Transgender advocates fear bill's fallout even if it dies [SC]

Transgender people said Thursday they fear a South Carolina bill that would require them to use the public bathroom for their biological sex will stoke misguided fears and endorse restroom vigilantism, even if the bill ultimately dies as expected.

Opponents told a Senate panel the unenforceable measure perpetuates myths against an already-ostracized community, while supporters contend it’s about protecting the privacy and safety of women and children. […]

No vote was taken during the panel’s second and final hearing. It’s not yet clear whether the full committee will consider the measure. But even if it manages to advance to the Senate floor, Sen. Joel Lourie, D-Columbia, promises to use Senate rules to block debate. House GOP leaders say their chamber won’t deal with the issue before session ends in June anyway. And opponents include Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, who has repeatedly called it unnecessary.

“restroom vigilantism”

Does that mean somebody stands outside the girls room, and anybody that looks suspicious they perform the “Crocodile Dundee Test”, where they grab the nether regions and proclaim “That’s not a Knoife”

Keeping a mentally ill grown man out of the girl’s washroom is now “restroom vigilantism?” This society has gone mad.

Maybe Springsteen and his buddy Steven could patrol the ladies rooms and defend the freaks from those evil “bathroom vigilantes”.

Regardless of any law, any politician, or any stupid boycott... any perverted dude found in a ladies’ room, woman’s locker room, or shower, needs to IMMEDIATELY have his skull bashed in.

I just found out my friend’s daughter who identifies as a man is now living with a man who identifies as a woman.

The girl wears her hair short with baggy pants and loose shirts. The guy wears long hair and dresses and is trying to get his employer to pay for a sex change operation.

I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

I really don’t see what’s so hard about “no men in the women’s bathroom”.

Nobody cares if women are in the men’s bathroom. But the other way around is fraught with serious danger and must be opposed by all men of conscience.

Someone somewhere someday needs to stand up and say “Enough!”. There is only one answer, based on the two types of equipment we are born with. But nobody has the guts to say it.

Years ago, Bob Hope was commenting on California legalizing sodomy. He said he was leaving before they made it mandatory.

.... My guess .... is that it isn't the fallout that will be the problem ...

..... It will be the repercussions by the ensuing abuse by predators that will be the real problem. .... They now believe there is an excuse to hang out in isolated bathrooms ..... Good luck folks.

Just put up signs depicting the two genital types and hire inspectors for each pair of rooms.

I'm sure if they would just turn down the flames a little, no body would bother them in the men's room.

Surely they can stop with the limp wrist and prancing around for a couple of minutes.

Pervert safe spaces.

Govt is allowing insanity to reign.

Time to do away with both. Govt has abdicated its authority y allowing this crap to occur and also having enshrined it into color of law.
