It’s a question that Congressman Ralph Abraham is asking, What is the difference between a person’s gender and their sex?

President Obama recently issued a directive saying any public school must allow students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond to their gender identity, or lose federal funding.

Obama says not complying would be in violation of Title IX.

But, Abraham introduced a legislation that would clear up any confusion with Title IX, which refer’s to a person’s biological sex.

“We can amend Title IX to have to say that the word “sex” does not mean gender identity, which you know, they are two completely different words,” says Abraham.

Abraham says, this is a state and local issue…one for the people decide.

“It shouldn’t even be a federal issue, and certainly not an issue the president needs to get involved with,” says Abraham.

At Forsythe park, we caught up with several parents and residents who gave us their thoughts on the transgender bathroom issue.

“It’s really not a good idea. Whatever your sexuality preference is, I believe, you know, that’s fine. But as far as bathrooms, a guy could dress up as a woman and be a pedophile and go into a girl bathroom or a woman can dress up as a guy and molest your kids, you don’t know what could happen,” says resident, Tiffany Wilson.

“I think if, little boys should go to little boy bathrooms, little girls should go to little girl bathrooms, and if we don’t stop it now, we are going to have a lot of teen pregnancies,” says resident, Janee Robinson.

But not everyone disagreed…

“It would be probably best for people to accept other people’s opinions and not fight it over simple, minor things that cannot be controlled,” says resident, William Faller.
