Transgender insanity: Another big battle in the war on common sense: In a Women's Shelter
American Thinker ^ | 08/21/2019 | Robert Curry

I'm guessing you have already noticed that there is a war on common sense going on all around us, but have you heard about this recent assault in that war?  It's a doozy.  A women's shelter is being sued for turning away a man dressed in a nightgown.  Really.

According to the reports, a very large and very inebriated man dressed in a nightgown showed up at a women's shelter in downtown Anchorage, Alaska seeking entry.  He was not admitted to stay the night.

As a result, the shelter is now embroiled in a legal battle.  The Anchorage Equal Rights Commission (AERC), an administrative agency within the municipality of Anchorage, has brought a discrimination case against the shelter.  Because the person who was turned away, one Jessica Doe, claims to identify as a female, the shelter is charged with discriminating against Doe on the basis of "sex and gender identity."  The strange phrase "identifies as a female" simply means that Doe, despite being male, claims to be female.

This story is a perfect example of the war on common sense.

On one side, we have plain common sense.  The facility is, after all, a women's shelter, where the women sleep in one large room with many beds.  The woman in charge of the shelter said this about the discrimination charge:

Many women cheered this on. So here it is.

Sports, bathrooms, now shelters.

Embrace the fluidity.

Time for a name change, shelters should now be Chromosome XX Safe Houses.

The Left gets it wrong again. Compassion for the mentally ill is getting them treatment, not letting them run the asylum. Or the country.

I refuse to accept the notion of gender identity, or “identifying as ....”. Stand up. Nullify juries. Put an end to this insanity. Man, talk about a war on women, the trannies are it in spades! It must suck to be a woman, knowing it means nothing but a whim of a disturbed male. In a short time, you have gone from “l am woman, hear me roar”, to ok, you can be a girl if you say you are one.

Reality has a tendency to come and bite you no matter what you believe in.

My grandpa worked in an insane asylum for a while about 80 years ago. This kind of person would be in a cell eating his own waste back then. Today he is a mass shooting ticking time bomb.

Things are getting so bad in “Western progressive culture” that soon we will be begging for the muzzies, commies or Asians to take over.

In related news, Jessica Doe of Anchorage, Alaska, was offered a lead role in a new advertising campaign for Gillette feminine products.

Sidestep the whole issue; I’m sure the shelter has a policy against admitting anyone who is drunk or disruptive, which obviously both apply to this man. His dressing as a woman isn’t material to the case.

“Things are getting so bad in “Western progressive culture” that soon we will be begging for the muzzies, commies or Asians to take over.”

Some of us begin to wonder if that isn’t the whole goal with this stuff. And who, exactly, is behind all of it to begin with. (muzzies or chicoms)

Yes, some women did cheer this madness on. That thought it was "cute" when boys joined the cheerleading team and was crowned homecoming queen because they showed up at a prom in dress and heels.

Now the chickens have come home to roost.

These people will NEVER stop if we do not draw a line in the sand. Every time we (as a society) allow some level of deviant behavior in order to be "tolerant", these people will always find the next lower level to bring us down to.

Always.

It will never stop.

Until we, as a decent society, put a stop to it.

Wouldn’t think a war on common sense would go very far except for groups like this AERC who take this foolishness forward. There is where the lack of common sense seems to prevail & open the way for these wackos.

I tend to go with the simple stupidity rules the world concept. This nonsense is so incredibly stupid... that it boggles the mind.

That IS the goal of all of this. The Dems deep down couldn’t care less about trannies; they’re just one of many tools to help destabilize the nation, namely the white Christian bloc.

As I get criticized for my belly maybe I should identify as a pregnant woman.
