Northern Va. school systems unite behind transgender student in landmark case

Four Northern Virginia school systems are declaring in court their support for the rights of transgender students, weighing in on a landmark case involving a teenager embroiled in a years-long legal fight over his attempt to use the boys’ restroom at his high school.

The school boards in the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church, and Fairfax and Arlington counties, said last month in court papers that they stand behind Gavin Grimm, a transgender teen who sued the school board in Gloucester County, Va., after he was barred from the boys’ restroom.

Grimm’s case, which ascended to the Supreme Court and became a touchstone in the fight for transgender student rights, is scheduled for a July trial in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The case returned to the lower court after the Trump administration abandoned an Obama-era rule on transgender students.

The Northern Virginia school systems say in court papers that they think they “must embrace the thousands of students in Virginia public schools who . . . identify as transgender.”

School districts say school students should be able to use whatever bathroom they want. It is their right.

"The issue of whether to provide protections for transgender students has divided communities across the country. Those who oppose letting transgender students use the bathrooms they prefer argue that doing so could jeopardize other students’ safety and privacy."

They "identify" with this insanity because the still-more-insane teachers and administrators celebrate such crap.

Can a 55 year old male identify as an 8 year old girl and go to school there?

Boys have penises, girls have vaginas.

These Administrators, faculty and staff are as mentally ill as these trannies and should be removed for moral turpitude.

Indulging these trannies in their delusions is dangerous and harms everyone else.

What are they going to do when us women get up in arms about having pseudo-men in OUR restrooms?

Obviously, fake-sex trumps sex lately. Women have all kinds of rights - until they’re up against a he-she.

I hate Democrats.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why not? What are the rules on who is and who is not a legal crossdresser?

I plan to identify as a black female since I bid on government construction projects and they are always giving preference to minorities.

They are all abnormal.

The main people to get angry at are the ENABLERS.

Which basically defines “Democrat”: ENABLER.

Just create a transgender bathroom and be done with it.

He claims a third gender. So let him and his fellow travelers have their own bathroom.

Leave the rest of the kids alone.

This amounts to an attack on them. They have rights too.

For years queers said they just wanted to be left alone and not be beaten up. Now they insist on forcing us to accept their perversion.

Exactly! Sorry, but that is the truth of it.

I’m not trying to give them a hard time. They’ve come out. Fine. Now have the same respect for us that you said you wanted for yourself.

Leave us alone. Enjoy your life, and the minimalist things you said would make you happy.

If you can’t do that, all bets should be off.

There’s no reason straights have to lose their rights to privacy.

It is weird how - for the left - transgenderism has suddenly become the most important issue of all.

If the student was a HE, there would be no problem with HIM using the MEN’s restroom. But SHE is not allowed in the MEN’s restroom because SHE was born FEMALE and to this day, remains FEMALE.

Of course it will be a matter of days after this girl's first visit to the boy's room that she'll claim to have been molested by several boys and then will file a multi million dollar lawsuit against the school district.

Delusional...but smart...girl.
