Trump administration to lift federal transgender bathroom guidelines

Dems rip Trump administration for revoking Obama's transgender directive

No student should face discrimination at school because of who they are,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement. "Transgender students have the same right to a safe environment at school and in their community as everyone else.”

“Withdrawing the historic guidance from the Obama Administration to protect transgender students is a cruel blow to an already vulnerable group of young people,” she added.

“This move shows President Trump cannot be trusted to defend the rights of LGBT Americans. This is not a state issue. This is an issue of equality for all.”

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) tweeted that Wednesday's move "is just plain wrong & cuts directly across the drive for equality."

Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.) also panned the Trump administration’s decision on Twitter Wednesday.

“Every student, no matter their gender identity, should feel welcome in school,” he wrote. "We must do more, not less, to achieve this goal.”

“Trump’s decision to subject transgender kids to bigotry in the name of ‘states’ rights’ marks a major setback in the fight for civil rights,” Durbin said in a second tweet.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) tweeted that the new guidance is “an appalling decision that targets kids because of who they are.”

Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) tweeted that the decision shows Trump “thinks LGBT stands for ‘Let’s Go Back in Time.’”

“He’s wrong,” Markey wrote. "We stand with the transgender community in fight to defend progress.”

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) called the measure an “absolutely shameful reversal of progress in civil rights & equality for transgender students.”

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) additionally condemned the new guidance on Facebook, vowing his state would keep protection for transgender students in place.

"Washington state will continue to be a place where all children can feel safe from discrimination, harassment or assault based on their gender identity," he said.

"We will continue to stand together to protect some of our most vulnerable students — we know these young people face high rates of bullying, harassment and even violence

Well, no I would not do that, but if the men's room is occupied and the ladies room is not, then I am not waiting. Why should I?
..pervert..
if I can lock the door I do the same-if not I do not want a woman to walk in..these are ordinary customary behaviors..
and it depends on the urgency of my needs, time involved etc.
 
Trump administration to lift federal transgender bathroom guidelines

I don't recall what if any court challenges there were to Obama's legal deciphering of Title #9.

But I suspect somewhere along the line Obama was challenged on it.

If that is the case, and the court let Obama's standard stand, then it's difficult to imagine how Trump's attempting to reverse the policy would ALSO be consistent with the same laws.

I'm not a law expert on trans-gender civil rights. But I'd guess wildly that the Trumpkins are cruisin' for a brusin' on this one.
 
rock concerts are notorious for having long lines for women during intermission

Many times Ive seen men's rooms where the guys let the ladies use the stalls.
I've seen some women use the urinals. Everybody gets the fact people gotta go,and it's no biggie

Yeah, I have witnessed that lots of times. And the women were perfectly safe maybe moreso than in the ladies room.
 
You are a lunatic if you support equality under the law or is one a lunatic for thinking that the trans people face discrimination? Why?
Trans is not the same as "sexual identity" - i ve addressed this on a previous post-
Title IX expansion by Obama is about what's in their minds, stick to physiology at least from federal dictate..

States an locals are free to amend as they wish-as are private facilities

Yes. Rock concerts, and most other similar public venues. Being able to void while standing is both convenient, and time-saving.
The solution is to:

a) do the math. Figure out how much longer it takes 10 women to do the same thing 10 men do in there.

b) Expand the woman's facility so that each can handle the same number of occupants per hour.

Please forgive my crude inquiry here:

- Wouldn't a human born male, an thus biologically appointed, even if she identifies as female, still be able to make a big fat wee-wee standing up?

Peeing sitting down is inconvenient, especially if your petticoat gets wet dipping into the bowl.

- oops-

Why would you care?

In college at my frat house we had three mens rooms and a womans room... during big parties the women would usually outnumber the men.

We simply turned all bathrooms co-ed, it was never a problem.

And this was in ALABAMA!

Thank you for not boring us with that. I don't care about the labels and the part of the guidelines that attempted to control pronoun use is absolute nonsense. If you wish to think of Buck as a woman while you look at "her" rack, go ahead.

What's in their minds or between their legs has nothing to do with their right to be protected from discrimination and bullying.

Women often get piss on their legs if they do it standing, some can accomplish it, Ive seen it done. Many need to squat to avoid getting their legs wet.

So how long have you been watching women taking a leak?

anti-bullying laws remain in effect.
It's a lunatic stretch to include gender identity as a protected class like minority when we are talking about biology.
You say you are a libertarian,but I do not see any independent views from Democrats/statist from you.

cannot/locals the states do this as they wish according to prevailing public attitudes?
of course they can
 
a win for sanity of thought, federalism and push back on the regulatory state.
And CA or MA or progressive locals can still so what they want without forcing their pecadillo on others

Oh please, Daddy's attempt to punish so called sanctuary cities is a bigger violation. Then there were his threats to punish Berkeley for failing to give your favorite promoter of pedophilia a stage. Let's not pretend it has anything to do with principle.

Any publically funded institution that attempts to deny speakers a platform should know that there could be repercussions. As for sanctuary cities,how is that even legal ffs?
