Godfather - how does not allowing transgendered people to use what they deem the most appropriate bathroom stop a predator from sexually assaulting someone?
Would a rapist see a "women's only" sign and think .... Damn I want to rape me some women, but I can't go in there, it's against the law?

wow....just friggin unreal, I just can't wrap my head around letting anybody's wife or daughter use a public bathroom any fuckin male can just walk into but I guess that the price your willing to pay to show the world you believe in transgender equality...which is bullshit in my humble opinion..but carry on in the names of your wives and daughters if it suits your non judgmental feelings.......dignin said:
Yes really. Your post was very misguided to say the least.

I was born of a woman who would judo chop your throat and tear out your eyes without remorse and I married a woman who would kick your nuts into your ears and poke you full of holes in short order.

A sign that says "WOMEN "?
Will that stop a predator?
Are you really that afraid of a transgendered person using a public bathroom?

Wtf are you talking about? If some dude wants to dress up like a woman and go into a women's washroom and attack people or spy on them, he can do it now. And there really doesn't seem to be a crime wave of men posing as women in women's washrooms. This is the dumbest concern of all time, seriously. I can't even fucking believe people are talking about it.Godfather. said:so trans people will be the only ones other than real women using the women's restroom ?.....I doubt that, your opening a door for sexual predators and this guy will have to live with the actions and crimes committed by these sick fucks...and the victims will have no choice all because a group of liberals believe that a man in a dress identifies himself as a woman is harmless.....it seems to me that any man who wears a dress and make-up in public is already battling with his own issues, not all are violent I'm sure but if you can make a case against concealed carry or even open carry laws but find it O.K. to open the door for men to use the women's public restrooms your catering to your own agenda and not that of society as a whole

aside from that it's a privacy issue for women and children...and yes a concern for fathers and husbands, believe it or not the whole world does not agree with this idea of letting any man who "identifies" himself as a woman in a public restroom with their loved ones.Bentleyspop said:

From Young Turks:
LIVE from Raleigh, NC state capitol: protesters planning mass sit-in to protest #HateBill2 a.k.a. the Bathroom Bill. Eric Byler reporting for The Young Turks.
Civil Rights leader Rev. Dr. William Barber II has asked participants not to respond to counter-protesters in support of the new law requiring proof that a person use the bathroom that corresponds to the gender of their birth. He has also said, "Please don't call House Bill 2 'The Bathroom Bill.' because if you read Section 2 and Section 3, it also takes away the right of municipalities to increase the minimum wage. NC Republicans need the "bathroom" hysteria headlines to cover up this attack on the Fight for 15, because their actions would be deeply unpopular with voters if they did this straight up. 80% of North Carolinians support increasing the minimum wage.
North Carolina Republicans are stoking bigotry, he asserts, and using the trans-gender community to disguise a cynical attack on labor, women, and families on behalf of business interests, and, to rally the base of the Republican party for November's crucial election.
There are historical comparisons in which African Americans have been scapegoated and used in this way, including the wave of terrorism that overturned democratically elected biracial governments in the South in the decades following the Civil War, and the hateful electioneering of former NC Senator Jesse Helms. Thus, the the multi-faith and multi-racial Moral Movement is organizing a mass sit-in on Monday to expose the hidden agenda behind the so-called Bathroom Bill.
Instead of The Bathroom Bill, call it The Anti worker, Anti-Living wage, Anti-Family, Anti-Women, Anti-Civil Rights, Anti-Gay, Anti-Transgender Bill.
GOP lawmakers hoped we'd focus on the bathroom controversy, and not read Sec 2 and Sec. 3 which prohibit city governments such as Charlotte's and Greensboro's from requiring contractors to pay a living wage and afford workers with vacation sick leave.
It also takes away the ability to file employment discrimination suits in in state court.
Too many in the news media fall for the sensationalism of the Ted Cruz argument that little girls will fall prey to sexual predators if their entry to girls' bathrooms is not prohibited by state law.
The Orwellian moniker, “Religious Freedom" reminds historians of previous dishonest, hate-based movements cloaked in false religiosity.
The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guaranteed for the first time that people who had been legally codified as three-fifths persons would enjoy equal protection under the law in this country. But the very notion of equal protection under law for African Americans was so offensive that it inspired a violent, orchestrated backlash, led by terrorist organizations such as the KKK working in concert with former slave owner/aristocrat/politicians.0 -

The times I have heard of molestation or other sexual assualt done to minors has been man on boy in the mens rooms.
How many cases of sexual assualt have ben reported that the perpatrators is a trans person?

Attitudes like this have no place in society and set a state backwards.
Come on Americans, you can do better.
