Julia Roberts Calls For Gender-Neutral School Bathrooms

It appears that Julia Roberts wants schools to have gender-neutral bathrooms. It is unclear if those bathrooms should be private or public to the point of biological males urinating alongside biological females.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the "Pretty Woman" star shared a photo of herself posing in front of a "gender-neutral" bathroom — not a unisex bathroom, mind you; the kind that includes both the male and female symbol alongside a half male/half female symbol.

"I wish they all said this," Roberts said in her post before asking people to check her Instagram story. Actress Rita Wilson, wife of Tom Hanks, expressed her approval.

In her Instagram story video, Roberts invited her followers to donate to the organization, GLSEN, which, according to HuffPost, is "a national education organization that works to help LGBTQ children in K-12 schools."

"Hi everybody, I wanted to talk to you about an organization I feel really strongly about. It’s called GLSEN," Roberts said in the story video. "GLSEN makes schools safe for every student no matter your sexual orientation or gender identity, I’ve donated, I’m asking you to. Click that donation button, every dollar helps."

GLSEN claims it simply promotes anti-bullying of LGBTQ students, but it often goes into propaganda — specifically on the subjects of gender pronouns and gender-neutral bathrooms. In a post explaining their position, GLSEN described traditional bathrooms as being harmful to transgender students in schools.

These bathrooms in schools also pose difficulty to transgender and gender nonconforming students. GLSEN research shows that nearly two thirds of transgender students avoid school bathrooms because of feeling unsafe or uncomfortable. They risk verbal and physical harassment, no matter which of the two, sex-segregated bathrooms they enter.

Also, over half of transgender students report that they were required to use the bathroom of their legal sex rather than the one that they feel most comfortable using. The U.S. Department of Justice has deemed this requirement illegal under Title IX.

Feeling unsafe, uncomfortable, and at risk of illegal disciplinary action, these students might “hold it” or restrict intake of fluids, risking pain and dehydration. Some of these students even leave school altogether. These outcomes are not positive in any way, for any one.

The solution here is not a new or radical concept: all schools should have private, gender-neutral bathrooms for any students to use, in the same, normal way that homes have bathrooms for guests to use and many restaurants have bathrooms that are not labeled for the sexes. This is not to suggest, however, that there be a separate bathroom for transgender students, like presidential candidate Ben Carson recently proposed, because separate is never equal.

Julia Roberts has promoted GLSEN before. According to PEOPLE, while presenting the Visionary Award at the 2016 GLSEN Respect Awards, Roberts had fans donate $49 to GLSEN in honor of her 49th birthday,

"It is my pleasure every year to support GLSEN," she said. "I love this night. I told the kids backstage ... that this is like my third favorite night of the year — and one and two, but don’t tell anyone."

"But one of the three nights might be my birthday, which is next Friday," Roberts continued. "If you wake up next Friday and think, 'What should I get Julia for her birthday?,' then donate to GLSEN. I’m going to be 49, so a $49 donation would be great. Thank you."

Transgender Powerlifter Sets World Record As Olympian Cries Foul

Gregory thanked the Raw Powerlifting Federation, saying that as a transgender lifter, the athlete was not sure of what to expect going into the event, but was stunned at how everyone - spotters, loaders, referees, staff, meet director, and everyone else - made 'her' feel welcome, treating her just like any other female lifter.

On Sunday, transgender powerlifter Mary Gregory bragged of winning ‘nine out of nine’ events at the Raw Powerlifting Federation Event, also setting new world records for Masters Squat, Open bench, Masters dead lift and Masters total.

Gregory, a biological man who identifies as a woman, took to Instagram, posting: "What a day, 9 for 9! Masters world squat record, open world bench record, masters world record, and masters world total record!"

They should begin having "events" for the LBGTQWERTY types exclusively and let DNA determine who can compete in men's and women's events. Enough of this bullshit.

Roberts is all for it for the commoners. However, those are bathrooms she wouldn't personally use. It is not unlike where people such as Roberts is all for supporting the homeless. That is, except when they camp out in their neighborhood and in their front yard.

Seems she has reached the age where casting directors no longer call or even return her calls,so she is trying to pull the "Cher Card".

The home crowd in the entertainment industry kept Cher's career alive decades after someone should have thrown dirt on it.

They also kept Kathy Griffin awash in 100 dollar bills,and she never had any talent to start with.

It can't be fun to be an attention whore that can't get any attention.

I've noticed, trust me, I've noticed.

I'm hoping that if, and when, the pendulum ever swings back to nominal, that this period in history is looked upon as favorably as is Hitler and Nazi Germany.
