Lol...good thing you aren't going to college these days. Just being a male automatically makes you a potential rapist.

Transgenders.or any American for that matter should not be singled out...nor should they receive special dispensation....
I wouldn't expect that statement based on your many posts advocating special treatment for law officers who mistreat the public.

The same way that many do at beaches all over the world. We wrap a towel around ourselves and change. I've done it hundreds of times in the parking lot at the beach growing up.

And when they don't because they don't have to being supposedly "transgender" and all?

Uh no you aren't feared for being male,tall, and deep voiced...you will be feared by girl children in the bathroom wondering what the heck you're doing in there.

I agree that this whole thing is pretty silly. Nobody had any issues going to the restroom with people who look like women before.

But you have to consider that every time something like this becomes a law, it's because somebody harassed that small percentage to the point that they had to legislate something. So the 99% didn't do a good job of policing themselves.

You can blame the transgendered or the people who support them for creating laws like this, but the real blame lies with the folks who created such a problem that they had to make a law.

Nah, that's not what is going on here at all. The actual "issue" itself is of no import in and of itself. But we just need a list of them, to keep using. Use one, then move onto the next one. But we must not run out.

Use them for what?? To change the society, to unsettle, to disorient, to break old institutions and ways of doing things. To destroy norms and anything that might interfere with us achieving our ultimate goal.
And what is that??
Come on. Let's all drop the pretense. We all know. Let's let go of the pretense.

In a woman's bathroom? Yeah duh.
