It’s back-to-school time across America and you know what that means: a fresh supply of stories about transgender students demanding special treatment—particularly when it comes to bathrooms and locker rooms.
The latest spat involves an expelled transgender student at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown who has filed a federal lawsuit claiming that the school violated her civil rights by preventing her from using men’s locker rooms and restrooms, reports the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
The student, Seamus Johnston, was born female but identifies as a male. Johnston has undergone several months of hormone treatment recently.
The lawsuit was filed Monday. The suit claims that the school violated federal anti-discrimination laws. Johnston is representing herself.
A Pitt spokesman told the Tribune-Review that the school plans to defend the legal challenge “vigorously.”
The events leading up to the lawsuit are nothing if not interesting.
Johnston was expelled from Pitt-Johnstown for repeatedly using the men’s locker room despite the school’s order that she not do so, explains the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Johnston, 22, and her partner, Katherine Anne McCloskey, 56, filmed an attempted (and failed) series of citizen’s arrests at the Pitt-Johnstown campus. McCloskey did the arresting. Johnston filmed the events. (The antics can be seen at the end of a collection of clips from WPXI on YouTube.)
“We believe that you are a female and that your campus ID indicates you are a female,” an unidentified staffer firmly explains after he was accosted by the couple. “Your application form indicates you are a female. You went into a men’s locker room. You are not permitted to do that.”
Later, the FBI focused on Johnston and McCloskey during an investigation of some bomb threats made at the main Pitt in Pittsburgh. The FBI questioned the couple in 2012. There was also a federal grand jury that threatened at times to dissolve into a circus.
In May, Johnston pleaded guilty to charges in county criminal court of trespassing and disorderly conduct related to the men’s locker room fracas. The sentence was 90-days probation.
The Post-Gazette notes that Johnston declared in a prior complaint with the Pittsburgh Commission on Human Relations that the Social Security Administration found her disabled “for a variety of emotional liabilities that included gender identity disorder.”
Can’t we find one place to send all these mentally disturbed people so they can all be offended together and leave the rest of us alone?
Because 22 year olds often seek out 56 year olds. Right, guys?
In MA and CA they let these students use the showers of the other sex, at the same time the law also made schools immune from lawsuits for student on student or teacher on student sex crimes.
Hormone treatment...So she grew OO and has to shave every day?
She’s 22...her partner is 56?? Talking about predators....
Good God...I just saw the picture.
“Wah, I wanna pee where the boys too.”
If the he-she doesn’t want to get her hair wet she could piss through a straw.”
Would there be a problem if I ran off to the authorities and said I was a dog-in-a-man’s body, and I wanted the freedom that dogs enjoy....mainly to crap and pee over the front of the school lawn?
Or, I’m a man-in-a-woman-in-a-man’s body, and I pretend to have several manly devices, several women’s devices, and mostly act goofy and confused for eight hours a day while in school.
Eventually, this game of pretend-to-be....just won’t work anymore. But I think we are several years away from that moment of self-discovery.
Egad.
Scientists say your hair never lies(Timbuk 3 - Hairstyles And Attitudes)
I've done lots of research
It may be just hype, but the latest findings cause me to tremble
Categorize us into three basic types
According to which of the Three Stooges you most closely resemble
Hairstyles and attitudes -- are they connected?
One nasty sicko...
So article at link says they are both “transgendered” ?
What a hot mess.
Exactly, why is the government accommodating this crap and why is the government trying to make everyone else join the mental patients in their pretend land?
I was born a lesbian locked in a man’s body.
I could tell because I desperately wanted to use the girl’s locker room in Junior High.
PUKE!!!!!!!!!!!
Just looking for “restitution”....
Modern science and medicine does not provide a process to achieve this.
The by-product of attempting to overcome ones natural birth gender assignment through surgery and drugs, is mutilation.
Anyone involved in facilitating the psychologically impaired individual seeking a change sex, should be guilty of a crime.
