OKLAHOMA CITY Civil rights groups filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of three transgender Oklahoma schoolchildren, arguing the state s new law requiring students use only the bathroom of the sex listed on their birth certificate is unconstitutional.
transgender students ability to use restroom you know, carley, i remember several years ago when this came out, it was the target story, where they were getting up in arms about transgender people, that is where it originated and started and i think there will be lawsuits and back and forth on this. not quite sure what will have to happen to make it inclusive for everyone. carley: i remember the nba got involved with the all-star game or one of the big basketball games in north carolina over the transgender bathroom law. you were going to talk to todd about today is 50th anniversary of title ix to make women s sports more fair and now this issue of transgender in women s
influences the rhetoric we saw in lawmakers trying to push for trans folks to not be able to use public accommodations or trans students to not be able to go after their passions in sports. so it s all connected and we ve got to tack it trans phobia every step of the way. i agree. he spoke out against the bathroom law in north carolina, which was utterly ridiculous and stupid. i think you re in a unique position to ask this, but michael, what about the point that dave chappelle was making? i think it somewhat ignored the intersectionality of black and transgender people, but he made the point, that look, you can shoot a black person and you are not canceled over that, but when you say something about the lgbt community, you are. he used a baby as an example. a friend made the point that one, that was offensive. he could have talk about he he wasn t canceled over that.
