Welcome to life in totalitarian America, where even going to the bathroom and identifying the sex of an adult have now become intensely political acts.
Totalitarianism is about the politicization of everything, and once people’s careers can be destroyed by the New Bathroom Order if they publicly object to the once-bizarre idea of men in the ladies’ room–we’re there. Ask the now-unemployed Curt Schilling.
Totalitarianism is about using force to gain political goals. You can’t get more coercive than forcing the vast majority of people to endorse the utterly bizarre just to accommodate the allegedly hurt feelings of an almost undetectably small percentage of the population. So for the sake of each transgendered person’s hurt feelings, two thousand ordinary folk must be forced to ignore what their eyes and hearts tell them … and be publicly slandered as quasi-racist bigots if they murmur any objection.
Moreover, Americans have already solved the problem: They just politely ignore the fact that public bathrooms are quietly used by transsexuals–both those who look like the other sex and those who really don’t look like the other sex. That decent-minded, live-and-let-live compromise means Americans don’t have to pretend that men are women, and they can call the police if they feel threatened, for example, when a transsexual wants to use a changing room in a school.
But the progressives’ hostility to Americans’ civic compromises was always an element of the gay marriage crusade, as well. It was clear that the amount of coercive force unleashed upon society to make gay marriage work was far, far greater than the coercion necessary to allow civil unions to quietly operate alongside normal marriage.

How do you get your caveat?
Also how do you get the range of things a government is supposed to enforce? If someone obstinately refuses to say grace, should Caesar bring a sword?
How gentle was stoning for Sabbath breaking, why isn’t that in the panoply of penalties now?
No. You are protecting a fig leaf. People are leaning on bathrooms because they have stopped leaning on God.
We are now fighting for the right simply to maintain a dissenting subculture, and to be left alone. And the left will not tolerate it.
Peter, Paul or Mary?
The differences lost to the indifference of ones self.
Faith, Free Will and, or the acknowledgement of Satan dictates any one position.
The Secular Humanist rejects all “supernatural” positions which eliminates Satan. They reject creation which eliminates free will, as much as they hate to admit. All of which leaves them with only faith in ones self or “I am God”.
It’s Buddhism.
Enlightened, spiritual and what has become of our public policy.
A world in which the only beliefs that are wrong, are those that claim other beliefs are wrong. A world where the very logic we use to process information becomes relative or subjective. A world that advances uncertainty above certainty.
Peter;
Because the Bible says so.
Paul;
I hope you get this on your own.
Mary;
Let’s have fun and hope for the best.
Hey...you cite the Lion of the tribe of Judah in your end statement, he was the one who said “I came not to bring peace upon the Earth but the sword...”. Ask him to “roar it for you! It’s pretty obvious reading thru the scripture what government was supposed to be for, perhaps the “still small voice” can whisper it to you!
Roar against the devil who is always trying to subvert God’s larger plan. Not roar WITH the devil who is always offering so much punishment that the entire thing would be destroyed.
What might be obvious to me may not be obvious to you. Law cannot save; this world is not our home; at best we can get some object lessons.
Given that object lessons are the chief name of the game here, erring to the side of kindness if there is a doubt sounds like a winning strategy to me.

It’s the details that kill ya’.
Don’t confuse the terms — that’s what “they” want us to do.
quite frankly, the terms ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ have happily co-existed for many generations, with no apparent negative ramifications; regardless of what anyone want someone else to do...
a distinction without a difference...
