Americans Are Embracing Transgender Rights
Daily Beast ^ | August 25, 2016 | Andrew McGill

Posted on 08/26/2016 7:08:49 AM PDT by C19fan

Change in America is a funny thing. It took two centuries for the country to agree that a black woman could marry a white man. On the other hand, same-sex marriage bans collapsed just a decade after the first state awarded recognition to gay couples. And there’s new evidence that national views are swinging even more quickly when it comes transgender Americans.

This is not about “change” but about purposeful culture degradation through blatant Homo deception: ‘love us, we were born this way.’ Not true, but truth doesn’t matter much any more.

All you libertarians out there who said, I got no dog in this ‘gay marriage’ fight - How did that work out for you and the rest of us???

Normal people have been bamboozled by lying perverted sex addicts such as the gender-confused Ellen DeGeneres whose main goal in life is to convince you that she and her ilk are just like you. (Just ask Anne Heche about predator Ellen)

In fact, they are recruiting boldly and demonically to destroy hetero-based Mommy-Daddy-Children families so that they can have equal access to adopting and screwing up little babies and children.

Their destructive goal is to have all sexual deviancy the new ‘norm’ - they need help, they need Jesus, but won’t get it as long as we all jump on their Lying Bandwagon.

The lgbt people are mentally ill. I don’t “embrace” any illness. I would, however, embrace a cure for lgbt. Or cancer.

That is why Target missed their earnings estimates while Walmart beat theirs in the quarter after Target announced transgender bathrooms.

I hate the lying media.

“Transgender rights”

What does this mean? I mean, what “rights” are we talking about?

This is not the America I once knew and loved.

If by "embracing", McGill means "fleeing like the plague", then yes, I suppose so. If he really thinks Americans are eager to see full-grown men primping in the same rest room as 7-year-old girls, he's delusional.

Sure hope he doesn't get mad at me for calling him a "he". I'm not embracing that "xe" stupidity either.

When they call with a poll and you don’t give the right answers midway through, they hang up.
If you do an online poll and it doesn’t agree, your answers likely get similarly edited.

Polls are reported as news but really used as propaganda.

Your daughter in the locker room showers with a 17 year old boy whose feelings trump her right to privacy.
Your daughter on an overnight trip like the DC trip in 8th grade while the mentally ill boy (or normal boy claiming to be such) gets to spend the night with the girls

Camille Pagalia had an interesting explanation for this - the sexual fetishims getting ever more extreme are the sign of a society in decline. We can’t bother with existential threats, too busy focused on ever more niche and bizarre sexual situations.

Walmart’s family bathrooms are a suitable compromise. Whether a father taking a 3 year old to the bathroom, woman helping husband with the facilities or mentally ill man in there alone, it doesn’t bother anyone else.

* If he feels like a woman, he gets to use women’s bathrooms.
* If he feels like a woman, he gets to use women’s showers and changing rooms.
* If he identifies as a woman, he gets to use the women’s dorms.
* If he identifies as female, he has the right to use women’s shelters.
* If he identifies as female, you can’t apply a male dress code to him.
* If he feels like a female, he can share the girls’ accommodations on an overnight trip.

To add to the insanity of the Title 9 abuse:
* parents don’t have the right to know their child is presenting at school as the opposite gender
* the child or adult doesn’t have to provide medical evidence of having transitioned or even a diagnosis of transgenderism - you say it, they have to accommodate you
* the gender fluid category allows you to say you’re a boy today, girl tomorrow
* criticism of the concept of transgenderism or men abusing it faces the same kangaroo trials as the “rape tribunals” colleges are having; this is separate from a number of people like Dr. Paul McHugh losing their jobs for bringing up that 90%+ of “transgender” children lose those feelings
* in California, New York and I think Massachusetts, if your son says he’s your daughter, you are not legally allowed to get professional help beyond “yes, son, you’re a girl, let’s give hormones”

Hey, the perverts and sickos will be happy.

That’s two important DNC demographics right there.

I’ve already dealt with a mentally ill man sexually harassing me in the bathroom (at now former employer). It kept seeking to go to the restroom when I did, following me when I went to the other side of the building to avoid it. (I was one of the only women on the floor, only one in IT, and it seemed to need the validation of not just in the women’s bathroom but with a female.)
It asked if I was avoiding it and I said yes, because I don’t like sharing a bathroom with IT. It started commenting on how his longer hair, flowery dress, did up makeup and nails made me more of a woman than me. I didn’t reply, so it challenged me, “What do you think makes you more of a woman than me?” “I gave birth to two children and you fathered a son.” It went ballistic, and later I found out it started direct work interference messing with my account access.
When I took it up to HR, they took his side. When it escalated, they still took his side. I took it to ethics, and they referred me back to HR. Only when we had a system outage and I didn’t have the options in my menus to fix it, and it wouldn’t help, did a different system admin get called in. The third party looked at it, fixed it, and I demanded he look at my screen. He asked how I didn’t have all the options, and I said my access has been fluctuating for ages. I took a screen shot, he looked up my permissions and the access control log. Yep, weirdo had been messing with my permissions on a daily basis. I took a screen shot, then sent it to multiple managers and HR and ethics so that no one could turn it into a he-said-she-said-it-said debate. You messed with my access and caused an outage to last two hours longer than it had to.
Then and only then was I able to get reassigned to other duties that didn’t involve IT.
