Recently the Supreme Court rejected an appeal by a Virginia School Board to reinstate its transgender bathroom ban. This ban at the time was instituted to forbid then 15 year old Gavin Gramm, who was biologically a female, from using the boys restroom.
Frankly I don’t understand the problem. I am mostly libertarian. I believe in individual rights. I will not discriminate against anyone’s race, sex, political affiliations, religion, etc etc etc. But I assume as a 15 yr old young woman, Gavin would not have been trying to pee in a urinal. She would be using an enclosed toilet. So what the hell is the difference between using an enclosed toilet in the women’s restroom or the boys restroom. Meanwhile the boys would be concerned about their rights to be peeing in an open urinal without wondering if the person coming out of the stall is a male or some perverse female pretending to be transgender.
What makes her rights any more important than the boys rights? A few years ago a similar story appeared in the local papers about a Kenosha school girl wanting to use the boys restrooms. This is probably a story appearing in many cities and towns across the country as if it is one of societies main issues of the 21st century.
What is the matter with this country? Covid has killed millions of people in the past year. Children are dying in war zones around the world and starving in famine stricken areas. Our planet is overpopulated. And our government including the Congress. Senate, President, and Supreme Court is wasting its time on bathroom issues. So silly. SSFS (stupid, stupid, fucking stupid)!
Our country was once a noble land with high ideals, admittedly not always reaching those ideals, but even today striving to be better and more humane and understanding of individual rights. But today the term “individual rights” has lost its meaning in the cries of special interest groups whose claims of protecting individuals is a foggy mist hiding their real mission of obtaining special rights only for their “special” group. What is so special?
Shame on America. Shame on these special interests. Shame on any person who puts their rights ahead of any other individual’s rights.
And if a girl wants to pee with the boys, she should first pee like the boys!

“But I assume as a 15 yr old young woman, Gavin”
Why assume that a 15-year-old young man is a 15-year-old woman?

Tom, the news article was specific. Gavin had not yet transitioned to a male. He was using his male name and dressing male but still had female plumbing.

And I was specific too. You’re conflating gender identity with biological sex, and driving yourself crazy with ideas for the state to engage in social engineering to implement your conflation.
