The Real-World Consequences of Submitting to the Transgender Zeitgeist

Last week, a member of my Orthodox Jewish congregation approached me at synagogue to tell me a story. Many of the women in the congregation exercise at a females-only gym for modesty purposes. The gym is successful; its main constituency is religious women who don’t wish to be stared at by men, or to see men in various states of undress.

According to the congregation member, this month, a transgender woman — a biological male who suffers from gender dysphoria — came to the gym. This man, who retains his male biological characteristics, then entered the locker room and proceeded to disrobe. When told by management that he could use a private dressing room, he refused, announcing that he was a woman and could disrobe in front of all the other women.

The predictable result: Many of the actual biological women began cancelling their memberships. When the management asked people higher in the chain, they were simply told that to require the man to use a private dressing room or to reject his membership would subject the company to litigation and possible boycott. So the gym will simply have to lose its chief clientele because a man with a mental disorder believes he has the right to disrobe in front of women.

As it turns out, there are indeed public-policy consequences to the question of transgender pronouns. Those public-policy questions all revolve around a central issue: Can subjective perception trump objective observation? If the answer is yes, tyranny of the individual becomes the order of the day. We all must bow before the subjective wants, needs, and desires of people who require special protection from life’s realities. We must reeducate generations of people to ignore science in favor of feelings.

In the bigger picture this is the result of the 14th amendment. It centralized power in Washington to tell states how they must run things in the name of equality. The reasons for it's passage have been satisfied and now it only serves to give a ruling clique of 9 judges near dictatorial power over the entire country. Gay marriage and transwhatevers should be a state by state issue.

So the gym will simply have to lose its chief clientele because a man with a mental disorder believes he has the right to disrobe in front of women.

This I do not understand. The gym deserves to go out of business for catering to the neuroses of a tiny minority and disregarding the wishes of its majority clientele. Why worry about a boycott by people who weren't your customers and were never gonna be (except for the one fool who ran all the women off)?

Most homosexuals were molested as children and many come from a home with an emotionally distant father and domineering mother. There is no biological cause.

Maybe the gym could change its name to “Cisgender Women’s Gym.” Worth a try.

To resolve the issue...how about we do DNA testing on those individuals that either want to Removeadikfrom me, and those who want an Adadictome and see where the X’s and Y’s fall?

Exactly right. No matter what a gay, or a transgender claims about his imagined “sexuality” the DNA would come back his sex at birth.

No matter what Bruce Jenner now identifies as, or what he does to his appearance his DNA would come back male.

I am increasingly finding that Scripture is completely consistent with science while the satanic sciences of psychology, sociology, and anthropology consistently conflict with bible teachings.

I am a conservative Christian woman, and always preferred a “Ladies Only” gym.

In the good-old-days, such things were allowed and we were able to work out and stay fit without this nonsense.

... a transgender woman — a biological male who suffers from gender dysphoria mental disease — came to the gym.

Remember back when people like this were institutionalized? Have we gained anything by letting these folks run free? Does not appear so to me.

“No matter what Bruce Jenner now identifies as, or what he does to his appearance his DNA would come back male.”

Too much Schadenfreude to ignore those soulless golem Kardashian’s shunning old Bruce now that he’s gone full lesbo with another tranny. Him gargling down a vodka tonic at 9 in the morning when he and his Barbie doll got burned off their Malibu hilltop was hilarious. Then last week the Thanksgiving family photo with the “other” kids and Barbie looked like she wanted to disappear lofl!

Many of them are rooted in spiritual causes instead.

The husbands and sons of these women could take care of it pretty quick.

Many of the “acts” are similacrum of hetero sex acts
