More absolute non-sense and some wonder why Trump is popular. This is appalling but par for the course. Title IX and liberals opened this can of worms, while making lawsuits going beyond what it was the legislation proposed to do. SrA Christopher Wright @ssgt john SSgt John S. SFC Joe S.

This legislation is one of the most positive things to happen to transgender children and is an amazing step forward for equality and social justice. More and more bigoted hate filled people are becoming the minority and a culture which understands and accepts trans people (yes like myself) is rising up. The push back that we are receiving from the hate mongers on the right is nothing more than a death rattle of an narrow minded way of thinking and a group of people who cannot accept that They have already lost. Transgender people are not freaks. We are not perverts and we are not filled with some boogie man sin. We are afflicted with something that most likely happened in utero and every REPUTABLE medical association in America (to include Johns Hopkins now) has said that gender transition is the answer. Also, the argument that this will open the door for perverts to sneak into the restroom sounds like a problem with men, not trans women. Funny how men can't control themselves (look at the fact that xhamster recently said North Carolina is number 3 in the nation for transgender porn hits) and the rest of us have to suffer.

Well put SSG Patricia King. The trans community and allies are winning step by step. There are some setbacks along the way, but the gears of change are fully in motion. I've said this before and I'll say this again: this renewed, vigerous attack against transgender rights os little more than the self aware death knoll of a dying ideology.

Gender dysphoria was declassified as a disorder in 2012. It's most likely something that happens in utero at about week 15-20 of pregnancy during an androgen surge. This is after biological sex is determined but while the fetal brain is forming and likely when gender identity occurs.
The American psychiatric association, and American medical association both overwhelmingly agree that the best "treatment" for this condition is to transition into your target gender. Reparative therapy has been proven time and again to be dangerous and often causes depression and deep suicidal tendencies. The statistics on the size of the transgender population are accurate that we are a small segment of society, however, it's impossible to predict with any accuracy exactly how small or large as many trans people have been closeted due to fear of persecution. There is no definitive census. What we do know is that in recent years we have seen a growth not in the trans population but in those comfortable coming out. With time that will likely be a trend.
I use the term bigoted carefully. I have known that I was trans since I was 8 years old. I never chose this and have tried desperately to unchose it. Through therapy and faith. Through service to country. The inescapable fact is that I am a trans woman. My doctors and therapists spoke with me about transition. Now in the case of any other medical condition you would tell me to listen to my doctors. But in this case that's exactly what I do and people tell me that in wrong. I use the term bigoted because it fits. I am not a danger to anyone. Nor is my community at large. There is no historical or anecdotal fact to support otherwise. A bill of goods including hate and fear is being sold and folks are buying it up because they are unwilling or unable to understand something that is different. Society is moving towards acceptance of the transgender community. It will take time and there will be pushback, but it will happen.

Thanks SSgt (Join to see) as resident of Virginia I was saddened that this 4th Circuit Court ruling occurred in Virginia on behalf of a girl who from outward appearances appears to be a very heavy boy. I receive Heritage.org emails every day.
The idea that "single occupancy" bathrooms, locker rooms and showers is discriminatory is bizarre.
The fourth circuit courts is an activist court now. That isn't surprising considering the Virginia Attorney General is an ultra-liberal who frequently sides against the Virginia state constitution.
the "majority relies not on the actual text, history, or legal implementation of Title IX, but on a 2015 letter from the Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Education: “The recent Office for Civil Rights letter, moreover, which is not law but which is the only authority on which the majority relies, states more than the majority acknowledges.” Indeed, that letter suggested that schools “offer the use of gender-neutral, individual-user facilities to any student who does not want to use shared sex-segregated facilities.”
"In a stinging dissent, Judge Paul Niemeyer points out that “the majority’s opinion, for the first time ever, holds that a public high school may not provide separate restrooms and locker rooms on the basis of biological sex.” It’s hard to imagine that that’s what Congress was prohibiting when it enacted Title IX in 1972."
