Court to School: Let Transgender Teen Use Boys Bathroom

By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER, ASSOCIATED PRESS RICHMOND, Va. — Jun 23, 2016, 4:47 PM ET

A federal district court has ordered a Virginia school board to allow a transgender teen to use the boys bathroom at his school.

U.S. District Court Judge Robert G. Doumar ruled Thursday that the Gloucester County School Board must allow Gavin Grimm to use the bathroom that matches his gender identity while the case is being litigated in court.

The order comes after the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in April that the school board discriminated against Grimm by forbidding him from using the boys restroom. The school board is planning to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the appeals court decision.

Grimm said in a statement Thursday that he's elated to be able to attend his senior year of high school with his "full rights restored."

1. Forgive me, I'm about to blow a gasket

Can everybody please get the F*CK out of the bathroom?

I remember someone once asked Dear Abby if it was wrong to use the handicapped stall if there was a line. She replied that if you have to go that bad, you have a handicap.

That is relevant because we go into the damn bathroom for business. It's not business we delight in - it is called "waste". We don't go in there to make friends, we go in there to drop friends off.

I doubt that there is a single female concert/sports event goer that has not peed in the men's room - they cleared it out for us.

Do you think I want to go in a public bathroom? No. The toilet paper sucks. Do you think I want to linger in a public bathroom? Don't even attempt to make eye contact with me.

I could give to shits (ha!) if Vladamir Putin is on one side, and Kim Jong whatever Ur is on the other. If I have to go, we are all in the same quandry.

Get over the fact that someone you disagree with might hear you tinkle.
