The Supreme Court on Tuesday passed up a chance to intervene in the debate over bathrooms for transgender students, rejecting an appeal from an Indiana public school district.
Federal appeals courts are divided over whether school policies enforcing restrictions on which bathrooms transgender students can use violate federal law or the Constitution.
In the case the court rejected without comment, the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an order granting transgender boys access to the boys’ bathroom. The appeal came from the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) southwest of Indianapolis.
They have a whole
fantasyconspiracy they’ve cooked up where we’re sneaking in to women’s restrooms to do human trafficking and dark web revenge porn and shit.And that’s the typical projection of the conservatives who revealed that they would do that if they had the ability.
If a trans man sneaks into the boys room, everybody in the room spontaneously turns gay.
If a trans woman sneaks into the girls room, it’s a lesbian orgy.
I don’t make the facts.
I think a bigger concern are regular men using this as an excuse to creep on women in bathrooms.
At least that’s what I hear women saying. They’re afraid of men using their restrooms.
It’s so much easier for a cis man to say he’s a trans man than for a cis man to dress as a woman and try to pass as a trans woman.
Not saying you haven’t, but I’ve never once heard a woman afraid of men creeping on women in the bathroom. But I’m curious, aside from someone outside the bathroom doors either checking genitals or birth certificates, how exactly would enforcement of a bathroom bill work?
Cis woman here, I not only have never been afraid of the possibility that a man might enter the woman’s bathroom, if I ever encountered a man in the woman’s bathroom I’d just assume they accidentally went in the wrong one or maybe it was a dad taking his daughter in or something similarly innocuous.
I really hope all trans women can feel safe one day entering the women’s room (and trans men with the men’s room) so they can use it in peace. Bathroom policers can fuck all the way off.
