Sometime in the near future, a transgender teenager in Texas will attempt suicide — and maybe succeed — because vilifying people for their gender identity remains politically acceptable in America.
The hateful rhetoric of leaders like Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is the latest, ugliest example. Mr. Patrick was ebullient on Tuesday night after it became clear that Houston voters had decidedly rejected a broad equal rights ordinance that opponents maliciously and misleadingly characterized as a boon for cross-dressing sex offenders.

If you are opposed to swinging penises in the young girls locker room you are a hater. The New York Times is at war with teenage girls.
Typical overreaction by the left.
Unfortunately, this topic won’t end in Houston until the feds force them to go against the will of the voters.
Think how many pervs won’t be shot by irate Dads
The left is 100% behind mental illness.
Many of these insane leftist females consider a straight male just looking at them to be rape, but a guy in a dress whipping out his still attached sausage in a women’s bathroom is something that needs to be cemented into law as ok!
Yes, the Liberals who write this crap do not have a very good grasp of reality.
How is not ceding to their every demand “vilifying”?
This is like a South Park episode.
I think Mental Illness is behind much of the left as well.
In a sane world transgendered men would be in psychiatric hospitals, in new America they are in girl’s locker rooms.
Hard to believe that there are still people who willingly attach their brains to the NYT journalistic sewer pipe daily.
Hate? There is no more hate-filled character than a totalitarian leftist encountering disagreement with his/her/its vision for controlling what everyone else thinks, says or does.
When I was a kid, I told my mom I was a puppy dog and not a girl. My mother did not start feeding me dog food, she told me to stop being stupid and go set the table. How many of these people needed to have parents who shut this nonsense down when they were kids?
Exactly.
I’m waiting for the NYT article “In Planned Parenthood, Mining Baby Parts For Profit Trumps Rights For The Most Vulnerable”
This, of course, is exactly what's happening to Obama's Sons in Chicago.
Sounds like Common Sense won the day - again - in Texas. Go Texas! Teach them libs how the world really works.
That is what Post Modernism is all about, destroying accepted sets of beliefs and replacing them with relativism. It is a rather aggressive form of nihilism that creates a vacuum for despotic rule to fill.
If there is no one truth, then whatever the elite dictates must be accepted.
