“Yes, this must be resisted, but we must not fall into the trap. Obama and the sexual revolutionaries are counting on opponents to howl about perverts in the bathrooms. In response, they will trot out a confused, mild-mannered 14 year old, and attack opponents as being driven by fear, hateful, mean-spirited, homophobic, etc. The entire phalanx of left media and interest groups will rally to this battle.”

Exactly. This is utterly predictable. We have to stop setting ourselves up for the sucker punch.
Rhetoric tends to evolve over the course of controversies like this, so I reserve the right to revise the conversational loop as we go along. But at this point, I find "do you really think teenage girls should be forced to shower with the boys" to be a winner. The other side simply doesn't respond. They want to talk about bathroom stalls. They don't want to talk about 16 year old girls being forced to shower with mentally ill boys. And they don't want to talk about boys on the girls' athletic teams.
