Thats exactly how the VAST majority of people in America see this. Somehow this tiny segment of the population that "made a choice" to cause a problem now gets to force its will on the majority. This is the new America and most of us don't like where we are going.

Are we really back to the "LGBT is a choice" line of thinking again?

I don't know John.... I mean after 20 years of "fixed at birth" all of the sudden your side is pushing "fluid" so why don't you guys make up your mind before you move forward with wrecking society ok?

Come on...apply some common sense at least.

Where did I fail to make it pretty clear that I oppose that standard?

Quote:Part of your issue is that you fundamentally mistake what you want the law to be, with what it actually is.

No, I don't mistake anything.

Your mistake is that you don't pay attention to what I am saying. I'm not saying that I favor the Texas bill as drafted. I don't agree with it. I would guess that I pretty much share your opinion of Dan Patrick as well.

All I'm saying is that there has to be some standard. Your right to be able to pee and poop is universal. That's not being challenged here. Your "right" to pee or poop where you want to, because that is most comfortable to you, has to be weighed against the rights of others not to be put to discomfort by your choice. It's nothing more than a comfort issue both ways, not any sort of fundamental right.

If you have male equipment, you have a right to pee in the boys' room. You do not have a right to pee in the girls' room. And vice versa. That does not in any way interfere with your rights, and it protects the rights of others. I'm not at all opposed to deciding that based on the equipment you have today, and I think that makes more sense for many reasons than deciding that based upon the equipment you were born with.

As I've said before, your fundamental problem is that you are unwilling to give any weight to the rights of anyone but the LGBT community. You have to balance the rights of one with the rights of the other. And when the issue is nothing more than do we make 1% more comfortable or do we make 99% more comfortable, that would seem to be well over in slam dunk territory.

Again, I'll pose the question. How would you resolve the issue, giving appropriate weight to the interests of both groups?

What you're missing Owl is that you're not allowed any nuance in a conversation with tom.

I'm sure pretty much everyone here has said "If the plumbing has been changed they should be able to use the appropriate bathroom."

I understood you completely because I agree with you and have had the same conversation with Tom....

Tom will refuse to give appropriate weight to both groups... and call you/allude to you being a bigot for not just accepting his position as being the only one that matters/describes fairness.

Like you, I don't favor the Texas bill, but I DO favor a bill/decision.

I'd favor the same approach we've given to people with disabilities. New buildings need to go to single use bathrooms, or 'three' options. Male, female or 'single'. Older buildings comply as they update, but are grandfathered. The problem isn't even trans-sexuals... 90+% of whom you wouldn't know what kind of equipment they had and wouldn't question them walking into whichever bathroom they presented themselves as..... it is those who now take this to another level and are gender fluid or some other definition wanting to be catered to. It's not the public's responsibility to cater to every possibility.

If you present as a man, then use the men's. If you present as a woman, then use the women's. That's the way I'd go. I think a man dressed as a woman going into the women's and accused of being a pervert simply because of how they dressed would be able to prove the allegations false by demonstrating that they regularly dress as a woman and/or that they are under care or counseling for possible gender reassignment (at least with a preacher or other professional).

I suppose this creates a problem for the guy who just yesterday decided he was going to start dressing as a woman and hasn't spoken to ANY professional about it and needs to use a public facility right now and no single option is available... but seriously... I'm betting this person doesn't exist other than as a statistic.


the problem is, while this is better than 'The Texas plan', few on the left will go for it... so why should the evangelicals compromise, or why should the 'mainstream' right buck them? The left wants either to force trillions in spending by government or business or create victims galore.

Here's the REAL question, Tom....

Can you show me a bathroom bill from a Democratically controlled state that is better (in your opinion) than what I, Bull or Owl have suggested?

Yes, a man dressing up or identifying as a woman is a choice. If you fully transition, do the surgery take the drugs then you can use the woman's room or locker room. If you ding dong is still attached you use the men's room end of story. Really simple.

Never left that line of thinking in regard to the Transgender issue.

one caveat....

As I understand it, we make people choosing to do the surgery go for a long period of time as the other gender before making the permanent decision

a) i realize we're not talking about many people and
b) I realize we're not talking about 'forever'...

but that's why I say 'how you present' and 'being under care or counseling'.

Here's the REAL question, Tom....

Can you show me a bathroom bill from a Democratically controlled state that is better (in your opinion) than what I, Bull or Owl have suggested?

Here's my view.

1) Someone's right to be 'comfortable' does not and should never interfere with the access to commerce and education by a minority
2) There are no need for any bathroom bill, other than one that mandates access for those matching their gender either at birth, as transitioned
to, or those in the process of transitioning under the care of a medical doctor. This access should be EQUAL in every way to that of those who were born a certain gender.
3) Every single bathroom bill proposed has mandated that some post op men use the women's room (or post of women use the mens room). Every single, last one of them. These bills are all lies. So long as the other side is being 100% disingenuous regarding the content of their bills, there's no point in debating it.
4) Virtually every one of these bills also removes employment and/or public accoomodations access for LGBT persons. That is what these bills are about.
5) Every debate on this issue centers around the haters trying to scapegoat and punish Trans people for crimes they are not committing. None of these bills do anything to help even mitigate the issue of pervitude in restrooms/changing rooms. Not one single bill. Because all of them mandate some men in womens rooms. So business owners and the state will get sued if they question any man in a ladies room if they guess wrong and the man is simply a post op F to M complying with the law. After a few lawsuits, business owners and the state will simply stop questioning anyone. And God forbid any person complying with the law is assaulted or murdered. The killer/assaulter will probably get no jail time, but it will result in massive boycotts of that municipality.

And the haters in the GOP know this. They don't care. They're just looking to hate.

---

Under no circumstances should any post op or transitioning (under the care of medical doctor) Trans person ever have to have any disminishment of their full and equal participation in society. Having a 'question mark' restroom for Trans kids is never acceptable because it opens the kids to abuse. Banning Trans kids from MALE ALPHA TEAM sports is also unacceptable. Making Trans people with 200 years for some sort of refurbishment of a building to have access is also unacceptable.

Because there IS a solution that works right now....simply allow Trans persons to use the facility consistent with that which they present after surgery or during the process of transitioning under the care of a medical doctor. No need to spend so much as one dime. Just treat people fairly.

whenever you needed surgery to create an abomination of a fake unit it was indeed a choice.

After a few lawsuits, business owners and the state will simply stop questioning anyone. And God forbid any person complying with the law is assaulted or murdered. The killer/assaulter will probably get no jail time, but it will result in massive boycotts of that municipality.

And the haters in the GOP know this. They don't care. They're just looking to hate.

Under no circumstances should any post op or transitioning (under the care of medical doctor) Trans person ever have to have any disminishment of their full and equal participation in society. Having a 'question mark' restroom for Trans kids is never acceptable because it opens the kids to abuse. Banning Trans kids from MALE ALPHA TEAM sports is also unacceptable. Making Trans people with 200 years for some sort of refurbishment of a building to have access is also unacceptable.

Because there IS a solution that works right now....simply allow Trans persons to use the facility consistent with that which they present after surgery or during the process of transitioning under the care of a medical doctor. No need to spend so much as one dime. Just treat people fairly.

And you're very obviously just looking to hate back.

I'm wondering why you gave this long response, but didn't answer my very simple question.

You say you don't need a bathroom bill 'other than this one', but you haven't yet shown me where any Democrat controlled state or Democrat representative in a Republican controlled state has presented such a bill. If Democrats were themselves interested in anything other than engaging in the politics of hate, you'd be able to show me such a simple bill....

You use the bathroom of your gender at birth, or as amended (or not) under the care of a physician... pretty much as I suggested. 19 words.

OF COURSE 'the other side' gives you a bill you don't favor.... You're not their constituents. If I had a choice between the two bills, I'd choose the one I articulated which is pretty close to yours... but since I'm not really impacted by it, it doesn't fall very high on my list of priorities.... so I'm certainly not going to favor a 'high tax' democrat over a 'low tax' Republican simply because of the bathroom bill.

and while I generally agree with the bathroom portion of your proposal, you go much further suggesting that the 'family' or 'single use' option somehow demeans people.... and then you stretch it to include sports.

First of all, I don't think girls are generally prohibited from competing as males anymore... it's the opposite... where men are generally prohibited from competing as females... and for very good reasons of the same sort of 'fairness' that you claim to want for trans persons.

As I said, you refuse to give equal weighting to both groups. You support the rights of perhaps a few hundred thousand? I have no idea... trans females to compete as women despite their very obvious advantages over the rights of 100+mm women.

Some family in Canada recently declined to have gender at all on their birth certificate and they had a whole movement supporting them... in fact I think it was actually CALLED a movement (by the supporters)... way to make your child a target so that you can feel better about yourselves... but those people want to violate your proposed (and My and I believe Owl's) agreed bill.

They're engaging in the same 'hate' you're blaming Republicans for.



Let me put it in a different context....
Let's say that geneticists found a way to transition people among their races... that black people could become white and vice versa... and someone either by choice or by genetics (lots of people with mixed race genes) could decide to 'identify' as the other race....... and perhaps even transition to it...

Would you think it fair to eliminate things like scholarships specifically targeted for minorities or hiring preferences or references to slavery and people somehow having been oppressed since now the people representing that race may have actually been the oppressors themselves? Serious question. If you want to go to a completely raceless, genderless society, where everyone competes solely on merit for anything and everything, I suppose we can talk about that... but something tells me you're not going to want to do that.

Asked differently, what if I claimed to be a pre-op male to female trans-gendered lesbian... meaning for all intents and purposes a man... and found a doctor willing to support my gender and sexual identity... should I be allowed to compete against women in athletics or put 'female' on a job application or STEM scholarship that favored women?

Or do we need to have rules?

Can you show me a bathroom bill from a Democratically controlled state that is better (in your opinion) than what I, Bull or Owl have suggested?

Here's my view.

1) Someone's right to be 'comfortable' does not and should never interfere with the access to commerce and education by a minority
2) There are no need for any bathroom bill, other than one that mandates access for those matching their gender either at birth, as transitioned
to, or those in the process of transitioning under the care of a medical doctor. This access should be EQUAL in every way to that of those who were born a certain gender.
3) Every single bathroom bill proposed has mandated that some post op men use the women's room (or post of women use the mens room). Every single, last one of them. These bills are all lies. So long as the other side is being 100% disingenuous regarding the content of their bills, there's no point in debating it.
4) Virtually every one of these bills also removes employment and/or public accoomodations access for LGBT persons. That is what these bills are about.
5) Every debate on this issue centers around the haters trying to scapegoat and punish Trans people for crimes they are not committing. None of these bills do anything to help even mitigate the issue of pervitude in restrooms/changing rooms. Not one single bill. Because all of them mandate some men in womens rooms.

You will find that it is not particularly easy to get approval for transition. And there are serious rules about the pre-surgery requirements.

Currently, the GOP supports hate against LGBT persons. But do you really want the precedent set that 50 percent plus one gets to make it functionally impossible for minorities to function in society?

I get it, you don't care. But know that your not caring is causing our community problems. Don't whine when we, correctly, do everything we can to link these bills to things you MIGHT care about. Like sports, business, etc.

1) Someone's right to be 'comfortable' does not and should never interfere with the access to commerce and education by a minority

But bathroom bills don't go there. They address the right of 1% to be comfortable with the right of 99% to be comfortable. They resolve this in favor of the 99%, which is entirely reasonable. Nobody is denied access to commerce or education or any other form of participation in society. There is always one rest room they can use, and wherever there is one type, there must surely be the other. Trying to equate a bathroom bill with depriving any right is an absurdity.

I don't disagree here, and this is where I have a problem with those bathroom bills based on gender at birth. Base it on what they are now.

Basing it on what they are now, instead of how they were born, resolves this issue.

Quote:4) Virtually every one of these bills also removes employment and/or public accoomodations access for LGBT persons. That is what these bills are about.

I oppose any and all such provisions. They have no place being tagged onto a bathroom bill, which does address a legitimate issue.

Spare the hyperbole.

Letting a M to F participate in athletics as a girl is a patently absurd physical mismatch. The same probably applies to a F to M who has been taking substantial male hormones. Have one league for girls who were born girls and have always been girls, and an open league for everyone else--with the proviso that girls can participate in the open league if they want and can be competitive physically.

Quote:Because there IS a solution that works right now....simply allow Trans persons to use the facility consistent with that which they present after surgery or during the process of transitioning under the care of a medical doctor. No need to spend so much as one dime. Just treat people fairly.

Don't have a major problem with this. I'm somewhat concerned about the during transition part. I'm definitely more comfortable with the idea that you go to the room consistent with whatever physical equipment you currently possess. I think that pretty well balances the equities between the two groups. Again this is nothing but a comfort issue either way. Nobody is ever deprived of the right to pee or poo. They are just asked to be considerate of the concerns of others in determining where they do so.

Again, your whole position on this issue is based on the assumption that only one group's rights or concerns matter. Both groups matter, and any reasonable solution has to consider both. You have never done that.

In England, do they have Loo Bills? Maybe they ban fags in loos.

exactly.... especially in that I have repeatedly mentioned this as a reason I disagree with the 'equipment' position.

but it DOES allow him to then follow his comment up by pigeon-holing everyone into one group and calling them bigots, just as I said he would... line 2 post 85
