Things have really gone down the toilet. Literally. Corporate America, the bastion of all things ethical, is now forcing its public potty policies on the rest of America. Why do state legislatures need to even waste time on deliberating over whether men use mens bathrooms and women use womens? Oh, because, in our gender-challenged culture, the needs of a deeply confused 0.1% of the population must upend a practice so common sense even a child understands it. In fact, its children who will end up being the ones most threatened.
I love all people. I just dont love all their politics. Call me crazy, but we have a really hard time, as a nation, keeping our actual constitutional rights protected. Im not a fan of trampling our First Amendment religious freedom rights and 14th Amendment equal protection rights with inherently unconstitutional and unequal Sexual Freedom rights.
Just a little reality check....
Would we let a male gym teacher, who self-identifies as a woman, shower with our daughters during gym class? Then why should he be able to at any other public facility under innocuously named inclusion bills?
Would a parent ask a complete stranger (pick any random male in the food court of a mall) to take an 11-year-old daughter to the bathroom? Then why would we voluntarily send her in with one under discriminatory anti-discrimination LGBT legislation?
Would we allow hormonally hyped high school teens, at whim, to decide which locker room they will use according to their gender-identity-du-jour (all, of course, which requires absolutely no evidence but a verbal say-so). Then why do we allow local city ordinances and school boards to make these gender-gutting guidelines a reality?
This is what LGBT rights groups are demanding. Defying all things science, they demand we ignore the irrefutable truth that biological sex is binary. Instead, lets talk about feelings and being a victim because a urinal causes a gender-confused person irreparable harm. Never mind the real harm that could come to women and young girls because we decided that their privacy means nothing...that their equal treatment under the law isnt as equal as their self-identifying, non-biologically-female counterparts.
Before an LGBT activist spits a rainbow, Im not saying that every transgender person is violent, but demanding men have full access to womens bathrooms (regardless of whether they can prove their trans cred or not) creates an understandable atmosphere of concern. Most Americans, especially parents, understand this.
Corporate bullies, like sweatshop-empire Nike and well-do-business-in-countries-like-Saudi-Arabia-that-treat-women-like-subhuman-garbage Apple, felt emboldened by their win when Indianas GOP and Republican Governor Mike Pence caved faster than Obamas wrist raised high by dictator Raúl Castro. What was meant to reinforce our First Amendment protections of religious liberty in a Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) became a victory for those hell-bent on trampling any constitutional rights that defy the LGBTQXYZ agenda.
Georgia GOP undermined themselves by passing a watered down RFRA version to appease the gods of Big Commerce. But the gods were not satisfied. They demanded to be the porcelain Kings (or Queens) of public potty policy. The biological-male-dominated NFL, which still cant figure out how to treat victims of their players domestic violence with equality, is using the whole Super Bowl carrot stick to threaten the Peach state. Actually, I heard one of their players was using that same stick to beat his girlfriend, but hell get away with it again. Its his 5th offense. But hes too valuable to bench. Shhhhhh.
Oh, and Hollywood is threatening to boycott Georgia. Nothing like the land of make-believe trying to force its morality on the real world. By the way, I notice that the Oscars still recognize binary gender in their separate male and female award categories. Disney, which relies on children who are the result of the natural union of biological males and biological females, wont have this kind of inequality in modern-day America! They wont do business in Georgias growing film industry. But they will be opening their new theme park in a country that has killed millions of its own dissident citizens—China—that doesnt give a damn about inequality and brutally forces women to abort their babies via the barbaric One-Child-now-supposedly-Two-Child policy. Oh, but defending religious liberty—now thats dangerous!
North Carolina is feeling the furious swings of Corporate bullies, too. Im particularly amused by the NBAs threat to withdraw the All-Star Game from the pro-transgender city of Charlotte. The citys illegal anti-discrimination policy was the reason the state legislature passed the common sense, bi-partisan House Bill 2. It reiterates that State law does not include sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression in statewide policy dictating bathrooms/changing rooms, access to public accommodations or employment and contracting. It affirms discrimination is unlawful based upon biological sex, not the ever-fluid categories that LGBT activists are splashing in relentless rainbow colors across the country.
The hypocrisy of these Corporate bullies is, in the immortal words of Princess Brides Vizzini, inconceivable! To the NBA, I just want to say this: If gender is merely a perception, then please--by all means--stop segregating your mens and womens teams. In fact, the WNBA isnt really included on the NBAs website except for minor mentions on the bottom of the homepage. They might as well be in the back of the bus. Oh, but wait, the NBA is all about inclusion. Im sure the men of the NBA share locker rooms with the women of the WNBA. Oh, wait. They dont.
In the end, American corporations efforts to push public policy that puts anyone in danger, ignores basic biology or denies us of guaranteed constitutional rights simply needs to be flushed.
This is all we need.
Or we could just have 3, Mens, Womens, Mentally Ill.
This should be adequate. Or have the penis door and the vagina door if we want to drive that point home.
I can’t believe we are even forced to have to debate this issue.
There are slippery slopes we go down, and this is one of them. In our zeal to appease homosexuals and grant homosexual rights, now we are going down the list of all of the dreams of the “LGBT” peoples. You thought they would be happy with homosexual marriage and decide their lives are now complete due to nationwide homosexual marriage??? Apparently we haven’t seen anything yet.
We’re going to slide some more down a slippery slope.
It’s not too far fetched to see judges get involved too, and some liberal judge somewhere declare that the men’s room and the ladies room are unconstitutional discrimination against the LGBT peoples somehow.
I agree with you.
But I think a “free-fire zone” 3rd bathroom would make this clear. The perverts involved (mostly men who are either confused—best case—or taking advantage of this crazy situation) could use the free-fire option. But, there should be regular bathrooms for people who don’t want to be disturbed or observed.
Because we are morally and intellectually flaccid.
I’m not sure male and female toilets is a Constitutional issue.
In this case, the people will decide and mostly it will be women who decide. If enough men start going into women’s restrooms (and I advocate that they do for civil disobedience) ... I guarantee you 100% that women will get this issue resolved in the State laws.
That said, men could already go into women’s restrooms and have done. Women know a sign on the door is not going to protect them. Best defense for women is to carry.
It’s not about fairness or equity. It’s all about forcing the public to question their value system and to deny what they have always known: that there are two sexes, and that they must work together to conceive, give birth to, nurture and raise children.
It is to force people to accept the insane idea that gender is a continuum, within which people can move freely, and that they can change the gender that “was assigned to them at birth.”
Insanity.
How many of the wealthy and powerful pushing these pro-sexual pervert policies are closet sexual freaks themselves?
They always think they hide their perversion well but usually show it in various ways.
Just look how Obama reacts every time the issue of homosexuality arises.
Which side does he always support?
These idiot corporations will soon find that women will do less shopping in their stores. They won’t want to spend a few hours at a mall if they are afraid to use the restrooms.
Gender neutral bathrooms won’t do for the LGBT radicals. They would still say that is discriminatory. They won’t rest until they have their own way on every issue. They are evil.
I still would like to know when it became accepted that transgender is real. It’s absurd. Nobody is born in the wrong body. I may believe I’m a bird, but I can’t grow feathers and people would rightly say I’m nuts for thinking that I’m anything other than the way I was born.
Just make every john and one-holer. Deviants still won’t like it.
Off to sensitivity school for you. A guy was just arrested in UK for tweeting bad things about mudslimes.
How about the XX who thinks she's an XY, going into the BR with your daughter?
Or the XY who likes little boys?
No place is safe any more, no matter what's written on the door
Exactly. I will not shop or do business at a place that has multi-stall ‘gender neutral’ restrooms.
Already too many places have single use restrooms which waste a lot of space and are usually not as well maintained and cleaned as multiple use restrooms (with obvious exceptions). Long waits at the door and often messy with pee on the floor etc when you get inside. Also in single use restrooms people are not as tidy as they are when in restrooms with others in them. They leave diapers and worse on the floor or don’t flush because there is no others there to see what they are doing.
Single use restrooms make sense in smaller establishments with not enough traffic to warrant mulit-use dual sex restrooms, say a small café or a doctor’s office.
This won’t be a problem when the muslims get here.
That's a great idea - require each tem to have at least two female players on the court at all times.
It will be fun to watch NBA attendance drop 90%. :)
for later
I guess I don’t get what the problem is. Why can’t these lgbt guys just go into the men’s room, do their business and leave? What is it they’re claiming that’s bothering them about using a men’s room - if they have the “parts”, they have to be used to seeing them, so it can’t be that. So, what is it?
That is true. Public restrooms have always been potentially unsafe for women and children. Particularly out of the way locations without much traffic. Women have always had to be cautious about the restrooms they use and consider many factors before taking the chance. That is why for me this is less about safety than about common decency and decorum.
