I have a transgendered person in my family, and I want to first acknowledge that people with this disorder go through a great amount of mental anguish and always have my sympathy. That said, basically the whole point of this law is to ensure that people who have a certain mental issue are comfortable in their surroundings at all times. Well, what if we extended that to other mental issues? Some people believe that the CIA is beaming mind control waves at them which can be stopped by metal shielding. Should the walls of all public areas be overlayed with tin foil so they willl feel comfortable?

Be ready, because if we don't stop this the day is coming when they will tell you your church is illegal unless they are willing to hire transgendered and openly gay ministry staff. If revival doesn't come, persecution will. Read up on Richard Wurmbrand and be ready to follow his path.

There are links to further information at the source document.

Why does a transgendered male have to wear a dress to go into a woman’s locker room? Aren’t woman allowed to wear gym shorts and t-shirts?

Montgomery County officials passed this law despite the fact that citizens opposed it by an eight-to-one margin. The good news is that concerned citizens have gathered enough signatures to put the issue on the November ballot.
Come November, it should just be this issue on the ballot.

If all those "Montgomery County officials" aren't kicked out of office, then it means eight-out-of-nine Montgomery County residents are too stupid to vote.

How do you tell a transgendered person from a Peeping Tom? Do they wear Scarlet T’s?

“...they will tell you your church is illegal unless they are willing to hire transgendered and openly gay ministry staff.”

Is something similar not already happening in this country? I understand that, in certain places, Catholic hospitals (pro-life) have been istructed to make provisions for abortion facilities.

I don’t mean to sound like an arsehole, but when when start getting raped, their opinions on things like this will change, and you’ll see them marching in the streets.

How about the people without those mental issues feeling comfortable in their surroundings? Does my daughter need to be exposed to freaks and perverts during her most private moments? Does she need to diagnose someone's mental state before reacting? Can any man in an Easter bonnet and wig walk in to coed showers unchallenged now?

This is outrageous. The only way this will end is in "hate crimes" when people try to take back reality from the ACLU and the rest of teh freaks.

So, teenagers don't need to peer through a plumbing hole into the girls shower anymore. Just put on a dress and walk in. If anyone says anything, just claim to be a woman locked in a mans body.

Something tells me there will be a lot of dirty old men buying dresses and mascara.

I don’t see where this idiotic law even requires a dress. Seems to me it says that anyone who “is feeling transgendered at the moment” is entitled to go into any restroom or locker room they like, and since there is clearly no reliable test for whether someone who SAYS they’re feeling this way actually is, the law is eliminating any legal distinctions between sexes for this purpose.

There are a lot of people who genuinely are anatomically and/or genetically transgendered, and they deserve every reasonable measure of support that individual members of a free society can muster. But the law needs to deal with this on an individual basis, with legitimate medical grounds for classifying someone as one or the other or a genuine hybrid.

"people who have a certain mental issue are comfortable in their surroundings at all times."

Why does their comfort supersede the comfort of anyone else? You refer to it as a mental issue. But they claim they are normal. Of course, most folks with mental issues deny they have any issues.

That is what she (assuming she is a liberal like the majority of Montgomery County - it looks like the land of enacted Obama/Hillary public policie) gets for voting for the liberals in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Tell her not to fret...Montgomery County has got it under control. They know what is best for the public (no santa claus, no smoking in residences, no trans fat, no graduations at church facilities, no praying on school premises, homo sex education, and etc.) .

Like in several other Montgomery County public locations, there is probably a "gang hot line" (MS13 gang violence is a big issue) phone that can be utilized in case of a "transgendered" locker room emergency.

Anyways...liberals have been telling us for years that there is no difference between the sexes...what is the big deal?

I think we should feel sympathy for these people. But facts are facts. Whatever a person may “feel,” and whatever operations they may have performed upon themselves, they will remain the same sex they were born with.

It’s a sad business, but it helps no one to pretend that reality can be changed or adjusted to fit your preferences.

And the politicians who use these people for their political advantage are beyond disgusting.

My sympathy and prayers to you and your family. Mental illnesses are tragic. Not well understood, nor treated.
But you right, although this is a burden that the person (and family) will have to bare, there really is no sense in pretending its 'normal'. Nor allowing this nonsense of providing equal access to common bathroom/shower facilities because someone with this affliction 'feels' better in women's clothing. Don't ridicule the person -- but don't delude him into believing that 'all is well' ... because it is not. Prayers, patience, and love are in order -- but not deceit.

In part, this shows the power of language (mainly it demonstrates stupidity).

Self-styled “progressives” made substituted “gender” for “sex” — on the basis that “gender” is a social construct. They might be right about “gender” being a social construct — it’s all in how you define “gender” — but, they’ve taken it a step further, and now insist that “sex” is a social construct (rather than biologically determined).

If you are whatever “gender” you think you are (and, by extension, in the muddled logic of “progressives”, also whichever “sex” you wish to be at the moment), then — well then, for a start, you have no shower room barriers.

Sounds like the Equal Opportunity For Perverts Act.

As we create more and more "rights" for shall we say the oddballs in society, we put them on equal footing with a normal lady using a restroom. Next thing that happens is the normal lady ends up in court having to "explain" why she is discriminating against the poor oddball who just wants to be treated like everyone else. So now your mom is a lawbreaker for thinking she is entitled to common decency.
