Why would anyone care where people go the bathroom? Where do you think transsexuals have been going all these years? What nonsense.

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.
So, meanwhile, transgender individuals win. At least that's something. 👍🏻
With any luck, this will hold untill the rest of the nation follows suit.
Only in those circuits where the court has allowed students to use the bathroom of choice. There are several circuits that voted to deny this. Your rights now depend on where you live in the country until either the SCOTUS one days takes it up or some sort of Title IX changes force it.
Wouldn't want to reveal any bigotry during an election year.
Have you ever seen an election year?
Revealing the bigotry is basically the point. Trump talked about immigrants poisoning the blood of the country and it made him more popular.
Pretty sure they don’t give a shit about revealing bigotry when ever they feel like it. In fact it’s a feature for the right
I wish there were more non-gendered restrooms.
The one's I've been to usually has shared sinks and has stalls that fully enclosed, as in you can't look under the stall. Most restrooms in the US, you can see under the stall in front and from an adjacent stall.
And the urinals is usually in a separate area of the restrooms.
This, these are the best bathrooms anyways. I'd rather not listen to someone on the phone with someone else while using the restroom, lol. Animals, man.
If the lower courts are divided, isn't it the job of the Supreme Court to make it clear?
They kinda have made it clear though. By rejecting the appeal, they're saying that the 7th Circuit Court's decision stands.
Except the Fourth Eleventh Circuit went the other direction with an almost identical Florida school policy, so the question of "Is it ok under the US Constitution for schools to force transgender students to use a particular bathroom?" has a different answer depending on where you live, which is the exact kind of thing the Supreme Court is supposed to deal with.
e; Whoops, had the wrong court and wrong case. That's been updated now, but for the record here's the older case I had been linking to
Except that they aren't overriding the other courts, so really they are saying that it's up to every circuit to set their own standard.
Typically, yes. Now, not so much.
They're saving all their energy for the upcoming craziness if/when Trump is elected President while in prison.
upheld an order granting transgender boys access to the boys’ bathroom.
Why is it only focusing on 1 gender?
Always think its odd they want someone like this or this in the women's washroom...
Ultimately, what it boils down to is that they want to force trans people to de-transition, go back into the closet, and hopefully kill themselves. The pain and aggravation caused by these stupid bathroom laws is quite literally the point.
