Referendum Questions: What were MA voters thinking? Treat nurses like slaves, and let men use women's restrooms. Huh? (sex offenders, gated)

It has been law for a few years and that hasn't happened

I would not degrade all nurses who got their degree from a 2 year program. Plenty of people get their bachelors and decide they want to change their career paths early on so they go back to school. Instead of going through all the gen-eds again, they go right into the meat of the program.

This poster has some weird grudge against public universities, on average I's say he rants about it several times a week on here. What's even stranger, is that I believe he went to one himself. Maybe he feels he got an inferior education, I don't know. But if that's the case, what he fails to realize is how many have the same experience at a private college/university (or get an excellent education at a state U.) and yet walk out with FAR more debt. Sometimes it's the school/program's fault, sometimes it's the student's...

Two allegations, one at the Woburn Target and one at the Plainville TJ Maxx. That's if we just go by what was reported...

Anybody remember the story about the sex offender that followed a woman into a Burger King restroom? It was in Bridgewater, he killed her.

Anybody who does this is going to do it regardless of whether trans people have rights. Attacking someone or filming them with a camera is already illegal. It has zero to do with transgender issues.

So you are suggesting we make it legal?

Then why do we have gender segregated bathrooms in the first place?

And that happened way back in 2003. Further proof that if someone really wants to murder someone in a bathroom, they’ll be doing it whether or not the rights of trans folks are protected by law.

We don't everywhere and more places are moving away from them.


But my first response is we have them because men are in control of most planning and construction, and for biological reasons, on average, men take less time to go so it is to men's advantage to have segregated bathrooms.
