I have a transgendered person in my family, and I want to first acknowledge that people with this disorder go through a great amount of mental anguish and always have my sympathy. My sympathy and prayers to you and your family. Mental illnesses are tragic. Not well understood, nor treated.
But you right, although this is a burden that the person (and family) will have to bare, there really is no sense in pretending its 'normal'. Nor allowing this nonsense of providing equal access to common bathroom/shower facilities because someone with this affliction 'feels' better in women's clothing. Don't ridicule the person -- but don't delude him into believing that 'all is well' ... because it is not. Prayers, patience, and love are in order -- but not deceit.

In part, this shows the power of language (mainly it demonstrates stupidity).
Self-styled “progressives” made substituted “gender” for “sex” — on the basis that “gender” is a social construct. They might be right about “gender” being a social construct — it’s all in how you define “gender” — but, they’ve taken it a step further, and now insist that “sex” is a social construct (rather than biologically determined).
If you are whatever “gender” you think you are (and, by extension, in the muddled logic of “progressives”, also whichever “sex” you wish to be at the moment), then — well then, for a start, you have no shower room barriers.

American Psychiatric Association classifies gender identity disorder as a mental disorder for now...
To: Mr. Silverback
Sounds like the Equal Opportunity For Perverts Act.
As we create more and more "rights" for shall we say the oddballs in society, we put them on equal footing with a normal lady using a restroom. Next thing that happens is the normal lady ends up in court having to "explain" why she is discriminating against the poor oddball who just wants to be treated like everyone else. So now your mom is a lawbreaker for thinking she is entitled to common decency.

Well, the point of the locker room is to change from street clothes into the gym shorts and t-shirts.

Apparently it’s a real disorder and deserving of some compassion, but the left is making us conform to everyone who has a disorder. I have seen this in court and believe me in the eyes of the law the average citizen is treated as the narrow minded misanthropic bigot and is greeted with lots of suspicious, knowing looks by the judge. We definitely are discriminating AGAINST the average or normal person.

But we’ve been told that troops have nothing to fear from showering with men who suffer from same sex desire.

Any biological male who is willing to wear a dress and who is feeling transgendered at that particular moment can enter the ladies room or locker room.
When you remove the dress, you remove the claim to being a crossdressed "woman". We are born naked. The desire to wear the clothes of the other sex is psychological and cultural, not genetic.

Yes, it is. The force of law is going to be directed at the churches and hospitals. We are soon going to find out if American Christians deserve freedom. I’d note that one hospital in Puerto Rico cannot perform abortions because the entire nursing staff said they would not assist.

So let me get this straight, if I walk in the ladies' dressing room as a (reasonably) normal guy and just want to be in there, I will probably be arrested as a pervert invading the privacy of the ladies.
But if I put on a skirt and waltz in to check out the ladies, because I have the additional layer of being a man in a dress, they better not discriminate against me?
Just wow.

I think we need to have a constitutional amendment that gives the people the right to discriminate, in personal affairs, in commerce and in public accommodation for whatever reason they deem necessary.
To: Williams
"...But if I put on a skirt and waltz in to check out the ladies, because I have the additional layer of being a man in a dress, they better not discriminate against me?"That's correct. There's no such thing as a free lunch. It's only fair that you're required to give the ladies a show in return.

The Freedom to associate precludes the Freedom not to associate. The SCOTUS has already ruled this.

Didn't CA pass something like this statewide a while ago? Dunno when it takes effect.
But I feel a "transgendered" moment coming on as soon as I can grab a flight to MD.
Takes a real dope to pass a law like this.
But, they get what they vote for. Vote for a patriotic, Christian conservative who respects life or morality and that's what you get. Vote for an anti-American, athiest lib who has no respect for life or morality and that's what you get.

There are a lot of people who genuinely are anatomically and/or genetically transgendered The medical term for that is intersex, which has nothing at all to do with being gay.
