Am I Missing the Point?



A Virginia school board has voted unanimously in favor of requiring students to use locker rooms and bathrooms matching their biological gender. The Grayson County School Board, in the southwestern part of the state, voted 5-0 last Friday to approve the bathroom ordinance, which is designed to prevent transgender students from using bathrooms they feel match their gender identities, if not their biological sex. The move comes despite a statement from the school’s superintendent, Kelly Wilmore, that there are currently no transgender students enrolled at the school.

The new Grayson County policy defines “sex” specifically as, “an individual’s immutable biological sex as objectively determined by anatomy and genetics existing at the time of birth” and states that “an individual’s original birth certificate may be relied upon as a definitive evidence of the individual’s sex.”

The U.S. departments of Justice and Education, which issued a directive earlier this month amid the federal government’s current legal battle over a controversial North Carolina law that aims to regulate where transgender people can go to the bathroom. Schools that fail to comply with the directive risk losing federal funding as well as a civil rights lawsuit.



Are we now going to have Restroom police? I must have missed the throngs of women wanting to try to hit a urinal ! Nor have I notice scores of men exiting the lady's can! I have used the Lady's restroom at a "gay friendly" bar we dance at on several occasions a night dressed in drag... I went to the stall shut the door.. squatted.. did my duty. pulled my pants up... checked my makeup then exited with NO Hassles from anyone. Quite honestly if some dyke wants to try to use a urinal in a guy's room I'd be most interested in viewing and photographing the outcome to post in here! Enough already with the petty immature "morality laws"

Our schools here are going through the same thing right now. A provincial law was passed forcing them to have adequate "gender neutral" bathrooms. It is causing quite a stir with some ignorant parents, but school boards and politicians support it.

I would think other school boards would have better things to worry about than who uses which restroom as well, however, those small minded religious zealots have their moral agendas that take precedent over financial considerations.

as someone that is transgender but because I'm the type of person that keeps my personal business just that. And I don't dress fem in public just to avoid any issues with idiots. I dress in jeans and bra panties and women's tees and shirts and I will use the men's room. But this issue only came about because politicians decided to go after a new enemy since gay marriage became legal. But i'm one of the few on this site that has a dog in this fight but I don't have the answers even though those of us adult trans people were using the bathroom corresponding with our identified gender way before they even thought of these laws.

These fucking idiots just keep choosing battles that they will loose..... Times are changing... My generation really doesn't give a fuck about abortion, gay rights, or which fucking bathroom someone uses... Better to use the god dam bathroom than crap or piss on the street.
