Transexuals

I wasn't even looking. I happened to see it on my facebook news feed just now.

You were able to find such articles because there is a right wing Christian campaign in America against the transgendered right now because they lost the battle against gay marriage. Transgendered people are facing the backlash.

Transgendered people have been around since there have been humans. They have been trying to live their lives the best way they can. Only in the last few years have they started to be accepted, at least in modern day society. And this acceptance and acknowledgement from the larger population has brought the ire of the bigots and Christian far right who are running out of targets.

Well, in America that is, not in all of the rest of the world. Definitely not in northern Europe. And this is an important point to consider. If it was a problem with the transgendered population, then you would hear of this happening in other countries where trans people can use the toilets (bathrooms) of their desired gender and have been given rights and protection in law. Instead there have been great strides made where trans people can change their birth certificates to reflect their new status and get married as such.

Think about this. A male to female transsexual from the UK say, could move to North Carolina and use the woman's bathrooms and even get married to a straight American man and no one would be able to do anything about it because and they wouldn't even realise. Their birth certificate and passport would both have Female written on it.

So don't worry about what might happen without looking at other countries to see whether it actually does.

It doesn't.
