Fantastic win today in the 11th circuit here in America[!fuck yeah].
Some TIF in Florida started using the boys bathroom in high school. Kids change clothes in the bathroom in this district and two boys complained about this girl.
This district bent over backwards to create a good plan on how to handle the LGBTQ kids. I mean they did their research. They decided that they were going to keep bathrooms segregated by biological sex as recorded when the child enrolled in the district. They do not allow children to change their documents like birth certificate after the initial enrollment for the child. To accommodate the 16 trans kids in the entire district they created single stall gender neutral bathrooms.
This girl was told she could use the girls room or the neutral bathrooms.
Cue REEEEEEEEEEEEING.
The district court said the school was in the wrong, they were violating title IX and the 14th amendment (I think).
The appeals court agreed, but the 11th district said fuck, y'all are so very retarded and here is why.
According to them title IX is all about biological sex, not gender identity. The opinion is worth reading, at least the main part of the opinion. I dipped out after that because that's the only part that's binding.
They even touch on the issue of sports and say that is allowed to be segregated by sex according to title IX.
This is a good, groundbreaking bit of precedent. It will likely be appealed to the Supreme Court. I won't venture a guess as to how likely they are to take it up. It's a current year culture war issue, so they might to put an end to the arguments.
We're winning frens! Little by little.
I wonder if Tony Reed and that Harvard Troon will comment on this, it's definitely a blow to them as it currently stands.

En Banc Eleventh Circuit Rejects Legal Challenge to School District's Bathroom Policy
Today the en banc U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit rejected a transgender student's statutory and constitutional challenge...

This quotes the important parts.
This decision contradicts a different troon bathroom decision in Virginia. Gavin Grimm in the 4th circuit.One can only hope that climbs the food chain (eventually) and cockblocks the Lia Thomas's of the world.![]()
Now we've got a circuit split so if someone appeals this or if it happens again, we're going to go to the Supreme Court. And that'll set a nationwide precedent.
Exciting times.
