Texas (AP) — A federal judge in Texas has temporarily blocked an Obama administration directive on bathroom rights for transgender students in U.S. public schools.

U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth issued the preliminary injunction Sunday.

Texas and 12 other states asked O'Connor to halt the directive after the federal government told U.S. public schools in May that transgender students must be allowed to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their chosen gender identity.

That announcement came days after the Justice Department sued North Carolina over a state law that requires people to use public bathrooms that correspond with the gender on their birth certificates. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch had likened that law to policies of racial segregation.

Republicans have argued such laws are commonsense privacy safeguards.

Hopefully, Obama will remove the Texas's federal funding. Texas didn't want federal money to help expand Medicaid when the federal government was going to pick up 90% (95%?), of the cost for them. Nor did they do what was needed to get their citizens good priced health plans with the marketplace. I guess they don't care about the education of their students, just like they don't care about the health of their poor.

They certainly aren't stopping trans men, it is masculine looking females that get the harassment. Their expectation is that FTMs would look like masculine females or as "inbetween" genders. They would never expect that the guy with the full beard who uses the men's room is the one that has a birth certificate that says female on it.

Idiots.
