Nailed it. End of story.
 
The anti-transgender position is based on the false belief that transgender people are more likely to molest children. That position is based in the false belief that homosexuality is a choice of evil people, and transgender is a choice by even more evil people.

If we drop the "idea" that transgenders are more likely to molest children, the objections dissipate.

Nope. Just like telling assholes that they are assholes especially cocky little ****ers like that idiot.

It's funny how gay bashing has shifted so quickly to trans bashing huh. Just like the homophobes of yesterday were the racists before that

Mostly that's the reason, but i have heard some claim the new bathroom laws are to prevent non transgender peeping toms from going into female restroom under guise that they're transgender. This is still wrong, but i see it as a less hatefully hysterical position than what really inspired laws like in north carolina
 
I guess I should watch that video. But all I can see is that, as usual, it is some dude mansplaining why women shouldn't mind having dudes in their private spaces. Quelle surprise.

Where i agree with the video, it's really simple, the bathroom issue is this. Here in Houston our city voted on whether to remove gender from restrooms completely. And typically people don't want their daughters in restrooms with men. That's prefectly understandable. As far as trans folks go, there is no real way to tell if they ate the appropriate sex for the bathroom they chose. It isn't an issue.

So anything a man says is bs because he is a man? I think you're sexist.

Once again, the tired and silly attempt to liken discrimination against homosexuals for what they do to discrimination against black people for what they are. Next you'll be trying to peddle the falsehood that the people who wrote and ratified the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868 intended it not to protect the basic civil rights of newly freed black slaves, as all the historic evidence indicates, but also to protect the right of people to engage in homosexual acts.

Nothing in the Constitution requires any state to cater to sexual deviants of any type in its laws. The people of each state are free to cater to them at every opportunity, not to cater to them at all, or to do anything in between. Many people consider it immoral and disgusting to be forced to occupy any room at the same time as people of the opposite sex, when the nature of that room--e.g. a restroom or locker room--requires private parts to be exposed. And they find it all the more so where some of the people involved are children.

:lol: You really believe celibate gay people face no discrimination?

Interracial couples choose to be together just as much as same sex couples do. Why people want to discriminate against either doesn't matter. That are still choosing to be in that sort of relationship.

Those who wrote the 14th could have easily limited its scope to just freed slaves or even all black people people or nonwhites, only limit the protection on race, but they didn't. Instead they left it very broad for us. Your interpretation is not important, and neither is their reasoning since any insight into that and how far any of them intended it to cover is subjective speculation.

Not sure what you guys are blathering on about. First it's that we should want men in the ladies room and now it's something about homosexuality and racism? Just let us know when you have it all figured out. Thank you.

Who's "us" exactly?
 
I'm sorry (not kidding here). Did you make a contribution to this thread? I took a quick look at your comment history overall and it seems to consist almost entirely of one-liners and/or passive/aggressive comments about other posters. Nothing inherently wrong with that, or course, if that's your style. It just doesn't engage me.

No, that's not my usual style. I only act passive/agressive towards people I don't like.

Can't speak to what your "usual style" might be elsewhere; I was going simply on your comment history here. If I ever notice that you've started to spend some time discussing issues instead of cracking one liners, I'll be glad to revise my assessment.

It's an excellent video.

Dang. You tricked me. So, I took your recommendation and watched it. You are wrong. It is not excellent. But I guess a one minute jokey vid where the dude calls anyone who doesn't agree with his jokey explanation, "****ing idiots" might appear excellent in some quarters. :shrug:

That's not it at all. The worry is that molesters will exploit the restroom issue. And it doesn't even have to be a molester, what parent wants pervy men in changing rooms and restrooms ogling their young daughters? What woman wants pervy men in the locker room ogling them at the gym?

People who pretend not to get this are fooling nobody.

Greetings, matchlight. :2wave:

Well said! :thumbs: The main reason most people have doors that can be closed in their own homes - specially bathrooms and bedrooms - is for personal privacy, especially if there are young children living there. I have yet to visit anyone who has no doors in their home, so it seems to be a common thing. Why anyone should be told that visiting the mall or a restaurant changes everything doesn't make sense, since no one can read minds. I am definitely not prudish, but I've lived long enough to know the physical difference between a man and a woman - young children usually don't - and I wouldn't want some stranger doing the explaining!

The irony in all this is that while some are actively demanding special rooms in public places to breastfeed a baby, all the rest of us, no matter what sex, should use the same restroom to pee, no matter who else is in there? :shock:

Yeah whatever pal, tell it to the scores of gay teens who have been abandoned, expelled, abused, and driven to suicide simply for who they *are* Tell it to the adults who have lost their job simply for who they *are*

Next you will say there's no such thing as homophobia, when it's clear from your 1st paragraph you hate homosexuals and from your 2nd that you fear them
