A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

It won't be a woman's jail, it will be a man's jail. So either the transsexual will have to spend their entire time in solitary confinement or will be at of risk rape on a daily basis.
To be quite frank, we need to fucking do something to reduce prison rape. Jails need to be held accountable when it happens under their watch.

Ultimately, the notions that:
1. We must further marginalize a minority population due to the actions of a different population (sexual predators)
2. That we have any say in another's treatment or a lack there of for a medical condition
Are idiotic.

Perhaps my thinking is overly simplified, but I don't understand where this was a problem that laws needed to be passed to begin with (at least on a public level). Just thinking of strangers who don't know each other, but it would seem that this would only become an issue, if someone who was clearly not the right sex, was going into the incorrect bathroom. If unsure, then I might raise an eyebrow, but would assume that they where going into the correct bathroom. Was their an issue that sparked these changes in bathroom laws? A shower room may be a little different, but I think that if you don't have the appearance of the right parts, then there is going to be issues no matter what.
Also I am curious what the penalty was for simply being in the wrong bathroom previously.

The issue is really religious fundamentalists, feeling burned about how the gay marriage battle turned out, attempting to get back at the LGBTQ community by writing new legislation about who can use what bathroom. That's it.
There's no data suggesting that transsexuals pose a threat to the general public, there's no data showing a legitimate increase in attacks by predators posing as transsexuals. It's just people trying to legalize discrimination because they find some people icky.

I think religious fundies have nerve smearing transwomen as "rapists" when their own priests are the ones bending little boys over the altar all the fucking time
