Why is the federal government wasting its time on this? BTW, I think I know.We are on the same side of this conversation more than you think.

Why are some people so adamantly opposed to letting transgender people use the opposite sex's bathroom? And more importantly, why do transgender people want to use opposite sex bathrooms so badly? It's a bathroom! You go there to take a ****! Why is it such a big deal whether or not you get to go to the bathroom somewhere, or whether or not you get to stop someone from going somewhere?
Questions for the transgender side: Why do you want to use the other restroom so badly? Is the men's room out of soap? Are you sick of the lines for the women's room? Is it some kind of freedom thing? Do freedom ****s pass easier than regular ones?
Questions for the other side: what is so bad about a few transgenders using your bathroom? Are you hoarding all the soap? Are you afraid of the men's room getting short lines as women stampede to the unoccupied stalls? Do freedom ****s smell worse than regular ones?
Oh come on, which would have the lowest percentage of occurrences? A predator using a transgender bathroom to spy on children or a transsexual actually needing a transgender bathroom? The occurrences of both are astronomically low. Why is the federal government wasting its time on this?

Liberals are going to use the same playbook as with gay marriage. Issues don't end with transgenders. The same MO will be used, forever, facilitated by the dopey judiciary.Because it is a political counter to social conservatism in various states looking to demonize transgenders. It is going to get far worse before we get past this issue.

From my view it's a conveniently used and raised wedge issue for the purposes of the presidential election, and to distract the focus of the electorate away from something else.
I expect a continuous stream of equally invented wedge issues as long as the present DNC establishment is in place.
This is never freedom , right or equality but a threat to our safety....That's a good point, for more reasons than I think Kelly Lauren realized. A lot of men are perturbed by the advances of transgenders, so that tweet would've also made quite a few guys stop and reconsider things.

Well, it appears to me that this is an artificial scandal. For decades, transgender men have been using the men's bathroom, and transgender women have been using the women's bathroom without any problem. However, it seems some people chose to suddenly make laws against that sort of thing when some high profile people came out as transgender, and it 'came on the radar' of the religious right. So, they made a big deal about it, passed laws against it, and used it as a distraction from economics, and their own issues with governing to energize their base. That provoked an equally big response from the opposite side of the political spectrum. It's all a distraction from keeping people from looking at the real issues, such as money, jobs, the environment, voting rights, the infrastructure, the quality of education, etc etc etc.
It's the whole catering to fear to energize the base, and distract from the fact the people promoting it are otherwise doing a very bad job of running their states.
Medusa, I've had threats to my safety in public restrooms before. They didn't have anything to do with transgenders.
How is it a "threat to your safety"?This is never freedom , right or equality but a threat to our safety.
Lets assume % 95 of those are peaceful, decent people,what about the ones that would fake it ?Many people fail to understand this point.I like LGBT people and find them so cheerful honest and friendly but the reality is not that simple.Public spaces have some rules and can not be operated by one's feelings.
Just to be clear, when you say transgender men and transgender women, you're referring to the sex they got through surgery, right?
I was originally under the impression that you were on the side of transgenders, given that the picture you posted was transgender propoganda.
Then what is it about then if it's not about trans rights?that pic tells more than that.Where did I say I was not on their side? Bathroom thing is not about trans rights ,you very liberal people should get it
