What does that matter? What they know is that they don't want a person with a penis changing and showering with their minor daughters, and vice versa.

And I question the legality of forcing minor children into this scenario. I do not understand why those who support this move by Obama do not see this huge glaring issue with this new policy.

Exactly. They clearly haven't thought it through. In most states, when that scenario occurs on school grounds and/or if the victim is a minor, it's FELONY indecent exposure. A sex crime. For which an offender must register as a child sex offender FOR LIFE.

What a mess.

ETA: Wonder what the policy will be in college dorms (e.g. room assignments)? Having a college aged daughter made me think of it.

Haha I'm reminded of the dire warnings of fire and brimstone if gay marriage was instituted.

I agree as we usually do. My point is transgender is a red herring for pediphiles. Transgender having been picking bathrooms forever with no problems.

There was a federal court ruling in 2015 on this regarding a public university in PA. Maybe it will help...

Quote:
"This case arises from Plaintiff Seamus Johnston’s allegations that Defendants discriminated against him based on his sex and his transgender status(1) by prohibiting him from using sex-segregated locker rooms and restrooms that were designated for men. Although the parties have submitted lengthy briefs and have advanced numerous arguments, this case presents one central question: whether a university, receiving federal funds, engages in unlawful discrimination, in violation of the United States Constitution and federal and state statutes, when it prohibits a transgender male student from using sex-segregated restrooms and locker rooms designated for men on a university campus. The simple answer is no."

(1) Plaintiff was born a female but identifies as a transgender male."

Regardless of which side you're on for this issue, since when does Obama get to make laws or control who gets federal funding? That's Congress' job not his.

Public schools are like crack addicts, hooked on federal funding. They don't know how to function without it. That's the bigger problem that needs to change.
