President Barack Obama, the titular head of the LGBT movement, has added to the firestorm of confusion, misunderstanding, and fury surrounding the transgender bathroom debate by threatening schools with loss of federal funding unless they allow students to join the sex-segregated restroom, locker room, and sports teams of their chosen gender, without regard to biological reality.
I know firsthand what it’s like to be a transgender person—and how misguided it is to think one can change gender through hormones and surgery.
His action comes after weeks of protests against the state of North Carolina for its so-called anti-LGBT bathroom bill.
As someone who underwent surgery from male to female and lived as a female for eight years before returning to living as a man, I know firsthand what it’s like to be a transgender person—and how misguided it is to think one can change gender through hormones and surgery.
And I know that theNorth Carolina bill and others like it are not anti-LGBT.
“L” is for lesbian. The bill is not anti-lesbian because lesbians have no desire to enter a stinky men’s restroom. Lesbians will use the women’s room without a second thought. So the law is not anti-L.
“G” is for gay. Gay men have no interest in using women’s bathrooms. So the law is not anti-G.
“B” is for bi-sexual. The “B” in the LGBT have never been confused about their gender. Theirs is also a sexual preference only that doesn’t affect choice of restroom or locker room.
“T” is for transgender. The “T” identifies a person who has undergone hormone therapy and gender reassignment surgery, and legally changes the gender marker on his or her birth certificate.
The North Carolina law is not anti-T because the law clearly states that the appropriate restroom is the one that corresponds to the gender stated on the birth certificate. Therefore, a transgender person with a birth certificate that reads “female” uses the female restroom, even if the gender noted at birth was male.
So, you see, the law is not anti-LGBT. What then is all the uproar about?
“... Barack Obama, the titular head of the LGBT movement...”
Obama isn’t head of anything...He is just using the office to create chaos and discord among Americans...He doesn’t care anything about this “movement”...Only the opportunity it gives him to create more problems and disagreements among the people...
Later.
I think this may be the guy I saw interviewed. He helps at Hopkins with the treatment of the mental dosorder
The author missed the point. Obama and the dems are beyond LBGT in this case. They are now making decrees based on gender IDENTITY.
There are profound impacts public policy mandates actions based on what people THINK they are rather than what they are.
And so many foolish people take the bait....
Hey, I have always said that if there is a woman that wants to be middle linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers and she is physically able to do it , she should be able to.
But the reverse doen’t always hold true. Men are usually physically stronger than women and just because a man decides that he wants to be on a woman’s basketball team he should not be allowed to do so.
It’s not what citizens want. It’s what Obama wants. He’s more anal-centric than a gay porn producer.
Former? Mental illness.
LOL I remember when “blowing a tranny” meant serious car trouble.
Any male who FEELS that he is a female needs to reach down and FEEL again!
A transgender is a person who has artificially changed their outlook. This is their point of view, not their gender. Now if they can get a doctor to say the presiding doctor at the birth made a mistake when they were born and was wrong about the call, then that will fix it. But that’s not a transgender, that’s a mistake and it is corrected. But they will still be using the restroom designated for them, not either.
