Can We Stop Freaking Out Over Trump's Bathroom Comments?
EEE | 21 APRIL 2016 | EEE

Posted on 04/21/2016 3:42:46 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

Here's what Trump said:

“Leave it the way it is. North Carolina, what they’re going through with all the business that’s leaving, all of the strife — and this is on both sides. Leave it the way it is.” He continued, “There has been so little trouble. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic — I mean, the economic punishment that they’re taking.”

(1) Where exactly, did Trump stand up for the rights of male perverts and trannies to take a whiz or go #2 alongside with or do worse things to little girls and defenseless women?

(2) Does NC (and other states) not have existing laws that punish offenders who engage in sexual exploitation of children or lewd sexual activities in public restrooms?

All Trump is saying is that trannies, feminine men, perverts, sickos, etc have been using male or female bathrooms for eons and no one has batted an eye up until now, when it's an election year and leftist groups foolishly believe that they can create a Todd Akin-narrative to portray Republicans and conservatives as anti-transgendered or anti-discrimination or something - and right on cue you have Rafael Cruz and other gutless Republicans who didn't stand with the NC Governor on this or did jack squat when SCOTUS decreed homo marriage on all 50 states - yapping like Yorkshires and pathetically playing the Left's game.

Trump simply did not take the bait. He is saying that NC shouldn't have went through the hassle of making new law when existing laws and mores served just fine and violators would be punished under current law.

So now, Christian conservatives are angry and threatening to stay home in a snit because Trump didn't just state the obvious truth that biological men should use the Men's restroom and women should use the Women's restroom (And I wished he would have. BTW - I do NOT agree with Trump on this, but merely posting his reasoning behind his statement) and leftists are upset because they won't have a narrative to club Trump over the head with throughout the election.

Both sides lost, which is EXACTLY what Trump wanted.

Now hopefully, Trump can continue to talk about the real issues that matter and disregard these questions that are designed to alienate social conservative support from him.

His true colors are he loves America and is not going to let this NON-ISSUE stop his saving our country.

Not a one of the Cruz supports can honestly say Cruz is pro-American, not with his history.

"All they have to do is go to the bathroom they are supposed to use. You don’t build new bathrooms for them, period!"

You made Trump's case perfectly. If the bathroom use is kept the way it is, as it has for eons, you don't build new "unisex" bathrooms, dressing room and showers. People use the bathroom they are supposed to, and if you are cross-dressed, you make sure you do not expose your private parts or use that public facility for your voyeuristic opportunity. Exhibitionism and voyeurism are regulated and are unlawful.

When he said leave it as it is he had just talked about the expense of building new bathrooms and how that discriminated against transgenders. When he said leave it as it is he was referring to the law against transgenders using the bathroom they identify with. So he meant leave it where they can use any bathroom so we don’t have to go through the expense of building special bathrooms and descriminating against them.

I thought the way you did at first until I saw the actual context where he thought they we’re being decriminated against.

No its not a winning issue. The fact is the GayStapo is infested in media government etc and can do massive damage to the campaign. This removed the gay issue from the dems and their media...

First who is going to be appointed to check gender at the bathroom door? Hard to enforce a law that one can’t prove has been broken. Stalls are private.

And as you said no responsible adult would let a child go unaccompanied into any public restroom! Same sex perverts are dangerous.

No transgender should be allowed in a locker room as the equipment would be on full display there!

No he did not welcome him to the girls room, he avoided millions in law suits. No Business man in New York is going to fall on that sword. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Look, if you want this country to go completely to hell, all you have to do is keep trying to let Cruz and the GOPe blow up the party. Then Hillary waltz’s in to the whitehouse and gets to appoint a whole bunch of liberal judges. We’ll also lose the senate and have no way to block her. Presto we are in hell.

Tell that to the people in Washington State where it is now legal for trans to enter women’s locker rooms. People are focused on the bathrooms and how their is privacy with stalls. Men are now allowed to access women’s locker rooms & showers in Washington State including at schools.

People question why NC needed to pass a law — this is the reason and it will be coming to your state sometime soon.

That was my question. Was there an issue being addressed.

For the perv part - the NC law created the situation that a fully trans ‘man’ with a penis would be required to use the ladies room. The law didn’t actually resolve the so-called perv issue.

So when this trans ‘man’ with a penis is in the ladies room and gets kicked out then what? Lawsuit.

I don’t think they resolved anything and created a lot of problems for the state.

I basically agree with Trump. He isn’t saying NC has no right to pass a law he’s saying he doesn’t know that its necessary as so far it has not caused big problems.

How many trannies have you seen in the ladies room lately? I have seen none. Have not seen any news reports of it either. Maybe it won’t ever be a big problem. If it is then you deal with it.

My internet was off almost all day yesterday and today I haven’t had time to read much news.

If you have a link to the interview or info about it so I can find a link, I’d appreciate it, I want to help some people unknot their undies.

I think you forgot this:

Trump said during a TODAY show town hall event that he believes transgender people should “use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate.”

This is a big deal. If you have small daughters it is a REALLY big deal.

There are existing laws in place for this. Where or how did trannnies/perverts/ladyboys go to the bathroom before?

Ted Cruz is extreme to want a law to make it illegal for a 12 year old gang rape victim to get an abortion after being attacked.. and so is everybody else who agrees with that.

How about Jesus? Would he be considered extreme as well?
