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

That's why we should amend the Bill of Rights to include it.

. A child molester or rapist could put on a dress and go right in. So could pornographists.

Ultimately, that is the point. The perverts who put forth these changes are aiming for a pansexual society in which they have sexual access to our children and our pets.

First, I am not saying their comfort supercedes anyone else's, or even that it is a legitimate area for the law to consider.

Second, it's beyond debate that transgenderism is a mental issue. Go pick up any book on it and it's either written by a psychiatrist or it's someone's tale of how they were treated by a psychiatrist for years. Some group of idiots (a minority even in the transsexual community) saying it's not changes nothing.

Montgomery County is like Berkeley, from what I hear.

Are you saying that a majority of the transsexual “community” believe they have mental issues? I honestly have never heard anyone who identified as a member of that “community” suggest that.

I think we should feel sympathy for these people. But facts are facts. Whatever a person may “feel,” and whatever operations they may have performed upon themselves, they will remain the same sex they were born with.

When my relative revealed his condition to me, he gave me two books on the subject, one an autobiographic account by a psychiatrist who specializes in treating transgendered patients and another that was more technical and general. What struck me in both was that virtually all of these patients report all their bad symptoms go away as soon as they receive hormone therapy. For example, you start giving a male with gender issues a daily dose of estrogen and he stops feeling like a woman trapped in a man's body.

And yet, instead of saying (as you would with other patients who have a brain imbalance that causes them mental difficulties) "Great, we'll keep you on that and you'll be able to function and be happy" the medical response is, "Great, soon we'll be able to schedule you for an extremely invasive, extremely expensive and completely elective series of surgical procedures." My wife says it's a good thing we don't take that approach with people who think they're golden retrievers. She also points out that if you say you're a specific woman (say, Marilyn Monroe) they treat you with drugs and therapy, but if you just say you're a woman, it's off to surgery.

What if a Muslim lady wants to use the locker room? Won’t this violate her privacy too? They aren’t afraid to stand up for their beliefs!

so if i feel like walking into the ladies room i can walk in, use the restroom right next to a little girl, and if i say i’m transgendered, its ok.
but if i take a leak in public, i’ll be put on the sex-offender registry.

that makes sense.

when [girls] start getting raped, their opinions on things like this will change, and you’ll see them marching in the streets.

I'm sorry to disillusion you, but this is Montgomery County, Maryland, the richest county in the state and one of the most liberal surburban counties in the U.S. It is full of lawyers, professors, social science "consultants", extremely well-paid government functionaries and high-techies, yuppie Democrat idealists and old-line Democrat die-hards.

The leftist sexual liberation movement in this country wants to redefine adult-child sex as a good thing, lower the age of consent or eliminate it completely, remove any distinction between opposite-sex rape and same-sex rape, and disallow "heteronormative bigotry."

Even against this backdrop, the people of this extremely liberal county don't want this transgender-normalization incursion into women's locker rooms.

And someone please explain to me how a transgendered woman is going to be treated in a men's locker room?

“Only in America” has taken on a distinctively different meaning within my lifetime.

Actually, my wife and I discussed that aspect, and we concluded that you could get away with it if you wore flannel and no makeup and said you’re a lesbian trapped in a man’s body.
