I don't know what you mean. Nobody has actually "supported" anything because nothing has actually been proposed. It's all academic at this point, a bunch of what-if's, how's and why's. And there is nothing in this world that doesn't benefit from discussion. Nothing.
how do you not know what he means, anyone with common sense would understand his post and what he was getting at.

Common sense? LOL.
Here is how I look at things like this. Someone reports something by presenting it in the most over the top, outrageous way possible. Every horrible, terrible, what-if, slippery-slope idea imaginable, like in this thread. We can either react to that with our reptile brain, or logic it out. I mean, just for a moment, try to imagine a school board actually going for all of this that's being discussed her. Try to imagine the reaction from the parents, students, community. When you get to that point you will realize it's not even an option and whatever the intent of the proposal it is NOT going to result in these worst case scenarios people like to create and then yell about. It's made up drama and we do it all the time. When you stop reacting and start thinking ahead logically it usually falls apart. Then you can go figure out what the real issue is and why anything is being proposed at all. And with some practice your mind can get to the end result within a few moments, making everything that everyone posts for the next several hours-days look completely ridiculous.
I guess it's a telling story to read how concerned parents are over which bathroom their kids use at school.
When was the last time you read about how concerned parents are over the watered down curriculum being taught to their kids such that one can leave HS with a diploma and barely read ?
The priorities in this country are so out of whack.

Actually, there are a lot of parents concerned about a lot of things about the public schools these days. That is why the number of home schoolers has soared.
Well I posted a link earlier which told how two other states have had similiar regulations in place for 3 years now. Transgendered issues don't come up often but when they do it's good to know how to handle it. Everything else is just a bunch of bla bla bla.
Handle it just like it was done in the days when sanity prevailed in or society ... if a boy came to school dressed up like a girl, he was sent home before he even needed to use the rest room. And if he did enter the girls bathroom ... he would have been sent home on a 3 day vacation, with the understanding that another attempt would be handled by more drastic actions. Very easy.
Here is the rule ... if you have a penis, you aren't allowed to come to school in a skirt... and you use the boys bathroom (one of the stalls if desired .. boys bathrooms have those too). And if you don't have a penis, you can wear a skirt, and sit down in the girls bathroom? Or is this too complicated for the liberal mind to grasp?
Today, we encourage this nonsense by teaching sex education to young grade schoolers long before the age where it is appropriate. They shouldn't be dealing with these issues at that age anyway ... they should be focused on reading, writing, arithmetic, civics, history, music, art, and athletics. This BS about "sensitivity training" and "some kids have two daddies" has no place in the schools, and this type of craziness is part of the consequences. The problems are simply magnified by rationalizing such insane solutions as unisex bathrooms.
Aside from the insanity such an idea poses at face value, had any of these idiots explained show the "transgendered" kid who felt "uncomfortable" using the boys room, preferring the girls room instead, would somehow be made more comfortable using a girls room filled with boys? The proposal lacks common sense from any particular angle, which seems to be the one common denominator in the majority of liberal causes and agendas.
And don't think that it would stop with either unisex bathrooms ... or with a 3rd bathroom for the "other" kids. Total insanity has no "off button", nor is ever satisfied. Create a "transgender" bathroom ... then it will be "Well I'm a male/female, and I don't want to share a bathroom with a female/male" ... or "I'm both male and female, and I want to use all of the bathrooms". Do we have gay male bathrooms and lesbian bathrooms?
There is no end to the madness of special accommodations.
It's the Birth certificate, stupid! What "gender" were you when you landed in the doctor's catchers mitt? That's the bathroom you use. If you truly are a physical anomaly possessing both male and female equipment, special permission to use the teachers bathroom would solve the problem in those extremely rare cases.
Now can you liberals just get off of it already? Stop the insanity, and demand that these schools teach kids Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, and let the parents potty train their kids?
For a long while now, I've come to consider that we may be doomed as a society altogether. Such nonsense as unisex bathrooms only confirms that fear.
