(McDonald's beating victim) Transgender Hate Crime Draws Attention to MD Legislation

Ms. Magazine ^ | 25 April

Yeah, those newly renovated McDonald's have Women's bathrooms with Marble Floors, Makeup Mirrors and Bidets. /s

I wonder if the Bathroom Attendant noticed anything funny.

[Kickass Conservative]

At first glance I assume a guy would be thinking he was living a Penthouse Forum topic.

After careful consideration and squinting eyes because of the florescent bathroom lighting, the same guy would think he was being punked by Ashton Kutcher.

I have no clue what your answer means, but I thank you for it.

Just answering the “what would you do if the Transsexual walked into the Men's room?” question in your original post with a bit of levity.

Didn't mean to offend.

“That’s one ugly cleaning woman. They should call out a warning before they come in to clean the please, in case someone is inside using the restroom.”

Given the picture, I do not believe I would mistake this individual for a woman. My opinion is that men in the men's room would register something akin to "disgust", but respect the fact that bathroom breaks are necessary and this is the place for a man to do it. As for women, I think something akin to "furious" is more likely. If a man were wearing a Halloween costume and walking into the ladies room, should he be made welcome? I think not. If I see a man in a blouse and a wig sneaking into the lady's room, I'm dialing the police. He's no lady, just another pervert.

Chrissy Polis is prettier, at least in that picture, than the sex-changing guy at work. We generally look him straight in the eye, or at least straight in the mascara, and ignore his biggish b-cups. So if this Missy Chrissy someday bellied up to a urinal beside me, in a public bathroom near you, I might jump a little, at first, but I’d manage not to piss on my hand.

No offense taken and no problem. Anyway with a name like "Kickass Conservative",\ I would not expect you to be someone who is overly concerned with political correctness. :-)

Ha Ha. Thank you for your reply.

I'm about as PC as Obama is a Natural Born Citizen. LOL

When dealing with people who share my Conservative views, I think of a line from the movie Harvey. It is one of my favorites, “You can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant”.

Although many of us here on FR may disagree on different topics, I strive to be pleasant. Whatever our views, I understand that I could never find a group of such well informed and intelligent people to discuss the issues of the day. I know everyone here sincerely cares about our wonderful Country and the welfare of our fellow Citizens.

When it comes to dealing with Liberals, I can be oh so smart, but I prefer sarcastic. They are all lunatics IMHO and must be treated as such.

I guess that’s why he got beat up. The story indicated the black girl beat him because of jealousy and had nothing to do with her detecting she was a boy and in the women’s room.

Thank you for being pleasant, even when you disagree with someone.

Not everyone here does that.

Yes. Just like you said earlier about "no hate crime, just crime".

Just people who think and live like animals acting like animals.

It is sad that there are people who think and live and act like this.

Also, I get upset when I read here on this forum some otherwise intelligent and upstanding conservative people cheering on this person's beating because of how he somehow deserved it for being transgender.

Yes, if he was guitly of breaking the law or harassing a woman, he should be punished for it.

But this person did not deserve to be attacked because of who he is or how he was dressed or whatever transgender medicines or surgery he had.

To say he deserved this attack for being living like he was living is to support what the attackers did. I will not support crime, not even against someone whom I do not care for or even have strong nehgative feelings about.

Either we all have the same rights or none of us do.

I agree. I'm sure the Devil takes great delight when the sin of others leads us into overlooking our own. I know I tend to do that like for example the other day when someone posted the gay Easter celebration in San Francisco. Those displays make me want to hang them from light poles. Then I realize that I am as guilty as they are, but will be saved only by the blood of Christ's sacrifice. Therefore, I only have pity for them if they do not hear and take hold of the truth, and my animosity dissipates because it makes no sense. Calling evil good is detestable, but it's irrelevant to my own condition.
