ACLU: As a Matter of Science, Biologically Male Transgender is ‘A Girl Through and Through’
CNS ^ | November 5, 2015 | Sam Dorman

An American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawyer representing a biologically male transgender student in Illinois says that his client should be allowed to shower in the girls’ locker room because "as a matter of science," he is “a girl through and through”.

Although the Palatine-Schaumberg Township High School District 211 allows transgender students to use locker rooms of the gender they identify with, it requires them to use private shower stalls or changing areas so as not to appear naked in the company of the opposite sex.

The student filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR), which ordered the school district to provide the transgender teen with full access to the girls' locker room or risk the loss of federal Title IX funding, which bans sex discrimination.

In a statement, the district said that it will “continue to provide private accommodations for transgender students to ensure a respectful school environment, and will not allow unrestricted access to its locker rooms as directed by OCR. The goal of the District in this matter is to protect the privacy rights of all students when changing clothes or showering before or after physical education and after-school activities.”

The school district’s superintendent, Dr. Daniel Cates, told Fox News host Megyn Kelly Tuesday night that he had received complaints from parents and female students who were concerned that their privacy was being violated by having biological members of the opposite sex in the locker room while they were changing.

But in a recent blog post, John Knight, LGBT director for the ACLU of Illinois, argues that Cates’ claim that his client is biologically male is offensive and scientifically inaccurate.

“Most damaging,” he writes, “the superintendent asserts that a girl who is transgender has a ‘male body’ and that transgender students are ‘of the opposite sex’ when defending the District’s position.

“Such assertions are wrong as a matter of science and offensive because they serve to challenge and undermine the very core of a person’s identity. A transgender girl is female. She is a girl through and through – not something in between as the District suggests.

“And although unnecessary to make a transgender person ‘really female’ or ‘really male,’ many transgender young people, including my client, have undergone medical interventions to conform their body to their gender.”

Really! What about his Y chromosome and his prostate gland?

Not to mention the little matter of the uterus, Fallopian tubes, and so on.

What’s “his” chromosome count. He’s a male ... he just “wishes” he was a woman ... big difference ... sort of like “hope and change” isn’t it?

When I want science, I contact the ACLU.

That’s what used to happen. Idiots, psychos, and perverts used to get slapped down, both rhetorically and sometimes physically, to prevent their poisons from infecting society. Nowadays, with our modern generations’ mania for pajama-boy non-judgmentalism, we’ve devolved as a nation to the point that such patently demented ideas are accepted, embraced and cultivated, leading us further and further down the path to insanity.

It’s the “through and through” part that kills me. It’s just such an ignorant statement.

If anyone is thinking of becoming a lawyer, this is a good test. You have to be able to make the above statement with a straight face, in public, and stake your reputation on it. Then, and only then, do you know for sure that you can be a lawyer. Law school, and especially knowledge of the law, is entirely optional.

“As a matter of science...” ya’say?

Seems your scientific method may need a bit of tweaking. There’s that dangle, and those chromosomes; and, likely at some point, facial hair.
That facial hear thing might be closest to female this dude will get, if my aunt Jenny is any indication...

...biologically male...

..."as a matter of science," he is a girl through and through

And to think, all my life I've thought Biology was a Science!

Lawyer/NLP trick. State the most absurd and offensive part of your argument loudly and defiantly, and the weak listener's mind will go into acceptance mode, because of the intense level of cognitive dissonance created by your assertion of the impossible and revolting.

A healthy mind, on the other hand, respond with scorn and rejection. Which is exactly why liberals are taught not to be "negative" - so they can never have a healthy response to leftist insanity.

If a leftist declares something, no matter how outrageously false, it must be considered as truth. Global warming, males are females, the world does not need oil for anything, the United States Constitution declares women have a right to an abortion at any time - all true because they say so.

Some people just need the tar beat out of them.

His chromosome count is probably 46. It’s the same for all humans, male and female.

If I was their daddy, I would. But I'd hate to admit the association.

Same sciencetology they use to justify global warming.
