Transgender people should use bathroom of gender they identify as, U.S. government urges
Washington Post ^ | 06/09/2015 | By Lisa Rein

The federal government is strongly urging employers to give transgender employees access to bathrooms that correspond to their gender identity, marking a new policy front in the fast-moving campaign for transgender equality.

In a four-page Guide to Restroom Access for Transgender Workers, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration advises employers on “Best Practices” concerning restroom access for these employees: “… It is essential for employees to be able to work in a manner consistent with how they live the rest of their daily lives, based on their gender identity,” the guide says.

“Restricting employees to using only restrooms that are not consistent with their gender identity, or segregating them from other workers by requiring them to use gender-neutral or other specific restrooms, singles those employees out and may make them fear for their physical safety,” OSHA, an arm of the Labor Department wrote, posting the guide on its Web site last week.

In some workplaces, “questions can arise… about which facilities certain employees can use,” OSHA said, then explained that someone’s “internal gender identity” may be different from the sex they were assigned at birth. “A person who identifies as a man should be permitted to use men’s bathrooms, and a person who identifies as a woman should be permitted to use women’s restrooms.”

The same liberal progressives pushing that they are whatever gender they “identify” with are the same ones who tell every Christian about evolution demanding we adhere to “science” as well as to the masses that the “Science is settled” when in the case of transgender were not allowed to discuss it.

The yare enabling confusion and a lot of pain and it is abuse of the highest order.

Fair Warning- if I ever catch a male freak who ‘identifies as a female’ in a restroom with my daughters, they will resemble an actual female before I am done with them.

The Gods Of The Copybook Headings

As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall.
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn.
That water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision, and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorilas while we followed the March of Mankind.

We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither clud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market-Place;
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.

With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch.
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch.
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings.
So we worshiped the Gods of the Market Who promiced these beautiful things.

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promiced perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: ‘Stick to the Devil you know.’

On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promiced the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbor and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: ‘The Wages of Sin is Death/’

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selective Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: ‘If you don’t work you die.’

The the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tounged wizards withdrew,
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to belive it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four-—
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man-—
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began:-—
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Rudyard Kipling

No wonder VT Halter Marine was only fined $29,000 for a massive crane accident. OSHA is too busy coming up with “guidelines” on mentally ill individuals bathroom rights in the workplace.
So much for” safety.”

PS, I am in no way making light of mental illness. In fact, it makes me terribly angry that people with an evil agenda no longer treat this as a serious mental disorder, which it most certainly is.

If I were a guy then when it comes to Jenner I’d be more perturbed if it walked into the mens room dressed like a woman.

Prior to Nazi Germany, the Germans were relatively normal. In a couple years time they went stark raving mad and reversed most of what thy were as a people.

My former attorney. I knew HIM when he was just Ed Krug, ESQ.

A few years ago, my young disabled daughter & I bumped into HIM in the Ladies’ restroom of a local restaurant.

Whatever pre-conceived notions people have about the mentally-disabled, they aren’t dumb - my daughter gave HIM & the entire dining room a VERY vocal lecture on what was wrong wrong wrong about what she’d just witnessed.

To your point....the 1920’s were filled with freewheeling fun until 1929. And we all know what happened then.

The solution is a requirement for one-person, unisex bathrooms in public.

Otherwise, the “rights” of transgender people clearly infringe on the rights of normal people to prevent interaction with them in the most sensitive arenas - like the bathroom.

Oh yea...nail on the head.

Rioting, crime, depravity are on the increase while our stature on the global stage decreases.

Wow...feel like I’m in a novel playing out before our eyes.

Aside from its absurdity, the cost for this “guidance” will grow and grow over time with regular monitoring and reporting activities, and even more “revised” guidance. That’s just how it is with all government programs. Once something starts, its takes on a life of its own. Taxpayers will be spending millions on this in short order.

Don’t expect the GOP congress to de-fund this nonsense. In fact, don’t expect the GOP congress to do anything about anything.

The decay and fall of Rome to barbarians.

I wonder, who will be our “barbarians”? Will it be the islamists, the Chinese, or someone else?

We are watching America disintegrate daily. The lack of civility, the respect for law and outright claiming of rights afforded to only a few people are destroying this country.

They say it is the lack of opportunities that are creating the problem. I think it is the people that refuse to take advantage of the opportunities given to them by this country that is causing the problem. Wallowing in victim hood and waiting for the government to take care of them while they are held in the liberal plantations until needed for the next election is the problem.
