I think Trump was ignorant of what the North Carolina state legislature was doing with their bill. They were trying to put the rules back to their original position before the city of Charlotte violated state law. The North Carolina legislature undid an illegal law in Charlotte that forced businesses to allow men into women’s bathrooms based only on their identity (not the way they were dressed). The law in North Carolina was that it was illegal for men to enter into women’s bathrooms and Charlotte violated State law by forcing businesses to ignore the state law. The Legislature then passed a law prohibiting cities from passing ordinances that violated State law. In effect they did what Trump said they should do, put the law back to the way things were originally. Which is what they did.
Trump really did not say anything too far off the mark. People are making mountains out of molehills out of his lack of knowledge of the situation in North Carolina. His comment about Caitlyn Jenner may have thrown everyone a curve. If he knows something about Jenner that we don’t know—that Jenner did have the total transformation—I can see where Jenner could go into a woman’s restroom or shower. I think Jenner could have spared the headaches with some psychological counseling and not go transgender in the first place.
Your post shows great wisdom.
We do have laws on the books for voyeurism and exhibitionism. Those who violate such laws get categorized as sexual offenders. With that on their record, their job prospects are not favorable.
The key issue is that we are not electing a President to deal with social issues, since he doesn't have the power to do so.
There are so many NON-ISSUEs as you say that need to settled amicably so we can move on.
Reminds of the issue of the Confederate flag issue flying from a public building. No matter what decision you make, somebody is going to get upset.
For the Confederate flag, Trump said, "let the flag be shown in a museum somewhere." And it was a good comment that respected the Southern heritage but also appeased the many blacks who are offended.
This article is a lie. I posted a vanity explaining Trump’s position.
You posted a vanity projecting your hopes on Donald Trump. Today will be Trump’s walk back day. Everything he actually said will be disected and “clarified” to calm the masses.
Then what can Trump or Cruz do about it other than grandstand
Pound their chest?
| In another thread on this same subject, you said: ...If I can’t tell a transexual then neither can you. So when the pedophile follows your daughter or grand daughter into the restroom... Your logic escapes me here: how can you make the huge leap from transsexuals to pedophiles? Gays, lesbians, etc. have been on this earth since the time of Christ and before. Chances are that one in twenty or one in ten of the close people in your family is LGBT. And sooner or later we must confront that. And the question becomes: when I meet this person at a family barbeque, what should I do? Should I shun them or treat them like the rest of the family? Can a man explain in words why he is attracted to a woman? Personally, I cannot. And it's probably because this is beyond our sense of reason: sexual attraction is a primal desire, like my need for food, warm, and shelter. So if I don't understand my own sexual attraction to women, how can I understand or criticize the sexual attraction of one adult to another adult? I'm not making light of this. These issues befuddle the brain. But in my own life I've learned that the issues clarify themselves fairly quick when the deviance from "normal" occurs within your own Christian family. |
Wrong - as usual, folks miss the point and twist his word from the common sense they were to the crap they wish he had actually said/meant....It’s coming out but many won’t care because their “Conservative Principles” won’t allow them to see/say the truth.
How can't you? First, they aren't mutually exclusive. Second, the laws guaranteeing a transexual's right to use the bathroom of their choice have no mechanism for actually ensuring that the person using the protection of said law is actually a transexual.
What you have done is to give every pedophile a free hunting license with built in deniability. All they have to do when confronted is say, "I'm transexual and you are violating my rights."
Could you please link to your vanity posting.
I think it would be interesting to read.
Thanks.
Local issue?
But you support Trump who has absolutely no concept of the separation of federal and state powers?
Fascinating.
Reading comprehension problems or just a 3rd graders' grasp of debating skills?
You’re an idiot.
You’re an idiot.
You won’t vote for Cruz because you claim that his father dodged the draft. Love Trump despite he himself dodging the draft. You are a real genius.
That there are exactly two sexes and that they aren't determined by how you feel when you wake up in the morning.
Is that the range of choices that the professional you went to see about your Cruzbonics "issues" listed for you, SimpleMan? LOL! :)
Actually, I've always liked the nickname "stoolSampleMan" for you better, stool. :)
Why even have separate male and female restrooms? What’s the point?
If you are going full delusional, let’s just remove the signs and get on with it.
Gender is now a choice, so along with unisex sports teams, let’s just get rid of all traces of polite society. Hell, it’s only there to protect women anyway, and as even the FR women are now demanding that men share their toilets, let’s just call it a day and open up the locker rooms, dressing rooms, etc. to whoever wants to use them.
It’s time to stop harassing men who feel that they belong with the women when showering, undressing, etc. They aren’t voyeurs or perverts, they are just feeling a bit transexual. A nonissue for sure. Women who aren’t comfortable with this new arrangement should just stay home.
So you are just a straight up idiot. Got it.
