who is 'going after them'?
This is a false narrative. They are demanding laws about bathrooms. They're not generally getting the laws they want.... but THEY demanded them.
presenting your BS opinion as fact does not make it so...
It does for him as that's basically all he ever does.
LMFAO
Exactly what IS my opinion on this?
You two don't even know...
I asked a simple question and you won't answer it...
These laws are the result of 'requests' by the trans-gendered to address their issues to avoid discrimination... I fully understand that the responses are often bad ones, but there is ZERO reason for a bill to be brought up with regard to bathroom issues except that the trans-gendered want it addressed.
If all lawmakers wanted to do was discriminate, they certainly wouldn't make rules that even if you disagree with them, would create grounds for discrimination lawsuits. It seems rather self-evident to anyone with a brain that the easiest way to discriminate against the trans-gendered was to say they aren't a man so they can't use the men's, and they aren't a woman so they can't use the women's. That's what they did, and there wasn't a law to address it so they got away with it... so TG's demanded rules. They don't like the ones they are sometimes being presented with... but it is still a response to their request.
If you think that's BS, then you tell me why someone looking to discriminate against TGs would write ANY law that gave ANY way to prosecute someone for discrimination, no matter how remote the required circumstances. You can't. It makes no sense... and you know it.
FTR, I'm repeatedly on record as being in favor of their opinion, though with concern over the legitimate, not overblown concerns that exist.
My 'BS opinion' is that they should be allowed to use the restroom of the gender they present themselves as... which is (as I understand it) exactly what they want as well. I guess THEY have BS opinions as well. I am 100% against requiring someone who regularly presents as a woman to use the men's, simply because they are pre-op when the medical community has required them to do just that. SInce mine is BS< what is yours? It is ONLY tempered by the concerns about safety from predators, and I've suggested a very reasonable compromise that is consistent with how we've addressed issues for the disabled in this country... and I don't think it a stretch to argue that being physically born one gender but in all other respects, the other could be viewed as a disability. It's certainly a challenge/difference. I guess you think ADA accommodations and compliance directives are BS as well?
