This is getting out of hand, isn’t it?

The U.S. Department of Education has ordered suburban Chicago’s Township High School District 211 to permit a transgender woman (born male) “full use” of the girls’ locker room … or lose out on federal funding.

The ACLU brought the complaint on behalf of the student in 2013.

The district’s policy was to allow the student use of the locker room, as long as she showered and dressed in a private area. The feds said this is a no-no “because it subjected the student to stigma and different treatment.”
