9th Circuit Upholds Bathroom Ban, Says Trans Students Violate Cis People's Privacy
The ruling, the first of its kind, asserts that the rights of cisgender people to not have a transgender person in the same bathroom are more important than the equal protection of trans students.

Our Congressman LaHood (Illinois District 16) is unclear about who gets Social Security! Please call their office.
♿Social Security is NOT just for Seniors. It's also for people like me with Disabilities, people who receive Survivors Benefits & Veterans who receive Social Security benefits.
Before I became disabled, I PAID into the program with EVERY paycheck. There are MILLIONS more like me & it is OUR MONEY!♿
