WASHINGTON - TelAve -- The Supreme Court just agreed to toss a lower court ruling in favor of a male inmate who identifies as a woman and, as a result of that claim, demands the right to be housed in a women's jail.

The high court cited two of its recent decisions, which undercut arguments by transgender advocates regarding sports and medicine, in vacating a ruling favoring the male inmate by the 10th Circuit.

But if his legal argument were valid, a white male could demand compensation under a court ruling requiring the defendant to make refunds to Black females, after ruling that this class of plaintiffs had been illegally discriminated against, simply by identifying as Black and female, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who has won over 100 cases illegal discrimination based upon sex and race.

Similarly a 12-year-old girl who was born in Germany could not be stopped from running for president if she identified as a native born 50-year-old male, and a 22-year-old male who identified as a 70-year-old women could compete in Senior Olympics women's track and field events, he argues.

"If the law supposes that, the law is a ass — a idiot," said Mr. Bumble in Dickens' Oliver Twist, after he is informed that the law legally holds a husband responsible for the actions of his domineering wife.

This is most certainly true here, says Banzhaf, of judges who suppose that a man becomes a woman, and by this simple act becomes entitled to all the legal protections accorded to women, simply by claiming to be female.
