The Supreme Court on Tuesday passed up a chance to intervene in the debate over bathrooms for transgender students, rejecting an appeal from an Indiana public school district.

Federal appeals courts are divided over whether school policies enforcing restrictions on which bathrooms transgender students can use violate federal law or the Constitution.

In the case the court rejected without comment, the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an order granting transgender boys access to the boys’ bathroom. The appeal came from the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) southwest of Indianapolis.

    There is a reason that bathrooms are separated by gender.

    And that is?

        There are urinals for women! They look kinda interesting. Not terribly common, but they are out there.

      The history of gendered bathrooms is no secret, if this is a good faith question, the answer is easily researched.

        If it’s so easy to find, then why don’t you tell me? Or can you not find it?

          I know it and can find it. Howeve, I also don’t believe it to be a good faith question, and this response further confirms that suspicion.
