51 families didn't reach high enough in transgender lawsuit

Fifty-one families in Palatine School District 211 have filed one of the most bizarre lawsuits in Illinois history. These families, represented by anti-LGBT non-profits Alliance Defending Freedom and the Thomas More Society, are trying to overturn the district's agreement with the Department of Education to allow a transgender girl to use the girls locker room. She has already been accepted by her classmates as a girl, uses the girls' restrooms and even competes on girls' sports teams. But when the district agreed with the Department of Education that this girl must have access to the girls'  locker room as well, the Finicky 51 reached out for legal help from two groups in disarray from seeing all their work opposing gay marriage end in failure. Preventing transgenders from changing in the locker room of their sex has become the new battleground in their anti LGBT wars, along with allowing anti gay businesses to refuse serving their gay brothers and sisters. 

The folly and shame of their lawsuit is their refusal to accept that the young lady they wish to banish to the boys locker room is in fact female. The tide of human and social progress will never turn back the strides achieved in granting transgenders the identity, dignity and place in society they so richly deserve. Yet, the lawsuit brands the District 211 transgender a boy with this cruel and heartless description:

“Protecting students from inappropriate exposure to the opposite sex is not only perfectly legal, it’s a school district’s duty. Allowing boys into girls’ locker rooms, a setting where girls are often partially or fully unclothed, is a blatant violation of student privacy."

Like parents who sued to prevent their lily-white kids from sitting in the same school room with blacks, the Finicky 51's anti-transgender lawsuit will fail. What they don't realize is that the God they likely all believe in sometimes makes mistakes. With district Student A, like the thousands of other transgenders who are finally coming out of the shadows to gain a fulfilling life, He simply assigned the wrong genitals at birth, a situation that modern medicine can correct. The Finicky 51 would save our vastly overworked legal system a lot of time and trouble if they would simply withdraw their lawsuit against District 211 and the Departments of Education and Justice, and re-file it with The Man Upstairs.
