Let me put it to you this way: an entire school district is being taken to court by the feds because a teenage male is not being allowed to use the girls shower facilities.

This is real, it is happening now. DT tries to dial back the public concern and outrage over such things. He played down the point people are making about things going terribly wrong, which is why some places are trying to legislate in this area, such as NC. And this is only the beginning, not the end, of these matters.

On this territory, on this ground, DT is USELESS. And if you are useless when facing real threats you might as well be on the wrong side. Personally I think DT is on the side of the relative few who are for the kind of outrages that are going on with these demands. Somebody should get close enough to DT to ask him point blank about the teen boy demanding to shower with the girls in school and what the feds are doing to that school district because of it.

Give me a person, in this case, a man, of conviction and the fearlessness and the verbal skills to state it, unmistakably.

I know who that man is and his initials are neither DT nor JK.

It probably is too late, but that doesn’t matter. He needs to retract this or he loses me. I’m just one guy, so it doesn’t matter in the great scheme of things, but I’ll not stand on the side opposing God.

God created them male and female.

The most anyone in office could say on this topic is “live and let live”, but monitor what ends up going on with all the bathroom switching for future challenges to current laws allowing this.

We know it is mental, but you have to go change the laws before objections aren’t considered an attack. That is how far off the courts are.

*yawn* why is everybody ramblinb about this non issue.

We have a problem with Islam and illegal immigration and you are rambling about trannies going to bathroom, there are almost no trannies in existence to begin with and men get to go bathrooms where little boys pee and that poses as much threat anyway.

After listening to Trump this morning on the Today Show, there is no way Cruz should quit.

Sorry I missed that. My usual routine is to watch Morning Joe a few minutes before getting ready for work. I won't miss them when Mika and Joe are fired on 1/20/2017, when the Obamas and ValJar leave the WH. Hillary disdains them as much as we do.

Joe has morphed into Peter King with his dislike of Cruz.

Cruz was given its last rites by the MSM before Iowa.

They can go pound sand.

Cruz will win this.

I’m a Trump supporter. But here, he is dead wrong.

“It is disconcerting to see posters on this forum expressing the view that opposing gay marriage is a lost cause”

It’s a sad reality that is our own fault.

During the whole gay marriage train-wreck, while the left was winning the PR war with “all love is equal”, our side, at least on FR, were posting bible verses as if that was going to be effective against a well-oiled machine that the gays had at their disposal.

I’m sorry that current social reality doesn’t give us lots of room, but after we successfully stopped gay marriage with state ballot measures, we completely went to sleep thinking the issue was won, while they went right back at it.

“There is no “bigger issue” than the defense of the fundamental building block of human society: the natural family”

When your national sovereignty is eroding, demographics are overwhelming the west with third-worlders, and ISIS is looking to blow our heads open, some of these things take a lower priority for now. That’s just the way it is.

We could have pushed back against this stuff 10 years ago and kept it at bay for at least a generation, but like I said, we all went to sleep.

“It is utter hypocrisy to claim to be a conservative yet care nothing that the gaystapo fanatics will stop at nothing until all who oppose them are punished and driven to ruination. “

That’s mighty melodramatic of you, but beyond complaining online, you actually need to have a stable nation to work from first before you can hope to fight the SJWs because they exist only because we are all distracted by war, and an unstable economy.

No one on the right wants to riot. Few will even try to protest because “that’s what hippies do”. Many wont even try to fight the left on other websites. Talk radio hosts dont even like boycotts! So unless people on our side really want to have to get off their duffs and have an armed conflict where people are going to get hurt and stuff gets broken over this, then you are going to have to prioritize because there are too many fronts and not enough people.

“That means that your little girl WILL be required to share toilets, changing rooms, and showers with biological males.”

Not honestly. If female students at one school can walk out over this, then you are not helpless.

The problem is that few people encounter this enough to even see it as a problem.

You are deluded in thinking this is a winning issue.

You are deluded in thinking that politics is more important than reality and rationality.

This issue is not the hill to die on.

I thought continuous retreat was the method of the Republican Establishment?

They won't die on any hill, and that's because they are afraid to lose their comfy situations. They simply have no integrity, and neither does anyone who thinks it is rational to let sick mentally ill men go into Women's restrooms.

How so many FReepers can be so deluded about this fool I have no idea. Same as the gushing love for Obama in 2008, I guess. Both are tools of the devil — just answered my question.

discern a gender-confused individual from a pervert who simply claims to be gender-confused to get access to the ladies’ room?

Go ahead, try to answer the question. I’ve got all day...


There is no need to answer the question, Antoninus. You already know there are evildoers who trick good people to abuse them. There are “kindly teachers” or coaches RIGHT NOW who are abusing children. Posing as a “transgender” to get into a woman’s restroom and molest would be one way to do evil and attack a child or helpless woman. But I can tell you stories of male looking MEN hiding in beach or other public bathrooms already. It’s already against the law. The “transgender” child molestor would be found out easier than a non transgender child molester because they would be 100% faking. They would not be living as a woman for real. It would get them caught faster. There are very few of these people with gender dysphoria in the world.

Yep. I’m giving him time to retract/walk-back, but I’ll be watching.

This violates deeply held beliefs on my part that are all tied together.

His populism translates to oh... about 40% of the GOP.

I’m guessing it will swing to about 50%-60% of the GOP come November.

Which is roughly right around 25-35% of the electorate in the general.

We get our rears handed to us in November by either RAT if Trump is the nominee...

That is why it is difficult to ignore this issue.

It will not be possible to ignore this issue, because the "Big Anus" mafia will not let anyone ignore this issue.

Xzins, listen to A CA Guy. His view is the correct one. You’ve got yourself quite a thread now and you’re likely overwhelmed with so many responses that you can’t get to them.

You have brought out all the Cruz supporters who are having a heyday with this issue. But they are a loud minority without a sense of how to strategize to win a war. They are going to lose, they are losers.

Donald Trump doesn’t make the laws and he knows that. He said leave NC bathrooms as they are. And you are going bananas because he said Jenner could squat to pee in Trump Towers?

Donald said in effect let the states decide.

We don’t need a national federal policy on bathrooms led by Holy Roller hypocrites. Let the states decide.
