The Supreme Court on Tuesday passed up a chance to intervene in the debate over bathrooms for transgender students, rejecting an appeal from an Indiana public school district.

Federal appeals courts are divided over whether school policies enforcing restrictions on which bathrooms transgender students can use violate federal law or the Constitution.

In the case the court rejected without comment, the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an order granting transgender boys access to the boys’ bathroom. The appeal came from the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) southwest of Indianapolis.

    Why would anyone care where people go the bathroom? Where do you think transsexuals have been going all these years? What nonsense.

      Hey! I appreciate your support, trans rights are human rights!

      In the future, could you please use transgender instead of transexual? The latter is a really dated term and ties a gender and societal issue to sexuality. While they may be closely associated, they’re not the same thing and any little bit helps break that association.

          You can also edit your comments, it would be preferred if you would change it so that you aren’t using what many of us consider a slur.

            While this is true, editing posts to avoid controversy is weird. They wrote what they wrote and noone can change that. Can’t unsay something, too. This also makes this conversation difficult to read for future passerbys.

        I think this is goofy. More than half my life I’ve heard the word transexual and I certainly don’t think it’s offensive.

          Because you are old. Also this is to help young people understand better. We will not convince the fossils.

          Retard used to be the nice word back in the day. Language evolves and people suck. It can be difficult to accept both.
