The Department of Justice argued in a brief to a federal court on Monday that transgender high school students should be able to use school restrooms that match up with their gender identity, and can't be forced by the school to use the restroom that matches up with their physical characteristics.
It's the first time the federal government has tried to make the case for this transgender right in a courtroom.
Justice's Civil Rights Division filed the brief on behalf of Gavin Grimm, a Virginia high school student who identifies as a boy, even though Grimm was born female.
"He was assigned the female sex at birth, but his gender identity is male and he presents as a boy in all aspects of his life," Justice wrote in its argument to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Grimm was allowed to use the boys' restroom for seven weeks, until Gloucester County Public Schools imposed a policy that barred Grimm from the boys' room. The school made that policy because Grimm is not "biologically male."
But Justice said Title IX of the Education Amendments, a law aimed at ending sexual discrimination, holds that the school's policy change is illegal.
"Under Title IX, discrimination based on a person's gender identity, a person's transgender status, or a person's nonconformity to sex stereotypes constitutes discrimination based on sex," Justice wrote. "As such, prohibiting a student from accessing the restrooms that match his gender identity is prohibited sex discrimination under Title IX."

This is unbelievable.
Parents of other students need to start filing lawsuits like crazy.
So a biological female will use a male restroom. I presume that applies to locker rooms as well. This is likely not going to end well for the female.
I bet a lot more pervs are going to enroll with this new incentive for rape opportunities. Oh that was the point?
Well you actually hit a point that may gain us a powerful ally.
The Chamber of Commerce.
If women are too afraid to go out shopping for fear of perverts hanging out in the “ladies” room then that’s bad for business.
Evidently we have to find some non traditional/religious/moral argument if we are to have any hope of prevailing.
All that said, it’s just depressing to think that I, my kids, and their kids will have to go a lifetime dealing with all of this absurdity (and much worse to come no doubt).
Please Lord return quickly.
Just do away with toilet room designations like “Boys” and “Girls” or “Men” and “Women” and relabel them “Innies” and “Outies”.
Then if the males transvestites and deviates want to join the females they will have to have their male plumbing removed.
And the she-men will have to have some plumbing added.
So, the “boy” who’s really a girl is going to belly up to the urinal with the rest of the guys? —
It is the urinal’s fault. It was designed by a man. And it is WHITE!
Because instead of the red or blue pill America swallowed the black pill in 2008
Simple, just have all schools build separate facilities; male facilities for females who think they’re males and female facilities for males who think they’re females.
Problem solved.
“He was assigned the female sex at birth...”
Who did the assigning?
Once we realize our civilization is lost, we can destroying this crap we have now and building a new civilization based on the old one.
Pretty sure God does the assigning.
Urinals are going to banned. It’s already starting in Europe. They’re always a few steps ahead of us (by definition since we’re conservatives).
Pervs everywhere are lovin’ it!
There is no reason to be, and it shouldn’t be allowed. I don’t need to go to the city, but if I did, there is no way I would go anywhere near a public restroom...
Because the modern generation cant even take a piss with out the governments help.
OMG ... LOL!!!!!
So any pervert can dress up like a woman and use the Women’s bathrooms in public places? In this brave new world, we’re going to have to plan our time away from home carefully.
Why, the God that doesn't exist of course...
Boy howdy! That would definitely test that social experiment.
Caitlyn Jenner now has to hike up a dress to use a urinal.
