The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up the issue of whether the nation's schools must allow students to use the bathroom that match their gender identities.
The court declined, without comment, to hear the case of Gavin Grimm, who has been at the center of a long legal battle with the school board in Gloucester County, Virginia. Grimm was born female but identified as male after his freshman year in high school, legally changing his name and beginning hormone therapy.
The principal at first gave him permission to use the boys' bathroom, but the school board later adopted a policy saying restrooms were "limited to the corresponding biological genders."
"For school officials, as for parents, the question how best to respond to a teenager who identifies with the opposite biological sex is often excruciatingly difficult," lawyers for the school district told the Supreme Court. But the privacy rights of millions of students are at risk if their transgender classmates are allowed to use bathrooms matching their gender identities, they said.
Lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union, representing Grimm, told the court that treating him differently by requiring him to use separate single-stall bathrooms singled him out "and stigmatized him as unfit to use the same restroom as his peers."
They said there was no need for the Supreme Court to take up the appeal, because the lower courts that have considered the issue reached the same conclusion — that treating transgender students differently violates a federal law, known as Title IX, that bans sex discrimination in school programs.

Eff the courts and gutless cowards black robed tyrants. Time for we the people to push back against all this perversion. If enough level headed women speak out and crusade against such evil to stem the tide.
As it should.
This is a political question, to be decided by the political process, NOT from the court.
You need to convince your fellow citizens that men are men, and women are women, and have them support candidates that believe the same.

Taking hormones and having your peter built or chopped off doesn’t make you more of a man or woman than does eating bananas and wearing a gorilla mask make you King Kong.

As it should. This is a political question, to be decided by the political process, NOT from the court. You need to convince your fellow citizens that men are men, and women are women, and have them support candidates that believe the same.
The problem is, the Court overruled the political process. In a fleeting moment of sanity, the school board made accommodations for the deranged kid, but the 4th circuit overruled them.
