A common sense bathroom guideline that men use mens restrooms and women use women's restrooms has LGBT activists up in arms.
The University of North Carolina (UNC) announced last week that it would comply with state law which requires students to use the correct biological bathroom, rather than choosing which bathroom best suits them, according to a report by the Daily Caller.
UNC President Margaret Spellings confirmed in a memo to the university that the law would be followed on the college campus.
This is what has caused backlash from the LGBT group, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
The organization claimed that the law inflicted "harm" onto students and allowed the university to "discriminate against transgender students by forcing them to use restrooms and other facilities inconsistent with their gender identity."
"This decision by UNC President Margaret Spellings not only inflicts real harm on transgender students in the UNC system, but also risks all federal funding flowing to the university, including federal student loans and grants to the thousands of students attending the state's 17 campuses," said HRC president Chad Griffin. "All students have a right to learn without fear of discrimination, and President Spellings has an obligation to protect them."
The policy gay activists are looking for universities to adopt reflects one that the University of Toronto once had, when men who identified as women could use the women's bathroom.
But, that policy was halted after two incidents of "voyeurism" where male students were caught recording female students in the shower.
Eventually what will happens is that only guys will use females bathroom and guys will use male bathrooms, so basically females will not have a bathroom to use at all
It’s creepy, alright.
That scenario has ALWAYS been part of the landscape.
The thing now is that Bruce Jenner has somehow set the stage to encourage this shit.
My niece (in law) now says she identifies as a man. That’s it. Short hair and she’s a man.
I have long hair and I’m still a man. She wears jeans. Ok, lots of women wear jeans. And she wears t-shirts. you see where this is going.
It’s not about gay/straight, male / female and it’s not about transgender. IT’s about normalcy versus ridiculousness.
These people are ridiculous.
Transvestite IS the word I’m looking for - but I knew the word.
I’m careful to phrasing these days because overnight the definition of “transvestite” went from “Looks like the opposite sex” to “IS the opposite sex” and that’s total bullshit.
I agree with you there.
