A county ethics commission in Maryland has determined that if you make negative statements about transgenderism, your word is not reliable.
The stunning conclusion, now under appeal at a state ethics panel, was made by the Montgomery County Ethics Commission and signed by member Nina Weisbroth in a four-year-old dispute over an effort to hold a referendum on the county’s adoption of what’s become known as the “coed showers” bill.
The law provides “discrimination” protections for transgenders, and critics say it opens up virtually all of the county – from shower rooms to restrooms to other private areas – to anyone who states he or she is of a certain gender. For example, a man dressing as a woman would be allowed, under penalty of discrimination laws, into a women’s locker room, shower room or restroom.
Opponents set out to collect signatures on a petition to demand that the law be put to a vote of the people and later filed a complaint over one of the originators of the bill, county council member Duchy Trachtenberg’s assistant, Dana Beyer, a transgender.
How did America come to fighting over transgenderism? Read “HOW EVIL WORKS” by best-selling author David Kupelian.
According to a video of the incident, Beyer attempted to intimidate citizens collecting signatures that would put the law up to a vote.
The issue was presented to the county ethics board because of Beyer’s connections to authorities in the county and the alleged threats of retaliation against those who want to have people vote.
The ethics panel in the county, however, disregarded several statements, because the witnesses to the incident exhibited “palpable and unapologetic disdain for transgendered individuals.”
That, the ethics panel said, makes the testimony “not credible.”

It would be difficult to imagine -anyone- who is not aware of shrinkage, either first-hand, or second-hand.
So to speak.
Great, so if I go grab a $15 Vera Wang scarf, I can claim I'm "just starting my journey" and wander into the woman's locker room? These people are idiots for not seeing the door they just opened - literally and figuratively.
Woo,Wee! This is right up my alley!
But let me share a story. When I was in college (early 70's) I visited a friend at his dorm at MIT. The dorm had been all-male, but that year it had gone co-ed. The bathrooms (one to a floor) were initially alternately marked with paper signs as "MEN" (1st, 3rd, 5th,...floors) and "WOMEN" (2nd, 4th,... floors).
These things happened in a matter of two weeks:
BUT THAT WAS TWO NORMAL PEOPLE, OF THE CORRECT SEXES, WHO WERE NOT CONFUSED ABOUT THEIR SEXUALITY.
The part about this misbegotten, wrong-headed law that gets to me is -- the people who are disrupting the order are by definition CONFUSED about their SEXUALITY. In my opinion they present a significant potential threat -- NOT ONLY to the normal people who use sex-separated facilities by choice, but ALSO to those of us who don't much care if a normal person of the other sex sees us, but who are bothered by some deve ogling us while we shower.
This law is wrong, top to bottom.
Based on your story —and I’m 66, so I lived through thesixties and seventies— you’re a female then?
> A grammer school run by UCLA 50 years ago had a unisex bathroom that didn’t even have stalls, just toilets lined up along the wall.... what I was referring to was the corruption of children by a university 50 years ago. That restroom didn't even have a door on it so the toilets were visible to anyone at that school.
That's criminal, IMO. I agree with you completely, those were kids!!
The story I shared about MIT was about adults -- all over 18, and the reassignment of the bathrooms was entirely by their own choice.
Oh, shoot, what did I write that led to that conclusion? :)
Nope, I'm 100% male. Always have been, always will be.
Will this work for me?
People who want privacy are entitled to it. Concocting some law to force people to be viewed by screwed-up wackos is horrible.
Some idiot woman managed to unlock my bathroom stall then said “I’m sorry” several times while she stared and so slowly closed the door.
Are you willing to check your dingdong at the door? If not, I think the ladies in the room might have a right to object. :)
Or perhaps take a poll of the ladies first. "Hey, do y'all mind if I bring this in with me?"
Nah, didn't think that would work... IMO, if you still got it, you ain't a lady.
Whew, the faggots have really been pushing their luck in recent years, thanks mainly to their Democrat enablers. ...The military has been sodomized, children in the Massachusetts government schools are taught about “fisting”, children in the California government schools are required to learn about the alleged contributions of every variety of sexual perverts, bathrooms and showers in Maryland are now effectively unisex and open to all, states are approving gay “marriages” and giving taxpayer-funded benefits to “partners”... Wow.
Keep a close eye on your kids, everybody.
Yep, no kidding.
And if the soap drops on the floor in the shower, ... let it lie there, and get a fresh bar.
Dang it, guess it won’t work. :) Goes with me everywhere.
This is just such a silly subject I cannot believe rational people are proposing it. Oh, but they are not rational.
Are you SURE it was a woman?
Yeah, I got one that acts like that, too. But on the plus side, unlike say my wallet, I never forget and leave home without it...
> This is just such a silly subject I cannot believe rational people are proposing it. Oh, but they are not rational.
They are not only not rational, they are intentionally disrupting the natural order of things.
They are troublemakers in the house of civilization.
Your story makes me wonder why the feminazis aren’t more upset about this. We all know that this law will result in a bunch of dudes donning dresses and wigs and heading to the ladies’ restrooms with a cell phone camera.
I think perhaps even the feminists will become upset, in time. The "unintended consequences" of this law may be too radical even for them.
a transgendered, lesbian, crossdresser!!!
thats the ticket!!!
