Trump gives a direct, strong answer on transgendered people and bathrooms.
Althouse ^ | April 21, 2016 | Ann Althouse

I like the way he focused on the role of law. North Carolina enacted a law, and now "they're paying a big price, and there's a lot of problems." Law wasn't needed, because: "There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate, there has been so little trouble." There was already a social adjustment that accommodated people who needed to be accommodated.

Asked whether he would let Caitlyn Jenner, a trans woman, use the bathroom of her choice at Trump Tower, he said he would. He added, "There's a big move to create new bathrooms. Problem with that is … first of all, I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way. It would be unbelievably expensive for businesses and for the country. Leave it the way it is."

He was clear, practical, and sensible. He didn't go into impugning anyone on either side but saw it in terms of economics and law — and by law, I mean the limits of law, where it should end and where social etiquette works.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Scroll to 8:24 for the relevant part.

ADDED: Trump seems to be letting his roots grow out. Can we expect to see him with a fully white head of hair by the time the election rolls around? The location of the white part now gives some clues as to the directionality of the combover. I hope he gets a haircut soon, leaving the whole crazy swirl shorter and removing all that's left of the orangosity.

this is unbefrigginleivable- trump says he’s fine with transgenders using the same bathrooms as our daughters, grandaughters, wives, etc and trump supporters defend him by declaring that peopel shoudl just ignore transgenders when htey use the sme bathroom as our daughters, grandaughters, wives, etc

Had Ted cruz said that- FR would have nothing but threads abotu ‘slimy Crux’ “Dirty Ted’ etc etc etc and they would be absolutely crucifying him for making such a statement! Btu since it was donald- Meh- no big deal- they simply tell us to get over it?

The hypocrisy stinks to high heaven

What do you mean you’re three steps ahead?

In your last post to me, you asked me about men peeing in urinals in the ladies room.

You are a frothing at the mouth madman.

Why don’t you go catch your breath and have a drink or something.

Damn.

"Seems the left approves."

I placed my first vote for Reagan in the '76 primary and have voted Republican in every election since...every 2 years anyway. Skipped some local stuff.

And, I have a couple of neighbors who are as homo as the day is long.

And I have no problem with the unisex bathroom/locker room thing. It just doesn't bother me.

But my two homo neighbors think it's outrageous. It even angers them, and here in CA it's recently been decided that a High School will allow it.

The one who is a teacher is the most adamant, thinks it's "perverse".

Ain't that the damndest thing you ever heard?

you know, you’re right.

Besides, transgenders’ hormones have whacked them so badly, 90 percent couldn’t use their private if they wanted to.

"Maybe Lyin Ted has an issue here, and now maybe he can take the nomination by focusing on...... BATHROOMS!"

He will, even though it's too late to help him much.

And I hope he makes a very big deal over it.

You know, with the Eastern and West Coast primaries coming up.

After all, he is a principled Conservative. He cannot allow this perversion to stand.

No, I’m sure my former neighbor in Iowa, an art teacher and gayer than a Maypole, would almost certainly agree. You can’t pigeonhole anyone.

"I don’t know. I think the jury is out on that at this time."

It might be regional, or even an Evangelical thing rooted in natural repulsion.

But where I am it's not a big deal at all, even with my 3 sisters.

After all, if the wimmins aren't scared I'm not too concerned. They tell me it was going on long before the law was changed here. As long as there's real men within screaming distance it is not an issue.

Because perverts hiding out in the ladies room is nothing new and allowing "transgendered" girls in is a total non-issue for most women that I have talked to.

But most women who others talk to may hear a different story.

And, how many men would care if a bull dike wanted to use the men's room? I'd sure like to meet one so I could laugh at his pussy ass.

Trump's America isn't what you're hoping it will be any more that Obama's minions hoped Obama's America would be.

Il Duce will be sure to disappoint his acolytes all the way to the bathroom.

I have yet to see a bull dyke in the mens room. Maybe I did and just didn’t recognize, but I don’t think so.

But yeah, the women don’t seem to be up in arms, so I’m not really worried about it.

It’s always been illegal to commit sex crimes in the restroom, that hasn’t changed.

I know people who haven’t taken any hormones at all and have trouble using the privates.

They just got old. Plumbing broke down. Getting old sucks.

Blows my mind man, country is going to hell and people up in arms about who is in which bathroom.

WE’VE LOST OUR MINDS IN THIS COUNTRY!

“If a man is in the men’s room purposely exposing himself purposely to others, he’s committing a crime.”

Uhhh....no. Because he isn’t a man because he thinks he isn’t a man. He’s now a woman.
Haven’t you been paying attention?

And on that we finally agree.

Have a nice evening.

If Cruz had said this, and one of the eight people the audience was still awake, they’d probably be very upset.

I don’t believe I said transgender or tranny, did I?

I said a man. It’s right there in the quote.

It’s already illegal to behave in a lewd manner or to commit crimes of a sexual nature in the restroom regardless of what you think you are or are not.

Since all the supporters at the tRump rallies are escapees from the local insane asylum, they'll clap at anything the Donald does or says. Just like trained monkeys.

So your daughter, wife, niece or granddaughter should be exposed to full-grown men in the ladies’ room?

Nope...And there are enough people in Congress who will keep it from happening if it goes that far and the conservative Supreme Court Justices that Trump will appoint won't let it happen...

The one thing we know about Trump is that he's not going to say something because it is politically correct...

And look at it this way...If you guys vote for Hillary in the General as many of you and the rest of the GOPe threaten, Trump's going to need a lot of Bernie votes to make it...
