The intellectual dishonesty of the Left never ceases to amaze, does it? THEY created this controversy - THEY started pushing this brand new "transgender" agenda which never before existed, and now when people start responding to this radical agenda - they accuse the responders of having started the controversy! They are the ones that wanted to start drawing attention to the apparent fact they were going to the bathroom in restrooms designated for the opposite sex. They are the ones that started ordering that boys should be able to be on girls sports teams and vice versa. They are the ones pushing for men to be able to shower and undress in locker rooms with women and vice versa. No so-called "right wing extremist groups" were even thinking about this - and pretty much every media outlet you see reporting on this creates a bogus narrative like nothing was happening, then one day, out of the blue, "right wing extremist groups" wanted to start attacking people and discriminating against them.

This is the same strategy they employ on every issue and here they go yet again with it. Will they be allowed to get away this dishonesty yet again?

I don’t ever recall seeing a woman standing at the urinal. My wife doesn’t recall women named George with full facial hair touching up their makeup either.

Its not about transgender people which is an issue in itself. From the President to various major corporation the command is to allow anyone to use whatever restroom or locker room that they identify with. Who decides that? Every single individual. So any pervert that wants to get access only has to “identify” as something they are not. The policy the President issued and Target issued endanger our children and is total nonsense.

"...This controversy is surreal because it’s totally artificial. Transgender men and women have been using bathrooms without incident since long before any right wing extremist group dreamed up legislation to alienate and punish them..."

Bottom line: Leftists are mentally ill.

Well he said one thing I agree with - “This debate is not one of serious people”. To which I respond, “Then why do you incessantly bring it up?”

Ponder for a moment some examples… [of what this] means for schools that receive federal funding. A young man who says his gender identity is female must be offered a college dormitory room with roommates who are women (irrespective of the wishes of those roommates). An athlete who is biologically male in all respects must be allowed to compete for a position on a women’s sports team if he identifies himself as female. A first-grade girl who thinks she’s a boy can use the boys’ bathroom. And, yes, high-school boys who say they’re transgender girls may use the girls’ locker rooms and showers on the same terms, and at the same time, as the girls do — and vice versa, of course, for girls who say they’re transgender boys.
…In other words, it is the advocates of transgender access to bathrooms and showers who, under the guise of their nondiscrimination rhetoric, are in fact seeking to discriminate on the basis of — in favor of — gender identity. That’s exactly what a policy of making gender identity override biological sex entails: It makes gender identity determine which restrooms and showers a person is allowed to use, just as a policy of race-segregated restrooms and showers makes race determine which facilities a person is allowed to use. (I am of course not asserting that racial discrimination and discrimination in favor of gender identity are moral equivalents.)

The unsound proposition that separate facilities assigned by biological sex involves discrimination on the basis of gender identity collapses into incoherence. If a boy who identifies as female has a right under Title IX to use the girls’ restrooms and showers, then it would clearly be discrimination on the basis of gender identity to bar a boy who identifies as male from also using them. After all, the difference between these two biological males is that they have different gender identities. How could one of the males be allowed to use the girls’ facilities and the other be barred from doing so if Title IX bars discrimination on the basis of gender identity? In short, contrary to everyone’s (including the Obama administration’s) understanding of Title IX, the transgender illogic would disallow any system of single-sex facilities to survive.

Charlotte passed a bill that said a penis in a dress could use the ladies room.

NC state legislature responded.

Democrats dreamed up this Transgender issue and claims of a republican war on Transgenders to replace their
"War On Women" mantra of 2012.

They had little confidence that playing the "War On Women" card again this election would be effective what
with having Hillary The Bimbo Beater as their candidate and Bill The Rapist as potential First Spouse.

Transgender men and women have been using bathrooms without incident since long before any right wing extremist group dreamed up legislation to alienate and punish them.

Then they have also presumably been using those bathrooms without incident before a leftist president and a handful of vocal perverts decided they needed "protection," which, as you've just explained, they did NOT need before.

So which is it, you lying sack of crap? Was everything hunky-dory before this overhyped "controversy" and before obunghole's incessant meddling, or was it not?

artificial

Of course it is!

It is as made up of an issues as the states trying to ban contraceptives [reference to Stephanopoulos's question to Romney in the 2012 primary debate].

Dems/Media need issues. This fits the current agenda. The only thing that would make it better would be for Jenner to be Democrat.

We need a new TV show. “Pee Pee Reality”. Like Porn Stars or Dork Dynasty. Make another “Private Parts” channel on cable.

Hey, what about making one additional large single restroom that is gender-neutral and handicap accessible. Clear glass wall in front so no one will think it’s empty and barge in on you.

Yes, that’s the idea. And it works, because most of the stupid populace will fall for it.

I remember the olden days when the local public restroom had stools but no partitions. The urinal was a long porcelain trough.

No privacy at all for trans, but then back then there was no such thing as a trans.

Perhaps we should return to the servant with a bucket walking around so men could relieve themselves, kind of like in HISTORY OF THE WORLD PART ONE! (A Mel Brooks film).

You're right. It didn't become an issue until teenage boys in wigs and dresses started DEMANDING to use the girls' locker rooms.

Remember this sweetheart?

Right! Once they decided to publicize the idea, sexual predators realized they could take advantage of it.

This is nothing more than a PLAN out of the dnc to attempt to take the gubners mansion in NC. Same as the punk mccaullife giving the vote back to felons in his state. Nothing more than an attempt to gain dim-0 votes. Its an election year and this sorta stuff always starts when dim-0s need votes.

WHEN did you last hear ANYTHING about stem cell research?
