Obama’s transgender bathroom directive is even worse than you think

Oh, I do agree, but this squeaky wheel oiling is affecting the masses, it’s so over the top, and it is being normalized for only one reason. We tolerate it en masse.

This means we stop and stand, regardless of the costs.

Congress needs to pass a statute...

Acts of Congress are so passé; the "pen and phone" are where it's at these days. That, or an unaccountable, political black-robed tyrant will tell us all how we must live.

(1) School districts must allow biological males and females to spend the night together in the same hotel room on field trips.

(2) Colleges must let men who say they are “transgender” be roommates with one or more women.

(3) School officials cannot even tell those young women or their parents in advance that their new roommate is a man, without risking a federal lawsuit.

(4) The most noxious aspect of the “Dear Colleague Letter” is how the federal government defines “transgender.”

“Transgender” is entirely subjectively defined: a student becomes a member of the opposite sex the moment he or she feels like it

(5) Just as there is no minimum threshold required to qualify as transgender,there is no maximum limit to the number of times a student can change genders

(6) Schools must provide “transgender” students proper housing:

As a conservative with libertarian leanings, I don’t like to see anyone coerced, even transgenders. But if students are free to share public bathroom facilities with whomever they prefer, then the reciprocal must also be true, namely, that students are also free NOT to share bathroom facilities with whomever they don’t prefer.

This means all students, transgender or not, should be free to reconsider their willingness to share public bathroom facilities at all, and choose to go elsewhere, even home, for privacy.

The willingness of the vast majority of students to share facilities with others of the same biological sex is a centuries old convention and has been a huge blessing, for it maximizes class attendance by allowing efficient use of limited break time and limited facilities.

I am all for protecting the privacy, rights and freedom of all kinds of minorities. But I don’t think the Obama administration has thought through the logical consequences of throwing away a hugely cost efficient convention.

This is like saying people should be free to choose what side of the road to drive on! After all who is to say the right side of the road is better than the left?

Well true, right side or left side, it doesn’t matter, but we must agree on one side, or give up driving altogether.

You’ve hit the nail. The left is far more organized than we are, and they aren’t the ones working the productive jobs that provide the entire nation’s necessities, or paying the taxes that support the SJWs and their nonprofits which are busy dismantling western civilization.
The average parent / citizen of the US has no clue about how the system is **supposed** to work, much less how and why these violations are occurring.
Try and inform them, their eyes glaze over and they tune you out.

Not bad at all, *enumerated.

Tgenders are less than 0.1 of the population. This is as you said coercion, of the rest of the student population.

This is after ten years of confusing the sexes in public schools, pushing the envelope, making gay and lesbian “cool”, calling the shameful indulgence a virtue, normalizing the abnormal, mainstreaming it, in order to press moral decline and chaos onto the already socially and spiritually demoralized American society.

There apparently no real fighters left, in the USA. It is worth a battle, but is relegated to the analysts couch we call public school classrooms— the downfall of our society.

My tagline works here.
