The “bathroom wars” may well prove to the the “bridge too far” and the high-water mark for the PC movement. After Trump is sworn in we can expect common sense to become fashionable again.
Can we? Is your statement based on what Trump says or what he does?
It was unwise of them even from a secular point of view, because it assails one of the final fig-leaves of sexual integrity in the USA. With marriage gone, traditionalists are now fighting like the proverbial cornered rat. The corner wouldn’t have meant all that much to the rat — nobody ever expected a public bathroom area to be a refined place — but that is all the rat has now.
That said, I think conservative America has in fact been way too lax for its own good about the status of sexuality as a divine gift. It played fast and loose. Now it is defending bathrooms, something that the bible says little about — except things like do it outside the camp.
I hope that somehow, out of this springs a new resolve for all of America — not just the “scoundrels” of the society — to get right with God.
It's interesting to gauge ones own reactions. For some long drives a few weeks ago and also for going to the movies, I found myself timing liquid consumption so I wouldn't have to use public restrooms.
Wishful thinking, at best. One man, even one hailed by his followers as being as great as Trump, will not even dent the bureaucracy, or undo the societal moral decay that led us to this point.
I hope you’re right. I don’t know how trans rights have become such a big thing so quickly. I mean, honestly, how many people give a flying f!#$ about these most likely mentally disturbed weirdos? I mean, if you’re really trans and dress like it, you can use the stalls in an opposite-gender washroom without anyone likely saying anything about it. But if you try to use a public, open change room at a pool or gym (one with private stalls would be different), yeah, people are going to get upset.
I see what you did there. very good!!
