    What I was more referring to that irritates me is the instant jumping to conclusions instead of understanding the rationale thought someone might have. 
    It was said a few times in the responses before yours than separating biological males from women's sports is reasonable and people are ok with that. but I've been called pretty nasty things as well as others here every time its come up for simply saying for competitive and safety reasons, biological males should not compete in women's sports. And I've been called a lot worse, including a Neo nazi for comments as "radical" as women's sports. Was actually called a nazi for correcting a post falsely claiming a Texas law was making it illegal to be trans. I wasn't anti-texts enough to not care the information was false, so that made me a nazi. Thats what I meant by conforming to their ideas, I think differently so many here will immediately label me as racist or sexist, and have said or implied so many times.
    To me checking a box on a government form isn't a big deal. Maybe it is to some people, and that's fine. We can have a discussion about the impact it can have. But let's not get carried away and say trans is becoming illegal because of it and put labels on people who disagree again. 
    I think many of the hot topics around this subject (inducing the bathrooms) there is actually a reasonable request being made. But instead of discussing the topic, hate slurs are used instead to rebut a comment and ignore any concerns.
    When I think back to high school I'm amazed how far we've come. Using homophobic or transphobic slurs were the norm. Same-sex couples weren't allowed at school dances, etc. Declaring your sex on a passport or when purchasing a gun seems like not a big deal. Am I wrong? How often do we fill out official government forms and who sees that information? It's not going to affect anyone's daily life to declare a sex when doing taxes, getting a passport, buying a gun, etc. The government collects your information on everything, Sex is one of many things they ask about. Certainly doesn't seem like a step towards making it illegal to be trans, which there have been serious claims about in the last 2 days.
    I've been surprised that tax returns don't ask for gender...especially joint filings

    I have no problem filing a joint return for two males or females but I have picked up clients that came to me because someone else refused to file a joint return. A lot of folks in Red Meat, IN, still don't believe in that.

    Reminds me of an old George Bush joke:

    Bush's advisor came to him during the Iraq war and said, "Bad News sir.  We just learned that three Brazilian soldiers were killed today".  George was visibly upset, couldn't understand how this could happen.  The advisor said, "sir, what's wrong?".  Bush asked, "well how many people in a brazillion"?

    ba da tss...

    Why would two people who love each other and are in no way related to you and are gay getting married bother you? I know you said it doesn’t anymore but still have to ask the ?

    We just found out that a tenant  in one of the buildings we own in Shitcago was just grabbed by ICE.  This POS from Venezula hasn’t paid rent in over 15 months!! I am also hearing his “wife” and spawn were snatched up 2 for association.  Even though  we are out almost 20k, we were never getting that $$ back from these deadbeat illegals anyway, we are elated they are outy 5000!!!  I love seeing this recent  swift ACTION by ICE directly making a positive impact on tax paying AMERICANS!!!  
    Don’t really get much of that in rotten brain infested Shitago unless the feds step in…
    Smart move to invest in a place that rents to such rotten brains.

    She interviewed last week with a "you're in if you pass the background check"....they reached out today letting her know that they were ordered to freeze all hiring.

    Really sucks.

    All well and true but don’t dismiss the other side of it. There are plenty good landlords that suffer because of ridiculous squatter laws in certain cities. Unless you’ve been the victim of this, it’s hard to understand

    Maybe tighten up the screening process by running credit and identity checks on your potential tenants prior to renting to them? Easier to blame someone else though. Plus, those things cost.

    IF this is even something that really happened, it sounds like you have a shitty application and credit check process for new tenants to say nothing of not having a good lawyer to start an eviction process much earlier.

    Exactly. There’s only one reason , it’s because the apartment is illegal. Other than that it makes no sense

    Yeah Kat edited out my statement that more crudely said what you did.  But I agree.  

    And now apparently we are arresting people for "association"?  Really.  Is that a new law?  If someone I know commits a crime, am I going to be arrested for "association"?  Total BS.  

    I am also hearing his “wife” and spawn were snatched up 2 for association.
