On August 26, 2020 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued its decision in the case of Gavin Grimm v. Gloucester County School Board. The decision declared that rights of the plaintiff Gavin Grimm, a female student who considers herself male, were violated because the school board denied Grimm the right to access the boys' restroom and refused to amend school records to call her "male" after a court had ordered the state of Virginia to issue a new birth certificate indicating Grimm as a male. In justifying its opinion, the Court made many findings of fact (whether self-determined or sourced from friends of the court or the lower court) that not only defy common sense, but also are patently false or materially inaccurate. A few examples follow.
MENTAL DISORDER. The Court asserts at 7 that being transgender is not a psychiatric condition and "implies no impairment in judgment, stability, reliability, or general social or vocational capabilities." First, the Court's statement is inaccurate as to Grimm according to the American Psychiatric Association (APA) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5). The APA states that those distressed and impaired by their Gender Dysphoria (GD) meet the definition of a mental disorder. From the DSM-5 fact sheet Gender Dysphoria: "The critical element of Gender Dysphoria is the presence of clinically significant distress associated with the condition[.] ... This condition causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning." Second, the Court at 16 admits that Grimm's psychologist has confirmed that Grimm has G.D. Third, the Court at 42 found, citing a law review article, that Gender Identity Disorder (GID) was de-pathologized in 2013.

One has to marvel at the simple elegance of God’s primary piece of legislation, the 10 commandments, which you could print on a pair of stone tablets. If Congress wrote the 10 commandments, it would be 2,750 pages and no one in the chamber would have read it...or obeyed it, for that matter. And after a packed 73 member liberal Supreme Court got its grubby little hands on it for judicial review, it would be 230 commandments including the Thou shalt use which restroom commandment!
Thank God they didn’t. Just imagine what horror that would be.
“ Just imagine what horror that would be.”
Catholic much?
It is the parents that are insane not the kid..
Hell when I grew the girl would be a tomboy...but when she was in high school she was among the best looking and most athletic..
I sure was a tomboy when I was a kid. I learned to clime a tree when I was 11. Climbing trees is not what a girl does, or is it.
GET OVER IT!!!
The Founding States gave Congress the express constitutional power to impeach and remove activist judges from the bench.
H O W E V E R…
Instead of being able to rely on Congress to do its constitutional duty remove activist judges from the bench, we are still stuck with a worthless, corrupt Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration that will predictably munch popcorn while watching CNN show reluctant law enforcement officers making sure that the emotionally abused girl can use the boys’ room.
The remedy for constitutionally failed Congress…
Vote Republican ticket in the upcoming election.
Insights welcome.
please don’t expect me to accept you as you are not, when you cannot even accept you for who you are.
It's grooming children for castration.
Any culture that is OK with that is evil and must be destroyed.
States shouldn’t be facilitating identity fraud
God bless you Kaslin!
