Comment on Supreme Court stays out of fight over transgender student bathroom access
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 8 months agoFrom the article.
At issue was whether either the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which says that the laws apply equally to everyone, or Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, protects transgender students in that context. The court’s decision not to intervene means that litigation in lower courts nationwide will continue, with judges reaching differing conclusions. The Supreme Court is likely to weigh in on the issue at some point.
Only SCOTUS can clarify.

Which part is unclear? Within the given context what about the 14th amendment and Title IX conflicts?
You can not discriminate on the basis of sex, AND be indiscriminate equally to everyone, so what’s the problem?

Gender and sex are not the same thing. Sounds like you agree with Indiana that biological men should use the male bathrooms since their sex is male.

I said not discriminate, and to not discriminate equally, so you must be jumping through mad hoops to get to that conclusion.

It isn’t illegal discrimination to keep males out of the female bathroom. It appears you don’t really understand the court case or the words sex or gender. Discriminate doesn’t mean what you think it means. It means to pick. As long as you don’t do it on a protected class, it’s legal. Sex is a protected class. Gender identify is not.
