      Those are 3 developments — developments that show this has been going on for some time — that are essential to understanding all of this.

      The NYT story also negates the Houston HERO vote to an afterthought, which is another sign that shows this was a poorly informed story.

      Of course, @dominicholden and I have been covering all of this, with me covering the EEOC and Arcadia and Dom covering Houston and Grimm.

      The NYT story is, essentially, a story about a WH meeting. It's a Valerie Jarrett-Chad Griffin story, which explains why it is what it is.

      And these are just the FACTUAL issues that I have with this story. Here's @dominicholden's follow-up from Houston:https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/hrc-bathroom-strategy …

      The whole framing of the NYT story is missing the entire point of what's been going on here. Why focus on a student in Illinois?

      And, to be clear, the point of discussing Arcadia is that is an Ed/DOJ starting point. They continued from there:https://www.buzzfeed.com/tonymerevick/education-department-federal-law-protects-transgender-studen?utm_term=.bxwKb1ZGeV#.krkeVR7My2 …

      Seriously, if you care to understand what's going on here, read that whole section of the amicus, pages 9-14: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2490122/grimm-4th-circuit-doj.pdf …

          I've been reporting on this since that Macy decision discussed on p.12, so, 4+ years later, it's frustrating to read a story like today's.

          Also: The print hed apparently is: "New Front Line in Culture War: the Bathroom." Or, read this from @__keating:https://www.buzzfeed.com/shannonkeating/gender-segregated-bathrooms-have-a-long-ugly-history?utm_term=.rlO810op#.lga9Zq1E …
