After embracing the notion that gender is as much mental as it is physical, the Obama White House on Tuesday rejected the suggestion that it has been particularly aggressive on transgender issues.
“This is a confrontation that Republicans have sought out rather cynically, because they are seeking a political advantage,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters at Tuesday's briefing.
Earnest said Republicans in North Carolina started the controversy by passing legislation (HB2), which negated a Charlotte city ordinance allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice. …

We have a mental case in the Oval Office.
We have bigger fish to fry than championing mental illness in sexual matters.
Bathroom Barry started all this and everyone knows it.
Earnest is probably a perv as well as his lord and master..
They not only expect us to accept the abomination, they expect us to like it.
Earnest said Republicans in North Carolina started the controversy by passing legislation (HB2), which negated a Charlotte city ordinance allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice. …
Correction: the liberals in Charlotte started the controversy, by passing a city ordinance which went too far. So the state passed a law to restore the status quo.
See what they are doing? They are accusing the Republicans/conservatives of starting this controversy, when it was the liberals who decided to pick this fight. They are the ones who started it by passing the Charlotte ordinance to start with.
Facts don’t matter to liberals.
“...legislation (HB2) which negated a Charlotte city ordinance...”
Which came first Josh? The ordinance or the legislation negating it?
The importance of being Josh Earnest.
So who led that Charlotte City ordinance? Three guesses. First two don’t count!
Obama: “Do as I say and no one gets hurt.”
I think the NC bill predated the White House involvement. Both sides of course are cynically seeking publicity over a meaningless issue rather than solving the problems of the country.
Target company stock drops another 6.70 a share today,down to 66.89 a share.They were at 86.00 a share 1 month ago.What is the difference?Oh thats right Target decided transgenders,pedophiles and perverts were more important that 99.7 percent of thier shoppers.Thats a loss of 20.00 a share or a loss of 20 billion dollars.Go Target!
Ding ding ding....we have a winner! Exactly right Dilbert San Diego!
Thank you for your post! You are so right.
The liberal mayor of Charlotte, Jennifer Roberts, is the one to blame! She and her gender confused buddy pushed the ordinance. It turns out he (or is it she or is it who knows) is a minister who was abusing young boys in his church. He is a registered sex offender. Birds of a feather.
The two of them pushed the city council to pass the ordinance. Even though they had been warned it would be overturned by the state Roberts wanted to use the ordinance to attack the Republican controlled legislature. She has caused millions of dollars of damage, lost revenue and lost jobs, to the city and to the state.
At this point I am so sick of this issue that I am angry at NC for starting this crap.
Things were fine before. This should not be an issue. It is always wrong for rapists/peeping toms to be in the woman’s restroom. Drop this law and let’s drop this issue.
Trans women have been using women’s restrooms since the 1970s. Big butch lesbians who identify as female but it can be hard to tell are also using the woman’s restroom. Gay men are (often quite creatively) using the men’s room, no matter how flaming.
And my special needs boy is 13 and will NOT go alone into the men’s room (and since he can’t speak I can’t leave him alone outside in some places) so he is coming with me into the woman’s room! He can’t defend himself so I’m not sending him into most big men’s rooms.
Restroom pervs are rare and you can’t stop them all, like you can’t stop all bank robbery. And no one should care about the genitalia of the person in the next stall.
You can’t tell me that the ordinance in Charlotte wasn’t spearheaded by the phagg in the white house.
So if Republicans would just let Democrats do whatever they want we would have no controversies? Do I have that right, Josh ?
Some salt for the wound they inflicted...
It’s their standard M.O.
Defense is, of course, redefined in the New Politically Correct Lexicon as aggression.
No, the obama WH created a non-existent issue out of thin air, for the sole purpose of trying to provoke a negative response, and using it as a tool to issue more government decrees over a non-existent issue.
In not so many words: obama is trying to piss off the Christians, and force them to retaliate like his muslim kin would.
This will backfire on them in the worst possible way.
