Are the trans kids allowed to sue for same? If they don’t feel safe with the tiny cis-bigots, can they sue for a bathroom(s) of their own?

Bigotry is not genetic, it is learned. I question the morality of their parents, their community leaders, to a lesser extent their teachers, and to a larger extent their school admin and school board.

I wish 15 year old me had a gay bathroom. Would have saved so much terror getting beat up for existing.

Honestly, I’m so fucking disappointed we don’t just have larger mixed gender bathrooms. It would have made things so much more comfortable growing up.

“allowed to sue” just means they can try it - doesn’t mean they’ve actually got a shot. Let’s see what their case looks like…

“Petitioner is a practicing Catholic who believes that God created each person as male or female, that the complementary sexes reflect the image of God, that sex cannot be altered, and that rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God in that person,” the lawsuit reads.

Not gonna say it won’t work, cuz our courts are dumb as shit sometimes, but she’s literally asking a judge to enforce her religion on another student. That’s unconstitutional as fuck.

That last line is hilariously irrelevant.

No one gives a fuck if your god is offended except you!

Petitioner is a practicing bigot who wants to abuse secular courts to force everyone to follow the rules set out in their favorite fan fiction.

Any judge siding with petitioner would be in violation of their oath to uphold the constitution and as such should be immediately impeached, disrobed* and disbarred.

*no, not in that way, ya perv! 😛

Why do you care who shits in the stall next to you?

The only reason I care about another person being in the bathroom with me is that they sometimes think it’s okay to talk to me in there. It is not.

Because boys/mens rooms dont get just stalls, they have to stand side by side and pee in a trough sometimes, privacy is forbidden

IMO just make all bathrooms gender neutral and put stalls in all mens rooms

Have you ever looked down to see what the person next to you is peeing with? I haven’t, nor do I know why I should care. I’m pissing next to them, not fucking them.

People like that do exist. Maybe not me and you.

Who goes in the toilet, realizes their trans classmate is in there, and think: “Hmmm. I think I should sue them” other than a bully lol.

I’m more about equality, I’d like to avoid sharing restrooms with anyone.
