Ignorance is when individuals can't find the self control and dicipline to stop themselves from giving in to whacko urges and desires.
You ever see that kid walking the street with the 14" tall bright green mohawk, tattoos covering his neck and face and piercings everwhere? How about that man with the adams apple weraring a dress and lipstick? You have to wonder how and why someone feels the need to "express themselves" on such an extreme level. The only logical explanation is mental illness.
And then the kid with the 14" green Mohawk, who's full of piercings and facial tats will wonder why he can't get a job....lol. Hey man....no one will even give me an interview. Gee, go figure. If you frighten children, you probably have your answer....lol.
I'm all for free expression, but stupidity is another matter. If you can't figure out looking more or less freakish turns employers off....well, you have problems far beyond your looks. When I grew up in the 70's I had my long hair, and to this day, wish I still could wear it that way. But I decided getting a decent job was more important. Some would say I sold out, I would say I made a choice to trade my long hair for a stable good paying job which resulted in much more enjoyment and personal fulfillment that keeping my long hair ever could have on it's own.
So, of course the right rejects it. They're reality challenged.
Prove it.
Bathroom laws come from the right, not the left. The GOP even convenes emergency legislative sessions to come up with their silliness. Then they spout ridiculous fantasies to justify their phobia.
I'm kinda fond of the right's incessant efforts to regulate women's privates while chanting "smaller government!"
And then there is that little matter of the state deciding who is or is not a person.
Orwellian double think. The reality shows left wingers to be the authoritarians, as we see countless examples of the various groups making up the left petitioning endlessly for MORE government interference in matters government has no legitimate business, to now include restroom regulation.
Nothing exudes authoritarianism more than the tireless efforts of the left to impose bans on everything from firearms to tobacco, to even the outlawing of English language words which they claim to be offensive. Even Mom and Dad are target words, as the lunatic left insists isn't gender neutral enough.
Again, leftest thought patterns are consistently running in reverse of reality.
I'm pretty sure that the general mode of operation is still "don't ask, don't tell" when it comes to the public restroom issue, unless people make an issue of it. The 0.3% of the population that are transgender or genderqueer quietly and discreetly use the restroom of the gender in which they identify, and under most circumstances, everything works out.
Precisely, this is all a ruse to take people's attention away from the real issues of the campaign, Hillary's emails and money corruption.
"The larger issue is the meme itself. The idea that one’s sex is fluid and a matter open to choice runs unquestioned through our culture and is reflected everywhere in the media, the theater, the classroom, and in many medical clinics. It has taken on cult-like features: its own special lingo, internet chat rooms providing slick answers to new recruits, and clubs for easy access to dresses and styles supporting the sex change. It is doing much damage to families, adolescents, and children and should be confronted as an opinion without biological foundation wherever it emerges."

Ted Cruz' epic failure should be a cautionary tale for religious nuts. Your hate resonates with NO ONE.
LOL! At you and anyone else actually thinking 77% of the age 30+ population are hate-filled religious nuts. Can't get much more ignorant and intolerant than that.

"Most Americans (59 percent) aren't comfortable with the idea of transgender students picking which bathroom or locker room to use, and think they should use the facilities of the gender they were born as, while 26 percent think they should be allowed to use the bathrooms and locker rooms of their preferred gender.
...Just 23 percent of Americans age 30 and older think transgender students should be able to pick which facilities to use, compared to 35 percent of Americans under 30"
Just look at the response of those old enough to have kids... 77%of the age 30+ population doesn't want transgenders to be able to "choose" which facilities (men's/boys' or women's/girls') to use.

No, they don't. The problems in schools/universities in IL, WA, MO, PA, etc., involve complaints about transgenders using multiple occupancy locker room/shower facilities opposite of their anatomical genitalia.
From the 2015 federal court ruling in the PA public university case...
Quote:
"This case arises from Plaintiff Seamus Johnston’s allegations that Defendants discriminated against him based on his sex and his transgender status(1) by prohibiting him from using sex-segregated locker rooms and restrooms that were designated for men. Although the parties have submitted lengthy briefs and have advanced numerous arguments, this case presents one central question: whether a university, receiving federal funds, engages in unlawful discrimination, in violation of the United States Constitution and federal and state statutes, when it prohibits a transgender male student from using sex-segregated restrooms and locker rooms designated for men on a university campus. The simple answer is no."
(1) Plaintiff was born a female but identifies as a transgender male."
As in the right's push for "personhood," granting full rights and legal status to zygotes.
Hmmm... Even blue states have fetal homicide laws.
