JUST IN: Administration to lift transgender bathroom guidance

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration will revoke federal guidelines telling public schools to let transgender students use bathrooms and locker rooms matching their chosen gender identity, a government official said Wednesday.

The decision, not yet announced, would be a reversal of an Obama-era directive issued in May requiring public schools to grant bathroom access even if the student's chosen gender identity isn't the same as what's in the student's record. That guidance will be rescinded, though anti-bullying safeguards will not be affected by the change, a government official with direct knowledge of the Trump administration's plans told The Associated Press. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the plans and did so on condition of anonymity.

Although the guidance carried no force of law, transgender rights advocates say it was necessary to protect students from discrimination. Opponents argued it was overreach.

President Donald Trump believes the issue is for states to decide without the involvement of the federal government, the White House said.

Good. Folks around here need to keep their eyes open and their voices vocal around here because they are trying it here. If a boy identifies as a female they re allowed to use the female restroom. All too triphling and confused. I tell my daughters to use the bathroom before going out. Its disgusting to think a male will b in the bathroom w/ me or my daughters.

Did it ever occur to you all that the liberal media is making a big deal about this so-called issue because they're trying to steer you away from all the good things President Trump is doing for America? Like bringing jobs back to America? Like working to get the Healthcare under control? Like Tax Reform he's been working on?

People really need to stop listening to the white noise produced by liberal media and concentrate on what really matters to all Americans. Financial prosperity.

It's really so stupidly simple yet so hard to comprehend!
