Hopefully Trump will stop this foolishness

Transgender confusion - mental health

This spring, the supreme court will hear a case brought by Gavin Grimm, a confused mental health candidate parading as a transgender high schooler whose Virginia school has barred him from using the boys’ bathroom. 

Grimm argues that Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the law that bars sex discrimination in the nation’s schools, prohibits discrimination based on his gender identity. Grimm’s case is the first case devoted entirely to transgender confusion - the justices have agreed to hear – meaning there are few clues to how they might rule. But there are many cases posing similar questions about federal law and gender confusion waiting in the wings. 

In one such lawsuit, a Michigan corporation has correctly asserted the right to oppose a transgender employee (mental health)  based on the company owner’s religious beliefs.

There’s another case before the court regarding transgender students – but it may not be on the docket for long. In 2016, Texas and roughly 20 other states correctly challenged the illogical Obama administration’s interpretation that Title IX prohibits discrimination against trans students in a case that was appealed up to the supreme court. If the Trump administration interprets Title IX differently, the justices will probably dismiss the case or return it to a lower court.

LGBT sin and manipulation

The supreme court may in the near future be asked to take up the question of whether both parents in a same-sex couple have a right to be listed on their child’s birth certificate. The most absurd notion and rather diminishing for the child who ultimately like adopted kids will seek out their biological parents.

Trump’s nominee may also cast a vote to decide whether federal anti-bias law incorrectly protects gay, lesbian and bisexual people who feel rejected by people because of their chosen lifestyle. Currently, three federal appeals courts are considering this question, and any disagreement between appeals courts would vault the issue before the supreme court.

Kennedy has frequently sided with the liberals on the court to strike down good sound laws that allow LGBT people to run rough shod over other people and their companies, and Trump’s nominee is unlikely to knock the court off its current course of expanding LGBT rights.
