   A federal judge has denied a transgender teenager’s request to   
   allow him to use the same bathroom as his peers at his public   
   school in Virginia.   
      
   Instead, the judge ruled Friday, the teenager must continue   
   using a separate, private bathroom that he has said makes him   
   feel “singled out and humiliated.”   
      
   Gavin Grimm, a teenage boy who was born female, used the boys’   
   bathroom for seven weeks with no problem, according to the   
   American Civil Liberties Union, which brought a lawsuit against   
   the Gloucester County School Board on his behalf.   
      
   But then parents heard about the teen using the boys’ restroom   
   and complained. The school board passed a rule, 6 to 1, that   
   restricts the bathrooms to students of the “corresponding   
   biological genders.”   
      
   Grimm and the ACLU challenged the school board policy, and the   
   U.S. Justice Department weighed in in Grimm’s favor.   
      
   “Singling out transgender students and subjecting them to   
   differential treatment can also make them more vulnerable to   
   bullying and harassment, a problem that transgender students   
   already face,” the Justice Department wrote. “Allowing   
   transgender students to use the restrooms consistent with their   
   gender identity will help prevent stigma that results in   
   bullying and harassment and will ensure that the District   
   fosters a safe and supportive learning environment for all   
   students, a result that is unquestionably in the public   
   interest.”   
      
   But on Friday, Judge Robert G. Doumar of the Eastern District of   
   Virginia denied Grimm’s request for a preliminary injunction,   
   which would have allowed him to use the boys’ bathroom upon   
   returning to school.   
      
   “We are deeply disappointed with the court’s decision and will   
   appeal as quickly as possible to ensure that Gavin does not have   
   to endure this harmful and stigmatizing policy a single day more   
   than necessary,” ACLU attorney Joshua Block said in a statement.   
      
   In the ACLU statement, Grimm said: “It is difficult to face   
   another school year of being singled out and treated differently   
   from other students. I am determined to move forward because   
   this case is not just about me, but about all transgender   
   students in Virginia,”

   Wrong asshole.  Pretending to be what you are not does not   
   entitle you to be with those whom you think you emulate.   
      
   Your family should be exterminated from the face of the earth   
   for enabling you to be the fucked up mentally ill piece of shit   
   you are.
