ANY boy can justify being in the girls room whether trans or NOT.

And now you can't answer my question as to when did a boy claimed to be trans, was allowed to enter the girl's room, and subsequently raped a girl.
Safe and Nondiscriminatory Environment Schools have a responsibility to provide a safe and nondiscriminatory environment for all students, including transgender students. Harassment that targets a student based on gender identity, transgender status, or gender transition is harassment based on sex, and the Departments enforce Title IX accordingly.9 If sex-based harassment creates a hostile environment, the school must take prompt and effective steps to end the harassment, prevent its recurrence, and, as appropriate, remedy its effects. A school’s failure to treat students consistent with their gender identity may create or contribute to a hostile environment in violation of Title IX.

Rape is the most underreported crime in America. ...
In 1996, more than two-thirds of rape/sexual assaults committed in the nation remained unreported. ...
The fact that well over a million Americans of all ages are raped each year suggests that efforts to prevent rape have not been entirely successful. ...
Too few victims who sustain rape-related mental or physical health problems obtain effective treatment.
The National Survey of Adolescents (NSA), a National Institute of Justice funded study of national household probability sample of 4,023 adolescents age 12-17, found that 8.1% of U.S. adolescents had been victims of at least one sexual assault (Kilpatrick & Saunders, 1997; Kilpatrick, Acierno, Saunders, Resnick, Best, & Schnurr, 2000). This indicates that an estimated 1.8 million 12 to 17 year olds have been sexually assaulted.
More than 52 percent of all rape/sexual assault victims were females younger than 25. (Perkins, C. (1997, September). Age Patterns of Victims of Serious Crimes, NCJ-162031, p.1.Washington, DC: Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice.)
A study of nonincarcerated sex offenders conducted by Dr. Gene Abel and his colleagues found that 126 men admitted that they had raped. These 126 rapists had committed a total of 907 rapes involving 882 different victims. The average number of different victims per rapist was seven (Abel et al., 1987).
Age of Rape Victims
The NWS found that "rape in America is a tragedy of youth," with the majority of cases occurring during childhood and adolescence:
-Twenty-nine percent of all forcible rapes occurred when the victim was less than 11 years old.
-Another 32% occurred when the victim was between ages of 11-17.
-Slightly more than one in five rapes (22%) occurred between the ages of 18-24.
-Seven percent of rapes occurred between the ages of 25-29.
-Only six percent of rapes occurred when the victim was older than 29 years old.
The NVAW Survey found:
21.6% of first or only rape cases
experienced by women happened
before age 12.
32.4% of such cases happened between the ages of 12 and 17.
29.4% happened between the ages of 18 and 24.
16.6% happened at age 25 or greater.
Note: The NWS data represent a breakdown of victim’s ages at the time of all rape cases; and the NVAW data are a breakdown of age at the time of first rape only.
The NSA also provides information about the age at time of 462 cases of sexual assault experienced by 12-17-year-old adolescents (Kilpatrick, 1996, from the Mouths of Victims paper).
29.9% had been assaulted before age 11.
16.3% between the ages of 11 and 12.
20.8% between the ages of 13 and 14.
20.8% between the ages of 15 and 16.
1.7% at age 17.
Note: In the remaining 8.7% of cases, victims were not sure or refused to provide age data.
The NSA provides a different perspective because it provides data on cases during childhood and adolescence (Kilpatrick, 1996).
32.5% of perpetrators were identified as friends.
23.2% were strangers.
22.1% were relatives (fathers,
stepfathers, brothers, sisters, grandparents, others).
18.1% were other nonrelatives known well by the victim.
Why don’t victims report rapes to police?
...A primary reason for not reporting was a victim’s desire to maintain privacy.
The Rape in America report (Kilpatrick et al., 1992) included information relevant to why most victims are reluctant to report (see Figure 1). ...other people findings out, and their names being made public by the news media.
A victim with these concerns would likely have substantial reservations about reporting the rape to police. However, it is reasonable to assume that addressing these concerns might encourage reporting.

You say that "transgender" kids MUST be allowed to use the opposite sexes restroom no matter what age, grade, etc... FINE...
Fine, that is, if you at least have clear criteria.
What are the guidelines?
Who gets in and who doesn't?
It does NOT prove that trans kids rape girls in school restrooms. Unless you have evidence that a kid professed to be trans, got into the girl's room with the school's permission and raped a girl? No, you don't.

The issue here is without any clearly defined measures of scrutiny, no medical verification or otherwise, under Obama's language, ANY boy can justify being in the girls room whether trans or NOT.
They already rape in school.
And a huge percentage never get reported (especially in schools the whole embarrassment dynamic).
Even less rapists (in general, that graph is) serve actual hard time.
Instead what we got was a bunch of trolling, displays of no hold barred selfishness, shallow appeals to emotion, and the like.
