![]() ![]() Must they be fully “transgendered” just as fetus must be “born” to enjoy these protections? If one is “transgendering” does this mean they are not afforded constitutional protections like an unborn fetus is not protected. This ruling would very much like what it means “when life begins”. In doing so, they must also define what it means to be “Transgender.” I feel certain that the courts, probably SCOTUS, will ultimately rule on the Constitutionality of legal transgender access to the bath and changing facilities of their choice/preference in public venues such as businesses and our public schools.
