Countdown: District Has 30 Days to Change Transgender Student Locker Room Policy or Lose Federal Funds

Uncle Sam isn’t going to let schools place certain restrictions on how transgender students use a single-sex locker room.

A school district near Chicago, Palatine 211, provides numerous accommodations for transgender students. The district calls the students by requested names, honors selected gender (including allowing them to play on the sports teams of the gender they identify as belonging to), and permits them to use single-sex bathrooms, since stalls ensure privacy.

But the federal government has decided the district is still guilty of violating Title IX, the law prohibiting sex-based discrimination, over certain locker room restrictions.

“District 211 is not excluding transgender students from their gender-identified locker room,” said district superintendent Daniel Cates in a statement. “Though our position has been inaccurately reported, a transgender student may use his or her gender-identified locker room simply by utilizing individual measures of privacy when changing clothes or taking showers.”

Another hidden danger of the rainbow battlefront. This and many other issues are a disease, a cancer on America.

I miss the days when one was strange,one kept it to him/herself.
Now, these people throw that strangeness in your face, knock you to the ground with it and rub it in with gusto.
Then demand that you apologize to them and give them money.
And ANY failure to give that individual everything they need to feel good about themselves will lead to even worse hurt feelings, to the point where federal officials will bring the hammer down on all the normal people.

How many "transgendered" uh, entities, are there to warrant that kind of investment, social change, disruption, and reaction??? School district are broke, but they have to spend money on THIS???
If I'm a dwarf, do I get to make every business and every school lower their counters and desks and everything else because I "feel bad about myself" and all those high counters and stuff remind me that normal people are taller than me???
Man up.
Life ain't fair and it ain't easy. Sooner or later, your sensitive strange self will have to deal with the real world and if my wife or daughter runs out of the restaurant restroom screaming "there's a man in there!", trust me --- there is no government agency or law that will stop me from lowering your IQ 50 points and teaching you how hard it is to eat with a straw.

The girls will defiantly find out if the 16 year old boy claiming to be a girl inside is telling the truth, one time in the community shower will tell it all. I could be Hard to deny.
