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

Uh... transgender people aren't the ones putting laws on the books about where they can pee.

It doesn't matter who's making the laws, but the law protects the rights of people who don't want members of the opposite sex to come into the room where they pull their pants down or their dresses up.  If it doesn't matter to you whether you use the men's or the women's restroom, why are you fighting the law?  Everyone comes out a winner.

See, Gemini?

You see the absurdity of your argument and that's why you made this reply.  Of course people care about who they share a bathroom with.  It's common sense.

Fuck you, Lek. You have no business telling me what I think. 

Furthermore? Sure; that's why bands are boycotting NC, Target is willfully defying the new laws, and there's a huge argument happening over it.

If it doesn't matter which bathroom someone uses, why cause such a fuss about having to use the men' bathroom if you have a penis, therefore not causing a bunch of people anxiety?  Why are transgenders making such a fuss about which bathroom they use?

I prefer the men's room because the lines are usually shorter.

Guys piss and get out.  Fucking women have to take forever.

I think they're doing it because they're trying to be politically correct and haven't really thought it through.  Plus you can talk about who supports it all you want and I can talk about who is against it.  That really doesn't make a difference  as to which is right.  Do you not care about the rights of women and girls who fear people with penises sharing public restrooms with them?

Nope. Not when those "rights" are based in fear and nothing tangible.

The reason for the legislation was never a few women's fear of male reproductive organs. It was sexual assault, which has nothing to do with transgender bathroom ordinances.

What are the "rights" of transsexuals based on?

I have been creeped out by men in a bathroom before, but I also get creeped out by men even in public, depending on the individual. But most people don't frighten me in high traffic public places in any case.

With any crime in any case, not just on sex, but the criminal is going to either ambush you and you wont see it coming, or they are going to give you the image of trust to gain your trust. Bernie Madoff bilked investors of billions, wore a suit while he did it too. Just like we catch pastors and ministers and priests molesting kids or assaulting women.

Inside and outside sex, crime may have different motives, but for the criminal, it is about opportunity, and no one sex or class is crime free. Rooms don't have magic powers for any crime.
