A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against an Oregon school district’s policy that allows transgender students to use locker rooms and bathrooms of the gender they identify with instead of their birth sex.
Some parents and students at a high school in Dallas, Oregon, said in the lawsuit that the policy caused “embarrassment, humiliation, anxiety, intimidation, fear, apprehension, and stress produced by using the restroom with students of the opposite sex.”
In his 56-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Marco Hernandez said “high school students do not have a fundamental privacy right to not share school restrooms, lockers, and showers with transgender students whose biological sex is different than theirs.“
Really? Since when did American high school students lose their privacy rights? When did the Fourth Amendment get repealed?
When human beings engage in certain intimate activities (getting naked to shower, for instance), there used to be an expectation of privacy — as in, not having biological girls and boys in the same locker rooms.
There’s more:
The lawsuit was triggered by the Dallas School District’s decision to allow student Elliot Yoder, a transgender boy, to use boys’ facilities. The school has a gender-neutral bathroom that Yoder used for changing before gym, and he asked to use the boys’ facilities because it was two floors from the locker room. Other students noticed when he left to change.
Brook Shelley of Basic Rights Oregon said Tuesday’s ruling sends a clear message to school districts that transgender students deserve as safe and affirming an education as every other student.
What about the vast majority of students? Don’t they deserve the same thing? Because when you grant special rights to some, you necessarily take them away from others.
This is lunacy on steroids.
We can only hope POTUS Trump continues to appoint sensible people to federal judgeships around the country.

Parents - move before it’s too late for your kids — that’s your only option in these Socialist states. Make your move to a state you have done your due diligence carefully on. We did and life is as good as it gets.
A person who has a penis is male. A person who doesn’t have one is female. I guess that’s too hard to understand for many of those subjected to teacher-union controlled education.
not always the case. what about a castrated male?
Castrated males still have a penis.
Paranoid Schizophrenia: I know a lot about this. My mother suffered from it her whole life until she passed away. The mentality of the Left also shares marked similarities. They have irrational, delusional beliefs. Despite evidence, facts, truth or common sense, the Left is blind and prefers the delusion instead. No amount of talk, debate or discussion will convince them otherwise. They become hostile if you disagree with them. I know. I tried to convince my mother through logical analysis that her delusions weren’t real. It never worked. The result was acid hostility. Eventually, I gave up. The insanity of the Dems (a.k.a. Left) will spill into our lives if they achieve political power. Please vote Republican. End this perilous journey to a dystopian future where we become victims of their irrational thinking. They will never listen to us. Democracy is a joke to them. Together, we can win.
How does this pseudo ‘boy’ participate if the boys decide to have a size contest? Won’t that put herhim in an unfair situation … won’t even qualify for a Certificate of Participation!
Woe be it that life is so unfair!
This is really a non-problem if the boys have any testes. Simply don’t dress out. It’s called a strike in some circles. What’s the judge going to do, hold them in contempt and jail them? If I were their parents I’d find a different school for my children to attend. Either that or home school them myself. Now of course the boys will want to ogle her who who but that’s just juvenile curiosity. I expect a judge from Oregon to rule this way. After all, Oregon is mostly filled with bat crap crazy liberals anyway.
Sure beats smoking in the boys room.
Mark my words, there will be some sort of claims of harassment or harm filed by the trans kid after using the boys’ locker room and shower facility. A bunch of boys will make some sort of joke, not even pointed at the trans, and it will be all offended and run off to get them in trouble. If I was a parent who had kids going to school there, and I had any option, I would get my kid(s) out of that place before their lives get ruined by one troublemaker.

School boards can be removed, do something.
There is no such thing as “transgender”. Gender cannot be transcended. At best, all you have is a facsimile of a female. It’s the same as painting an orange red and calling it a cherry. It’s not a cherry, never will be a cherry, and no amount of wishing, praying, hoping, propagandizing, or legislating will make the orange a cherry. Males cannot become females, and it is a symptom of mass psychosis for a segment of any population to believe otherwise. Period.
I’m a man trapped in a woman’s body thinking I’m a woman trapped in a man’s body trying to be a woman in a mans body….oh wait is today Wednesday, well then I’m really a…..
The real boys should just use the transgender room to change. Changing in the same room as the transgender will get them in trouble sooner or later because “boys” will be “boys” and the transgender will be offended. Let’s see the judge deny the “boys” access to the transgender room…
