Federal judge dismisses a challenge to Tennessee's school bathroom law

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit challenging a Tennessee law that bans transgender students and staff from using school bathrooms or locker rooms that match their gender identities.

A transgender student, identified only as D.H., filed the lawsuit nearly two years ago, saying her school stopped supporting her social transition after the Republican-dominant Statehouse and GOP Gov. Bill Lee enacted several policies targeting accommodations for transgender people.

The school instead accommodated the student by allowing her to use one of four single-occupancy restrooms. However, according to D.H.'s attorneys, the accommodation caused severe stress, leading to the student briefly stopping using the restroom and limiting food and water to minimize her need for the restroom. D.H. sued the state and school district saying the law violated her constitutional rights under the Equal Protection Clause and also Title IX, the 1972 federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education.

The Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ+ rights group representing D.H., called the decision a “disappointing setback”

“However, we will continue to fight for Tennessee’s LGBTQ+ youth so they can have the freedoms they deserve,” Ami Patel, an attorney for the organization, said in a statement.

Why is it the liberal left leaning judges are always in the news about overturning laws like this yet conservative right leaning judges never overturn liberal leaning laws?

“Human Rights Campaign” or HRC is a far left wing organization fully in favor of grooming children. They and their supporters need to be called out at every corner.

The law was upheld to keep people with penises in the boys room.

In fact, according to the article, the school allowed this confused young man to have his own bathroom- yet that’s not good enough for the child groomers.

Because one side is trying to do what judges should do and dispense fair, blind, justice, and uphold or determine constitutionality of the law.

The other side is progressive scum promoting a socialist agenda bent on destroying the Constitution and American values of unalienable rights, private property rights, and of being a nation of laws and not men.

Also known as Democrats.

Apparently we need new restrooms marked “Mental Patients” for the trannies to use.

Yep. It was never about the bathroom.

This is a win for our side against the tranny nutters.

Trump judge William Campbell Jr. ruled against the nutters.

The article is just poorly written by a failed English major employed by the Associated Pravda.

Modern Journalism makes my head spin...

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit
challenging a Tennessee law
that bans transgender students and staff
from using school bathrooms or locker rooms
that match their gender identities.

Is this good or bad?

LOL...thanks for your prior comment on the previous article. You and I think alike.
This is a win for our side against the tranny nutters.

Trump judge William Campbell Jr. ruled against the nutters.

The article is just poorly written by a failed English major employed by the Associated Pravda.

The five or six consecutive negatives always leave my head spinning. I try to "unpack" those dopey sentences but usually give up in disgust. "a win for our side against the tranny nutters" tells me what I need to know.

I was honestly just think about how many legal victories we have had in the past months.

The SCOTUS is a ringer for us.

Even a number of decisions at lower levels have gone Trump’s way.

A few other things.

We only see the other side her mostly...which makes sense...we need to know what the enemy is up to.

But we should have a “victory” section too :)
