It would appear we have completely lost the ability to feel comfortable in the bathroom.[1] The Obama administration is now suing those who dare to take it upon themselves to decide who is allowed in the restrooms of their business.

From Young Conservatives:

It’s 100 percent official, folks. Progressives have moved beyond same sex marriage and have adopted the transgender bathroom fiasco as their new pet cause to shove down everyone’s throat.

Apparently the Obama administration sued a business for not letting a dude who recently decided he was going to become a woman not use the women’s restroom.

I’m ready to get off this planet.

From Daily Caller[3]:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued a private business for sex discrimination and harassment after a male employee — who announced he was switching genders to become a woman — was barred from using the women’s restroom and was referred to with male pronouns by his coworkers.

Deluxe Financial Services, a Minnesota-based company[4] that helps small businesses with marketing, denied that it violated any anti-discrimination laws but agreed to settle the case for $115,000 in order to avoid further costs of litigation, according to the settlement agreement[5].

The male employee, who now goes by the name Britney Austin, publicly presented himself as male when he was hired by Deluxe Financial but later opted to begin identifying as a woman.

According to a press release from last summer — when the EEOC filed[6] the lawsuit — Austin’s coworkers subjected him to a “hostile work environment,” such as “intentionally using the wrong gender pronouns to refer to [him].”

In response, Austin hired lawyer Jillian T. Weiss, whose law practice[7] specializes in suing people for allegedly discriminating against transgenders, to team up with the EEOC against Deluxe Financial, seeking unspecified monetary damages.

The two parties arrived at a settlement in January 2016, requiring the company to shell out $115,000 to Austin and his attorneys within five days of the agreement.

Sometimes the only proper response to these kinds of things is to shake your head.
