Well, I tried to discuss the issue nicely.

Civility with bigots is like a screen door on a submarine....pointless.

I've had an epiphany. @Lek is obviously a very open minded individual. After all, he obviously wants all our teenage daughter exposed to guys like this...

or this...


or this...


in every Target lavatory in the country. After all, this is the result he'll get if these guys are ever forced to use the lavatory of their birth sex.

Either that, or he, and all the christers like him who are freaking out over much of nothing, simply haven't thought things through to their logical conclusion.

How 'bout it @Lek? Do you want these guys in the same lavatory as teenage girls? With you're teenage daughters (if any girls are unfortunate enough to have to call you dad), maybe? More importantly, would most teenage girls be comfortable with these guys in the lavatory with them?!?

I'm betting what you really want is for trans people to just stay the fuck home, out of sight and out of mind. But, that's just my take, based on your posts.

Do you guys believe those who disagree with you are all bigots? I never said that I hate or am afraid of transgender people. I just think that we shouldn't be sharing certain facilities which are meant to provide privacy to the sexes. Am I allowed to think that and still not hate people?

No, you’re not allowed to think and claim you don’t hate these people.

Tolerance is not a moral precept, it is a social contract. By seeking to deny the use of public facilities to trans people, you’re demonstrating intolerance, thus violating the contract. Since you’re not abiding by the contact, it no longer covers you. You’re a bigot.

Apparently you never served in the Navy..

Screen doors on a submarine keeps the fish out.

I suppose you do have a point. It's not like we'd want shit like this to happen:


Wait a tic, let's get a better quality image:


So, shit like that is exactly what Lek would get if he had his way about trans folk being in the bathrooms  that correspond to their birth sex. Frankly, I suspect that if I were a woman, I'd be more alarmed by someone who looks like Michael C. Hughes in my restroom (even if he was assigned female at birth) than someone who looks like a woman but still has their penis.

Does it really matter if you don't hate the people whose lives you want to make miserable? It almost makes is worse if you don't hate them and still treat them this way.

Women are molested by people with penises.

Women are mostly molested by cis men with penises.

Here's a bit of how the anti-trans people 'think'.

Bud Lite used a trans spokesperson and the insecure and stupid among us (Kid Rock is only one of them) are boycotting this action by BUYING Bud Lite and shooting it with rifles.

Somehow these numbnuts think that by purchasing more of the product and just destroying it, they are boycotting Anheuser-Busch.

I do not think they know what boycott means. What I see is proof of a level of ignorance that is mind-boggling.

We'll have to start watching for Bud Lite cans set out as markers in restrooms across the county.

Women are molested by people with penises.

So are children of the same sex, meaning that little boys can still be at risk since they too use men's rooms. Do you support children-only bathrooms? Why or why not?

And how do you propose to police this? Guard doing a package-check in front of every bathroom? There's your small government for you.

And beyond it it all, why do you think trans people are given to sex-crime and seeking to commit that in a public place?

There's a lot of weirdness in this post of yours.

It seems like you guys don't care about anybody else, but yourselves.  It doesn't matter if anybody else feels uncomfortable as long as you feel okay.

We care about the rights of trans people. It seems you don’t, as you want to single them out for discriminatory treatment.

To see how stupid your ‘solution’ is, apply it to any other group:

-A black man sexually assaults someone in a public restroom. Therefore, black men should not be allowed in public restrooms.

-An elderly woman sexually assaults someone in a public restroom. Therefore, elderly women should not be allowed in public restrooms.

-A left-handed film editor sexually assaults someone in a public restroom. Therefore, left-handed film editors should not be allowed in public restrooms.

None these seem to concern you, just the possibility that a trans person might do so. Dig deep, be honest with yourself, and you’ll understand why.

Let me ask you a question, do you believe restrooms should be unisex?
