New York — Stung by setbacks related to their access to public restrooms, transgender Americans are taking steps to play a more prominent and vocal role in a nationwide campaign to curtail discrimination against them.

"with transgender voices leading the way."

Are those voices generally higher-pitched or more in the baritone community?

Our liberal rag published a cartoon depicting a female security matron guarding the door to the ladies’ room as if keeping GBLT sicko males out is somehow a bad thing.

If one of my daughters or my wife goes into a bathroom and a man goes in, he’s going to require some grill work before it’s all over. This is something I will not tolerate. Your either x or your y there is no confusion and no such thing as transgender.

You can always count on AP to write a sympathetic view of any liberal cause, no matter how radical or damaging to society it is. They’re also reliably consistent and predictable in bashing conservatives.

I am still waiting for the prejudice to be exposed. The only discrimination I can see is they have a choice between men’s and ladies room and they keep selecting the wrong room. Not to make this funny, but it is the, “hanging Chad effect.”

Because flooding your body with the hormones of the opposite sex won’t affect your brain at all.

Nope.

Did they take into account the suicide rate of transgender people?

“transgender rights has supplanted same-sex marriage”
Meaning that they never stop. When they got same-sex “marriage” that wasn’t enough for them. They went right on to the next “victim” group, the trannies. After trannies it will be BI. You heard it here.

This nonsense underscores that America has entered a post Christian neo pagan era of epicurean decadence. It is a harsh but undeniable reality that Obama was not elected and reelected in a cultural or social vacuum. Also the American electorate may actually elect the vile , coarse, corrupt woman of no accomplishment Hillary Clinton. Sad facts that cannot be ignored.

Oh, they are out there - the media just doesn't report it. They only report one side of a story, the side which pushes their preferred narrative.
