A bold stance that matters to absolutely no one except other Keyboard Rambo's.

You yourself say of PayPal:

HOW is that any different than Hobby Lobby with their alleged moral character doing business with China?

THAT stance!

Note - a country that, until recently, required abortions.

All public bathrooms (for males or females) have stalls in them. In fact, women's bathrooms just have stalls. Nobody's gonna see you doing your business or see you naked. I don't see why this whole thing is even an issue. Who cares if a trans woman uses the women's bathrooms?

I am having trouble closing my Paypal account. I close it but they have an error message up:

"Before you close your account

Sorry, there's a problem. If you keep seeing this, please contact customer service."

Anyone else having this problem?

I guess I will delete most of my information and leave it at that. Or come back and close it next week.

I have to say that I am pretty disappointing in all the people on here who claim they identify as a conservative.

the very platform of a conservative is LESS gov't intrusion into the lives of citizens and less laws.

what a joke

Has nothing to do with "predators." Anyone who falls for that is dumb.

It has everything to do with legitimizing discrimination against gay and lesbian folks.

Nah, they got spun off a couple of months back. It has its own ticker now.

I'm feeling the glorious glow of Schadenfreude since Philly's own Villanova beat UNC yesterday for the NCAA championship!!!

I haven't read the law yet (I'll try to do so tonight), but if it is anything like Houston's HERO ordinance, it has the strong possibility of putting women and girls in danger from straight heterosexual predators who can use the "I felt like a female" to file complaints or lawsuits against businesses where an employee asks why that man (straight and dressed as a man) was going into the women's restroom. The danger doesn't come from transsexuals, it would come from the removal of vigilance for fear of government sanctions - assuming it is anything like the HERO ordinance.
