The interim director of the Georgia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has resigned over the agency's support of the federal directive allowing public-school students to use the bathroom matching their gender identity.
Maya Dillard Smith called it quits on Thursday, saying the transgender ruling comes at the expense of women's civil rights.
"If our goal is to advance the rights of equality of transgender folk, how do we do that, and advance the rights of all people?" Dillard Smith said, according to 11alive.com.
If we have all-gender restrooms which will accommodate trans folks, what do we do about women who are the survivors of rape for whom it would be traumatic to share a public restroom where you take down your underwear, and there'd be men in the bathroom."
Dillard Smith said her daughters had experienced trauma over the issue.
"I have shared my personal experience of having taken my elementary school age daughters into a women's restroom when shortly after three transgender young adults over six feet with deep voices entered," she said in a statement reported by Atlanta Progressive News.

The 20 million dollar question, and another cool $10 million to the brave soul who answers it correctly. There is no possibility of this happening. One will win, and the other will lose. It’s inevitable.
Let's get the narrative right.
Let me guess, someone like that finally seeing how ultimately divisive and self-contradictory that nonsense really is?

Maya, you should have seen this coming. When the government starts creating a labyrinthian system of competing "rights," it gets to set itself up as the arbiter of those "rights." In so doing, the government becomes the power that supposedly grants such "rights" and then just as easily takes them away. They are not rights, but licenses, granted and revoked like a fishing license.
And the real rights we have, granted to us by our Creator, are then denied to us arbitrarily by the government. We become pieces of meat, to be disposed of as the state sees fit.
And Maya, in your role as state director of the Georgia ACLU, you had a hand in making all of it happen. Now it's off to the camps with you, you Trotskyite!
Jeepers Peepers!

Someone once told me that your right to $hit ends at my right not to smell it, well looks that saying applies to this.
Time to play "Who's on Top in the Liberal P.C. Hierarchy?" Transgender seems to come first these days
Then Muslims
Now poor women are at the bottom of the heap. They have to share their bathrooms with perverts and accept getting raped by migrants.
I love it when liberal interest groups fight.

Love of muzzies is the definitely the liberal prime directive.
Karma’s a real bitch, ain’t she?
!!! WHEN LIBERAL VICTIM GROUPS COLLIDE !!!
REALITY BITES!!!
Shows how liberals end up contradicting themselves. I always pick up on it whenever I hear or read them.
Wait until young women get beat out for a position on the basketball or softball team by a man who self identifies as a woman.
Ah the “curse of the 1st born”....it’s taken from Moses plagues on Egypt...the people at the top could handle the inconvience of all the plagues....
except for the 10th plague...when the tragedy became personal and hit their families.
It’s funny how quickly their perspective changes once the reality of the situation directs affects them.
Excellent. This is another opportunity for Trump to gain support from African Americans
Libs claim that won't happen, but I think it's only a matter of time. Every lib policy is always loaded with "unintended consequences" that come home to roost.
