Sorry. But when transgenders seek to intrude on my space, the privacy of a bathroom in this case, they become problematic. Given the prime role communal bathrooms have played in homosexuality, it is not surprising that they are now demanding access to whatever bathroom they fancy. Sick and mutant people should not be patronized in any way.
I think we are missing the point here.
The whole who can use what bathroom as defined by law does have me questioning our conservative views on liberty and freedom.
The left freaks out that we want to be able to carry firearms. We counter with that as long as we aren’t using the firearm to break any laws (and that we have a constitutional right to bear arms) we should be left alone.
The right freaks out that a dude - more often than not dressed like a woman - wants to go pee in the ladies room. They counter with that as long as he/she/it isn’t doing anything illegal (and that there is a constitutional right to privacy) he/she/it should be left alone.
Both actions assume the best in people. The person carrying the firearm will not shoot people. The person using the ladies room will not molest people.
The opposite side assumes the worst. The left thinks anyone “crazy” enough to want to carry a gun is going to use it in a violent way - and besides, guns make them very, very nervous. The right thinks that anyone “crazy” enough to dress like a woman is going to molest people - and besides, men dressed like women make us very, very nervous.
As a person on the right, I do not agree that the constitution has a right to privacy in it.
A person on the left will argue that the 2nd Amendment doesn’t guarantee the individual right to bear arms.
Anyway...when I want to cut the Gordian knot, I use a sword called liberty. I would hope my conservative brothers and sisters would do the same...
