NC Gov on the wrong side of history......

OK so let's stick with scientific evidence.

• There are differences between male and female brains.
  
• It is not an either / or situation. Some people have more female characteristics, some more male.  
  
• Brain scans of transsexuals show that they do have the brains of the gender that they identify with
  
• There are no differences between brains of different races, say black and white.
  
• Gender identity is not the same as biological sex. When children have been raised from birth being told that they are a different biological sex, say because they had an operation on malformed genitalia, they have retained their birth gender instead.
  
• Is it is not a lifestyle choice. The only cure for transsexuality is to allow the patient to transition. Nothing else works.
  
• No one would choose to be transgendered.
  

[...]

• There is no problem in any other country that allows transgendered people to use the bathrooms for the gender that they identify as
  
• There was never a problem in the US before
  
• There is no problem now. This is a solution looking for a problem that does not exist.
  
• A 'sex change' is not an instantaneous thing. Transsexuals need to live at least a year before they are allowed sex reassignment surgery. Where are they supposed to use the toilets during that time? It is often many years before they can obtain the surgery due to cost.
  
• These laws create many problems that never existed before and solve none.
  
• Trans people are already at real risk due to violence, sexual and physical abuse and suicide. These bathroom laws increase those risks massively.
  
• Your fake caring about the welfare of transgendered people is fooling no one.
  

Mathilda, first I wanted to Reply to this for a "Quoted For Truth" restatement.

I also wanted to inform you that I lightly modified and then plagiarized your statments in a YouTube argument. I did not attribute them, and I apologize. I just thought you said it as well as I possibly could, and I felt it would take away from the force of the words if I said they were not my own, in that format. (Besides, I didn't want those assholes backtracking the citation to AF and burying us in their bullshit, here.) If you are not okay with it, please tell me ASAP, and I will remove my comment there.

That's the link. (I posted it as a url instead of a video link, because that jerk doesn't deserve any additional airtime, but it came up as a video anyway.) My comment is a reply under Shelton Avera's initial comment.

Edit to Add: Oh, my name on there is Robert Richardson, and my picture matches my avatar here, so it should be easy to find. That, and the list, of course.
