Transgender Issue Strikes Oregon Women’s Shelter
Breitbart.com ^ | May 26, 2016 | Bob Price

Oregon women seeking shelter from homelessness or abusive men are being forced to share sleeping and bathroom facilities with men who “self-identify” as a woman. State anti-discrimination laws in that state require these women’s shelters to take in men who “self-identify” as a woman, a sheltered woman reported.

Malka Davis was trying to find shelter, like many other women, from living on the streets after running out of options, she wrote in an opinion piece in The Oregonian. While returning to the shelter one day, Davis noticed several of her female shelter companions in distress. She said one woman had “left the shelter in terror.”

Why? The shelter admitted a man to the facility who “self-identified” as a woman. The realization of a man in their midst brought shock and fear to the female residents of the shelter.

This illustrates the transgender “bathroom issue” is not about bathrooms at all. These aggressive policies are much broader in their scope and intent. In many cases, like the Target transgender policy or the Fort Worth school district situation effecting bathrooms and locker rooms, the policies go to areas where women are changing clothes or showering. The policies usually include the “self-identify as a woman” phrase meaning the man does not actually have to be transgender, but can simply make the claim that they “self-identify” as a woman on that particular day.

Liberal thinking can only create all kinds of knots like this.

Calling this unintended consequences is a insult to logic.
The way that this ends is when these men self riding as women are beaten to a pulp

Why is this shelter based on sexism and bigotry even allowed to stay open. If they have a “Policy” of “Discriminating” against persons based on their “SEX” they should be CLOSED, Prosecuted under existing HATE CRIME LAWS, Then SUED in to Oblivion by the Just Us Department for their Blatant Bigotry.

Yes I know they admitted a “transgender” but they should be REQUIRED to Admit ANYONE that shows up or face SEVERE Leagl Consequences.

What this tells me is that the cisgender womyn at the shelter are bigots, intolerant, and discriminatory. They should be ashamed of themselves!

Let the Social Justice Warriors come and educate them about tolerance and inclusiveness.

I plan on using this issue to my advantage. I do a lot of construction subcontracting on government jobs. I only have two employees. Many times I am told I cannot bid because I don’t have the minority content the General contractors need to fulfill their quotas. Being a white male disqualifies me.

So, I now plan to fill out the forms and say I self identify as a crossdresser, gender fluid, etc.

Let’s see if they want to discriminate against me.

This, exactly. Imagine the terror these victims must feel for themselves & their children, knowing their abusers now have an easy path to them.

How can this not lead to an entirely foreseeable tragedy? And for what?

So i guess all these years cozying up to gay male perverts still cannot get women over their sexist views of transgendered men.

You know after telling all of us straight guys we are just brutes and meanies for not being as open minded as them. And that they fully support them and they are equals and should,be treated with dignity and respect, and even love and affirmstion.

I tell you stupid can really come back and bite you in the ass.

The Sharia Law creep . . . men take over all private spaces controlled by females.

“I tell you stupid can really come back and bite you in the ass.”

I can’t believe there are stupid women who support this transgender crap. Only reason I can guess is they have a son/male relative who is this way. Same thing when Christian people have a kid who turns out gay. They are against it until it hits home, they they are for it.

” For starters, hillary’s enabling of Bill’s bad behavior is unacceptable to women who really care about the issue of abuse.”

Starters? Hillary been doing that back in Arkansas. That is nothing new. We already knew that.

All girl schools.
Girl’s summer camps
Girl’s clubs such as Girl Scouts
Sororities
Women’s prisons
Women’s shelters
Segregated homeless shelters

all are fair game now

I'm commenting on the opening sentence of the article.

"Oregon women seeking shelter from homelessness or abusive men are being forced to share sleeping and bathroom facilities with men who “self-identify” as a woman."

Maybe not so much transgendered perverts, but gay perverts and lesbians. Trannies are just the next part in the lgbt agenda.

Its a slippery slope. We have been warning them for years. They like gay friends. They like gay entertainers. And hairdreessers. Wo are they harming? Let them alone and be happy.

Now the next phase comes along and it hits them where they pee. And they dont like it. Well cupcake, youve beens upporting the perverts all along and now they are demanding you tolerate something you dont want to tolerate.

When we said they are perverts and not nice people if you disagree with them, and they are unhealthy and mentally disturbed, abnormal, not safe to be around in sjowers and bathrooms, you all just said we were over rescting and were homophobic and mean and unloving.

Welcome to the club.
