Back on Bathrooms

     A sad announcement came from the White House revoking the earlier Obama administration ruling to let transgendered children choose the bathroom that matches with their gender identity. The rationale behind the decision in the first place was to secure a place for transgender children to use the restroom comfortably, without discrimination. The Obama administration ruled this by supporting their decision with Title IX rationale of not discriminating based on sex. And to many, this made sense.

The opposing argument is that an individual could mascarada as the opposite gender to infiltrate the opposite bathroom to possibly harm another. 

I guess that makes sense, but this is not Ms. Doubtfire. That is not really happening in schools because .7% of the population identifies as transgender so having a whole bunch of dudes in wigs saying that want to be called Sandra now will raise alarms. 

What's sad is that this doesn't even make sense to repeal. Why? Why was this done? What harm was it actively providing? Were there complaints? 

This was obviously just a ploy to please the platform. For the first time in my politically aware life, I'm under a republican administration and it's annoying.
