California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a controversial bill into law Monday afternoon allowing the state’s transgender public school students to choose which bathrooms they use and whether they participate in boy or girl sports.
The law would cover the state’s 6.2 million elementary and high school kids in public schools.
Supporters say the law will help cut down on bullying against transgender students, The families of transgender students have been waging local battles with school districts around the country over what restrooms and locker rooms their children can use.
"Now, every transgender student in California will be able to get up in the morning knowing that when they go to school as their authentic self they will have the same fair chance at success as their classmates,” Masen Davis, Executive Director of Transgender Law Center said.
While California is the first state to pass a law of this magnitude, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington and Colorado have all adopted policies designed to protect transgendered pupils.
Not everyone is on board.
Opponents of the bill say allowing students of one gender to use facilities intended for the other could invade the other students' privacy.
Randy Thomasson, of savecalifornia.com, says the law would “damage” kids.
"This radical bill warps the gender expectations of children by forcing all California public schools to permit biological boys in girls restrooms, showers, clubs and on girls sports teams and biological girls in boys restrooms, showers, clubs and sports teams," Thomasson said. "This is insanity."
The California bill, which was backed by a coalition of organizations including Transgender Law Center, Gay-Straight Alliance Network, Gender Spectrum, Equality California, ACLU of California, National Center for Lesbian Rights and statewide teacher and parent organizations.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Yeah, thems transgender kids have have been invading privacy and causing way too much trouble to way too long.

It's good that we have Fox to properly fertilize the issue so proper thought can grow . . . .

And we sink further into the abyss...........

You want to deny social engineering and moral corruption go ahead.

Why am I not shocked that once again Brewha is "party line".

Which leads me to this boards obsession with transgender and gay issues. thou protests too much me thinks..... (to quote yoda or some other smart muppet like creature)

sounds like Bert & Ernie...

no way man.... I know you have a thing for her so don't ever call me that...

Actually sir, I think Pepperment Patty sort of fits ...

Peppermint Patty is noted for her persistent habit of profoundly misunderstanding basic concepts and ideas that most people would consider obvious, then blindly ignoring any console against her latest fixation, which leads to ultimately embarrassing situations. For a long time she seemed unaware that Snoopy was a dog, referring to him as "the funny looking kid with the big nose." This was a recurrent gag in the strip until an incident (featured in a series of strips from March 1974) in which Patty declared she was through with school and planned to spend the rest of her days staying in "Chuck's guest cottage" (Snoopy's dog house). By the end of this particular story arc, Marcie, in a fit of exasperation, angrily informed Peppermint Patty exactly what the "funny looking kid with the big nose" actually was, which left Patty in stunned shock for several strips. In a later phone call to Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty finally accepted the truth: "Let's just say my pride had the flu, okay, Chuck?"

Just because you had to go through that doesn't mean the children should have to continue that way

you don't actually chop it off.... you slice it lengthwise remove the meat then sew it up push it in and make a nice little pouch out of it.

No

Teedubbya I for one appreciate your effort today, and also those stitches are irritating......when are they getting pulled?

Stitches?

That's not a thread...

I like Greek Yogurt

Greek army's motto:
Never leave your buddies behind.

could have been gyro sauce...

τυπικό... teedubya θέλει όλα το γυροσκόπιο που μπορεί να χειριστεί, αλλά δεν δεν θέλει τη σάλτσα γιαουρτιού.

I wish that State would just quietly slip into the Pacific one evening while we were all asleep.....
