If they start to suffer, even in small ways, they will probably come out in support of a repeal.

Family values conservatives and Christian fundamentalists -- time to wake up. You're the minority now and your numbers shrink every year. You should just start getting used to living in a world where people are tolerated even if they don't conform to your narrow views of sexual morality. (The horror! The horror!)

Porn site bans all North Carolina users over anti-LGBT law





Overplaying your hand again I see.


The people created the DOMAs that were struck down by the Supreme Court without any authority granted by the Constitution to do so.


Now you are claiming the people of North Carolina, after having all this shoved down their throats, will beg for more?


I say support for the repeal of any law designed to put the brakes on the gaystapo`s rein of terror is highly unlikely in a state that cares about the Bill of Rights.


We'll see.

This knife cuts both ways.
BIGOT - One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
The protestors are the REAL BIGOTS who are intolerant of beliefs differing from their own.
NATURAL RIGHTS - ... are the rights of life, liberty, privacy, and good reputation.
- - - Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Ed., p. 1324
Since privacy is a natural right, it is a violation to allow those whose plumbing and biological gender differ, to share privies.

Again, why are adults getting naked in front of children? Is this a common practice for you or your daughter? Does she commonly have adults getting naked in front of her?
Sarcasm is a non-answer. My suspicions are confirmed. It IS all about you forcing your presence on people, including children, whether you're wanted there or not. And on planet earth, when you change clothes in the locker room of a gym or pool it requires you to remove the clothes you're currently wearing. Maybe they don't do it that way on your planet.

I have a feeling that a man sporting a beard but who is biologically female in a restroom or changing room is a smidge more uncomfy to you than unknowingly sharing those spaces with a transwoman. But hey, if you WANT to share a bathroom with a man, keep fighting the good fight.
What? You clearly haven't read the dozen or so posts of mine on this thread. No one is telling YOU to be uncomfortable. I don't even know you. As for men with beards who are biologically female, we already discussed Buck Angel. His intersex body is his problem not society's. He can use a singłe person gender neutral bathroom.

A man sporting a beard who has a vagina should go into the men's locker room, find a stall (bathroom or shower) close the door or curtain and change clothes in private. No one would ever know that he was not a biological male. No need for drama and no need to make everyone else uncomfortable.

Your irrational anxieties are your problem, not society's. There's a woman who I happen to know is trans (though she "passes") who goes to my gym. There are certainly more that I don't happen to know for sure what genitalia they sport under their clothes. According to this law, they should have to out themselves because someone who is certainly paying far too much attention to other people changing *might* notice that they're trans.

Can we ban people thinking about others' genitalia from restrooms and locker rooms? They're much more of a threat to society than a transperson. And they make ME uncomfortable, which is all that matters, right?

That wold be against the law. He can not legally use the mens room now.

The law is completely unenforceable. If a person's safety is at risk then they should not follow it. Discretion is key.

No, it is you who thinks it is okay for adults to be exposing themselves to children as long as they have the same genitalia. Children should not be sharing the same locker rooms as adults to begin with, especially ones where people are exposing their genitalia to others.

I have never been to a school that has a pool, and swimming isn't a required class for most school systems.
