The "gender identity" thing was a bridge too far.
What should happen: A light should go off in the gay activists’ heads that they should stop pushing this bathroom access issue.
What will happen: They will judge-shop for someone who will toss aside everything the voters have to say on the issue with the stroke of a pen.
Arizona lost the Super Bowl one year because the state didn’t recognize MLK day as a holiday.
It’s really simple, at birth the government issues a piece of paper attesting whether the new person is male or female; live by that.
“a devastating blow to equality”
They call “equality” being able to impose their will on others. How much more Orwellian can it get?
“The ordinance lost despite strong support from many major businesses, and despite its supporters’ arguments that serious problems with bathroom access have been virtually nonexistent in the 17 states and scores of cities that have banned discrimination against transgender people in public accommodations.”
Even if I accept the premise that the majority of transgender people in public restrooms are not committing any crimes while they are in there, these folks are complaining that they are being unfairly legislated against based on the heinous actions of a small number of non-representative transgender people?
Welcome to my RKBA life, sweetheart. How is that shoe fitting on the other foot now?
Nice contrast. When voters reject perversion, their leaders call for them to fight. When unelected judges tell us to accept perversion, our side whines, its the law of the land, and tells us to move on.
“Opponents prevailed with a campaign that dubbed the measure “the bathroom ordinance” and raised the specter of male sexual predators invading women’s restrooms.”
Under this ordnance there would literally have been no way to prevent any guy from saying, “I’m a woman trapped in a man’s body” and proceeding to go into the girl’s locker room and shower with them. It’d be awfully tempting for a lot of guys (though I’d have never had either the guts or the indecency to have done that when I was of “locker room” age).
How the backers of this ordnance missed that, I can’t understand - and thus the only conclusion that I can reach is that they clearly knew about it, and simply did not care.
They have access to public restrooms. What they want is access to restrooms that are not the sex they were born as. I can't believe I am having to type that sentence.
They want males, who still have all of their male appendiges in tact, to be able to shower with young females.
This is not about "equal" rights; this is about "special rights".
For about the past year I have found myself asking, "when did we fall down the rabbit hole?"
