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.
When you ban trans women from women’s bathrooms you’re opening them to trans men and all a cis man has to do is say “no worries, I’m a trans man, don’t mind the beard.”
You make it EASIER for men to infiltrate women’s bathrooms.
It is comically easy to enter a woman’s restroom. There is often not even a door in the way. If a man wants to walk in, the only thing keeping him out is peer pressure from the women inside.
What I’ve seen from the trans-panic isn’t women somehow better policing their restrooms from men. What I’ve seen is women trying to clock other women, and harassing - even to the point of physical assault - anyone who doesn’t “look womanly” enough for their tastes.
Case in point, a video of a woman being dragged out of a restroom by police because she was dressed too boyishly.
Here’s another case of a woman who was “clocked” and harassed while using the restroom in a Danbury, NC Walmart. Her pixie cut and baseball cap was enough to provoke another patron into going apeshit.
