Time for transgender rights opponents to give up the fight
Los Angeles Times ^ | 12-27-2015 | The Los Angeles Times Editorial Board

Posted on 12/28/2015 4:36:18 PM PST by Salman

Ever since California's law to protect the rights of transgender students went into effect two years ago, opponents have tried to whip up fear and confusion about what they see as the scary new bathroom rules, under which they say that any child of any gender may wander into any old restroom whenever they want. Voters, however, aren't buying it. For the second time, backers of a ballot initiative to overturn the law have failed to gather enough signatures to qualify for the ballot. It's time they gave up the fight.

Lawmakers in 2013 passed the School Success and Opportunity Act, which was billed as a groundbreaking change for transgender rights, but really just clarified existing anti-discrimination policies in the state education code that were not always understood or followed. The law made it clear that transgender students may use the bathrooms and locker rooms — and can participate on the sports teams — that correspond to the gender with which they identify. The law's goal was to accommodate children born male or female, but who identify differently. It also addressed delicate issues transgender students confront daily, and eliminated the confusion and discomfort that might arise if, say, a teen who identifies and dresses as a girl was forced to use the boys' bathroom.

Resistance is futile, etc.

They need to move onto raping children. That will take some time but they will get there!

A boy wakes up one morning and decides, independent of science, logic, or common sense, that he is a girl.

How on earth can such self-deception confer rights?

Sorry, Big Brother, but I still have the right to believe in the evidence of my own eyes.

If it weren’t for Catlyn Jenner, how would we have ever learned that the “most difficult part about being a woman is deciding what to wear”?

NPR has rolled out the new new new propaganda phrase.

“gender confirmation”

iow it is not a reassignment but a confirmation of feeeeeeeelings.

It is really a simple test. xy=male xx=female. inboard=female outboard=male.

Forgive me for preaching to the choir, but:
If the left loses, they can try and try again.
If the left wins, the question is resolved and we all need to adjust to reality.

It’s time for the Los Angeles Times Editorial Board to leave the planet or at least never to be seen or heard from in public again for their perverted and abominable publication and demonic personalities.

The 2% of the 2% are now running the show!

>http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2014/07/diversity-destruction.html<

...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one’s own family.

Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.

Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse.
Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse.
And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday’s Diversity is today’s intolerable lack of Diversity.

Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.

Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then the re-naming of chaos as Good.

The Left *must* always feel superior to the masses, the bourgeois. To do so, they have a need to constantly show their superiority by championing THE CAUSE. The cause is whatever your average walking around normal person would consider to be abnormal. The Left then has a topic which with to hammer the masses and enforce the Left’s idea of being above the masses.

Unfortunately, once the masses cave to whatever is the cause-de-jure, the Left has to ratchet up to the next cause, no matter how absurd or destructive to the society.

More liberal lies. No one is against a so-called “transgender” person having rights. They are against special set asides for them and the special set asides is what these activists are fighting for...not “rights.”

Transgender is a mental illness, treat it as such.

Has the West Coast New York Times released Barky’s videotape of him denigrating Jews yet?
