The U.S. Supreme Court announced Tuesday that it will not take up a challenge to the Boyertown School District's policy of allowing transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond with their gender identity.
The justices rejected an appeal from students who argued that allowing transgender students to use the same facilities violated their right to privacy.The court's order leaves in a place

I think I'll start identifying as a MLB shortstop and sue every team that "hates" me for it.

The ACLU may be looking at this the wrong way, they usually do.
It seems to me that the court may be saying that this is an issue to be determined locally and that the nationwide determination of acceptance is the province of the local jurisdiction. This may have the opposite intended effect when localities pass legislation that this perversion will not be acceptable in their locality.
What will the ACLU do then?

I hope that #2 is right. The Supremes will not hear this. It does not mean that they have an opinion either way. Their decision sounds procedural.

OK girls, it's time you took back your bathrooms! Beat the crapp out of any boys wanting to come in there, claiming they want to identify as a girl!
Now, as far as the opposite goes, most boys probably won't protest girls (there are exceptions...) undressing in front of them..

We should not confront genderphobia as an issue that is merely threatening our privacy. It's much bigger than that.
As sad as I am to see SCOTUS reject this, I'm with #2. We, as a people need to get more involved in our culture and start being more aggressive in confronting this in a more serious fashion. These trans kids are suffering - it's really sad. They are not happy and they to be helped.

poster #4 has the correct response to this problem. Also, if a boy is in a girl's locker or shower room and shows the slightest sign of arousal, he's immediately ejected and arrested for voyerism.

Sure, let a bunch of hormone driven teenage boys into the girls bathroom. What could possibly go wrong?

Our SUPREME COURT (lol) is far more concerned protecting the "right' of sickos to have anal sex..Griswald v, Connecticut.
They could care less about our non -pervert kids.

While it's easy to sympathize with these girls, it's hard to sympathize with local residents who elect these perverse school board members and who will no doubt reelect them. It's even harder to sympathize with the Christian churches and pastors who are hiding under their desks, quaking in fear of the transgenders.

Not only is our society sick, our courts are also sick too.
Mental health is consuming our culture.
What's going to happen when a dad or big brother beats the crap out some pervert who's claiming to be finding his sexual/gender identity. Dad or big brother should say his identity is that of a protector (or sheep-dog as in The American Sniper.)

So, the Supreme Court discovered a right to privacy in the Constitution in Roe v Wade to make abortion legal, but they cannot find a right to privacy in the Constitution for these young women to keep boys out of their showers and locker rooms. Sad.

How much sicker can the demon-libnuts get?
Gender reassignment.
Homosexuality
Lesbianism
Choose your sexual identity and make society accept your warped thinking
kill infants any time, even after birth
Mentally ill perverts - they are
They demand society conform to their thinking --- OR ELSE

Row V. Wade is decided on an implied Constitutional Right to Privacy found scatter through multiple amendments. So the current SCOTUS can't find such an implied privacy.... Well, that's interesting.

#12 gets it. School boards have tremendous power over the school, the children, teachers and parents. They have the ability to raise taxes on a whim. It is much more important to select good people on these boards than friends, family and those popular in the community. The best way to elect school board members is to choose those that the administration and the teachers' union oppose.

I'm waiting for the day a flasher comes into the girls bathroom or locker for show and tell.

So in the penumbras of the Constitution, it is a privacy right to kill an unborn child. Right next to it, is the right for boys to be in the girls bathroom where there is no right to privacy. Seems legit.

The hidden hand of Chief Judas John Roberts is at play here, I suspect.

The way to solve this problem is to have a few of the larger, stronger women/girls
get a few rolls of nickels and explain in excruciating detail to the first guy-pretending-to-be-a-girl
that they don't like it. Say three on one, just to be certain. I am sure that they could explain
it clearly enough that he wouldn't try it again.

If the roll of nickels solution isn't of the taste of the women, then the
pepper spray solution may be a good alternative.

It appears that the Court declined to force the school board to reverse its decision to let trans boys suit up in the locker rooms with girls. Personally, I think that's a good decision by the Court. The decision allows elected lunatic school boards to make stupid decisions. If the people don't like it, vote out the school board.
How many troubled trans males will really want to invade the girls' locker room and be despised for doing so? I think most trans students and most school administrators will try to find a way to avoid the confrontations.
The point is, this should be a local decision, not a nationwide decision. Similarly, if the Court overturns Roe v. Wade, its decision will likely allow abortions in states where the legislatures choose to allow it; other states' legislatures may choose to outlaw abortions. Abortion may still be available, but it may be necessary to hop a plane or a Greyhound bus to go to a nearby state to get the abortion. Planned Parenthood can pay for needy women's travel, if they wish. This pap about abortion becoming completely unavailable nationwide and women forced into back alley abortions is baloney.
I'm all for individual state sovereignty to do what their people want for their own state.
