court decided against segregation in Brown v. Board of Education, the Court not buying the Board’s argument that separate but equal is okay.

But regardless of segregation and discrimination issues, the Supreme Court has also clarified that powers that the states have not delegated to the feds expressly via the Constitution, the power to decide policy for INTRAstate restrooms in this example, are prohibited to the feds.

”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

The constitutionally powerful states need to put a stop to unconstitutional interference in state affairs by the constitutionally humbled federal government.

I missed the EEO legislation which made “choice of biological sex” a protected class.

"I missed the EEO legislation which made “choice of biological sex” a protected class."

Note that the constitutional clause which prohibits the feds from establishing elite classes (1.9.8) uses the word “granted,” basically the same word that Clause 1 of Section 2 of Article II uses with respect to presidential pardons which aren’t based on legislative powers. So I don’t necessarily see constitutionally mandated congressional involvement in federal action which effectively establishes elite classes.

Will it be using the boys’ locker room as well? Will it be playing all(mostly) male sports? What will it do when it gets hurt?
