"Schools can't prevent transgender students from using the restrooms that correspond with their gender identities without violating federal law, the Obama administration says.

The U.S. Department of Education and the Department of Justice made that argument in a friend-of-the-court brief submitted late Wednesday in support of a Virginia teenager who is suing for access to the boys' restrooms at his high school."

This will last exactly until Nov. 8, 2016, when a new president is going to be elected. Then it will be up to whoever gets elected based on their own personal views of trans people.

Food for thought for those crazies who are always saying politicians are all alike and it doesn't matter who gets elected.

He/She won't take office until Jan. 20, 2017. One reason I'm aiming for late 2016 for SRS.
