Would you feel very comfortable if you were in a Target with say... a 12 year old daughter/niece/whoever and she had to go to the bathroom and while she's in there, some 50 year old strange man walks in there with her? I wouldn't. And I'm sure as hell not dumb enough to place my bets on those odds. You can be comfortable taking that chance, if that's your choice, but others shouldn't be put into that situation because of handful of others don't give a care.

Most 50 year old men aren't rapists. A 12 year old girl going to the bathroom and where a transgender man is also in isn't a big deal.

"OMG A MAN IS IN THE SAME BATHROOM AS A LITTLE GIRL!!" That's how you sound.

I'm a republican. But I can't stand when fellow republicans go on and on about shit that is so meaningless. OMG A GUY WILL BE IN THE GIRLS RESTROOM AHHHHHH! Who gives a fuck? Just stfu and understand that shit changes. Stop giving republicans a bad name.

Is that so? What makes you think so? What gives you the RIGHT to say that to me? Seriously. On a cognitive level, what gives you the greenlight to say that to anybody?
Do you seriously think that just because you know more about foreign policy than almost anybody on this forum that you are THAT much smarter and understanding than them? REALLY?
You're fucked up. You're so immersed in your own superiority that you actually give yourself a pass to say that to somebody who you know nothing about. You have no idea of my education level, my life experiences, the places I've been to, the places I live, my income, anything, but yet you think I have a simple minded view of the world.
Because I didn't watch one particular documentary. It doesn't matter that I've read other articles, watched other shows/docs or anything like that. Nope.


You've gotta be fucking kidding me with this...

This is not white privilege, this is not segregation.

You have a simple minded view of the world that seems detached from the realities of some people.

If you were born with dangles between you legs, use the damn boys/mens bathroom.
If you were born with boobs that will/are/have producing milk, use the damn girls/womens bathroom.
Period.

It's a simple matter of biology. Not a matter of FEELINGS. It's time people grew the fuck up and work through, inspite of, despite of... their feelings. We all have feelings, sure. So what? We deal with them. We don't ask everybody else to change to benefit our anxieties, hurt feelings and paranoia to suit our individual agendas so that we can FEEL empowered.

If that's the case, I demand that we get rid of all public housing, HUD, generational welfare, SJW's, public unions, Coldplay, all government-paid college education, Obamacare and Obamaphones. Because I FEEL that the cost of those things intrudes upon my liberty and freedom.

Look, nobody is telling anybody that they can't use a friggen restroom. They are saying use the biologically correct restroom. This shouldn't be difficult, especially in schools, both bathrooms have stalls. There ya go, privacy.

iclfan2;1795758 wrote:The point is it isn't just a transgender in the bathroom with the little girl, it could be any man or pervert. I don't think anyone is concerned with an actual transgender doing the raping or whatever you want to call it. It's the fact that the law opens it up to all freaky white dudes like the subway guy. And if you don't have a problem with the federal government forcing schools and what not to allow transgenders (which is literally 0 of the population) then you aren't really a republican which at its core is against the federal government making overarching laws that don't concern it.

Then you scream shit like "the federal government is over stepping their grounds!!" Or "this is our constitutional right!!" I can't stand Obama. But you guys would bitch and moan if he ordered an extra egg at breakfast and not get charged for it.

What I care about is the government taking time and resources to make this an issue for a group of people that make up .3% (lgbt statistics not mine) of our population. I hate the lowest common denominator on the conservative/republican side, but the lowest common denominator on the lib/democrat side (and even a lot of intelligent people) just eats this shit up. It's beyond me how a large majority of people on both sides are blind to the fact these narratives are just a ploy to make one party look like angels and the other like demons. It's all about getting those votes and to stay employed and nobody sees that. It's truly pathetic.

I have a friend who has a good college education that just recently got into politics. He posted some dumb shit, so I trolled. He then listed why liberals are better because republicans are bigot!, abortion!, gay rights!, poor people!, etc. Basically a real life version of isadore. To take a phrase from our resident deadbeat; "hook, line and sinker." It's hilarious that people actually think that 90% of these politicians truly care about these petty issues. Look at Hillary, (or trump) it's so damn obvious she is pandering to voters that it should make your eyes bleed. She literally wasn't for any gay rights until 2013 when she started to gear up for her run at the WH. Either our country is this fucking stupid or they would rather turn a blind eye and perpetuate the bullshit narrative we see everyday for both parties.

SportsAndLady;1795794 wrote:Yeah, that wasn't directed at people like you. Realistic and non-extremist republicans will pick and choose what battles to fight when it comes to the federal government. We all know they're going to get too involved in certain areas, people like QO get crazy over every thing. People like you and I will wait until it actually means something. Transgenders in bathrooms is not something that anyone should really GAF about lol
