Queer, trans, and cis people are all socialized from a very young age to make all of the same assumptions about themselves and others, and it's almost impossible not to internalize and project those assumptions on others to some extent, because of that, it makes sense that queer and transgender and gender non-conforming people worry about people reading us the wrong way, because of how the majority often incorrectly reads our gender, or makes other assumptions based on the way our bodies are perceived.

Maybe things have changed so that we should change Title IX, maybe those arguing in favor of this kind of transgender bathroom access are right. ... But it does seem to strain the text of the statute to say that Title IX demands it, so is that the kind of thing that Supreme Court should interpret the statute to update it to pick sides on this policy debate ? Or should we go to our Congress ?

Many trans people are always willing to educate people and answer questions about being trans as well, i understand that it can be hard to keep up with these changes, especially for people who grew up in a time or a place where being transgender was unheard of, but it's never too late to educate yourself on the subject and change your mistakes.

Weve seen it -- time and again.

We find it interesting and hypocritical that he (Barr) would invite us to this event commemorating a hate crime law named after our son and Mr. Byrd, while, at the same time, asking the Supreme Court to allow the legalized firing of transgender employees.

Mr. Barr, you cannot have it both ways. If you believe that employers should have the right to terminate transgender employees, just because they are transgender, then you believe they are lesser than and not worthy of protection. If so, you need not invite us to future events at the Department of Justice.
