The New York Times had a sob story about a 16-year-old girl who is forced to use the girl's bathroom.  She cut her hair short like a boy and took a boy's name ("Gavin"), but still they won't let her into the boys' bathroom.  So, this being Obama's America, she is suing.

The Times thinks the reasons for barring a girl from the boy's bathroom are silly.

They discussed the transgender boy’s genitals, expressed concern that he might expose himself and cautioned that being in a men’s room would make the teenager vulnerable to rape

The Times doesn't think mixing naked men and women together would be a problem.

When Gavin, 16, got his turn at the podium, he was remarkably composed. “I didn’t ask to be this way,” Gavin said. “All I want to do is be a normal child and use the restroom in peace.”

So she says.  But she doesn't care about the "peace" of all the boys she would disrupt by her presence.

On Monday, Judge Robert Doumar of Federal District Court in Virginia is scheduled to consider whether the school board’s decision to prohibit Gavin from using the male restroom is unlawful discrimination.

Discrimination, that is, against a girl who wants to use a boy's bathroom.

Access to public restrooms has been a divisive issue in past civil rights struggles. During the 1950s, African-Americans challenged Jim Crow laws that barred them from so-called white restrooms.

For the Times, keeping girls out of boys' bathrooms equals Jim Crow.  Shouldn't blacks be insulted when their struggle is compared to a mentally sick girl pretending to be a boy?

Only a handful of cases have been brought in federal courts. In March, a District Court judge in Pennsylvania ruled against a student who was expelled from the University of Pittsburgh for using the men’s room, preposterously concluding that the student had no right to do so because he was admitted as a female.

The Times thinks it's "preposterous" to keep a girl out of a boy's bathroom, that it's "preposterous" to judge someone's gender by physical attributes rather than what the person says he or she feels like.  Who is radically out of touch here?

Some state legislators have eagerly entered the debate. A controversy at a Kentucky high school, which allowed a transgender girl to use the girls’ restroom, prompted a Republican lawmaker to introduce a bill earlier this year that would have forced people in the state to use public restrooms according with the gender on their birth certificates.

Lawmakers in Florida, Minnesota and Texas have introduced similar “bathroom bills"... None of those bills passed.

What would we do without determined Republicans to provide symbolic support?

Once again, the world is turned upside-down when the media insists that boys and girls can redefine themselves to suit their own comfort zones, and the rest of the world is expected to accommodate the disruption that results from it.
