      ... but the reality of what's happening on the ground here matters. Especially early in an administration where there is lots of chaos.

      On the legal side, technically speaking, the only thing that changed is the federal government isn't taking sides any longer on the issue.

      That matters — the Obama admin had backed Gavin Grimm at the Fourth Circuit — but it isn't the law itself.

      The guidance — due to a district court injunction — already was on hold in most places and ways, too, so that's not changed.

      What about GG? That ~is~ a good question, and I think people of good will, as they say, will reach different conclusions about that.

      In one sense, the case can still be decided, on the underlying question of whether Title IX's sex discrim ban bars anti-trans discrim.

      But, that question was not the basis for the Fourth Circuit's ruling, so the Supreme Court also could, sooner or later, send the case back.

      For Gavin Grimm specifically, therefore, this move could have the effect of dragging out his case beyond his high school graduation.

      And, finally, there is the ~message~ effect: The recollection of AG Lynch’s strong statement of support for trans people’s legal protection.

      That certainly has changed & could make a difference to school districts (in states w/o other protections) who were undecided on the issue.

      I know people don't get my thinking on DeVos, but it was either DeVos, as reported repeatedly, or the White House that pulled back Sessions.

          We don't know for certain. But someone did, multiple reports say it was DeVos, and that makes sense in light of all I've heard and know.

          Thank you for your clarity. I hope it helps people feel a wee bit calmer, not that it doesn't still suck.

          I understand your thinking on DeVos especially based on the earlier reports etc.
