Alabama governor Kay Ivey has signed a bill into law in effect banning diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs across public schools, universities and state agencies, the latest move in a wave of a Republican-led legislation that aims to restrict diversity efforts across the country.

Ivey said her administration “will continue to value Alabama’s rich diversity” but vowed to stop “bad actors on college campuses … to push their liberal political movement counter to what the majority of Alabamians believe”.

Let’s pretend for a moment that “trans” is a real thing. It would be a tiny portion of the population. And, really, what’s the problem with asking someone who is “trans” to use the bathroom for the person they appear to be? Pretty minuscule. Now, let’s examine all the guys who are not trans and why they might want to pretend to be trans. Why would they do that and what is the potential impact on females? Potentially, rapes, assaults, etc. Literally, it’s like putting foxes in the hen house and assuring the hens it’s okay because they identify as hens. According to the Left, it’s far more important to pretend these aggressive males are identifying as female than it is to protect the actual females from assault and rape.

I’m hoping that all of this is going to disappear like bellbottom pants and Nehru jackets. Because that’s what it is, a political fashion statement.

It’s a good start, but I would say it should use Chromosomes as the identifier. There should be restrooms and showers for those with XX chromosomes and others for those with XY chromosomes. The unfortunate few with extra chromosomes are the only ones that can choose. They undoubtedly would make far better choices than idiot Leftists ever could.

Agree, for most people. For the lefty loons, it's a real "right."

For the trannie pervs it's the modus operandi to ply their trade >> sexual violence against women.

If it wasn’t so dang hot I’d move to the south. My POlish blood just can’t handle that heat.
