Are the trans kids allowed to sue for same? If they don't feel safe with the tiny cis-bigots, can they sue for a bathroom(s) of their own?
Bigotry is not genetic, it is learned. I question the morality of their parents, their community leaders, to a lesser extent their teachers, and to a larger extent their school admin and school board.
- I guess South Park called that.

  I wish 15 year old me had a gay bathroom. Would have saved so much terror getting beat up for existing.
"allowed to sue" just means they can try it - doesn't mean they've actually got a shot. Let's see what their case looks like...
“Petitioner is a practicing Catholic who believes that God created each person as male or female, that the complementary sexes reflect the image of God, that sex cannot be altered, and that rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God in that person,” the lawsuit reads.
Not gonna say it won't work, cuz our courts are dumb as shit sometimes, but she's literally asking a judge to enforce her religion on another student. That's unconstitutional as fuck.
- That last line is hilariously irrelevant.
  No one gives a fuck if your god is offended except you!
  
  This is America. Don't be so sure.
- Like that's been stopping anyone
- Petitioner is a practicing bigot who wants to abuse secular courts to force everyone to follow the rules set out in their favorite fan fiction.
  Any judge siding with petitioner would be in violation of their oath to uphold the constitution and as such should be immediately impeached, disrobed* and disbarred.
  *no, not in that way, ya perv! 😛
Why do you care who shits in the stall next to you?
The only reason I care about another person being in the bathroom with me is that they sometimes think it's okay to talk to me in there. It is not.
- Because boys/mens rooms dont get just stalls, they have to stand side by side and pee in a trough sometimes, privacy is forbidden
  IMO just make all bathrooms gender neutral and put stalls in all mens rooms
  
  Have you ever looked down to see what the person next to you is peeing with? I haven’t, nor do I know why I should care. I’m pissing next to them, not fucking them.
Who goes in the toilet, realizes their trans classmate is in there, and think: "Hmmm. I think I should sue them" other than a bully lol.
I'm more about equality, I'd like to avoid sharing restrooms with anyone.
Cisgender students in VA given the green light to be real fucking snowflakes in the flesh.
Snowflakes.
Who you share the restroom with is less of a problem than the fact you have to share in the first place
- Is sharing it a problem? I didn't realize there was any sort of issue with the existence of public restrooms.
- Yeah that'll end bullying. /s
What the fuck… disgusting
