The idiocy of ‘transgenderism’ strikes again:
Missouri school district on the hook for $4 million for not letting transgender student use desired restroom

A Missouri school district has been ordered to pay a former student $4 million after a jury ruled that the district discriminated against a transgender student by not allowing him to use the boys’ restroom.
A jury in Jackson County, Missouri ruled on Monday that Blue Springs School District discriminated against a transgender student by not letting him use the boys’ restroom or locker rooms at several schools, including the middle school and the Freshman Center.
In 2014, the family of RJ Appleberry, the student, filed a lawsuit against the Blue Springs School District after the district allegedly blocked him from using the boys’ bathroom and locker room, according to Fox 4 Kansas City.
The article states that the student transitioned from female to male at the age of nine years old.
According to the lawsuit, after amending his birth certificate in 2014, he was still denied access to the boys’ restrooms and locker rooms at several schools, including Delta Woods Middle School and the Freshman Center.
In total, the jury awarded $175,000 to the former student in compensatory damages in addition to $4 million in punitive damages, and the plaintiff has also requested that the school district cover the attorney fees as well.
A spokesperson for the Blue Springs School District said that they disagree with the verdict and will be “seeking appropriate relief from the trial court and court of appeals if necessary.”
There’s more at the original.
Miss Appleberry was a minor, when her parents and she filed the lawsuit, and the obvious question is: had Miss Appleberry had sexual mutilation procedures sex reassignment surgery performed at the time? Missouri has seen legislation which would make such illegal on minors, but it is not clear that such would have been prohibited when she began her ‘transition’ nine years ago. The question that no one seems willing to ask is: what are the dangers of allowing someone with female genitals into the bathrooms and locker rooms full of hormone-riddled real teenaged boys? We already know what happened when the Loudoun County public schools allowed a boy who sometimes wore a skirt to freely use the girls’ bathrooms. There is a risk of sexual assault!
The Blue Springs School District would have been equally liable if Miss Appleberry had been allowed to use the boys’ bathrooms and locker rooms if some real boy decided that the chance to see, and perhaps use, some female genitals in such settings. That such would have constituted rape on the part of the assailant would not relieve the school district of the liability of allowing such a set up to occur.
