“I know the difference between a man and a woman.”

LOL, on the contrary, your remarks quite obviously indicate you do not know the differences between a man and a woman, and you would consequently find yourself in a ticklish dilemma when finally being forced to make a determination with your blue gloved hands and smart looking TSA uniform. Yes, I can see it now as you are confronted with a choice you’d rather not make.

“Or should it be the rule that people should use whichever room they like, regardless of biology?”

That’s the problem with your comments, you flunked Human biology.

“But don’t tell me that Trump will stand up for America and everything that is important when he can’t even stand up to the Bathroom Bullies.”

ROFLMAO, I’d hate to see what Cruz “stood up” for, especially after those published reports of Cruz crossdressing as a girl to get into the girls’ dorms to play Peeping Tom and hanging around in the dorm hallway around the young women in a smoking jacket robe. Imagine the optics of those encounters replayed on the campaign trail tomorrow!

The only people talking about blue gloved TSA agents are Trump supporters.

Somehow we had Mens and Ladies Rooms for hundreds of years without having any blue gloved TSA agents checking genitals.

Cruz thinks that the traditional approach was perfectly cromulent. 99.97% of the population knows where to go, and when you have a man in the Women's Room, you tell him to get the hell out. If he absolutely refuses, you all the cops. It has been this way all along.

Trump thinks the traditional approach should be tossed out because it is too much trouble to deal with the strife and economic hardship being dished out by the Bathroom Bullies. He thinks that if you have a man in the Women's Room, you should not be able to tell him to get the hell out. He says that if the man refuses to leave, you have no recourse to call the cops, because no rule would have broken.

Trump does not stop to consider why there are separate bathrooms. He does not think about why there is a rule that men can't be in the Womens Room. It is causing strife and economic hardship, and it is a gotcha question, so he'll just toss all that aside. It is Chesterton's Fence, and Trump did not take the time to understand what he was throwing away before throwing it away.

This is a penny-ante issue. But the way Trump deals with it is indicative of his general approach. He does not understand the principle behind Chesterton's Fence, because he does not have an understanding of conservatism.

CHESTERTON'S FENCE

Excerpted from The Thing - GK Chesterton - 1929

"In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."
