| Department Of Education: We're Done Being Involved With Transgender Students And Bathrooms |
| 2018-02-14 |
| [DAILYWIRE] The Department of Education has decided it will not investigate or interfere if transgender students complain they are barred from bathrooms that match their chosen gender, according to Buzzfeed News. On Thursday, Buzzfeed asked Liz Hill, a spokesperson for the Department of Education, if restroom complaints from transgender students are not covered by a 1972 federal civil rights law called Title IX. Hill answered, "Yes, that’s what the law says," adding on Friday, "Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, not gender identity." Hill made it clear that some complaints by transgender students will indeed be investigated, but bathroom complaints will not be among them. She stated, "Where students, including transgender students, are penalized or harassed for failing to conform to sex-based stereotypes, that is sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX. In the case of bathrooms, however, long-standing regulations provide that separating facilities on the basis of sex is not a form of discrimination prohibited by Title IX." |

| #7 Maybe we'd be better off if the Dept. Of Education just didn't exist. What have they done over the years? |

| #6 I look forward to the day some pharmaceutical stumbles on a cure for Gender dysphoria That’ll get anxiety in most of its forms, no doubt, including anorexia, bulimia, and possibly OCD and PTSD. Those with gender dysphoria as a rule have a number of the other expressions of anxiety as well, on top of depression. It is highly likely that any medication that acts on GD will be developed and tested for other anxiety problems — because the populations available for clinical testing are so much larger, the impact on GD only being realized when that tiny subpopulation gradually stops playing at being something they’re not. Much like it was finally noticed after many decades that severely depressed people who took scopolamine for motion sickness inexplicably stopped being depressed for weeks before reverting. |
