Transgender: HUD Issues Rule to Protect Women in Homeless Shelters
BREITBART ^ | June 14, 2020 | Penny Starr

Homeless shelters designed to house females now have protections so that women don’t have to share intimate spaces with biological men who “identify” as women, according to a new rule issued on Friday by U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The Washington Post reported on the rule, including the claim that the new rule will hurt transgender women:

The proposed rule would scrap the Obama administration’s 2016 guidance requiring such shelters to accept transgender people but retains its 2012 rule barring federal housing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The agency had been working on the regulation since spring 2019.

Under HUD’s proposed new rule, details of which were obtained by The Washington Post, operators of single-sex shelters may consider someone’s biological sex — instead of how they self-identify — in making placement and accommodation decisions. They could “determine an individual’s sex based on a good faith belief that an individual seeking access … is not of the sex, as defined in the single sex facility’s policy, which the facility accommodates,” the proposed rule says.

The Post headlined its report “HUD to change transgender rules for single-sex homeless shelters” and described it as the “latest effort by the Trump administration to rewrite federal rules on how government programs provide for transgender people.”

Score one point for sanity; take away two points if you think there won’t be withering retaliation from the demonic forces of the left.

It would be good to do the same for tranny women prerending to be men, to not let themin with actual men. Not only because they have no right to be there, but also to keep down false and actual harassment charges. Normal guys don’t need that hanging over their heads.

None of this mental illness bs should be enabled, be it men pretending to be women, or women pretending to be men.

Battered Women, Homeless Women, Abused Women, and Women who are going through crisis do NOT need Mentally Deranged, sexually deviant MEN invading their refuge.

Why is blackface universally condemned but men pretending to be women are mollycoddled?

How does this conflict with the new Supreme Court ruling?
