Letters to the Editor Bathroom bans will lead to trouble when a trans male is forced to use a women’s bathroom - and vice versa

Republicans recently spent millions on ads targeting transgender people who account for about 1% of the population -- for no other reason than to inflate paranoia and deflect from real issues they were not addressing.

Trans individuals have been using bathrooms of the gender they identify with all along. No issues have been reported because these individuals enter the stalls, close and lock the doors, and when they’re done, they wash their hands and leave.

Can you imagine what would happen if a woman who has transitioned to a male identity, dressed as a male, has to go into a women’s restroom because of such a law? Or a man who had transitioned to female had to use a male restroom? I would say chaos would occur. Now, a similar proposal is being made on Capitol Hill by U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace because a trans individual has been elected to represent her state. How insecure and petty

“Republicans recently spent millions on ads targeting transgender people”

No they’re targeting the delusion for their sick desire to want to use the women’s bathrooms, showers and playing in girls sports, caring nothing about the fact that millions of girls feel uncomfortable and threatened.

“Best way to end the trans male using a women’s women’s bathroom with them in it make one stall bathrooms.

No options exist at this time many businesses hang a unisex sign on one stall restrooms to beat the mix and law.

Hey, Cleveland et al, we women aren’t scared of butch women. They aren’t threatening to us.

Being in the bathroom with a male who still has his junk intact, is taller than me, and can kick my ass easily, yes, I’m scared of those men in my restroom. Especially crazy unhinged ones. Especially ones that tell me they’re going to rape me if I don’t want them in my ladies restroom. They don’t belong.

I don’t go into the toilet when my wife is using it and visa versa, now the shower —— well that’s a different answer.

“real issues they’re not addressing” seems to be the lefty’s talking point. Every “reporter” questioning Nancy Mace asked her about that. As if Trump didn’t address immigration, inflation and war every time he opened his mouth. The other talking point is how cross dressers are only. 01 pct of population. So what percent of Americans get an abortion every year? Hmmm?

[jeffc]

One percent of the population? That's generous!

Even so, the question remains: why does one percent of the population get to dictate to the rest of us?

Trannies are inimical to good social order.

Their insistence of violating scientific and societal norms has no acceptable answer.

Better that they had stfu previously and let this sleeping wolf lie.

But having made their issue, they are running into the buzzsaw of science and human nature, neither of which will roll over easily to satisfy their particular bizarreness.

What’s to be normalized next: Cannibalism in restaurants? Why not? Some people were born with a desire to eat their neighbors.

This is a demonstrably, unequivocally false statement. There have been numerous incidents involving "trans" males in girl's/women's bathrooms.

The males, the pretend trans, mostly do this because it gives them pleasure and wood. Autogynephilia is a thing. Seriously, people with these problems need to be locked away from society. Mental institutions need a comeback.
