On Monday the Maine Human Rights Commission may advise schools to allow transgender students to dress, play sports and choose bathrooms based on the gender they consider themselves to be, rather than the gender they were physically born.
Suffice it to say, it's a bit controversial.
The commission argues that the proposed "guidance" it will offer Maine schools on the subject is nothing more than its interpretation of the Maine Human Rights Act and does not force schools to enact or follow its "suggestions."
QuoteLast May the commission decided that a transgender woman was discriminated against at a Denny's restaurant in Auburn when management would not let her use the ladies room until she had sex reassignment surgery
How did the resturant know this woman had not yet had surgery?
Perhaps a state where DL needs surgery for gender marker?
Denny's has a HUGE reputation for being jerks. It's not just a TG deal there. Try 'eating while black' like some Secret Service guys did.
